of the Children of llartlesvllle.
Two hundred and eighty single
desks for the first, second, third,
fourth and fifth grades; forty adjust-
able desks for the High school, two
dozen arm chairs and globes and
dictionaries made a part of an order
given this week for the Bartlesville
schools in preparation for the reopen-
ing in the fall when the enrollment
will be increased bv several hundred.
As a part of this program the wood-
work iu the Garfield building will be
repainted, rubber steps will be put on
the stairs, and a quantity of hose hai
been bought sufficient to reach all
over the grounds and sprinkle all the
trees. Moreover, things are going to
be fixed so that during the vacation
the steps of the Garfield building can-
not be used as a trysting place for
lovers. Spikes will not be driven in
the steps nor will an electric wire
throw shocks iDto the amorouB
couples who are preparing for June
weddings next year. Instead of that
lattice work barracades will be
erected, provided with lock and doors
In addition to the teachers of
sciences and languages, the Bartles
ville High school will have at tb
next term courses in music, art
physical culture and elocution. Mrs.
Earl Woods, of Delaware avenue, has
been engaged by the school board as
art supervisor in the grades and art
teacher in the High school. She will
also give instruction in penmanship
in all grades. Mrs. Woods
graduate of two art schools, one of
which is the Boston Art school, and
also a graduate of the Milwaukee
state normal. She has been engaged
in art work for ten years and had
splendid success with her private
classes in Bartlesville. Art will be
elective and university credits will b<
given for it.
Miss Jessie Mclntyre, a graduate of
the Chicago School of Expression
has been employed as teacher of phys-
ical culture and elocution. This will
be a High school study. Miss Mclc
tyre was the best in her class at the
school from which she graduated.
Miss Smith, one of the High school
Instructors, is an experienced basket-
ball coach and several other of the
teachers are expert players. Athletic
for both the boys and girls will be
carefully looked after next term.
Two of the teachers employed for
the -;ext term have resigned—Mis*
Eugenia Moore, who taught the sixth
grade, and Miss Sue May Thompson,
who was employed from Warrenton,
Mo., for a primary grade.
The teachers in the Bartlesville
schools have made plans to dispose
of their vacation as follows: Miss
Isabelle Hazen, the Latin teacher, in
Vermont and Michigan: Miss Trilla
Reed, teacher of German and mathe-
matics, will attend the state university
summer school; Miss Genevieve
Smith, the history and science teacher
will go to Chicago university for
study, and Miss Rechel liuth Ross,
the music supervisor, will take a post
graduate course in the same institu-
tion. Mrs. L. D. Rul and wtH recreate
on an oil lease near Dewey; Mrs. F.
B. Ricketts of the primary depart-
ment, has gone to Lima, Ohio, and
Miss Elizabeth Shea, of the eighth
grade, will visit her sister at Kansas
City. Misses Mattie Limb, II ah
Berry, Lillian Evans, Leona English
Mary Jenner and Ruth Born are at
the Warrensburg, Mo., stute normal
Two More Katy Train*.
Two more trains—one each way
are to be p.ut on between Osage Junc-
tion and Muskogee, to connect the two
lines of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas. The present trains, leaving
Muskogee at 9 a. m., arriving at
Osage at 12:30, departing from Osage
at 3 and arriving at Muskogee at 6:25
p. m., will be retained. The new train
will start from Osage about 8 a. m.
and will reach Muskogee at 11 o'clock,
catching the Flyer going south, The
equipment will be of the best. A meet-
ing of the Katv officials was held at
Parsons yesterday to arrange sched-
ules ou that line and other lines.
VOTE FOR THE CONSTITUTION.
Hartle*ville School Needs Requite Imme-
diate Statehood.
Seven more rooms, or buildings, are
needed to provide accommodation for
the several hundred pupils who will be
added to the enrollment of the Bartles-
ville schools at the opening next Sep-
tember. Six buildings were erected
last year In three wards. They were
crowded before the end of the term.
Flans by the board of education for
providing the needed buildings were
held up last year by the hope and ex-
pectation that in a very short time
statehood would be granted the terri-
tory, making bond issues for school
purposes possible. Such issues are
not possible now. They cannot be
made until statehood has been granted.
Ratification of the constitution and its
approval by the president must be had
to get statehood.
'1 he need* of the school children of
Bartlesville imperatively demand the
ratification of the constitution and its
approval. The situation of Oklahoma
Territory, and whether that situation
will iulluence its people for or against
the ratification of the constitution, is
no concern of ours. Oklahoma Ter-
ritory has a splendid public school
system, and has authority to raise
money for Increasing and maintaining
the efficiency of its schools. Indian
Territory can not.
In Bartlesville it will be necessary
again this year to Issue warrants
of the city in order to raise money with
which to buy low and erect school
buildings. Thi s« buildings must be
of a temporary and unstable character,
lacking tiie convenances and sur-
roundings to which pupils and in-
structors are entitled.
•The situation of fie people in the
country outside of Bartlesville is as
bad as it could be. They have no
public schools whatever.
Is there any one who will oppose
ratification of the constitution? is
there any Republican in Bartlesville
who by his vote will stand in the wav
of providing proper school facilities
for the children of this city? And if
President Roosevelt rejects the consti-
tution can he find a defender even
among the Republicans of Washing-
ton county?
FACTORY ALMOST READY.
Western Ventilator Company Await*
Arrival of More Machinery.
A new product of Bartlesville labor
and capital will be on the market in
about three weeks, and that the excel-
lent device manufactured by the
Western Home Ventilator company.
The factory building is sirua'ed north
of the Caney Valley Planing mill and
the Great Western Glass plant. It is
a large, two-story buildiug and will
provide sufficient space for a long
time to come. Much of the machinery
has arrived and has been installed
and several other machine* are yet to
be received. Ou the first floor are
eight machines, the power of which is
furnished by a large gas engine. The
second floor is being finished, to be
used as the assembling aud packing
room.
R. C. Mitchell is the superintendent
of the manufacturing department.
When the device was first put on the
market at Fayette ville, Ark., Mr.
Mitchell was running a machine shop
and undertook to r.anufacture them.
His shop ha- been brought to Bartles-

A Fair and Equitable Method Proposed
for llal*ing the Fifty Thousand Dollar*
Needed to Secure the St. Louis, liartles
ville and Pacific Itailroad.
Six of the nine members of the ex
ecutivo committee of the Bartlesville
Commercial club were present at the
session held at the club's room
Tuesday afternoon. This was a better
record of attendance than usual. The
results of the meeting also were good
A resolution was adopted directing
^the officers of the club to make a deed
to the Bartlesville Foundry and Ma
chine company for the three and t_
fraction acres of the original Gunter
Koss land south of the National Zinc
company. This will be the Bite for
the new industry. In accordance with
its policy of providing sites for all
factories locating here, the Commer-
cial club will give this site without
charge.
Representatives of the St. Louis
Bartlesville and Pacific railway com
pany suggested to the Commercial
club a plan for raising the $50,000
which is required if Bartlesville se
cures the general offices and shops
The method proposed is that each
property owner give toward the fund
a sum equal to twenty-five mills on
the assessed valuation of his prop
erty. Bartlesville as a city cannot
vote bonds. Yet every property owner
should give his share. The total val-
uation is upward of two million dol-
lars. People cannot be compelled to
pay the sum asked of them but they
ought to do so willingly and gladly.
The executive committee of the Com-
mercial club recommended accptance
of the proposition of the Great West-
ern Glass company of this cltv, which
offers ten thousand shares of its stock
for sale to local people at fifty cents a
share, promising that if this amount
of stock is taken the company will
more than double its capacity. The
company is now paying out $1,000 a
week iu wages; it will then pay out
$2,000 a week. E. Craver and A. D
Morton were appointed a committee
to solicit subscriptions for the pur
chase of stock.
The report of the committee on mem-
bership showed that more than $400
had been received in dues during the
recent campaign for members.
Twenty-five views of Bartlesville—
residences, business blocks, oil wells,

ment of the plant at this place.
Here he will operate a machine shop
in the Ventilator company plant but
this will have a seperate line and will
not compete with the business of
the Berridger establishment. M..
Mitchell's specialty will be the devel-
oping of inventions. He is now mak-
ing models for several devices.
A salesman for the Western Venti-
lator company is on the road and has
sent in many orders. He expresses a
confidence that he can sell goods as
fast as they can be manufactured.
TO DEDICATE CHURCH.
A Warren,
n., I'aator Invited to Give
the Sermon.
A male quartette aud a double quar
tette are part of the musical program
for the dedication of the Bartlesville
Presbyterian church J une 30. At that
time Rev. R. J. Lamb will be formally
Installed as pastor. Rev. A. Grant
Evans and Rev. M. F. Williams, of
Muskogee, aud Rev. C. W. Kerr, of
lulsa, will constitute the committee
for that purpose.
Rev. J. W. Smith, of Warren, Pa.,
has been invited to give the dedication
sermon on the 30th of this month. He
was the pastor to several former
Pennsylvania people now resident In
Bartlesville, anii it was at their re-
quest that he was invited. If he ac-
cepts the invitation he will remain
here several weeks visiting old friends.
Not all the money needed to dis-
charge the indebtedness on the church
building has yet been raised. This
will have to be raised before the dedi-
ation can be made.
Magee May be a t andidate.
Attorney Sam G. Magee is being
urged to become a candidate for the
Republican nomination for state sen-
ator and he has the suggestion under
consideration The conditions in this
section of Indian Territory, far
different from those In Oklahoma and
other portions of Indian Territory
will require legislation in the first
session, and an attorney naturally is
better qualified for service in the leg-
islature than a layman. The fact that
the Democratic nominee comes from
Tulsa county is believed to make the
chances for the Republican candidate
bright, if he comes from Washington
county This is the way Mr. M ague's
Republican friends look at it, but
Democrats arc firm in the belief that
no Republican candidate will have a
chance of success for any office in
either W ashington or Tulsa counties.
Itate of a Fare and a Third Tor the
Chautauqua.
Both the railroads entering Bar-
tlesville—the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas and the Sacta Fe—have made a
rate of one fare and a third for the
round trip for the Bartlesville Chau
tauqua. The tickets will be on sale
on June 17 at this price and the rate
will be good till the 25th. The Chau-
tauqua opens on the 18th and closes
on the 24th, hence the visitors will
have one day on which to reach here
and one day in which to return home
at the close of the Chautauqua.
Advertising matter has been gen
erously distributed throughout this
section of the country and the attrac-
tion has awakened a wide interest.
There is every reason to expect a
large crowd. The rate made by the
railroad company is as favorable as
is ever made for attractions of this
nature. Keen gratification was given
the Chautauqua management by the
action of the railroad passenger
agents.
The round trip to Bartlesville
from the following points is at the
rate of one fare and a third: Dewey
18 cents, Copan, 44 cents, Wann 62
cents, Owen 68 cents, Caney, 76 cents,
Ochelata 42 cents, Ramona 70 cents,
Vera 95 cents, Owasso $1.52, Nelagony
79 cents, Cleveland $2. This rate of
fare and a third applies to all points
within fifty miles of Bartlesville.
Tickets may be had at this price on
any day between June 17 and June 18.
Harry's Elaborate S-heme.
Harry Mote, a well known resident
of this city, went back to Indiana, his
former home, two weeks ago, and h's
efforts at advertising Bartlesville
were so elaborate as to make people
think he was crazy. In a letter to the
Examiner Harry thus elaborated one
of his schemes for advertising Bar-
tlesville: "I will in a few days go to
Marion, Ind., and fall dead on the
streets, but in my pocket will be the
following and I know it will be pub-
lished in all the daily newspapers:
'Sensational Mystery! Harry T.
Mote, the big booster from Bartles-
ville,' " etc.

committee was appointed to confer
with the officials of the Commercial
club regarding the plan of that or-
ganization to co operate with the city
in the erection of a city building. The
Bartlesville Inter-Urban railway,
through its president. J. J. Curl,
formally accepted the franchise re-
cently granted it for the construction
and maintenance of an electric light
and power plant.

Father of George W. Akin Passed Away
at Oleander, Cal.
A. G. Akin, father of E. M. and
George W. Akin, of Bartlesville, died
at his home in Oleander, Cal., Mon-
day of this week. Death was due to
apoplexy. The deceased was eighty-
six years of age. Of his five
sons all but one were with him when
the end came. E. H. Akin, the eldest,
had gone to Los Angeles to attend
the Shriners' meeting and went to the
home of his parents for a visit. He
was to have left for Bartlesville at 9
o'clock in the evening but at 9 o'clock
on the morning of that day his father
suffered a stroke of apoplexy and E.
H. remained at Oleander. George W.
Akin, of Bartlesville, of the American
Well and Prospecting company, was
prevented from attending the fuueral
by the length of time required to reach
California and by the illness of his
wife.
A. G. Akin went into the oil busi-
ness at Titusvllle, Pa., in 1867. He
was a man of fine education, and had
continued his studies in schools and
colleges until he was twenty-six years
of age. He began the practice of law
at Pittsburg but the oil business at-
tracted him and he abandoned the law
altogether. The Argue Brothers, now
of Lima, Ohio; Ruben Carroll and
George K. Anderson were his partners
in his early operations. A few years
ago his advancing years made it ad-
visable that Mr. Akin retire from
active business and be took up his
residence in the milder climate of
southern California. He and Mrs.
Akin celebrated their golden wedding
at Oleander last year. VV. L. Akin,
the youngest of the five children, came
from Alaska to attend the wedding
anniversary and remained at home.
B. A. Akin, of Titusville, Pa., and
M. E. Akin, who lives in California,
also were at Oleander at the time of
tt)i 1r father's death
The shops and offices of the Ameri-
can Well and Prospecting company
were closed on the day of the funeral.
A STRIKE AT THE SMELTER.
Sund
The Furnace Men Get Substantial
creases in Wages.
All the furnace men at the Lanyon-
Starr smelter walked ont Tuesday
morning on a strike. This included
the men known as the "half shifts,"
who were receiving $1 80; the coney
cleaners, whose wages were $1.70 per
day^ and the chargers, who earned
$2.45. The men asked for a uniform
raiseof 25cents per day. Thedemand
was made Saturday. Monday fore-
noon a committee of five men repre-
senting the strikers were appointed to
confer with the company. An agree-
ment was reached Tuesday morning at
8 o'clock whereby the following scale
was adopted: The $1.80 men were giv-
en a 20 cent raise, the coney cleaners
5 cents and thechargerB 15 cents. The
men all began work Wednesday morn-
ing under the new schedule of wages.
It is thought that both the other smel-
ters will adopt this schedule.
At the Bartlesville Zinc company's
plant, north of the Lanyon, the foun-
dations are in for two furnaces and
the pottery building has been com-
pleted to the second story. The stack
will b| started this week. With the
completion of the pottery the installa-
tion of the machinery will begin. The
plant will be in operation by October 1.
J. George Gets Plum.
Indian Inspector J. Gecrge Wright,
was appointed Monday commissioner
to the five civilized tribes in Indian
Territory, vice Tams Bixby. His ap-
pointment takes effect July 1. Wright
originally was from Chicago, but he
has been in the Indian service since
1888, and for the last eleven years has
been Indian inspector and "has spent
most of that time in the Indian Terri-
tory. His salary is increased bv the
appointment from $2,500 to $5,000
year.
Orchard and Foster Com pared.
Local attorneys anil others have re-
marked upou the resemblance between
the case of Harry Orchard, the chief
witness in the Haywood-Moyer-Petti-
bonecasc at Boise, Idaho, and "Jack"
Foster in the Peters-Hicks case. Fos-
ter made a statement confessing part
in the murder of "Johnny" Peters
and implicating- four other persons,
two of whom have since been dis-
charged. Foster's testimony was cor-
roborated In several details but Judge
Parker took the case from the jury
and discharged the man whom Foster
said helped kill Peters. In the case of
Orchard evidence corroborating his
testimony that murder was committed
is abundant, but so far there has been
no more evidence corroborating Or-
chard's charge of a conspiracy than
there was In the Foster case.

Gore Has
Nomination for United State* Senator-
Washington County Convention Meets
Today—Hark Horse Candidates.
On the face of the returns C. N.
Haskell is the Democratic candidate
for governor of the proposed state of
Oklahoma. Cruce may contest bis
nomination when the state committee
meets to canvass the returns. Gore
has defeated Hoffman and Hoffman
concedes it. Turner says he hopes be
will have a chance in case contests.
The vote in Washington county for
go ernor was: Cruce 232, Doyle 44,
Haskell 299. For United States sena-
tor. Gore 181, Hoffman 185, Turner
178, Eurman 44, Owen 436, Rutherford

106. For judge of the supreme
court: Turner, 301, Horton 112. For
congress: Bard 47, Davenport 149,
LaBay 210, Hunt 46. Elections were
not held at Hillside and Cotton Valley.
The Democratic county convention
will convene at the Bradly & Bryant
opera house at 11 o'clock this morn-
ing for the purpose of nominating can-
didates for the various county offices.
Tnere will be 144 delegates Jin attend-
ance, as it is believed that each pre-
cinct will send its full quota. After
the appointment of the usual commit-
tees the convention will aujourn and
reconvene at 1:30, when the real work
will begin.
The greatest interest centers in the
nomination of a candidate for sheriff,
as there are six aspirants for the office,
all of whom have more or less back
lng. Bartlesville has four candidates
for the position — William Mclnroy,
James Gray, Smith Lounsbury, and
Ernest Lewis, while Dewey will pre-
sent the name of J ames A. Brown and
Ramona that of John D. Jordon. A
preliminary skirmish occurred in the
shrievalty fight Wednesday night,
when the delegates of the first ward
met and declared for Smith Lounsbury
first, last and all the lime. It is un-
derstood that the other Bartlesville
delegations will go in'o the conven-
tion without instructions. Judge A.
F. Vandeventer, candidate for repre-
sentative: A. T. Dumenill, of Dewey,
candidate for county judge: Miss Flos
sle Lewis, of Ramona, cand'4«te for
superintendent of schooi<t:E. C.D'Yar
mett: candidate for county surveyor.
J. N. McCallister, candidal for coro-
ner, and John B. Churchill, of Copan,
candidate for district clerk, it is be-
lieved, will be no mated without oi^-
holdings, 4.800 acres, for any one
firm, stand. Strong efforts were
made to have the limit raised with
reference to gas. Secretary Garfield
will make no changes until he has
made a personal investigation of the
field. He will reach Muskogee August
1-3, and spend a week iu Indian Terri-
tory.
The secretary had under considera-
tion a plan for a change in the rulings
which would have given much trouble
had it been put in operation. The
theory of the department is that no
contract exists between the allottee and
the taker of a lease until the lease
had been approved by the department.
It was proposed that if development
near a lease pending for approval
made that lease more valuable than at
the time it was taken, the lease could
be resold at any time up to the time it
was finally approved. This plan
appears, however, to have been
abandoned.
Assignments of leases are now being
made as a matter of course, limited
only by the requirement that the buyer
hold not to exceed 4800 acres.
GOOD MINING PROPERTY.
Bartlesville Men Ai-i>*ar to Have Struck
it Rich ut .loplln,
A recent issue .jt the Joplin Globe
has the following news of a mining
enterprise in which Bartlesville peo-
ple are largely interested:
"TheColgen and Kentanwein mininr
compauies, composed of Bartlesville,.
Wisconsin and New York capitalists,
are making extensive ore develop-
ments on their leases in East Hollow
west of Joplin. The interests of the
company are looked after by Mr. S
H. Bonsall of this city.

are connected to the mill by 900 feet of

of Bartlesville, are candidates for the ^ ft£oaa\ot
nomination. Both are popular and deepere *orU we're a
both have rendered the party excellent When f
service in this county, so that tie, f the lea
friends of each will make the strong, st' prouositior
kind of a fight in their behalf. The -
county clerkship will go to either Tom
Ellis, of Ochelata, or J. H.Gorden, of
Copan. For a time it was thought
that there would be a dark horse
brought out in connection with this
office, as friends of Marion Parr
strongly urged him to allow his name
to be presented to the convention. Mr.
Parr, however, declined on the ground
that he believed that Bartlesville was
likely to get all of the offices to which
it was entitled, and that the county
clerkship should go to the country.
He further stated that he did not con-
sider it would be fair to the other can-
didates to allow his name to be placed
in nomination at so late a date.
J. B. Robinson, of Ramona, and
W. C. Van Hoy, candidates for county
attorney, are likely to have a dark
horse sprung upon them when the con-
vention reaches the nominations for
that office in the person of J. T. Ship-
man. Considerable opposition has
been developed to this plan, on the
part of other Bartlesville candidates,
not that there is any objections to Mr.
Shipmau's candidacy, fuitber than
that it is believed that such a move
will undoubtedly cost Bartlesville its
shrievalty.
An important part of tne conven-
tion's work will be the election of the
new county committee. The old com-
mittee will wind up its work today by
canvassing the returns of the primary
election in Washington CDunty.
