Horse Thieves Captured
Two horse thieves were taken in
near G W Finley’s on Tuesday after-
noon Fred Ainsworth and Deputy
Sheriff John Lucky effected the cap-
ture The two thieves- who gave
their names as Will Parsons and Lew
Lamar were charged with the theft
of two horses from Windle Bros
barn in Joplin and were closely fol-
lowed by Joplin officers who were re-
inforced at Lincolnville by the an
thorities there In factf the trailing
party was bat half an hour behind
them ami met the captors and cap-
tured at the north end of Main street
near the corporate limits as they
came in to tarn the men wanted over
to the county sheriff
At every point the progress of the
alleged thieves was noted in the
country north of town which is cov-
ered with the Mutnai Telephone Co’s
wires and in this way Fred Bnsworth
gave his sleuth rropensities full sway
and got the deputy sheriff to go with
him to effect the capture The horses
of the road gentry were jaded and
the thieves wore nothing in the shape
of arms except empty scabbards and
proved an easy prey n
The prisoners were held until Wed-
nesday when a Joplin officer appear-
ed and took them back without the
necessity of requisition papers the
men consenting to go without that
formality

CHOICE MISCELLANY
A New and Terrible Cannon
Recently a uew Invention boa been
introduced lu tbu manufacture of can-
nons lncreaelng tbetr range and re-
sistance to explosion It was Brat used
on a large scale in other countries but
It )s nevertheless the tnveutlon of XL
Schulta captain of French artillery
It Is n cannon of steel wire and Is con-
structed thus: Two hundred and eighty
kilometers of steel wire of Quadrangu-
lar cross section three millimeters
wide and one millimeter thick are
colled about a number of longitudinal
steel ‘ bars which constitute the boro
of the cannon The wire Is heated so
that when it cools and shrinks It ef-
fects s pressure which holds the pieces
forming the bore very firmly The ad-
vantage of such cannons Is that they
are stronger they offer a greater re-
slstnncs to circumferential strain and
can lie constructed at half the price of
othera A NrforattDg projectile from
a piece of thin kind can pierce partlcn-
larly bard steel ptdte equal tn thick-
ness to Its caliber Thus a shell from
one of these cannons pierced a piste
twenty centimeters thick re-enforced
by an oak mattress thirty centimeters
aud found Intact burled 340 meters

After eighteen hoars of solid work
the first legislature of Oklahoma ad
jonrned Tuesday morning sine die
after a session lasting until after
midnight Each house had passed
at least fifty bills in the last two days
which were sent to Gov Haskell for
his signature or veto
Ont of over 2000 bills introdneed
daring a session of six months bat
abont 250 bills will' become laws
Abont 400 bills will die on the cal-
enders or in committees and over a
i 9
thousand bills have been killed in
committees or pigeonholed
The session just closed has been re-
markable from the fact that it has
passed practically every bill recom-
mended in messages of Governor
Haskell The senate and honse have
worked in harmony in the main and
the democratic administration
left its Btamp upon practically every
measure passed
I The legislature has appropriated
approximately $4000000 of the
the state’s money more than $1000-
000 for educational institutions on
the west side ' Although the legisla
tore started oat to estaolish and lo-
cate in this side of Oklahoma three
new state normal schools an insane
asylum state penitentiary state re-
formatory and a number of other in
stitiitions it failed to locate any of
them except a school of mines at
Wilburton and 1 an orphans bonne at
Pryor Creek ’ A state industria
school for girls was1 established bat
not located
The house Tuesday passed bills ap-
propriated $622000 for new build-
ings for Western Oklahoma ednea
tional institutions 'distributed as fob
lows: State university $200000
Agricultural and Mechanical college'
$22000 Colored Agricultural' ant

The Miami mining camp tbe last to
enter the Joplin district jumped in-
to the fifth place in the list of pro-
ducing mining camps of the great
zinc field The output of the camp
consisted of 423980 pounds of zino
and 171320 pounds of lead
Senator Dick of Ohio chairman of
th e senate committee on mines and
mining baa reported favorably the
bill establishing a national bureau of
mines which has passed tbe house
They do say that Miami came
within four votes of securing the
School of Mines that she reached
for ’
The work of organizing by
township should be effected by the
democrats as early as practicable
and that time is now The field'
is white the national campaign ia
coming on and all things augur
well for' the democratic party in
Ottawa -v but some preliminary '
work needs doing

Gov Haskell did right in vfi- '
tolng the state print shop to be lo-
cated at Enid The state printing
office should be located at the state
capital wherever that is to be
and a future legislature will have
that work in hand With a per- '
manent state capital it will devolve
upon nhe legislature to act in the :
premises not before V

what he has 1 done In - a six
