rteoret service officers found an
immense wholesale opium joint in
Kansas City, run by Chinamen, and

Sixteen battleships of the Aiuer
ican navy ara to make another no-
table cruise, not around the world
but visiting the principal ports of
Europe. The battleships will leave

When the official figures of
Tuesday's primaries in the various
couuties of Oklahoma nro can-
vassed, then Oklahoma will know
who has been nominated for gov-
ernor on the Democratic ticket.
That's the situation Wednesday.
Reports that have been received
show that Murray and Cruce are
running neck and neck, and that
Ross is running much stronger
than even his strongest admirers
had expected.
Some people claim to make a
study of human nature. Thay will
tell you they can read character at
eight—know faces and what they
index. Let ue grant all this to be
so—maybe they can. Thenagaiu,
maybe they cun't—they only think
they can. Faces don't always tell
the whole story. Behind the frown
and the knitted brow may lurk a
big h^Tt and a soul lull of heal-
ing humor. Behind the easy smile
r skulk the worst old wolf of a
ber you ever saw.
To Make a Burn Painless
When living iu Calcutta many
years ago, 1 fell asleep one even-
ing while smoking a cigar, to wake
up to find the lighted end of oigar
on the back of my left hand, plus
a burn the size of a rupee. The burn
1 dressed in the usual way with oil
etc.; notwithstanding, the pain was
so great I did not sleep all that
night, the acute pain not subsiding
till noon next day. Some weeks
after I burnt my other hand in a
similar manuer. Knowing that oil
had failed tu keep away the pain,
something put it in my hoad to try
paper;so I tore a piece off the Cal-
cutta daily paper I had been read-
ing aud applied it firmly to the
burn, with the result that in less
than half a minute 1 felt the pain
getting less, and before the min-
ute was up the pain had gone.
Since that date 1 have had many
burns, all of which I have rendered
painless by the immediate appli-
cation of a piece of paper.
From numerous portions of the
state are coming complaints that
there was a shortage of Republican
ballots at the primaries Tuesday.
In Murry county in a number of
precincts the Republican ballots

sufficent number of Republican
ballots have been received from
the counties of Osage, Pawnee,
Pottawatomie, Love, Stephens,

The city of Caney will hold a
bond election Tuesday, August 9th
at which time a vote will bo takon
on the question of issuing $20,000
worth of railroad aid bonds to as-
sist the Cherryvale, Oklahoma &
Texas Railway Company. The in oil
ey derived from this sale will be
used to assist in building a depot,
shop*, sidings and necessary term-
inal facilities. It will be remember-
ed by the people of Maramec that
this is the much talked of "Porter
road" that has been surveyed
through here aud on to the Texas
coast. The construction company
are now supposed to be building
what is called the Boutheaut branch
of this road from Caney to Fnyett-
ville, Arkansas.
We had sooner see a girl kiss a
blind shout through a barb wire
feuce than have her change part-
ners six nights in the week in the
frout parlor with the lights turned
low, says tho Stafford Courier. It
in much herder to marry i>ff a girl
who has been pawed over by every
ynp iu the community than it is to
fatten u shont on pine apple ice.

Outside the Rug
Various methods are adopted
where the floor left bare by the rug
is not in good condition. A width
of some carpet of pl iin color aud
good quality may be tacked down,
ond the color must not be obtru-
sive. There are cotton ard wool
fillings, plain tapestries, nnd other
kinds that may bo used In 6ome
rooms, matting may be used to
cover the baroness. Denims in
solid dark colors is sometimes used
us it is very inexpensive. A good
coating of paint, followed by two
or three coats of varnishe will an-
swer in most instances.
Say "I'm Feelin' Fine."
There ain't no use in kickin', friend,
if things don't come your way;
It does no good to holler round, an'
grumble night and day;
The thing to do 's to curbyer grief
cut out yer little whine,
An' when they ask you how you arc,
jest say, "I'm feeliu' flue ''
They ain't no man alive but what
is booked to get his slap;
They ain't no man that walks but
nhat from trouble gets his r8p;
Go mingle with the bunch, old boy,
. where all the bright lights shine.
And when they ask you how you art.
jest say, "I'm feelin' fine."
Yer heart may be jest bustiii' with
some real er fancied woe,
Hut if you smile the other folks aiu't
very apt to know;
The old world laughs at heartaches,
friend, be they your own, or mine;
So, when they ask you how jou are,
jest say, "I'm feelin' fine-

Two Work Horses Earn $13,500.
Among recent stories of work
horses, that told of two belonging to
a New York contractor is especially
Interesting, the animals being 26 and
25 years old respectively, their pres-
ent owner having had them both for
over twenty years and netther one
having cost him a penny for "re-
pairs."
Deciding that after years of service
they were entitled to live for ever
after in the country, he sent them to
his stock farm, but to his surprise
they lost flesh and gave other indica-
tions of sadly missing the old routine,
s* that he had them brought back to
easy routine work on aqueduct and
subway. It is estimated that the hu-
mane and intelligent treatment given
these animals up to the beginning ot
this year has netted their owner in
service the equivalent of $13,500, and
this is certainly * telling economio
argument for klrxlness. Vogue.

Most Mysterious Disease.
Rabies is a most mysterious dis-
ease, so much so that doubtless there
have been many deaths from so-called
hidden rabies in country people, never
even suspected as hydrophobia. Some
more furious cases could easily be
mistaken for acute violent insanity.
Others look like acute general paraly-
sis. always bringing death. There
seems as yet no remedy for hydropho-
bia except t«J kill dogs mercifully and
by wholesale. Hydrophobia is gradu-
ally and strongly taking a firm hold in
this country and American character
seems too shiftless and variable to
keep «P and drive the pest out by
years of patient, persistent use of the
muzzle, aa was done in England.—

WRONG IN THEIR JUDGMENT
Youthful Phytlognomiata In Fault at
Placing Object of Their
Admiration.
Thoy were youthful enthusiasts In
physiognomy. On the seat opposite In
tho train was a man of commanding
figure, massive brow and serious ex-
pression. "Splendid facet" one of
them exclaimed. "What do you sup-
pose his lifework has been?"
"A lawyer?" suggested the other.
"No-o; there's too much benevo-
lence in that face for a lawyer."
"Maybe a banker?"
"Oh, no. A man with an expression
like that couldn't have spent his Ufa
In merely turning over money "
"He might be an editor "
"An editor! Cutting and slashing
his enemies at every turn, and even
his friends occasionally, for the sake
of a smart paragraph? You can't
read faces. That man's a philanthro-
pist, or engaged In sonp sort of pub-
lic-spirited work. Why, there Isn't u
line that doesn't Indicate strength of
purposo and nobility. Look at that
curve thero on the left!"
At tho next station an old country-
man took his seat beside the man
with massive brow and aoon entered
Into a conversation with him, In tho
course of which ho asked (he latter
'what was his Una."
The two opposite held their breath
In the Intensity of their Interest,
i "Ob, I've got s little tavern and
' butcher shop back In the country a
I bit," was the proud reply. "My wife
J tends to the meals, and I do my own

Blood Trarsfusion
There Is nothing more riramau<Tin
surgerv than a tran  fusion of blood-
to see the patient take on the rosy
hue ol health, to wafcen out of his leth-
argy, show an immediate live inter-
est in his surrouni.ings, and actually
recover under the eye of the operator.
In adults we must not permit the
amount transfused to equal tho normal,
for fear of suddenly overtaxing the
heart, but in thro case of young chil-
dren ' who hare had severe hem-
orrhages there may be complete re-
covery without a period of convales-
cence. so that at the termination of
the operation the patient Is well.

Live Stock Letter
Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug
1, 1010, C^uarantiue receipts
dropped down to 506 oar loads
hare last week, but heavy cattle
reoeipte from native territory at all
the markets gave the market a bad
tone. Buyers favored the quaran-
tines all week, and declines in the
quarantine division were not more
than half as groat as on native
cattle. Stoers lost 15 to 25 cents,
cows 10 to 15 cents, and calves
closed 50 cents lower. Dry pus-
tares and lack of stock water in
many sections drove iu a good
many oattle Ust week, and some
were frightend onto the market,
in fear of drought and heavy runs
of cattle this week, and at the five
leading markets receipts were six-
ty thousand head greater thau same
week last year, Chicago got the
big end of the dry weather cattle,
from Iowa, Minnesota and Dako-
tns, where weather has been the
dryest. liaitis fell in different
parts of the country last week, and
the run here is 12000 head, includ-
ing 2000 calves, of which 7$ car
loads were quarantines. This is a
light run in each division, and
prices are Btrong to 10 higher all
Hround, stockers and feeders 15 to
35 cents higher. Top quarantines
today $5.00, bulk of steers $1.15 to
fl.75, light thin steers down to
$3.50, best cows $3.75, bulk of
cows and heifers $2 80 to $3 50.
calves $4 50 to $7 50, bulls $2 80 to
*3.60.
Hog run today is only 4500 head,
but this meagre supply did uot
prevent packers from effecting a
big coup, prices off 15 to 30 cents,
heavy hogs in a demoralized con-
dition. Heavies are selling at §7.
1)5 to $7 80 today, medium weights
$7. 85 to $8 15, light hogs ut $8.15
to $8.35. Receipts at all tho mar-
kets are running ahead of this time
last year, and packers iusist that
provisions must be put up at «
cheaper cost iu view of the condi-
tions. Prospective buyers of pro-
visions are waiting for lower prices
aud packers are making a de.«per-
j ate efforts to cheapen up their
stocks-
1 Lambs lost 50 to 75 cents last
week, but sheep held steady.
Rtins are moderate, not many from
native territory, aud the range
movement not yet to any great ex-
teut, except to Northern markets,
where lots of dry weather sheep
and lambs aro runuing, Omaha
sheep receipts doubled lust month
over July last year. Run hero is
1500 today, extremely light, mar-
ket 10 higher, lambs up to $7.1">,
yearlings $5-00, wethers $4.25.
ewes $4.00, stock and feeding
grades $2 50 to $4,00.
