PANIC IN CHURCH
A Fight Causes a Panio at a Negro
Baptist Convention
HOMER KILLED Will DUCK 75 OR 00

8limp«d« Followed
Birmingham, Ala.: In an awful
crash of humanity, caused by a stem-
pede in Shiloh Negro Baptist church, at
Avenue G and 18th street, between 75
and 80 persons were killed and as many
more seriously injured The catas-
trophe occurred just as Booker T.
Washington had concluded his address
to the national convention of Baptists,
and for three hours scenes arouud the
churoh were indescribable. Dead bodies
were strewn in every direction, and the
ambulance service of the city was
utterly incapacitated to move them.
Dozens of dead bodies were arranged
in rows on the ground outside of the
house of worship, awaiting removal to
the various undertaking establishments,
while more than a score were laid out
on benches Inside.
Just as Booker T. Washington con-
cluded his address, Judge Billon, a
negro lawyer from Baltimore, engaged
In an altercation with the choir leader
concerning an unoccupied seat, and it
is said that a blow was struck. Some
one in the choir cried "fight." Mis-
taking the word fight, for "fire" the
congregation arose en-masse and start-
ed for the door.
NIPPED IN THE BUD
What. Wn SuppoMil to Hot® Ileen i
Scheme to Kob Fair Averted
Shawnee: A gang of Indian Terri
tory desperadoes who had came here
were Buspected by the police as having
some scheme for creating a little excite-
ment and they were closely shadowed
by the officers until it was learned they
intended to hold up the fair association
for the gate receipts. Fearing an out
break Sheriff Schram and Chief Grail
armed a large number of men with a
good winchester apiece and had them
ready for business, in case they were
needed, but fortunately nothing came
of it. It was lucky that the offioers
wete given the "tip" else there might
have been trouble. The t fficers truly
believe that it was the intention of the
outlaws to commit depredations and the
arming of a large number of men and
having them on duty caused the des-
peradoes to give up their scheme.
The Status of Deaf and Dumb Indians
Guthrie: Major James F. Randlett,
United States Indian agent at Ana-
darko, has written to William Grimes,
territorial secretary, asking if the child
of an alloted Indian in Oklahoma is
eligible to enter the school for deaf
mutes at Guthrie At Anadarko is a
little Wichita Indian girl who has been
deaf and dumb since birth. She is 13
years old, and of such intelligence that
friends wish to give hex the advantages
of an education, which she oannot ob-
tain in the ceservation school, where
there is no teacher for deaf mutes.
Governor Ferguson said that the little
girl oould be admitted to the school the
same as a white child if her father had
his allotment. This is the first
time this question has been raised in
behalf of Indians, and probably will
lead to the admission of a number of
Indian children to the school for deaf
mutes.
JONES' PLAN
CommlsslMor Advocates Schools on In-
dian Reservations
Washington: The position to be
taken by Indian Commissioner Jones in
his forthcoming annual report relative
to the merits of reservation and non-
reservation schools will undoubtedly
result, if not in the abandonment of
the latter at an early day, at least in a
gradual diminution in their importance.
This matter is one of great importance
to the Indian servioe. Whether tho
non-reservation aohool is superior to
the reservation school is a question that
has excited much comment among In-
dian educators for many years. Both
of them have strong advocates. Con-
gress is inclined to favor the reserva-
tion school, the education of the In-,
dians at home; that is to say on the
reservation, and at the last session the
Indian commiiisioner was instructed td
present his views formally on the sub-
jeot at the coming session. Commis-
sioner Jones is now at work on hirf
report. In previous reports he has
thrown out strong hints that his prefer-
ence was for the reservation school; in
his forthcoming report he will make a,
clean-cut declaration in approval of
them. Those who advocate the educa-
tion of the Indian youth off the reser-,
vations assert that the plan enables the
pupil to learn by precept and example
the ways and habits of the palefaces.
MINISTER LEFT HIS FLOCK
A Krebs Preacher end Another Man's
Wife Missing
Vinita: For some time the people of
Krebs have been agitated over the dis-
appearance of Rev. J. P. Smith, pastoij
of the Methodist church at that place.1,
He left a month ago and was to be gone,
but two Sundays. But he has not re-i
turned, and there are signs that he nev-
er will return. And there is an ihdig-j
nant husband at Alderson, whose wife!
disappeared at the same time, and'
whom he does not expeot to see again/
The latter has secured pictures of SmitW
and sent them to various places in Tex-
as, with the hope that offioers may find
the former clergyman and bring him
to punishment if he deserves it.
Before leaving, Smith drew $435 of
his wife's money out of the bank,
which she did not discover until he had
been absent tor several weeks. The
Alderson woman disappeared at the
same time and as no word has yet been
received from either of them it is sup-
posed that they left together.
EDITOR ALLAN ASSAULTED
Son of a Norman Saloon-Keeper Uses a
Gun on John Allan
Norman : Trouble broke out again
over the whiskey light now in progress
here. John Allan, editor of the Voice,
who has been active against the saloon
aggressions was assaulted by Lewis
Lindsey, son of the man who assaulted
him a few days before. Lindsey drew
a revolver and struck him over the
head, and then undertook to shoot him
when bystanders interfered and pre-
vented a tragedy. Allen was not ser-
iously hurt. Lindsey was immediately
ai rested and taken before the police
judge who find him $25 for carrying a
revolver and f 100 for assault. He was
then ai rested by the county and bound
over to the gi and jury in the sum of
|8O0. The publio sentimoat is all with
AUsn, and the result wiU probably be
in the etd that Norman will have no
saioous.

Prisoner Curses th« Jndge
Wichita, Kans. : Tom Diflendorfer,
convicted of burglary, was sentenced
to the penitentiary for ten years. He
fcu-ned to the judge and aaid: "May
the curse of God rest upon yon, you
fcald headed old tyrant."
A Probable Himcn Prevented
Vinita: Sam Charley, an Indian from,
the Claremore neighborhood, a jag an<^
a large valise, were gathered in bjf
District'Attorney Soper. Charley was
handing out profanity in chunks, which,
the jag made especially picturesque,j
when the district attorney, who was on
the train, was appealed to and made
the arrest. When the valise which was
being conveyed by Charley was opened
here an assortment of booze was found
that would make a joint keeper turn
yellow. Every brand from Kansas
disturbance to Arkansas twist was
there in all their giory of golden labels.
Charley announced that it was to be
used at his wedding celebration. His
arrest evidently prevented a massacre.

ing, disfiguring humours of the skin, scalp, and blood,
becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only
because of its suffering but because of the dreadful fear
that the disfiguration is to be lifelong and mar its future
happiness and prosperity. Hence it becomes the duty of
mothers of such afflicted children to acquaint themselves
with the best, the purest, and mbst effective treatment
available, viz., THE CTJTICURA TREATMENT.

and soften the thickened cuticle, gentle anointings with CuticuraOwt-
mmt. to instantly allay itching, irritation, and inflammation, and soothe snd
heal are all that can be desired for the alleviation of the suffering of skin-
tortured infants and children and the oomfort of worn-out, worried mothers.
A single set is often sufficient to cure when the best physicians fall.
