AIDS NATURE'S WORK
EFFECT OF ACETYLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS.
Grow to Twice Actual Weight of
Those Exposed to Sunlight Only—
Latest Victory for This New and
Beautiful llluminant.
WOULD BETTER GO SLOW
The experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the
beautiful rays from the gas, acetylene,
are as effective as sunlight on the
growth of plants, and this may soon
become a subject for serious consider-
ation by all progressive cultivators of
the soil.
The results of the experiments are
astonishing, inasmuch as; they show
conclusively the great increase of
growth attained by supplementing
"The Light of Nature" with "The
Light of Acetylene" during the hours
in which the plants would otherwise be
In darkness. For instance, a certain
number of radish plants subjected to
acetylene light, during the night, grew
to twice the actual weight of the same
number of radishes given daylight
only, all other conditions being equal,
and peas had blossomed and partially
matured pods with the help of acety-
lene light, while without the added
light not even buds were apparent.
Acetylene is already taking its
place as an illuminant for towns from
a central plant, for lighting houses,
churches, schools and isolated build-
ings of all kinds, and it is being used
successfully for many other purposes.
A striking and important feature of
acetylene is the ease and small ex-
pense with which it can be made
available compared with the great ad-
vantages derived from its use. The
machine in which the gas is gener-
ated is easily installed.
Household Fire Extinguisher.
The nervous housewife who lives ;n
constant dread of fire, may with very
little trouble make an extinguisher
that will put out a blaze if used at
once. All she needs to do is to put
3 pounds of salt in a gallon of water,
and to this add 1% pounds of sal
ammoniac. This liquid should be bot-
tled and when the fire is discovered
it should be poured on it.
New Cattle Killing Device.
Butchers at Putney. England, have
4 new device for killing cattle, which
is like an ordinary single-barrel pistol
or large caliber, but instead of dis-
charging a shot, it drives out with
great force a bolt, which has occu-
pied the full length of the pistol bar-
rel, and this, entering the skull of an
animal, produces instantaneous stupe-
faction. without lodging a shot in the
brainpan to lessen the sale value of
the head.
Farmers Should be Ready for Peddlers
For Outside Grocery Concerns
GUTHRIE: Several agents for an
eastern grocery house are taking or-
ders tor provisions in the territory,
and they are making promises which
it. s°ems improbable will be fulfilled.
Mr. McNabb, secretary of the terri-
torial board of agriculture, has been
notified in regard to these agents, and
if he finds that they are attempting
to impose upon the farmers he will
expose their methods.
These grocery agents are taking or-
ders among the farmers for supplies,
to be delivered on the first of August.
The groceries are to be paid for upon
delivery. And in return for the pat-
I ronage the agents fill out a contract,
agreeing to buy all the eggs these
farmers have'for sale for the next five
years, for twenty five cents per dozen.
They also agree to buy all the butter
their customers will sell, paying for
it at the rate of thirty cents per pound*.
Of course, the farmers who refuse to
buy the groceries cannot sell their
butter and eggs to this firm. The
agents say they are representing a
large firm which proposes to erect i
great cold storage plant in Oklahoma
Cify, and have it in operation by the
first of October. The butter and eggs
will not be purchased, say the agents,
until after the cold storage plant has
been placed in operation.
Secretary McNabb believes these
agents are promising too much, and
he is afraid something will happen
which will cause the "big firm" to
change its mind about building the
cold storage plant in Oklahoma City,
in which case the farmers would have
nothing on hand bnt a stock of poor
groceries, for which they will pay a
larger price than the same goods
would cost them if purchased from lo-
cal dealers. Mr. McNabb believes
t his graft, if it Is found to be such, is
worse than the mail order graft,
against which a war is being waged
by the country newspapers of Okla-
homa.

KATY SUIT WITHDRAWN
Nightingale a European Bird.
There are no nightingales in a wild
state in this country, and probably
few, if any, in captivity. The night-
ingale is a bird of central and western
Europe only, reaching a limited re-
gion in the south and east of England
by the middle of April. The nightin-
gales of the Mediterranean, of Persia
and India are of a different species.
Nothing Extraordinary. •
A man "who knows it all" was not
in the least surprised when he heard
of a motor-car which could be turned
at will Into a bedstead or grand pi-
ano. He said he knows a man who
turned a motor-car into a telegraph
pole, a ditch, a fence und a horse, ail
within a few hours.—London An

Weight of Crowds.
Estimates of the weight of crowds
show that the weight during ordinary
public exhibitions and private gath-
erings is between sixty and 120 pounds
a square foot, with a possibility of
reaching as high as 200—despite the
legal limitation of 150 pounds and, in
some states, of 100 pounds.
Railway Company May Take Some
Other Course io Secure the Land
MI'SKOGEE: The suit of the
Missouii, Kansas & Texas Railway
company against John Bullette, an
allottee in the Creek nation, to force
him to give possession of his allot-
ment a test case, has been dismissed
in the federal court here upon motion
of the plaintiff company. This was
the first suit filed by the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas company to secure
possesion of land in Indian Territory
valued at forty million dollars, which
the railway people claimed under an
old land grant, made by the govern-
ment about thirty years ago. The
\fact that the railway company has
''withdrawn the suit, means that the
attorneys for the road either have a
new scheme on foot to get possession
of the land or are afraid to let the
matter come to trial, fearing an ad-
verst' decision which would take away
the claim to the proper^, which has
heretofore been a valuable asset.

She Was Revenged
"The fad of tracing one's ancestors
back as far as possible has a firmer
hold in the east than in the west,"
said Mortimer E. Walker of Boston
at. the Republican house. "One win-
ter I spent some time in a. certain
southeastern city which is noted for
its blue blood and exclusive inhabi-
tants. There was much jealousy in
the highest social circles, as there
were two factions which desired the
honors of being the original grandees.
Finally the leader of one faction
gathered together a few friends and
started a society known as the
Daughters of Ferdinand de Soto.
"This was supposed to be the ultra
fashionable society of the city, and
one by one the aspiring matrons por-
duced the indisputable proof that
they were eligible for membership.
Finally one of the younger set had the
temerity to try and force an entrance
into the charmed circle. She was
properly rebuked and blackballed
almost unanimously.
"She determined to Ije revenged,
and to that end did a little real in-
vestigating, which was more thor-
ough than any ancestor hunt which
was ever made in that city. The re-
sult of her investigations she made
public, and the outcome was the utter
rout of the daughters. For the young
woman proved beyond the question of
a doubt that Ferdinand de Soto had
died a bachelor."—Milwaukee Sen-
tinel.

NATIONAL GUARD ROW
Governor Will Not Name Date Unless
the Internal Strife Ceases
GUTHRIE: Unless the internal
strife in'the Oklahoma national gua'd
is brought to a close there may be no
annual encampment this year. Gov-
ernor Ferguson has said that there
would hi- no use in holding an en-
campment with the officers fiehting
among themselves They would not
have time to do anything at the en-
campment. Thr gathering would ne-
cessarily bring together the officers
whose authority seem to conflict an t
brum ai out unpleasantness whicri
might disrupt the guard. At the
sta:- at which affairs have beep for
the last month the temper of some o'
th'" coatl'< ting officers might result in
a li:;hr and disgrace the whole org>r
there is not much use In holding the
encampmcut if ti e officers are goine
CHANGED HUSBAND.
Wife Made Wise Change in Food.
Change Of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and bowel trouble.
A woman says:
"My husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from it for several years. It was al-
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.
"I thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee and persuaded him
to discontinue it. He did so. and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The
chance did him good from the begin-
ning, his digestion improved: he suf-
fered much less from his nervousness,
and when he added Grape-Nuts food
to his diet he was soon entirely cured.
"My friend, Mrs. , of Vicks-
burg (my former home) had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit home,
some months ago. I persuaded her to
use Grape-Nuts food. She was in de-
spair, and consented. She stuck to it
until it restored her health so com-
pletely that she is now the most enthu-
siastic friend of Grape-Nuts that I ever
knew. She eats it with cream or dry,
just as it comes from the package—
keeps it in her room and eats it when-
ever she feels like it.
"I began eating Grape-Nuts food,
myself, when my baby was two
months old, and I don't know what I
j should have done without it. My ap-
| petite was gone. I was weak and nerv-
j ous and afforded but very little nour-
ishment for the child. The Grape-Nuts
food. « f which I soon grew very fond.
I speedily set all this right again, and
I the baby grew healthful, ro^j- and
! beautiful as a mother could wish. He
is two years old now and ears Grape-
Nuts food himself I wish every tired
J young mother knew of the good that
j Grape-Nuts would do her."

Thirteen Cases Reported In New Or-
leans with Six Deaths
NEW ORLEANS: Official notices
were sent out by the state board of.
health that an autopsy on the body
an Italian resulted in a verdict that
hf died of yellow fever. He con-
tracted the disease in an infected dis-
trict In the Italian quarter near Char-
tres and Phillip streets, and died
after four days' illness. Representa-
tives of the Louisana state board of
health, Alabama state board and the
United States marine hospital service
were present, and all agreed that it
was a well-developed case of fever.
It was further announced that up
to date thirteen suspicious cases and
six deaths has been reported from the
sa/ne locality. It is confin. d to the
densely populated Italian quarters
from the old French market.
Dr. Souchon, president of the state
board, says the disease nas not spread
and Is confined to tne same foci of
infection.
He adds that drastic measures are
being taken to stamp out the disease
right where it is and beljeves that
present methods will succeed.
Meanwhile the quarantine slapped
on by Alabama, Mississippi and Texas
completely stopped ari traffic, and
passengers and baggage for points 1n
these states. Freignts, however, are
not affected, thereby causing no in-
terruption to business.
Local people feel aggrieved at Mo-
bile for slapping on the quarantine,
charging that the Itaiian fever cases
were traced from a steamer at Mobile

LAST DELAWARE PAYMENT
Indian Agent Kelsey Begins to Make
Out Rolls
MUSKOGEE: A committee of the
Delaware Indian citizens vieited the
Union Agency here and conferred
with Indian Agftit Dana H. Kelsey
relative to the Delaware payment that
is to be made soon. Mr. Kelsey will
begin soon to make out the rolls to
determine who are entitled to share
in the payment, and the cofnmittee
of Deiawares will he called in ton
conference occasionally. The commit-
tee is composed oi George Bullette,
Tulsa: John Young," Copan; John Sar-
coxie, Bartlesville: John H. Sacory-
nue, White Oak, and Henry Arm-
strong, Beedy's Bluff.
The payment about to be n ftde to
the Deiawares is the last they will
ever receive. There are something
over 2,000 members of the tribe and
the payment amounts to $150,000.
The Deiawares are the poorest In-
dians In the territory, and perhaps
in the United States. They lost their
national entity when they sold their
valuable lands in Kansas and Mis-
souri shortly after the civil war for a
mere pittance, at the dictation of un-
scrupulous leaders, /.ad removed 'to
Indian Territory. Here they took up
.their homes under the sovereignty of
the Cherokees. They have bee.i given
allotments along with the other citi-
zens of the Cherokee nation, but
time the Deiawares were the richest
Indians in the United States.
Ex-Confederates at Ada
ARDMORE: The annual reunion <f
*the Chickasaw brigade United Con-

come. The address of welcome on be-
half of the city was made by J. W.
Dean, and on behalf or the sons and
daughters by T. D. McKeown. Tho
response to the address of welcome
was made by J. P. Wood, brigadier
general of the Chickasaw brigade.
Roff was selected as the place for
holding the 1900 encampment and W.
W. Hyden ofaMcGee, was elected
