OPERATORS QUIT
KATV TELEGRAPHERS STRIKE
FOR INCREASED WAGES
WUDGE PARKER RESIGNS
FOUR HUNORED ANO FIFTY MEN CO OUT
Lines in Oklahoma, Indian Territory
and North Texas are Included—
Will Interfere With Train Service
for Some Daya
ST. LOUIS: In response to a atrlke ,
ordtr issued by the chief of the Or-
der of Railway Telegraphera, with
headquarters here, 450 telegraphers |
employed by the Missouri, Kansas £
Texas railway system stopped work
Monday. The strike affects the main '
line and branches.
The action of the men la the result ,
of demands that were made several
me>nths ago, and which have been the 1
cause of frequent conferences between !
the officials of the road and the tele- 1
graphers' union. The men asked for |
an Increase in wages and certain >
other concessions.
The matter was first in the hands
of a special committee Af telegraph-
ers, representing the union, th"n It
was referred to the president of the
telegraphers' organization and last
March the men took a vote upon the
question of a strike.
A. A. Allen, general manager of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas company,
has given out the following statement
In reference to the strike:
"Altogether the strike Involves 450
of our operators, but it will not tie up
the system. We will continue to run
trains, although perhaps the regular
schedules will not be maintained In
the Immediate future."
In Indian Territory and Oklahoma
operators were called upon and or-
dered to check themselves out. At
Muskogee, Durant, Atoka and Deni-
son nonunlen men were waiting to
take the places of the men who give
up their poritions. Other operatt>rs
are being hurried to the point3 made
vacant. Trains are running, but
very slowly, and until orders can be
Bent over the wires they will have to
use old meeting points, which will
rause more or less delay all along the
line. At Dallas the men a'.l quit on
being called out, and telegraph busi-
ness all along the Katy is much con-
gested. For a time it was impossible
to get any messages through, and
even yet there Is no certainty about
delivering them.
New Breed of Cattle

Goodnight is building a monument to
his memory more lasting than the

In developing a new breed In crossing
common Texas cows with buffalo, the
newcomers being called Catalo. Of
this breed Mr. Goodnight says:
"Besides their great weight and the
extra quality of meat, they are, first,
roost probably immune from disease;
second, they never eat loco; third,
they never lie with their backs down
hill, which causes so much Iobs in
weak cat ti.'; fourth, they do not go
Into bog holes; fifth, they have the
greatest lungs of any animals on
earth, and. sixth, they put on more
flesh for what they eat than any
other animals."

PROMINENT ARMY MAN DIES
Democratic Candidate for Presidsnt
Ceases to be Chief Justice
ALBANY. N. Y : Alton Parker
ceased to be chief Justice of the court
of appeals of New York by handing in
his resignation after a two-minute
session of court, in which he and five
associate judges disposed of sixty*
six cases remaining on the calendar.
Without any intimation of bis pur-
pose he came to Albany, took part
with five other Judges In clearing up
all but three of the cases which had
been argued before the court and
then sent a messenger to file hla for-
mal resignation in the office of the
secretary of state as the constitution
and the law require.
Judge Parker Bp >nt the remainder
of the afternoon In conversation with
his former colleagues in the court.
He refused to make any statement
or comment In connection with his
resignation beyr>nd saying:
"It speaks for Itself."
His fellow judges were not so re-
ticent, and each one had something
to say, testifying to the esteem in
whleh they held him as a jurist and
a man. Judge Celera Martin, whose
aervlce is soon to expire by reason of
age. voiced the sentiments of all the
court when be Said:
"We all regret very sincerely that
the ne-cessity has arisen to separate
the members of the court. Judge
Parker takes with him from the court
the good will of every member of It,
and the profoundest respect and re-
gret. I could say nothing bad If I
tried, except that he is a democrat.
If he were a good republican, I tell
you he would be an Ideal fellow."
This resignation makes Mr. Parker
a free man, so far as public office-
holdlng is concerned—the first time
in nearly thirty years.
MARRIES AN INDIAN GIRL
Hero of the South African War Weds
at Muskogee
Lieutenant Richard Neale, Jr.. of
the British army was married at Mus-
kogee a few days ago to an Indian
girl of Canadian district, in the Chero-
kee nation. Ho came all the way
from South Africa to claim the sweet-
heart of his boyhood days. About the
time the war broke out In South
Africa Neale shipped from New-
Orleans and was soon at tne front.
H.> immediately enlisted as a British
trooper. He was in many battles and
has many scars. Neale was wound
ed at Bloemfountein, and there, by an
act of bravery, won the Victorian
cress, which he wears. His captain
fell, badly wounded. The young troop,
er reached the side of the fallen offi
cer, pulled him on his horse and car-
ried him off the field. The next
day the command'ng officer called for
the trooper who had performed this
act of bravery. A comrade of Neala
told him that it was the "Cherokee
Kid." that being the name he was
known by in his troop. For his brav-
ery Neale was promoted to a iieuten
ancy.
Mr. and Mrs. Neale left after their
marriage for England. After a short
visit there they will go to Johannes-
burg. where Lieutenant Neale is sta-
tioned. •

informed that it was coming, turned
the switch, allowing It to go on a

box cars, and was stopped. What
the object was in taking the engine
no one is able to tell.
The End for Phillip F. Hoffman, Chief
Clerk of the Southwestern Division
OKLAHOMA CIT-: In this city
occurred the death of Phillip F. Hoff-
man. chief clerk at the military head-
quarters of the Southwestern division.
This death brought to a close a very
busy and useful career. Mr. Hoff-
man had been connected with the gov-
ernment service for many years, and
during the Spanish-American war
was a quartermaster in the Eighth
1'nited States volunteer Infantry. Al-
though he had been in this city but
a few months, coming here from the
headquarters of the department of
Texas at San Antonio, where he had
also been chief clerk, at the organiza-
tion of this division, his milabillty
and sociability had gained him many
friends. His body was taken to Fort
Leavenworth, the former home of Mr.
Hoffman.
Ada business men and about one
hundred farmers met last week for
the purpose of talking good reads
leading into the city.
POSTAL CLERKS TO BE BONDED

der directing that every railway pos-
tal clerk shall give a $1,000 bond to

ment. Each clerk shall pay the
premium chargeable to himself.

L. Rockwell of the Chamber of Com-
merce has received the following mes.
sage from the mayor of Tetkio. Japan:
"Sent greeting to your city by to-day's
mall for Oklahoma City's day at the

from ao long a distance.
IS CONFLICTING
BOTH PACKERS AND BUTCHERS
CLAIM THE ADVANTAGE
AS YET NEITHER SIDE IS BENEFITTED
Chicago Stock Yards Are Filled With
Stock—Buyers Are Not Bidding—
Several Cars of Hogs and 8heep Re-
shipped
CHICAGO: The meat packers,
whose union employees are on strike,
claim to be in a better position than
at any time since the struggle began.
When asked for the packers' side of
the situation Arthur Meeker, general
manager for Armour * Co., said:
"The strike may be said to be near
an end. At the rate we are securing
new employees it will be only a mat-
ter of a short time until everything
will be in normal condition with us
once more. When the butcher work-
men repudiated their agreement and
renewed the strike, after signing an
agreement to submit all differences to
arbitration, we made a special effort
to win the fight, and we have been
a great deal more successful in our
efforts than the most sanguine of the
employers had hoped for. The old em-
ployees' places have been filled so
promptly that very few of the men
who went on strike will ever be able
to get back their old places, and those
who do will come back as indi-
viduals."
This statement was made by Mr.
Meeker after the packers hBd brought
In during one day, according to their
own estimates, 1.300 new men, and
another official of Armour & Co. had
said that the packing firms were do-
ing nearly 80 per cent of their usual
business. Police reports of the num-
ber of new employees arriving at the
yards bore out in a large measure the
packers' statements.
Despite these declarations of the
packers' representatives, the pens at
the stock yards are filled with cattle
and hogs that buyers make no bid for
in the market. According to commis-
sion men and officials of the Union
Stock Yards and Transit company,
out of the live stock received in one
day, more than 19,000 sheep and 10,-
000 hogs were reshipped, and unsold
stock is rapidly accumulating in the
pens. Twelve thousand hogs re-
mained unsold one day, and the pros-
pect of large receipts is causing the
handlers of live stock to fear a
shrinkage of their facilities. Accord-
ing to commission men, there are
thousands of holdovers In all depart-
ments of the yards, and the cattle in
the pens will not all be out of the
way for several days. In the face of
• all this, shippers are constantly for-
warding stock to Chicago, and indi-
cations are that there will be a de-
cided slump in the prices of live
stock.
The Situation at Kansas City
KANSAS CITY: Many packing
house strikers have applied for their
old positions, and a large number of
them have been re-employed. The
packers appear to be daily growing
stronger. The managers of the Ar-
mour and Fowler plants say that they
have about the same number of men
at work as when the strike was de-
clared.
Police Sergeant Wesley Reynolds,
who was shot by Norman A. Rupe, a
night watchman at Swift's plant, is
dead. The police have not been able
to find any evidence which would
contradict Rupe's story that the
shooting was accidental. Rupe is
confined in the Wyandotte county,
Kansas, jail.
MARKSMEN ARE SELECTED

vision in Army Shooting

Ardmore Police Resign
ARDMORE: The members of the
Ardmore police force, Lee McCoy,
Buck Garrett and John Caudle, have
resigned. No reason is given for the
action taken by the men.
GOVERNOR PATTISON DEAD
PHILADELPHIA: Robert E. Pattl-
«on. who was twice governor of Penn-
sylvania and twice comptroller of the
city, died at his home in Overbrook,
a suburb of this city. Pneumonia,
with a complicated weakness of the
heart, was the cause of his death.
Governor Pattlson was fifty-three
years of age. During the recent
democratic convention in St. Ixiuls he
was a member of the committee on
resolutions.
RUN ON A BANK
Frightened Depositors Withdrew
Their Depoeits From Chicago Bank
CHICAGO: The strike in the pack-
ing houses had a counter attraction
in the excitement atteuding a run on
the Drovers' Trust and Savings bank,
which is in the stock yards. The
rush of the depositors to the bank
started because of an unfounded ru-
mor that one of the packers' represen-
tatives bad withdrawn his money from
the institution, and reports that the
bank was used by the packing com-
panies as an adjunct in paying em-
ployes who have taken the places of
strikers.
Hundreds of depositors stood in line
to withdraw their small deposits.
When closing time came a thousand
persons were waiting for their money.
The bsftk determined to meet the
emergency, called in extra tellers and
the place was kept open until every
depositor who presented himself had
been satisfied. The paying windows
were closed after 8 o'clock. Nearly two
hours before that time the last man In
line had been paid his deposit in full.
It Is estimated that more than 3,000
depositors called and withdrew their
deposits. When the run was at its
height the bank withdrew $100,000 of
its deposits with the Commercial Na-
tfatial bank and a like amount from
the First National bank in order to
prevent any j^ssibllity of the bank's
being unable tc meet its obligations
promptly.
"We have plenty of money to meet
any kind of a run." said Vice Presi-
dent William A. Tilden after the bank
han been closed for the night.
Will Attempt to Make Peace
CHICAGO: Rumors of another
peace conference between the packers
and the strikers were occasioned by
the appearance at tho live stock ex-
change of John Boardman and M. E.
Mllner, president and secret?axy of
the Montana Roundup association, an
organization of drovers which sends
nearly 250,000 head of cattle to the
yards each year. The Montana men
represent several million dollars, and
announced that they were in Chicago
to Investigate the causes and con-
dltions surrounding the strike.
"This strike works great hardship
among the Montana herdsmen," said
Mr. Milner, "and we are anxious that
It should be settled. We are ready
to ship thousands of cattle which are
held back by the lack of demand and
the depressed market."
Although stock yards officers and
packers' representatives deny the re-
port of a peace movement, it is said
that the Montana men will try to an
range a conference.

THE WORK OF INCENDIARIES
Hobart Is Again Visited by Fire,
With a $10,000 Loss
HOBART: This town, which was
barely recovering from the shock of
the fire of a week ago, was again
visited by a fire that destroyed tho
Laclede hotel and also the Moore
hotel adjoining. Both buildings and
their contents were totally destroyed.
The total loss is estimated at about
$10,000. The insurant on the Leclede
and fixtures was about $2,000, and on
the Moore about $3,200. The Are is
thought to have been or incendiary
origin.
Potato Bugs Killing Nettle*
THOMAS: Farmers report that
the potato bug is destroying the "bull
nettle" and "buffalo burrs," two of
the worst weeds they have to contend
with. Hereafter when the bugs are
picked off the potato vines It will be
in order to carry them where these
weeds abound, and turn them loose
again to work out their own salva-
tion.
Murder end Suicide
GUTHRIE: After killing his
mother-in-law, Mrs. John James, at
Ponca City. Clarence Irwin then com-
mitted suicide by shooting himself.
Both died within thirty minutes after
the shooting. All parties formerly
lived at Peoria, 111., but recently re-
moved to Oklahoma, where the husband
of Mrs. James and Irwin had been em-
ployed on the "101" ranch. There had
been domestic trouble, and Mrs. James
refused Irwin's request to call on his
wife at t.lie James house.
ROSE HAS MANY COLORS.
Peculiar Ftewer the Production of
Eastern Gardeners.
The Chinese, Japanese and Siamese
are peculiarly skillful at botanical
feats. One of their wonderful achieve-
ments Is known as the "changeable
rose." The bloom is white in the
shade and red in the sunlight. After
night or in a dark room this curiosity
of the rose family is a pure waxy-white
blossom. When transferred to the
open air the transformation immedi-
ately steps in. the time of the entire
change of the flower from white to
red dependlngi on the degree of sun-
light and warmth. First the petals
take on a kind of washed or faded blue
color, and rapidly change to a faint
blush of pink. The pink gradually
deepens in hue until you find that
your lily-white rose of an hour before
Is as red as the reddest peony that
ever bloomed.
Truly a Friend in Great Need.
The traveler's tree of Madagascar

the traveler or domiciled native has
but to pierce one of these trees Just

has its beginning and out will flow
copiously pure, fresh water.
Still More Evidence.
Bay City. 111., August 8 (Special).—
Mr. K. F. Henley of this city adds his
evidence to that published almost
daily that a sure cure for Rheuma-
tism is now before the American peo-
ple and that that cure is Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills. Mr. Henley had Acute
Rheumatism. He has used Dodd's
Kidney Pills. He says of the result:
"After suffering for sixteen years
with Itheumat.'gm and using numer-
ous medicines fcr Rheumatism and
more medicines prescribed by doc-
tors, I at last tied Dodd's Kidney
Pills with the rr&olt that I got moro
bentfit from them than all the others
put together.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills were the only
thing to give me lelief, and I recom-
mend them to all suffering from
Acute Rheumatliun."
Rheumatism 1? caused by Uric Acid

all the Uric Acid out of the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kid-
neys.

VARIOUS WAYS OF WORKING.
All Men Can Not Follow Same Metl*.
ods In Their Labor.
We are not all built alike; what is
one man's pleasure Is another man's
pain. It is impossible for a one-horse
power engine to do the work of a ten-
horse power engine.
I have a cousin who says his best
work Is done when he has to do a
day's work in a couple of hours. I
think my best work is done when I
have a month in which to do a couple
of hours' work.
Practice Is absolutely necessary.
Somo never have been obliged to ac-
complish a definite amount of work
fcach day. If you are forced Into a
narrow path you are likely to accom-
plish more definite results than you
are if you Btroll on the boulevard.
A manager of a Jobbing house says
he can do four times the work now
tban when he commenced dictating.
This is due to practice and to limita-
tions in time. He has improved in-
voluntarily because his work forced
him ahead.—Earl M. Pratt.

OLD FASHIONED.
But Still in the Fashion.
It Is an ever new and interesting
story to hear how one can be entirely
made over by change of food.
"For two years I was troubled with
what my physician said was the old
fashioned dyspepsia.
"There was nothing I could eat but
20 or 30 minutes later I would be spit-
ting my food up in quantities until I
would be very faint and weak. This
went out from day to day until 1 was
terribly wasted away and without any
prospect of being helped.
"One day 1 was advised by an old
lady to try Grape-Nuts and cream
leaving off all fatty food. I had no
confidence that Grape-Nuts would do
all She said for me as I had tried so
many things without any help. But
it was so simple 1 thought I would
give it a trial ahe insisted so.
"Well I ate some for breakfast and
pretty soon the lady called to see her
'patient' as she called me and asked
If I had tried her advice.
" 'Glad you did child, do you feel
some better?'
" 'No,' I said, 'I do not know as I
do, the only difference I can se Is I
have no sour stomach and come to
think of It I haven't spit up your four
teaspoons of Grape-Nuts yet.'
"Nor did 1 ever have any trouble
with Grape-Nuts then or any other
time for this food always stays down
and my stomach digests it perfectly;
I soon got strong and well again and
bless that old lady every time I see
her.
"Once an Invalid of D8 pounds I now
weigh 125 pounds and feel strong and
well nnd it Is due entirely and only to
having found the proper food In
Grape-Nuts." Name given my Postum
