Suddenly on Passenger Train
OKLAHOMA CITY: Rev Sam P
Jones thj noted evangelist dropped
dead on a Choctaw passenger train
near Little Rock early Monday
morning He had just concluded a
great revival here In which 3000
souls were converted and the labor
and strain of the meetings brought
on his fatal Illness His wife and
two daughters were with him when
he died enroute home to Carters-
ville Ga
It is believed by many that the
Georgian had a premonition of his
death based upon a statement from
his own lips made at the tabernacle
here In the Hast sermon he ever
preached He took as his subject
Sudden Death” and his text from
Proverbs xxix:l 'He that hath been
reproved hardeneth his neck shall
suddenly be destroyed and that
right suddenly” During his address
he made this startling statement:
Within the next ten days there
will be a death that will surprise ail
you” His remarks that night
were free from any bitterness and
the effect was noticeable in the eyes
of many of his auditors who with
tears streaming down their faces
listened to the plea of one who less
than a week later was stricken
down

ed the usual sized hickory kept in
stock for such occasions The case
was hard fought but resulted In tho
acquittal of Adel

Q3BBy Paul Nesbitt and
THE INDIAN CITIZEN VOTE
No Indian citizen should vote for
tho republican party because that
party has been absolutely responsible
for the mal-administration of affairs
in the Indian Territory
It was that party that forced the
Indian people without compensation
to give millions of acres of their land
to the colored people Granted that It
was a good thing to give the land to
the colored people the Indian people
might Xo have been paid for It And
t republican party not only took
away from the Indian people for "this

tribes continued to live but In addi-

THAT REPUBLICAN RECORD
In going before the publlo of Okla-
lakoma for their suffrages the repub-
licans are simply pointing to the rec-
ord of the party and on that ask
the people to permit them to write
the constitution for the new state
‘‘The party that does things" la the
slogan In this campaign
It Is Indeed the party that does
things It is the party that has made
laws for the trusts and for the spe-
cial privilege class for many years
It ts the party that has received mil-
lions of dollars from these same trustB
and corporations to carry on its cam-
paign It Is the party whose leaders
are composed of representalves of
these same trusts and corporations
It is the party that has refused to do
things for the masses of the people
for the laboring man It is the party
that in the last session of congress
refused to pass the “eight-hour” law
refused to pass a law to Investigate
the contributions to political par-

GRASSES FOR PA8TURAGE
I have seeded considerable land the
past ten years and will give briefly
my experience and observation
writes a correspondent of Farmers'
Review
In Mercer county Illinois the blue
grass (and red-top In the lowlands)
will supplant all other grasses In a
short time when used either as
meadc w or pasturage especially the
latter My plan of getting a good
pasture Is as follows: I seed In
either spring or autumn If In spring
with oats in autumn with rye With
oats I go through with seeder and
sow one bushel of clover seed to ten
acres of ground then I sow three
bushels of oats disk thoroughly har-
row once the Barne way then sow one
peck of timothy seed then cross har-
ow and leave until oats are ready
to harvest and almost invariably have
a good stand If on low ground I add
a little red top which Is easily grown
and yields a bountiful supply of both
hay and pasture I sow clover first
as It roots deepest The following
year I have an excellent crop of hay
pasture In the fall At this time blue
grass appears and In two or three
years is firmly set After the first
year the land may be pastured stead-
ily and soon forms a firm sod
Rye ts an excellent crop with which
to seed I plow the land about four
Inches deep as soon as oats are out
of the way enough to cover all trash
I then sow my rye at the rate of one
and one-half bushel per acre and one-
tenth bushel clover seed harrow once
and then apply one peck of timothy
and low-land red top and harrow thor-
oughly This Bhould be done by Sep-
tember first it then gets all the fall
rains After October first It may be
pastured In dry weather In the
spring it may be pastured without in-
jury to either crop until June first
Kye always shells out some and will
re-seed ithelf and makes excellent pas-
ture of meadow Whether seeding
with rye or oats I always cut the Btub-
ble high to protect from the hot sun
In the past ten years I have never yet
missed getting a good solid stand for
pasture or meadow
OIL IN MACADAM H1GHWAY8
Experiments Being Conducted In This
Country to Test Their Value
Road experts are more or less Inter-
ested in the use of oil on highways
in Chicago says the Prairie Farmer
what was known as the old "Midway"
In 1903 has been converted into a boul-
evard connecting Washington and
Jackson parks On the south drive
of the old 'Midway" the park commis-
sioners have applied oil to the drive
with the result that it has become
hard and somewhat unsafe for horses
Consequently drivers of fine horses
are avoiding this thoroughfare and
taking the other which Is macadam
but unolled It is reported that the
oiled side of the boulevard is in high
favor with automoblllsts
When oil is applied to earth roads
the effect is not so marked In por-
tions of southern California for In-
stance where the seasons are mild
the use of oil is regarded as highly
beneficial to earth roads
The department of agriculture Is
working on the oil road proposition
and is hopeful of results In Europe
oil highways are spoken of very high-
ly by writers who have Inspected
them but It Is evident that if oil is
used In this country to any great ex-
tent it must be applied in a combina-
tion which will not be either risky or
injurious to horses
RAIN BARREL AND SINK

Treatment of Old Harness
An old harness can be kept Ipoklng
like cow by using a dressing made
from three ounces turpentine and two
ounces white wax dissolved and mixed
over a slow fire Then add one ounce
Ivory black well pulverized Wash the
leather clean and when dry apply the
dressing

the fertilizing of our land
