Domestic Items.
John D. Rockefeller, always popular
among the people ol' Terrytown, N. Y.,
where lie lives, is adding to that pop-
ularity Ibis spring by his fondness
for taking his friends and neighbors
out driving. Not a pleasant day goes
by without the oil king inviting some
of them, men, women and children, to
ride with him in automobile or car-
riage. and It is safe to say that the in-
vitations are seldom declined, for his
vehicles are the best to be had, and
the drives around Tarrytown are beau-
tiful. Mr. Rockefeller, before starting
for a ride, always dons a paper vest,
declaring it a great protection against
colds, and he insists that his guests do
the same. After the ride he refuses to
take back the garments, and conse-
quently in nearly every home in Tarry-
town may be found a paper vest pre-
served as a souvenir of a delightful
ride with the multi-millionaire.

ing company at Kansas City with a

GOVERNOR HASKELL DON'T
SEEM INCLINED TO ACT
RESUBMISSIONISTS CANNOT GET
VOTE ON THEIR AMENDMENT.
They Must First Establish That Their
Position Is Constitutional Before
the Governor Will Proclaim
the Election Desired.
Guthrie.—It has become evident
here that there will be no election for
the adoption of high license and local
option to replace prohibition in Ok-
lahoma unless Governor Haskell is
compelled by mandamus of the su-
preme court of the state to issue the
proclamation. Governor Haskell has
stated to friends that he will not call
an election upon the local option pe-
titions until the question of the con-
stitutionality of the proposed amend-
ment to the constitution is establish
ed.
Attorneys have advised the prohibi-
tionists that the governor cannot be
legally forced to witness the detach
Ing of the signatures to the petitions
or call the election, as no mandamus
action in the courts of Oklahoma
would lie against him. Therefore
they believe the governor Is secure in
his position and that the antis must
have the constitutionality of their pro-
posed amendment tested and sustain
ed if they would have an election pro
clamation issued.

New York.
New York, May 20.—The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of 4 to 7 points, a better response to
the firm Liverpool cables and reports
of a better foreign trade demand being
prevented by overnight selling orders
and favorable weather reports. Trad-
ing was quite active early, and after
some hesitation the market showed a
tendency to do better on covering by
recent sellers and some fresh buying
for long account.
JUST A "LITTLE MITE DEAF"
Held Corpse 35 Months.
Chickasha.—After being held 35
months awaiting identification, the
victim of the Frisco box car murder
was buried. The body of -he young
man was found at this i^ace in a bo?
car, just arrived from Oklahoma City.
The body being warm when found,
justified the belief that the murder
had been committed en route. The
car showed signs ot' a terrible strug-
gle. After being killed, both ears of
the victim were cut off. Since the
body has been held by the local un-
dertakers, it is estimated 15,000 peo-
ple have viewed it. Fathers, mothers,
sisters, brothers and sweethearts
have traveled long distances to see
the remains, with the hope of identi
fying a missing loved one. Several
times it was thought that the body
had been identified, but when the
person came no one claimed to know
the identity of the corpse. The body
was buried in a pauper's grave.

of near Chandler, received third prize
on winter wheat at the Omaha corn
exposition in 1909. lie has received

witner wheat last year, planted the
same soil in corn, thus growing two
crops in one year.

Haskell Case Must Come to Trial.
Washington, D. —The indictments
against Governor C. N, Haskell of
Oklahoma, in the so-called town lot
Indian land cases, will be pressed by
the department of justice, according
to a decision reached by Attorney Gen-
eral Wickersham, after a conference
with President Taft. It is the plan of
the department to have a jury pass on
the matter early in June.
Senators Owen and Gore and con-
gressmen from Oklahoma recently re-
quested the president to select some
disinterested third party of unques-
tioned standing in the country to in-
vestigate the cases in Oklahoma from
an impartial standpoint and determ-
ine whether there was sufficient
ground to continue the prosecution or
not.
The senators and representatives
expressed no opinion to the president
as to the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused governor. It was simply sug-
gested that as the prosecution hau
been linked in the minds of many per-
sons with the political turmoil ot two
years' work, there should be an in-
vestigation.
Attorney General Wickersham has
taken the ground that as the prosecu-
tions began under a former adminis-
tration, the only thing to do was to
have a jury of Oklahoma citizens pass
on a typical case at the earliest possi-
ble moment. The delay in bringing
the cases to trial has been aonther
source of complaint. The prosecute?:
will be continued under S. R. Rush,
special assistant to the attorney gen-
eral.
Circumstantial Evidence That Emma
Salter Needed Some Artificial
Aid in Hearing.
"You know how Emma Salter used
to say she was a mite deaf, but when
she was real deaf she'd buy her some
kind of a contrivance so's to make it
easy for her friends," said Mrs. Jen-
nings to her daughter; and the young
woman nodded, forbearing to remind
her mother that the span of her recol-
tions was not precisely the duplicate
of the old lady's.
"She never bought one, and she
never will, now," said Mrs. Jennings,
who had an exhausted air.
"1 hollered to her all the way out to
the Light, and all the way back; and
while we were visitin* Mis' Gorham
the sunset gun sounded and made a
great noise.
"I thought sure she'd hear that, and
I didn't suspicion how she'd hear It till
Bert Gorham come into the room a
second after.
" 'You've grown considerable heavi-
er'n you were, Bert,' Emma said to
him. 'I heard you coming up the stairs
plain as day!'"—Youth's Companion.
Importation of Leeches.
Leeches are enumerated by the bu-
reau of statistics under its general
head of animals imported, the total
value of the imports of this species
in 1908 having been $5,341; in 1907,
$6,922; in 1906, $4,494; in 1905, $3,862;
in 1904, $3,589; in 1903, $3,240, and in
1902, $2,412—the commerce in leeches
being thus of a growing character.
The total value of the leeches im-
ported into the United States in the
decade ending with 1908, is about $40,-
000. # Leeches are imported free of
duty. Snails were at one time enu-
merated as an article of importation,
the records from 1894 to 1898 showing
snails imported to the extent of about
$5,000; but the snail trade so dwin-
dled, showing only $24 of imports in
1898, that the bureau discontinued Its
statements of this article.
Doctor Charged With Killing Man.
Nowata.—Dr. Witzel of this city is
being held under a bond of $2,000
bond charged with causing the death
of Dr. W. W. Wingel, who died sud-
denly. According to the best of au-
thority Dr. Witzel administered a hy-
podermic to the doctor a few minutes
before he. died. He claimed that it
was harmless, but a sample has been
sent to the state chemist for analysis.
Big Indian Pow-Wow Postponed.
Muskogee.—The first great national
Indian conference ever held in Amer-
ica, which was to have taken place in
Muskogee during the last week in
June with a big powwow on July 4,
was postponed until in October in or-
der to allow more time to make prep-
arations and insure colder weather.
