Brief services were held at the
family residence on Monday even
ing and at 9:25 the same evening
the remains, accompanied by the
bereaved husband and other rela-
tives, was taken to the old home
at Severy, Kansas, for interment.
Thus, once again has been de-
monstrated the truth that no
man knoweth the hour when the
reaper cometh. The young are
taken and the old are left. Life
and the joys of motherhood were
all before the deceased, but a
greater life has been opened to
her.
The deceased leaves husband,
the little child, the aged father
and several sisters to feel her
loss but with pleasant memories.
To the husband and all goes
the sincere sympathy of a large
number of friends, who can but
wish that comfort may be given
them in this the greatest loss that
can come to man.

people. In fact, it „ furnishes
practically no service to Kansas

trouble by having the Kansas

stop here, which they do not do
under the new arrangements.

says that he has a plentiful sup-

scarce in Grady county. None

Under the provisions of the
first capitol bill that was passed,
plans for building were to be
approved by the legislature, but
this was changed in the second
bill, in which plans were made
subject to the approval of the
governor.
"I have formed no definite ide
of the kind of a structure I would
person?My prefer,'' said Govern-
or Cruce, "but I would like a
building sufficiently large to
tafeaajare of all of the state offic-
es comfortably. In appearance it
should be in keeping with what
the citizens of Oklahoma City
demand and are entitled too."
Up to Wednesday evening
Governor Cruce had heard noth-
ing from Dr. Leo Bennett, the
republican member of the capitol
commission, who was to have met
here with the other members on
Tuesday for the purpose of form-
ulating and submitting their joint
letter of resignation.

Washington, June 24.—It be-
came known at the capitol today
that President Taft, talking over
the long distance telephone from
Providence last night, repeated
to several senators his determin-
ation to veto the Canadian reci-
procity bill in case and amend-
ment is added to it.
In a fight resulting from a
quarrel over working a cotton
crop, Paris West, 23, stabbed his
landlord, John Barnes, 45, eight
times with a pocketknife late on
Wednesday evening, nine miles
west of Tecumseh, severing a
vein above the heart and Barnes
died in a few minutes though he
stood on his feet after being stab-
bed until he dropped dead.West
was arrested at the home of a
neighbor. Both were married.
The killing was witnessed by a
brother of West, and the thirteen-
year-old son of Barnes. The kill-
ing took place in a iefld near
their home.

*on to take two of the monkey*
at Hyde park for the purpose of
trying out the scheme.
The idea of using monkeys as
cotton pickers was suggested to
the French farmers by the antics
of a pet monkey that was earned
into a cotton field by a boy.
The little animal, after frisk-
ing around for a while and ap'
pcariug very much interested in
watching the negroes at work
picking cotton, began of its own
accord to snatch cotton bolls
from the plants and was soon
making increditable speed in
the picking, and for the hour or
two it worked, packed more cot-
ton than any negro in the field
for the same amount of time.
Animal trainers find it not
difficult to train monkeys to do
all kinds of tricks and manual
labor, and if the idea of the
French farmers in Fulton county
and Mr. Henson in Muskogee
county *works out all right, by
utilizing monkey labor the cost
of their cotton harvesting will
be infinitely less for them than
with human labor.
Mr. Henson declares that if
the two Hyde park monkeys can
be taught to pick cotton readily,
he will import a colony of the lit-
tle beasts and open training quar-
ters on his farm.
