YII.Ii D. SPYRES.
It Is about time for the gas meter to
take a vacation.
News from tho seat of the Crazy
Snake war contains the thrilling story
of how one Lee Bateman was wound-
ed by having his face scratched by a
falling limb shot off a tree by a bul-
let from one of Crazy Snake's band.
If the present city council has com-
mitted one unpardonable sin It is in
permitting the hntae methods of con-
ducting the business Of the Water
sj-Etem. We have ona of the best
water systems in the Southwest and
it is run at a shameful loss. It 4s hop-
ed the incoming citr administration
will do better.
BUILD A VIADUCT.
R is n fact that the southwest part
of town is growing more than any
other part of town? If it is so can
any one tell why?
Yes any one ought to tell why; It
is because the business part of town
and the schools are in the south and
west part of town and can be reach-
ed by the people without crossing the
railroads.
That is the main reason why this
part of town out growea any other
part. The fact of having to cross the
railroad to get to the business part of
town and to the schools keeps many
people from buying or building on the
north and east part of the town.
How Is this difficulty to be met by
providing a safe way to cross the rail-
roads; Let us ask the Frisco Railway
company to put up the frame work
tor a viaduct or part of the cost of
the frame work and then let the
town complete it.
The Chieftain would make this state
ment that the value of every lot on
the north side would be Increased
l.'i.OO if a safe crossing was provided
over the railroad.
We wouid suggest that an effort be
made to get each lot owner to pay so
much per lot and raise a fund to se-
cure a viaduct.
Have the Commercial club take up
this matter with the Frisco Railway
company and also with the lot own-
ers on both side of the railroad and
with a good committee to push this
matter we would soon have a sufe
crossing and house building on the
north side as well as on the south
side.
A Passion for Old Hats.
The group of islands know n us the
Nieohais about one hundred and fifty
miles south of the Andaman has
been but Utile explored though the
manners and customs of the Inhab-
itants offer very Interesting peculiari
ties to the ethnologist. One of the
most noticeable of these Is the passion
for old hats. Young and old chief
and subject alike endeavor to outvie
one another In the singularity of
shape no less than iu the number of
old hats they can ucquiie during their
lifetime. On a line morning at the
Nicobars it is no unusual thing to see
the surface of the ocean in the vi-
cinity of the Islands dolled over with
canoes iu each of which the noble
savage wit li nothing on but the con-
ventional slip of cloth and a tall white
hat with a black band may be watched
catching fish for his daily meal. Second-hand
hats are in most request
new ones being looked upon with sus-
picion and disfavor. Wide World

THE REIGN OF JESUS OF
NAZARETH.
In predic ting the total obscration of
the memory of Jesus of Nazareth in
a billion years from this time the pro
fessor of the philosophy of religion at
the University of Chicago takes re-
fuge behind a very ample margin
against the verification or the refuta-
tion of his prophecy. One would
scarcely have expected a forecast of
that character from an Institution of
learning under tho especial patronage
of so godly a man as John I). Rocke
feller. Still almost any kind of a
"bet" goes at this great academic
museum.
Humanity it Is true is variable in
its Impulses and beliefs and a billion
years even as time flies in this world
is quite an extended period. Hut
somehow the doctrines and princip-
les of Jesus and the Influence of His
personality in the world seem to be
extraordinary well adapted to exercise
and usage. They are vastly more
ital and essential to humanity today
than they were 1900 years ago. If
they were to reveal within the nxt
billion years a power of extension
and development at all proportionate
to that which they havo shown within
the last twenty centuries Jesus at
tho end of the period fixed by the Chi
cago professor for tho elimination of
Christianity would be the all absorb
ing entity on the globe. It is believed
at least that the world will continue
to pin its faith to the prophecy voic-
ed in the old hymn:
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore
shore
Till moons shall wax and wane
more.
Sicily's Wheat and Fruits.
Sicily was the 'granary of Rome" In
former days. Wheat grows to an enor-
mous helKht and the ears seldom con-
tain les than 00 grains. The rice is
the finest on earth. I buy it at ten
cents a pound to make that famous
dish "riso el hulerro e fromaglo."
No oilier rice answers the purpose.
The most bountiful crops of Ger-
many and France of England and
Austi iu-1 lungary present to the Sicil-
ian the image of sterility. A Sicilian
w atei melon is a dream. It was the
original nectar of the gods. No Geor-
gia rattlesnake variety is in its class.
Indian figs and aloes are wonderful
the former serving as food for the
poor. The ponii granale reaches its
highe.-t perfection along the southern
cuu:i. and is shipped to all parts of
the world under the name of "punica."

Worthily Won Record.
Brig. Gen. George II. Torney the
new surgeon general of the army is
a Paltimorean by birth the Sun of
that city says of him: "He achieved
his principal distinction perhaps in
tho work of sanitation following the
San Francisco earthquake and fire ca
lamity In April 190C. He was then
In command of the hospital at the
Presidio and all the details of the
army's medical relief work fell to him
The sanitary conditions of San Fran
Cisco were made safe within one week
after the disaster. This work won
for the new surgeon general enthusi
aslic public praise from the mayor of
bun trancisco. the governor of the
stale the officials of the citizens' re
lief committee the Red Cross author
iitles Surgeon Gen. O'Reilly and even
secretary of War Taft. Mr. Taft lias
borne this record in his memory ever
since.
An Absurd Expression.
Dr. W. J. Gai ned writes to the Lon
uon bnuirday Review protesting
against the phrase "Hy the skin of my
teeth' as recently used bv a well
known court official In one of his pub
lic addresses. Dr. Garnett points out
that "these words so generally used
are not only a misquotation but a per
version of the meaning conveyed in
the poem by the true text. Reference
to the Hook of Job 19:20 will show
the protagonist as made to say not
T am escaped by the skin of wy teeth'
but 'with the skin meaning not 'I
have escaped with great difficulty' but
'destitute of everything I possessed
Just as the teeth are destitute of
skin.'" Dr. Garnett concludes: -The
latter Is appropriate and forcible the
former an absurd metaphor and it is
high time it were relegated to the
same category as 'creating a Franken
stein' and similar corrupt texts."

RUSSIAN SOLDIERS ACCUSED
OF ARMED CONSPIRACY.
Ry Associated Press.
St. Petersburg Mar. 01. Seventy
men including seven army omcers
were arrested here today charged with
conslpiracy to start an uprising in
Southern Russia. A large number of
rifles and supplies of amunition were
captured.
Famous Women Linguist.
Marteina Kramers of Rotterdam ranks
among the first of women linguists.
She can read and speak 13 languages
and there are few men in the world
who can equal that record. Besides
she has sufficient knowledge of seven
(titer languages to converse In them
and she has planned to add a new lan.
guage to her list every six months for
several years. Miss Kramers also
ranks as one of the most influential
suffragettes In Europe. She is editor
of Jus Suffragil the official organ of
the International Woman Suffrage Al-
liance which has several branches (n
this country. Miss Kramers is one of
the most optimistic of the workers.
She believes that wilhiin ten years
America and all the countries in Eu-
rope will extend suffrage to women on
equality with men.
STRAY SHOTS FROM
THE STATE CAPITAL.
Guthrie Okla. Mar. 31. W. II. An
thony the newly appointed private
secretary to the governor assumed
the duties of his position today.
The criminal court of appeals in
still engaged in tho interpretation of
the liquor laws. A new proposition
passed upon today was occasioned by
an appeal from Pittsburgh county
herein a jury found a defendant
guiity of violating the liquor laws and
gave a verbal verdict to that effect.
The sealed verdict was not opened
for nine days and then it was found
to be a verdict of not guilty. The
Jury was brought into court and testi-
fied that the verdict of guiity was the
one intended to be rendered but that
the other verdict was accidentally
sealed up. The court held that the
sealed verdict was the one that gov-
erned and that a jury once dismissed
could not bo re-convened.
Loans were made during the week
ending March 27 by state school land
commission amounting to 31050 on
Oklahoma farming lands.
Sensing the Unlocked Door.
"When I come home in the early
morning" he said "I have to get my
key ready for the outside door. If It
Is cold this is a bother. Therefore I
wait until I can get a look at the door.
The hallboy sometimes leaves it un-
locked. I have learned to tell whether
the door is open without trying the
handle.
"It Is an odd thing too that after
practicing it a time I now can tell the
moment I look at the door whether or
not It is unlocked. The moment I get
in front of the apartment house 1 look
in through the glass of the vestibule
and I feel instinctively whether I
shall have to get out my key or not.
It Is a new sort of training. I don't
know any one else who tries it."
Ruined Fire Alarm System.
For many years the residents of
Murray Ky. were notified of fire
within the confines of their town by
the discharging of guns and this
rather novel system proved so satis-
factory that It was still In vogue up
to within a few mouths ago. Then
however came the night rider disturb-
ances and the discharge of guns be-
came so frequent and misleading thatf
in a number of instances the alarms
for fire were disregarded. The mayor
found It necessary to Issue a circular
changing the alarm system from gun
firing to the ringing of bells and blow-
ing of whistles.
Orderly Wine Drinkers.
"They let us play cards in our wine
room" said the New York win mer-
chant. "It is not against the law. It
would be if we sold whiskies but
not wine. The reason? Why one man
out of ten gets ugly and quarrelsome
when he drinks whisky but no man
who drinks .. tne shows his true na-
ture In the same way. If these men
over there at that table were drink-
ing whisky Instead of fine Rhine wine
there would be a fight every tea min-
utes with the cops called in."
Substitute for Small Change.
A souvenir of the civil war came
into the hands of a delicatessen mer-
chant in New York a few clays ago
which showed how scarce small
change must have been lu those days.
It was a green three-cent postage
stamp encased In a thin metal frame
the size of an old copper cent. The
face of the stamp was protected by
a disk of mica. On the reverse side
the improvised coin was stamped
"Good for three cents." This queer
substitute for money was given along
with other small change by a woman
who said it was the last of a number
of similar pieces which she had owned
for many years and the man who
took the combination stamp mica and
tin for three cents In speaking of it
said: "The woman looked as if she
was prosperous once and was sorry to
give up the piece."

China was extreme!) vain n' her good
looks. Nine ladies of the imperial
suite were employed every morning
to "make up" the empress. Her
majesty was rouged regularly every
morning until her cheeks flamed deli
cately against the creamy composi
tion with which the rest of her face
had been treated. The lips were
carmlned and a stubborn growth of
hair on tho chin and upper lip was
obliterated by the application of paint.
A slightly double chin caused her
much trouble but she found con
solation in the size of her feet which
although they were never hound in the
peculiar Chinese fashion were the
envy of all ladies who were privileged

Patronize State Banks
There are two reasons why Oklahomans should do business
with State Banks.
FIRST Because ajland owner can use his land as a basis of security and
back his money wants with a low rate of interest.
SECOND Because the Oklahoma laws protect the depositor by a guarantee
which husbands his- money while on deposit and makes the banks
contribute to a fund out of which in case of failure he is to be paid.
