DEAO MAN IS
IDENTIFIED AS
HARRY JOKES
Mrs. Lilly Stevens arrived in Shaw-
nee Friday evening from Konawa and
at once went to th< Fleming & Brown
morgue, where she identified one of
the d«"ad bodies of the men killed on
the Katy truck Thursday night as
that of Harry Jones of Rockdale, Tex,
Bert Hammon, a brother-in-law of
Jones, and also a brother of Mrs.
Stevens, arrived from Kingston this
morning and he also identified the
body at once. The identity of the
other is still unknown.
Mr. Hammon has ordered the body
of his brother-in-law shipped to King
ston for burial.
Both of the bodies were put in as
good condition as possible Friday, the
different parts being assembled so as
to have fairly good resemblance to
human forms. They were viewed by
hundreds of the curious during the
afternoon and evening.

CONVENTION IN OKLAHOMA CITY
OCTOBER 22 TO PROMOTE
COLONIZATION.
Guthrie, Okla., Aug. 14.—Arrange-
ments are completed for a convention
here on October 22 to perfect a state
organization to promote the coloniza-
tion of Americas negroes In Africa
under the auspices of the Abraham
Lincoln African Aid and Colonization
society, recently incoriwrated here
by Captain N. B, Baston of Stillwater
and other white citizens of Oklahoma.
On October 28 the negroes of Okla.
homa will hold a stale meeting in Sa-
pulpa to learn how many desire to
accompany the African colonists. A
colony has been organized at Gana,
Ark., composed of several hundred ne-
groes, who desire to know when the
first shipment to Africa will be made,
and another colony of 100 negroes in
southern Oklahoma has also been or-
ganized. Such organizations are of-
fering to pay their transportation ex-
penses.
Letters from Kentucky, Georgia,
Missouri and other states indicate
that colonies are being organized. A
former Oklahoma negro, who for
twelve years lived at Alberta, British
East Africa, is aiding in the work.
It is cited that 117 years ago three
barbers of Ixindon organized a sim
ilar colonization scheme and trans-
ferred all of the negro residents of
Great Britain to Africa.

WINDOW LIBRARY.
A Hall Btdroom Fitted Up as a Cosy
Study.
A bachelor maid who is fond of
books has fitted up a vory satisfactory
little library in her hall bedroom. She
lives in a wide, old fashioned boarding
house, and the one window In the bed
room, which faces southwest, has a
very deep recess and is curtained by
a dark buff shade. She had three
stout boards cut to tit this window and
covered them with inexpensive chintz
in a bright but serviceable pattern
One board was laid upon the floor In
the window recess, and the other two
were fastened on screw held brackets
at the proper height to make the se<
ond shelf and the top of the window
bookcase. A rod running across the
recess directly under the uppermost
board held a curtain—suspended on up
holster.v rings of the same chintz as
that covering the boards. This curtain
hid the books from dust and from th«
gaze of any one entering the rooms
The two deep shelves accommodated
the small library, including the refer
ence books of the bachelor maid. On
top of the improvised bookcase were
set a lap writing pad, box of paper,
inkstaud. pen tray, stamp box and a
small glass Jar holding [tens, pencils
and erasing knife. Against the side of
the window frame was fastened with
small brass headed nails one of the
spiral card and letter racks made of
silver wire, procurable for about 10
cents. The rack was trimmed with
bows to match the chintz, and, with a
small pocket dictionary and morocco
covered address book hanging from its
lowest ring by baby ribbon of the same
shade, it was not only useful, but orna
mental.
On the opposite side of the window
recess an artistic advertising calendar
was suspended.
The buff window shade was supple-
mented by a bonne femme curtain of
silkateen harmonizing with the color
scheme of the shelves and chintz and
Insuring privacy when the bachelor
maid was making use of her window
library.
FIRELESS COOKING.
Do Not Leave Things In the Box Too
Long Nor Put Them In Too Soon.
In flreless cooking there are certain
things to be remembered by the Inex-
perienced cook one Is that if a dish
Is left indefinitely in the cooker it will
sour. Soups, stews, vegetables and
such things must be removed after
twenty four hours, and less in hot
weather.
Another thing: Is that soine foods re
quire a longer time on the fire before
being put In the cooker than others
do. According to Harper's Bazar,
cereals may take only ten minutes and
tough meat half an hour. It Is best
to find out something about the length
of time the different things require be-
fore beginning to use the cooker
Generally speaking, all Indigestible
things take longer than the rest. Oat-
meal. beef stew, coived beef and beans
need more time than steamed pud-
dings. rice and chicken.
A third thing to remember is this:
Everything that takes a very long
time to cook is Improved and the proc-
ess hastem>d if. when the time is half
up and the food cooled, the pail is
removed and re boated without opening
It and put ba< k again.
In all cooking, also, you must be care-
ful not to uncover the pall with the
food In it before putting it in the box.
It must be kept tightly covered from
the time it Is put on the fire or the
steam will escape and the meat or
soup cool so that it cannot cook Put
everything in as quickly as possible
and cover at once.
Novel Kindergarten Idea.
A clever idea for women who have
small children to be taken care of was
suggested recently by a contributor to
Harper's Bazar. There were six wom-
en lu a suburban neighborhood, all of
whom had one or more small tots, all
under eight years of ago. Nursemaids
were scarce and incompetent, and It
occurred to one of the women that by
combining their efforts they could ar
rive at a plan helpful to all. There
were fifteen small children in all to be
amused aud looked after and kept off
the street. Kach mother took one aft
emoon when she invited all the chll
dren to her house. They came at 2
and stayed until dark. In the middle
of the afternoon they had a little
luncheon, each child bringing the food
It was to eat. so that the diet arrange-
ments of the different families might
not be interfered with. The hostess to
these tiny guests played with them,
overlooked their play and took care of
them generally, while the other moth
ers were left fret* to enjoy an after
noon's shopping, or a needed rest, or
a club meeting, or any other business
or diversion which they might elect.
These particular six mothers each
took one afternoon in the week, but a
league of a greater or less number of
women could arrange the division of
time to suit themselves.
International Suffrage Hag.
The International Suffrage all'ance
recently adopted a standard ting of
white and gold, the suffrage colors
On a white ground, between two
golden stripes, are the words "Jus Suf
fragil" ("The Right of Suffrage"). Per
mission Is given to any country to
make the slight adaptation of having
these words In its native language, if
It prefers. Instead of in the Latin.
Single Pioce Pillowshams.
The long sham, whether made of
haudken hlefs ami put together with
bands of Insertion or of n single oolong
piece of linen, are less trouble to keep
In position on the pillows than the old
fashion^ shams lu two pieces.
SUMMER FRILLS.
How to Keep the Summer Wardrobe
Fresh and Dainty.
Lingerie waists should be pressed
when they are mussed and not soiled,
but If they are stained with persplra
tlon, be It ever so little, do uot press
them. Wash them at once, aud If they
are delicate or old sew them up in an
old pillowslip while you are doing it.
Clean your white shoe* with gaso
line, then when it has wholly evap
orated wash them in peroxide of hy-
drogen and set In the sun to dry.
If you get grass stains on any cotton
or linen fabric rub it with black mo-
lasses. then wash in the regular way.
If you have a lot of Irish lace Jabots
i r collars, after they are washed pick
out each figure and plcot with a fine
crochet hook. That's what the profes
sionals do.
Chamois gloves may be washed in a
lukewarm lather of white soapsuds.
Wash through soapy water twice, pat
and squeeze, but do not wring hard;
rinse well in lukewarm water, wrap
In a heavy towel until most of the
water is out. then hang up to dry. Do
uot wring or squeeze the water out.
When they are dry rub between the
hands until they are soft and pliable,
stretch with the glove stretcher, and
they will Im* like new.
If you have dropped grease on a
white dress and there is no cleaning
stuff at hand rub tho spot with talcum
powder, brush out. rub the powder In
•Igain and leave the spot overnight,
liberally covered with talcum. It will
take It almost all out.
Run a basting thread with long
stitches in your plaited jabots before
laundering. It will save a lot of trou
ble when they are ready for Ironing.
If your pink linen dress shows signs
« f fading boll It with a square of tur
key red calico and it will come out
like new.
Iron rust stains must be rubbed
with lemon and salt and held In the
steam of a rapidly boiling kettle. This
Is much quicker and better than the
old way of laying the spot in the sun
Most people know that one can touch
up faded artificial flowers with water
color paints or oil paints mixed with
gasoline, but pink flowers can Is*
touched up with rouge and look much
better than do cheeks painted with the
same stuff
Blue linen frocks should be put
through a dark blue water and have
a little bluing put into the starch to
keep them looking unfarled. All colored
clothing should be dried in the shade
Silk and lisle gloves wash readily in
lukewarm suds made of good whit«-
soap Thev should he well rinsed
squeezed in a towel and hung up to
dry.
A soiled chiffon v« ll or scarf may be
laundered in exactly the same way as
the gloves, taking care not to wring
or squeeze It. The dirt must be gently
patted out. While still wet it must be
pinned in Its proper shape on a table
or bed. and after it is dry the edge
may be pressed with a warm Iron.
If one will carefully darn the toes
and heels of the thin lisle and silk
stockings with a fine silk thread be-
fore wearing they will wear much
longer. The stitches must be taken
only up and down In parallel rows,
not across.
HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES.
White jH'pper will be found prefer-
able to black In seasoning chicken
soup.
For cleaning down stairs a stiff
plain brush is better than a whisk
broom.
A few chopped almonds added to a
cuktard or bread pudding will greatly
Improve Its flavor.
A cereal pan Is much more easily
« leuned if enid water is allowed to
run in it as soon as the cereal Is re-
moved. Mot water hardens the mix
ture.
Canvas shoes may be cleaned with
soap and' water if one works quickly,
so that the moisture does not pene-
trate the canvas. Make a thick lather
with pure white soap and warm wa
ter.
To clean while marble, wash It thor
oughly with soap and water, then
brush it over well, especially in the
crevices, with whiting mixed with a
little blue as used for ceilings. Allow
It to dry thoroughly and then polish
with a clean, dry cloth.
To clean suede gloves put the gloves
on •trees" or on your hands and rub
them well with fine oatmeal, which
should finally he brushed off with a
soft nailbrush \uy obstinate stall
may Ih removed with Ismzine ap
plied on a piece of clean flannel.
If you find the hardwood floor Is
sticky after being treated with the
usual preparation of boiled oil and
turpentine, get a pall of strong cider
vinegar, wring a cloth out of this, and
wipe the floor with the strong acid.
It will Improve It In a short t'me.
The Pesky Fly.
The pesk\ tlv now makes you swear
by crawling, crawling everywhere
says an exchange He wipes his feet
upon the hroad and creeps about your
hairless head. Within the milk In
takes a bath and In the butter makes
a path, and then he angers Mary Jane
by specking up the window pane, am*!
mamma yells and baby squirms be-
cause he leaves those awful germs.
Oct out the sticky paper, quick, and
make him goshamighty sick!
Alcohol For Veils.
•me persons keep their veils in con
ditlou by dipping them in alcohol sev
eral times and then hanging up In
doors to dry. The nlxihol gives the
veil a desirable stiffness, which wil1
nld to its days of usefulness.
Guthrie, okla., Aug. 14.—Judge
Carruthers of Okemah, sitting as spe-
cial judge at Chandler, has entered
a nunc pro tunc oraer, sentencing
Lydia Howland to serve a life sen-
tence in the penitentiary for the mur-
der of her child at Chandler. Mrs.
Howland has served five years, but
Ira N. Terrill recently began habeas
corpus proceedings to secure her re-
lease, as the sentence had never been
entered on the permanent dockets of
the Lincoln county court. The mln-
uteti and pencil notes by Judge Bur-
fore, the trial judge, showod the sen-
tence had been for life. Court Clerk
Dan Norton also testified to this ef-
fect.

the company was not in such busi-

it could be required to establish an
