C'APT. FCKIIEE FOR COUNTY
WEIGHER.
J. \\. JOHNSON HAS A HIGH ROL
1EH WHILE HIS WAD
LASTED.
Kansas City, Mo., July 25.—Requisi
tion papers were issued by the prose-
cuting attorney Saturday on the gov-
ernor of Oklahoma for the return to
this city of J. W. Johnson, who is in
jail at Oklahoma City, and is wanted
for obtaining money by f^lijo preten-
ses, May 8, last. The money is alleg-
ed to have been obtained by means of
a bogus check on an Oklahoma bank
issued by Johnson. It is said that
Johnson belongs to a good family in
Oklahoma and has a brother who is
a banker in Chickasha, Okla.
To Whom It May Concern:
This is to certify that for more
than 30 years 1 have been intimately
acquainted with Capt. H. B. Furbee
of Tecumseh, and during all these
years he has conducted himself as
a christian gentleman. He has mer
ited the esteem and confidence of
thosf that have known him, and I *
take pleasure In recommending him
to the confidence of those that may
not know him as I do; and I am
sure that auy trust placed in his
hands will be honestly and faithfully
carried out to the best of his never
failing ability.
Respectfully yours,
J. R. HENSON,
Pastor M. E. Church,
Quanah, Texas.
Oklahoma City, July 25.—In Okla-
homa City, J. W. Johnson is known
as the "Minco Wid," and at one time
set the mark for the spendthrifts of
state. He inherited $30,000 at Minco
and came to Olahoma Cityk to part
with his cash. He did so, taking but
a few1 months' time to go through
with the fortune. Automobiles and
chorus girls were said to have used
a large part of the inheritance. Fol-
lowing the high times, Johnson got
in trouble on alleged bad paper, but
assistance from his family kept him
out of custody at first. He was ar-
rested about two months ago on sev-
eral charges of obtaining money un-
der false pretenses, and has since
been in jail.
It is not believed the county au-
thorities will turn him over to the
Kansas City officers until after he has
answered the accusations here.

A certain maga-
zine will be read
this month by
more than 1,000,000
American men
and women
Some will read it because they would not miss
"Chantecler—Act II" (Rostand's wonderful drama,
' in English) for ten times the cost.
Others will read it for the thrilling chapter of
Peary's Own Story—an instalment that is enjoyable
and convincing without reference to preceding
chapters. This instalment PROVES ■ PEARY
GOT THERE. Most Americans will want to
read this if only to be fair to a great man.
Thousands of men will read in it a most vivid and
dramatic chapttt in Russell's "Millionaire Mill"
series—the remarkable history of the Southern
Pacific Railroad. The country is torn asunder over
the railroad problem.
Women in every nook and comer of the United
States will buy it because of Rheta Childe Dorr's
enlightening article about giving a fighting chance
to defective children in schools and elsewhere.
Fiction lovers will buy it because they will
revel in its wealth of txtra fin* stories-
stories for every age and every taste—in-
cluding "The Stolen Code" by Arthur
Stringer—the first of "The Adventures of
nn Insomniac"; "His Wife and His
Work," a beautiful love story by Rupert
Hughes; "The Watchdog" by P. G. Wode-
house; "Excess Baggage," a rousing base-
ball story by Bruce Farsoo and several
more.
The magazine that all these good people
will read is

John W. Barr and asked about his
shortage it is said that the accused
man was cool. He told the president
hat he thought he had about used
up the surplus fund of the bank.
When Ropke was first placed under
arreBt it was feared that the bank
might have to close it doors when the
truth of the shortage leaked out The
depositors of the institution stood by
the bank in time of trouble and many
large deposits were sent to the bank.
The Bell Telephone Company sent
$100,000 This was the largest deposit
that was made.
The total stock of the rejuvenated
bank will be $,1000,000.00, which is
double the amount of the former cap-
ital stock. Had it not been that the
Fidelity was the oldest and one of
the strongest banks in the state it
would have had to close its doors
A report of the experts was heard
today and President John W. Barr
Jr., stated that the bank would be
able to stand the strain and would be
in good shape in a short time. |
No One to Resign.
Following the arrest of Ropke it
was rumored that several of the offi-
cials of the bank would be asked to
resign when the tockholders meet in
August, but this has been repudiated
by many of the stockholders, but It is
said there will be many changes at
the coming meeting.
Ropke is still in jail waiting his
trial in October, when he is to be
taken before the grand jury for in-
dictment. He has not yet tried to get
surety of the $2o,000 bond, under
which he is being held, and it is be-
lieved that he will not even try to
get a lawyer to defend him, as the
Fidelity Trust and Commonwealth
have made out such a strong case
against him.
It was also rumored that Ropke
had saved several hundred thousand
dollars out of his transactions in
Wall street and that he was biding
his time to turn over the amount to
the bank on the condition tihat he is
not to be prosecuted, but this Is not
believed by the officials of the bank
Clearly Unprejudiced.
The attorney for I lie proq^cution was

"Mr. Utiles," he said, "you say you

"No, sir," responded the possible
Juror. "I never believe nothin' I see

never seen a hill bat looked at
me with grave content.
Good-naturedly and oheerfully, which-
ever way I went;
Though It were bleak end bare and
brown. It shouldered to the eky
And looked at me In quiet peace when
X went elowly by;
But any bulldln*, be It house, or tem-
pled place or mart.
Will face a man with chilli n* brews
that «et him far apart
I*re never eeen a country road that
did not have the time
Te loaf beside the foregte where the
blossomed vines would climb,
To coax me softly, lastly, to rest with
It awhile
And see the eomfort It could find In
creeping mile on mile;
But city streets—they blare at jrou
and will not let you stays
They hustle you unceasingly and drive
your dreams away.
Tve never seen the sky that shields
th countryside at nlfht—
An ebon velvet drapery looped up
with gems of llght^-
That did not seem to bend to me all
frlendlywlse, and bless
And pour a balm of comfort ea my
heart In Its distress;
But when the city has its night the
glare beats In your eye
And look whatever way yen win you
eannot see the sky.
rve never seen a country road, er
brook, or hill, or tree.
That did not have a kindly word to
speak or sing to me;
They never crowd us to ene side, they
never sneer nor frown.
Nor view us ■tranicerwise as do the
streets and walls ef town.
And someUmes I think that this ssay
be the hidden plan
To show us how much better God
could make the world than man.
A REAL LUXURY?
IT IS IT TO ((H UT TO DECIDE
THIS EXTREMELY MODERN
QUESTION FOR A Sl'lT.
i
Oklahoma City, July 25.—Is an au-
tomobile a family vehicle?
Attorneys for J. H. Garp insist that
it is and, therefore, exempt from
execution for debt, while attorneys
for Sheriff Harvey Garrison maintain
that it is a luxury and an such not
exempt from official execution.
Judge George W. Clark, before
whom the question was submitted on
demurrer in the case of Earp against
Garrison to recover the machine, re-
fuses to make a decision—that is, un-
til he can enter into the law, the au-
thorities and the logic of the exceed-
ingly modern question.
According to the petition of Earp,
Sheriff Garrison, following the in-
structions of the county court, levied
under execution upon certain proper-
ty owned by Earp as per Judgment.
Among the property list, was a Ca-
dillac automobile, valued at $1200.
The machine looked like good chat-
tel to Garrison and he refused to turn
it over to Earp when that petitioner
declared that it was his family vehi-
cle and as such the exemption mado
it immune from confiscation.

striking exemplification of tlie
whirligig of fortune la that while at
one time the wicked city folk sold gold
bricks and green goods (o the honeat
oountryman, now the honest counter*
man sells cantaloupes to the wicked
dty folk.
The cantaloupe la a small, roand,
wrinkled vegetable, and it la a ct
between a Dead Sea apple and a
gourd, as a general thing.
Early in the summer It la brought
Into the markets. At that time It ex-
hales a perfume that is sweeter thaa
blend of old-fashioned roeea and
early violets. Because It coats so
much to perfume the cantaloupe thua,
the price is all the way from 60 oants
to T5 cents each.
It Is estimated that enough money
la wasted annually la this oountry to
dig the canal across Panama. This
money Is wasted In Uquor and dgara.
If we would compile' statistics of the
money. thrown away cn cantaloupe#
we should find that with the added
■urn ve could double-deck the Panama
canal and have a sufficient sum left
to move all the Carnegie libraries to
Ita brink.
The conventional way of ■erring a
cantaloupe Is to cnt It In halves and
remove the loose works on the Inside.
While you are doing this the cant*
loupe sendB forth tantalizing, appetil-
ing flavors, and your lips begin to
twitch In expectancy and you wish hi
your heart that you had stolen into a
corner back of a billboard and eaten
the thing all by yourself. Neverthe-
less, you prepare It for eating, thea

fork or spoon. Once It U In your
mouth your soul sinks withla you and

ernment-lnspected packing-house of

By and by people will grow weary
of hunting for the north pole and «z-
plorlng parties will be organized te
seek a good cantaloupe.
