Washington, Aug lo—Tie tirst de-
finite eUoil ui the Democrats to se-
cure an agreement for an early vote
oi\ the laint bill failed in tile senate
Thursday wheu republicans served
notice that the consideration of the
measure would be continued indefi-
nitely. They denied the democratic
charges that they were filibustering,
but insisted that the tariff bill would
be debated fully and freely betore
they would consent to any agreemenl
for a final vote.
Leading senators ot both parties as
a result of the day's development
last*night predicted a session oi
congress that would run into Octo-
ber or iN'oveiuber.
Early in the day President Wilson
had made it known that he would
not approve ot any congresisonal re-
cess until the currency reform bill
had been disposed oi. This altitude
was endorsed by Democratic leaders
and those who had favored a recess
after the pasase of the tariff hill
apparently had* resigned themselves
tonight to a continuous session ot
congress.
Senator Simmons, as manager of
the tariif debate, made a formal re-
quest when the senate took up the
measure for an agreement to vote
August 2o. Republicans oi bolh the
regular and progresive elements ob-
jected.
Senator Gallinger, the republican
leader tried to draw the Democrats
into an announcement of whether
they intended to take up and pas3
the currency bill, hut the democra'-s
declined to commit themselves on
the subject.
Senator LaFollette and Bristo\
both oi whom have important amend-
ments and substitutes to offer to
various sections of the democrat'c
bill, declare they would consent to
no agreement for a vote until the ta.
iff measure had been discuss ed u-
detail and all necessary time given
for debate and attempts at amend
ment.
Tulsa, Okla., August 15.—Bessie
Kennedy, a young white woman who
formerly lived at the Central Hotel.
U charged with embezzlement in an
information filed against her in the

by J. A. Seekatz, a South Main St.,
t jeweler, who accuses her of appro
! priatlng to her own use a $300 dla-
! mond ring which was to be sold by
' her to another woman.

ring to her while she was stopping
i at the Central Hotel and instructs 1
^ her to show it to another woman, a
prospective purchaser. This was sev-
j eral days ago. Seekatz says he has
| not seen his agent or his jewelry
i since.
Officers as yet have been unable to
to locate the woman, "who is believed
to have disposed of the ring and left
town immediately. Notification that
| she is wanted here will be senU out
: by the sheriff's office.

I Muskogee, Okla., Aug. 15.—After
tramping for two days over the mouu
tains without food, Oran Trammell,
thivu year old boy. who wandered
away from a construction camp at
Woodstan, was found late Wednes-
day night bp James Papne, an old
l unter. Payne declined the reward
ot $500 offered by J. T. Trammell,
! the child's father.
Last Tuesday the Trammell child
I and Huby Thomson aged 4, wandered
| aw ay from the camp. Searching par-
ties found the little girl the next day,
six miles from home. She said tan
b'oy had tired and she had left him.
Payne trailed te boy over Eagle
| and Kiamichi mountains and came
j upon him fast asleep. The country
through which the children traveled
is infested with wolves and wild
cats.
'1 optku, Kans., Aug. 15.—A train of
■Z tak cars carrying 200.00J gallons oi
water left the lopeku jarus oi the
Hock Island lilies yesun.ay lur lior-
ton. Five days of the week this
train load of water from the Kuw
'river is rushed to Horton, oO miles
distant, for the purpose oi operat-
ing the boilers in the shops at tliat
i oint. The drouth suffered in the
' town supported by the itock Island
shops has given rise to the eld ru-
I in or that tne Rock Inland is eousid-
' trill's moving the repair (plant to
Topeka.
The Rock Island has been sending
this train of water to Uie shops ever
since the drouth opened up some
j months ago. No relief is in sigui j
j and the road at a considerable cost
j is finding It necessary to keep wa
I ter moving to their Kansas shop
i headquarters. For years the water ■
j situation at Horton has vexed the
I officials of the road. l_asl year with
additional wells and a promised wa
ter supply it was thought that the
problem was solved, but the road
has found it difficult to kee the lo
comotives in operation to say noth-
ing of the supply dvmandtd at tj<:
shops.
It has resulted in the hauling of
water from Topeka.
utfieials oi the Santa Fe ill lopcka
have found little encouragement in
their hunt for water. 1 lie company
at this time -s hauling water to six
points in Kansas. Water is being
houkd also in Guthrie and Purcell,
Oklahoma. All of this water is be ns
u. ed for locomotive purposes.
In Topeka the Santa l e is exper.
encing no trouble in finding wai* i
for the shops. The nev. wau;r wor
'system installed two y> ars ago is
1 lurnish'ng an in< thl
| to the needs of the company's Im-
plant in thi scity. N" urly two mini,
gallons of water a day is us?d in t
sjhops. The Santa Fe is in a positioi
to aid the city in case ashortage !.
imminent in Topeka.

KEEPING COOL PRISONER DIES
Have you noticed how different
the children are acting, how quick
and glad they are to do all the chores
infact you hardly have time to say
what you want, and the children are
only too glad to do it for you. There
is a reason of course, do you know
what it is? Dubinsky Bros., Stock
Company, will be here all next week,
that's the reason. They want to go
every night and they want you to
take them, so they are getting on the
good side of you tor next week.
However, they don't have to do much
I coaxing as the older children are
just as anxious to go as the young-
er ones. Next Monday night will be j
the opening night, the play will be
a dramatization of Bertha M. Clay's
greatest book "Thorns and Orange
i Blossoms' with that dainty pair you

Under the re-districting bill passed
I'J tho recent legislature Congress-
man fcScoil Ferris is now our repre-
sentative in Congress. Mr. Ferris is
au energetic worker for his consist-
tuenls and is in a position to render
them excellent service. Many El Re-
in people have received a letter from
i cngresman Ferris within the last
few days, asking what the people oi
tuis vicinity desired in the way ot
local legislation, and also requesting
their views on varous questons of
importance. The suggestion has
■ii en ma^le that the most important
lccal legislation that would benefit
i i Reno people would be the opening
o: the Fort Reno Military Reserva-
tion to settlement. This reservation
i on tains in the neighborhood of fif-
teen sections of good land, or about
8,300 acres. A settler on every eighty
acres of this tract would mean that
at least 120 new homes would be es-
tablished on the reservation. The
coming of these settlers would men
a great deal to 121 Reno in a business
way, besides furnishing one hund
red people with homes. Now If ev-
ery man In this city who has re-
I ceived a communication from Con-
| -i cssman Ferris will write him at
ocee stating that it hi desired that
the reservation be thrown open to j
settlement, it *-i very probable that
a bill will be introduced toward that
end. Do not put it off but write to-|
Uaj and tell Congressman Scott Fer- j
lis that El Reno people dusire the j
opening of the Fort Reservation, it j
will mean more trade for this city [
and more taxable property in Can
dian County.
Following is the letter sent out by
Congresman Feris:
My Dear Sir and Friend:—
As you are aware the legislature
r cently placed you and mo in the
same Congressional District. 1 aiu
extremely anxious to render you your
irii nds ,and tho new district the very
best possible service. In this con-
nection 1 will nevd your corporation
and help. I therefore hope 1 may
l e pardoned tor a iking you to write
! me your views and suggestions wn
i * [nance to tho following pending
legislation:
1. What local legislation, if any,
; is at this time needed in your couu-1
ty.
2. What rules, regulationes or di |
partmental rulings with reference to
Indian or public land matters, which
are now in vogue, should be modi-
fied or changed or eliminated?
3. How are the people pleased
with the new currency bill, whlca
makes ,it /possible for farmers to
borrow money from national banks
for a longer period of tithe than
ninety days at a reasonable rate of
interest?
4. How are the people generally
accepting the new tariff bill, irres-
pective of party politics, which. pro-
vides that lumber from which hoi
j are built shall be placed on the free
\. t; that .i'i ar, Used on every break-
fa l table, be free from taxation, and
j that woolen- clothing to cover thread-
bare limbs, be free from tariff tax-
| es, and that general. reductions ol' j
taxes and burdens on life's necessi-
ties be made.
5. How do you like the provision
of the new income tax law incorpor-
ated in the tariff bill, which forcse
tho rich to contribute of their swol-
len fortunes to h'-lp bear the just
burdens of government?
6. How do you like the Committee
on Roads which will at last begin
the improvement of through high-
way sof the country?
Again, I am extremely anxious that
every man of every political party,
in the new district feel perfectly free
to take up with me any matter that
deserves attention, and I assure you
n.y efforts belong to you as far as my
' capabilities feo.
1 beg your suggestions, views, and
co-operation in helping me to secure
all the good things possible for the
new Sixth District of Oklahoma.
I beg to remain.
Very sincerely your-,,

LAW LOWERS PRICES OF FOOD
Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 14.—Food
prices will be lowered and made
more uniform, it is declared here, as
a result of the drastic cold storage
act wJ;ich becomes a law In the State
ot Pennsylvania today. The mea-
sure provides that every person oper-
ating a cold storage warehouse must
do so under a State license and es-
tablish every place where any food
U held at 40 degress Fahrenhelr or
under, for 30 days or more a cold
storage werebouse. Foods must also
I be labeled to show that they have
I been In cold storage. It Is expected
that the Produce Exchange will test
ithe constitutionality of the law.
Ardmore, Okla., Aug. IB.—Two ne-
groes, Sanderv Franklin and Henry
ralston, were taken from officers by
a mob near Pauls Valley, late Thurs-
day and lynched according to reports
received here today.
The negroes were on their way to
trial at Pauls Valley. Franklin was
charged with killing a white man,
after a dispute over the price of a
watermelon and Barnes was accused
of killing a white boy Whom he
i found in his atermelon patch.
For capturing full grown lions
large traps of various forms are us-
ed. One trap is square, one of thd
sides lifting upon a spring like the
old fashion mouse trap. This trap
ip bated with a piece ot fresh meats
and as soon as the lion has entered
the trap the door shuts down and he
is a prisoner. More than a score of
the lions with the A1 G. Barnes Cir-
cus were captured In this manner.
elephants are generally caught In
nc.oses. A number of men surroun
the elephant ater they have previous-
ly formed a circle of fire about the
\ livast. The fire gets closer and closer
! to the elephant and finally a noose .s
j thrown over his head. He is then
securely tied to a tree and allowed
11 c remain there until quiet. Tame
elephants are then brought Into uss
and appear to be a sort of persua-
sive In making the huge animals
tractable.
In catching snakes various dv
vices are used. One is to set tne
grass on fire in a circle where it is
known that snakes have hiding
places. As they rush out they are
catr ht in large nets mounted on
wood hoops to which Is attached .
