Hethodist District Conference at Ed-
mond Condemns Republican State
Officials for Unfaithfulness.
Edmond, Aug. 14.—At the late
session of Oklahoma City district
conference of the'M. E. church
held here Thursday and Friday
of last week, after a warm dis-
cussion in which all took part
upon one side of the question,
the following striking resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas,it is commonly known
that the American Book compa-
ny, through its representatives,
Baxter, Blazer and Butcher, is
debauching the public morals by
boasting that they make and
un make governors, presidents
of our state schools, and teach-
ers of our public schools, and
that we believe that none is safe
in his position who dares oppose
this gigantic monopoly in its
nefarious work; therefore
Resolved, That we greatly de-
plore this viciousassault upon our
liberties and urge upon the mem-
bers of our coming constitutional
convention a careful provision for
the elimination of this vicious,
audacious and tyrannous enemy
of our rights; and
Whereas, It is generally known
that certain of our public ser-
vants who could neither be
nought nor coerced by this com-
pany acting through its repre-
sentatives, have wantonly been
removed by these men to whom
our present governor has seem-
ingly given over certain preroga-
tives vested in him through the
authority of the president of the
United States, therefore
Resolved, That .our secretary
be requested to forward a copy
of these resolutions to the Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt, president of
the United States, that he may
know that some of his appointees
here are not serving our new
state either to our present or
future good in the above respect,
and that we hereby earnestly re-
quest him to examine into the
true state of affairs here with
the view of affording relief.
(Signed.)
Committee.
“Of course,” he remarked,
“the republicans are not going
to retain all the seats they now
have in the house, but we will re-
main in actual control of the
Sixtieth congress. That we are
sure of.
“At the last election we hud
President Roosevelt on the ticket
and no real democrat against
him. For this reason we carried
a number of strictly democratic
districts that we had no more
right to than some one besides
the president had to Sagamore
hill While we expect to lose
some of these districts the1 re-
publican members who hold
them now are confident in every
instance of their re-election.”
In a Frisco-“Katy” Collision
Fort Scott, Kan., Aug. 14.—A
St. Louis & San Francisco freight
engine ran into the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas fast passenger
train No. 6, northbound, at the
crossing of the two roads near
this city early today, overturning
a chair car and one sleeper.
Seven persons were injured and
a number of others were thrown
from their seats or berths, but
escaped injury. None of the in
jured is in a dangerous condition.
The passenger train was bound
from Texas to St. Louis and was
six hours late. The chair car
was turned completely over, but
the sleeper fell against a tele-
graph pole, which prevented its
failing to its side. All of the in-
jured were able to continue their
journey.

Republicans Agree on Congressional
Campaign Plans—Democrats Will
Regain Some Seats.
Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 13.—
When Representative Sherman
left Sagamore hill this afternoon
he said that, while he had gone
over the congressional campaign
with the president thoroughly,
the principal object of his visit
was to review the campaign text
book, which is to be issued next
week.
When Speaker Cannon and Mr.
Sherman and other members of
the congressional committee vis
ited the president several weeks
ago certain matters to be handled
in the text book were discussed
in detail.
Mr. Sherman said it was de-
sirable to go over those matters
again with the president before
the book should be given to the
public. He said the president
had approved of the way in which
the matters had been handled.
“The book will be a stand pat
document with word pictures of
the record of the republican
party and reasons why that party
should be kept in power,” said
Mr. Sherman.

Obituary.
W. H. Smith was born at Rich-
mond, Ind., March, 30, 1848, and
died August 8, 1906.
Most of his boyhood days were
spent on the pioneer farms of
Indiana and Illinois, and at the
age of sixteen, and weighing but
eighty four pounds he listed to
his country’s call and enlisted as
a volunteer soldier from Illinois.
For more than three years
and until the war was over, he
folio .ved the flag as a private.
A* Danville, Illinois, on Feb.
9th, 1867, he was united in mar-
riage to Mary A. Beasley, and a
few months later moved to Pine
Village, Ind., where he resided
until the opening of the Sac &
Fox reservation of Oklahoma in
1901.
When Lincoln county was open-
ed for settlement, accompanied
by his oldest son, G. A. Smith,
j he took a claim in Union town-
ship and in common with other
Oklahoma pioneers, proceeded
to make a farm out of a wilder-
ness.
Since then he resided on the
farm or in the city of Chandler.
One of his sterling qualities
was honesty, and his hatred of
shams and deception was pro-
nounced and aggressive, so much
so that he scorned to hide or deny
his own faults.
Besides hundreds of friends
his loss is mourned by a wife,
three children, his father and
two half sisters.
Poace to his ashes. Rest to
his soul. A life of activity, a con
j tinuous battle with a relentless,
merciless foe, a mighty struggle
j to dethrone a monster which pos-
sessed him during the days of
his youth and has dragged him
to his death, has ended, and an
honest man, a good citizen, a
Christian temperament faces a
just and merciful Creator.

A good crowd assembled at
the court house Wednesday to at-
tend the Deep Fork Drainage
meeting.
J. B. Thoburn called the meet-
ing to order and explained the
object of the organization and
the progress that had been made.
He spoke of the topographical
survey that had jointly been
made by Oklahoma and the
National Government. Mr. Tho-
burn is the president of the Deep
Fork Drainage association. He
then told how the National Irri-
gation association had been
fi rrned for the purpose of drain-
ing inundated land and of irri-
gating arid land.
He said that “the landless
man and the inanless land should
be brought together” to relieve
the congested condition of large
cities.
Thomas L. Cannon, secretary
of the National Irrigation associa-
tion was then introduced.
Mr. Cannon told of the organ-
ization of the National Reclama-
tion association and how under
the direction of the association
! the present law was drafted, ex-
j cept that the original bill pro-
vided that the fund should be
used for drainage as well as irri-
gation. It was the object of the
I original bill to drain inundated
land at the expense of the gov-
ernment and the land owners to
pay the government the cost of
drainage in ten equal annual in-
stallments.
The territory has paid over
$4.000,OOOjof the $41,000,000 of the
irrigation fund and has not re-
ceived back one dollar.
The reason why d rainage was
not included in the present law
was because those interested in
drainage did not push their in-
terests when the bill was before
congress. He said that it is now
the part of wisdom to remedy
the evil and restore the drainage
proposition.
He spoke of the injustice of the
present act because it applies to
but 14 states.
Mr. Cannon paid his respects
to the measures introduced into
the last congress b<- denouncing
them as dishonest holdups.
Measures that would compel the
payment into the fund by Okla-
homa and permit Colorado or
some other state to reap the
benefit. He showed how con-
gressmen were willing to sell the
rights of states for a small slice
of the fund for their own district.
He urged the people of Okla-
homa to awaken to their rights
and send a delegation of con-
gressmen from the new state
who would look after the rights
of Oklahoma and its drainage
want.
Mr. Hodgeson, the government
survey officer in charge of the
Dee)) Fork survey was present.
The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year:
.1. B. Thoburn, president.
J. H. Ilanby, vice president.
L. P. King, secrety.
John Cayman, treasurer.
The following resolutions were
| offered and adopted:
Whereas, the National Irriga-
i tion association is exhibiting an
active interest in the subject of
reclamation by drainage as well
| as irrigation, and,
l Whereas, the National Irriga-
tion association has opened an
office at St. Louis which is known
as the St. Louis Section, and,
Whereas, the field of its activi-
ty includes all of the great cen-
tral southwest, therefore be it
Resolved, that we hereby ex-
press our high sense of appreci
ation of the public spirited
enterprise of the National Irri-
gation association and that v\e
extend to the officers of that
organization our hearty co-opera-
tion, and be it further
Resolved, that we would re-
spectfully suggest that, in view
of the scope of its activities, the
name of the St. Louis Section of
the National Irrigation associa-
tion might bo most appmpriately
changed to the Southwestern
Section of that association.
Resolved, that we hereby ex-
press our fullest approval of the
organization, of the Oklahoma
State Irrigation and Drainage
association and that, further-
more, we assure that association
of our desire to aid it in securing
needed action at the hands of the
constitutional convention and of
the state legislature.
Resolved, that we give expres-
sion to our thanks and apprecia-
tion to Hon. Thos. L. Cannon,
executive secretary of the Nation-
al Irrigation association, for h:s
presence at this meeting and his
words of counsel at this time.

South McAlester, Aug. 14.—
The following officers of the In-
dian Territory Farmers’ Union
have been elected as a result of
ceipts are liberal this week, and the referendum vote:
a slump in the price may be ex
pected. Supply of cattle in the
native division is also small, the
first two weeks of August show-
ing a loss of 21,000 cattle here, as
compared with same period last
year. Good pastures, and the
fact that cattle are doing extra
well now, is what is keeping
them back, and general expecta-
tion is that we will have extra
heavy runs later because of the
small movement now. The fea-
ture in the native yards lately
has been the large demand for
stockers and feeders, many buy-
ers going home last week (vith-
out being able to get any cattle.

No Clemency For Burbank.
Leavenworth, Kan., Aug. 14.—
According to information re-

retary Taft has declined to grant
the application for rlemen'cy

first lieutenant of the United
States army, now serving a sen-
tence of fifteen months at the
federal prison there. Burbank
was dismissed from the service
