By Associated Press.

dent sent a special message to con-
gress urging the appropriation of

KILLED WHEN
UMBER FELL
SENATOR OWEN HAS
NO CHOICE AMONG
THE CANDIDATES
Dr. Duke of Guthrie, In a speech
at a picnic at Crescent, read from a
letter he recently received from
Senator Owen the following state-
ment:
"It you withdraw, I have no
choice among the candidates left,
but will expect my friends to use
their own good judgment in the se-
lection of the best possible candi-
date."
After reading this letter. Dr. Duke
announced his withdrawal from the
race for the nomination for gover-
nor.
Taking Senator Owen at his word,
Dr. Duke Is now actively supporting
Judge Williams' candidacy.
This information was given the
News-Herald by Ned Holman, a
prominent business man of Guthrie,
who accompanied Dr. Duke to the
picnic at Crescent. It puts at rest
the stories published in republican i
papers that Senator Owen would,
support Judge Robertson, which i
publication was clearly for the pur- j
pose of injuring the candidacy of.
Judge Williams, the candidate whom
the republicans recognize to be the
strongest and the one whom they
■would have no chance of success-
fully opposing in the election.
W. E. (Everett) Higley, one of
the beBt known plasterers in Shaw-
nee, was fatally injured at the
Catholic university this morning
when a small piece of 4x4 timber
fell five stories and hit him on the
head. He died at the general hospi-
tal this afternoon.
Mr. Higley went out to the uni-
versity this morning to start work,
and was riding up the material ele-
vator with some loads of sand about
9 o'clock. At the top of the elevator
shaft two workmen were using a
4x4 timber to pry off some timbers
to allow a bigger passageway for
material to be loaded through. A
piece broke off the end of the 4x4.
about two feet long, and fell down
the shaft, striking Higley in the
head.
Nothing was known of the acci-
dent until the elevator car passed
the third floor, when carpenters at
work there saw Higley lying across
a wheelbarrow. They rushed up tie
stairs and reached the fifth floor
just as the elevator car arrived
there. Higley was hurried down and
loaded into a wagon, which started
for town. At the first telephone a
message was sent for Carey's ambu-
lance, which met the wagon in the
north part of the city and conveyed
the unfortunate man hurriedly to the
hospital. Here surgeons were wait-
ing, but immediately saw that there
was no hope of saving his life. He
lingered, however, for several hours.
Higley resided at 230 North Kim-
berly street. He leaves a wife.
PROSPERITY IS HERE.
"Prosperity is surely here" says
Mark Martin of the Martin Ice
Cream Co. "Our orders are heavier
both for the city and out of town
customers than they have been for
four years. There surely must be
more money in the country than
there has been for some time."
AGED COUPEE IN
DARK FOUGHT AND
KILLED A ROBBER
By Associated Press.
Yorkvllle, 111., July 3.—After strug-
Ilng in the dark with a masked rob-
ber, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Grimwood,
an old couple living on a farm near
here told how they killed the robber.
The husband armed with a club and
the robber with an ice pick, circled
round and round In the dark feeling
tor one another, lunging and strik-
ing. Their heavy breathing was all
that guided their blows. Grimwood
finally struck the robber on the
head. Mrs. Grimwood leaped on the
robber and choked him while her
husband struck a light and went for
a rope to bind the robber. The rob-
ber died as the husband came back,
he said.
PLEASED WITH Mil. HOWARD.
E, B. Howard, candidate for state
auditor, made a very favorable im
pression on his visit to Shawnee,
though the rain interfered with his
proposed speech. He met many of
the voters, and his statement of
principles appeared to be well re-
celved.
The Boston Grocery sioro has one
of the most unique window displays
that we have noticed In many days.
It is a fac-simile of the United
States capltol building at Washing-
ton, D. C., built of "Royal Cuticle
soap" a product which this store
has started a selling campaign on.
To those who have never seen the
national capltol building, it Is well
worth the time to go to the store
and see the mlnature masterpiece.
We call attention to half-page ad
which appears elsewhere in today's

TB CELEBRATE TDE
GLBRIOUS FOURTH
IN MANY MANNER!)
The people of Shawnee and vicin-
ity will celebrate the glorious
Fourth of July in various ways.
Many families are already leaving
the city to spend the day picnicing
and fishing along the river or In
the country.
Others, and probably thousands of
them, will visit Benson Park where
an excellent program will bo car-
ried out with the usual brilliant
fireworks display at night.
Maud and McLoud are the towriF
in this immediate vicinity that will
celebrate. Maud began a two days'
celebration today, and McLoud to-
morrow will have the usual ora-
tions, sports and fireworks.
The indications are that the da>
will be a quiet one in Shawnee, at
all of the stores and banks will be
closed, and as many as can leave
home will participate in some of th
celebrations.

While his greatest claim to fame
was his determined and brilliant ad-
vocacy for years of a protective pol-
icy for Great Britain, the citadel of
free trade, he will also be remem-
bered as the bitterest and most
forcemul opponent of Gladstone in
that statesman's efforts for home
rule for Ireland; as one of the
founders of the Liberal-Unionist par-

in the greatest war it had experi-
enced since the Crimson conflict, but
blotted out the two Boer republics
and made South Africa "all red."

Insulted Qreat Scientist.
When a pension was voted to Para-
day for his remarkable additions to
scientific knowledge, from which un-
told millions of pounds sterling have
inured, an Ignorant lord was selected
to anuounce the grant, but informed
Faraday that he did not think much
of this science business, and added:
"Now, really, Faraday, It's all a hum-
bug anyway, Isn't it?" The Insulted
chemist refused the pension until
other better informed officials apolo-
gized humbly for the lmpertlnenoa of
"his lordship."
Joke That Failed.
Customer (trying ou dress suit, jok-
ingly)—"I hope I'll never be mistaken
for a waiter." Tailor—"When in
doubt, keep your bands in your pock

Cause of Nervous Breakdown.
When we feel sleepy the drain upon
the nerve cells stops and the heart
has an opportunity to put them into
good working order again. The heart
luckily never gets tired unless we
strain it. WUf>n we do demand too
much of the heart it becomes unsble
to repair the nerve cells properly dur-
ing sleep, and as a result the whole
nervous system goes to pieces.
