Sunday morning the senator began to
fail to respond to stimulants. Mrs.
Taylor, worn out by a day and night
vigil had gone to her apartments. At
S o’clock Sunday morning the senator
began to sink so rapidly that she was
sent for. She was at his side when the
end came at 9:40 o’clock.

Crazy Pole Swings Big Club, But
Quick Action of Bystander
Prevents Tragedy
The Clinton, Oklahoma & Western
Railway company haB just placed an
erder for 90,000 ties, 60,000 of which
are to be hewn from white oak in the
vicinity of WestvLle.
Willow, in Greer county, a progres-

At Ardmore, recently, more than one
thousand farmers were given enough
kafir corn seed to plant five acres, and,
therefore, Carter county ought not to

Waukesha, Wis—Senator Gore of
Oklahoma narrowly escaped death
Saturday afternoon when a crazed
Pole, Charles Schomalk, attacked him
with a club while the senator was
speaking. The Pole was sitting near
the stage and in the midst of the sen-
ator’s speech suddenly leaped to the
platform, drawing a club from under
his overalls as he jumped and swung
Instantly at the senator’s head.
One of the men on the stage,
Judge P. C. Marman, was quicker than
the man, however, and knocked Scho-
malk ofT the stage before his blow
landed. The senator, who could not
Bee his danger, was unaware of the
incident until later.
Washington.—Consternation reigns
in Mexico City over the federal defeats
in Chihuahua. Orozco’s success there
is looked upon as quite ominous and
likely to be followed by serious events
throughout the republic, according to
state department reports from the
Mexican capital today.
The weakness of the federal forces
in the south is recognized and Za-
pata seems to be taking advantage
of this fact. He Is reported to be
resuming his fighting In that section.
The federals following their recent
engagement in southern Chihuahua
retreated to Torreon in a demoralized
condition and the state department
reports say the rebels are following
them closely.
The rebel successes have shaken
the confidence of the Washington of-!
ficials in the easy triumph of Ma-
dero over his enemies. They are now
recognizing the possibility of an
overthrmv of the' Madero government
and the grave question is beginning
to assert itself as to the correct at-
titude of the United States in tbs
turmoil and chaos which probably
would follow the clashing of presi-
dential aspirations of at least three
or four ambitious Mexican leaders.
There is no thought of intervention.
Jury Deliberated Nineteen Hours, But
at No Time Were Packers in
Danger of Conviction—Roose-
velt Loses New York
Chicago.—Chicago packers ended i
ten years’ legal battle with the gov
ernment when a Jury in United Statei
district Judge Carpenter’s court found
them not guilty of violating the crlm
inal section of the Sherman anti
trust law.
During the past week ploughing
operations have started in earnest and
on a big scale in every part of the
state.
A waiting room, no fire, a cold day,
and men, women and children and
H^groes occupying the same room, has
caused W. H. Allison, of Steedman to
complain to the corporation commis-
sion.
Durant’s public schools were estab-
lished in 1901. The city has in the
time intervening since then and now
expended $370,000 for school buildings,
or an average of close to $34,000 each
year.
The supreme court dismissed Car-
men’s appeal in Its case against Chero-
Jtee over the location of the county
•eat of Alfalfa county. At an election.
Cherokee won, and Carmen appealed,
alleging election frauds.
Hypathecating Hay
Wichita, Kan.—Hay being shipped
to Wichita is being confiscated by the
stock feeders, according to informa-
tion received by hay dealers here.
There Is a shortage of forage and
sheriffs nearby are helping the farmers
protect their stock. The wheat is too
soft for pasturing and early contracts
took a great deal of the hay out of the
country. Hay in cars, if allowed to
stand on a siding, is not likely to reach
its destination. The severe winter
has made it very difficult for the stock
feeders to get food for their cattle.
Baled alfalfa hay sold in Wichita for
$24 a ton.
Situation Looks Gloomy
Laredo, Tex.—Refugee traffic from
Mexico appeared on the increase when
100 persons passed through here from
Mexico. This is double the number of
arrivals for several days. The passen-
gers were principally women and
children.
The one word “gloom" expresses
the views of the majority of these
passengers on the Mexican situation.
A carload of dynamite is being held
up here by United States customs
officials, who have it under guard in
the railroad yards. It is consigned to
Mexico. Instructions have been is-
sued to detain seven more carloads of
dynamite reported to be routed toward
Laredo for Mexico.
DONAGHEY HAS BEEN BEATEN
It was the "unbounded enthusiasm"
®f Oklahoma people which caused Dr.
Btratton D. Brooks to throw up his
position as city superintendent of the
Boston, Mass., schools and accept th«
presidency of the University of Okla-
homa.
According to the action recently
taken by the Chickasha board of edu-
cation, no teacher will be employed in
the public schools of that city who
has not passed a physical examination
under a regular physician appointed
by the board.
Arickaree Tom, noted Pawnee In-
dian, died recently at Pawnee. He
was a scout under Generals Custer and
Miles after serving as a war chief for
his tribe. In this latter capacity he
led an Indian advance during the bat-
tle of the Arickaree, in eolotado, thus
Receiving his name.
Mill Hands Given Increase
Boston.—Cotton mills in New Eng-
land, employing 100,000 operatives,
have decided to advance wages ten
per cent. It was at first intended to
grant an increase of five per cent only,
but the action of the Fall River and
New Bedford owners in conceding a
10 per cent raise induced manufactu-
rers of other New England mills and
in western Massachusetts to fall into
line
Moree Quite Well
•Florence, Italy—Charles W. Morse,
who recently was released from the
federal prison at Atlanta on communi-
cation of sentence, concerning whose
physical condition alarming reports
have been published, is said to be in
comparatively good health.
Raise Prize Fund
Chickasha, Okla.—Four hundred dol-
lars has been secured for prize and
premium money in Grady county to
encourage the work among the boys’
and girls’ agricultural clubs.
Arkansas Governor Falls of Renomina-
tion But Jeff Davis Wins
Little Rock, Ark.—Returns from six-
ty-five of the seventy-five counties of
Arkansas indicate that Joe T. Robin-
son, congressman from the Sixth dis-
trict, has defeated Governor George
W. Donaghey in the race for Demo-
cratic nominee for governor, 43,740 to
22,791. This majority will probably
be increased when the full vote is re-
turned.
Returns from the same number of
counties indicate that United States
Senator Jeff Davis has been re-nom-
inated over Stephen Brundidge, 33,-
695 to 27,670. It is claimed that more
complete returns will make this con-
test considerably closer.
Whether further investigations ir
the beef packing industry will b«
made, District Attorney Wilkerson re-
fused to say. He was overwhelmed
by the verdict
The verdict came after the jury
had been out nineteen hours. At no
time during the deliberations were
the packers in danger. Only three
ballots were taken. The first was
eight to four for acquittal, the second
eleven to one and the verdict came
with the third.
Failure of the government to prove
its case beyond reasonable doubt was
responsible for the verdict, several
jurors said. They did not review the
exhibits in the case. The mass of fig
ures and reports mystified them. To
have attempted to untangle them
would have been useless, it was 1
agreed.
The verdict was received quietly,
Only two defendants, Thomas J. Con-
nor, a director and general superin-
tendent of Armour ft Co., and Edward
Tilden, president of the National Pack-
ing company, were in court when the
jury seturned its verdict. As soon is
the verdict was read the two packers
leaped to their feet and shook hand*
with their attorneys and the jurors.
After the announcement of the ver-
dict in the packers’ trial, provisions
advanced ail around. The rise was 16
cents for pork and bacon and l^c to
10c for lard.
In addition to the cost of packing
house products, Swift & Co. shares
advanced 2% points on the Chicago
stock exchange one hour before the
verdict. After the jury had come in
a further jump upward occured, mak-
ing a total advance of 6 points.
Washington, D. C—That the state
law of Oklahoma prohibiting the pip-
ing of gas from without the state bor-
ders is unconstitutional was again the
decision of the United States supreme
court in an opinion handed down
Monday.
The court, Justice Day giving the
opinion, reiterated its stand when the
case was previously before it, holding
that natural gas after severance was
a commodity which may be dealt in
like other products of the earth such
as coal and minerals and is a legiti-
mate subject for interstate commerce
and no state can prohibit its trans-
portation in interstate commerce be-
yond the line of the state. The court
holds that to prohibit such transpor-
tation was unconstitutional interfer-
ence with the rights of thet complain-
ants, the Kansas Natural Gas com-
pany, the Marnett Mineral company,
A. W. Lewis, et a!., and therefore was
null and void.
The court recognizes the right of
the state by proper legislation to regu-
late the removal of gaB by its owner
so as to prevent undue waste, but
maintains the decision of the lower
court upon the grounds of the law’s
prohibitory character in atemptlng to
prevent the transmission from the
state, through pipe lines, of a legiti-
mate subject of interstate commerce.
The companies affected by the state
law brought suit in the circuit court
of the eastern district of Oklahoma
against Former Governor C. N. Has-
kell and Attorney General West and
other state officials to enjoin the en-
forcement of the law undertaking to
prevent the companies from transport-
ing gas to points without the state
borders. Upon final hearing in that
court, the statute was held void as
against the constitution of the United
States and the enforcement enjoined.
The case came to the supreme court
on appeal and was argued and de-
cided in the October term, 1910. On
May 29, 1911, the last day of the term,
a motion was made in the supreme
court by the attorney general of Ok-
lahoma to modify the affirmance of the
decision below.
Motion was overruled with leave of
either party to apply to the circuit
court from whence the case came for
such modification of the decree as
would have it conform to the opinion
of the supreme court and proceedings
were instituted by the attorney gen-
eral, he filing the motion in the circuit
court of the eastern district of Okla-
homa. The complainants appeared
and filed a motion in the form of a de-
murrer and also led answer in the
case. The circuit court treating th%
pleadings of the defendants as in the
nature of a demurrer without hearing
evidence in support or against the
granting of the motion, overruled the
same and the mandate of this court
affirming the former decree was
spread on the records. Thereupon the
appeal decided Monday by the su-
preme court was taken.
Love Matches.
"Miss Marie Corelli, like all femal*
novelists, is a firm believer in marrv.
log for love.”
The speaker, an editor of a worn-
an’s magazine, was taking tea st the
Colony clnb In New York. She con
tlnuei, a nut sandwich poised near
her mouth:
“I argued and wrangled about love
matches with Miss Corelli one whole
day in her old-fashioned Stratford
home, but she rather got the better
of me, at the end with an epigram:
“ ’She who marries ,for love,’ Mlse
Corelli said, ’enters heaven with her
•yea shut. She who marries without
love enters hell with them open.’”

was written in the history of the ill-

last week, in the hands of W. E.
