O U II L B A I K H H .
Any chautauquft desiring the services of a first class
"from enr to ear cut throat," should address one Champ
Clark of Missouri. He will no doubt soon have a number
of open dates.
A SAMPLE OF PRIVATE OWNERSHIP.
There is a lesson in the Kansas City, Kansas, water
works proposition which could be studied to advantage
by the people of Muskogee who advocate selling the
local system to a private corporation. The plant at that
place is not owned by the city and the result it given
in the following, taken from the Star of the 23d:
"The frequent breaking down of the water works of
the Metropolitan Water Company and its failure to fur-
nish Kansas City, Kas., and the large industries in that
city with an adequate water supply, have caused Mayor
T. B. Gilbert and the officers of those large Industries to
begin the consideration of plans by which "that city can
get a supply of water Independent of the Metropolitan
Water Company, if necessary.
"Mayor Gilbert is now considering a plan of entering
into a contract with Kansas City, Mo., to furnish Kansas
City, Kas., and the large Industries there with water.
In not complying with its franchise for several years
the mayor thinks it will be an easy matter to forfeit all
rights which the Metropolitan Water Company now has
to operate in that city, and for the present, at least,
enter into a contrast with Kansas City, Mo., to furnish
o
water until Kansas City, Kas., has made such arrange-
ments as will be necessary to install an adequate water
system. Kansas City, Mo., will soon have its new pumps
and flowllne in operation, and will then have water to
spare for its sister city.
"The people in that city are not satisfied, and have
never been with the service given by the Metropolitan
Water Cgmpaay, which U now asking for a renewal of

• WlU be his tomb. Such Bjea as General Stnessel hut
provffd himself to be, are fliore valunfcle te the worW s«
a Jiving hero, than aa a dead martyr.
If there are any more prize freaks in the Missouri
Democratic menagerie we hope the executive committee
will please place them on exhibition with Doodler Butler,
Alum Stone, and Cut Throat Clark.
Champ Clark, of Missouri, wants to cut a man's throat
from ear to ear. Perhaps if given the opportunity he
would make the gash higher up, in which event the vic-
tim would not only resemble the blood thirsty chautafl-
Qua specialist, but the Peerleus Nebraskan as well.
tion will not be long in its present condition and in
winding up hours it is desirable that the work be not
handicapped by dishonesty or grafting.—State Capital.

CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
Kiowa Indian Woman Under Indict-
ment hy Federal Grand Jury.
Lawton, Ok., Aug. 24.—Mrs. Ful-
ler, a Kiowa Indian, charged with
perjury both in this county and
Caddo, was arrested in Lawton last
evening as she was attempting to
board the train to depart for Old
Mexico. She has been reading in
Old Mexico, and had returned to this
county to draw her annual payment
from the government, amounting to
almost a thousand dollars. Mrs.
Fuller had brought charges against
Major James Randlett, the govern-
ment Indian agent at Anadarko,
charging him with illegal dealings
with the Indians. An investigation
was ordered by the Interior depart-
ment. Major Randlett was exoner-
ated from the charges and he went
before the United States Grand Jury,
with the result that Mrs. Fuller was
indicted for perjury.
