A REAL "STAG" LUNCHEON.
Hundred and Fifty Members of T.
and C. Club Make Merry.
Caesar Kelley, Respected and Wealthy
Citizen of McIntosh County Ar-
rested for Brutal Crime.
One hundred and fifty members of
the Muskogee Town and Country
club enjoyed a stag luncheon, a
specially prepared vaudeville pro-
gram and talks by some of the mem-
bers of the club house last evening.
Special cars conveyed the members
out to the club house and brought
them back after the evening's enter-
tainment was over. It was the mos/
enjoyable affair of Its kind in the his-
tory of the club.
While an orchestra furnished j
strains of sweet music, the club mem- ,
bers sat down to luncheon at eight
o'clock. Afterwards, the vaudeville
proved to be the attraction and this j
was followed by short talks, by mem- j
bers of the club.
Charged with the brutal murder of
l\ls wife at his home north, of Han-
. nah, last Wednesday night Caesar
J Kelley, one of the wealthiest and most
prominent Indians in McIntosh ooun-
ty was arrested by Sheriff McCune
(and Deputy Sheriff J. J. Turney
Thursday afternoon and brught back
to Eufaula at four o'clock Friday
• morning.
r The officers found him at his home
[where his wife had been murdered.
When he was placed under arrest he
said:
"I've been expecting thU, but I'm
no mui'uerer."
The death of Mrs. Kelley was re-
I ported to the officers by her husband
last Thursday. He told them that
he had Just returned home and found
her horribly mutilated body lying
where it had been thrown over the
back fence. Physicians said the wo-
, man had been dead twenty hours.
To the officers Kelley told an alibi
that he had been in Eufaula all of
Wednesday and Thursday morning.
No trace of him could be found, how-
ever, at the livery stable where he
usually placed Bis horses when he
came to town, at the hotel or at his
lawyers office where he said he had
"* vtsited.
"* As a motive the*officers advance
the theory that by hia wife's death
Kelley comes into possession of some
^of the richest land in McIntosh coun-
iof t
Ity.
I Overturned furniture troughout the
house, bloody finger and hand prints
Dn every door and pools of blood In
the doorways where she had fought
off her assailant and with fastly eb-
bing strength attempted to hold the
doors against him told of an awful
struggle. The authorities now de-
clare-that this man against whom she
fought for her life is her husband.
The body was found horribly mu-
tilated, shot arid stabbed, and thrown
to the hogs.
A man who worked for Kelley In
years past and a ward of his several
iyears ago were found dead, brutally
killed but there was never any clue
■"* to the slayer.
| Kelley was one of the most re-
fspected Indian in the entire county.

GERMANY IRIS
THREATS OF WAR
Applause Greets Bitter Attacks
On England in the
Reischstag.
BERLIN, Nov. 10.—That Chancellor
Von Bethmann-Hollweg's position la
bady shaken is the only possible ver-
dict on today's debate in the Helsch-
stag-Morocco-Congo treaty. After
his speech had fallen completely flat,
speakers of the four leading parties
attacked his arguments and viewed
with each other in criticising the
agreement.
The defection of the conversatlves
and clericals from the government's
body guard was an especially severe
blow. Every speaker defended Dr.
Von Lindequist.
The debate called out many sharp
attacks upon England, which were
greeted with applause. The chief at-
tack was made by Herr Von Heyde-
brand and waa astonishingly belli
ocse.
Referring to Chancellor Lloyd
George's well remembered speech, he
said that Germany now knows where
to find the enemy.
"Germany," he continued, "is not
accustomed to submit to such things.
The German people will give a Ger-
man answer to this English question.
The government will know what ans-
wer to give when the hour comes.
When it comes is for the government
to say, but its duty is to decide for
the honor of the German nation. We
Germane will be ready to make what'
ever sacrifices are necessary."
A great commotion ensued at the
conclusion of Herr Von Heydebrand's
speech.

The way thousands are trying to help

Finding good health by taking
Electric Bitters, she now advises
other sufferers, everywhere, to take
them. "For years I suffered with

One of the important features of
the Trans-Mississippi Commercial con-
gress which convenes at Kansas City
Nov. 14, will be the address of Senator
Nelson W. Aldrich, chairman of the
monetary commission appointed by
President Taft. His address will be
given Tuesday the first day of the
conference.
One hundred and four business men
and citizens of Muskogee will board a
special train Monday night with three
reserved Pullmans bound for Kansas
City, where they will use what Influ-
ence they have towards the develop-
ment of the Waterways A. C.
Trumbo of this city is a candi-
date for the presidency of the con-
gress.
It will be a decided treat for the
western people, not to specifically say
Muskogee "boosters." to hear ex-
Senator Aldrich, on this, his western
trip in which he hopes to find out
whether or not western sentiment is
in favor of the Aldrich bill, which
will be presented at the next session
of congress.
Heretofore westerners have disap-
proved of the bill to a certain exten*
more than anything else, because they
were unfamiliar with it. Following
his meeting with the trans-Mississippi
congress. Senator Aldrich will go to
New Orleans where he will place the
contents of his bill before the Ameri-
can Bankers' convention which will
be held there the week following.
Former Senator Aldrich has de-
vised a system upon which he has
spent much thought and study. He
has been revising his plan after con-
sulting business Interests of the
country and will tell of his bill next
Tuesday in Kansas City at the T. M.
C. C.
The question of finance is upper-
most in the minds of the people. It
will be the first topic for discussion
at the meeting Tuesday, it will also
be the first matter taken up at the
next session of congress. Ex-Senator
Aldrich believes that he has a remedy
for panic, that by securing the pass-
age of his bill he will remove an
unnecessary problem that has torn
down the country before and place in
history a mark of fame for himself.
Among the prominent men who will
address the congress are George M.
Reynolds, president of the Continent-
al-Commercial bank of Chicago,
which has the largest deposits of any
bank In the United States even sur-
passing the National City bank of New
Vork City, Prof. J. Laughlin, In-
structor of political economy at Chi-
cago university; W. II. Fuqua, presi-
dent of the Texas Bankers' asso-
ciation; United tSates- Senator S. M.
Hitchcock of Nebraska; J. N. Dolley,
bank commissioner of Kansas, ana
Judge W. T. Bland of Kansas City.
These speakers will all speak upon
the financial question following which
an open discussion by retailers, whole-
salers and manufacturers will be
held.

Only an Alienist
Can Tell Whether
a Beast is a Bug
"When two men will argue as
to whether a crawling thing is an
animal or a bug, I think even the
men ought to be classed with
the latter. When I see a bug
pick up a chew of tobacco, a
man's siaed chew at that, walk
off with It, chew It and then
swallow it, however, I believe any
man Is justified in debating with
himself as to whether or not he's
•bugs.' "
. Dan Kennedy of the Wheeler-
Kennedy Realty company with
offices in the Mid-Continent build-
ing delivered himself of the above
yesterday afternoon after a bug.
that's what they finally agreed
the thing was—had helped him-
self to a chew of discarded to-
bacco, and had stowed the same
away In his bread basket. (Bugs,
they said, don't have stomachs.)
The reptile. (Wheeler called It
a reptile), was four Inches and
then some in length. There are
witnesses to prove that assertion.
Its tusks (that is Wheeler's name
for the "feelers") were as long as
the body.
The beast (that Is what C. IT-
Sims of San Jose, California, calls
It) ate ten cents worth of chewed
tobacco in one hour which Is go-
ing some even for a man who
chews unchewed tobacco. Mr.
Sims, being fresh from San Jose
where they have tarantulas and
Insects of that Ilk, is positive he
never saw such a beast before.
"It swelled up like a poisoned pup
after it ate the tobacco." he said,
"and actually became vicious.
Before he'd been noticed half an
hour, however, he became real
tame and ate all the cigar stubs
in sight. Who would be tHe prop-
er party to diagnose such a case
of 'bugs' at first sight?"
"Take him to an entomologist,"
said Wheeler.
"An entomologist Is a horse
doctor. What would a horse doc-
tor know about tobacco eating
reptiles?" queried Kennedy.
"You're both wrong. The only
person who can tell what kind of
a beast It Is, Is an alienist. He
knows bugs and if this Is a bug
he'll know It." said Sims.
They named the creature Al-
fred last night. Instead of trying
to capture him, no one being
willing to take the risk of hav-
ing his hand eaten off, the doors
were tightly locked and the catch-
es on the window sprung In order
that Alfred might by no means,
escape-
Also, alienists will be Invited to
take a look at Alfred today to de-
termine what manner of bird,
beast, fish, insect or bug It is that
eats tobacco and other things
found on the floors of offices.

ltodl.-s llecovcred — Rescuers
Driven Back.
PUNXSUTAWANEY. Pa., Nov. 10.
—(Friday)—Six bodies of miners
were recovered from the burning
Adrian shaft of the Rochester ana
Pittsburg Coal and Iron company
shortly after 1 o'clock this morning,
by rescue crews from the govern-
ment's bureau of mines station at
Pittsburg. Two miners are still miss-
ing.
Engineer J. T. Ryan, in charge of
the rescue crew, would not express an
opinion as to the cause which led up
to the death of the miners.
Fifty miners who entered the shaft
several hours after the accident in an
attempt to effect a rescue were driven
out by the gas. Some of them, be-
| coming unconscious, were carried to
the surface by their comrades. All
the missing miners are foreigners.
