London, June 25.-4:45 a. m. Sir Freder ick Treves. Sir Francis H. Laking and Sir Thomas Barlow remained at Buckingham Palace all night. The Associated Press learns that about midnight last night Ins majesty enjoyed some refreshing sleep. It is not likely that any further bulle tin of the king's condition will be issued before 1 o'clock this morning. London. June 25.-4:40 a. m. At twenty minutes past 4 o'clock this morning the cflicer of the guard at Buckingham Pal i, informed a representative of the As sociated Press that he understood there twas no r.ew developments in the king's condition. At this hour the palace was everywhere closed ar.d there were no signs of life Ehout the buildings except the sentries outside and a small lot of messenger? and reporters awaiting a possible bulletin. London, June 24. "With dramatic sud denness King Edward has been stricken down upon the eve of his coronation. To night he lies in a critical state at Buck ingham palace. In spit.- of the intensity of this tragis interruption, the lower element of Lon don are "Mafficking"' through the flag decked streets and a portion of society in coronation gowns and jewels has gath ered at what is called a gala coronation di ner at one of the fashionable hotels. Even at the gates of Buckingham palace, within whith the ablest surgeons and Thysiciar:, constantly remain in the hope f.i savirg i he sovereign's life, the toot ii'g of Ivu-ns and the mund of other rev elries cm be plainly heard. NO KESPECT IN MOB That slim gathering which still rem nine beside the flaring palace light is now more b nt on celebrating than on sym pathizing. Wagon loads of boisterous rowdies are on the streets; they are driv ing all sons of vehicles and waving fiags and hugging demijohns of liquor. Tin y m ike th. lr noisy way from the west end t Whit-- .'hapel. They represent that St. tion of the British public which no tragedy m sober Into decency. They have fcisu-d license unrestrained by law in the It brat ions in connection with the war. and king or no king, they will C'b'brate the coronation. It must be ad mitted that the revel 1 is have been mis led by the technical language of the bui lt tins. They pecm to hav no conception P, the gravity of King Edward's situa t. p.. Th-- thinking portion of the na-t-fii. h'wver, has gone home numld t' the ev. nts which the day has brought forth. CONSTERNATION IN COUNTRY Ir.des- nibble consternation prevails through.. the country and this con st' mat; on is reflected in the cablegrams r-eeive i i-om all centers of the univ erse. King Edward is in a room facir.g the l- autiful gardens of Buckingham palace i.n.l far from the street or crowd. If to T ght's progress is maintained, Iv will oh.ib'y tide over the effects of his se-'-e operation, which has successfully r' ino- 1 the local Trouble.

"While the operation was being performed the grand central court yard of Buckingham palace, so lately the scene of such brilliant gatherings, was utterly deserted and an impressive si lence reigned throughout the building. The equerries talked in whispers, ser vants tiptoed about and the tension grew almost unbearable. Then the word was passed around "all had gone well." SALISBURY CALLED Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour then went in to congratulate Queen Alexan dria and afterward an informal and per haps historic discussion occurred between the Prince of "Wales and the Duke of Connaught and Lord Salisbury, Mr. Bal four and several other members of the cabinet. Before the end of the afternoon over 2,000 callers, who included nearly all the foreign representatives in London and members of the house of lords and the house of commons had inscribed their names on the visitors' book at Bucking ham palace. All the royal princes called personlaly on the Prince of Wales and bade him good-bye. The majority of them will eave London tomorrow for their respective countries. In striking contrast to the happy an ticipation with which the day opened is an order issued tonight by the arch bishop of Canterbury, most Rev. Freder ick Temple and the archbishop of York, most Rev. William D. McLan, appoint ing special forms for the Intercession ser vices to be held next Tuhrsday. ARCHBISHOPS ORDER PRAYERS "The congregations," say the archbish ops, in their joint order, "would doubt less be thankful to join at this juncture in prayer to the Almighty for blessing on his majesty, the king, and Tor his speedy recovery. The first two prayers In those prescribed for the visitation of the sick might bo used for the occasion." The archbishop of Canterbury also asks for "the public and private prayers of all in behalf of the king in his serious illness." A large congregation in St- Paul's this afternoon listened to the bishop of Step ney, who is one of King Edward's inti mate friends. The bishop referred to the king's recent presence in the cathedral at the peace thanksgiving as a sad con trast to today's circumstances and asked his congregation to pray for his maj esty, the royal family and the king's physicians and to learn to hope. Then followed a solemn pause while the vast congregation knelt reverently in silent prayer. A short service of intercessions followed. Many Americans were pres ent at St. Paul's. A service similar to the one held there was also held at St. George's chapel by the dean of Windsor. NOTICE IN GAZETTE A brief notice has been published in the Gazette, as a result of which the en tile state, social and business arrange ments throughout the country are para lyzed. Thv order is dated from the Earl Marshal s office and reads as follows: T have to announce that the solemnity of the coronation of their majesties. King Edward VII and Queen Alexandria Is postponed from the 26th to a date here after to lv determined." The best informed opinion places the date of the coronation in about three months' time, provided King Edward pro gresses well in the meantime. In spite of the royal wish that the provincial celebrations be carried out sts usual, many towns have abandoned the festivities which wtv to be held, a though at Liverpool and other large cities hurried meetings were called and it was dteided to carry out all the charitable arrangements as previously made. The leading business houses of London have decided to keep open June 28 and 27, although the banks will probably be closed those days. MANY WILL SUFFER Among the hundreds of postponement caused by the sudden illness of the King, is that of the publication of tie list of coronati.-n honors. Portsmouth is per haps the ket nest suff. rer among all who lose f.".mcislv as a resu'.t of the post ponement of the eoro-'.ation. The har vest Portsmouth expected to reap from the navtl review will now be lost to the cit The bonfire which top the hills of the United Kingdom from John O'Gsoats to Land's End will not i- lighted.

The Idea was mooted in some official qparters today with a view to pre venting the dispp-:ztraer.t of the pub lic Queea Alexandria, should be crcfisusd. alone next Thursday and the king should be crowned In a comparatively private manner upon his recovery. The idea wa3 discussed, but was rejected as a proceed ure calculated to mislead the public mind as to the purely relative importance of the queen consort. The pope and the king of Italy and other monarchs have cabled anxious in quiries concerning King Edward's prog ress and dispatches received from al! parts of the world reflect the intensity of feeling occasioned by the unexpected news of his majesty's illness and sym pathy with the British nation. STOCKS WERE AFFECTED On the stock exchange the effect of the startling news was Immediate. Prices weakened, led by consols with a fall of half a point. His majesty, under ordi nary conditions, was not looked upon as a good subject for operations, and though the king passed successfully through the ordeal it Is believed that four or five weeks must elapse before he will be able to undergo the arduous labors of the cor onation ceremonial. Therefore, no date can yet bs indicated for carrying out the coronation. Official announcements of the king's illness were made to public bodies as speedily as possible. Word was sent to the house of commons and the acting lord chamberlain, Lord Churchill, person ally delivered to the mansion house, the official residence of the lord mayor, a message regarding his majesty's illness and at this morning's rehearsal oi the coronation ceremony In Westminster ab bey, the bishop of London, the Right Rev. Arthur F. Ingram at the request ot Lord Fisher, the deputy governor of Windsor Castle, made a statement as follows: "I have to make a very sad announce ment. The king is suffering from an ill ness which makes an operation necessary today. The coronation, therefore. Is post poned." The bishop requested the congregation to join in th litany out of the coronation service and pray for the recovery of the king. During the afternoon the earl marshal, the duke of Norfolk, issued the following notice: "The earl marshal has received the king's commands to express his majesty's deep sorrow that owing to his serious ill ness the coronation ceremony must be postponed. The celebrations In London will in consequence be likewise postponed, but it is the king's earnest hope that the celebration in the country shall be held as already arranged." The king also expressed to the lord mayor his desire that his majesty's dinner to the poor of London be not postponed. t NEWS WAS ANNOUNCED At about 1 o'clock In the afternoon three copies of the signed medical bulle tin were posted on different parts of tha railings surrounding the front of Buck ingham palace. The crowd who had been so numerous during the earlier part of the day had by that time dwindled 'to a few hundred, but constantly increasing numbers of fashionable occupants of passing carriages descended to read the bulletin. It was as follows: London, June 2412:46 p. m. Sir Francis Knolly, the king's private secretary, has issued the official medical announcement follows: "The king is suffering from perityph litis. His condition on Saturday wis so satisfactory that It was hoped with: care his majesty would be able to go through the ceremony. On Monday evening a re crudescense became manifest, rendering a surgical operation necessary today. (Signed) LISTER. "THOMAS SMITH, LAKING. "THOMAS BARLOW, TREVES."

Associated Press Immedi ately after his visit to Buckingham Pal ace. Ho said: "It is exceedingly distressing news. It is impossible to say more or attempt to forecast events. Wo can only wait and hope for the best." Diplomats called throughout the day at the foreign office to express their condo lence. Stripped of medical phrasfs. the king was suffering from appendicitis and th operation was entirely successful. The king's condition up to the present is sat isfactory, but all depends upon the next fifteen hours. Of course his age ar.d mode of life aro against him. Sin ?e morn ing the old stories that he is suffering from cancer of the throat have been re vived, but they are authoritatively de nied. As the day wore on the rumors in creased in gravity until a report was cir culated oa the stock exchange that the king was actually dead. NATURE OF DISEASE New York. June 24. Dr. Cyrus Edson explained the king's illness and the oper- ation as follows: Perityphlitis is inflammation, including the formation of an abscess of the Us sues around the verlform appendix, and hence perityphlitis to hard to distinguish at once from appendicitis. Usually an operation is necassary to ascertain whether the appendix or the surrounding tissue is diseased. In the king's ease there is probably an abscess at the head of the larga Intestine where the appendix begins, and the operation today was a immediate necessity because the abscess had to be got at at once and emptied of contents or pus. Of course. I cannot say what further than the ahscass was dt-covered by the surgeons, thct Is. to what extent the toOamtaatioa bad af fected that part of the Wag's body. Un der ordinary drcmastaaoas he ought to recover in three or four but after recovery it would perhaps be four weks more bfore he would be able to perfona his part of the ooronatioa cerotaccy. Tho king's trouble Is in his right sldo, kw down." ENGLISH PRESS COMMENT London. June 25. The Loadoa jaomfag papers refer editorially to tho dare shadow which has fallen over the na tion, and to Its utterly uaprlod character. While they strive to maintain an air of hopefulness, they ha-re dtSI cutty in concealing their aaxjexy at the ToaUxiucd oa Sccasfi Pare. EMOCRACY WALLLOWED POPULISM Day of Great Wrangling Among Pops at Topeka. TALKING OF A BOLT Agreed to Vote Democratic licketand Filled it Out, HARRIS WAS CHAIRMAN Democrats Met Also in journed Session. Ad- DOSTER IS RENOMINATED Botkin for Congressman -at Large Also Nominated. Topeka, Kan., Juno 24 The Peoples Par ty state convention tonight completed the nomination of the following ticket: Justice supreme court, four years Frank Doster, Marion. Six years Ed. S. Waterbury, Lyon; B. F. Milton, Ford. Congressman-at-large J. D. Botkin, Cowley. Lieutenant governor Fred J. Close, El lis. Attorney general F. M. Pearl, Brown. Treasurer D. W". Heffleblower, Miami. Superintendent of public instruction F. C. Powell, Reno. Superintendent of Insurance J. D. Hart, Norton. The convention was the scene of a livoly contest all day In regard to the question of fusion with the Democrats. There were a large number of straight out Populists in the convontion who wanted a ticket nominated without refer ence to tho wishes of tho Democrats. While this clement was numerous enough to put up a strong fight, it could not con trol the policy of tho convention. Fu sion was accordingly adopted. The above ticket was submitted to the Democratic state convention late tonight and .will become a part of the Democratic ticket. The Democrats In their convention at Wichita lnet 'month, nominated a govern or and the oTher state ohlcers fxcopt those today chosen by the Populists. By this sort of a combination the allkd forces hope to overcome the provisions of the anti-fusion law. Very turbulent scenes marked the pro gress of tho meeting today. Senator Har ris, the temporary chairman, delivered a keynote address thi3 morning. This session was peaceable, consisting only in the appointment of the usual commit tees, i In the afternoon the fusion crowd, after securing the organization, attempted to "railroad" the prrweedings in favor of amalgamation with the Democrats. Then the battle startfd. At numerous periods during the afternoon the 700 or more dele gates appeared to all talking at once, so great was the confusion. Tho anti-fu-sionists were mor than determined to defeat the designs of the other element. On only one matter, the selection of Senator Harris for trrmporary chairman, was there anything like unanimity dis plaved. Every other step the converthm tnok was contested vigorously. The resolutions reaffirm th" principles of the last national platform, demand the initiative ar.d referenaum and -primary election law. endorse the declarations of the Democratic state platform nn the subjects of trusts, railway corporation, taxation and government ownership of railroads. The Republican party is denounced for j t s subserviency to trusts and com bines. Its maintenance of a duty cn trust made goods and its refusal to provide the promised relief for Cuba." A long section is devot-d to the antl fusion law rnactel by the last Republican '.-piMature. "The liberty of the p. opie is not only menaced but o erthrown by such subversion of the election law. says the resolution, "and until this infamous law can be wiped from our statute bxiks we are deprived of our ec,Ual rights un der the laws, in plain vsriation cf the provisions of the ec-nstitnUoa. There is considerable talk late tonight to the effect that the anti-fusion crowd win bolt the nomination and meet tomor row for the purpose of nominating an other ticket. The opposition to the fu sion idee, is so pronounced that the lead ers of the party would not be surprised to see such a more on the part of the bolters. Those opposing fusion say they never will endure the idea of voting with the Democrats and will maintain thlr party name at any cost. SIUC1DED IN RIVER William Brown. Murder.

After a conference tonight lasting nearly two hours, the six candidates for the congres sional nomination. McNeai. McGuire. Rob bens. Morgan, Esabry and Goodrich agreed upon Colonel Chase T. Lincoln of Bl Reno for temporary chairman of the convention tomorrow and W. Klxnber of Kiowa county and S. H. HUton of Ok lahoma county for secretarlea.

Burford of Guthrie were all considered as available for the chairmanship. The contest tonUrht was centralized by party leaders upon any reliable organisa tion man for temporary chairman of the convention several names of men oppoeed to Flyna and tbe orgaataatlOB were men tioned, bat those were opeosed by tbe or ganization leaders. For a urn It seemed that Geo. Orner of Enid would be deckled upon for chairman. McGuire was for Jndge Burford of Guthrie or G. C Jones of Oklahoma City and an agreement on Lincoln, was reached after a full discus sion o( the situation. Conference Cleared Things. For a time tonight there wre indica tions that th- field would h against Mc Guire. Thie situation continued until the conference between Candida trs and had there been no agreement upon an organi zation man in tbe conference tbe light would have bfn carried into tomorrow a convention. Governor Ferguson and William Grime? were instrumental in securing a confer ence of the candidates and in ths selection ot an organisation man for chairman McGuire and McNeai wWl be loaders in the convention with Robberts And Mor gan close followers, from all indications tonight. McGuire has been able to bold his forces together today, wh.ie McNeai has been gaining strength and Morgan has probably def-lr,l,ed more poeitlvs strength since arriving tn Enid than any other can didate. Robberte bos made n active can vass and ha1 made friends in all of the delegations. The McGuire men are the nmrt sanguine and are n mlstntly predating tonight that McGuire will be nomlnatfl early In the convention. Dick T.

A delegation 'jnen fropi Kingfisher cnme Up last night to talk Robber ts to the delegates -who had "arrived in the city. They were headed by the veteran Cantnln .T. V. Admire. Jim Robb. B. F. Smith and others. These men immacl lately went to the Hubbard house and from the time they arrived never stopped talkine of the merits and chances of their candidate for this nomination. Enid a Lively Place. Enid presents a lively appecranco to night. This afternoon the big. special tiain from Pawnee county and eastern Oklahoma arrived. It brought the Paw ness. Payne,' XSJgp, tleiegaliQns and scat tering delegates who did not start be fore today. The Guthrie band, wearing Mc Neat's' colors, came with, the crowd from Logan county. The Stillwater and Perry bands came, wearing 3IcGuire col ors. and after arriving her there was band music all over the city, iluch en thusiasm was displayed and every can didate had an abundance of "rooters' to indicate that the flght of tomorrow will go down in the annals of Oklahoma a.1- the srreatest political convention the territory has over seen. Banners and flags have been displayed to the breezes and It seems that every citizen of Enid is wearing, a. reception .committee badge. There was a scramble this afternoon and, tonighj for rooms;; bnt It Is evident that Enid will take care' of her visitors in splendid shape. Beaver County Contestants. Two contesting delegations will be here tomorrow "from Beaver county. Beaver Is entitled to six delegates in the con v.ntlon. One convention was called for the 14th to select delegates to the Enid convention. The call was published in a paper mailed on th 13th and the con vention was held the following day. Geo. H. Healy- of Beaver heads the delega tion which is said to be for McICeal Another convention was callM undei the call published by the territorial com mittee and- a delegation elected which is headed by Dick Quinn. The second del egation Is for tho organization and would be for Dennis T. Plynn were his name before the convention. CONVENTiONNOTES Enid put on her "glad clothes" this morning to welcome the visitors to tho convention. The arrival of the advance guard yesterday and last night surprised the citizens of Enid, for they did not be l!eve that the delegates would start com ing until today. Enid was ready for the oc-casion. however, and this morning ev ery train wag met by jv large reception committee who were willing and anxious t-. Ho Trreryttong in their power for the tit legates to the convention. The Enid band was out early in uniform playing martial music for the benefit of the visit ors. The band marched and counter marched around the square, and the music was convincing to the visitors thnt Enid will do her share toward entertain ing in a right royal manner every mai uho comes to the city. An information bureau has been established and the man who did not have a room when he arrived here w.-is not long !n finding one, nnd every convenience that he desired Tas arranged for. One thing is particularly noticeable In thif convention and that Is the absence of the farmers. It is more of a 'politi ciai.s" convention than anything else. There are -sreveral reasons for this, and cne of the principal ones Is that every farmer is bus? harvesting!!! what crop or .eking care -of his corn. However, there are many farmers In attendance, but not as many as in former years. Frank H. Greer, of the Guthrie State Capital, is one of the hard workers for McNeal. Mam- hive stated that Greer s managing McNeil's campaign. There is liltle question but what he is doing hard v.rrk for the Logan county man. Greer will nominate McNeal m the convention tomorrow. A. R. Messick. a lawyer from Sayre. and a member of the Roger Mills county delegat-on, will second the nomi nation. Messick formerly lived In El Dorado. Kansas, and was a newspaper stair m that xown: Thomas R. Reyi. the big, good-natured receiver of th- Hi Reno land office, and cm of the best known men in the terri tory, has been selected to place Dick T. Morgan in nomination at the convention. Reid did not arrive here until tonight, but he was soon in evidence among thv delegates at the convention. Reid was on of the "powers" in the last tutorial legislature, and made a hit in that leg islative body. Morgan evidently made a happy selection when he secured Reid t-. p!ace his name before the convention. E1 Parmenter. of Comanche county, one of the, Judge Jake Robberts supporters. Rill place the Comanche county candidate in nomination. Parmenter is a politi cian who has had experience, and a gath ering of this kind is not new to him. Seymour Foe. general attorney for the Choctaw Northern, will second Rohberts' nomination. FooSe is from lilaine county and :s a member of the governor s staff. D. Frank Johnson, one of Tawnee coun ts well known lawyers, will place I'ird S. McOulre in nomination. Johnson If. a favorite among the peoj.le of Paw nee county, and will mak a rousing speech in the convention. The Pawnee delegation arrived here today and are making things interesting for the fellows vho are supporting other candidates. D. F. Smith, better known as "Fatty" Smith, of Cashion. was one of the men e:rJy Ui Enid, ready for th- convention. Smith is a Robberts supporter. in the CMly days when Smhh lived in Beaver cv ur.ty lie was .me- of the Wders of the leaver county crowd. h0 attended the f t st congression.U convention ever held If Oklahoma, ;ut went down in the fight v.ith Dennis Flynn.

Cade has as many friends in Oklahoma, as any other delegate to this convention, and Is de servedly popular where he Is known. Frank Cook, one of the old-timers in western Oklahoma, came over from Washita county this morning. Cook had a flght made on him for territorial com mitteeman this year, and went down 'in the battle. He is just as strong a Repub lican as ever, and will do hard work for the nominee of the convention. R. B. Steel was th successful man, and is tho committeeman from Washita. D. W.Xlam, one. of the pioneers, in Ok lahoma,. afld a resident of- -Lincoln-county, "was an early visitor in Enid, mam can give some of the -younger jnien pointers In. politics, and. never fail's to" attend a congressional, 'convention; TJlam formerly lived in Kansas, and was a well known figure around Douglass, -Butler county. Marsh Lambert, territorial committee man from Kay county, came in from Newkirk last night. Lambert is inter ested in keeping the Kay county men lined up, and decided to get here early. He was receiving the congratulations of his friends today because of his. having Ron out in the flght made upon him lit the Newklrk postoffice matter. B. S. Barnes, another Kay county post master, came over from Ponca City last night. Barnes was one of the men who had the honor to campaign the territory with Flynn. He entertained a number of delegates last night with stories of the campaign and of Flynn's versatility. Another man who never misses a hot flght is Jim Gordon of Ponca. Gordon want into the Kay county convention and got places on the delegation for him self and a number of his friends. Gordon came down last night and took off his coat, in order to let people know that he was in fighting trim. Gordon is an old timer in Oklahoma, and always goes by the' name of "Jim" among "the boys. Esr-United States Marshal Harry Thompson was much in demand today. Thompson has many friends who wanted to see him and talk over the situation. Thompson says ho has been too busy in railroad matters to talk politics, but he has been doing some "still" work, just the same. The ex-United States marshal is friendly to both McGuire and Robberts. friendly to both McGuire and Robberts. And those close to him state that either would be satisfactory to him if nomi nated.. F.

STATEHOOD IS TAKING FIRST PLACE Quay's Resolution a Live Issue in Senate, IT HAS ENOUGH VOTES Beveridge Makes a Very In definite Proposition. Washington, June 21. The omnibus statehood bill has displaced the Cuban reciprocity measures as an object of in terest in the senate. For the present the concern of senators center around Senator Quay's motion' to discharge the committee on territories from further consideration of the bill with the purpose of bringing it Into the senate- for Immediate consider ation. There is determined opposition to the motion on the part of a majority of Republican senators. The statehood forces claim a majority of two, which would give them thirteen of the Republican senators, the Demo cratic sile being solid. The opposition do not absolutely concede the correctness of this claim, but they admit there are enough doubtful votes to make it possi ble. and. say that until they have ungual! hed assurances of the forty-nve votes necessary to law the motion on tho table they will prevent a vote on it- The friends of the bill haye offered to cease their efforts in case a day early in tho next session of congress car. be named for reporting the. bill to the senate- and for taking it up by that body, but this con cession has not been made. Senator Beveridge, as. chairman of the committee on territories, has told them that if they would leave the matter en tirely in his hands the bill would be re ported early in December. Apparently however, this Is not satisfactory and the present outlook is that uie situation will continue unchanged for a time. There is even talk that tho day of final adjourn ment may be postponed by It, but this is not probable. J3 S7 C2 Ulii., Bears tho j Tha Kind You Kara Atoays Bougii Captain J. V. Admire of the Kingfisher Free Press, who never misses a political convention, was early in Enid. "This is goinp to bo a very interesting conven tion." said Captain Admire today. 'It starts off in good shape, and it is unu sual in one thing, and that is the early gathering of the delegates. The conven tion at Wichita must have had some influence over Oklahoma, for this is repetition of the early gathering of the Kansas convention. Rick Messall. Ivan Conkllng. Ecank Frantz. John Buckles and a number of other Enid men were showing the dele gates a good time last night. If these Enid men fail to provide the right kind f entertainmeni;. it is useless for citi zens of other cities to attempt it. These men are trying to make Enid a good place to live in, and they are not falling to impress the visitors with the fact that Enid is a good town. "Rill" Grimes, national committeeman, was anxiously looked for last night, bu did not arrive until today. He left Guth rie yesterday, coming to Enid from King fisher. Many of the delegates wanted to talk over the situation with Grimes and ascertain where he stands in. the conven tion. There lias boea a difference' of opinion abojpit Grimes' attitude. Many delegates feel that he will take off his coat and attempt to secure tho nomina tion of Robberts, while others feel that he will stay out of the flght as far -as possible and let the delegates settle the matter without any assistance from him. "Sly" Oberlander of Enid is having more fun than any other man at the ex pense of the Republicans. "Sly" Is a member of, the old political school nnd has been through every political eocperi- I ence that a man has in Oklahoma. He does not hesitate to give the Republi cans advice about the situation, and tells them that they must nominate the best man in the party or "Bill" Cross will down them next November. Jim Robb, the versatile grain merchant of Kingfisher, is here, working for Rob, berts. Robb is one of the good dressers of Oklahoma, and brought a clothing store to the Snld convention with him. The fight became so warm today that he pulled off his coat and went through the delegates like the average wheat shocker in the Oklahoma harvest fields. Dick Qulnn of Guymon, Beaver county, came down this afternoon to help nomi nate the next delegate to congress. Quinn has been In Beaver county since the be ginning and is as radical a Flynn man as can be found. During the weeks of the campaign Quinn has been running Flynn's name for delegate to congress at the top of his paper, the Guymon Herald. The hot weather this afternoon caused th delegates to take off -their ets and search for the cool places hi Knid It waa h pTt-at time for Ice vtr attd oth er refreshments.

WHAT PAPERS SAY Paris, Juno 24. Tho Paris papers this morning give great prominence to the accounts of the illness of King Edward. These are accompanied by expressions of the deepest sympathy with Great Britain ir the sudden change from the anticipated rejoicings of tho coronation to the afflic tion and anxiety caused by the dangerous illness of tho country's beloved and pop ular monarch, who has just been the main instrument in giving it the bless ing It so ardently desired peace." The Figaro says: "The Illness of King Edward only leaves room In English hearts for anxious emotion. Tho suffer ing sovereign was always a friend to France, and we respectfully associate our selves with the sadness of his subjects and still more so with their hopes." The Gaulols this morning says: "King Edward was the king of fashion before he became king of England. The king dom of fashion is the whole of Europe, and Paris is its capital.

DEMON MISS TOPPAN KILLED THIRTY ONE PERSONS. Knew That She Was Doing Wrong, But Couldn't Help It. Boston, June 21. Suspected of the death of eleven persons, but Indicted for mur deriag only three. Miss Jane Toppan who was yesterday declared insane, has confessed' that she has killed In her career as a professional nurse, no less than thirty-one human beings. This statement was made to Judge Fred M Bixby of Brockton, senior counsel at the trial at Barnstable yesterday when Miss Toppan was found not guilty by reason of insanity on the charge of murdering Mrs. Mary D. Glbbs. Judge Bixby said also that Miss Toppan had ad mitted that she had set Area and com mltted other serious acts. She said she could not help committing tho crimes, She argued, moreover, that she was not insane. She said she knew she was do ing wrong when she administered poison to her victims and she asked Judge Blx by how under such circumstances she could be of unsound mind. Morphine was Miss Toppan's agency for producing death. Many of the victims were unsuspecting and most intimate friends; others were the patients of repu table physicians who employed her on account of her ability as a nurse. MIsS Toppan was so expert in her knowledge of how to employ drugs and poisons that she was able to escape dotection for years. In this dotalled story, as told to Judge Bixby, Miss Toppan did not enumerate her many victims, al though she did admit the killing of Mrs. Gibbs, Mrs. Harry Gordon of Chicago, and Alden P. Davjs, all of whom died at Calumet last summer. Miss Toppan was indicted Iast,September for three murders, the state electing to try her on thfcLGIbbs' count. Miss Toppan was taken to the Taunton insane hospital today tp. begin her life sentence. Boston,. June 2-i. The llst.of Miss Top pan's victims Is held be her counsel and It is not expected that it will bo made public. The remarkable Incident hi connection with this last is that when was made up she repeated with how of interest the names of her victims, checking off the number on her linger tips. She had spoken of the deaths of Mrs, O. A. Brlgham of Lowell, a life-long friend, the daughter of Mrs. Toppan. who took Jane from a foundling hosplCil In Boston, where she had borne the name of Kelly; of Mrs. Edna IT. Bannister, sis. ter to Mrs. Brigham; Miss Florenco K, calkins, housekeeper for the BriRham family; Miss Myra Conners of the Epis copal Theological school in Cambridge, ho secured for her a position ln the Institution; of Mrs. McNear of Water- town, another friend; of Mr. and Mrs, Israel P. Dunham of Cambridge. She told how she killed each, saying she sed morphine and atrophine mixed in mineral water and whiskey. Some times she used injections, as in the case of the deaths at Calumet. She did not re member how each Individual was killed, but where they were poisoned the drugs were those mentioned. While murder was Jane Toppan's great est crime, there were many lesser forms of mental depravity, each in themselves deplorable. She told of setting fires in homes where she was a nurse or a vis itor and intimate acoaintances tell of peculations of money and jewelry- With the money she earned or obtained one ay or another, she was in the habit of making lavish presents to her friends. To her acquaintances she was generally of happy disposition. She attended a Congregational church In Lowell and at all times was devout.

BOTH HAVE CANDIDATES Bryan Is Harmonizer and Agreement Is Predicted. Grand Island, Neb.. June ZL The Dem ocratic and Populist state conventions met in this city today, the former opening at 2 o clock-and the datter an hoar later, At midnight the two conventions were in a deadlock over the nomination for gov ernors. The Democrats are contesting for Constantine J. Smythe, the former attor ney general, and the Populists tenac iously cling to Matthew P. Harrington Notwithstanding the deadlock, however, the sentiment ts almost unanimous that fusion on tho entire ticket will be brought about before daylight. Both conven lions early agreed to the report of the conference committee regarding an equal division of the offices, the partv losing the governor to have first choice of the remaining offices.' William J. Bryan had been on the ground all day and his influence was plainly visible in the action of tho two bodies and to his good offices is due to a great extent the linrmany which has come out of what at one time" seemed to bo a somewhat turbulent body of del egates.

In the contests held tonight at the National Sporting clob ln connection with tha coronation sport ing tournament Frank Erne of Buffalo defeated Jim Maloney of England In the seventh round. This bout was a poor exhibition, nnd. although it is said that Erne had taken matters lightly during his training, ha had no difficulty In disposing of Maloney, who on several occasions fell without be ing struck and had to be severely cau tioned. Erne did practically all the scor ing and knocked out his opponent with a left on the Jaw. Tho attendance at the dob was again small tonight, few Americans, even, be ing present In another fight Tommy Ryan of Kan sas City defeated Johnny Gorman of Hew York in the third round. Theoe two flcbt- ers were in fine shape. Gorman waa seven pounds heavier than Ryan. The latter! showed greater steadiness and speed than his opponent nnd allowed Gorman to do all the rushing Gorman got In several stiff jabs, but in tho third rooad Ryan displayed marked superiority and landed with his left and right ataoltaaoaaly on Gorman's head.

Manipulation seemed to be to blame for the irregularity for action and the nervousness of traders. Every pit had quick turns now strong, now weak. The gossip that one elevator had July wheat In control; that the Gates crowd had July corn cornered; that July oats were being strongly advanced by manipu lation and that the packing house inter ests were artificially booming provisions made the outsiders fight shy of the pits and left most of the business to the pro fessionals. After strained fluctuations July wheat closed a ,shade higher, July corn Tic up, September corn 'Ac up and July oats lc higher. Provisions closed 5c lower to 17&c higher. Wheat turned firm and after early re ports of harmless showers more rains were predicted. Bradstreets gave the world's visible decrease as 4,500,000 bush els the past week. The outsiders became uneasy over the unsettled nature of the pit and fought shy of July stuff. Local receipts were 38 cars, 6 of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 250 cars, -making x total for the three points of 2SS cars against 145 last week and 249 a year ago. Primary. receipts were 422,000 bush els compared with 456,00 bushels last year. Seaboard clearances were 192,000 bushels In wheat and flour. The seaboard reported two loads taken for export Corn was manipulated almost without the knowledge of the crowd in the pit Early In the session September had a good spurt, partly on bad weather and partly on the boosting of July by the bulls. Too much rain was reported In Iowa and Nebraska. On the upturn September was sold liberally and all options slid back. There was talk that one of the big pack ers who was short of September corn was about to try a fight against the bull crowd in July. This tended to keep out siders awal from the trade.

T.; Gentlemen: I had been a sufferer from kidney trouble for about eight years with pain in side, back and head. About six or eight months ago I concluded ,to try a bottle of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Roct To my surprise -I experienced a decided relief before I had taken half of, the bottle, and one morning passed a gravel stone, as large as a pea, which I still have in my possession and will be pleased to show to any one who doubts the efficacy of this wonderful remedy. One month ago, find ing some of the old symptoms returning I purchased a 50c bottle of Swamp-Root at Dr. Morey's drug store, and before I had taken one-fourth of it I found in the ves- sel which I had voided during the night a teaspoonful of small gravel stones and sand, the passing of which was imme diately followed by relief.

WESTERNERS WANT RELIEF Through Generosity They Want Cuba to Have Rights, Washington, June 22. In the -western horizon the Republican leaders here see a cloud a. good deal larger than a man's hand. It is the clctad o unrest on the tariff question. From president down, the big men of the party are watching that cloud and wondering what it is to bring forth. Ex-President Clevelnnd's, advice .to his party to drop minor and doubtful issues and concentrate upon the excessive tariff and the tariff-bred trusts has added something to the size of the cloud. Defeat of the administration on Cuban reciprocity has put a darker' fringe upon the western horizon. Those who wish to really understnn the remarkable situation now existing here In "Washington should bear In mind that the impending division of the Republican party into high tariff and low tariff wings Is the fundamental difficulty. The western men have talked general tariff revision, have favored concessions to the growing sentiment in the West, at- least to the extent of remodeling- some of the worst of the schedules. Eastern men have replied: "O no, we must not touch the tariff. Let well enough alone. AVe will not re vise the schedules. But this much we i are willing to do we are willing to re duce the tariff on sugar coming from Cuba." "What!" has been the retort of the western Republicans. You will not have any revision on the Iron and steel, and such things, that the' east Is Interested in, but you will make a cut on sugar, about the only article that gives the west any benefit out of the protective sys tem? You will no interfere with the pro tection of eastern manufacturers, but jou will pay our debt to Cuba, by taking it out of the western farmers? Never!" This is the "inside" of the Cuban row. This Is th'o human nature, the sectional ism, the essence of it. The west seeks relief from an excessively high tariff, j The east Is ready to grant it on ono arti cle, a western aticle. The west revolts; and though the president writes mes sages and state conventions pass resolu tions, the party confesses itself Impotent in the face of such a situation, and noth ing is done. A remarkable, feature of the caso is that in the west public opinion does not appear to uphold the contentions of west ern senators and representatives. The west is willing to grant Justice to Cuba, even at a little cost to itself. Anyone who seeks to explain thl3 seeming anom aly must do it upon the'followlng basis: The broadest, most generous, most pa triotic -people of the United- States now live in the Mississippi valley. In the east' there Is apathy as t5 government politics. In the west there Is the keen est sort of interest The oast doos not care if a promise which McKInley mRdo to Cuba is broken by the congress. The west docs care, and the west Is willing to pay the price of keeping that prom ise. 1 Sum It up and you will find that the people of the great west have never been schooled In' the selfishness and greed of the ultraprotection policy. Whn a little shard In Its benefits Is acconier them, a plcayunish. Inconsequential share ex pressed in 'the protection qn beet sugar, they do not seem to care much for It and o not fight for it Thy have not been trained in the art of hanging with a death grip to everything they get ad 1 asking for more, as the east has been. They aro sympathetic with the people of Cuba; they are sensitive as to the na tional honor. They say let the sugar duty go, so we keep faith with our wards. It stands to heason that a people like this the broadly Intelligent and keenly alert and patriotic people- of the great w-st are. and are to be. the leaders of thugit and policies in this country. The peat of empire Is in the Mississippi valley, not only because a majority of the popula tion Is there, but because the public consciense Is at its beat We have at Washington senators and representatives from the west who do not understand their own people. This is be cause they have come down hero and learned to Imitate the methods of the senators and representatives from the east. They have learned to look on the whole thing as a sort of a game to bo played, like baseball, by professional players. They have Imagined they wee called upon to engage In a combat with the eastern teams. Aad all this time they have been forgetting the fact that the entire country, especially their own part of It i Retting weary of too antra protection; weary of setting scbedeie up as little gods; wwary of men who say the fetiches must net bo touched. Men who knew public opiates ia the west say that opinion is for tariff re vision. 15 It can't be geaeral revtefea, let it be on bosbo schedule.

Ldwrence, the university town of our state, seems to be worn-ins over a Carnegie library proposition. Bet ter let Mr. Carnegie and his scheme lapse into desuetude ro-ithniit endowment Carnegie libraries are proving menageries -of only one kind of animals, all elephants. Who would accept the present 6f an elephant conditioned that it couldn't be sold and that it must be fed ten per cent of its cost annually without any reference to Its real market value? A Carnegie library, backed by an ehdotfment-,sufficient to meet its running expenses and to renew its books, would be a nice thing for any town. whether it already had a library or not, especially if a nir.n 1irnn7o etfltllA nr tfffl Were thrSwn in. But Carne gie's gift conditions are honerous, are downright burthen some obligations out of all proportion to the benefit con ferred or to be derived. Th6 cheapest thing these' times, v.noaf .iti nr,rAxvrnr nr nrairie hav. is paper. What vmr!' iw u x with Mergenthalers, free wood pulp, and printing presses buiit on the principle of the threshing machine, books will soon bese,ljing by. the ton or cord, at the option of the buyer., If. we were in the woful fix of Carnegie, be tween ffieevil and the deep sea as it were, getting more camels and needles every, day, every day farther away from the celestial gate, dragged down deeper arid deeper by an insidious accumulation of rhyno, we would donate water fountains, of fine bronze, artistic in design, beau tiful and imperishable, for the quenching of theHhirst of the multitude and of every passing animal, and for the education and delight of uncounted geenrations to come. In other instances, or for other places we would erect monuments to the memory of some local and nota ble worthy. "We would give anything that would defy the tooth of time rather than donate a pile of printed .wood pulp and then burthen the community with an as sessment provision which is to remain a tax-load forever. Lawrence-has libraries galore, one kept up by the state and another by the nation. Tell Carnegie, or his man who is paid to give away his money, that Lawrence will accept an $100,000 bronze fountain with Carnegie's name cast in bold gold letters on it, for ML Oriad, or a $10,000, monument to Charles Robinson, or a statue of John Brown, or Jim Lane, and let him keep his manipulated wood pulp for kindling wood. facts should be fresh in 'the minds of all Americans who have, taken the trouble to inform themselves. Everybody knows that the situation was regarded as very serious at that time. The Cubans, in dire dis tress, mistrusted the government' of the-United States. For a time after the surrender of Santiago it was a ser ious problem how the Cuban spldfers could be induced ito come in out of the woods and surrender their arms. The kindness with which the Spanish prisoners were treated, while the Cubans were kept at arm's length, in tensified the feeling of distrust Finally, this govern ment sent to Cuba two million rations, which were dis tributed amonsr the Cuban' soldiers. Later, after the Cuban Military Assembly had endeavored in vain to raise money with which to pay the soldiers, the United States Congress appropriated three million dollars. This was raid to the soldiers and they in turn surrendered their arms and returned to peaceful pursuits. It was during this period that the services of old General Gomez were of great value. He appealed to the Cubans to submit to American occupation of the island, to the end that Cuba might the sooner obtain an Inde pendent snd stable government, and his efforts were ef fective. There is not a man in Cuba today who will say that the money, paid from the Cuban treasury for this service, was missed. He did more than anybody else to mako the establishment of a republic possible, and the thanks of the American people as well as cf his own countrymen arc due to him. The Democrats in Congress understand this perfectly. Yot in the hope of getting a little more political capital to .use in the pending Congressional campaign, they are caTUng in question the expenditures made by Governor General Wood, and Senator Teller, who is seeking re election as a Democrat from Colorado, insists that .the whole subject shall be dragged into Congress by demand ing from the Secretary of War an itemized account of all the Governor General's expenditures. IFSNOXJ-O.N.G, IT WASN'T CURTIS. A Topeka cotemporary complains that a number of newsif.pcrg "of thS Statu have no warjant for insisting that Chester I. Long was the whole thing in the Wichita convention. Mr. Long makes no such claim himself. But it is quite certain that Topeka's Congressman cut no such figure in the estimation of the delegates as did the Congressman from the Big Seventh. Besides it is ridiculous to assort that Curtis was recognized by that convention as being as great a factor at Washington as Long, or that Curtis was esteemed as being in as close touch with the President Everybody knqws better. The Eagie doesn't care who conferred over the resolutions. That convention was overwhelmingly in favor of endors ing Roosevelt as Presidont and in favor of endorsing his Cuban reciprocity policy, and had Curtis, or anybody else, attempted to sidetrack the said resolutions, as was hinted, they would have found themselves under the wheels of the band wagon. All Topeka protestations to the con trary notwithstanding, Chester I. Long was, unquestion ably, recognized by the delegates of that statee conven tion as the biggest toad in the puddle, and he was so treated. And farther, had the central committee's call piovided for the selection and endorsement of a candi date for the United States Senate that convention would, beyond doubt have named Long on the first ballot .If this bo a true estimate, then why should- Topeka criticize the newspapers or anybody else for giving expression to such an opinion. THAT BILL TO ROB THE STATE. Of that Wyandotte Federal Court bill of which the Eagle yesterday morning gave very 'full information, the Capital of yesterday says: "A dispatch from Washington states that Senator Bur ton and Senator Harris expect the House bill providing for sessions of Federal Courts in Wyandotte county to pass this week in the Senate, which will make this bill a law, the President's signature being taken for granted. "If Senators Burton and Harris will examine this iniq uitous piece of legislation they will discover that there are several objectionable features that ought to be elim inated before the bill Is allowed to pass the Senate. As the Capital pointed out the other day, the title of the bill ought to be changed to read: "An Act to Annex the State of Kansas to Kansas City, Missouri, for United States Court Purposes." By the provisions of the bill as it stands any civil suit in the United States Courts j in this state can be filed and tried in Wyandotte county i if the name of a. Wyandotte person can be put into the sun as u ueienuant. "The ostensible purpose of this bill is to try suits in Wyandotte county, but it is cleverly framed to draw all possible Kansas business to that county, regardless where the actual parties reside or what the nature of the prop erty in dispute may be. 4'Our Senators should look sliarply into this tricky piece of legislation and amend It to conform to the pre tended object of the bill which is legitimate and will meet with no objection in any other part of the state. To give Wyandotte county, an extreme eastern county of the state, substantially jill of the Federal Court sittings, or two-thirds at the least, is an injustice to the people of Kansas.". A SOUTHERN KANSAN IN LONDON. All Europe is puzzled, and old England Is very sore, over the audacity of the Yankee. American enterprise has too much of tba plunger and -promoter elements in it to command the commendation of Johnny Bull or thfe endorsement of Germany. A South Kansas land owner, a nativo of Yorkshire, who has been spending the past five months in London, doclares that there is consterna tion among the industrial classes, and real alarm in the financial circles of England's capital city over the Amor Iran situation. Pierpont Morgan Is estimated as a greater financial factor in thxj world than the combined houses of the Rothsobilds. The boast of Great Britain for a century has been her dominancy of the marine service. She has been the acknowledged mistress of the seas. Yankee enterprise, by a single swoop, transferred the control of everything on the ocean worth having Into Its own hands. London itself is rapidly becoming American ized and its greater interests are falling into American control. Yerkes and -the rest own and are operating the London underground system of railway on the American jtlan with .AmjKlqan equipments and conductors. The Englishman boards an American car as does a New Yorker on the elevated and for tupenco ridjjs till he wants to get off. The Kansas man quotod, who from youth has lived In and known London, says that the change that has come over the city; the way it has bean Yan keeized. within two or throe years, is not only very notice able but very astonishing. American capital is after everything la sight, except the crown and the kingship. As fur the nobility, all that was left of U worth having, lias been appropriated by American heiresses, so that It's no longer British but Yankee blood that courses the reins of English, aristocracy. THE WHOLE STORY OF THE GOMEZ MONEY. The explanation which has come from the War De partment of General Wood's action in paying a sum of money to titaeral Gorr.cz out of the funds of Cuba whHe it was under the control of the military administration of the Uallwl States will be satisfactory to all fair minded Americans. It is pointed cut that at the coccJcsion of the war with Spain the Cuban soldiars, who had been reduced' THE GHOST IN THE BUSH. A BLACKLIST FOR -A N A RC H ISTS.- The manufacturers and business men of Patcrson, New Jersey, have taken" a step which is- calculated "to put an end to the reign of anarchy in that city. An organiza tion has been formed with a membership of fifty or more large employers of labor, under an agreement not to give employment to known anarchists, and to prevent their employment by others not members of the association. Private detectives have been engaged to watch the an archists and obtain evidence against them, arid a black list will be kept, upon which the name of every enemy of organized society will be placed. That seems to be the only practical way of dealing with the anarchist problem. The failure of Congress and the Legislatures to enact- laws defining the advocacy of anarchistic doctrines as a crime renders it impossible to proceed against the "reds" in the courts. If, however, there is a concerted and determined effort to prevent the employment of anarchists, it will soon be impossible for them to live in Paterson, at least They must go else where' or starve. A viper has been nursed in the silk mills of the New Jersey city, and at last the people of that town have awak oned to the danger which threatens them. The result of the measures adopted by the Paterson employes of labor will be watched with interest, and if it accomplishes the purposes intended the example set there may be fol lowed in other cities. Surely the anarchists who are opposed to all orderly government have no place in this republic. The King's censor in London is being roasted to a degree by the literary crowd because he has shut off during coronation week Maeterlinck's "Monna Vanna." There are some flcidents in the play almost as warm as some of the incidents m King Edward's life. The Omar Khayyan Club of London observed the nine teenth anniversary of Fitzgerald's death by a banquet at which the members made humorous speeches. Well, that is the way Mr. Khayyan would have done it himself. Four graduates of Yale University this year will be come farmers, and in thirty years they will be worth more money than the eighty-four graduates who say they are going to become business men. Young Alfonso of Spain has something in him. He appeared at 4 o'clock in the barracks the other morning and took the troops out while the officers were still In bed. Bryan eannot see it cow, but the platform of the Democrats in 1904 will be written by the friends of Grover Cleveland, not the friends of W. J.

The dressmakers, anyhow, are winner. Once a week Ed Clark went to town and regularly, as soon as his business was done, he took himself to the one-story frame with it, "Lagaar" sign over tho door. In front of the wooden building Ed's horse was brought and tied during the early part of the evening' by th town marshal. Ed sat by a table and looked alternately upon a greasy pack of cards and Into a glass of something more wicked than "lagaar' is reputed to be. As a consequence Mr. Clark would come out of the place at midnight scarce ly able to walk, mount his horse with the help of the barkeep and roll in the saddle from side to side like a small boat Id a heavy sea. Usually the horse went straight home, but one nignt m tne tau insisted on turning into a. road that an gled off past a house long- before aban doned to the winds and rain. This house got the reputation of being the ren dezvous, of ghosts with rattling chains and unearthly voices. Lamplight streamed from a wayside doorway unon the path to the gate for the benefit of half a dozen young peophi who turned from this country residence toward the deserted house. Just then the tottering figure came into the illumlna tlon swaying from side to side on horse back. "Let's have some fun with Ed Clark," Sam Kelly said, slipping up to the side of the Krawl girl. "How?" "The hant." "Can he catch it?" the Krawl girl laughed at her own Idea, for, to tell the truth about this old rusty house, every one In tho country round about was afraid of It, and many were the stories told of faces seen and cries heard at the open door windows and in the tenant less passageway. "Where you all goin'?" hiccoughed Clark, reining his horse and tipping for ward against his saddle. "After the hant. Ed,-" said Sam In sol emn voice. The girls snickered and the boys looked at one another without un derstanding. "Yes," continued Sam, tak ing the horse by the bridle, "the spirits get together at midnight and open win dows and trapdoors and holler down-the stairs. We have just been at Dlson's waiting for the hour." "Goin' along. Ain't afraid of no ghost. Not Edward Clark. Hear? I'm goin' along. You can't scare Edward!" So they came to the broken posts that marked the road in front of the red house and tied the horse. Then all were still. H-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o dying away as the wind dies. Sam turned his frightened eyes upon tho Krawl girl, up on Clark and upon the others making up the midnight party. "Let's go," whispered the Krawl girl, sidling up to Sam. ."They told me to be home by 10 o'clock." "H-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o! again came the hollow voice. Ed Clark braced against what had once been a post of the gate. He drew himself to his full nelght and he was a tall man, measur ing six feet in his stockings and cried out in the night to the strange voice: Sedward Clark. That's who. And If you don't know Edward and If you want to meet him all you've got to do Is to come into the road. I'm the best man In the country, and" can prove Again that voice was calling in a mono tone: "O-o-o-o-o-o-o: There was a sound of hurrying heels and a IJttle cloud of dust in the road, as a general stampede stripped alt re-enforcements from Ed Clark, Sam Kelly and the Krawl girl. Probably Sam and the girl would have run, too, but Clark stood in the way at the gate. And Clark was too drunk to be scared. He edged toward the hall door, unsteady, to be sure, but straight enough to stay In the path. He muttered to himself as he pushed open the door, and stood for a moment looking or trying to look Into the dark space be fore him. Somewhere from the depth of the blackness came the cry of the "tor tured spirit" as though some one had thrown a blanket over the head of the victim "O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o." Clark strode into tm hallway. From between his feet rushed. a. .stream of scurrying leaves, rat tling In the wind and striking with hol low sound against the side of the porch. Sam Kelly took a step after his friend, when the Krawl girl caught his arm and swung in front, barring the passage. "Let's go," she whispered, no louder than the rustle of the leaves. "Not till Ed goes," Sam whispered back, trying to follow his leader, who had passed on to the open window in the opposite end of the'hall. The voice seem ed to como from somewhere on the out side. Clark thrust his head out of the frameless and glassless window and held it there for a long time. The noise came in, resardless of his presence or of the young folk at the other end of the cor ridor, with the stair, broken and dusty, rearing Itself at the side. Then Snm thrust his companion toward tho door hesitated, caught her by the arm and dragged her toward the open window. Beneath waved a rose bush, devastated by the season, sighing like all shrubbery will In the wind thnt came around the house. Clark turned about, making rapid strides toward the door, which was dimly outlined in the distance by the stars. Sam and the Krawl girl were close be hind, and when they all reached the open Ed Clark stood with clinched hands but he stood straight, sobered by the experi ence be had just been through. "I'll get that ghost yet," he said, turn ing to his two companions. "Sam, you go 'round that end of the house and watch at the corner. I'll go this way. When he goes by you lay him." So Sam. went, the Krawl girl went with him around the left end of the house and waited developments. There was no do-, nying that it was a grewsome night and they were doing a grewsome thing. The young moon was covered with clouds, but gave light enough for Sam to distin guish Clark's form as he crept around the corner and approached the rose bush under the window. Again the demon be gan to cry his shivery tale, but slowly Clark crept on. At last he reached the bush and thrust In his hand rather gin gerly toward the source of sound which came on unabated. With an exclamation of fear mingled with that of pain and profanity, Clark rose from the bush and made for the corner of the house. Before he got around he met Sam and the Krawi girl. "It's there." Clark declared, holding up his hand to catch a ray of moonlight. It was bloody. The Krawi girl whipped oat her handkerchief and wrapped up the bleeding member, for across the back were several long scratches. "It's there,'" repeated Clark, as the noise began again. and it s smooth and com. OUTLINES OF OKLAHOMA. Oklahoma has learned one thing, about Senator Quay. He is a stayer from Stav ervllle. It will be a long time before Oklahoma forgets Pennsylvania, who has been a friend Indeed. The Osage reservation has a delegation to Enid. It is unlnstructed. but is sup posed to be for McGuIre. Some one has started the story that Bill Cross once ran for congress down la Arkansas and was beaten. This is the season in Oklahoma when the Seventh Day Adventists take great joy In cutting wheat on Sunday. Those In Oklahoma who own micro scopes are now taking great interest In the first Texas watermelons to arrive. Senator Quay believes It Is necessary for Flyrtn to run again for congress In Oklahoma in the Interest of statehood. It is said that the free homes bill for the new- country has been favorably re ported by the secretary of the interior. If Dennis Flynn kept a scrap-book, and he doesn't, he would have a fine collection of compliments from the recent county conventions In Oklahoma. Some formerly of Indiana man in Okla homa should write to Beverldge and find out how he happened to get on the wrong track in the statehood matter. Colonel Blackwell's prophecy for the Fourth of July is all cocked and primed. Colonel says there are only two people on earth who know what It Is. "The paper," remarks an Indian terri tory editor, "is not pulte up to the stand ard this week. The reason is that our human linotype got off on a tear." Dennis Flynn is a wonder. At this ses sion, as usual, more private bills were passed by congress for Oklahoma than for any other state or territory in the Union. Tho convention at Enid today will be the largest political assemblage in the history of the territory, and it will crowd somo of tho old statehood conventions, too. A new town in the Indian territory Is named Spokogee. It Is located right, has hustlers behind it and promises to be come so famous that everybody can pro nounce it right. Tho Republicans in session at Enid to day should not overlook a plank pledging its candidate to treat all cows kindly. No candidate should be nominated who can not prove that he likes cows just as much as BUI Cross does. Some one calls Bill Grimes "The Cy Leland of Oklahoma." While Leland was in Wichita, during the state convention, an Oklahoma man asked Leland what he btought of Grimes. "He is a giant," politically," replied tho Kansas man. Politics is grinding out in Day county all right. David Hogg, the county treas urer, who apparently is an office-holder from away back, writes a letter In which he says, among other things, this: "I un derstand that stories have been circulated among the people of Day county to the effect that tho present county officials have failed to do their duty, and that a part of them are Inefficient officers. Now. in justice to myself and those officers that have been closely connected with mo officially, I will say that I have served as a county officer in every county that I ever lived In. where white men were allowed to hold office, and I never saw men who tried harder to discharge their duties without fear or favor than these men have done, but designing office- seekers who seem to think that the people of Day county are ignorant, and seeking to take advantage of this, are now try ing to stir up the prejudice of the people over an issue that was settled at the May election in even' stock district in the county except one." tfr i 4 "WICHITA'S LARGEST AND MOST POPULAR STORE." 6 Mr sr '4 Today We Open Our I New Annex With a Sheet I And Pillow Case Party Atlantic Bleached Sheets, plain hemmed, 81x90 inches, regular price 70c.
