sn? WAS A DESPERATE DEED. The Killing of Two Outlaws in Okla- homa. ithrie, Ok., Nov. 8—W. D. For- sett, Ynited States marshal, said yes- terday that the killing of the out- lawe, “Bert” Casey and Edward M. Luckett, near Cleo Springs last Monday was one ofthe most desper- | ate encounters he knew of in his ex- | For six weeks Hudson and Luckett | had been traveling with them assup- posed members of their gang. plan was laid to trap Casey and | Simms by taking them to Cleo Springs to rob a bank. The party camped in a pasture three miles from there last Saturday. “Casey sent Hudson to Cleo Springs to look over the ground. Hudson told Luckett that on Monday morn- ing they would cook breakfast, wash the @isnes and then sit down by the fire to oil their pistols, Hudson ite Casey and Luckett opposite ms. When Hudson nodded his ead to Luckett each was to “cover hisman.” The plan worked without @ hitch, When Hudson “covered” Casey he said: “Throw up your hands, Casey, and don’t goafter your gun, or I'll kill you, for I have the drop on you.” Casey reached for his pistol and Hudson fired, the bullet striking Casey in the chest. Casey fired and missed Hudson, who then fired three more bullets into Casey’s chest. While dying Casey struggled to get aim, but fired his pistol in the air. Luckett was slower in ‘‘covering” Simms, who drew his pistol and fired once, missing his man, after which his pistol failed to work. Luckett shot Simms four times, A farmer who had gone to the pas- ure to-look after his cattle, witness- } the fight. The firing was at such range that the faces of the out laws were powder burned, Had the bank robbery scheme fail- ed, the outlaws were to be led into a trap by attempting to liberate their partner, George Moran, now in jail at Lawton, and on trial for the mur- der of Jay Beemblossom in a holdup near Rush Springs in August, 1901. Luckett and Hudson were released from the federal jail here about two months ago on bond. Luckett is charged with ‘bootlegging’ in Woodscounty and Hudson with rob- bing a postoffice near Weatherford. They are said to have known Casey for a year or two. Their original plan was to capture him alive, but both Casey and Simms were con- etantly armed, even wheneating, and Y this was done. night Casey went away from the mp and slept alone. Luckett and ¥/ Hudson decided that the only way to get the outlaws was to kill them and Atno Time is Man Secure from At- tacks of such disorders of the stomach as cholera morbus, cramps and diar- thea; but these somplainte are com- mon during the heated term, when it is dangerous to neglect them.

Field Norman, Ok., Menke, of the Museum, Chicago, is in Oklahoma’ collecting fossile. A few years aso, near Orjando, many fossil bones were found. They were small backbones, leg bones and a few skulls and teeth. Most of these specimens were sent to Doctor 8. W. Williston, of the Kan- sas University for identification. He pronounced them exceedingly rare. Doctor Wiliiston last year went to Field Columbian Museum. He sent Mr. Menke to Oklahoma, where he Al has collected a number of these bones. Speaking of the animals to which the bones belonged, Mr. Menke said they probably were members of the class known as amphibians, or possibly a few of them were primitive reptiles. The amphibians constitute the Class of animals now represented by frogs, toadsand salamanders. Theextinct bones were much larger, however, than those of amphibians now living. If one can imagine a frog as big as an ox he will have some idea of the appearance of those prehistoric mon- sters that once flourished in Okla- homa.

Ordinarily Macon County goes Democratic all the way from 500 to 1,000. Tues- day she careened a bit, and Republi cans slipped tito five important of-; fices. Mr. Franklin’s manifesto reads: “Whom the Lord loveth he chas- tenth, That was true when the world was young and equally so to- day. Just about the time we con- clude that the world and the fullness thereof is ours by divine right some- thing happens. This occurred Tues- day. We will let that pass, The future is bright with promise for the Democratic party in State and na- tion. We will just pick up our old flintlocks and try ‘em again, and, my word for it, if we all do our duty at the next election the Lord will be- gin to love the other fellows some, and the chastening they so greatly need will be rigorously administer- ed.” Self Protection demands that you be on the alert to see that you get Painkiller (Perry Davis’) when- you ask for it; some dealers will try and persuade you to take something else, claimed to be just as good; insist upon getting Painkiller, the remedy which has been the world’s family doctor for 60 years; it never fails to stop diarrhea, griping pains in the stomach or bowels, dysentery, etc. Large bot- tles 25 and 50 cents, Mysterious Death of a Girl. &30;, Oct 3i-=—Miss hate Graham, aged 16 years, a well known {| 1 U g vis’. 25¢ and 50c.

It is not known whether she committed suicide or was murdered. Several months ago she became in- volved in a love affair with a young man of New Mexico. Her father, who objected to the young man’s gallantries, was found a few dayslat- er tied to the rails of the Southern Pacific tracks. He was discovered and released. The girl’s sweetheart is now charged in the New Mexico RUSSIA TO EXPORT MEATS. Plan Under Way to Establish Regular Line of Cold-Stprage Steamers to England, Russia has fully decided to attempt to export meat to England, and live stock, if desired. At a conference on the subject at Moscow the assistant minister of finance, M. Kavalevsky, declared the government was pre- pared to assist financially in launch- ing this branch of export trade. & “government official will probably be |manager of the export syndicate. Slaughter-houses at Libau, on the perience in running down criminals, | Chicago to accept a position in the | Baltic, anda regular line of cold storage steamers to England are ; among the prerequisites. M. Kavales- | sky hopes a market can be found for | 80,000 head of cattle, or one-tenth of the present annual production, in | European Russia and 26,000 tons of ‘pork, besides fowl. The ships and slaughter-house will cost $900,000, it is estimated, of which the govern- ment will probably advance $500,000, The Siberian butter export trade has already been successfully launched, cold-storage butter trains being forwarded ahead of ordinary freight to Riga, where cold-storage steamers load for England. Up to the present time cattle raising has been greatly neglected in Russia. It remains to be seen whether the poor quality of beef now produced will find a profitable market in England. SEEKS HEIR TO LARGE ESTATE Invalid Shoemaker in Ireland Wants Property If Sister in America Consenta, John Smith, an invalid shoemaker living in Ballinislau county, Ireland, has written the Chicago police, ask- ing them to search for his missing sister, Margaret Smith O'Neill. The sister is the next heir to a large estate of a deceased brother, Ed- ward Smith, The estate is in Ireland, and in the hands of the British gov- ernment. In the letter Smith cx- plained that he had applied to the government for possession of the land, but was informed that he could not claim it until he showed proof that his sister consented to the trans- fer or that she is not living. He said that the sister left Ireland some time ago, and had been at the home of an uncle, W. MeDowd, at 341 Hoyne ave- nue, Chicago, A number of years ago Private Ed- ward Smith, of the First battalion, Connaught rangers, died, leaving an estate to his sister, Margaret Smith O'Neill. The sister had then left for the United States. John Smith, the brother, said that he wished to get possession of the estate because he is an invalid, has no money and will soon be forced to give up work. London to Have Society Called the “Pilgrims” to Promote Interna- tional Good Fellowship. London js soon to have another Anglo-American club, but on entirely different lines from the Anglo-Ameri- ean club which has been talked about, cables the London correspondent of the Herald. Well-known men of America and the Carlton hotel on Friday to discuss the plans, and from the interest displayed it seems most probable that the mat- ter will be carried through. The object of the club—which prob- ably will be called the Pilgrims—is to promote international good fellow- ship. The qualifications for member- ship are public service, literary or artistic achievement, journalistic work, extensive travel and frequent travel across the Atlantic. It will be conducted somewhat along the lines of the Gridiron club, at Washington. Headquarters will be established in New York and London. In England it is proposed to have one American member to three Eng- lishmen, and in America the inverse ratio. The membership fees are to be small. PRAYERS BETTER THAN CASH. Ellen Stone Tells Luther League at St. Paul How She Escaped from the Brigands, Ellen M. Stone, the missionary held captive by Bulgarian brigauds so many months, and who wae finally ransomed by money subscribed ip the United Stdtes, was one of the speak- ers at the sessions of the Luther league at St. Paul.

Seciety to Be Known as “the Kiss and Will Wage a Warm Campaign Against Practice of Osculation. Shunners” An antikissing society is the latest in Evanston, lll. It now has 15 mem- bers, all students of Northwestern university, and at its first. nieeting rejected some of the applicants for membership because they would not take the strong vows of opposition to osculation, . The name of the society will prob- ably be “The Kiss Shunners.” It held its first meeting the other evening at the home of Edna Philip, and there resolutions were presented, officers elected, new members admitted, and the future of the society discussed. The society was organized July 4. It was the result. of a visit. by some of the tharter members to Lincoln park, when, it is said, they were shocked at the free indulgence in pleasures oscu-! latory by many of the swains and their! best girls. Two names have been suggested for the new organization, One, “The Kiss Shunners,” is advocated by those who | believe that the members should work openly, The other is “The Evanston Outing club,” favored by those whe think greater good will be accom-! plished. if the work is carried on se- eretly. Roth names were proposed at the meeting the other evening, and the de- hate over them was so strong that neither was adopted, although the ad- voeates of “The Kiss Shunvers” were gteatly in the majority, The following resolutions were presented: Realizing that kissing ts very demoralta- | ing and detrimental anc that ft is con- tagious, we, the uncersign tudents of Northwest university, fo Ing t PX of our belov that wo w pfrain m hat we w iry to persuade others to refrain These “lutions were presented but lack © prevented their bing aetd upon, and they were referred toa committe, At this meeting a seng was also submitied, the chumis—ef<wlhieh dwells on the determination of the si rs to refrain from kissing. i song, it ts said, will he sung at every meeting before the taking up of other business, It ts I that the selection of a baegwe has heen ceter mined upon, and thet it will be worn upon the right arm of each member Just what the Cesien of the badge is to be has not heen determined, Every applicant must affirm that he or she is an “antiosculator” before being ad- mited. FORCED TO WORK BY WOMEN. tranded by Wrecked Train as Aid in Harvesting at Point of Shotguns, Tramps have ‘been pressed into service as harvesters in the section of Kansas about Wichita, Fifty or more-of the “hobo” fraternity were captured by irate farmers near Pratt, and all day long they were forced to Tun binders and carry bundles_by armed guards. The strange part of the proceeding was that the guards were women. The deficiency of farm hands in Pratt county alone was 2,000, while the state was short about 10,000 men. David W. Blaine, the harvest hand importer, had arranged for all the men for Pratt county. The men, how- ever, were captured by farmers along the line. Late at night a freight train west- ward bound was wrecked near Pratt. There were 50 or 60 tramps on it go- ing to Colorado, The farmers heard, of it and they tried to employ them at $2 per day. Very few of them Were wt 4 7 s0-F shot- gun persuasion they were distrib- uted among the farmers. FINDS LOCUSTS NOURISHING. Dr, Gustave W. Lehman, Baltimore Health Official, Recommends Them as Food, Dr. Gustave W. Lehman, analytical chemist of the health department, an- nounced the other day that locusts are good to eat; good in th sense that they contain a considerable amount of nourishment. “I have been making analysis of the locust,” said the chem- ist, “and I find that the insect has properties that recommend it as an article of food for those who like that kind of diet. Personally, I cannot say that I have ever tasted it, nor have I any ambition to do so, but this does not prevent me recommending it to others as nourishment for those who relish dishes of this character.” Imitating the Liberty Statue, There is talk of erecting at the en- trance to Sydney harbor as a monu- mental tribute to the triumph of fed- eration a colossal statue of “Australia Facing the Dawn,” a sort of rival to “Liberty Enlightening the World,” on the island in New York bay. Funds, however, have not been forthcoming and now it is reported that one of the principal advocates of the project has written to Lord Rosebery suggesting that a contribution from the £3,000,- 000 left by Cecil Rhodes to “promote the consolidation of the English- speaking people” might be legitimate- ly allocated to this purpose.

FAST TURBINE YACHT. In a Lively Race at New York, the Yacht Revolution Side-Wheeler New Steam Beats Speedy The new steam yacht Revolution, | the first craft of the kind to be fitted out with turbine engines, fell in with the speedy Monmouth, of the Sandy Hook line the other afternoon and im a lively 20-minute race from RKob- bins reef to Swinburne island won by a good length from the blue rib- bon holder among the harbor fliers. The Revolution was launched last summer from the Charles L. Seabury works at Morris Heights and the adaption of turbine principles to its engines was invented and applied by Charles G. Curtis, who was on board the other day. While its owners claim the vessel was not built for speed purposes, was decided to put it against the Monmouth, whose speed is figured at 20 knots. The Revolution forged ahead inch by inch and was lying ‘close to windward with the expecta- tion of crossing the Monmouth's bows. Just off Swinburne island, however, the side wheeler St. Johns came up on the way from Atlantic highlands and the Revolution fotced to turn its course to star board, and the race was over. Then Capt. Champlin and Engineer Kenney did “stunts” with the turbine boat. In 26 seconds the yacht was brought to a dead stop from full speed ahead, and while traveling at was | its cruising speed of 16% knots it was turned in a little more than its own length, BEYOND THE CENTURY MARK. If Claim of Colored Woman at Wash- ington Is Valid She Is Probably Oldest Person in Country. Washington shelters probably the oldest person in the United States, if the statements of a highly respect- ed colored woman are accurate, Mary Etta Davis claims to have been born on March 2, 1777, which would make her 125 years of age. She was born in Maryland, and says that de- scendants of her master have found recorded data to sustain her claims, She remembers Washington's first in- auguration, the war of 1512, the me: teoric shower of 1700, and other hap- penings in our early history as a na- tion. There are several discrepancies in hér statements, however, She says she was married at 35 und that her husband died during the civil war before they had celebrated — their thirty-seventh wedding anniversary. Assuming that he died in 1561, Mrs, Davis would now be 112 ld, if she is not mistaken cone g her age at marriage. She enjoys good health, is wonderfully active, has good eyesight and assists in the dis- charge of household duties about her home. SAYS AIRSHIP IS SUCCESS. T. OQ Benbow, a Montana Man, Chal- lenges Santos-Dumont to a Unique Race, T. €.

Benbow, says that his balloon is completely dirigible, and he recent- ly challenged Santos-Dumont to a unique trace over a course set with hurdles, some of the obstacles being placed on the ground and some sus- pended in the air, the balloons to be ternately steered over and under the hurdles.

Mrs. Schaller, who found herself un- able to support her ten-year-old son in Germany, toiled until she had saved up enough to send him to relatives in America. She accompanied him on board a steamer at Bremen, but was unable to bear the separation when visitors were ordered ashore and se- creted herself below. A_ relative promised to see that she will not -be- come a public charge and one of the stringent emigrant rules was relaxed in her favor. Exports of Porto Rico, Exports from Porto Rico to for- eign countries for the fiscal year ended June 30 increased 54 per cent. over the total of such exports for last year; the increase in the is- land’s exports to the United States was 48 per cent. over the total for the last fiscal year. Sugar, tobacco and hats formed the principal ar- ticles of export. The customs re- ceipts for the last fiscal year reached $800,000, and the balance from the insular revenues was in- creased by $240,000.
