A Convict in a Shoe Case. Jefferson City, Jude 24.—Edward A SALARY TO A DEAD MAN.| A Big Chief's First Oyster. Guthrie, Ok., June 25 —“The first oysters ever seen by the Osage In- dians were a severe test of Osage dignity and the Osage esophagus,” said John Hale, a banker of Chandler, Ok., who was for many years in the employ of the government at the Osage Indian agency at Pawhuaka, where he learned to speak the Osage language as fluently as English. “The first oysters were brought to Pawhbuska, then in the heart of the wilderness, more than twenty years ago. It was wipter, the only season that permitted their long shipment by wagon from the railroad. The agency employees, huvgry for the xvod things of civilization, were jubilant over their arrival, and pre pared for an oyster feast. At that t:me Saucy Chief, one of the wisest, bravest aud most honorable Indians that ever lived, was chief of the Osage tribe. The old man bore him- seli with great dignity upon all oc- casions, and was a8 courteous as the most polished Washington diplomat. We decided to invite Saucy Chief to our feast, and he came attired in his best blinket and moccasins. “The Osages had no name for oyster, and as its nearest equivalent we told him that the new food was ‘hb’, or fish. A half dozen raw, the biggest that could be found, were set before Sancy Chief, who cautiously ubstatned until he saw how we ate them. Then he impaled a big oneon his fork and tried to swallow the new fangled ‘hoh.’ The oyster made quick progress for a short distance, and then seemed determined to re- turn and start anew. Saucy Chief clasped both hands over his mouth, while his eyes rolled in dismay and astonishment. To betray surprise or emotion was contrary to his In- dian nature, and his sense of polite ness would not permit him to reject food offered him by a host. Unable longer to maintain his composure, Saucy Chief arose and stalked majestically into the street, his hands pressed firmly over his mouth. That was the fires and last time Saucy Chief ever tried to eat an oyster.” Equitable Money Paid Officials Who Do Not Exist. New York, June 24.—One of the most sensational developments of ' the Equitable Life situation came to light lat night in the discovery that @ man who had been dead thirteen months and three others who had long eevered their connection with he society were still on the pay rol! The discovery was made throuxh a study of the report of the superir- tendent of insurance, Mr. Hendricks Included in Mr. Hendric k4’s report is the salary list for the year 1905 On this list appears the name of W. Lambert, chief medical director, and the salary of the office is set down at $25,000 @ year. Inquiry at the Equitable offices disclosed the fact that Mr. Lambert had been dead for thirteen months. Farther down the list appears the name of George H. Squire, who ic now a director, and who, until last November was financial manager of the sov'sty, at a salary of $20,000 4 year, Notwithstanding Mr. Squire's retirement as financial manager and that his successor, Mr. Winthrop, has been appointed, the salary lint ot the Equitable for 1905 shows that Mr. Squire still receives the aalary of $20,000. Still another name in the list as printed in Mr, Hendricks’s report is that of Edward Curtis, whose of- fice as medical director paid him a yearly salary of $15,000 While the records of the society show that Mr. Curtis has not been an employee of the company for eighteen months, he {a still in receipt of $15,000, accord- ing to the Hendrix report. The fourth name is that of J. B. Loring, registrar of thesoeiety. Mr. Loring received a salary of $7,000 a year, but at his request, it is sald, thie was reduced to $3,500 a year. In April, 1903. Mr. Loring handed in hie resignation, which was accepted. If Mr. Hendricke list {s not in error, Mr. Loring has been receiving hie salary regularly for two years. itentiary in an unique way to-day. He had one of his fellow convicts shipment of shoes billed for Chicago. He was taken to the Chicago & Alton hours later the freight “hustlers” at the depot were startled by the cries from a man for help. A search was made and he was located in a case of shoes. The case was opened. Ham- mond was nearly suffocated. Ward- en Hall, of the penitentiary was noti- fied and took the prisoner back to the penitentiary. Hammond came to the penitentiary in 1898 for first degree robbery. Potatoes Will Be Cheap. There will be no money in potatoes in Indian Territory this year, says A. Z. English, of Muskogee, I. T. He says that he will have 15,000 bushels on hia land, and will be glad to get 30 cents a bushel for them. Pota- toes, he says, are sellidg for 50 cents on the Kansas City market, which will bring the price down to about 30 cents in Muskogee. Last year they sold for from 65 cents to $1 delivered at the car. The largenum- ber of old potatoes held over from last year is said to be responsible for the slump {n prices. The low prices with a reduction in the yleld owing toa wet spring and summer, have ruined the potato business as a money-maker this year. Hypnotizes Bees Into Artificial Swarming. Philadelphia, Pa., June 20.—Hood- winking the honeymaker formed an interesting teature of an outing of the Philadelphia Bee Keepers’ Asso- ciation, which was held at theaplary of W. E. Flower, vice-president of the organization, {in Ashbourne. A psychological endurance test in which 40,000 or more bees were used took place during a practical de- monstration of ‘artificial swarming.’ The bees were made to belleve thatit was two months ago, and that nat- ure, instead of the wit of Mr. Flower, the demonstrator, brought about their swarm. The demonstration was to show that bees can be madeto swarmeven after the natural swarming period. Thousands of bees were taken froma hive and scattered over the yard, al- ter which the queen of the colony was placed in another hive, and the bees followed the scent just ae a dog fol- lows a rabbit. In all the process none of the bees were touched,-but to show how harm- less they were if properly handled the demonstrator picked up double handfuls and passed them about to the spectators. It {s asserted that by the method of “artificial swarming” better and more honey is obtained and more satisfactory breeding conditions at- tained. Special R. R. Rates.

James Watson in Country Life in America . In all my own experience with dogs I have never seen a “mad dog,” but have never known a man—and by that I mean a man who has had ex pertence in keeping dogs—who has seen one. If, then, rabies is 80 ex- ceedingly scarce hydrophobia be- comes really an impossibility and the fear of it should be dismissed without a thought. A person may get bitten, but in the language of the New York tough, “Forget it.” Ifit isa bad bite It may twitch later on and you may be- gin worrying, so it is a good plan to get rid of the twitching or throbbing in order to forget. I have been bitten so often that I think no more of it than a mosquito bite, and this is what I do: It it {son the hand I put it under the faucet and wash thoroughly,with the object of cleaning the wound and preventing inflammation from any dirt or foreign substance. While do- ing this someone is getting the bi carbonate of soda and some clean rags or lint. With water a cream paste of the soda is made to plaster the wound well, then putting some on @ rag it is applied to the wound and bound up [fin the course ofan hour or more the application seems to be drying a little water {s poured on the bandage to soak through to Admintstrator’s Notice Notice is hereby given that letters of ad- pon the state of J.
