Both Prof. Parker and wife are Bates coun- ty citizens, and we are mighty proud of the success they ure making. R. M. Shelton, of Butler, W. M. Mayfield, of Sueridan Lake, Cal.,and Matthew Small, Sumpter, 8. C., (brother of James Small the Evan- geliss who was here in May) filled the pulpit at the Christian church last Sunday. Mr. Small is much like his gifted brother and delighted all who heard him. A boy baby arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Will Perry, south of town, at an early hour this morn- ing. Dr. W. H. Allen was present at the reception and says the youngster has a voice like a Democrat. Carry the news to “Grandpa” Jim DeJar- ‘nett in Wyoming!—Rich Hill Review, 28th. Chas, Atherton, of Nevada, a help- er in the round house at that place, was killed Friday night by grasping the cable, which raises and lowers a lamp at the Austin street crossing. Physicians are of the opinion that his heart was very weak, as only 110 volts passed through him. The coroner's jury fixed no abilities. F. M.

Tue Times is atill a welcome visitor to our house- hold, although it {s over ten years since we visited the home ofour childhood.” Ove Harrie was elected clerk of the District Court at Lawton, and Char- ley Board was elected recorder of Okemah county. Both were promi- nent Bates county boys and {nfluen- tial Damocrats here. They are worthy sons of this grand old Com- monwealth, and we congratulate them upon thelr success in their adopted state. R. H. Wheeler came in from his father’s home, near Amoret, where he met with quite an accident. While ufloadings plano from a wagon last Thursday, in some way the piano be- came over-balanced and fell on Mr. Wheeler, spraining his hip and bruis- ing him severely; but no bones were broken. The plano weighed 1,100 pounds, Mr. Wheeler considers him- self lucky in escaping as he did, but {a still suffering from his recent in- jurtes.—Rich Hill Review. The Frisco fast mail trian Meteor was wrecked at Dixon’s Hill near Rolla, on last Monday, when two were burned to death and twenty- four injured, one probably fatally. The wreck took fireand in a few hours only thefrons were in evidence. Fred Chambers, the engineer, was pinned under the overturned engine and was slowly burned to death in eight of the crowd that was unable to resene him. The accident “was caused by the track giving way ona curve, Acostly freight wreck occurred in the Nevada yards Sunday morning.

What will induce the well-to-do to have more children is an increasing sense of their own individual welfare. The considerations which prevent such persons from having families of more natural size are those of crude, ma- terial amusement or else those of half- baked ideas of culture and develop- ment. If our well-to-do people are on the eve of a somewhat riper education, as we believe they are, the size of the family will increase just as living in the country, interest in beauty, free dom from the need of hectic amuse- ment, and other signs of choicer standards are increasing. We have been rather grossly preoccupied with material accoutrements, says Collier's. We bave had a Qerce stack of “at: ding.” Our women have Been cartied into fantastic absurdities by the novel toys that have become accessible to them. We prophesy that the wealthy woman whose thought is devoted to chasing “interesting” things to do, or wishing she could write books or paint pietures, will soon be as ridiculous among educated Americans as Dr. Johnson's dancing dog. Let those families dle out which are most inter- ested in luxury or vanity or shallow and will try to tnterest some of our} freedom from responstbllity: why not? Their place will be take by those which tend, like evolution, toward dif- ferentiation of the sexes, not toward fight against the difference and its consequences. Aerial Transportation in 1914, When Prof. Alexander Graham Pell says it is only a question of a brief period when there will be a perfected type of airship, by which {it will be possible to cross the Atlantic in less than 20 hours, the rest of human kind will listen without contradicting, not- withstanding the apparent wildness of the prophecy. For Prof. Bell is a dreamer who has had a remarkable dream to come true. The United States supreme court decided that he is the inventor of the telephone. The man who conceived the telephone, and brought it to a degree of perfection that rendered it adaptable to every- day uses, will be listened to with re- spect when he declares that swift and controlled air navigation is only a lit- tle way ahead. Very likely, remarks Baltimore American, there will be lines of airships delivering passengers in our Banner exposition in the year 1914. Prof. Bell predicts that the per- fected airship will rush with a speed of 200 miles an hour, At such a speed of getting there New York will be only one hour from our fair grounds, and London and Paris not over 16 hours away. That American women are giving in- creased attention to athletics and to outdoor exercises of all kinds, with corresponding benefits physically, is evident. The fact that the American lady who won the tennis champion- ship in England last year has gone over again, hoping to be equally suc- cessful this year, is made additionally interesting by the further announce- ment that a party of English women will return with her to compete in a number of contests here, including that for the international tennis cup. That will put American players on their mettle. Women are making rec- ords on the golf grounds, also, and in every form of sport in which they choose to engage are developing ex- pertness and getting practice which assure the most beneficial result. Russia is advancing in liberality, notwithstanding reactionary influ- encés. A son of Count Tolstoi has been acquitted of the charge of high treason, brought against him because he published his father’s writings, which are under the ban of the czar’s empire. The Russian edition was burned and the plates destroyed, but the young man was let off. A few years ago it would have been Siberia for his, if indeed he had escaped with his life. Hundreds of thousands of range cat- tle in the west starve to death every winter. When the snow is deep the number increases. The fatalities were unusually large during the past winter. The cattle run wild, and no feed or shelter in the cold months. The American Humane association ts to secure’ such a strong against the neglect of the cat- tunately no one was injured. Mr. Kellogg put a small army of men at work to repair the damages, as the lose of his plants would entail a still greater damage. On a farm near Slater is a herd of elk. One of these recently became viclous and killed another, whereup- on the farmer decided to dehorn the dangerous one. The animal showed such eagerness to do battle, how- ever, that the would-be dehorner pre- ferred the outside of the rail fence, Finally the elk ran {nto a suspended noose the rope to which extended be- yond the fence, This only infuriated {t more and regardless of the fenve it charged. Ralls were sent iiying, but the impact broke the elk’s neck. It had magnificent antlers, which were sent to Kansas City to be mounted. Sheriff Beard brought Clark Sprout before the Probate court on Wednes- day morning on an insantty charge. He wanted to employ a lawyer and fight the proceedings and was given until Ovsober 10th to prepare for trial. Clark ts laboring under the hallucination that this old world has or {s about to slip a cog, and tt de- volves upon him, through Divine {n- spiration to set thing right. He claims t» be a student of the Dutton Divine,Spiritual Decision theory. He has visited every successive prose- cuting attorney and circuit judge for years and Jaid out hfs plans and theories. He at one time secured an audieuce with Judge Phillips, of the Federal Court at Kansas City, and later called on Governor Folk. He imagines he is being prosecuted by moneyed interests of the world, head- ed by Belmont, Morgan, Rockefeller and others. He ts well supplied with Iterature, printed matter of all the proceedings that have been brought against him, and talks fluently upon his theories.
