Jones, of the Choctaw Nation, in an in
,erview as to his purpose regarding the
execution of the sentence upon the
nine Choctaws convicted Of several
political murders and sentenced to De

TO permit OF his hearing arguments for
a new trial. II the judge declines to

the execution OF the sentence. The
Governor replied: ''As the chief execu-
tive, will call out every member OF
the militia and all the sherifis and light

are executed. You can say that they
will be executed, as am going 10 see
that every officer does his duty in this
matter. When one refuses TO act l

oueer assaults ON Women.

The authorities of Bergen county, \.

cases OF assault that have been reported.
One comes from Ramseys. and it Is
stated that on las, Saturday night Mrs.
Charles Van Diem went TO her front
stoop to set out the mill, pail, when
she was assaulted by an unknown per

ant was.
Mrs. Van Diem ran screaming to the
bouse of Joseph Stoker, q shoemsk-
er where she fell fainting in the door
way.
When Dir. Van Diem returned home
he manifested great uneasiness about
the occurrence but is said TO have taken
no active means 10 ascertain who the
a.sailant was. Mrs Van Dien can only
saw that she thinks it was a tall person
wearing glasses.
Citizens OF the town who have taken
an interest in the matter refer to a
blonde grass widow and intimate that
Mrs. Van Dien;s assailant was woman
in mans attire.
Mrs. Van Diem, her husband and the
grass widow could not be seen.
but it is reported that special detec-
tive is working up the case, and inter
csting developments are expected.
John G. Webb, justice Of the peace,

a table at River Edge with her reputed
husband, each counting their cash:
Shunah said he had 1924 while he had

her. She ran out of the house, follow
ed by her assailant, who threw her
over an eight foot embanKment on a
heap Of stone, injurirg her so that she
became unconscious.
Her companion made no effort to
protect her, but afterward assisted her
to the house. There she found her
money gone. Her alleged husband de
clared that be knew nothing about It's
disappearance.
When Justice Webb was apprised OF
these facts he made an inquiry, which

A SNAKE IN THE CARRIAGR.-On
Sunday last Treasurer B. S. Wood
started in his carriage to church at Flint
Hill with his two daughters, says the
Rappahaunock Guide. and while going
down the first steep hill his daughters
cried out: "Look at that snake" Mr..
Wood naturally looked out on the side
of the road. They told him to look in
the carriage. Turning he saw a me-
dunn sized snake crawling from the car
riage curtain, which had been rolled
up. The snake tried to get back in the
curtain, but Mr.. Wood struck it with
his hand, knocking it out of the car
rage, and then Killed it. 1t was a
house moccasin. He concluded that
the snake had dropped on top Of the
carriage and then crawled in the roll
of the curtain. Not very agreeable
company to attend public worship.

Lost HA Wife at Poker.

Edward r. Thompson, Of Rundout,
y. Y, has concluded that he made a
bad bargain in letting neighbor take
his wife, Kate, for forty-fve cents. The
worst Of il was that he did not get any
equivalent, as he lost the money in a
game Of poker.
Young Thompson engaged in a
friendly game of poker at the house OF
al" West, in the town Of Sawkill, last
week. There was very little money in
the party and cards were running high.
Thompson in one pot backed flush
against four OF kind to such an extent
that ne lost all he had and offered an
O L for fortv-fve cents.
In Joking manner West said =
s'I'll cash your o L if you give me
Kate-that is, I'll call it square for
Kate"
"It's CO., said Thompson in half
drunken mood.
As West won he claimed Kate.
Thompson went home and told his
wife.
"I'm glad of it, she said, and the
next morning she went to Vests house,
and she has been there ever since, liv-
ing as Mrs. West, and she has several
time refused TO go back to Thompson,
although he has made all sorts Of IL
ducement. She says she is better salts
fed where she is, and she would not
leave West for the whole Thompson
family.
81 NAV have been sold for forty-fve
cents" said she, "but am worth more.
That was my husbands price. I'm
nothing but an ignorant country girl,
but have my good qualities and some
men appreciate them. / am satisfied
to be Mrs. West. Thompson never did
much for me and West is nice fellow.
l have never thought whether l was
violating the law in exchanging nus.
bands. Other people do, why not l 2"
"The sale was only joke as far as |
was concerned, but she takes it solemn
ly and certainly intends to stay with
West" said Thompson to me. 81 don't
care though. Her younger sister says
she will marry me if Kate gets a di-
voce. l don't care whether it's Kate or
Mary"
The Ulster county authorities have
paid no attention to the matter up to
the present time.
sgd" Thompson's father and old
s'To1n'' Pliney were early settlers in the
the same neighborhood, at the foot OF
the Catskills. Their children met fire.
quently. and Pliney, who made money
fast, had two pretty daughters.
Kate, the eldest, had wealth of au-
burn hair, big hazel eyes and bewitch-
ing smile.
Among her admirers was young
Edward Thompson. He had been to
school in Albany and the neighbors
thought he knew thing or two. He
courted Kate and in due course of time
they were married. Young Mrs.
Thompson had always entertained a
high regard for Charles West, one of
Thompson's rivals.
Old Mr.. Thompson made things pleas
ant for her at the Thompson homestead
after her marriage and everything went
well until Edward began to stay out
late at night. A villager one day told
Mrs. Thompson that her husband was
escorting her younger sister about to
balls and parties. Then she entered g.
formal complaint to the head of the
Thompson household. The old man
made excuses to the young wife.
Things went from bad to worse, until
the game of poker resulted in MIS-.

THIS YEARS BATHING SuIr.-The New
York summer girl wears pretty bathing
suit this year at the watering places near the
city sThe prevailing color is blue, but they
are trimmed with red or green, and sometimes
are Of stripes, like the blazers worn by young
men few seasons ago. The skirt is worn
even shorter than in previous seasons and
many of the suits seen at Long Branch, Sea
bright and Rockaway are cut as low in the
neck as society woman's ball dress. The
greatest diversity OF taste is shown IN the Sc
lection Of stockings. An effort has been made
in New York TO introduce the stocklngless
bathing suits, French style, but up TO date no
one mas appeared in any OF the fashionable
places Whereabouts, except men, without stock
ings. Dark costumes are the prevailing color,
but stripes are much in favor, especially
among those female bathers to whom nature
has not been conspicuously generous. A
striking suit seen few days ago at Long
Branch on one of the bellies of that place was
o. blue, trimmed with red. The skirt was
short. reaching TO within three inches Of the
knee, and also trimmed with red, narrow
border The neck was low. The sleeves, Of
course, were also short Stockings with yell
low stripes were worn, the stripes being rather
narrow. The wearer of this outfit was an ex
cellent swimmer, and the bathing master said
she came from the South.

NEW POSTAL CARDs.-Postmaster
General Bissell has decided to abandon
the three sizes of postal cards now in
use and to substitute one size for both
single and reply cards. With that pur-
pose in view the specifications, which
have been sent to prospective bidders
for the contract of furnishing the postal
service with cards during the next four
years, call for single cards of the uni
form size of three and one-half by FIVE
and one-half inches. This is what is
known as the international size, it be-
ing used generally by the countries
comprising the the international Postal
Union. The double or reply card now
in use will be continued, with the size,
when folded, reduced to that of the in
ternational card. These two cards will
take the place of small or ladies' card,
the medium and the large card and the
large return card.

MoRMoNs MAKING Converts N

John Page, father Of Thomas Nelson
Page, the author, headed q committee
who drove two Mormon missionaries
out of Hanover county. The two re-
turned, reinforced by eight others, in
Guiding the president of the organiza-

more are coming. They have made
about twenty or thirty converts, and
the people are thoroughly awakened to
the situation. While the Mormons
work within the limits of the law, they
cannot take any steps against them,
and they are bitterly opposed to any
illegal methods to drive them of. The
Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians,
Episcopalians and the people in gener-
al have formed a non-sectarian Sun
day-school, with Major John Page as
president and C. II. Coakley as secre-
tary, and are using this means to de-

WHOLE FAMILY PoIsoNED.-New
Castle, Craig county, was thrown into
state of violent excitement Tuesday
by an attempt to poison the members
of the family Of Mr.. John F. Grips, Of
Craig City. While the family were alb
sent for an hour or so, some miscreant
placed strychnine in the pail Of water
used for cooking purposes. Immediate
" after partaking of food prepared
with this water Mr.. Grips. his wife
and daughter Edith were taking with
violent commissions. DR.. B. H. Tai
mer was hurriedly sent for and prompt
" administered antidotes. Through
his prompt action all the affected per-
sons were finally beyond immediate
danger, though Mrs. Grips is still
very i'll. The remainder of the sus-
pected food was by mistake thrown to
the hogs, and two them who ate of it
died with all the symptoms Of violent
poison. There is no clue as to the per-
petrators of this dastardly attempt,
and the family are at loss as to any
reason, as no threats have been in
dulged in by any one, and Mr.. Grips,
who is quiet and valuable citizen, has
not known enemy in the place.
