Casualty at Kent.

A railroad accident. resulting in the loss of two lives. occurred last Thursday morning on the Berkshire division near Kent Furnace. The new snow blow was being given a trial trip and was running south i'll charge of Conductor Henry Murphy. As the blow, with engine be- hind. rounded the curve near Kent Fur mace it crashed into the rear of the south the main track. But moments warn ing was given of the impending danger, and the crash came just as Conductor Murphy's s fingers touched the bell cord. It was the last act of his life for he was killed instantly, the nose of the blew going under the freight caboose and that There were eight men inside the blow beside Conductor Murphy; and Assist ant Roadmsster Jerry Nolan, who had two legs severed, died in about an hour. Frank Murphy, brother of the con- ductnr, was terribly injured. but is still alive. George Ott and Richard Tone were severely injured, but are recover ing. The others in the blow, who es- capped with only severe bruises. were Division Superintendent W. K Lyon, Michael Mullen, John Hurley and Tim othy Burns.
 The blame for the accident has not been located but it certainly does not lay with the crew of the blow.
 The engineer and fireman of the blow locomotive escaped unhurt as did also the crew on the freight, who were all farther ahead than the caboose.
 Jeremiah Nolan WAS 52 years old and lived in Stepney, where his body was taken.
 Henry Murphy was 30 years old and lived in Pittsfeld. Mass, where his fun eral was largely atte nded on Sunday, g special train being run from New Haven. Murphy was we'll known along the line of the road and was every here popular He will be remembered among the young men here as the gentleman who came here few years ago to assist the band boys iu an entertainment which, though never presented, served to ac' quaint them with the genial Murphy.

Items OF extravaganza, when II is a VIII
understood fact that men have exceed
ed them a thouSandfold. One of the
ancient Romans had his horses collars
set with pearls and trough of ivory
was provided for him 10 drink out of.
A nobleman, among other useless and
absurd eXtravagances, had 40 ladders OF
silver made for use about his palaces.
In the matter of feasts, men seem to
have gone beyond al sense and reason,
and have gormandized in a fashion

While wealth has it's consolation and
compensations, it has its penalties and
pains. A young woman suddenly raised
TO enormous wealth by marriage was
scandalized throughout her husbands
entire family because she sat down on
the floor to play with a kitten. 1t was
such an undignifed proceeding and 50
entirely inconsistent with her posi-
ton that it was months before she re-
covered from the consequences of such
o serious indiscretion.
Much is expected of the wealthy,
and one may sometimes seriously ques-
ton whether great possessions are
worth the responsibilities that come
with them.-N. Y. Ledger.

HERE Is A ,CKBoARD PLAN
One Whe has Seen il Work Recommends i
for General Purposes.

Kildare, o. T, March 24-(SpeciaL)-
! The Republicans of Kildare township, THIS
(Kay) county met Saturday in primary
convention to select eight delegates to the
county convention 10 be held at Ponca
City on the 24th instant At this primary
no ticket or slate was prepared but some
twenty names of prominent citizens were
placed on a blackboard and each voter
present prepared his own ticket with a
lead pencil. The result was that there
were selected three pronounced Reed men,
three Allison men and two probably for
Mckinley.
This we believe would be true criterion
OF the peoples choice for president of the
United States were il not for the county
leaders and those who seek TO ride into
fat offices on the wave of popular can
didate for the presidency.
The people of this territory hold in high
esteem the names of Reed, Allison and
Mckinley. They cannot forget the great
leadership of Mr.. Reed, nor can they over
look his kindness in recognizing our splen-
did delegate, Mr.. Flynn, in his great Strug-
gle for free homes.
William B. Allison is considered an ideal
candidate for president. Oklahomas re-
member the prosperity of 1913 and sue
ceeding years under the Eland-AlliSO sill
for protection during his long career in
the senate. Furthermore they frequently
mention the fact that Allison comes from
a state west of the Mississippi river.
That William Mckinley is popular with
all classes of Republicans throughout the
United States is a fact beyond question.
No more superb man walks the earth.
With hearts OVERLOOKING with thanks for
Mr.. Reed, with a strong desire TO see d
man west of the Mississippi selected for
president and with idolatrous worship for
the great knight of protection, clearly Ok
lahomanS are hard pushed in their choice.
That mean and despicable advantage
has been taken of the popularity of Nc
Kinley in this territory is a fact worth
mentioning. Six gentlemen who hail
from Arkansas, under the leadership of
Powell Clayton, have been industriously
berating good Republicans for not stand
ing for an instructed delegation for Nc
Kinley. Hon. Dennis Flynn was fully adj
vised of their designs and under his in
strUctions an effort has been made to
snow them under.
The convention at Oklahoma City on the
2Sth inst. will show that the people of this
territory are opposed to official patronage
by way of the Arkansaw boss and with an
entire absence of his cohorts and their
villainous designs the true representatives
of the people and Of Oklahoma will meet
in harmonious convention and sound the
tocsin for an uninstructed delegation to
st. Louis, and for Dennis Flynn and free
homes. JERE JOHNSON.

Wealth and Position Bring in Their Train
Many Undesirable Accompaniment.
Almost everybody who is poor or of
moderate means is given to occasional,
If not continual, attacks on the follies
of the wealthy, and of the absurdities
that people with riches are guilty of.
Great wealth and position, the lat
ter especially, have their penalties
The children of royal houses are re-
stricted in their pleasures and amuse-
ments, and from their earliest exist
ence are receptacles into which pre-
cepts and knowledge of all sorts must
he crammed in order to fit them for
their future usefulness.
In some of the ages of the world, it
was not supposed that a king could do
or have anything like ordinary people.
One monarch had kitchen utensils, pots
and pans, made Of solid gold; another
went angling with gold fsh-hooks. In
neither of these cases was the precious
metal equal to that in ordinary use,
but they were made for royalty and
nothing else would answer. Heirs to
the throne are likely to lead exceeding
~ lonely lives, unless they happen to be
blessed with a large circle of brothers
and cousins who can share their amuse-
ments with them. They cannot play
with the children of subjects, as that
would be contrary to all rule and pre-
cedeDt. They must not do certain
things, simple in themselves. but SUBJ
ject TO criticism because thev d not

feesting of o4den times, as it is de-
scribed, strikes rs as exceedingly ride
ulous, We would scarcely care to
have seen pearls mixed with our rice in
order to give 1t a royal favor, neither
would we care for q salad dressed with
shreds of gold; but these things were
done in those days, and the brains of
thrrshes and the heads of parrots were
esteemed necessary dishes for the royal
table. Beans were served with scraps
of amber and similar absurdities were
INDUCED in, absurdities which would
make preSent-day guests inwardly re-
solve 10 do almost any thing rather than
accept a second invitation to a royal
banquet.
All through the management Of royal
affairs we find rules and regulations
thzt would, according TO our way of
thinking, make life miserable for the
unfortunate victims. Louis XVI. is
said TO have had 50 doctors detailed
specially to look after him. That he
lived was probably one of the most re-
marksble features Of the situation.

At this time when color is generally
used in drapery, even in the sheer mus
lin easement curtains that hang next TO
the sash, it is essential that fadeless
colors be used. In reality there are
very few colors that are sunproof. The
Society of American Artists, which has
labored faithfully to obtain fadeless
colors for their tapestries, muslins and
other textiles, declare they hare found
bnt three Indigo blues, the familiar
color used SO much by japanese and
Chinese dyers; madden red, an intense
blood red, also employed by Orientals.
and iron rust red, the familiar reddish
brown shade made by the oxide of iron.
All these colors are excellent, and can
be used with the best decorative effect

I thousands of homes where overwork
has led to worrying, fretting and des-
pondency, that need only Paine's celery
compound to Danish the unhealthy at
mosphere and make things bright and
cheerful again.
II is the only spring remedy univer-
sally prescribed by physicians. 1t
makes people well by giving them a
hearty appetite and a relish for food.
Hard-worked men and women, the
nervous, weak and debilitated, get new
strength, fresh nervous energy and a
purer, more vigorous blood supply from
Paine's celery compound.
This most valuable nerve and brain
invigorator and restorer practically
demonstrates the lifelong conviction of
its eminent discoverer, Professor
Phelps, NJ. D., Ii. D., of Dartmouth
College Professor Phelps was for a
long time convinced that sound nutri-
ton was the keystone of firm health,
and that where there were signs Of
poorly nourished nerve tissues, and of
thin, pale-colored blood, some means
must be devised TO supply these de-
ficiencies briskly and rapidly. Profess
sor Phelps prepared Paine's celery COM
pound on this basis. 1t has proved an
invigorator, strengthener and a great
spring purifier, such as the world has
never enjoyed before our day.
Tomorrow, or next day, or the day
after is not soon enough to look about
getting rid Of weakness or disease. Take
Paine's celery compound today. There
is no time equal to these early days for
throwing off poor health. There are few
persons who do not need to take a
spring remedy.
Many not downright sick, but tired or
ailing, would be immensely benefited by
taking Paine's celery compound, es-
pecially at this particularly favorable
season of the year.
This great compound will Danish that
tired feeling, cleanse the blood and reg
ulate the nerves.
