Senator Lyman Trumbull.

An inventory of the estate of the late Lyman Trumbull, taken in probate pro- ceedings, shows that it amounted to $173, 900. The probate invoice affords obvious proof that every dollar in value of this great statesman's property was absolutely clean. Not a dollar had the taint of abuse from perverted official influence or loose professional practices. Lyman Trumbull's official life extended over period of 40 years. He was a member of the United States senate IS years. The amount of the estate left by him is absolute proof of his purity in public life. It is no greater in amount than should be accumulated during long professional career by any man with ordinary economy and thrift and sagacious limited investments This evidence of the purity of his character was not needed by those who were fa- miliar with his long and distinguished career. But it is refreshing to find cir cumstantial evidence so obvious of a great and pure example. Chronicle.

The Maine Election.

AUGUSTA, Me, Sept. l5.-Maine has followed the example of Vermont and de- clared for the Republican ticket by the largest majority in her history. According to the latest returns, the plurality for Pow CTS (Rep.) for governor will be over 45, 900 and probably in the neighborhood of 50, 900.
 Thomas B. Reed is reelected to the house by over 10000 plurality. The re- turns show . majority of about IF, U1o TOT Dingley in the Second district over 12. 900 for Milliken in the Third district and practically the same for Boutelle In the Fourth district
 In the state legislature the Democrats will apparently have less than half doz- en of the representatives in the house and not one in the senate.
 As was anticipated, the Republicans boiled a tremendous vote and secured many Democratic ballots On the other hand, many disaffected Democrats remain ed at home, and only few voted for the nominee of the gold standard wing. The Populists and Prohibitionist votes have been received from only few towns, but 1t Is evident that neither party boiled as large a vote as two years ago.
 The successful candidate for governor Is the Hon. Llewellyn Powers of Houlton (Rep.). The nominees of the other parties were Hon. Melvin F. Frank of Portland (Dem.) Luther c. Bateman of Auburn (Pop.), Ammi $. Ladd of Calais (Pro. and Hon. William Henry Clifford of Port land (National Dem.

Labor creates capital. Until wealth is pro duced by the application of brain and muscle to the resources of this country there is noth- ing to divide among the nonproducing classes of society. Since the producers of wealth create the nations prosperity in time of peace and defend the nations flag in time of peril their interests ought at all times to be consid- cred by those who stand in official positions. The Democratic party has ever found its vot- ing strength among those who are proud to be known as the common people, and it pledges itself to propose and enact such legislation as is necessary to protect the masses in the free exercise of every political right and in the en- ioyment of their just share of the rewards of their labor.

WATKINS ARRESTED.

Miles, west Of the CITY.

The shooting of Wyatt Will

in Sunday Mornings ARDMoRE-
TIE, was the source of a great
deal Of excitement yesterday,
the facts of the affair becoming
known yesterday morning when
the ARDMoREITE went to its
hundreds of readers throughout
the city.
The only thing lacking in
that account was the capture of
Watkins, the slayer. That had
not been accomplished up TO
press hour, hence the omis-
sion.
Immediately after the killing
the murderer fled and pursuing
parties were organized. They
were headed by ID. +. Booker
and Bruce Hill, divided into
two squads. Deputy Booker
was aided by G. ID. Carter and
George Tuekeran Bruce Hill by
an equal number offearless men.
The two parties went in the di.
rections they thought mos tlikely
to apprehend the fugitive in his
fight. The Booker party Went

Ina OrdeaI-And Facts.

Last Saturday night myself
and 7. G.. Lebus were asked to
leave the hustle of city and
assist in the acts and operations
of life in the country, our invi-
tation came from Mr.. G.. Z.
Hathcox who lives at Ravia.
AS you know Ravia is away
over in the wild woods of the
Chic&asaw Nation on the
Washita, some twenty-five
miles from Ardmore. Lebus
and myself accepted the invite.
We went and found Mr.. Hath
cox at home. He said some
kind of varmint is destroying
the even tenor and rest of this
community and with your as
sistance l want to find the
cause. 1t was night. The
moon was young. But we ad-
mitted he had our company.
Mr.. Hathcox turned loose a
bunch of dogs and we followed.
A short distance was travelled
and a wild cat was jumped in
the woods and followed foI
some time, when the dogs
diverted their attention to a
coon, a four legged animal
which called attention and put
up a pretty fight. He was fin.
ally conquered and ouI business

JURY LAW.-The Jury Law OF
1894 was repealed at the recent
session OF the Legislature, by the
passage of a new law, which prac-
tically, with only a few unimpor-
tant notifications, reinstates the
cid law. The new law provides
that the Judge shall appoint five
jury commissioners, who, with the
Clerk of the Court, shall meet at
least thirty days before each jury
term of court and draw a Jury in
about the same manner as it was
drawn under the old law. The ju-
ry venire has to be published thir.
ty days. Under the repealed law,
publication was prohibited. As
the law now in force is very SINH
lar to the one which was repealed
in 1894 and with the provisions OF
which, all Clerks of the Court are
familiar, there should be 10 mis-
takes made in the drawing of ju
ries. sufficient to invalidate the
veniE'.
