Kill the Woman That Her Form
er Lover Preferred.

GUTHRIE, Ok, July 16.-A few days
ago Grace Allen, q pretty and attract
i've young woman from Altoona, Will

Finally, Miss Allen became SO per-
sistant that the Eckes took her in.
Miss Allen asked that she be allowed
to sleep with Miss Phrona Eckes, an
accomplished young lady, who carried
of the oratorical medal at Edmond
College. The second night after Miss
Aliens arrival, Miss Eckes became Iii.
Miss Allen waited on her and carried
her toast. This Miss Eckes refused
to eat. A few hours later Miss Eckes
died.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Eekes, not desir-
Gus of throwing away the toast, ate
of it and became deathly sick. Sus-
picions were aroused, and Miss Allen
confessed that she poisoned Miss
Eckes and that the toast was poison
ed.
1t developed that the Allen woman
was engaged to g. w. Smith, OF VIII
son county, Kansas. His love grew
cold and, upon investigation, Miss
Allen found that Smith had fallen in
love with Miss Phrona Eckes. She
had travelled all the way from Kan
as to put her rival out of the way.
Miss Allen is In jail at Chandler and
Mrs. Eckes is in a precarious condi-
ton. The affair has created a great

LEWIS IN TROUBLE.
Missouri Republicans Fighting His
Appointment to Office.

WASHINGTON, d. O., July 16.-Col.
Robert Edgar Lewis, recent Repub-
iican candidate for Governor of Mis-
souri,, is having a lively fight made
against his candidacy for United
States Attorney for the Western Dis
trict of Missouri. Strange to say, the
fight is being waged by Republicans
who are near neighbors of Candidate
Lewis. Dade county, Cedar county
and CLAY, contiguous to Henry county,
his home, are leading the fight. Dade
county is said to have adoped resolu-
tions denouncingMr Lewis candidacy,
and Cedar county will follow suit.
Col. e. Glib" Morse, who repre-
sents Clay county when it comes to
Republican Leadership, says bluntly
that Lewis will not be allowed to have
the place.

THE RELIGION.
How the Koran is Regarded by the
People Who Believe in 1t.

PHILADELPHIA, July 8.-The second
day of the University extension sum-
mer meeting was marked by a good
attendance and very interesting set of
lectures and discussions. One of the
best attended lectures was that by
Prof. Jewett in the department of
medieval life and thought. His SUBJ
ject to-day was ''The Koran" and he
said among other things:
"The Koran may be called the BIZ
BILE of the Mohammedans, and is held
by them in the same reverence as the
Bible is regarded by the Christians.
The earthly Koran is believed to be a
copy of the heavenly Koran, about
which two theories have been held,
one that it was created by God, and
the other that It has existed with God
from all eternity. The Koran is writ
ten In Arabic and Is regarded as q
miracle of wisdom, eloquence and
purity of style. The followers Of Mo-
manned call themselves Moslems,
and the religion Islam, which means
self surrender to the win of God. The
Moslem creed is: There is NO God but
Allah, and Mohammed is the prophet.
The Moslems reject belief In the Trim
ity. They regard Christ as a prophet,
sesond only to Mohammed, Moham-
med the last and greatest. the seal of
the prophets. He did not himself
claim to be sinless or to be able to
work miracles.
WThe Moslems claim that certain
passages in the Bible foretold Mo-
manned, but that these passages have
been corrupted or cut out. The Mos
LENS believe In angels, in a resurrec-
ton, a day of Judgment and future
rewards and punishments. The Mo-
hammedan Is promised a heaven of
sensuous delights, but many common
tators regard the terms in which this
paradise is described as a~llegorical.
Mohammed got his ideas from Jews
and Christians, many In a garbled
form. Had Mohammed been ac-
quainted with q high type of Chris
tianity it Is not improbable that he
would himself have adopted it. Islam
has made sgreat progress in Africe
during the last few years. Compare
lively few MosIems have been con-
verted to Christianity, though faithful
missionaries have labored hard among
them for many years. Islam's points
Of similarity to Christianity makes its
conquest by the latter religion difficult.
The five pillows of faith of the Mo-
hammedan religion re: 1, ablution;
2, prayer; q, fasting; 4, pilgrimage:
8, ms-giving. Addition is necessary
before all prayers, which must be
made at least i've times a day. The
washing 3 not of the entire body, but
merely of the arms to the elbows, the
feet to the ankles and the face and
neck. One month of the year is
observed by fasting, and nothing is
eaten or drunk from the time in the
morning when q white thread can be
distinguished from q black one until
after sundown. Some appreciation Of
what this meant can be had when it is
remembered the intense heat Of Ara
bia and Syria, the countries in which
most of the Mohammedans live"
