Fatal Duel,

Tulsa, 1. T., Nov. Postoffice
Inspector Houk, returned from Weer,
an inland town twenty miles south
east of here, brings news of double
killing at that place last night. An
Indian boy came to town about dark
and DR.. Askew and Ed Scarver, both
of whom were drinking, sought to
frighten the boy by shooting at his
feet. One bullet took effect in the
lads foot and the two men engaged
in dispute as to who had hit the
boy. In tho quarrel that ensued, a
shooting test was proposed to de-
termine the matter. They drew their
pistols and commenced shooting,
with the result that DR.. Askew was
shot through the body and Scarver
through the left arm and leg. When
their pistols were empty they resort
ed to Winchesuers and both men
were killed. A man named John
Fenton and an Indian named Han
ley were also mixed up in the melee
and the Indian was slightly wounded.
Mr.. Houk and another man went to
the scene of trouble to render as

Directory Ffends.

A man with a grip entered a down
town drug store and asked permission
to look at the city directory. He was
80 long about his search that one Of
the clerks got to watching him, and
not without results. The man was ap-
parently looking through the business
indexes at the back Of the book. and
whenever he came to page he fancied
he cut II out with q deft movement,
barely detectible. The clerk called the
proprietor, and between them they saw
him cut no less than Eve pages from
the book.
Then the proprietor beckoned to q
policeman just outside the window and
went up to his customer.
"Got through with the bookT he
asked
"Yes. quite" was the reply. Much
obliged. Is there any charger

Feeding Their Dead.

Twice a year, In the first week of
April and October. the Chinese feed
their dead. They think, very sensibly,
that once their friends and relatives
leave this mortal coll they ought to
stay away from this world, and to pre-
vent their return they faithfully trans
NIT to them all the necessaries of life.
It has been discovered by oriental wis
dom that the way to transmit serv-
ants, songs, plays. books and money Is
to manufacture them In paper and
burn them. But actual eatables must
be carried to the grave.
The Chinese are not stingy, and wag-
on loads of roasted chickens, pigs,
ducks. various sweetmeats and fruits
are taken to the cemeteries. The food
is piled before each grave amid burn
ing red, carrot shaped candles and joss
sticks. Then the living PROSTATE them
selves before the dead and beg them
to rise up and enjoy themselves Chi
nese wines are then sprinkled literally
over the graves. while some graves re-
ceive boxes Of cigars and packages OF
cigarettes
But you must not suppose that the
eatables are left on the graves. oh.
no! That would be throwing too much
temptation In the way Of heather
tramps. In about two hours II is be
lieved that the ghosts got the essence
of the eatables conveyed to them, and
then the devotees gather up the offer
ings and carry them home again tc
feed to their own material bodies. But
the cigars and cigarettes are burned
on the graves.

Three British StronRholds Maintsin
ThemseIves--Boers Drafting.
London, Nov. 13.-The simultane-
Gus attacks on Ladysmith, Mafeking
and Kimberley, which were opened
Thursday, manifest full recogni-
ton by the Beers of the fact that
every day, lessons their chances Of q
successful onslaught on any of the
three British strongholds. General
Joubert's chances of reaching PETER
maritzburg can be said to have van
ished. This is already reported to
bo admitted by Colonel Schiel, the
German officer commanding the
Boer artillery, who lie supposed to
have ibeen largely the author of the
Boer plan of campaign, and who, in
an interview, is alleged to have said:
1.-THE Boer intention was to have
captured Pietermaritzburg and then
to dictate terms. But all hope of ac-
complishing this must now be aban-
doned.D
There is no doubt that, from the
Britieh point of view, the general
situation in Natal is rapidly lmprov-
ing. Nearly 5000 troops reached
South Africa during the last forty
eight hours and by the end of the
week from 6 .oo0 to 0GO moro will be
added TO the British strength in
Natal. These will probably be
pushed forward to Estcourt, bring
ing the British force there up to TO-
900 and making a general attack on
Ladysmith by General Jouberr very
hazardous.

supposed to have reached San Nich-

but his wagons are far behind. Col.
Hayes has captured Aguinaldo's Sec
retary, and Major Coleman is in Car

on the way to the province of Nueva
Visaya. The SON of Gen. Llaneras

general barely escaped. A CORES
pondent of the Associated Press with
Gen. Young telegraphs from San
Jose that Aguinaldo did not escape
to the northeast. He and his army
the correspondent states, are sur
rounded. His last orders to the Fill
pino commanders at San Jose were
to hold San Jose and Carraglan at
all costs. The recent encounters are
too one-sided to be called fights
The insurgents are mortally afraid
of the Americans, however strong
their position. They make but brief
and feeble resistance and run when
the terrible American yell reaches
their cars, whereupon the Americans
pursue them and slay many. The
moral effect of the news that 60, 900
troops are on their way here has
been unqestio nably great. The in
surgants are suffering more from die
ease than the Americans are, owing
to poor food, lack of medicine and
the filthy hospitals, with a result
that there is great mortality among
them. Gen Lawton has intercepted
a telegram from an insurgent captain
to Filipino general reading:
"How can you blame me for RI.

ny here are able to fight?"

bon and Capas. four miles north of
Bambon, both on the railroad, and
Conception, to the east OF the rail-
road, yesterday. The insurgents are
reported to be 1900 strong and retir-
ing rapidly to the north and making
only slight resistance. Our casual
ties were Second Lieut.. Davis of the
36th volunteers killed and three en-
listed men reported wounded. A
strong reconnaissance from Capas
was sent in the direction of Tarlac
today. The condition of the roads
and streams render general advance
with the wagon trains impossible.
The enemy appear to be in a demor-
allied condition and show much dis
organization, as indicated by the
captured telegraphic dispatches and
deserters from their ranks.

Smoky Hill Mineral Excitement Con-

Hays City, April 1S.-ProfessOr Whea-

Of Smoky Hill land owners, and now
stationed at Ellis. has made an ex-
haustive investigation of the deposits
along the Smoky river. both in Trego

opinion the country south and west is
one vast mineral deposit, which, through
the action of the elements, was swept
down from the Rockies and deposited
in the basin known as the Smoky val
ley and is one vast inexhaustible mass,
containing gold, silver and zinc The
formation is of such a nature as to tax
the ingenuity of the most expert chem
lists, but a new process (patented) has
been invented. and for the purpose of
testing the matter thoroughly a mill is
In process of construction at Denver to
be completed about May I. when all
doubt as to these supposed mineral
finds is to be expelled.
So much faith have these parties in
the mineral wealth of the Smoky Hill
that this experimental mill is being
erected at a cost of 81 900. In addition
they have invested thousands of dol
lars in real estate, and as they offer no
