Sunsets and stars bring back her face to me;

Where never winds waters laugh or moan

THE TAD STONE.
Where II Is Found-Its Wonderful Effect
While EffectIne a Remedy.

The following is a South Me-
Alester story and as it has a
preacher connected with it, it
should be taken as correct.
About five years ago Rev.
Stamper and others were out hunt
ing in the mountains near
here. The preacher shot a large
buck, and when they dressed it a
stone about the size and shape of
a base ball was found adhering to
the paunch. An Indian standing
by told the preacher that it was a
mad stone. Rev. Stamper gave
half of this stone to Col. J. w.
Edgell of the New Era, who has
had it in his possession ever since.
Yesterday an Italian, accom-
panied by his son. who is years
of age, came over from Harts
horne. The boy had been bitten
three days before by a dog, which
had a mad fit, and which after
ward died with hydrophobia. The
right ear and the right side of the
face was lacerated by the teeth of
the dog. The father took his son
to physician, who said he could
do nothing but dress the wound,
and advised the man to come to
this city and try the efficiency of
the maidstone. This was done,
and yesterday afternoon the stone
was applied to the ear of the boy.
There were dozen witnesses pres
ent, who say the stone adhered to
the ear, saw it swell up and be-
come full of the poisonous blood.
1t was taken off and placed in
milk until the poison was extracted
and then placed back to the ear.
The boy walked the floor in pain,
but the stone kept up its powerful
suction until it had to be taken off
to relieve the boy. This morning
the stone was applied, but it failed
to adhere, and the conclusion is
that the poison has been extracted.
The Italian offered so for the use
of the stone. but the colonel re-
fused to accept anything but
thanks. The father and son went
home this morning satisfied that
the stone had effected a cure.

men were crossing the canyon in a

Created rluch Excitement.

Kansas City, Mo-, July IA
Star special from Tulsa, |. T.,
says: The execution of VIM.
Goings, the Choctaw Indian in de-
finance of a writ of habeas corpus
issued by United States Judge
John B. Thomas, will be made di-
rect cause for bringing those inn
plicated to trial for murder. Judge
Thomas, in an interview last night
20 miles west of here where he is
fishing and camping with party
of friends, stated he would see
that the law in respect to disobey-
ing an order from the United
States government is fully investi-
gated and that all the guilty ones
are brought to justice. The open
violation of Judge Thomas order
has created much excitement and
it is predicted it marks the begin
ming of the end of conflicting laws
in the Indian Territory. As a
matter of fact all tribal laws in the
territory are of no effect, yet all
the tribes cling to their old Indian
laws and continue to insist on self
government.

EXTRADITION OF rRS. RICH.
The Alleged Murderess to Be Surrender
ed to Mexican Authorities.

Mrs. Rich is to be surrendered
to the Mexican authorities to be
tried for the murder of her hus-
band. For days past kilograms
and letters have been coming to
the president and to Secretary
Hay, some almost hysterical in the
strength of their protests against
the extraditiOn of the woman. 1t
has been represented that she is
insane; that there are impending
physical obstacles; that she is in
nocent of the crime charged against
her and finally that it would be
an act of barbarism to place an
American woman at the mercy of
Mexican law and officialism.
All of these considerations have
been weighed, and it has been de-
cided that unless Mrs. Rich is sur
rendered there can be no hope of
securing the surrender to our of
ticers of the many Mexican border
thieves and criminals who plunder
on our side of the line and then
retreat into Mexico, so the preced-
ent will be established.

WILL BE ACQUITTED.
Dreyfus Is Certain to Be, and the Gov.
ernment VIII Hush the Matter.

New York, July lit is now
stated, says the Paris correspond
ent of the Tribune that the present
cabinet has decided in the event of
the acquittal of Dreyfus at Rennes
which is regarded as almost
certainty-to hush up the whole
scandal. This is considered in po-
litical circles to be the vital ques-
ton with which France will be
confronted as soon as the court
martial at Rennes has pronounced
its judgment. In spite of the weight
of authority of NJ. Ribot and of
the influential republican papers
like the Temps and the De Bates
people are beginning to ask wheth-
er such a policy of hushing up"
and shielding those who are respon-
sible for the terrible conspiracy
against an innocent man would not
destroy confidence in the republic.
A large and apparently increas-
ing body of republicans, including.
vi tOuISC, dll Tic IdQlCdlS anu SO-
cialists, who from the very outset
of the Dreyfus affair, have been
constantly on the side of truth and
justice-and have thereby gained
enormously in present power show
signs of inisting on the most drastic
investigation into all the circum-
stances of the Dreyfus conspiracy.
From the American point of
view, the French republic has every
thing to gain and nothing to lose
by probing the wound to the quick
and furnishing the guilty But
prudent and experienced French
men favor the policy of the
sponge, Wipe off all the old
scores, they say, and begin the
exhibition year with a clean slate
Punishment in France usually
means retaliation and retaliation
leads to civil war" Such are the
words of a French statesman who
has been prime minister, and who
has weathered many a parliamen-
tary storm. Whether it has fur
nished key to the policy that the
present cabinet will adopt after the
judgment shall have been rendered
by the Rennes court martial re-
mains to be seen.

THEY ROAST OTIS.
Newspaper Correspondents In Manila
Say Facts Have Beer withheld.

A special from Hong Kong yes
terday, says all correspondents of
American newspapers in Manila,
unite in the following statement:
We believe that owing to the
official dispatches from Manila made
public in Washington, the people
of the United States have not le-
ceived a correct impression of the
situation in the Philippines, and
that those dispatches presented an
ultra optimistic view not shared in
by the general officers in the field.
We believe these dispatches in
correctly represent existing condi-
tions among the Filipinos respect
ing international dissensions and
decentralization resulting from the
American campaign and the brigand
character of their army.
We believe the dispatches err
in the declaration that the situation
is well in hand, and the aSsump-
ton that the insurrection can be
speedily ended without a greatly
increased force.
We think that the tenacity and
purpose of the Filipinos have been
under estimated, and that the state
ments are untrue that volunteers
are willing to give further service.
The censorship has compelled
US to participate in this misrepre-
sentation by eXcising or altering
uncontIoverted statements and facts
on the plea as General Otis has
stated, They would alarm the
people at home, or have the people
of the United States by the ears. !"
The specifications of this are
the prohibition to send hospital re-
ports and the number of heat pros
trations in the field; suppression
of full reports of field operations
In the event of their failure; syste-
matically minimizing of naval op-
erations, and prohibition to send a
complete report of the situation. "
This statement is signed by the
correspondents of the New York
Herald and Sun, Chicago Record
and Tribune, Associated Press and
Scripps McRae Press Association
