RESISTED THE CONSTABLE.
Miss Ella Arnold, n Young Lady of Guthrie, Ok, Dangerously Wounded and Citi-
 zens Threaten the Officer.

Guthrie, Ok, May .4.-A particularly brutal shooting affair occurred in this city yesterday, as result of which Miss Ella Arnold an estimable young woman of 20 years, lies in serious condition. All day long threats were made against Constable Harry Prudens, who did the shooting and trouble would in all probability have occurred had the authorities not spirited their prisoner to Perry. It was while trying to enforce an order of Justice of the Peace Faullxner's court that Prudens shot Miss Arnold. With two other off cers he visited the home of David Hetsch to attach the latter's household goods and when Miss Arnold Mrs. Hetsch's sister, prevented his entrance into the house, he raised his 45-caliber revolver and fired, the ball passing be tween the left lung and the shoulder blade and clear through the body.

CALLS THEM MURDERERS
Gen. John McNuIta, of Illinois, Bitterly Denounces the Men Who Speak at
 Anti-ImperiaIist Meetings.

Chicago, May 14. -''If, by the acts of men living among us in peace and un- der the protection of our government, this war is prolonged so that my boy. fighting in the front rank there with Lawton, is killed, they have murdered him. Men like those who spoke at the anti-imperialist meeting at Central Music hall should be held responsible for the death of every soldier who falls there by reason of their en- couragement, and every man who thus encourages an enemy in time of war is a traitor" This was the stirring climax of Gen. John McNulta's speech at the First Congregational district loyalist meeting in Oakland Music hall last evening, when steps were taken fer the organization of Mckinley club in the district to foster loyalty.

Many old soldiers now feel the ef- fleets of the hard service they endured during the war, Mir. Geo. S. Anderson, of Rossville, York county, Penn. who saw the hardest kind of service at the front, is now frequently troubled with rheumatism. 'I had severe attack lately" he says, ''and procured bottle of Cham berlain's Pain Balm. It did so much good that would like to know what you would charge me for one dozen bottle" Mir. Anderson wanted it both for his own use and to supply it to his friends and neighbors, as every family should have a bottle of it in their home, not only for rheuma- tism, but lame back, sprains, swell ings, cuts, bruises and burns, for which it is unequalled.

A Washington Official Thinks Dis armament Impracticable, but

cULLOM AGAINST AN EXTRA SESSION.
The Senator Does Not See Any Reason Why Congress Should Have an Early or Extra Session-~The Impression Seems to Be Growing That Senator Quay wilI He Seated.

Washington, May 14.-0ficials of the state department are awaiting develop ments in the peace conference. It is known that the president is very much impressed with the idea of interDation- al arbitration and Secretary Hay and other members of the cabinet also be- lieve that some step should be taken looking to an agreement for the con summation of this proposition. Secre- tary Long especially has been an ear nest champion of this movement and when the subject was discussed in cab inet meetings before the departure of the American commissioners the opin- ion was unanimous that the establish ment of an arbitration board was the only object which could reasonably be expected. An official of the state department said yesterday:
 It would be practically an impossibility for the nations of the world to agree upon a dis armament proposition. The only practical re- suit which can be expected is the establish ment of international arbitration board, to be composed of representatives of all nations, to sit upon and decide questions in dispute between the different nations. T his will result, believe most satisfactorily Of course, when ever matters of dispute are referred to it the representatives of the nations involved will be allowed voice in the convention and the dis puted subject will be decided without bias by body of diplomats capable of handling all in- ternational questions. think it will prevent war for all time
 CuIiom Against an Extra Session.
 Washington, May l4.-Senator Cullom is still in the city looking after depart mental affairs for constituents. With re- gard to an extra session the senator said:
 do not believe there will be an early or ex- tra session of congress. don't see any reason at this time for one. Of course something may develop later which will make the necessity If we could get through earlier by coming here in October I would favor such plan. but don't believe we would conclude the session any earlier.
 Senator Quay Likely to Be Seated.
 Washington, May 14.-The impression seems to grow that Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, will be seated by the senate despite the precedents against the seating of men appointed by the governors of states when the state leg islatures have failed to elect. The only reason which is given for the general belief that Quay will win out is his great popularity with the members of the senate.
