THE RECoNVERsION or ORACLE

BILL WALKER.
The longitudinal simmering down of
Dick T. Morgan has brought eddies to
the surface and among the dregs of
optimism, we microscopically unearth
the Hon, Bill Walker, the glasst throat
ed minnie singer of Oklahoma Repub-
licaDism. 1t seems that Bill has been
away from home to lift his sil en- voice
and the result is the following which
we extract from the columns of the
Kingfsher Free Press:
Yes" said Mr.. Walker, Il think
Flynn's reelection is beyond all ques-
tion, Hundreds CT farmers who are
not mem bers of the Republican party,
and who would ordinarily vote against
RepT blican candidates, will vote for
Flynn this fall. They feel that he has
done faithful work that the passage
OF the free homes bill is due to his
efforts; and they are going TO show
their appreciation Of this great boon.
Besides this they are easy, hopeful
and contented. They are satisfied with
the situation and do not care to dis
turb it. If they were hard up, in debt,
distressed and discouraged; If their
farms were mortgaged and the prin-
cipal and interest falling due, with no
means of payment, their crops poor
and the Lookout gloomy, no doubt
they would feel different, Flynn will
not only receive the hearty and unite d
support OF his own party, but hundreds
of Democrats and Populsts will vote
! for him"
And thus saith the Lord The In
dianesque torpidity OF Oracle Bill has
at last been thrown off aud he stands
ont in the full, sweet light OF day, re-
vealing symposium of hope and gar
lie and once more corroborating the
I hypothesis that appetite constantly
worked and culled can overcome mind
But what has the administration to
say about Bill's declaration? And
when did Bill become re-converted to
the school of Flynn thought? What
Oracle Bill asserts is merely vaude-
Vile, but the reason for his assertio ne
is another matter. Either some ething
is suddenly doing with Oracle Bill, or
his mind is leaking

Ex-Gov. Boutwell, makes a serious
complaint against Senator Hoar, whose
lint-cotton conscience is capable Of
conforming to every wind of doctrine.
1t seems that after the aged and affable
senator had followed his denuncistion
Of Republican Imperialism by falling
with all his might on the bosom OF his
"best beloved president" he was made
the object of very severe criticism in
an open letter addressed to him by
Mr.. Erving Winslow. The senator
made q very feeble response to this
scathing document, but in the course
OF that response he quoted from a let~
ter he had received from ex-Gov. Bout.
well, Tn Sc extracts placed the ex-
governor in the light of indorsing Mr.
Hoar's position as well as his purpose
to support Mr.. Mckinley.
This has somewhat ruffled Mr.. Bout
we is feathers, and he feels compelled,
in view of the fact that Senator Boar
/ garbled his letter in the me st extraor-
dinary way, to make pubic state
ment in regard to the matter.
The garbled extracts contained
strong intimations that Mr.. Bout
we'll approved the senator's pur-
pose to support Mckinley and Hanna's
scheme OF Imperialism whereas
the letter way strong protest against
this purpose. or Mckinley, Mr., Bout.
well said in his letter; HE deserves
defeat aud is destined to receive it,
The effort to place Roosevelt on the
ticket proceeds upon the idea that the
ticket is to be defeated, and Roose.
velt's resistance is for the same reas-
on. He does not wish TO go down
with the administration. The defec-
tion in the Republican party-in the
ranks of the party-is universal, aud
your speech will increase it very ma
terially. The president is not gaining
in any state nor in any city or town.
He has no defend ers on the ground of
right and justice. II you, who admire
the president on personal grounds can
not defend him on the ground of right
and justice how can he be regarded
otherwise than as betrayer of the
country by those who have no regard
for him personally?"
We have printed this extract in or
der to show that Mr.. Hoar, in his fav-
orite attitude of falling to pieces, does
not represent all the New England
leaders. We have no doubt that there
are thousands of Republican voters in
that''region who will repudiste the rev
olutionary and dangerous schemes OF
the Hanna syndicate.

rs no THE cANDIDACr OF CROSS.

Col, Hensley, Of the Ell Reno Demo-

over the congressinal candidacy of Bill
Cross. Col. Hensley says;
What has Cross done fo- the Dem
ocratic party of Oklahoma to endear
and familiarize himself with the rank
and file of the party? How many
times has he been laboring at the
polls for the good of the cause? Did
he ever cast a vote in Oklahoma? Has
he got his poll-tax receipt? Who ever
saw him in Democratic convention?
What newspaper man ever heard of
MIN outside OF Leslie Niblack of lhe
Guthrie Leader, and Stafford, OF the

The Leader has made no mention OF
the candidacy of Cross except in the
news columns. Eve are not booming
the candidacy OF Mr.. LOSS nor Of any
other man. TIE convention a,

anything else he likes, and he'll never
touch one OF them unless he's hungry.
A mouse every other day will make a
rattler fat in very short time. When
a rattler is taken into captivity he will
often not eat or drink anything for
months and some have been known to
continue the fast for IA months.
The old snake farmer has never been
able to ascertain how the snakes get
their old skin off. He says that he
has gone to bed at night and left his
snakes without their showing any
more signs of peeling themselves than
sticks of wood. but in the morning
their old clothes would be lying in one
corner Of the cage and the snakes
would be as bright in their new togs
as bright patchwork quilts. The Cal
ifornia rattlers change their skins
twice year. in July and in September.
The venom of the rattler acts diff
ferently upon various animals and
upon different people. Some animals
and birds will keel over dead as bowl
ders as soon as they were bitten:
others live for hours and days. and
some fully recover. Last summer,
near Ell Monte. two mules were Bit
ten, and both died within two hours.
Dozens OF mules have been bitten and
were we'll again in day or two. Hogs
are impervious to the bites Of rattlers.
The venom has no effect upon them
and they are great hunters of the
snakes. They grow fat on them as a
diet. Dodge once had hog that he
used to help him hunt for the reptiles.
When the hog would scent or scare
up a snake, Dodge would rush ahead
and kill it before the hog could reach
and devour it. The effect upon human
beings depends to great extent upon
temperament and physical condition
Some people die in few hours after
suffering intense agony unless re-
lieved by whisky or ammonia, while
others will show only slight signs Of
the poison for perhaps day or two.
It is best on all occasions to follow
the advice of Mr.. Dodge and not get
within striking distance Of the rep
tiles.
