MERCHANTS VICTIMIZED.
Slick swindler Stopped over at Tn

Slick Swindler Stopped over at This
City on His Way to New York.
clever swindler has evidently been
working this city lately, but 1t is also
evident from reports whichN came from
Bridgeport and Norwalk that he left
before the police got onto him. His
modus operandi consisted of hiring a
fiat on Dwight street and purchasing
goods from dealers about the city for
which he rendered bogus checks The
checks were drawn upon the First and
Merchants National banks of Winano
Mimi, and in each case the stranger
purchased goods aggregating very
nearly the amount for which they were
drawn.
The Dwight street house was hired
of w. G. Braley, who accepted one of
the checks in advance payment of rent
The stranger gave his name as Will
liam T. Morgan and under this name
he purchased furniture to the amount
of $S5 from H. B. Armstrong & Co.,
rendering similar check in payment.
The firm of Canada & Robertson We're,
so far as is known, the only other firm
In this city to be victinized. Here the
stranger bought a large trunk costing
Sc and rendered a check for $3.50 in
payment. AS the check appeared per-
fectly regular Mr. Canada accepted it
and gave him $3.50 in change
From Bridgeport comes stories show
ing that the willy Morgan made that
city his next stopping place after leav-
ing here. His rogueries had just begun
to be heard Of in that city when a wall
was heard from the sister city Of South
Norwalk 1t is believed that the man
was bound for the metropolis and he is
probably taking a well earned rest in
the big city by this time

self had felt so even more strongly.
Years before, when the czarowitch
first spoke of love to her, she had not
listened, because of her horror of hav-
ing to change her creed, in which she
is said to have devoutly believed, and
her strong religious nature had only
rooted this objection deeper and deeper
as the years went by. What happened
at Walton, how passonately the devo-
ted Nicholas pleaded, we do not know.
But we know that year afterWard, at
the wedding of her brother, the Grand
Duke Ernest of Hesse. and Princess
Victoria Melta of Coburg, the betrothal
was publicly announced. The czaro-
witch had turned up at Coburg at the
last moment, not having been expected

parents as he started. A day or two

lover with tears in her eyes. She gave
vent to her religious scruples before
her brother. You do not love him
them" said the Grand Duke Ernest;
and the answer, oh yes. 1 do, L do
showed how painful the struggle in her
mind must have been.
The queen was the first to be informed
of the news that the czarowitch had
proposed and been accepted, and there
was great joy among their friends that
at last the long wooing was over. Then
came the illness of Alexander Ill and
the princess was summoned to Livadia
to nurse the dying car. When the
monarch passed away, and her lover
was emperor of Russia, Princess Alix
wore no signs Of mourning. 1t was a
happy thought of the widowed empress

TOO MUCH HONEY.
Pals on the Palat e.

man ate heaping saucer of
Grape-Nuts every morning because
they tasted so good
In about ten days he began to turn
against the food and finally lost the
pleasure of his favorite dish alto
gether.
The same thing happens to child
who eats too much honey or candy,
or any other good thing. The system
gets more than it needs and nature
revots, in order to prevent further
overlooking. Grape-Nuts furnish
condensed food, and when eaten in
moderation, give one a delicious dish
every morning that is looked forward
to with pleasant anticipation. When
not more than three heaping tea
spoons are used at meal, the sys-
TEN quickly absorbs all of the nutri-
ment and the person discovers this
fact by his improved feeling of health
and strength. Use Grape-Nuts stead
lily, but avoid excess.

PULITZER'S HOME DESTROYED
BY FIRE.

Bodies Of the Housekeeper and Cover
Ruins
New York, Jan. 9.-The handsome
dwelling at No 10 East Fifty fifth street
owned and occupied by Joseph Pulitzer,
the proprietor of the New York World,
was destroyed by fire to-day and at
least one life was lost. When the flames
had been extinguished and search was
made of the ruins. the bodies of two
women were found, badly burned One
was identified as that of Mrs. Jellett,
the housekeeper, and the other was be-
lieved to be that of Miss Elizabeth
Montgomery a governess. In one hand
Mrs Jellett clutched a small bag into
which, it is believed, she tried to thrust
some Of her personal effects before leav-
ing her room.
The loss is estimated at 100000.
At the time the fire began the dwell
ing was occupied by Mrs Joseph Pulltz-
er; her daughters, Edith. fourteen
years old, and Constance, twelve, and
Mrs. Pulitzer's baby son, two months
old, who is to be christened Herbert,
and the servants. Mr.. Pulitzer and
one son are at Lakewood, N. J.
Mrs. Pulitzer was awakened by the
smoke and alarmed the house and
saved her two children who were in an
other room and then rescued her baby
and the baby's nurse. O'Conner, the
butler, was reused by Mrs. Puitzer's
cries and with another servant escaped
by getting to the roof of the next
house where he sank down exhausted
His companion servant conducted him
to a place of safety. Mrs. Jellett was
widow and has children in Canada.

TERRITORIAL STATEHOOD.
An Official Now In Washington Gives
Views on the All Absorb.
Ing 0aestIon.

The Washington, D. c., Times
in a recent issue says; Mr.. @. N, ,
Campbell, clerk of the United
States district court at Ardmore,
Indian territory, is in the city on
private business before the depart
menls. Mr.. Campbell is one of
the staUnch advocates OF the bill
now before congress, to make Okla
homa state.
Speaking of this proposition, he
said that the people of Indian
territory want TO see Oklahoma
admitted as state, with the pro-
vision that, at some future time,
the Indian territory is to be made
a part of the same state. He says
there are two parties in the teni-
tory, one favoring single statehood
and the other double statehood.
He says. however, that both part
les will be satisfied if Oklahoma is
admitted to the union, with pro-
vision above mentioned. Speak
ing Of matters concerning the
Indian territory BIS said;
"No white persons can own
land In the territory, except that
which rs within the incorporated
limits of some town. When the
Dawes commission is through al.
loting aand, then the whites can
own property in any section of the
territery. The Indians will be
allowed to sell one-fourth of his
allotment the second year after
the allotment is made. Atcertain
lnterGais he will be allowed TO dis
pose of sections of his lands. To
prevent him becoming an add.
tionai teare to the government,
however, it is provided that he
must retain 160 acres of land for
his ownuse. This he cannot sell.
When the allotments have &ll been
made and we settle down to the
development Of the territory, then
we will ask to be taken into the
federation Of states. Until this
has been accomplished we will be
satisfied in the knowledge that our
neighbOring territory has been ad-
mitted to the union"

IN MEMORIAM.
Resolutions Adopted In Respect TO
the Memory of rIrs. Frayser.

The following resolutions were
adopted by the Ladies Missionary
society of the Presbyterian church
of Vinita, |. 7.
Whereas, God in his infinite
wisdom and unchsnging love has
called to her eternal rest our be-
loved friend and fellow laborer,
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Frayser, we
bow our heads in humble submits
sion and say "Even SO, Father,
for so seemeth it good in thy
sight" Her presence and help.
fulness will be sadly missed for
long time to come. The three
marked characteristics of herlife
were love of home and husband,
love for the church and unselfsh-
ness to a very marked degree. Her
first thought was always for the
comfort OF others.
Resolved, that this society can
not adequately express its sym
pathy with the bereft husband and
relatives. 1t can only prayerfully
and affectionately commend them
to the God of all comfort, who
comforteth us all in our affHictious.
Resolved, that a copy of these
resolutions be entered on the min
utes Of the society, and that a copy
be sent to her husband and also to
her sister, Mrs. Theurer and other
relatives of Ft. Smith, Ark.

Territory

Ever since the construction Of the
