From John Keithley. who is in
town today from Keller. we learn
that considerable excitement exists
there over an alleged case of small
pox.
j. w. Reed recently arrived in
that community from Galena.
Kas., and was suffering with some
disease which caused eruptions on
face. The people straightway
pronounced it smallpox and Ostra-
cised the family as well as all ex-
posed persons, and herein lies the
kernel of the entire matter.
Keithly had been exposed to the
supposed case and was refused ad-
mission to the postoffice and the
mill at that place. No physician
has ever pronounced the disease
smallpox, but on the contrary
physicians at GaIena and also at
Norman, Okla, where it was sought
to >qarantine Mr.. Reed. said it was
not that disease. Mr.. keithIey
was here today to invoke the aid
of the law to gain him admission
to public places in Keller.

Four More Places Instruct 10 Ard
more's Candidate.


Yesterday information was re-
ceived here that Foster, with a
club membership of 400, had un-
animously decided in favor of A.
j. Wolverton for national commit
teeman.
Burneyville, Marsden, Pike and
Eastman have likewise instructed
for him.
At Wynnewood Friday nighs a
large crowd attended the demo
cratic club meeting and after con-
siderable discussion it was decided
that the delegates from there to
the Ardmore convention be sent
uninstructed.
Every day brings reports of
Wolyerton's growing popularity
among the people and scarcely a
day passes that some club does not
instruct its delegates to vote for
him in the convention.
The convention is less than
month off now and Wolverton's
lead in the race thus far makes his
chances for election extremely good.

APPRAISING OLD BOOKS.
A ToiIsome Task That Book Owners
Have to Pay For.

"Can you tell me whether this is val
liable bookp' or How much is this book
worth y are questions often asked at the
chief secondhand bookstores by patrons
who think they have picked up some rare
old edition or who think they can per-
haps dispose to advantage of some vol
ume which they own and believe to be
priced by collectors. II the book is obvi-
ously worthless, their inquiries can be an
swered shortly and positively, but in q
great number OF cases the information
they seek is such that no book dealer,
however well informed, can give it cor
rectly offhand. And just because inves-
tgation is necessary to determine 1t such
information is worth money. The owner
of the book will not in most instances OBJ
tain the market quotation on his proper
ty or even perhaps find out whether there
Is any considerable value in it without
paying for the knowledge.
Not all dealers will or can appraise
books in this way for patrons, for the
work requires that they shall have large
facilities in the line of catalogues to con-
suit and shall be able to spare the time
of one man for hours, days or perhaps
weeks to search carefully through all the
lists. All catalogues of auctions of rare
books which have been held in recent
years in various parts Of the world are
valuable in assisting in such work, and
the last one examined might be the only
source Of the desired statistics.
The prices charged for the work vary
greatly, as might be expected, according
TO the amount OF time which has to be
spent. One dealer who does a good deal
of this appraising seldom undertakes to
look up a book for less than 50. and his
charges may run from this up to $50 in
rare cases. when the edition is particu-
larly hard one to trace. The charges are
not necessarily based, however, upon the
value of the book, for frequently one
worth comparatively little requires just
as much labor ia the search as one which
proves TO be a rare prize. The patron
takes the risk Of this, and when il hap
pens he is Obliged to ppy for the work
and stand the loss.-Ne4 York Tribune.

Upon digging they unearthed the miss

surface. 1t was In an advanced stage OF
decomposition. Three wounds were ap-

two rear the back of the head. They had

THE MARRYING AGE.
when Should n Man Start Out to
Find n Wifef

when Should n Man start Out to
Find n WIfef
At what age should a man marryl
That depends upon the man. Some men
are more fitted for the responsibilities of
matrimony at 25 than others are at 30.
If marriage, however, be postponed until
after this last figure, a man is likely to
get into what may be called the habit of
celibacy, from which, as from other bad
habits, it is hard TO break away. In this
habit of celibacy he will continue until he
is about GO years of age, when a great
desire will come over him to try what
matrimony is like just before he dies, and
he will propose right and left TO every
thing in petticoats, until at last he Is
picked up, not for himself, but for his
money or his position, or because some
one is tired Of being called miss" and
wants the novel sensation of writing
"Mrs." before her name.
An old man told a friend that he want
ed to marry before he died, il only to
have some one to close his eyes. Per
haps," suggested the friend, you will
get some one who will open them" 1t Is
not natural for q young girl to wish to
marry an old man. A father said TO his
daughter: "Now, when it Is time for you
to marry, l won't allow you to throw
yourself away on one of the frivolous
young fellows l see around. l shall select
for you a staid, sensible, middle aged
man-what do you say TO one about so
years of age" We'll, father" replied
the girl, "if it's just the same to you,
should prefer two of 25."
Perhaps the best advice one could give
a young man in this matter is to say,
'Wait until you cannot wait any longer"
Wait-that is to say, until she-that not
impossible she-comes with smiles so
sweet and manners so gracious that you
cannot wait any longer, then marry, and
you may be happy ever after. As to the
age at which women should marry, am
afraid Of burning my fingers with that
question. All ! shall say is that il some
women are not worth looking at after 80
years Of age, there are quite as many not
worth speaking to before it. Let a man
please himself, but let him not marry
either child or an old woman.-Chicago
