Decide in Favor of Beckham.

Frankfort, Ky, May 70
John S. HaSer of Ashland,
who returned from Washington
today, gives encouragement to
Kentucky democrats. Judge
Hager brings a report that the
democrats in Washington have
information that the United
States supreme court reached a
decision last Saturday in favor
of Governor Beckham in the gov
ernorship contest, and that JUS
tice John Halran formerly of
Kentucky will write a dissenting
opinion.
The opinion of the court, concur
red in by all the other judges,
will sustain the Kentucky courts
in refusing to interfere in the ac-
ton of the legislature. The de-
cision is expected to be delivered
Monday.

Letter Mystery and Death.

Dallas, Tex, May 19--E. B.
Wagner, a business man of
Alvarado, com nmitted suicide at
that place today. by hanging.
He left q note stating that life
had no charms for him, and di-
recting how he desired some of
his possessions disposed of. No
one had any idea that he contem-
plated such a step. He was
about 80 years old, and leaves n
widow and several children.
Wagner went to the post Of
flee and inquired for asletter, re-
marking at the time that it was
an important one. Later he re-
ceived a letter and soon after he
was found dead. The charred
fragments of a letter, which had
been burned with a small amount
of straw, were found in the room
where the body was hanging.
What this letter contained, or
where it came from, on one
knows.

Molverton Won Fairly.

There has been some talk by
papers on the east of unfairness
in the action by which the demo-
Gratis of Eufaula instructed for
Wolverton. and in this connection
the following from the Indian
journal, published al that place,
will be read with interest by the
friends of DIR. Wolverton. 1t
says:
AS to the action of the club net
representing the sentiments of the
people, Col. Marcum's friends
worked like beavers during several
days before the convention to get
those who would vote for his en-
dorsement to be present Tuesday
night. His opponents also worked
like beavers to get the people
from the country to come in and
vote against instructing the dele
gates for anyone. Both sides sue
ceeded in getting In all who would
come. No man was uninformed,
and all were urged to come. Col.
Marcum was fought fairly and
openly here and he was fairly and
openly defeated. He was not mis-
represented and no fight was made
on him as an individual, but along
the lines of the interests of Eu
faula district. Those who opposed
Col. Marcum did it in the interest
of Eufaula and her friends and mo-
because they had personal objec
tions to him.
There is talk among a few O.
Col. Marcum's supporters here O
organizing and sending a contest
ing delegation to Ardmore. bu
we don't believe it will be done
If it is done it will only injur,
that gentleman's chances for elec-
ton.

Closely Watched by the Administra-
tiou-TaIk too Much.

uOn-iaik roo much.
New York, May IA special
to the Herald from Washington
says:
What chance the Boer com mis-
sioners had of being received o.
ficiaily by the president and Sec
retary Hay is lessening in conse-
quence of their conduct In New
York. Administration officials
have been following with close
interest the statements the dele
gates have made. 1t is unusual,
according to the officials, for the
diplomatic representatives of
foreign governments to come TO
the United States and immedi-
ately on arriving, publicly an
nounce the purpOrt of their mis-
sion, and some of the authorities
do not hesitate to call such con-
duct highly improper. From
the administration point of view,
the delegates and their friends
is calculated to stir up a senTi-
ment designed to force the gov
ernment to receive them and
carry out any suggestion they
may make.
1t is still the purpose of the
state department to receive the
delegates as distinguished stran-
gers, and after they have pre-
seuted such papers as they may
have the question of their recog-
Dition as representatives, of the
Transvaal will be determined.
1t is becoming apparent to the
officials, however, that the mis-
sion of the com mission is more
of political than a diplomatic
character and whatever PROPOSE
tions they may make looking to
the Intervention of the United
States in South Africa, it is alto
gether likely that the president
will decline to act.

How Lincoln Won Hi. Wife.

Mr.. Lincoln used TO take great de-
light in telling how he gained a knife
by his ugly looks. That has been pub
liShed, but l have not seen another in
print telling how he gained his wife.
Mrs. Lincoln was a beautiful lady, at
tractive, sharp. witty and relished a
joke even at her own expense. She
was staying with her sister, Mrs. Ed
wards. She had not been there long
before everybody knew Miss Mary
Todd. She often said: when n girl,
thought 1 would not marry until
could get one of the handsomest men
In the country, but since 1 became a
woman l learned l can't get such a
man, which has caused me to change
my mind. l have concluded now to
marry the ugliest looking man 1 can
find"
Later on Lincoln came to town. She
had never seen him before she met
him on the street. She was told who
he was and went home and told her
sister she had seen her man, ''the ugli-
est man 1 ever saw, Abraham Lin
coin, and am going to set my cap for
him"
That became common saying in
street gossip. When they were mar
ried, instead of taking a bridal trip,
they went to the Globe hotel, owned by
the writer and occupied by n tenant
They took board at 81 a week. When
he got able, he bought lot for $500
and built four room house costing
less than $1,000. When he received
5000 from his great railroad case, he
spent 81, 500 of it in putting a second
story on his house. and there he lived
until he went to Washington.-Thoma

Dougherty Exnectant.

BY telephone yesterday we learn
ed that w. j. Scott. with eight or
nine New York capitalists, was in
Dougherty and left on the north
bound Santa Fe train in their
special car. They arrived there
the night before from Coalgate,
having made an inspection of the
old Denison & Northern line. They
also visited the three large asphalt
mines near there and made inquiry
as to the quantity of asphalt at
each mine. They spent two hours
at the Brunswick mine with Super
intendent Bruce Condron. The
old grade of the Denison & North.
ern passes over the Brunswick de-
roslts. All the members expressed
themselves as favorably impressed
with the mines and the grade of
the Denison & Northern. 1t is
thought that they intend building
this road. These parties bought
and obtained option on twenty
vacant lots adjoining the old grade
of the road at that place. Dough
erty is on the boom and in great
expectation.

FARMERS DOING WELL.
In the Years of Plenty the Wise Ones
Will Make Provisfons for the
Uncertain Future.

Prices are going up all over the coun-
try. Agricultural products are in good
demand at home and abroad, at better
prices generally than for the average
of the past ten years. This means
more money for farmers to pay their
debts, and to supply their household
and farm needs. If they pay off their
mortgages, and other Indebtedness,
capitalists will save more money for
which they will be seeking investments.
If they buy new tools, new clothing or
furniture, carriages or pianos, that
means more business and larger profits
for manufacturers. This again should
bring more steady employment and bet
ter wages for the workingman. Per-
haps the wages may advance more slow
ly than will suit some of them, for
not every manufacturer or employer
feels confident that this improvement
in the business outlook is to be per-
manent one, but we think that we may
now look for ten or twenty years, of
higher prices, higher wages and album
dant prosperity, until people get rcek-
less and begin to feel that they are safe
in expanding more than their income
or spending it in advance. Then may
come panic such as we knew after the
close of the civil war, when people be-
gan to see the need of retrenchment.
We have had many such periods since
this nation was established, and the
improvident ones have enjoyed them
selves in the seasons prosperity and
suffered when the reaction came. It is
OF little use to offer advice to those who
cannot see the moral for themselves.
or will not heed the lesson it teaches.
The butterflies will bask in the sun
shine and perish in the frost in the
future as in the past, while the provi-
dent bee will store honey in the sum-
mer to provide for the wants of the
coming cold weather.-American Guilt

ONE-FINGERED GLOVES.
Worn by Drivers and by People Hav.
Ing Occasion to Use Pencils
Out-Of-DOOrs.

Gloves have long been made in very
great variety, but a novel thing in this
line is a one-fngered glove; or, per-
haps, it might be called one-fingered
mitten, in which the thumb and first
finger are provided for precisely as
they would be in any glove, with a COW
ering for each, while the other three
fingers are inclosed in a mitten-like
part. Mittens are warmer, but driver
must wear gloves or have at least one
finger free to enable him to handle the
reins. The one-fngered glove is made
for his especial convenience; with the
thumb and forefnger free he can ham
die the lines all right, while his hands
are, for the rest of them, protected as
they would be by mittens. One-fn-
gered gloves are bought also by ship
ping clerks and bookkeepers and others
around markets and other places.
Where more or less of the business must
be attended to outdoors, a man can't
very we'll handle a pencil with mittens
on his hands, but he can swing one
all right in one-fngered gloves. Gloves
of this sort are made of calfskin or of
sheepskin, and wool-lined, like any
other glove.-N. Y. Sun.

Totals Of All Farm CroDs.

A further publication of agricultural
returns, just issued, show the totals of
all crops for the first time. There are
reductions of area under wheat, rye.
peas, turnips and swedes, clover and
rotation grasses and bare fallow, and
increase in barley, oats, beans, potatoes.
mangels, cabbages, permanent pasture,
flax, hops and small fruit. The total
acreage under crops and grass in the
United Kingdom is 77,675,572 acres.
The great increase is in permanent pas
ture, which promotes permanent pros
perity better than cultivated crops, and
especially wheat, under the worlds
competition; the total is proportionate-
~ very large, 2s,1oo,672 acres, against
27,913, 400 last year. Clover and grasses
under rotation, not for hay, show in
crease, with a decrease of hay area.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Fine cut fresh bone is one of the best
foods for laying hens and young chick
ems. Tainted bone is vile.
During the winter months, when
grain ia fed in considerable quantities,
grit is absolutely necessary to the
fowls.
Unfertile eggs are preferred for the
kitchen, because they are supposed to
retain their freshness longer than fer
tile ones.
Leaves and dry earth make an ex-
cellent combination on the floor of the
poultry house. Dry earth absorbs and
disinfects, while leaves make scratch
ing material for the fowls.
A New York commission firm advises
that all kinds of poultry be killed by
cutting through the roof of the mouth
to the brain with a sharp-pointed knife.
The idea is to bleed the fowl freely.
Only choice, well-selected dressed
poultry should be shipped to the city
markets if good prices are expected.
Unassorted lots invariably bring poor
returns. Snip the culls separately, if
they are to go.-Ohio Poultry Journal.

How to House Big Colonies.

A writer in the Chicago Stockman
says he builds bee houses ten feet long,
sixfeet wide and six feet high to accom-
modate II colonies, at acost of about one
dollar per colony. He sets hives two
feet apart, from center to center, and
makes entrances in the sides to corre-
spond with the entrances to the hives.
He prefers to place the hives on the
usual bottom boards, which are nailed
to cleats at each end, so that the hives
are some four inches from the floor,
which leaves room for chaff packing in
the winter. An old dwelling house,
with two ordinary-sized rooms IA feet
square, should be large enough for so
colonies, and the room would give q
working space among the hives.
