County Superintendent Colvert of
Logan county held meeting of the
members of the school boards in the
districts of the county having separate
schools for the purpose of ascertaining
what can be done toward the mainte-
nance of the schools during the present
year. When the levy was made it was
not large enough to maintain the sepa-
rate schools and how to carry on the
work is becoming serious question.
1t was decided at the meeting that the
districts pay a certain sum each toward
a fund for an attorney in order that a
suit may be brought to compel the

Prisoners Get Away.

Lawton.-The pursuit of the prison
ers who escaped from the Fort Sill
Jail, has been given up with no cap
ture. It was learned that there were
outside confederates who furnished
horses for two of them. Sheriff Painter
followed these to the territory line
near NARROW, while Deputy Rhodes
took the trail of the other three, each
of whom had stolen horse, and riding
bareback, had made for the mountains.
Near Mr.. SCOTS place they were sight
ed and chased until, despairing of
overtaking them, he opened fire with
his long range Krag-Jorgenson, with
the effect of driving them into the hills
where they abandoned their horses
and escaped by using the large bould-
ers as cover to escape his rifle. After
spending the afternoon in a fruitless
search, he camped for the night, and
in the morning returned with the res
cued horses.

he went into a passion of rage. He
went into the yard where his s-year-old
boy was building a wagon and gave
him an unmerciful whipping. He left

then he HIS disappeared and has not

OKLAHOMA NEWS.
Interesting Items Concerning the Territory.
okrar,om.,. COTTON Inerea.e.

Oklahoma City.-A. T. Bell, a cotton
buyer from Liverpool, is in the city.
He gives out some very interesting
facts concerning the cotton crop of this
year: His firm buys 1oo, 900 bales of
cotton annually and he has been tour
lug the entire cotton belt of the United
States the past two months The cot
ton outlook in Texas was never worse
and he estimates billion-ba1e short
age. The other states will have an
average increase over last years crop.
Northern Oklahoma will have a 80 per
cent increase, while southern Okla
hom's increased production will amount
to from 10 to ~ per cent. Of the cot
ton produced in America one-third is
consumed in domestic uses while two
thirds go to Europe. The principal
fault English buyers find with Okla
homa cotton is that picl1ers throw it
on the ground where it becomes stained
by the red soil and thus greatly inn.
pairs its commercial value.

DARKNESS AND DAWN.

AS seamen from a distant land
Lean silent on a vessels side,
Shading their eyes with Sunburnt hand
AS slowly drifting with the tide,
Turn soft-eyed as they dim1y trace
The smoke rise from the roofs of home,
Whilst sheer across the ocean waste
The sinking sun lit up the foam:
When dropped the dark, uprose the
breeze,
And they their f1tful duties piled;
When morning dawned. the curling seas
Had rolled them to the harbor-side;
So, oft in life a vision falls,
Dream-born, athwart the ways of men,
OF summer lands and golden halls
Transcendent in their beauty-then
Falls down the dark of mind dfstreSt;
Yet vaguely trust they in the hope
That, through the doom of darkness blest,
They with their on1ens i'll may cope:
When morrow'S dawning comes, they find
All golden is the land around
Darkness had fallen; but nights wind
Waited them to their Dreamland's
ground.

nal.

Cotton is SpOtted

The various towns have received
Some cotton but the crop is very spot
ted in Oklahoma by reason of the fact
that rains have been few. In the vi
cinity of Crescent City the crop is
almost a failure; where there &as been
rain the cotton is pretty good. The
prevailing prices on cotton is So. 35 to
$3.50; round bale, $3.50 to s7.T5;
square bale, S7.25 to $3.50; cotton seed
is bringing S12. The products are quite
high as compared with other years.
Cotton seed meal is not high compared
with the price of corn. The seeds are
badly filed and there is a small
amount of oil in the seed owing to the
dry weather.

house, either before or after the shot.

The Wall Street Panic.
By Frederick Upham Adams.

Frederick Upham adams has given to
the world in his 1.-The Kidnapped Million
aires" published by the Lothrop compa-
ny, Boston, one of those stories that both
please and instruct, and yet which sell
dom rise to the point where they ere
classed as great literary productions. The
story is laid about Wall street and hinges
upon the panic Of few weeks ago. For
characters the author has selected Wall
street millionaires, newspaper editors and
reporters, sailors, and pretty girl. One
of the younger generations of millionaires
is suffering from mild form of dementia,
and while in this condition entices other
influential financierS aboard his yacht and
then carries them captive to a point on
the coast of Mexico from which they can
not escape. The remainder of the story
is woven about the efforts of a New York
newspaper to find these captive million
aires and their final return. The book is
interesting not much because of the
plot. but because of the clear insight the
author gives his readers of the business
methods of Wall street In this he thor
oughly understands his subject, and
handles it with vivid description that
carries with it both interest and fnstruc-
ton to the lay reader We reproduce be-
low. with the permission of the publish
erS, the chapter in the volume descriptive
of the scenes on the New York stock ex-
change during the day of the recent panic
