WILL FIGHT THE SALOONS.
ANTl-SAL00N LEAGUE TO MAKE
DETERMINED STAND.
That Licenses Shall Not Issue Un-
Ill the Law is Complied With in
the ki0wa Comanche
County.-The Law.

The Anti Saloon league OF Okla
homs territory. is goiag to force
the issue against the saloon keeper
who has entered the new country
to open a saloon business just as
soon as the country can get into
working order, says the Leader.
The League will take advantage
Of every complicated feature OF the
Law a. it applies to a newly opened
country. 10 a conversation tOdsy
with the Rev. II Z. Swan. the ter.
ritorial superintendent OF the
league, he said.
The league has its men al each
Of the principal townsites to watch
matters and see that the law is not
violated by the prospective saloon
keepers. At Lawton. the Rev. b.
W Ross Of Norman is located; the
Rev Keller Of Guthrie. i at Ana
darko, and the Rev. Jones Of Cush-
ing, is at Hobart. The Rev. A
b. Carpenter o. Norman, is the
general league agent over the three
counties "
As the Rev. Mr.. Swan looks at
it be can not see how saloon men
can open for business for az least
several months, If the law is lit
orally lived up to by the county
commissioners aud the courts Mr..
Swan said:
The saloon petition must have
the names OF thirty tax payers be-
fore il is legal. These must be
from the ward of an incorporated
city. There are no tax payers
there nor will there be until an as
sessment of the counties is made,
which will be some time next year
This is according to the Organic
Act, and we have previously estab
lished in the courts what a tax
payer is according to law. II a
saloon can open in that new conn
try without respecting the law, it
will be investigated All the
league desires is that the saloon
keeper as we'll as other citizens
observe the law. | had letter

Winter Racing of Crescent Jockey
 Club Begins Today.

New Orleans. November 27.-when the Crescent City Jockey Club opens its gates tomorrow afternoon what bids fair to be the most successful meeting in its history will be ushered in.
 A thousand horses, mainly the property of western stables. are already on the ground, and on Saturday night after the close of the Bennings meeting six car loads of horses will leave for New Or leans. The clubs stakes have all filled well and the entries are of a much better class than is usual in winter racing. The fields in all events will be limited to twelve starters. and this in itself will materially improve the sport.
 The jocktAs already here comprise most of the best boys in the west, and the con- tingent will be reinforced by the arrivals from Bennings, among them Cochran and Wonderiy. For weeks past the track of- ficials have been at work on the stables, the stands and the grounds. and every thing is as fit as it can be made.

New York; November 27.-At the Wal dorf-Astoria tonight Frederick H. Clarke of the law firm of Blymer, Hobbs & Sto- yer, No. 32 Broadway, confirmed the ru- mored formation of a new steel combine.
 The new consolidation will be capital ized at $250, 000. GOO, instead of $100, GOO 900, as has been stated, and it will include companies with the exception of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.
 MT. Clarke said: we are authorized to announce that the. organization of the new combine is well under way and will undoubtedly be accomplished. MT. Bly, mer is in Ohio and will be in Pittsburg tomorrow. As yet we have no authority to announce the names of those who will be at the head of the new combine"
 It was also stated on good authority that the new company will handle its products direct from the mine to the consumer, and rumors were also current that negotiations for the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railroads coal lands were in progress on behalf of the new combine.
 These coal lands are the biggest hold ings Nof the kind outside of those con- trolled by railroads, and the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania Railroads have long been trying 70 obtain them
 ES-Senator Davis of West Virginia, Senator Elkins and R.. c. Kerens are in- terested in these fields.

cornerlns the Pumpkin Market.

From the Chicago Tribune. .
 South Water street has on hand what may develop into a pumpkin corner, the principal effect of which will be felt when the time arrives for the building of the pies which are a part of the regulation Thanksgiving dinner The squeeze" was first noticed when the demand for the Halloween trade manifested itself during the closing days of October, and is again becoming a subject of street comment. Max Aaron and his brother Edward, composing the firm of E. A. Aaron & Bro. are behind the deal and are said already to have cleaned up about 5000 by their foresight. Several weeks ago Max Aaron had occasion to inquire for pumpkins in the street" He found that there was a scarcity in the market. a condition which also existed through out the country. Many of the farmers, who for the last five or six years had raised pumpkins and found them heavy load on the market failed to plant their crops this year. Aaron then figured that the pumpkin crop was only one-third of what 1t was last year. and he confided the information to his brother as we'll as to his uncle, Barney Aaron of the firm of B. Aaron & Son. Quietly the men bought up all the pumpkins in sight and waited for the arrival of Halloween. when young America makes jack-o'- lanterns of hollow pumpkins. In all the two firms succeeded in buying 2O,0OU pumpkins, so that when the demand came 1t was supplied only by the Aarons. The price advanced from s6 and $S hum dred to $1.25 and then to $2.75 dozen. The entire stock was sold out and the market still demanded as many more pumpkins. In speaking yesterday or the corner Max Aaron said: "lt Is true that we cornered the pumpkin market and disposed of the product at something like an advance of 50 per cent over the cost price. We sold at our own price and our uncle. who got some of the crop. did the same. We secured fancy prices for high-grade stuff, and discovered that the demand was heavier this year than it has been for ten years back This helped make good market. The de- mand is still good and the general sup ply short

MT. DooIey and the President.

From the Springfield Republican.
 The act of President Roosevelt in se- curing the original drawing of Punch's cartoon of him as the Rough Rider enter ing the Presidency is interpreted as show ing that he enjoys the cartoons illus trating or caricaturing his personality and career. While Punch's cartoon was in no sense a caricature or uncomplmentary to the President, it is true, no doubt, that MT. Roosevelt appreciates satire in all its forms, whether graphic or literary. The story is told by the Washington cor respondent of the Chicago Record-Herald and it is good enough to be true-that the MT. Dooleys article on "Alone in Cubia," which has seldom been surpassed in it's rough satire, made a great impress sion upon the subject of it. He cut out the piece and carried it around in his pocketbook. When he first met Peter Dunne, the author of the Dooley papers, at the Philadelphia convention last year. the Colonel cried out to hlm By God frey, MT. Dunne, I would rather meet you than any man in this hall. You gave me the worst roasting l ever got. and my wife has read it to me about sew enteen times when she thought l needed discipline; but it was the best thing you ever wrote"
 Perhaps the most effective part of that immortal roast" was this (the colonel Icing supposedly to narrate the battle of San Juan hilD:
 "Who ar-re ye?" says they. Colonel Rosenfelt," says I. ''Oh, excuse me, '' says the gin'ral in command eff me mim- ry serves me thrue it was Miles), r'risin' to his knees and salutin'. This showed me 'twud be impossible fir to carry tn war to a successful conclusion unless I rt fh' hODnp a m attacked San Juan HILL Ar-dmed ony with a small 32 which I used in tn West to shoot tn feet prairie-dog, I climbed that precipitous ascent in tn face if tn most gallng fire I iver knew or heard iv. But I had a few r-rounds of garrl meself. an what carod I? dashed madly on cheerin' as I wint. Tn Span- ish troops was drawn up in long line in tn formation known among military men as a long line I fired at tn man nearest me, an I knew be tn expression in his face that tn thrusty bullet wint home. It passed through his frame. he fell. an wan little home in far-off Cata- lonia was made happy be tn thought that their riprisintative had been kilt be tn future Governor of New York. Tn bullet sped on its mad flight an passed through tn intire line, finlly imbeddin' itself In tn abdomen iv tn ar-rchbishor iv Sandago eight miles away. This inded tn war"
 It Is easy to understand how that rol- licking '"take-off'' would do a man of MT Roosevelt's temperament world of good. The lego in him is very strong as it is in most forceful characters. Mrs Roosevelt could have no better flreside discipline for the head of the house. For | as Emerson said: What a safeguard is humor.'

USES TYPEWRITER ON \ NEW BIBLE Dr. St. Claire Tells of avNew
 Religion THE FOUNDER A DENTIST Says He Was Directed By an Angel so Get Typewriter-Light
 Struck Back of

THE FOUNDER A DENTIST

New York, November 27.-What may be regarded as d promulgation similar to that of the founding of the Mormon church has Just been made public by Dr. Harry St. Claire, says the Syracuse N. r., correspondent of the Press. Dr. St. Claire says he possesses a new Bible which he calls "Oahspe," and this docu- ment forms the basis on which he ex- poets tc found the new religion. Already he has many followers.
 The similarity to the so-called Mormon revelation Is that the agents worked in somewhat the same way. The story of Joseph Smith and his alleged conference with the divine spirit are well known. But the agent of the sect founded on the book 'Oahspe' worked along more up-to- date lines. He used a typewriter instead of pen and ink. Now that he is dead his followers assert that his mantle has fallen upon Dr. St. Claire. Dr. St. Claire explained the movement in the following language:
 'The new Bible WAS written through the instrumentality of Dr. J. B. New hrough, d dentist, of Now York. Finally he was directed by an angel to get a typewriter, which he did, and applied himself industriously to learning, but in different success. One morning two years later as he was sitting at the typewrite CT the light struck on the back of his hands and they began to work the machine and kept it up for fifteen minutes. The doc tor was told not to read what he had written and he obeyed reverently. One morning he looked out of the window and beheld the line of light extending heavenward. Above hls head were three pairs of hands fully materialized and be- hind him was an angel with her hands on his shoulders The result was "Oahspe.' which the dentist was ordered to spread throughout the world"
 Dr. St. Claire was also told by the revelation to take his place and spread the gospel.

Making One State of Two.

Wash. Cor. Chicago Tribune.
 Some members of Congress have sug. gested combining New Mexico and Arizona together into one State, but the objection to this is that it would make single commonwealth of 235,- 900 square miles, about six times the size of Illinois, and larger than any other State in the union except Texas Most of the members, therefore, say that Arizona and New Mexico must work out their own salvation, develop their resources, cultivate public schools, and reduce their ratio of Hit. eracy from an average of 25 per cent at least to the Texas ratio of 15 per cent, if not to the percentage of Cali fornia, the two adjacent States. There is not now the slightest possibility of the admission of Arizona and but little or no chance for New Mexico.

Chattanooga, November 27.-(Special. J. Hamilton County bonds. amounting to s1OO.oOO, were sold today to N. w. Harris & Co.,, Chicago, at premium of SA per cent. Seventeen bids were presented, one coming from Atlanta. The bonds are is- sued to pay floating debts. Several rep resentatiyes of bond firms were delayed by wreck on the Cincinnati Southern Railroad. and for their benefit the time of closing bids was extended two hours.
