The R. 7. Booth Co., Ithaca, N. Y.

The Mixes lived six miles south Of Te-
cumseh. and it seems that Nix and his
wife's sister have been on intimate terms
for some time. About three months ago
a child was born to Mrs. Nix's sister, of
which James Nix was said to be the
father, hence the cause for removing the
wife.
On the evening of the murder, Mrs. Nix
complained of being slightly i'll, and a
dose of salts was prepared for her by her
sister. Four teaspoonfuls were alminis-
tered to her in the presence OF Mrs.
Lackey and Mrs. Greene. who had called
to visit Mrs. Nix. In this salts was dis
tributed the strychniDe in quantities suf-
ficient to kill y people as was testified to
by Prof. De Bar, head OF the chemical de-
partment of the Oklahoma University.
The case looked suspicious from the
start. A party who knew of the sudden
death, notified Coroner Tackett, who at
once proceeded to the house, arriving just
about the time the funeral was in pro-
gress, and stopped further proceedings.
He was severely. censured for this act by
many Of the people of that part of the
county, but now that It is a clear case
Of murder, and an inhuman one, at that,
he is receiving many words of praise for
his part in the proceedings.
Both Nix and the woman are now Ian
gushing in Jail, awaiting the action of
the grand jury, and the case is so plain
against them that long terms in the peni.
Tertiary are staring them in the face,
even should they escape the gallows.

JOHN s. GRAY.
Since government statistics have proven
that HYOMEI alone reduced the death
rate from respiratory diseases 50 per cent
in 1900, thousands OF sufferers from
coughs, catarTh, bronchitis and con-
sumption have stopped experimenting
with other treatments, used HYOMEI and
been completely cured.
It is now only necessary for the public
to understand this and the efforts Of ply
sicians and health boards to stamp ont

Coughs, Catarrh, Pneumonia and Con-
sumption cannot exist where HYOMEI

JENKINS SECOND MISTAKE
Ex-Governor, Says Enid Eagle, Should
Not Have Assailed Roosevelt.

Enid, o. T., Dec. lo.-Editorislly the
Eagle says:
"Esx-GeVernor Jenkins made mistake
when he assailed the honesty and good
faith Of the president in connection with
his removal He might have claimed
that the president was mislead and had
made a mistake. through which injustice
was done. But the charge of dishonesty
and CT duplicity and of garbling state
ments in order TO find subterfuge for
the governors removal VIII not stick.
President Roosevelt is distinguished
for blunt frankness. In the courage of
saying what he thinks ard doing what
he believes TO be right, he is absolutely
fearless.
In these respects the people of Okla
hona know him and have faith in him.
That he was afraid to say 10 jenkins
in his presence what he said later in the
memorandum of reason for his removal,
is not even probable. That the presi-
dent concealed from Jenkins his views
Of the latter's relation to the sauitarium
scandal is not at all probable. It is true
that he did not ask Mr.. jenkins for his
resignation but left him 70 determine
for himself whether h should resign
or take the chance of being removed.
But Mr. Jenkins ought not 10 have been
in doubt, in view of the presidents well
known disapproval. of what the result
would be. And nobody who knows the
character of Roosevelt viii ever believe
that he gave Mr.. jenkins any encourage
ment to suppose that he would be re-
taind.
Probably no man ever before charged
Roosevelt with dishonesty or hypocrisy.
And there IS no man against whom such
charges could be made with less probable
ity Of their being believed And it was
bold thing for Mr.. jenkins 20 do. Such
record for rugged honesty and fearless
frankness as that of the president is not
easily affected.
THAT Mr.. jenkins should feel mortified
and Inundated by his removal is not
strange, but his vindication cannot be
accomplished by assaults upon the char
acter of the president. And he has made
a mistake in attempting It

Sol Temple Figures in New
Executives First Act.
RtQUlSITIoN ON TEXAS
Is Signed 10 Bring Back the
Famous Jail Breaker.
RtQUlSITIoN ON TEXAS

Guthrie, o. T.. Dec. 1o.-Governor Fer
guson's first day as chief executive of
Oklahoma has been very busy one.
There have been many callers at the
executive Office, and outside Of some mat
ters of Importance. very little business
has been done in an official way.
The first act of the new governor was
the signing of requisition on the gov
ernor Of Texas for the return OF Sol
Temple. who is under arrest at Dallas,
Texas. Temple escaped from jail at
Pond Creek some time ago. and was
finally placed under arrest in the Lone
Star state. Temple has a record as
jail breaker. and the average Jail in
Oklahoma seems TO be an easy thing
for him.
The policy Of the new administration is
in regard TO public affairs viii be to
give every official act out to the press
of the territory, in order that the people
viii have an opportunity of knowing
what is being done. The reports from all
the departments will be given out and
general information which has never been
placed before the public. IN regard to
the affairs OF the Territory, financially or
otherwise, viii become public property
ia the columns of the newspapers.
Secretary Hitchcock, through Gov
ernor Ferguson, has instructed the sec
retary OF the school land department TO
require the bank which handles the .bo-
nus" money On the school land leases to
put up a 100000 bond. The "bonUs" in
the Capital National bank at this time
amounts to something like 500, ,000 The
Capitaf National bank, which is the Ter
ritorial depository, has given bond only
on Territorial money, and nothing has
ever been said concerning the school land
bonus"
It can be said that there will be an in
vestigation OF the conditions which exist
at the Oklahoma sanitarium. Governor
Ferguson states that he has not paid any
attention to this institution, and in order
10 understand the situation thoroughly
viii need to investigate matters. What
disposition of the insane will be made is
hard to tell. but some interesting de-
velopments are expected.
IN regard to appointments. Governor
Ferguson said this morning that the
heads Of departments and clerks would
remain until some change was decided
upon and that such matters would be
taken up later on. A private secretary
has not yet been appointed. Corb NJ.
Sarehet Of the Oklahoma State Capital is
an applicant for the position, with fair
prospects of landing the place.
Candidates are beginning to line up for
the places at the disposal of Governor
Ferguson. The mail this morning was
very heavy. and many OF the letters
were endorsements for various candidates.
Chas. Bickel Of Woods county is candi-
date for secretary Of the sanitary live
stock commission, to succeed 0. c.
French, appointed by jenkins. Editor
Bishop of the Cleo Chieftain IS also
candidate for the same position. Mr..
Bishop arrived in the city this morning.
and will Immediately press his claims for
the place.
