THE NEW VOICE.

Such is the name of Chicago
paper that has attracted intense In
terest in Texas for the past few
weeks by its tricks, which is eX-
planned at some length, and of which
the following is the substance:
81 am now prepared to tell the
whole story of the Clarence 7,
Johnson correspondence with the
Texas newspapers in regard to pro-
posed publication Of 'anti-Prohibi-
sion write-ups' to be paid for as
snews matter without advertising
marks of any kind and also 'edl-
torial.'
''When articles of that sort recent
ly began To appear ia Texas papers,
the Prohibition leaders knew that
4hev were bought and paid for, but,
how to prove the fact, and how to
sift the sheep from the goats was
not All easy problem.
"To accomplish this end the now
celebrated Clarence T. Johnson
letter was sent out by the Washing
ton Bureau of the New Voice. 1t
was simply decoy, written on sta
tionery prepared for the purpose, a
common method employed by secret
service men in ferreting out counter
feiters, forgers, thieves and crooks.
Clarence T. Johnson is fourteen
year-old boy and harmless.
"The decoy was sent to about 700
or 800 papers in the state. 81.
Many papers ig-
nored the proposition as unworthy
of any sort of consideration. A..
at came to pass that 168 editors
of leading papers were willing to
play the harlot with the whiskey
dealers for a consideration"
When the MIRROR received the
genuine letter from the anti-prohibi-
tionists, calling for rates of inser-
tion we threw it aside without an
swer, since it was to be run with
out any marks showing that it was
an advertisement, and when the
bogus letter came we treated it like
wise, thinking naturally that it was
only a repetition of the first letter.
The MIRROR does not believe that
the New Voice has done itself any
credit, nor its cause any permanent
good, in what 1t has done, and be
lieves the papers of the state should
condem it's methods unless they
endorse them.
1t is the same plan that was used
to capture Aguinaldo--that of deceit
and treachery, and those who dc
not endorse such methods should
say so.-Ellis County Mirror.
The above comment of the Mirrol
is timely and to the point, and is
fully endorsed by this paper. The
New Voice Is published in the in.
ferest of the prohibition party but
its method of "sifting'' the Texas
papers will hardly be endorsed by
the party 1t represents.

HAS ASTOUNDING WAR RECORD
Man Calls at Court House and Sets
the Officials TO Wonderir1o.

Yesterday morning q man Of 60 years,
but hale and hearty. in a blue jumper
and canvass breeches. called at the court
house upon T. T. Daniels, the poor com
missioner, and asked for a little help on
his way north from the new country and
Oklahoma. His name was Chas, Bran
don. and he had filed on a claim in the
El Reno district, but finding that he
could not make an honest living there. he
decided to so back TO his old home at
Bellare. Ohio.
He claimed that his family had the
greatest war record in the United States
and no one at the court house cared TO
dispute him after hearing his story.
He said that he was one OF thirty-three
children --five girls and twenty-eight boys
His father father was married twice
When the civil war broke out. seventeen
of his family went 10 war. His father
was in the exican war and his grandpa
rents in the revolution.
This man himself had sent nine Of his
sons to fight in the Spanish-American
war and two Of them are now IN the Phil
ippines. He saws that his twentieth baby
is one of the five children now with him
and his wife. yet even this one only for
n short time held the title of being the
baby Of the family
When q doubt as TO the truth OF this
awful array Of facts was expressed yes
terday, Mr.. Daniels declared that the man
was truthful and sincere and had a very
honest eve. IN confirmation OF his belief
he gave the Old fellow a supply Of pro-
visions that viii help sustain the pride
he must feel in that numerous family.

CANDIDATE
FOR JUDGES
ARE PLENTY
Ten Well Known Men are
Now in the Race.
TO SUCCEED J. [. M'ATEE
Passage of Judiciary Bill May
Increase Number.

Guthrie, o. T, April The announce
nent that the resignation OF John L.
AIcAtee as judge of the Fifth pjudicial
district, had been forwarded to Washing
ton did not come as a surprise to the
people Of this portion of Oklahoma. Since
the charges fled against Judge A1oAtee
were received at Washington and a spec
ial inspector sent here 1T was considered
very probable that Judge 3GcAtee would
resign. At a result Of this feeling, many
men who have a desire TO occupy seat
on the supreme bench have been securing
endorsements for 1IcAtee's place. There
is much speculation over the probable
successor to Judge 1IcAtce. and no one
here seems TO have any idea who il Will
be. The following named men are candl-
dates for a seat on the bench
J. =. CulIison, Enid; J. X. Teauchamp,
Enid; J. c. Roberts, Guthrie; It. +. Gil
lett FL Reno; T. W. Keyes. Hobart; Juo.
lluabry. Chandler; J. s Strang, Guthrie;
j. T. Pancoast Perry.
2 96ha I1mbry Of Chandler has been pick
ed as winner by a number Of prominent
Republicans. What chances ne has are
not known. yet some strong endorse
ments for hin have been sent in. With
the judiciary bin likely TO pass. three men
in Okl0homa win secure places on the
supreme bench. In that event Judge J. @.
Roberts. the new attorney general should
secure one OF the places, there would be
q vacancy in this Office 70 be filed
which would probably be filed from the
list of candidates Tor a seat on the su-
pren1e bench

ROBBED OF $1,000
cIairvoyant Works Confidence Game
on Suspectinq Woman.

Mrs. III. L. Matthews. who is Temporal
rily residing at COZ East Douglas avenue.
discovered late Saturday evening that she
had been robbed Of 81 eco Thursday af-
ternoon by a clairvoyant. VINO foretoId
her that she would lose 81 800. and sue
ceeded almost entirely in fulfilling his
prophesy by getting his hands on her
money. The name of the smooth conf
dence man who thus robbed an unsuspect-
Ing elderly woman, is A B. Stewart. who
for several weeks read peoples minds
ana unveiled their future at his rooms in
the Nendone on North Market street. On
Thursday he left for unknown parts, and
warrant IS now out for his arrest.
In telling the story of the robbery, Mrs.
Matthews said:
II came to Wichita about six weeks
ago. and having heard 50 much about
the ability Of Anna Eva Fay when Mr.
Stewart came here 7 heard that he pos
sassed similar powers. and about two
weeks ago I went to him. I made sew
eral calls after that. and discovered that
he was apparently a mind reader. He
gave me history az my past and found
out that 7 Had ssl.500 which intended to
invest. How he found this out I do not
know. He told me that I would lose that
money in making an investment, but that
he could not tell how. If he could mag
J.
then wear 1t on my person, he would be
able 20 tell me in what manner I should
lose.
II had confidence in the man, and be-
lieved what he said was true. Accordingly
/ went 10 the bank and got 81 .060. I then
returned to the clairvoyant. He had me
place the money in an envelope, after
having the currency wrapped up in "A
copper piece. which 7 believe was mag
nctized at my elbow on the table was
an electrical machine (ATrs. Matthews
believes there is a connection between the
electrical machinery and the robbery, but
it is probable that the electrical machin-
cry and the magnet were used by the con-
ddence man TO mystify his victim.)
After I had placed the money in an en-
velope 7 handed it 20 him. FIe took tine
envelope in his hands, folded It and then
handed IL back TO me I kept my eyes
en- il al the time.
Before I left the man that day he
made arrangements for me 70 call again
