held at not later than September or Oc-
tober. An effort is being made on the part
or those who originally opposed a conven-
ton to have Chairman Cade postpone CALI
ing convention until the holidays. This
would defeat the value OF the convention.
for the reason that If statehood for Okla
homa is secured It viii be upon political
reasons. and Mr.. Mcclure needs ali the
Republican authority he can secure in Ok
lahoma- II he goes down to Washington
aSkins, fofr statehood he must go as q
representative OF the Republican party.
For however true IL is that Mr. Mcclure
represents Oklahoma without regard TO
party on all matters pertaining to needed
legislation. it is also true that a state was
never admitted except from political rea-
sons Democrats congresses never admit
Republican territories; neither do Republi-
can congresses admit Democratic terrific
ries. II is necessary. in order TO secure
statehood. that congress be convinced that
Oklahoma VIII be a Republican state IL
admitted II is also necessary that the
Republicans of congress be assured that
the Republicans OF Oklahoma are entlu-
siastic for statehood. The best way, and
the only way. that congress can receive
manifesto from the Republicans of Ok
lahoma is by Republican statehood con-
vention. II is necessary that the conven-
ton be held prior to the converting of con-
gress. that Mr.. Mcclure be armed with all
necessary authority from his party. II
deemed necessary another convention can
be held during congress. The statehood
question has been hashed and rehashed.

attained. Let the convention be held in
iua time to accomplish its aim.

KANSAS HILLS DESCRIBED
Will Follow South Canadian
Stream Into Oklahoma

Kenton. o. T., July u.-Up in central
Kansas there is a range of sandstone
hills that rise like a wall west of the
level prairie. These hills extend from
Washington county. on the Nebraska line,
southwest through parts of Cloud. OF
tawa, Mitchell, Lincoln, Smith, Ellsworth
and Barton counties and touch the Ar
kansas river near Great Bend. From
this point the sandstone which makes up
the hills outcrops song the north side
of the Arkansas river past Pawnee Rock
as far as Ford City. 1t also appears on
the head of the Medicine river west of
BeIvidere, in Kiowa county, and in the
canyons north OF Ashland in Clark coun-
ty, and extends west to Point OF Rocks
in Morton county.
The sandstone making up these hills
is usually dark brown or black. but some
times lighter in color. In it are contain
ed great numbers of fossil leaves. and
fossil numbers, and collectors from all
over the United States and even from
Europe have made pilgrimages to Saline
and Ellsworth counties in search OF petri-
fed leaves buried in the rocks.
To the north of Kansas this sandstone.
whcih biologists know as the Dakota
sandstone, extends across Nebraska, out
cropping near Lincoln, Beatrice and
Omaha, and forming the bluffs Of the
Missouri river as far as Sioux City, Ia.
and on into Minnesota.
While biologists have traced and map
ped the northern exposures OF the Da-
kota, the southwestern outcrops have
never been studied. The government irri-
cation survey that has been working
through Beaver county last week found
the Dakota well exposed along the Cim
arron river near Kenton, o. T. At this
place the sandstone hills are 300 or more
feet high. The various creeks tributary
to the Cimarron have cut their way
through the sandstone and carved fantas-
tic buttes, mesas and ridges from the
old plateau

desk Of Chief Hill. 1t is not known just
what the robbers secured, but it is
known that several small articles were

The robbery took place some time be-
tween 5 and O'Clock, as up to that time
one of the police was there. He went to
his supper and was absent something
like an hour and a half and upon his
return to the station noticed that the

notified the other policemen and a care

years sentence ofThurIna Baldwin, who
years sentence of Thurman Baldwin,
who pleaded guilty to larceny and rob-
berry before Judge Parker at Fort Smith,
a few years ago. Thurman Baldwin is
the notorious 'Skeeter," who was a MEM
Der of the Cook gang of outlaws. which
a fe wyears ago terrorized sections of the
Indian Territory, and whose exploits oc-
cupied more space in the eastern news

of the gang. Jim French was killed re-
sisting arrest. Cherokee Bill was hanged
at Fit Smith. Bill Cook died in prison
while serving forty years sentence,

STIFF PROPOSITION.
Jet Has Seeming Choice of Horns of

Jet, o. T.. July I.-Whether or not Jet

people of this community says the News.
The crisis is here, damned square up
against US, and whether or not we
would rather die natural death or stag
ger under heavy railroad burden is
for us to decide. G. F. Corwin, Of the
Denver, Enid and Gulf, was in town
yesterday and made the proposition to
build the road through this place for
$4,000 cash. one-half interest in the town
site of 100 acres. and eight miles right

country town to handle, but if we don't

MUST KEEP A RECORD.
Rooming House Proprietors Must Reg
lister Their Guests.

Shawnee, o. T., July Ito more easily
of the law, the police department has
served notice on rooming house keepers
that in the future every person occupy
ing a room at their places must be regis
tered in a book kept for that purpose.
which book must be open for the inspec-
ton of any member of the police force
at all times. The reasons for this order
are many, and it will be found quite
convenient in locating suspects and
those wanted for some ofrense. The large
bulk of the turbulent element make
rooming houses their permanent place
of abode, and If record is kept Of each
inmate 1t makes it easier for the police
TO locate any one who is wanted.

NOT GOING ON THE STAGE
Mrs. Molineux Has Her Divorce All
Right and Will Return to

New York, Sept 4.-sNfrs:. Blanche Cheese
brough Molineux. who went to South Da-
kota last Novemberi has secured a de-
cree Of absolute diAaree All doubt on
that point was settled last night, when
Lawyer Alexander q. Young, who has
been. recently retained as counsel by Mrs
Molineux, called in reporters and made
a formal statement to that effect.
! ct is true that Mrs. MolineuX has Sc
cured decree Of absolute divorce from
Roland Burnham Molineux. She has
resumed her maiden name and is now
Blanche Chesebrough. She came to this
city on Tuesday on important business,
and will soon return to Sioux Falls, which
IS now her home. We have decided to
make this formal statement in order to
put an end to speculation as to whether
there is a divorce or not. That is all
that can be said.''
Mrs. Moliredx sat on couch with her
lawyer and whispered to him from time to
time in the course Of the interview, but
she refused to say anything herself for
publication. She parted several questions
and always referred to Mr.. Young. -.
When Mr.. Young was asked if she had
read either of Roland B. Molineuxs books,
the woman with the divorce leaned back
and held her sides to stop the ache from
laughing too hard. Mr.. Young couldn't
tell anything about his clients literary
habits.
He declared she had.n no intention of
going on the stage. Asked If his client
was about to be married again he said
that the notion was absurd

The First Premium coachers.

The usual thing happened yesterday
when Mclaughlin Brothers won all the
premiums with their French stations. For
the past ten years Mclaughlin Brothers
have exhibited coachers at all the leading
state fairs and horse shows, including the
Chicago horse show, and the Madison
Square Garden horse show in New York,
and they have always taken all the firsts.
It is the aim Of Mclaughlin Brothers
to buy, in France, none but the very best.
and this year they were fortunate enough
to get number that had been reserved
for the government. Among these was
the celebrated four-year-old French
coacher, Vauban.
Vauban Is considered the highest acting
and most beautiful coach stallion that ever
left France and he easily won the first
prize In the largest field Of coach stations
that has ever been exhibited at the Min
nesota State Fair.
At the Ohio state fair, which is also
being held this week at Columbus, Nc
Laughln Brothers won every first prize
both in draft and in coach stations. The
Twin Cities are to be congratulated upon
having firm of such wide reputation and
enterprise, locate here. where people car
visit their stables, at Midway, at any time
and see the prize winners.
