WEATHERFORD
BOND MATTER
is APPROVED
Normal Board ofRegents Hold
Meeting at Guthrie.
SUMMERSCHOOL PROPOSAL
Turned Down Because of Lack
of Funds.

Guthrie. O. t, JAN 3.-The board OF
regents for the normal school continued
the meeting at Guthrie today which 1t
began yesterday at Edmond.
The weatherford school bond matter
was taken up and outside of few cleri-
cal erorrs. the bonds were declared to be
all right by Attorney General Roberts
The ywill be returned and when remedied
the board VIII accept them.
One Of the most important matters be-
fore the board at this meeting outside Of
the regular quarterly settlement was the
proposition of having a summer term at
the normal school. The presidents of the
schools appealed to the board but the
board turned the proposition down for this
year The members decided that there is
not enough money for this purpose when
other Improvements are needed more
badly.
The presidents of the schools were
prompted by the teachers who can only
attend normal at this time of year. The
board will in all probability adopt this
plan in a year.

ADvIcEs OF CONFIRMATION.
Powers Decline to Accept indemnity
on Silver 6isas.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The state depart
ment has received confirmatory advices
from Pelxin of the declination of the
powers to receive their second indemnity
installment on the silver basis. 1t is not
understood that the declination was ac-
companied By a threat, but the actor
itself is regarded as sinister. IL has been
suggested. II is not taken with a view
to making record OF the position of the
powers in this matter. The situation is
regarded here is warranting some con-
cern, though, unless the Washington gov
ernment is to utterly discredit every
statement OF the powers in the past two
ears whenever a possibility OF a division
of China came UP, it cannot believe that
there is an intention to proceed to ex-
tremes. 1t Is again suggested that the
time is ripe for reference of this import
ant issue to The Hasne tribunal. con-
summation devoutly wished for by China
and a cause which has commended itself
to the washington government. The
United States which is interested equally
with the other powers is getting as much
money as it can in the shape OF indemnity
still feels bound by moral law to support
the Chinese contention for the silver basis
looking rot only upon the language OF
the protocol and the Pekin treaty itself,
but also having a solicitious regard Tor
China's integrity and peipetuity as ma
ton. The other powers are united in de-
manding a settlement on the gold basis
This is an issue which in the mind OF the
officials here is eminently adapted to the
methods of arbitration. Sa far China
also has suggested reference to The
Hague tribunal, but it is possible and
even probable that if the powers are
going to extremes. the United States gov
ernment will seem bound to discharge it's
duty under article q, of The Hague trib-
unal and point the way to arbitration.

AWFUL TRAGEDY NEAR LURAY.
Philip Alger Killed Brothers Wife
While Returning From Party.

fatal shooting ARRAY occurred near
the foot of Tanners Bridge, in Marks
vile district, Page county, IL miles
! south Of Lury, about twilight last Sun
day, in which Mrs. Annie l.. Alger.
wife of Asby Alger, of that section, was
instantly killed. having been shot by
Philip Alger. a brother of Ashby Alger.
The Algers, together with several
friends, had left Marksville early in the
evening for their home, several miles
distant, some of the party being on
horseback, while others were walking
The testimony of Ashby Alger, at the
inquest, held at Marksville before tbs
coroner, DR.. w. L. Hudson, of Luray,
was that the members of the party had
proceeded peaceably on their journey
homeward until they reached the foot
Of Tanners Bridge, when Philip Alger
who was in advance of the others,
wheeled around in the road and fired
shot in the direction those behind,
demanding with an oath, that they
come no farther Mrs. Alger was in
the front and received the ball in the
abdomen, producing instant death.
The dead woman's husband imme-
diately left the scene of the tragedy,
starting in the direction of Marksville
for an officer, but soon met several
friends, and with them returned to
where his wife was lying in the road,
her head being supported by Mrs. John
w. Alger, mother of the Algers When
he reached the spot he says that Philip
Alger was standing over the dead body
of his wife. waving his pistol and re-
marking: her, let her COL" At
| this juncture Ashby Alger struck Philip
with a rock, and the two men in the
struggle for the possession of the pis-
toll fell almost across the body of thA

TURNED
OUT TO BE GIRL.
Young Girl Masqueraded in Mems
Clothes for Weeks at Primers Point


Primers Point colored people have a
mystery which they have unrayeled.
The solution of it came when a dele
cation of the mystified waited on a
young darkey who recently established
a cleaning and pressing establishment
at Primers Point.
The announcement in this hitherto
unknown case was startling in the ex-
IRENE. The youth in question came to
this section from parts unknown some
weeks ago and settled down to work
promptly, doing to all outward APP
pearances a thriving business. The
proprietor of the pressing establish
ment was good looking, in fact at
tractive, both as to manner and appear
ance. She went by the name Of
Robinson
The mysterious stranger, who would
tell nothing about himself or his past,
became an object Of suspicion, despite
the fact that he wore boys clothing
well and was good at entertaining those
whom he favored with his society Shy
singing and paying on many instru-
ments. 1t was apparent~ that he was
an accomplished musician Robinson,
as he was known in Primers Point, be-
came a favorite among his customers
and his business prospered.
The curiousity of the colored women
was aroused, instinctively, it would APP
pear, and the strangers actions were
closely watched. 1t is not known what
revealed the true character of the OBJ
ject Of their suspicion, but suffice il
to say that the genial proprietor of the
cleaning and pressing shop, who had
such wealth Of mems garments which
che" wore so beeomingly, turned out
to be girl.
1t is not thought that the authorities
will take any official notice of the mas
querade, which harmed nobody in par
ticular, but that the matter will be al
lowed to drop. What prompted the
freak can only be conjectured. 1t is
Plibely that, so far as any action by the
authorities is concerned, however, that
the cleaning and pressing business will
be permitted to go on as before.

WARsHIPs WILL STAY AT BEIRUT.

Withdrawal of the American war
ships from Beirut seems unlikely for
the present, in view of cablegram re-
ceived at the state department several
days ago from Minister Leishman at
Constantinople. stating that although
his adyices from Beirut indicate that
the situation is quiet just now, nothing
like permanent order has been estab-
lished
1t is indicated in Mr. Leishman Sea
blegram that the departure of the war
ships might be the occasion for re-
newal of the riots This confirms the
opinion held by the state department
officials that the quiet at Beirut is due
directly to the presence of American
warships off that port.
| Minister Leishman adds that the new
| governor of Beirut is actively inaugu-
rating reforms there. but that it is not
yet certain he will be able to handle
the situation.
Rear Admiral Cotton cables the navy
department under date of Beirut, Sep
| TENDER rs, that Beirut is quiet and that
/ the case of the American consul is still
pending.
