AN EXTENSIVE THIEF,
A Fellow in Boarder's Trunk in the Hall Too
Much for Jack Flaherty,

Mayor Powell had before him yesterday
afternoon quite an extensive operator IN
the thieving line. 1t was Jacob Flaherty,
a f1agman on the Seaboard Air Line. His
accuser was r. c.. Norman. Both boarded
at Mrs R. P. Hills, on Halifax street,
and here the robbery took place, Nor
mans trunk in the hallway proving too
tempting for Flaherty. The articles he
took were some railroad stock of $1,000
par value, life insurance policy for $3.50
in the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, and a diamond ring, revolver, a
pocket-book, a dollar or two of old coin
and dress suit vest. All these things
were found in Flaherty's room when it
was searched on authority of a search
warrant, except the ring, and his wife
was wearing that He freely admitted his
guilt, and said the railroad stock and
life insurance policy had gone up in smoke.
He is a rather good-looking young man OF
about twenty-five years of age. The
mayor sent him to Jail in default of bond
of $780,
other cases before the mayor yesterday
were John Greer, fined 1925 for disorder
ly conduct, and Annie Hunter $5.25 for a
like offense.

slain man that he is none other than
the noted Lowery, wanted for killing the
chief of police at Shelby few years ago,
and for whom a reward of $500 has been
offered. The gold filings in the front teeth

A DESPERATE FIGHT
Republican Factions in the city Fight
ing for Supremacy at the conVen-
tion Thursday.

There is probably the fiercest
political fight being waged by the
different factions in the Republic
can party today, that has ever
been indulged in by any political
party in the city. Their admins
tration of city affairs during the
past year has brought disgrace
upon the city and also upon the
Republican party. Every mem-
per of the party denies being
responsible in any way for what
has been done, and they place
the beanie upon the "other fell
low" Hammond is making the
fight of his life TO control the
party in the future, as he has in
the past. He has considerable
following, and his strong person
atty has had a great deal to do
with his past success as "a leader.
But he is up against a pretty
strong proposition today. He has
made mistakes and in doing SO,
has made enemies. They swear
by all that's good, they will have
his scalp. They have the knife
up their sleeve ready to use at
any time. The colored brethren
(and they are a strong factor in
Republican politics in the city,
are TO man against "Mistah"
Hammond, They claim they
have been ignored in the dishing
out of patronage and in the future
they are determined TO occupy a
prominent place at the pie count
er. 1t is not our fight, but we
suggest to the enemies of Mr..
Hammond that when they get HIS
scalp, they will know there has
been a fight, and some body very
badly hurt. In the words of the
ancient scribe, we would say
"Lay on, McDuff, and damned
be he who first cries, "Hold,
enough"

AN EXTRA SENATE SESSION.

Not only have the republicans
by a systematic serial horse-play
in the Senate, defeated statehood
for the territories in any form this
session, but they have succeeded
in accomplishing 50 little that an
extra session must needs be cal
led by the president for the rati-
fication of pending treaties.
This places the republican par
ty at the head of the do-nothing
column. AS ime-killers they are
certainly entitled to the loving cup
With all the session before them
since the fore part Of December
last, and nothing else to do, they
have not even found time TO pass
on a couple of treaties that were
laid on the table.
But they have been very busy,
very busy. They had an om-
nibus statehood bill to play with,
and business matters were for
gotten in the sport, while time
passed 50 swiftly as they were
bounding gladly DER the green
that they were oblivious Of every
thing else in the madcap chase
with Omnibus Bill. In fact MOTH
ing else but time did pass. Bill
was such a joyous companion
that even the naughty trusts were
forgotten for a whole session of
congress.
But Bill is dead now. AS the
senatorial clods clatter upon his
casket, the republican leaders
suddenly remember that in past
chore time and the trusts have
not been MIXED. And there is
the octopus to feed and the tariff
magnates to turn out to pasture.
No time for treaties and chats
with the neighbors.
So there must be an extra ses-
sion of the Senate, because that
body fooled away three months
playing with Omnibus Bill. But
it will be noticed at the same time
that there has been no antitrust
legislation, and there would have
been no excuse for it had it not
been for the opportune coming of
Bill.-Oklahoman.

A Diversified Crop.

Oklahoma newspapers are ad-
vising the farmers of Oklahoma
TO raise more corn, wheat, cattle
and chickens, and depend less
upon cotton. Itis true the cotton
crop yields ready money early in
the fall, and a moderate crop is
all right, but a large cotton crop
means that poor mans chill
dren need have no hope of at
tending school before Christmas,
and their school term does not
last more than two months dur
ING the win ter, as the early
spring work takes them from
school before they have hardly
got started in nicely. II is a
mistaken idea, that cotton is the
only crop which will do well in
Oklahoma. As a rule, anything
which can be raised to advan-
tage in the neighboring states,
will do still better in Oklahoma.
Farmers, remember that while
big cotton crop is a source of
much satisfaction, and consider
able income, your little ones
have right TO a certain amount
.of schooling each year. and as a
general thing. it will be more
profitable in the end TO keep them
in the school-room instead of
putting in long. weary months
in the cotton field, first chopping
out the surplus plants, then hoe
ing the crop, and lastly. the in
terminable picking. which con-
tinues until cold weather. Give
the children a chance to secure
an education, while you prove 60
the country at large, that while
Oklahoma is a leader in produce
ing cotton, she is equally fitted
to take her place among the
wheat corn, and livestock states.

been presented, it should be voted

cans will certainly agree to this
as there is no money in the po-
sition and they are very anxious
to get the colored man s vote

received the nomination for
