MINER WAS
KILLED BY
EXPLOSION
Supposed That Black Damp

WAS IGNITED BY LAMP
Other Miners Were Not Near
at the lime.

Anderson. I. T, Jan. s.--A fatal expio-
sion occurred at mine No. .. Tuesday. in
which Uncle Johnnie McEwen, one Of
the best known miners III the district,
and an expert fire boss. lost his life.
1t seems taht Mr.. McEwen entered an
abandoned entry TO get some rails TO be
used in another part of the mine. There
was no one working near him at the time,
This entry has a connection with shaft
No. /, which was abandoned several years
ago. II is supposed that the black damp
mine and when Mr.. McEwen went into
the entry the gas became ignited from:
his lamp. a terrific explosion followed.
Flames darted out from the entry and
extended quite a distance along other
portions of the mine, terrifying the
miners. The fire lasted only a short
time
The miners were hoisted up and n
searching party organized to find Nc
in the part of the mine where the ex-
plosion occurred.
just about u o'clock the body of the
dead boss was hoisted up. He was burned
frightfully.
1t is indeed fortunate that there was
TO othe rminers in the entry at the time
for the explosion was of such magnitude
as to deal death to all.
The deceased was one of the oldest citi-
zens of Anderson. a spplendid man: a
member of the NJ. +. church, Mason.

EFFECTS OF MEScAL BEAN.
Indians See Many Things After Diet.
ina Few DAYS.

Guthrie, o. T., Jan. s.-The Usage Jour-
Eal, in telling of the Mescal bean, says:
After eating the ban for n couple of
days the Indians are lined up with their
faces toward the rising sun and as the
sun arises the victims are asked If they
see Christ. The Indians have seen him
riding n mule and many other ways But
it took a coon TO recognize him riding
IN an automobile. OF men and young
men, women and maidens. all take part
young men do not take part in this
unique performance, but are extremely
jealous OF the old medicine mans posi-
ton. Before the bean gets its full ef-
feet upon the victim. two days and as
many nights have passed.
Then the victims sleep for day and
night. during which time the victim
dreams of beautiful things as well as
claim they see Christ. No power. 1t
would seem can wake them while they
are under the influence of this bean.
When they awaken they are in an ex
tremely nervous state and the smallest
thing to happen causes them to fiy into
fury and often times take their vengeance
cut on humans as well as dumb brutes.
After this they go down 10 the river
and jump in and take swim.
The Indians who do not eat il are pro-
nounced bs the medicine man as devils.

FARMERS
COMBINE
ON WHEAT
Will Organize Lodges in Ok
Iahoma.
is FRATERNAL ORDER
Growth Has Been Rapid in
Wheat States.

Perry, Q. T., Jan. S.-An organization
among the farmers which is growing rap
idly and becoming strong. is known as
the "Fraternal Order of American Far
.ners" At present it is covering the
wheat states of Minnesota. North and
South Dakota. Nebraska, Kansas, Okla
hcma and Indian territory.
The object of the organization, says the
Republican, is for the protection OF the
farmers against low prices of farm pro-
ducts, especially wheat. The order IS a
secret one and they have a cipher code
by which they keep their mmbers at all
times posted on the status Of markets
ard when to hold and when to dispose
of crops. The organization is much stron-
Ger than many imagine and they are
learning that a farmers trust is as easy
managed in the interests of the farmer
as any other class of men. 1t is well
known fact that it costs 43 cents per
bushel to produce wheat and in order to
give the farmer a living margin which
will enable him to live and keep his fam
lily as humanity should be treated, he
must at least receive 60 cents bushel
for his wheat and this the order of far
mers propose to get for their wheat or
hold it. Nearly every county in Okla
homa is organized and whe nall the coun-
ties throughout all the above named
states get together, they can corner the
wheat market in the face of all the trusts
in America. They have set cut with
determination and even now their force
is felt -.--- ---
One admirable feature about this organ
ization is that they are not going to con-
f'ict with the retail merchant or mid
ole man; all they are seeking is price
for their wheat that viii Insure a reas-
enable support of their families. and this
they are determined to have. There will
be no cooperative stores established nor
advice given that farmers should trade
with Montgomery Ward & Co, Sears.
Roebuck & Co. The American farmer
has grown rapidly wise during the past
two decades and he knows that the home
merchants treat him right and that he is
generally safe in their hands All he is
asking that he receive price for his
PRODUCTS which will enable him to trade
goods.
There is no reason why the farmers
should not combine for protection. and
form such a combination that the break
ers of the financial ocean can not pass
over. 1t is a matter of their getting to-
gether and sticking together From pres
ent indications it looks as though there
would be such a strong alliance that
nothing can waver ii.
The Noble county officers are as fol-
lows:
President, E. c. Rice. Orlando; secre-
tary. l.. B. Irwin, Pedee; treasurer, VIM.
King. Polo.
These officers have called a meeting for
Thursday. January 10. at o'clock D. m,
at the court house. All the farmers are
cordially invited. W. T. Dalton and other
speakers will be present to entertain the
crowd 1t is the duty of every farmer to
be present and help to champion his own
cause.

POSTOFFlCE is BAROMETER.
lawton Has Done Great Business in
Past Year

Lawton, o. T., Jan. S.-The Republican
declares that the postoftice is barome-
ter that unerringly indicates the busi-
ress being done in any community, and
this being true, Lawton has reason for
congratulation.
Postmaster White, when seen by rep
resentatiVe, said:
Our stamp business for the year has
kept up to the high standard established
during the opening days of Lawton, only
that the sales now are on legitimate basis
of actual residents and not due 10 the
heavy floating population that patronized
the postoffice in the early days.
''Our money order and registered let
ter departments also show as much bus
mess as at the beginning of Lawton's
history and taking all these things to-
eether 1 am compelled to say that Law
ton is today a much better place than
it was one year ago.
In the past year the Office has been
enlarged by the addition of a building
in the rear. and one new clerk has be.n
added to the force but still we are kept
busy handling the vast volume of mail.
During Christmas week we handled at
least one-third more mail than we did
Il year ago, and during the entire year
we have had all we could do. though our
facilities were much improved.

been a record breaker for business in
Mangum although it has always been a
good trading point.
aangum draws trade from every quar-
ter of the empire county OF Greer and
quite a good deal comes from Texas Pan
handle country or the west and some
from Roger Mills, Washita and Kiowa
counties, Oklahoma
The advent OF the new year brings with
it flattering prospects for continued pros
perity in Mangum and Greer county.
Crops were all fairly good the past year,
and feed, which was very scarce last
winter, is in abundant supply now.
There have been aboundant and fire.
.quent rains the past fan and the ground
is in fine condition for winter ploughing
and the many wheat fields throughout
the country are beautiful TO behold.
The several rev railroads to be built
in and through the county this coming
year will bring people and money in. and
do much toward developing the county
and whatever helps Greer county, helps
Mangum. Mangum's business men have
shown their appreciation Of the big trade
afforded them by the people of the county
by building many large and substantial
stone business buildings during the year
The changes made in the business build
inSs about the square in Mangum during
the year of 1902, We're so many and
marked that persons who had been away
a year would not recognize the place.
The future prospect for Mangum and
o., he
cations are that the new year just
launched will bring greater prosperity
and development than the one just ended.
