FIRST ABSOLUTE PARDON.
Governor Issues One to Jerry Shook
From Woodward County.

Guthrie. Q. T., Aug. 11.-As a result OF
trip to the Kansas penitentiary at
Lansing last week and conversation with
convicts from Oklahoma confined in that
institution Governor T. B. Ferguson
issued his first absolute pardon today, re-
leasing Jerry Shook, a boy 20 years OF
age sentenced from woodward county
on January 13, 1903, for one and one
half years Joohn Shook. father of the
boy. was sentenced to three and one
half years in the penitentiary. both father
and son being tried and convicted for
grand larceny.
Last fall and winter settlers and cat
tlemen in Woodward county. in certain
localities were having trouble. The set
tiers had an organization for the pur-
pose OF protecting their crops and feed.
One night the settlers held meeting at
school house and the next morning the
hide and offal of a steer were found on
Shocks farm. a day or two later young
Shook and a neighbor dug hole, bury
ing the hide and offal, and it was in
this manner that he became implicated
in the case.
Governor Ferguson wa sappealed to at
that time and the case laid before him.
No definite action was taken, however.
and when Governor Ferguson visited Ian
sing he made it a point to talk with
young Shook. In speaking of the matter
today, Governor Ferguson declared that
he believed young Shook innocent and
in reading over the papers found little
or no evidence against him.
An effort is being made to secure a
pardon for the father of the boy. Here
tofore Governor Ferguson has been op-
posed to issuing pardons. even under ex-
traordinary circumstances.

COMPILING INFORMATION.
Delegate Mcclure Is Giving Heed to
Pension Applicants.

Guthrie, o. T.. Aug 11.-Since his term
of office began, Delegate Bird S. Mcclure
has received many letters from old SOL
diers asking the status of their applica-
tions for pensions or requests for an in
crease of pension. Mr.. Mcclure has
been in frequent communication with the
pension department relative to these
claims. and finds that many of them are
of long standing. The information he is
receiving in regard to the various cases
will be compiled by him this summer in
order that he may easily take up the
claims when he reaches Washington this
winter.
Delegate MCGUIRE is in hearty sympa-
thy with the old soldiers, among other
things because of his father having worn
the blue. While he realizes that secur-
ing pensions or an increase of the same
is a difficult thing. yet Delegate Mcclure
is anxious TO do everything possible for
the old soldiers.

PHOTOGRAPHS OF SCENERY.
All Pictures Must Be Of the Standard
Size

Guthrie. o. T, Aug. 1.-THE terrific
rial Worlds Fair commissioners have
found the question OF the exhibition of
photographs OF Oklahoma scenery. crops,
public buildings, cities. etc. to be a seri-
Gus problem. After investigating the
matter fully and consulting with the ex-
position officials at St. Louis. they have
reached the conclusion that a satisfac-
tory showing can be made only by re-
quiring all photographs to be Of the stand
ard size and quality, and the only way to
secure this is to have them taken by the
same artist. To carry out this plan, j.
B. Kent, of Chandler, has been elected
official photographer for the exhibit and
all pictures to be placed in the exhibit
must be taken by Mr.. Kent. Owing to
the limited appropriation at the COM
mand of the commission it has been de-
termined that the expenses of taking
photographs must be met by the individu-
ais or communities interested in having
the same shown.
Mr. Kent is under agreement with the
commission to visit any point in Okla
homa on the railway and take three neg
atives for $50 or five for s1000, finishing
one picture from each negative with the
approval and acceptance of the COM
mission, and which shall be placed in the
territorial exhibit These pictures will all
be of high standard in point of artistic
merit. Il by II inches in size. and mounted
with uniform mats adopted by the com
mission. The photographs of public
buildings of all kinds. street scenes and
bird s-eye views in cities. farm scenes,
fine residences, natural scenery, manufac-
turing institutions, etc. are wanted, and
parties desiring to have such pictures
placed in the exhibit should correspond
with MIR. Kent or address any member
of the Worlds Fair commission.

in any one locality. but were written
by individuals, some of whom live in
counties remote from pasture reserve or
Indian lands, all of whom are anxious to
have every foot of available land in the
territory opened 10 white settlement.
The prevailing idea in the congratula-
tory letters is that if Oklahoma at the
present time can make such a splendid
showing. with many more thousand acres
of land settled by white farmers, the
population and resources of the territory
will he much increased and much more
startling array of figures can then be
presented showing why Oklahoma is en-
titled to statehood.
Regardless of political affiliation. per-
sons have written TO Delegate Mcclure
saying that they are interested in the
outcome of his efforts for larger area
of settled land and assuring him of their
hearty support in this matter

The weather certainly was queer for
the last day Of December. The sun
'shone brightly down on leafess trees
and brown fields, and a fresh warm
breeze blew from the south making IT
Ike day in late September. The
wide eNpanse of meadows and wheat
fields stretching away back OF the
dozen farm-houses that composed the
tiny village seemed to be basleing in
the mellow, hazy sunlight that covered
the whole landscape as with a garment.

yellow almanac behind the shining
stove in the kitchen, where yellow al
manacs had hung for more than fifty
years, and then went to the dining
