remarkable.

night and in some way while in the
room displaced the furnace pipe which
runs directly through their room and
also through a stove pipe radiator. AT
FIVE in the morning Miss Mabelle was
awakened BY the smell OF gas and rushed
down stairs to arouse The household,
where later she was overcome. When
the family arrived in the upper rooms
they found Miss Pansy lying face down
upon the floor with head and face brius-
cd. She evidently awoke and struggled
to reach the door but was overcome.
Doctors were called and the young la
dies revived from their semi -unconsci-

QUAIL INCREASING.
Stringent Law May Double the Game
Next Season.

With favorable weather conditions
during the nesting season next spring,
there should be more quail in Oklaho-
ma in the fall of 1904 than at any
time since the country was opened.
The game law enacted by the last
legislature was so prohibltiye that
during the present open season for
quail, which closes February 1, the
Killing Of birds was reduced to a min
lmum Not only was it against the
law for any person to ship quail TO
points outside of Oklahoma, but an
Oklahoma sportsman could not ship
quail on common carriers from one
point to another in Oklahoma Rail-
road and express companies dare not
accept prohibitiye game for shipment
The Oklahoman who ate quail this
year either killed them himself or
caused some person to violate the law
in buying them.
One OF the most extensive dealers
in sportsmens supplies said recently
that his ammunition sales were not
more than so per cent of what they
were three years ago and that his
trade in shotguns had dropped to al
most nothing. In other years" he
said, lit was easy for a farmers boy
to induce his father to loan him Slo
or 500 to buy a shotgun, knowing that
upon the close Of winter he could XIII
enough quail to pay for his gun. But
when local and outside markets were
closed against him. he could not do
this, and consequently did not buy a
gun this year"
The game law has been strictly en-
forced this season and many heavy
fines, sometimes as high as $500, i'm
posed upon violators There has been
an abundance of quail, and IN severa
western counties, especially Day
prairie chicken were plentiful

ouAY's POSITION.
Removes Last Hope of Double State
hooders.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 22-The
last hope of the advocates Of double
statehood for Oklahoma and Indian
territories has vanished. Senator
Quay who was the backbone of the
fight last winter, who marshalled the
advocates of double statehood Ia a sol
i'd phalanx and who caused the leaders
of the denominant party in the senate
so much anxiety, has departed from
Washington for Florida where he will
remain for the next three or four
months. He will not return to the
national capital unless measures of
great Importance come before con-
gress in which he or his constituents
are directly Interested.
The departure Of Senator Quay is
the strongest indication that there
will be no contest this winter by the
advocates Of double statehood for Ok
lahoma and Indian territories. 1t in
dicates that those who believe that
double statehood should be accorded
these territories have bowed to the in
evitable now and will take their med
icine, so TO speak.
Representative Lamar. of Missouri
