sented Without Com
ment.

/ W. 4. Long, OF Dewey, Friday caused
a warrant TO issue from the commits
sioner's court for the arrest Of Morris
Knight charging an assault with a
murderous weapon. Both men re-
turned TO the city on the Katy train
at o'clock this morning not knowing
of the presence of the other. Both
have been conducting legal battle
for a long time for possession OF a
valuable parcel of property.
Long charges that when he got OIL
the train knight engaged him In con-
versation regarding the dispute. Long
replied, Let the commissioner settle
it, Then knight drew revolver
and said; "I'll settle IL now Long
then took the revolver away and kept
Knight prisoner until City Marshal

secured the weapon and, pointing il
At him, held him until Marshal Rid

ALL TRAINS
ARE RUNNING
Katy Operators Have Evidently
Lost Their Strike.

It is reported Friday that every tele
graph oiiice along the line Of the Katy
road is supplied with operators except
Wybark
In this city J. II. Wilson, of Deni'
soh, formerly Of the live stock depart
ment, assumed the duties Of agent,
and f. b. Spicer those of day operator
Tie latter came from the Santa Fe
system Both gentlemen consider
their stay in Ninita to be only tempo
rary, expecting that the strike will be
adjusted, as many Of the men who
went out have returned.
The company is re-employing the
strikers whenever there is vacancy,
IN case the men were not leaders or
''agltators,
Until today an trains ran under a
slower schedule than usual.
A Kansas City paper announced that
the tralnmen would refuse 10 lead or
unload freight al stations abandoned
by the strikers and where there are
agents who took their positions. Local
train crews today denied this and, az
Vinita at least, freight was handled
and conductors took orders as usual.
General Manager Allen has issued
the following bulletin:
'The business OF the Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas railway is not impaired by
reason OF the strike Of the 0rder Of
Railway Telegraphers. Trains are
running on schedule time and live
stock and perishable freighting are
being accepted and handled with Gus
tomary dispatch. So far as the pas
seuger service is concerned. there IS
absolutely no delay to trains and the
line IS handling as much business as
before the strike Was declared. '
Tie leaders and officers OF the ope-
ators union at Sedalia and Parsons
claim that the train service Is badly
crippled, and that tile men viii Vet

NEW FIRE APPARATUS


The chief objection to some Of the

ficulty Of getting the 1re-nghting OUT
At from the house to the street and
thence to the scene of the fre. In the
case of the big extension ladder ap-
paratus tillerman is required to guide
the rear end of the truck, his duties
being just as important as those Of the
driver who handles the reins. 1t Is
doubtful II one Of these heavy trucks
can be brought to majority of the
fires in time to render much assistance.
and yet every fire department has on
record instances where lives have been
saved by the use of this apparatus
which could not have been reached in
any other way. There has recently
been designed novel form Of exten-
sion ladder, which at least has tho
merit of compactness to recommend it..

paratus is in the form of a series of
hinged steel sections, which are capa-
BILE of being wound up on a rotary
drum while not in use, but which i'm
mediately assume nearly vertical po-
sition when the drum is revolved to
unwind the sections. Guy wires are
used to steady the rising ladder, which
would otherwise double up at dne of
its numerous joints and topple to the

FINE TOBACCO IN TEXAS.
A Superior Grade, EqIal to the FaA
NOUS Vuelta AbajO, II Pro-
duced in Eastern Texas.

The United States department of
agriculture has decided to make the lit
tie town of Nacogdoches, in east Texas,
ton in the world, and it is announced
that on August / plant for the curing.
baling and warehousing of all tobaccos
grown at experimental stations in the
south will be opened there, with ex-
perts of the department of agriculture
in charge.
This decision is the outcome of ex-
| periments and tests which have been
going on in east Texas for the last year
and half. Coupled with the announce
ment of the eopening of the Nacogdoches
curing station is the statement that the
that tobacco grown in the soil of east
Texas is the equal If not superior
of the celebrated and costly tobacco
grown in the Vuelta Abajo district of
Pinar del Rio, Cuba, known as the fin
est tobacco in the world.
Nacogdoches is near the Louisiana
Beaumont. Here the experiments have
been conducted by L. H. Shelter, the
expert of the department of agrlcul-
ture of filler tobacco. He declares that
the aromatic quality of Texas leaf is as
pronounced as the other chief charac-
teristics of the plant, all Of which are
singularly like the high type of Cuban
leaf found in Pinar del Rio.
The Texas plant bears a striking re-
semblance to its Cuban relative. 1t is
not heavy or vigorous, rank or over
grawn plant, but short coupled, and
ranging from ten to fourteen leaves to
the stalk. 1t is of medium size, and
has the fuzzy,velvety appearance of the
Cuban type.
The remarkable soil of east Texas
has long been suspected of harboring
treasures of kind most unusual, and
more than year ago members of the
United States soil survey were sent
there to examine and report Their re-
port was such that DR.. Milton Whitney,
chief of the bureau Of soils and tobac-
co plants, by direction of Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson, detailed Mr.. Shell
fer and his assistants to go to east
Texas and make a careful and practical
culture of the plant in the particular
soil selected, which SO closely resem-
bles the soil of the famous Vuelta
Abajo.
The wonderfully favorable climate.
as we'll as the extraordinary soil con-
dition-the former incident to the gulf
clouds, morning fogs and dews, which
are thought to influence the delightful
aroma and flavor of Cuban tobacco
and the striking resemblance of the
Cuban and Texas plants were addition
al reasons which led the department Of
agriculture to start its Investigations
in tho Texas field.

AIR OF POVERTY DRAWS COIN.


The famous vicar of Gorleston, whose
originalities occasionally find their way
into public prints, decided recently he
wanted new cassocks and surplices for
his choir. On a recent Sunday he an
nounced the collection in the church
that morning would be devoted to this
purpose.
II think there must be little mis-
understanding between us" was his
comment at the evening service. Il
did not ask you to give me surplice,
but the whole Of Gorleston parish choir.
Thirty-two and six, the amount of your
offerings this morning, will not go far
towards doing that now. am frank
to own a surpliced choir is luxury
which is not necessary to salvation.
The church wardens tell me you are
too poor to provide surplices. l think
otherwise, but when I'm poor do with
out luxuries. You must do the same.
Whether Gorleston has surpliced choir
or not depends entirely upon you."
The next Sunday morning strange
spectacle greeted the astonished eyes
Of the congregation, for the choir, which
is the pride of East Anglia, presented
spectacle Of poverty and destitution ter
rible to witness. Some wore surplices,
some cassocks, and some were clad in
both. Some had nothing on but the
oldest week day clothing, one mans
surplice being tatters from his shoul-
ders, while another's cassock was in
rags. The music was cut down to mini
mum chants. 1t is said the voices Of the
boys almost failed. Then that night
the church wardens could hardly stag
ger up the chancel with the weight of
the coins the repentant congregation
later the vicar, with satisfied smile,
went to London to buy complete out
fit for the choir.

FIFTY YEAR ROMANCE ENDS.
Childhood Sweethearts Meet After
Half = Century and Are Married
at Belleville, Ill.

A romance more than half century
old has eliminated at Belleville, ILL.,, in
the marriage of Christopher Deininger
to Mrs. Eva Halle. Mr.. Deininger is rs
years old, and his bride is 10. AS chill
the boy, nine years older than the girl
watched tenderly over her. As they
grew older they still held their affec-
ton for one another, and at last were
betrothed.
They were separated, however, and
after few years both married others
and each had family. For years they
never heard of one another, as they had
moved to other cities.
Recently they met in Belleville, and
renewed their old friendship. This rap
idly ripened into the old love, and they
were married and left on the wedding
journey they might have taken more
than so years ago.

WORLDS FAIR sTATuARY.
This Little Article Tells How It u
Made and Also of what "stan"
IL Composed.

THE process Of creating the larg
pieces Of statuary out of staff is yer.
interesting" writes Katherine Louis
Smith, In Pearson's. After the sculp
tor has sent his accepted model to tn
fair, the work Of enlargement begins
and one or several pieces, as occasion re
quires, are finished. each Of which is al
exact counterpart of the model on al
enlarged scale.
"Staff is simply long fiber soaked II
plaster Of paris, mixed thin with water
This fiber, which is generally Mexican
comes In bales Of 100 pounds, and on 1t!
arrival in the rope stage is run through
machines to loosen it. Made with thii
hemp fiber, staff can be sawed, hammered
and whitfield like wood, while various
forms can be made as effectively as with
plaster Of paris alone.
"A staff modeler proceeds exactly a:
though his work was to be executed II
Parian marble or enduring bronze, in.
stead of perishable plaster. A framework
of wood or iron is first made, CORE
spending to the model which it is in
tended to copy. A huge pointer. some
what like the pentagraph used by ar'
students, is used in obtaining the cor.
rect enlargement. one point resting or
the model and the other dotting the en-
larged counterpart. Every inch Of the
statue in process of making Is thus &C.
curately measured.
'The man who executes this first pro-
cess in the formation of staff slaps huge
handfuls of wet staff on the wooden
framework, shaping it crudely with
thumb and fingers, and incessantly u.s.
ing the huge pentagraph for measure
ments.
From the man at the pentagraph, the
shapeless image passes to the modeler.
If large piece is under construction, 1t
is placed on platform with rollers, that
the modeler may turn the figure easily
as he shapes the piece with staff, using
his hands to put on necessary additions,
smoothing rought places with his fin
gers and with spatula. and cutting wire.
doing ALL in fact, but the last refining
and smoothing processes. During re-
spites of labor, while the figure is at
this stage, 1t Is covered with damp
cloth to keep it from cracking.
"The last process is the work Of the
sculptor, who is an expert. He finishes
the staff replica like the smaller model
from which it is the enlarged counter
part, coating the staff with shellac and
adding refining touches until he is salts
fed with it,"
