Lawton, o. r, April 6.-Mrs. Throck-

ter, from near Sterling, in this county,
have been arrested for the murder of her
husband. The deceased was near 60. had
been in the asylum for some time, and
very soon after being brought back sud

among the neighbors, the coroner was
sent for, but arrived after the burial and
returned without examination. AS the
talk continued the coroner exhumed the
body and took it to Norman, where an
examination revealed poison in the stom-
ach. The daughter was released on a
$500 bond, as it appeared that she was not
ct home at the time of the death.

From Missouri comes a plan when

This is nothing more than frequent

From Secretary George b. Ellis, OF

Our advice to farmers is to look into
this matter Of dragging roads. That 1t
is simple there is no denying. In fact,
it is so simple that some may under

The ManIiness of Mr.. Bryan and That

ESpringf1eld, (Mass.), Republican,
1t may be a bitter thought, yet cam
dor cornpels the statement that the one
American whose course in similar
exigenCy had furnished Judge Parker
with 81 model of conduct was none
other than William Jennings Bryan.
AT Kansas City four years ago Mr..
Mr.. Bryan confronted this situation:
The resolutions committee was sharply
divided upon the question of ignoring
the money question, and there was
prospect that its report would be si-
lent on that issue. Instead Of waiting
until after the platform had been
adopted and the nomination of himself
had been made, MI. Bryan promptly
sent word to the convention, before
any action whatever had been taken,
that he must not be considered cam
didate for the nomination in case the
money question were ignored in the
resolutions. That was straightfor-
ward and it was dealing fairly with all
wings and members Of the democratic
party.

CITIES WILL BE BURNED.

When such disastrous fires as the
and the one that laid waste the great
city of Baltimore take place the coun-
try stands aghast at tragedy SEEM
ingiy all unexpected, but an insurance
magazine has recently presented CEN
sus figures showing that similar fires
are in imminent danger OF taking place
in any one of a score of our largest
cities.
According to this insurance report
is so great as to make it n marvel that
more sweeping fires do not occur than
have occurred in the past. The insur-
ance journal points to the city of San
Francisco, which has thirteen frame
buildings to every one of brick or stone
and predicts repetition of the Chicago
fire may be expected in that city al
most any day. Even the old city of
Boston has more than two frame build

The Florida cities of Key West and

frame buildings, Elgin. H.. ten times.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. nine times, and

many.
In each of these and many more
towns "the pile is ready for the
match says the insurance Journal and

more. With the constantly increasing
