c. J. Tyler Dead.

c. ]. Tyler, aged A, died at the City
Hospital this morning, of typhoid
fever. He had been sick about two
weeks and for the past few days
there was little hope of his recovery.
He was a painter, and came here
from Stanton, Va, about three years
ago. Since coming here he has made
q large number of friends who will
be sorry to learn of his death. A
wife and two children survive him.
The remains were taken to the Jones
undertaking parlors and will be ship
ped to Stanton tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Tyler was an excellent Chris
tian gentleman. No one knew him
but to like him. He was faithful
and consistent member of the First
Baptist Church, of this city, having
brought his letter when he came to
live here He will be greatly missed
and the sympathy of all who knew
him will go out to his wife and chill
dren. We can i'll afford to lose such
an upright and industrious citizen as
was c. J. Tyler.

PEACE
ASSURED
TO MANY THOUSANDS OF WORK.
MEN BY AN AGREEM
REACHED LAST NIGHT.

PITTSBURG. July Within a few
minutes of Il o'clock last midnight,
at which time. all wage scales Of the
Amalgamated Association OF Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers expired, the
Association wage scale committee
reached an agreement or the sheet
scale with the American Sheet and
Tin Plate Company.
The workers accept an IS per cent.
reduction in wages. For days they
have argued against this and up until
few minutes before agreement last
night opposed it and the continuation
of The three per cent. rebate plan.
The latter was not settled. and will
be cared for at a meeting TO he held
in the latter part Of July.
Amalgamated men. it has been ru-
mored for several days, would be
agreeable to accepting the IS per
cent decrease, but We're opposed TO the
rebate. The rebate is 5 per cent. of
the wages of the employees which is
turned back to the company on all
foreign orders.
The agreement assures peace for
about $1,000 sheet mill workers, about
half OF whom are members of the
Amalgamated Association.
1t assures peace, also, for about So
900 more of the same craft. who are
factories.

OIL WANTS HELP
TO.GATHER COTTON CROP
THIRTY PER CENT. IN
CREASED ACREAGE.

GUTHRIE, Okla. June 30.-Ac-
cording to Joseph B. Thoburn. sec
rotary of the Oklahoma board of ag-
riculture, the cotton crop this year in
the territory Will be the greatest
ever harvested IN Oklahoma. Mr..
Thoburn says:
The cotton acreage of Oklahoma
is estimated at 80 per cent. greater
this year than it was last. The
United States department of agricul-
ture rated the condition of Oklaho-
ma cotton above that of every other
cotton-growing State several weeks
ago. Many ginneries are being erect
ed. Already there is strong demand
for field help in several localities.
The amount of field help that is need
ed in choDDing out, however, is small
in comparison to what will be need
ed when picking time arrives. Last
year there We're some places in the
territory where the cotton was not
gathered as promptly as it should
have been on account of scarcity of
field help and the resultant loss was
considerable. This year. with a much
least a normal yield, the demand for
help at picking time will be much
heavier Oklahoma probably has
enough idle people to supply this eX-
ira demand in handling the cotton
crop if they could be induced to
work. Modern commercial and in
dustrial activity can surmount al
most any obstacle, but they can not
make over the nature of the drone,
hence there must be the importation
Of some labor from neighboring
States and communities where there
is less demand for it. The discussion
of this subject is already agitating
the minds of the people in several
cotton-growinS counties of Ol1laho-
ma. Whether this imported labor
shall consist Of whites or negroes or
Mexicans seems to be the main ques-
tin.
In this connection, it is perhaps
well to call attention to the fact that
the rapid spread of the boil weevil in
Texas is credited quite largely to the
annual pilgrimages of cotton pickers
from districts that are infested with
that troublesome pest to those which
were not. While it is possible that
the boil weevil will reach Oklahoma
in the course of time, the cotton
growers of this territory should de-
lay it's progress in this direction as
much as possible, and to this end
they should hesitate a long time be-
fore, inviting their introductions by
the coming of itinerant cotton pick
ers from any region, which is infect
ed.

Mrs. Walker AGAIN.

The case of Mrs. Sarah Walker,
who is in the county Jail on a lunacy
charge, is still talked OF on the
streets The people say that some
thing ought, to be done. But before
anything can be started some friend
of the woman will have TO get out
the necessary papers. Then she can
be examined by the physician hired
by the county for such purpose and
his decision will settle il. All that
is necessary now is for some one to
take up her case and see that she is
provided for in case she is set free,
and the proceedings will begin.
