PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 9.-The
COncatenated Order of HoO-HoOs
has taken the town by storm and
now owns it, or at least a big por-
ton of it, The concatenated mem
bers are a jolly set and their pres

in every quarter. Some of the Hoo
Hoos have Travelled three or four
thousand miles to attend their an
nual convention, but the hardships
of their trips did not have any ap-
preciable effect upon their ability
to enjoy the goods things of life.
According to the custom of that
queer order the annual convention
was called to order at 9 o'clock this

Okmulgee's growth is a marvel.
Five years ago the business district

town. Now there is a well built
city of nearly 1000 people. Business
houses are of brick and stone, OF
attractive design and having well

water works, electric light and a

Of the Office of mayor and the of

The jury believe that the police

cause it is the policy of the admin

COUNT OF FLANDERS
CALLED BY DEATH
Was Brother of King Leopold and
Heir TO the Belgian Throne
Trouble Expected.

Brussels, Nov. 1S.-The count of
Flanders, brother of King Leopold and
heir to the throne, is dead from in
da1nmation of the respiratory organs.
The count was born in 1887. The new
heir to the throne of Belgium is Prince
Albert Of Flanders. only son of the
late count Of Flanders. Prince Albert
was born April s, 1875, and was
welded Oct. 2, 1900, to Princess Eliza,
beth of Bavaria.
1t is possible that the Belgian soci-
alists will cause trouble when it is pro
posed to transfer to Prince Albert the
present annual grant of $4,000 paid to
the count Of Flanders as heir APP
parent. When the late count proposed
some time ago to renounce his success
sion in favor of Prince Albert the
socialists, who have always denounced
the count for accepting this grant in
view Of the fact that he was enormous
ly rich, announced their intention Of
opposing in the strongest manner pos
sible the transfer of the grant.
