the influence OF the Standard

A MILLIONAIRE NEGKESS,

Perhaps there is no more remarkable
turn OF the wheel of fortu, IN record
than that which has poured millions
into the lap Of a-half-grown negress in
the new State CT Oklahoma. This girl
Isabel Lewis, is the daughter of an ex-
slave whose former master was an In.
dian of Indian Territory. On a lot OF
eighty acres that came to her by inner.
itance three oil wells haye been devel.
oped, each of which is producing ,OOC
barrels of oil per day, and each of which
is capable of having its daily capacity
doubled. Already her annual income
is reckoned at $237 600, and at ) PEI
cent that amount would be the interest
on a capital of nearly So 900 900.

WANTS A SLICE.

Under the new law allowing towns
which are located in two or more coun-
ties TO vote themselves into either
county. Roswell will make an effort to
come into Milton county. The Free
Press sincerely trusts that our neigh
bors in the good old town will see their
way clear to vote to come into Milton.
We believe it will benefit both Milton
county and Roswell. We shall have
more to say on this subject lateral
pharetta Free Press.
How much of the corporate limits OF
Roswell is located in Milton county? 1t
seems to Us that Roswell has nothing
to gain to sever connection with Cobb
county. Better preserve the old land
marks. The records of deeds in Cobb

traced now than if changed to Alpha

OBSERVE THE COMMAND.

Every man owes his business OF
profession his physical and mental
strength. He owes all his time and
talent that are not required for phys
ical and mental health and growth.
Why one man succeeds in one profess
sion, while some one else fails, may be
caused by one man giving his whole
mind, soul and body to his business,
while the other drops his opportunity
into the river fishing, or shoots it into
thin air, or neglects it over the gaming
table. six days shalt thoS labor" is
the eternal command, and if man ex-
poets to fulfill his greatest usefulness,
he must observe the command.

OFFICE HOLDING.

The office holding habit-when once
firmly established-is constant source
of unhappiness in after life. The young
man who makes Office holding and of.
hce hunting a profession rarely accu.
mulates for old age. Offices-after
all the campaign expenses are deduct.
ed-seldom pays enough to leave a
margin of profit for investment. The
most unhappy men are those who have
no taste for private business pursuits
and must perforce, depend upon office
holding to provide the necessities of
life. There Is great deal of happiness
and usually much more money to be
had out of office than in.

he DIDN'T STARVE.
Directors of Provident Association
Investigate Condit Case.

At recent meeting of the directors
of the Topeka Provident associa ton
the board took occasion to carefully
investigate and review the direction
the association as conducted by the
present general secretary and assistant
and expressed the fullest approval of
what they had done, and appreciation
of the wise, systematic relief which,
through them, has been given to the
worthy ones in the city who have been
in need.
Special attention was given to the
case of the recent death of F'rand Con-
dit whom Coroner Keith reported to
have died from starvation, while the
autopsy itself showed that death was
caused from hemorrhage of the brain
or apoplexy. Careful inquiry was made
and abundant facts disclosed to prove
that starvation could ont have con
tributed in any way to the cause of
his death. Three different grocers,
Gathers, Burgess and ewland. doing
business in the city, with whom Condit
traded, made affidavit that within three
weeks of his death he had purchased
from them groceries and provisions
for which he paid cash, of the value
of not less than SIS. In addition to
that, Mrs Wiley, who kept house for
COndit, makes affidavit that there were
provisions in the house at the time of
his death, refuting entirely the idea of
serious want.
This and other matters were looked in
to. the more carefully. because friends
of the association wished to know what,
if any, ground there was for the spread
of the story that a man had died OF
starvation on the streets of our city. The
board deem it unfortunate that any
physician holding the office of coroner
should fail to make distinction between
two such diseases as apoplexy and star
walton and give publicity to statements
so misleading and hurtful as those given
in the Condit case. The evidence re
garding this case is on file at the asso-
citation office, open to public inspection.
In justice to the Provident Association
and also to DR.. and Mrs. VanHorn,
who are doing a most excellent and
praiseworthy work in the city, and in
defense against inexcusable @ttack, the
board makes this statement to the pub
lie.

Mrs. Edwin ID. McKeeYer Expires
at Kansas City.

day for TumOr.
UNEXPECTED RELAPSE.
Was Thought to Be on Way to
Recovery.
She Had Lived in Shawnee
County Since a Child.

MRS Edwin d. McKeever, wife of E.
D. McKeever who until recently was
assistant United States attorney for
Kansas, died at the Sisters hospital in
Kansas City, Mo, on Wednesday night,
following an operation for a tumor.
Mrs McKeever had been in poor
health for several years, but of late
seemed to be much improved Hoping
for permanent relief from her suffer
ings she determined to submit to an
operation. and on last Saturday went
to Kansas City and there placed her
self in the Sisters hospital under the
care of DR.. J. w. Perkins
On Monday the operation was per-
formed. Though it was of a serious
nature. Mrs. McKeever rallied and
seemed on a fair road to a rapid re-
covery. This condition obtained until
on Wednesday afternoon when she
suffered q relapse and apIdlY began
to decline. BY nightfaI all hope had
practically been abandoned. She died
at 1870 o'clock Her husband, E. D.
Mckeever, her son, Archibald, and
her niece, Florence Martin, were at
her bedside.
Mrs. MeKeever's maiden name was
Luetta Moller. She was born in La
porte, Ind. in 1869, making her pres
ent age 81 years. AS a child she came

After receiving her education. she
began teaching in the Shawnee county

Twelve years ago she was married
to Edwin D. McKeever- One son was
born to them. Archibald, who is eight
years old. and survives her with his
father For the past two years the

have done so months ago. as she had
abundant provocation before the Don
