WILL CALL ON
THE PRESIDENT
COMMERCIAL CLUB ASKS THAT
WHEAT BE DESTROYED.
THE TULSA SENSATION
In Telegram Ask That the Grain Be
Not Allowed to Be Made
Into Flour.

Special to the World.
Francis, Okla, July 1S.-The ear
of wheat in which the dead body of
Harry Priester, of Tulsa, was found
has been closely watched by the citi-
zens and the Commercial club of this
place. Up to Saturday no attempt
was made by the railroad company
TO ship the wheat to its destination.
The claim agent received instructions
to dispose of the damaged wheat for
seed wheat, and forward the remain
dr. of the load to its destination.
On Saturday morning, it was noted
that the wheat was being transferred
TO another ear and the Commercial
club began to take steps to prevent
its going forward and being unloaded
upon the public, who knew nothing
about the tragedy in the ear.
When the corpse was found, 1t was
discovered that the blood had perco-
lated through the wheat and leaked
out of the bottom of the car on the
trucks and gearing and the wheat,
when examined, showed considerable
damage from the blood and decayed
body of the child.
The Commercial club having no
way of taking hold Of the matter,
sent the following telegram to Pre-
sident Roosevelt:
Francis, Okla, July 17,-Theodore
Roosevelt. President of the United
States, Washington, d. c.; We, the
Commercial Club of Francis, Okla,
expressing the wish of the citizens
generally, beg and pray that you will
condemn and order destroyed GER
tain ear of wheat now in this yard
and being transferred to ear for
shipping to destination. Said ear was
discovered to contain a dead human
body in state of decomposition, and
drippings from same had saturated a
great portion of the wheat. Without
your aid the wheat will be made into
-four. Letter with full details will fol-
low. ,,Respectfully, ,
COMMERCIAL CLUB,
Francis, Okla.

The Hjuhest BRIDGE.

Work is now in progress on sus-
pension bridge over the famous Roy
al gorge" of the Arkansas river, in
Colorado, at point where the chan
mel is only so feet wide at the bottom
and 230 feet wide at the top. This
bridge will span the river 267 feet
above the surface of the water, and
will be, therefore, by far the highest
bridge in the world. The material
will be of fiat steel and steel cables,
the curved Orders finding secure at
tachment in the solid sides of the can
yon. The floor of the bridge will be
of plate glass one and one-half inches
thick, to afford visitors the pleasure
of looking down the chasm. On each
side will be strong, high steel rail-
ings. The bridge is part OF an cleo
trio railway scheme.

The Evils of Constipation.

are many; in fact almost every Sc
rious illness has its origin in consti-
patton, and some medicines, instead OF
preventing constipation, add to 1t.
This is true of most cathartics, which,
when first used, have a beneficial ef-
feet. but the dose has to be contin-
ually increased, and before long the
remedy ceases to have the slightest
effect There is one preparation, how
ever, that can be relied upon to pro-
duce the same results with the same
dose, even after fifty years daily
use, and this is Brandreth's Pills,
which has a record of over 100 years
as the standard remedy for constipa-
ton and all troubles arising from an
impure gtate of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used, and are for sale everywhere,
either plain or sugar-coated.

SQUIRRELS as Walters.

Il has taken Fisk Goodyear OF
Burchtown, Pa, two years to train
his pet squirrels, but his efforts are
now repaid, and on Thanksgiving he
treated his friends to a surprise.
Gathering half a hundred or more
gray squirrels, Mr.. Goodyear taught
them to go into the woods and pick
UP nuts, carrying them to his home
On Thanksgiving night at dinner
his guests noticed small board run
ming from q window to nut bowl.
The host gave one knock on the table
with his knife. A squirrel hoped
down the plank and dropped a chest
nut into the bowl. Two raps brought
a squirrel with walnut, three knocks
a shellbark
Finally, a grave old squirrel took
his place and cracked the nuts, wind
ing up the performance by brushing
off the crumbs with his thick bushy
tail

The Sunny South.

Now when all outdoor farm work
has ceased in the north, the term
sunny south" and eli that it means,
appeals with full force to the northern
farmer as he realizes that with him
it is a case of remaining indoors for
the next several months consuming
everything that has been produced
during the growing season. In the
sunny south" something can be
raised every month in the year, and
practically every day can be spent out
doors. No billiards.. No sunstrokes
Cattle-raising is very profitable. Large
profits are made with little labor in
growing fruits, vegetables, etc., fol-
northern markets. Strawberries ant
cantaloupes are great revenue getters
Water unsurpassed. Work plentiful
Lands cheap and productive. For re

TRAFFIC IN HUMAN FLESH.
German Hospital Officials Accused OF
Serious Offenses.

A sensational case has been occu-
plying the Hamburg law courts. Re-
Gently the head of workingmen's as
ISOLATION, Herr Schonberg, publicly
accused the Hamburg hospital OF car
rying on large traffic in corpses He
declared that closed collins were de-
livered to relatives Of the deceased
containing only ashes and rubbish or
q wooden image. In several cases the
body had been placed in the coffin In
the presence of the relatives, and ex-
tracted after their departure. The
leg of a man who had suffered from
peculiar disease was cut off and re-
placed by that of dead woman. In
this state the body was exhibited TO
the relatives. A former employe or
the hospital, whose trial for selling
bodies was the occasion of these dis
closures, declared that he had seen
the arms of dead man amputated
and replaced by girls arms in order
that the mans relatives should sus'
pect nothing. 1t was also proved that
warders had cut off and sold heads
and other parts of corpses for their
own profit and without the knowledge
of the doctors. In two cases at least
collins were buried containing only
parts of the body.

BROKE THE WILDCATS BACK.
Philadelphia Man Victorious In Hand
to-Hand Combat.

Unarmed and alone, Thomas Dyke
was attacked by wildcat on Locust
mountain, south of Mount Carmel, Pa.
He had been in Ashland and started
to drive home. His horse stepped on
a nail and he put the animal in sta
BILE.
Then he started to walk home and
was on the mountain when the cries
of a wildcat alarmed him. A few
minutes later he saw the beast ten
feet In front of him. The animal
finally sprang. He jumped aside and
as the body of the cat struck the road
he leaped upon it. For several min
utes the fight between the wild ami
NAL and the man went on. At length
by quick swing he broke the ami
mails back.
A physician dressed the several
deep scratches on his face and hands,
but otherwise he was uninjured.

ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Returns for the
Year 1906.

The manner in which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers in recent
years has caused many of our journals
and public men to "sit up and take no
tice," to use a current phrase. From
every European country and from al
most every State in the Union large
number of settlers have flocked TO the
prairie provinces Of Canada, where
free homesteads and wide opportun-
tiles are open to all who desire to
avail themselves OF them.
The greatest factor in attracting
settlers lies in the inherent richness
of soil and suitability of climate for
producing what is universally consid-
cred to be the finest wheat in the
world-the mo. 1 Hard" OF Canadian
growth-and other cereals that rank
in the very first class. This year the
harvest returns were: Wheat, 30
O00, 900 bushels; oats, 100000 BUSH
els; barley, 100000 bushels; and
when it is considered that the entire
population of the three provinces-as
evidenced by the quinquennial census
lust completed-is only $4,000, IL Is
easily seen that the lure of the Cana
dian West is in its agricultural poten-
tialities.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction IS
proceeding with such rapidity that al
most every district is within easy
reach of outside markets, and that
good prices for all lines OF farm prod
ucts rule practically from the COM
mencement of agricultural operations.
This is a factor which did not prevail
when the earlier settlements In the
West were made in Canada and In the
United States, and has given great
impetus to Canadian Western settle
ment in recent years.
The free grant system OF home
steads which prevails in the prairie
provinces, by which every settler VINO
is able and willing to comply with the
conditions of actual settlement (by nc
means onerous) is given 16O acres
free. except $40 for entry, is a great
drawing card, and in the last fisca
year gathered in over $4,000 add
tiopal to the western population. o.
which 57,796 were from the United
States.
The further fact, as is strongl!
7 brought about by the agent OF thu
, Canadian Government, whose address
appears elsewhere, that splendid
common school system, PRACTICAL,
free, prevails throughout the entir
country, and is easy of access in evel
the most remote districts, is anothe
great inducement to the settler VIII
: has the future welfare Of his famil
: in mind, and this, coupled with tn
fact that western Canadian law an
order are proverbial, completes
1 circle of good and sufficient reason
why the tide of immigration has sc
Z in so steadily toward the country
y the north OF our boundary line.

The stockbroker stayed about an

quantity OF talk and tobacco smoke,
that Guinevere had eventually van

The stockbroker developed an eXtraor-
binary enthusiasm for the artist dur
ing the next few months. But as
often as he called at the studio, so
often did he have something to say
about the sketch on the wall. At last
the artist, little bit piqued, offered
him the thing. Take it away with
