EDWARDs's INSURANCE.
Widow Will Claim Money on Ground
 of Murder-Companies Say Suicide.

Widow Will Claim Money on Ground of Murder-Companies Say Suicide. New Haven. Jan 2O-There is a pos sibility that the Charles A. Edwards case may be thoroughly tried out as if no cOroner's verdict had been given declaring it suicide. Mrs Edwards, thinks that it was murder and she will claim the life insurance on her hus- bands life on that basis. The com panies are quoted as saying that they will take advantage of suicide clauses. which will enable them to escape pay ing several thousand dollars. With this view in mind they have begun a search of the old Hitler homestead on College street. They were aided by Maxcy Hitler.
 A notice was sent to a newspaper yesterday by John Moran, a business man, offering a reward of $1,OOO to the one who discovered the murderer, the contention of Mir Moran being that Charles A. Edwards did not commit suicide.
 At the probate court hearing yester- day on the matter of appointment of administrator for the estate of Mrs Abigail Hitler. an agreement was reached upon the name of Albert H. Barclay. an attorney. Judge Cleave' land said that he would not make the appointment of anyone to whom an heir had an objection. Several names were suggested and objected to by one side or the other and when Mir Bar clay's was reached it was accepted bt both counsel for Charles A. Hitler and Mrs C. A. Edwards of New York or the one side and A. Maxcy Hitler, the brother. on the other. Mir Barclays bond was fixed at $J0,00O.
 John T. Sloan. and Oliver s. White were named as appraisers. It is est: mated that the estate will amount sc between $90.O00 and $10O,O00.

We have in the postal service of 'this country 2SO,OOO men and women, |almOst three times the combined forces of the army and navy says Secretary Cortelyou. Tt is just Ecomplaint, not only in the United Estates, but in every other country, |Gthat in most employments woman does 1 not receive the pay of man when she does the work of man. The United States government makes no |isuch unfair discrimination. We may say the salaries are not altogether what they ought to be, that larger re-
 muneratiOn is deserved ill many
 places, but whatever the sum paid. it is the same to man or woman. We sometimes forget this equality and do
 rot properly estimate it's significance, for in the end the governments stand ards of private business and the day
 must come when justice will establish more uniform compensation. Mean. while it is qualification that the gov

 One of the newest fads of the medi- cal world is the sleep cure. According to the physician who has sought to in- troduce his ideas among the Parisians, one sleeps entirely too little. It is sis argument that one lives certain length of time and that this time Sickness not considered) is extended over long or short period according to the temperament of the person. He cites in support of his theory the long evity of the negroes and declares that they attain ripe old age simply be- cause they sleep when work is not ab- solutely essential. His treatment con- sists of sending his patient to bed and making him sleeo. Eight hours q day one may leave his bed and mingle with the world as he please. but not only must the other, sixteen ,be, spent, in bed. but the patient must actually be asleep. On his discharge the pa tient is warned that if he would live his allotted time he must husband his waking hours ny spending as much time in sleep as possible. The physi- elan declares that with child prop erly trained to sleep twelve or fourteen hours out of the twenty-fOur. the at tainment of the hundredth year would be matter of course and not an 0c- currence of rarity.

STAMPS DON'T STICK,
PostOffice Department Has Received
 Many Complaints.

POstOffice Department Has ReceiveN
 Many Complaints.
 The postoffice authorities at Wash ington have recently received so many complaints concerning the quality of gum on the stamps issued. that mo- tices have been sent to the various postoffices. requesting that the last batch of stamps received be laid aside until summer. The complaints arose over the fact that the stamps were brittle and showed tendency to break and curl up. People found diff ficulty in keeping them on envelopes. The explanation of the trouble Is that the government uses different gum in the summer and winter months. If the same gum were used throughout the year. in the winter 1t would not stick and in the summer the stamps would become welded together. These same stamps which are so much abused at present will be used again within six months.

 Essex. Jan. 20-The son of Charles Davidson and a son of Robert Norris both of IvorytOn, were drowned in the Falls river stream in Ivoryton yester- day afternoon. The boys were on their way to school and were tempted to try the ice on the stream and see if it was safe. They were seen going on to the ice and that was the last seen of them.
 When they did not arrive at school the teacher sent boy to make inquiry and he found a man who saw the boys going on to the ice. An alarm was given and hole was found where the boys had broken through the thin ice.
 The whole afternoon was spent in dragging the river and about o'clock the bodies were recovered. The boys wRre each about 10 years old.

"The beauty of the White Steamer

A WORMY PEACH CROP.
Disappointment Expressed by Many
Fruit Growers.
Al

Special TO the World.
Enid, Okla, August 6.-As the To-
cal crop of peaches ripens there is
being expressed a great deal of dis
appointment about the quality. Never
did finer looking fruit hang from the
trees of a tropical country, than is
presented to the view by the peach
trees this season. The size is good,
too, better than usual. But when one
examines those which look ripe, and
which feel mellow, he almost invari-
ably finds that the fruit is prema-
turely softened by the presence of
worm which has worked its way
to the center Of the peach. So skill
fully has the destroyer done his work
that a casual observation of the peach
will not reveal his presence. But all
around the pit will be found the re-
suit of his operations.
Thousands of bushels Of the nest
looking peaches ever seen have been
destroyed this year in this amnner.
The worm seems to have done much
more effective work on the late crop
than on the early. While owing to
the almost superabundance of the
yield, there will be plenty Of good
fruit even after so much is found
worthless, yet it is a great disap-
pointment to many who thought
from appearances that the crop was
in the finest possible condition.
Spraying the trees would probably
have avoided the damage, but it has
not been found necessary heretofore
to do much spraying in Oklahoma,
SO that feature was neglected. II is
likely that as the fruit industries
of the country develop, as they have
been ra,idly doing, those who have
orchards will take care TO avoid such
disasters to their crops as have oc-
Cured. Oklahoma is certain to be-
come one Of the largest fruit produc-
ing regions in the nation and there
is a fair probability that she will
surpass them all in the quality and
quantity of the product. Interest in
the preservation Of the crop, is there
fore sure to be found on the increase
with each passing crop.

THEY FAVOR REPUBLICANIsM.
Indian Territory Negroes Expected to
Vote With That Party.

Special to the World.
Muskogee, Okla, August 6.--From
all appearances the Indian Territory
negro will vote the republican ticket
in the first election Of the new state :.
The fact that the negro vote will
60 almost Solid for the republicans
is explained by the controversy the
democrats have stirred up over the
negro, in which the republicans took
no part.
The negroes are perfecting organ
izations of their own all over the In
dian Territory, and are preparing for
an active campaign. The negro vote
in Indian Territory will be a large
one, as many have moved over the Ok
lahoma line within the past few years.

NOW LAYING PIPES.
Natural Gas to b Supplied In Many
Sections Of the New State.

Sections Of the New State.
Muskogee, Aug. 6.-The Caney Riv-
er Gas company has paid the damages
on the right-of-way for their pipe
line from Ramona to Muskogee, a dis
tance of seventy-three miles, got its
paper all approved and is now actual
ly engaged in the work of laying pipe
from the gas fields to this place,
where it has a franchise which ex-
pires the first of October, if it is not
furnishing natural gas, and also
means that failure will cause the for
feiture of $1,000 bond which the
company has up.
The pipe line will consist of an
eight-inch pipe. A gas pipe line in
Indian Territory has to be laid so
deep under the ground that il will not
interfere in any way with the regular
agricultural operations nor be in the
way Of the property owners through
whose land it passes. When a pipe
line company pays for a right of way
it does not purchase the land out
right. 1t merely pays for whatever
damage it does the property, and &C.
quires a right to lay a pip. in lac
ground.
1t is usually considered that pipe
line company is entitled to the use of
a rod of ground if it is needed in put
ting the pipe or repairing it. To lay
a pipe line in Indian Territory it has
to first get the permission of the Sec
retarv of the interior MS well as to
nay for all other privileges. This is
the reason that all pipe line develop
ments that would have supplied many
towns with natural gas have been
minimized. and the towns forced to
do without gas.

There are times in the history of
every growing town when people be-
come over-con6dent Of their position
on account Of what has already been
accomplished. And we fear that a
good MANY property owners and bus
mess men in Tulsa have allowed them
selves to arrive at the conclusion that
we are so large and have so many ad-
ventaees over our rival towns. viz, !:
Claremore. Sapu1ba and Musk0gee,
that ANYTHING thew rnn do will not
effect the future Of Tulsa. Our advice

Gov. Plaisted was at a loss to know
who should go ahead in the procession.
he, the outgoing governor, or Robe, the
incoming one, so he turned to Mr.. Bark

once replied: why, doesn't the corpse
