the insurgent leaders. 1t is a strug-
gle of the "outs" against the Sins"
and both sides would cheerfully well
come the intervention of the Unit
ed States. That is what will come
to pass in the end and we might as
well make up our minds to this
self evident proposition. Patriotism is
not cutting much figure in Cuba and
never will be. Already species of
conscription is being discussed where
by all the available male citizens
between sixteen and thirty-fve years
of age are to be pressed into the
service of the government. There has
been woeful lack Of volunteers and
conscription will be resorted to in
a vain effort to bolster up the totter-
ing Cuban republic. Our government
is in possession of this information
derived from authentic sources and
is fully alive to the necessities OF
the situation and preparing for the
emergency which is ae!certain to
arise as the sun.
"That there is no hope by Presi-
dent Palma for a speedy termination
of the insurrection is shown by the
demands that are being made upon

the United States for hospital, sur
gical and other indispensable supplies
for caring for disabled, sick and in
jured men. Hardly day passes
that some branch of the government
here is not called upon for urgent
information as to firms and places
where these supplies can be obtain
ed, and the representatives Of Cuba
in this country are kept on the move
day and night to comply with the re-
quests cabled them by their govern
ment. Minister Quesada, who is in
attendance upon the conference at
Rio, is expected to return before the
first of November, and meanwhile
the affairs of the legation and being
looked after by his subordinates.
They are inclined to look with an OPP
timistic view upon the situation, and
point to the absence of the minister
at this time as a proof that nothing
serious is anticipated as an outcome
of the insurrection. As a matter of
fact. however. when Minister Ques-
ada left the United States there was
apparently no signs of danger on the
Cuban horizon, otherwise he would
have remained in Washington.
"Army officers of the United
States who have seen service in
Cuba, and naval officers who have
performed naval duties in the West
Indies and Latin-American countries
were not ignorant of what has been
transpiring ever since Cuba was
given its independence, and both of
the branches of the service have fire.

Perry, Okla, August 3l.-Residents
of Perry and vicinity in 1899 will re-
member the Trumbly pond murder, the
body of a young man being found
floating on the pond in October of that
year. The head of the deceased was
badly mutilated and upon dragging
the pond an axe was found with which
evidently the crime had been commit
ted. The dead man was mistaken as
being one Walter Davis, and Ben
Patch, one-eyed fellow who had been
working with Davis was arrested for
the murder and after a lengthy in
vestigation and preliminary hearing
was discharged. Davis afterwards
turned up alive and well. The dead
man was minus one finger, which was
the chief mark in following his iden-
tity. The year passed away and Sher-
i'll Foster had given up the case, when
a telephone girl in the southeast part
of the territory began investigating
the location of her brother who had
not been heard from for over a year.
She heard of the body found in the
pond and communicated with her mo-
ther. Mrs. Israel, who lived in Lincoln
county. The mother came to Perry
and identified some of the wearing ap-
parel which had been worn by the de-
ceased.
She also identified the axe rs be-
longing to her son and noted certain
paint spots on the axe from the paint
used on the house at home short
time before the son, Mold Israel. had
left home. Foster tried to locate the
parties last heard of with Israel but
without success. So the story ended
for the time.
Along in 1900 another dastardIy
murder was committed and the BODY
OF young man found in a hay stack
over in Garfield county Bob Martin
was arrested for this crime and upcn

PROHIBITION FOR THE NEW STATE.

IT is manfesy unfair that the state of Okla
homa should be half prohibition and half local option.
The imaginary line will be an issue which will be con
linual source Of trouble and discomfort. We might as
well prohibit the sale Of any article of manufacture in
Oklahoma and make the saabe in Indian Territory
Under the present status Of affairs Oklahoma will have
thousands of dollars worth of taxable property which
Indian Territory cannot have and levy taxation. The
people of the Indian Territory will submit to such
an unfair law.
Under the enabling act, Indian Territory is given
prohibition for twentyone years. There is no alterna
tive Prohibition must prevail, The proposition for Ok
ahoma to remain with local option is matter unfair
The ultimate result must be prohibition for the entire
state.

may be called the fatal hole on ac-
count Of the large number Of acci--

about the danger Of allow

the history of mining. The miners OF

of the fact that so many women hagve

Cheap Roofinu Paint.

The cheapest roofing paint is red
iron oxide, with boiled linseed oil for
the hrst coat, finished with a second
coat OF raw oil. This is a dark brown
color and the most durable of all
Kinds OF paint. as the oil and the iron
oxide make a chemical combination
which Is absorbed by the wood or
uhites with metal roof. The ouanti.
" needed Is based on the fact that
enc gallon of the thin first coat will
cover 400 square feet and the second
heavier coat will require a gallon for
zoo square feet. II the roof is of
shingles, 1t is desirable to paint these
on both sides before they are laid ON
the roof They will last twice as Iopg
as II painted only on one side after
the roof is laid, A quick wav of
painting the shingles Is to din Them IN
the mixed paint, setting them in n
trough to drain, thus saving the az.

New Features Of Value in Plan Of

The plan for poultry house given
herewith is intended TO be about 30
feet long and 13 feet wide, though
these dimensions may be reduced con-
siderably. feature worth noting
is the arrangement Of the nests which
are entirely covered and access to
them is through a covered passage
way that opens at one end through
which the hens go to get TO their
nests. This renders them very much
secluded The board that covers the
nests is held in place with hinges.
BY raising this board all the nests
are opened TO view, making 1t very
convenient for taking out the eggs.
This device renders the nesting place
dark and the entrance that leads TO
these nests being at one end of The
Dassageway prevents the hens from
getting into the nests except when
they wish to lay. On the north side
OF this room are three roosting poles
that are made Of 2x2s with the cor
