sto.ssers Sentence Shock, Iau.u.

London, (By Cable).-The correspon-
dent at Toxic of the Daily Telegram
sends the following "The report that
General Stoessel has been sentenced to
death has shocked the public sentiment
of Japan. Military opinion, from the
highest to the lowest, conscientiously be-
lieve the verdict wrong. Facts ascer-
tanned by the beseiging army at Port
Arthur would not only have acquitted
the General, but have gained him the
gratitude of his country"

New York (SpeciaD Russell Sage
died suddenly Sunday at his country
home, Cedarcroft, at Lawrence, L. /.
The immediate cause of death was heart
failure, resulting from complication of
diseases incident TO old age. The vet
eran fnancier would have celebrated
his ninetieth birthday on August 4.
At noon he was seized with sinking
spell and collapse, falling into uncon-
seriousness about two hours before his
death, which occurred at 43o o'clock.
There were present at the end Mrs.
Sage, her brother, Col. ]. ]. Slocum;
the Rev. DR.. Robert Leetch, DR.. Theo-
dore S. Janeway, of New York; DR..
J. Carl Schnuck, local physician, and
DR.. John P. Mum, for many years Mr..
Sage's family physician, who was sum-
moned from New York when the first
alarming symptoms were manifest.
The funeral services will be held at
the West Presbyterian Church, in West
Forty-second Street, of which Mr.. Sage
had been a member for many years.
The interment will take place in Troy.
Mr.. Sage was propped up in his bed
on the second floor of the house, and
he gazed out on the ocean. Calling
Mrs Sage to the room shortly after
noon, he pointed out to full-rigged
ship, with all sails set, that was disap-
pearing on the far eastern horizon. The
two talked for short while, and Mr..
Sage was in the best of humor.
He didn't realize that he was very
sick man, and the doctors had not at
tempted to impress on him the fact that
the end was near About 1890 he grew
faint and sank back on the bed. In a
twinkling he was unconscious. DR.. ].
Carl Schmuck, the local physician at
tending Mr. Sage, saw the condition of
the patient and sent hurry call to this
city for DR.. Janeway. The latter made
for Lawrence as fast as his automobile
could travel. He reached his house
sometime before Mr.. Sage expired, at
4.3o o'clock.
AS Mr.. Sage had sunk into uncon-
seriousness, there were no farewell words.
Those at the bedside say that the end
was quite peaceful.

report a most delightful trip.

Mr. Ferguson is expected home
Saturday as his school at Anderson
Chapel closes Friday.
Well let us be ready Monday to 60
to the polls and do our duty as citizens
of the great state Of Arkansas.
This, believe is the day for the
great reception Of William Jennings
Bryan. Very few men have ever held
up as Mr.. Bryan has. There is no
doubt but that he is more popular with
the people Of the United States today
than ever before. If he makes no
serious blunder for the next tW2 years
he will easily be the choice OF the
Democratic party for President, and ]
believe will be elected. What say
you ARGUS scribes1 Mr. Bryan has
many qualities that 60 to make up q
great man. He is honest, truthful
and patriotic, and it is only the bigot
who can doubt his ability as states-
man. His opportunities for the last
ten years have broadened his views
on governmental questions until there
is nothing narrow about him. His
visit abroad, should he be elected
president, will give him more strength
for his duties. His is a mind of great
strength and culture.
May he continue to grow till hs
can serve US eight years.

estimated at 772,264 600 bushels,
which is more than ever was produced
by any other country in the world.
Along with the greatest wheat crop we
have also the promise Of the greatest
corn crop on record. No less than
I'll, $4,000 bushels. Add II mil
lion bale cotton crop, an excellent to-
bacco crop and crops Of oats, barley
and rye and minor cereals ranging
from fair to fine and 1t seems evident
that the farmers Of the u. S. will have
more money to spend and the R. R..
more freight to carry, and the mer-
chants more goods to sell than ever
before. The corn crop Of this year
would load a freight train extending
two-t thirds Of the way around the
Globe; this years crop alone would pay

Oklahoma will become state with
5000 miles of railroads in operation,
and half dozen new lines building

the best Of it. 300 miles being TO her
credit, and 1900 TO the present Okla

It's estimated by railroad men that in
the next five years there will be 1000

have no question that when 1t is made
known II will be ascertained that ev-
erything has been done that could be
to so gerrymander the new state as
that a majority of delegates to the
constitutional convention may be Re-
publieans. and everything will be done
that can be to make it possible to Sc
cure a Republican constitutional con-
vention. am quite hopeful, notwith-
standing what expect will be the
gerryrnander. Oklahoma will be demo-
cratic in its constitutional convention
and safely democratic there after in
its state elections. Oklahoma is
wonderful state, no state ever admitted
to the union compares with 1t in any
respect and think it is destined to be
one OF the greatest states of the
American Union.
Constitutional prohibition for the
new sta te Of Oklahoma is almost GER
tain. The provision for prohibition
for half Of Oklahoma as enacted by
Congress in the Statehood bill, has
almost settled the question for the
whole state. Large numbers of poll
ticians and general observers believe
that the people Of the Indian Territory
will insist that the prohibition provided
for their part must be extended to COW
er the whole state. Those who favor
prohibition consider that to make 1t
effective 1t must be state wide. and
those who favor saloons seem to con-
slider that If they must submit to pro-
hibition, the rest OF the state must
undergo the same priyation, and those
who are foolish enough to in agine
that saloons are commercial advsn-
tage to the city, declare that the Okla
homa cities shall not have this advan-
tage over the cities of the Indian Ter
ritory. Now, with an honest election
and fair count we expect great VIC
tory for prohibition in the constitution
al convention for the new state May
God direct the minds OF the people OF
this new state to vote solid for pro-
hIbtion.
The Government crop for August is
certainly very encouraging for the
SOIL The wheat crop for this year is
