be the. best informed OF all classes of
American citizens. This is not
because they read more than Others.
but because their reading matter is

less %distracting and more favorable to

digested and more firmly retained.

WHY SHE is CALLED MISS.

A teacher in one Of the Indian
schools relates the following Incl
dent of an Indian boys quick
thought. He had asked the mean
Ing Of the word "miss."
"To miss" I told him, "is the
same as to fail. You shoot at a bird
or d a mark, and do not hit it-you
mis- it. You go to a tailor for a
coat and your coat fits badly-it is
. misft. You hope to enter the mid
lie class next year, but you cannot
pass the examinations, and so you
miss the promotion"
His face wore a puzzled air, and
he shook his head.
eThen," said I, "there is another
meaning of miss We called a
married woman madam but an un-
married woman miss
His face frightened. Then he
yniled and nodded:
Nah, l see!" said he. "She miss

River Notes.

a movement has been started with a
view of arousing the people of the
entire Missouri Valley and the entire
territory west Of the river to which
freight rates would be affected by Il e
restoration Of navigation on the Mis-
souri,, in an effort to secure from con-
gress appropriations to provide for a
six foot channel in the river from its
mouth to Sioux City, Iowa.
The Missousi river is today practic.
ally navigable for boats OF a certain
class, and the business men of Kansas
CITY are o forming a company for
the purpose Of establishing a line to
operate on the river between there and
St. Louis. There are, however, many
improvements required to make the
tream wholly satisfactory and safe for

meat.
1t is admitted on all hands that the
question Of transportation is one Of
first Importance among economic ques.
ton under discussion today. In our
own country the rapid development OF
railway transportation seems to have
blinded our people to the value OF
utilizing our rivers. The productive
energy OF the West, and particularly
OF u own section is outstripping the
carrying capacity of our railroads as
evidenced almost annually by car .am.
ines and freight congestion.
Another evidence of this fact lies IN
the attitude it seems to have engend.
cred among the traffic officials of The
railroads towards the demands of the
different communities for reductions
and equitable adjustments. The roads
are building up tremendous reserve
funds as well as declaring large
dividends to stockholders, but are
unwilling to afford any relief to the
interests which are suffering from
extortionate freight charges.

THREE MEN KILLED BY TWO
BULLETS NEAR MUSKOGEE.
Sensation Shotgun and Rifle Duel on
Streets Of Little Territorial Town
Two White Men and an IN
known Negro Slain.

Muskogce, |. r., Nov. l9.-At noon
today Deputy Marshal Ledbetter came
in from Taft whit Ira Campbell, who
last night slew George Sullivan, Mar.
ion Warren and an unknown negro at
the town Of Taft Campbell pleads
salf-defense, but was paced in Jail and
refused bond. The fight occurred In
front of the pOstofiice at Taft and Is
replete with old time territorial bra
yadO. The fight arose over the rela-
ti0ns of Charles Campbell, a nephew
daughter of George Sullivan and a sis
ter-n-law Of Warren. It was thought
here yesterday when young Campbell
and Pearl Sullivan were married in
the court house the family feud was
settled, but subsequent events in rap
id succession made a most tragic
wedding sequel When Sullivan and
Warren reached TAFT and got off the
train, Sullivan went into the postoiiice
and encountered Campbell. without
warning he struck Campbell over the
head with siXshootcr, cutting his
head badly Campbell rushed out OF
tie postofice and Warren rushed into
the bank and secured a double barrel
shotgun. Campbell secured a Win
chester and came down the street
Sullivan stepped out OF the bank and
commenced firing. Campbell stopped
in the midst of the shots, threw down
his Winchester with deadly aim and
dropped both Sullivan and Warren at
two shots, one of the bullets going
through one of the men and killing
the negro
Pleasant Campbell, brother OF Ira,
was also there but took no part in the
shooting. Sullivan had fired one bar
rel of the shotgun at Campbell at 20
PAGES and missed him and had the gun
leveled to shoot again when Campbell
killed him. He then got into his wag-
on with his daughters and drove to
his home in the country leaving word
for the officers to come and get him
when they arrived at Taft. 1t was
there Ledbetter found him. Pearl Sui.
