The President is going to Norfolk to
deliver the Memorial Day address. 1t
is stated that ne will speak on the sub
iect. THE Man with the Muck Rake"
Presumably the address will be of n
political nature. The President made
an address at Arlington on Memorial
Day three years ago, and his speech
was considerably more of a political
one than has usually been delivered on
such an ncca sion.

Senator Alger. who has got out of
life about all the honor and glory that
one man should want, has decided that
one term as a United States Senator is
all that he wants. Well, maybe not
exactly all that he wants, but at any
rate he feels that to accept six years
more would be to shorten his life by
hard work and anxiety, and, like the
sensible man that he is, he prefers to
spend his later years in quiet and ease
with his family, and they are eminently
pleased that he shall do SO. Senator
Alger has been in public life so long

grily:
you are an impertinent fellow, and

You have no right to use such Ian

you a lesson for insulting me in this

witness to three days Imprisonment

Pardon me-" said the incorrigible
witness, "but, if you know anything
of law, you must know that you can
not sentence me unless you obtain the
consent of the other judges"
This was true, and the judge hur-

Arch Query Dead.

The entire city was saddened on learn
ing of the death of Hon. A. r. Query, who
passed away on Monday morning at his
home, after a lingering illness from
the dread disease tuberculosis of the
glandular system. The family and i'm
trsdiate relatives had all been summoned
hnd were at his bedside. He passed
hway quietly, peacefully to the Great Be-
gond. The gentle Angel of Death touch
ed him and he slept.
Archibald Robert Query was the Oldest
child Of William and Sarah Query, and
was born in Lawrence county, Missouri,
May 31st, 1867. In his boyhood days he
Sfrolicked over the green fields of his old
Missouri homestead and CLEANED the rudi-
ments Of his later splendid education
from the country school. From the coun-
|try school he went to the Pierce City,
missouri, Baptist college and two years
later completed course from the Fort
bSmith Commercial and Business college.
But ambition stirred him and he was not
content until he secured training from
the highest educational institutions, and
Ibis plans bore fruition when he matricu-
Hated in Kansas University. Here he
won the reputation Of hard student and
brilliant scholar, being highly esteemed
Shy his classmates.
In 1894 he graduated with honors from
the Kansas University Law school and
'began in earnest his life work.
The young student decided to cast his
bot in the promising Indian Territory and
battle for fame and fortune. He settled
at Tulsa in the winter of ls95-96 and has
entered largely into the upbuilding and
enterprise of this city. He opened an
Office over the old poctoflice building and
later moved into the Perryman building.
He formed a partnership with C. c. Ma
gee, which was later dissolved and a
partnership formed with L. M. Poe, the
present style iof the firm being Poe &
Query, with splendid Office rooms in the
Birkney building. In his chosen profess
sion he obtained an enviable reputation,
and his knowledge of law and his ability
we're recognized far and wide.
On November 6, 1900, he was welded
70 Miss Maude Shipman, daughter of
Judge James W. Shipman. To them was
born ia girl, Pauline, now five years Of
age, and boy, William Shipman, now
eight months old. He built beautiful
home for those he loved. He and his
wife were members Of the Presbyterian
church. Besides his family, he leaves to
mourn their loss, a father and mother
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Query, a sister.
Marie, and two. brothers, John H. and
Sam r.
Since he was stricken in robust health |
few months ago, Mr. Querry's friends
haze steadfastly clung to the belief that
he would survive his struggle with re-
morseless Death. But the insidious dis
ease bafied able physicians and left
friends, relatives and family to mourn
the loss Of a kindly, kingly, christian
man.
The funeral took place from the Pres
byterian church under the auspices Of
the Tulsa lodge, No. 65. A. F. and A. N.
