The Abbott-LaShelle-H Hull commit
tee which was out again Wednesday

task which it undertook, and it is be-
lieved by tonight that the needed

now twenty-five names on the list, and
there is every rea SON to believe that at

solicitation, or had had turned over

Mrs. Inez LOOley Dead.

A telephone message received
from Clafin Monday morning
announced the death of Mrs. O. B.
LoOney, occurring at the hospital
at Wichita, where she had been
under medical treatment. She
died Monday morning, the 5th and
the interment will take place at
La Crosse, on Tuesday. Mrs. o.
B. LoOney was before her mar
riage Miss Inez Toadyine, and
grew to womanhood in the north
east part of the county. She was
about SO years old and was mar
ried to Mr.. Looney about ten
years ago. She leaves a son nine
year old, a daughter about seven,
and her husband, to mourn her
loss. Until about a year ago they
had made their home in Clahin
where Mr.. Looney was the
banker, but on the consolidation
of the two banks they moved to
La Crosse and made their home
there. She was a very pleasant
woman, and a favorite with all
who knew her, and leaves mfnT
friends who mourn her death, and
who unite with US in extending
sympathy to the bereaved husband
and children.

A Sunday Morning Fire.

About 12 80 Sunday morning an
alarm of fire routed people out
of bed in lively shape, and run
was made to the home of j. L.
Beightle, 1901 Morphey street,
where, on the lots west of his resi-
dence and machine shop a cook
wagon was on fire. The cook
shack, which belonged to Charles
Nader was burned up, and a part
of the wood work on his traction
engine and water wagon. The
damage wasabout $125. The wind
being in the northeast saved the
other buildings close by as at that
time of night the fire got good
start before the hose was laid to
it. Mr. Nader was in the coun-
try, at Henry Remerts, and it is
unknown how the fire started.

Country VS. Town.

The South Bend boys came back
Saturday night for another oy iter
supper contest with some of the
boys in town, and had the contest,
the supper, and the expense bill.
They brought Bob Bidleman and
Ben Kelly this time, and they
did not seem to be scared any, but
stood up to the rack and took
their medicine. Fred Moore was
absent from the south side crowd.
and his place was filed by John
Brown. The town crowd was the
same as before, with Gene Smith
as umpire. Two sets played eight
games of pitch each, and two five
games Of whist each. In the pitch
games the South Siders won by
q points, but in the whist game
the town boys pulled in by 81,
thus winning out. The supper
was served at Sandy's, and was
fine. A return engagement of
pitch will be pulled off at Louis

9th, and that is where the boys
from town will get a good licking.

THE NEW STATE

After checking the wheels for SIX
months by futile and unnecessary
discussion and after giving the
country an exhibition of triviality,
not to say puerility, which will pro-
badly stand as the record for all
time, Congress has at last extended
to Oklahoma an invitation to come
into the Union. The statehood bill,
in SO far as it applied to Oklahoma,
went through the House without
dissenting vote. The recognition
which has been due Oklahoma for
five years has been unanimously, If
tardily given.
Naturally there will be much cur
iosity in Kansas concerning our new
neighbor. The marvellous growth of
what is now the state of Oklahoma
has been a constant theme since the
hardy settlers made their first not
able run for new land in April, 1880.
Statistics are, as rule, dry read
ing, but some of those concerning
Oklahoma will be found of especial
interest at this time.
The new state will be triAe
smaller than Kansas. 1t has an
area slightly in excess of 10, 600
square miles, while Kansas measures
over all little rising of so, 900
Oklahoma begins business on its
own account with population of
1850, 900. 1t is surprising to learn
that Of these only oo,ezs are In
dams. Even in the Indian territory
proper there are only S7,oSo In
dams, while the whites number
IS, 900. The negro population al
so affords an element of surprise.
The census shows that only 6I,o
colored people have found perman.
ent homes in the two territories
Just admitted as one state.
The taxable property of the new
state amounts to 800 million dollars.
It has 43o million dollars of the
coin of the realm tucked safely
away in the national, state and pri-
vate banks. The annual wheat
crop is forty million bushels, the
annual corn crop seventy-two mil
lion bushels and the annual cotton
crop Eve hundred thousand bales.
