the new state of Oklahoma, Kansas has
Jared we'll, three of the fortunate Off
Gals being former residents of the
state.
Ralph E. Campbell of McAlester,
judge of the eastern district, was born
in Atchison county, and lived the early
part of his life at Muscotah. Here he
was 81 bOyhood friend of Fred Badger,
the Kansas newspaperman, and Lon
Wilcox, whom "Shef'' Ingalls, defeated
on a drawing contest for member OF
the legislature last winter. Campbell
attended school in Atchison, at Camp
bell college, Holton, and at the uni
versity. He went to Indian Territory
in the nineties, and has been prosperous
in the practice. He is under 40 years,
and helped run the late Oklahoma cam
reau. Campbell early secured the in
dorsement of the Rough Riders" Gov
ernor Frantz and Chairman Hunter, and
though nightly opposed, he Won; for
Frantz and Hunter were In supreme
control. In his victory Campbell defeat
ed several Kansans, among them
Judges Gill and Dickerson.
The new district attorney for the
eastern district William j. Gregg OF
Tulsa, is also a Kansan. He was born
in Illinois, but went to Crawford coun-
ty as child, grew up on farm, studied
law in Pittsburg, and practiced there
for many years. He was an applicant
for appointment as district judge by
Governor Bailey in 1908 when the new
district was created, and was strongly
urged to be the Crawford county can
didate for congress in the Third district
the year Phil Campbell was first
nominated, declining in CampbelPs IA
yor. Gregg has been successful in the
practice at Tulsa, where he went about
four years ago.
In the western district the judge is
of SIIth ria
didate on the state ticket for associate
Justice of the Oklahoma supreme court.
Cotterall is young, a good lawyer, and
a Kansan He lived for many years at
Garden City, and left there only so
recently that those in Garden City be

The three other places, marshal in

fortunately did not go to Kansans.
cousin of Mrs. Roosevelt got the first
named the presidents 'wolf-catcher"
the next, and John Embry, present dis
trict attorney for Oklahoma, the same
position. 49,
In the eastern district, there will be
Ave places where United States court
will be held, with deputy clerk at each
Mace: and these positions will pay well.
At least two Kansans, it is thought, will
land in these places, they being Otis
Iorton of Medicine Lodge at Tulsa,
where he is now deputy clerk; and j.
Freshman of Harveyvllle, friend of Sem
ator Curtis and Representative Miller.
who it is thought will land Chickasha.
Thus Kansas will do fairly well in the
first Oklahoma state patronage.

SAVED BY A COUGH.
Family of Arthur Meeker Narrowly
Escapes Death by Fire.

Chicago, Nov. 11.-Arthur Meeker,
general manager for Armour & Co.,
was called upon to battle with a fire in
his home early yesterday morning He
became the leader in saving his four
children and ten house servants from
the flames. He himself rescued three
of the children and Miss E. UdeH, a
governess, saved the fourth.
The fire, which caused damage esti-
mated at $4,000, was discovered by
Miss Udell in the nursery on the third
floor. She had been awakened by the
coughing Of two of the children, Ar
thur, jr, and Mary, who were asleep
in the room. Though their coughing
probably saved the lives of all in the
house. they themselves continued to
sleep soundly as Mr.. Meeker and the
governess lifted them from their cots
and bore them from the room, the
father carrying Arthur. jr., and the
governess the little girl.
Katherine and Grace, the other two
children, were sleeping in room on
the second floor, and the father bore
both these in his arms at one time
Mr.. Meeker did not awaken Mrs.
Meeker until he had satisfied himself
the children were safe.
When all the rescue work was done
Mr.. Meeker telephoned the fire de-
partment

The high dive of the athletic cham
pionships was won by L. Anderson who
cleared the stick at feet inches.
F. Rousch was second and R. Ahlstrom
third. In the team series the Blue de-
feated the Red on volley ball with
score of 10 to and the White defeat

paratus practice and open wrestling.

the first saloon, has been the motivs
for almost infinite maneuvering with
chief stewards on the part Of the pas
sengers.
Glamor of brass buttons or the
theory that the nearer the passenger Is
to the captain during meals the greater
the confidence reposed by him in that
passenger has been accountable for
this.
After the first of January the cap
tain'S table, will cease to be on the ex-
press steamers of the North German
Lloyd company. Small tables are to
replace the time honored long tables
including those over which the captains
now preside. The reasons for the
change is that Transatlantic travel is
on such a big and important scale
nowadays that the captain must be re-
lieved from all unnecessary strain even
conversational. And, again, 1t is being
found that where there are many first
class passengers, indiscriminate assoc
citation of travellers and officers Is In
consistent with the latter's dignity, con-
venience and pleasure.

FRANK WEARS COMPANY FAILS.
Liabilities Estimated et 100000 and
Assets at $15O.O00.

Kansas City, Nov. IF. E. Wear,
president of the Kansas City Motor Car
company; the William c. Johnson &
Sons Machinery company of st. Louis,
and G. s. Blakeslee Of Kansas City
filed a petition in the United States dis
trict court Saturday afternoon asking
that the Kansas City Motor Car COM
pany be adjudged an involuntary bank
rupt. The company has a factory. at
7400 independence road in Sheffield,
where it owns about thirty acres. The
business occupies two large brick
buildings and employs from fifty to
seventy-five men.
The company began business about
two years ago, giving its energies
chiefly to making heavy motor trucks
which it sold extensively in many parts
of the country George H. Wheeler who
died few weeks ago was one of the
organizers. The currency stringency,
1t is understood, prevented the company
from continuing to finance it's business
The indebtedness is estimated at
$500, 900 and the assets at $150,000. Mr..
Wear president of the company is the
chief creditor. John NJ. Cleary present.
ed the petition. It is hoped to arrange
the company's affairs so 1t may con-
tinue in business.
Mr.. Wear, president of the company,

ident of the Wear Coal company.

to the fact that aside from the death
roll, which totals over $4,000, malaria
deaths in the United States, yellow
fever has cost the nation over 100000
900. 1t is with these figures in hand
that the New York physician is moving
on towards congress with his crusade.
In New York the problem of prevent
ing this disease is now wholly one of
DISCRIMINATING the mosquito, says Dr.
Ayers, and this can be done at reason
able cost. Drainage and swamp re-
clamation covers the matters entirely.
There are 100000 acres of swamp
land in the eastern part of the United
States alone. This water-logged land
is high class soil for agricultural uses
when drained and if reclaimed and
populated it would not only support
"a 900 900 people but it would save the
lives of many thousands, prevent ILL
ness in hundreds of thousands and in
crease the values of adjacent good land
now invested with mosquitoes from
neighboring- swampS. To get rid of the
MOSQUITO is no longer an experiment,
but surprisingly simple and inexpen-
SiVe.

He arrives at this conclusion through
the fact that throughout the entire
world, estimated from census figures,
the total deaths from malaria would
be far in excess of this figure. He said
down the mosquito as the principal
offender in spreading this disease and
it is because of this that he charges
the mosquito with this frightful roll of
death. In addition to malaria five 9TH
er diseases, including yellow fever, are
laid to this pest.

LOCK UP THE HORSE
People in the South End Have
 No End of Trouble.

People in the south end of the city have grown tired getting out of their beds at all hours of the night to chase old plugs of horses out of their gardens and have turned the matter over to Prosecutor Meigs, who will notify the owners to keep them where they belong and if they don't heed 1t they will learn more from the prose- cutor in one day than they ever would know listening to the aggriey- ed parties. There is statute and an ordinance providing against letting horses, cows and all kinds of animals run at large on the public streets and even though the law didn't regulate such things it would seem that com mon decency would prompt anybody not to make practice of offending in that way. A horse or a COW might break loose and do lot of damage, but if it isn't an everyday occurrence one may overlook it. A person who has no place for horse but the high way has no business keeping one and people are fools to allow them to worry them any great length of time. Nobody is obliged to maintain a fence along the highway so that owners of horses who want to pas ture them on the highways must not think folks are obliged to guarG against this sort of trespass either by fence or watchman.
