Bryan Approves Constitution.

Oklahoma City, Okla, June IS. At a meeting of representative Democrats the two territories. which convened today to ratify' the nominations made at the re- cent primaries, official returns were presented showing that C. N. Haskellhad received the noml- nation for governor and that T. |. Gore and Robert Owen had been nominated for United States sena- tors.
 William Jennings Bryan ad- dressed the delegates in the af- ternoon. Mr. Bryan was given an ovation. He said in the course of his speech, which was wildly cheered:
 You have the best constitu- tion today of any state in the Un- ion, and a better constitution than the constitution of the United States. This is not extrayagant praise. All the other states have stood as your models. Let me suggest that you take as your campaign keynote, Let the peo- pie rule"
 The best thing in your con- stitution is the initiative and referendum. It permits the peo- pie to make their constitution what they wish it to be. For that reason l don't see how any Re publican can vote against it."

But the council further instructed him to have the brick moved today at the expense of the owners.

FOUL PLAY, ACCIDENT, SUICIDE?

Mayfeld, Ky, Feb. 5.-(Special.)
After "a hours spent in Investigate

house Sunday night, in which a
stranger, whose name is supposed to
be Doyle, was killed, the authorities
are no nearer a solution of the mys-
terry of the origin of the fire and the
dead mans identity than before. All
theories as to Doyle's identity so far
have been disproyen, by the parties
whom he was supposed to be report
ing alive and well.
The murder theory is still chung to
by some, but no motive has been dis
covered. and no arrests probably will
be made. State Fire Marshal Mott

Mrs. j. H. Nofflett is Almost
Drowned in the Ohio
Steam supply of Scotia Gives Out and
She Swings Against Gents
Show Boat. = y
RESCUED AS SHE is SINKING.

Loss of control Of the towboat
Scotia through failure of the steam
supply caused that boat to swing a
barge she had in tow against F. Gents
showboat at the foot of jefferson
street last night at Z O'Clock, and
knocked Mrs. ]. H. Nofflett of the
showboat into the river. Her husband
saw the accident and with the assist
ance Of his one-armed brother. Boyne
Nofflett, succeeded in rescuing Mrs.
Nofflett from the river after she went
under the second time.
Fortunately Mrs. Noffiett was
knocked of between the boat and
the shore. and where the river was
only FIVE feet deep. But her heavy
clothes made 1t impossible for her to
regain her feet after she had fallen
in and she would have drowned II
assistance had not been at hand.
1t was while Mrs. Nofiett was COM
ling aboard the showboat that the ac-
|cident occurred. Just as she reached
the end of the plank near the boat,
the heavy barge completely out OF
control swung against the other side
of the showboat and Mrs. Nonlett
was precipitated into the river with
dizzy suddenness. Her screams
brought her husband to the edge of
the boat and his brother Boyne,
though one-armed. sprang into the
river and with each holding one side
of Mrs. Noff,ett she was puzzled onto
the boat. In rushing to his wife's
rescue, J. H. Noffiett half fell on her
showing her completely under the
water again.
The cause of the accident was sthe
failure of the steam supply of the
towboat Scotia. which was handling
barges for the West Kentucky Coal
company. According to the Scotia's
officers. the machinery allows the
steam to escape and at q critical time,
the supply completely gave out. The
plot could do nothing with the boat.
And the momentum and current of
the river swung the barge against the
showboat. Mr. Noffiett said that the
officers on the Scotia were prompt in
coming to their assistance when they
heard Mrs. Noffiett scream.
In view of Mrs. Noffiett's delicate
condition. the result OF the cold
plunge may be serious. She was in
disposed this morning and may have
to go to bed. Mr.. Nofiiett said that
the damage done by the accident
would be insignificant II Mrs. Noffiett
experienced no bad results.
