The most Of the farmers planted their
cotton early this year but tine recent
bad weather either washed UP the
seed or killed the young plant. which
necessitates the replanting of the great
sr part of the crop.
The farmers are experiencing consid-

will be unable to plant any cotton this

"Tw0 Per Cent" Case Dismissed.

The case Of the city of Kiowa VS..
John McGarrah, charged with selling
malt. which was set for trial at kiiowa
last Thursday was dismissed on account
of defective ordinance. The mayor
and council, as soon as it was discovered
that the ordinance was void. met and en-
acted new one which is identical with
the Paola ordinance which the supreme
court has held good. The new ordi-
nance provides that malt or its kindred
liquids can not be sold in quantities less
than four gallons IN one jug or flask, and
that it shall be unlawful to permit it to
be drunk at any bar or Stand in any
place Of business. The penalty provided
for each ofense is a fine of not less
than $4,000 and costs.
The old ordinance provided for a
sweeping prohibition and the same pen
atty that applies to the violation of the
prohibitory law. By some mode Of
reasoning the supreme court Of this state
hold that the cheap substitutes for beer
that have been manufactured to cncum-
vent the prohibitoy law are not intoxi-
eating liquors In the sense that beer is
and that cities. therefore, can only re-
strict its sale. Probably if the supreme
judges had to drink the stuff for period
Of thirty July days, as a substitute for
beer. they would be willing to put the
legal ban on it forever.
McGarah's attorneys, C. M. Martin
and Seward |. Field, have advised him
that the new ordinance is valid.

0klahoma.Kansas League Standing.

The results Of the OkIahoma-Kansas
League base ball games and the relative
standing OF the teams as brought out by
Sundays games, follow:
AT Alva Danville played a double
header, winning out in both games. The
scores were 4 to and 8 to |. In these
games Drauhard, Tnice and Clifton Of
Sharon, assisted Danville which accounts
for the double victory.
The two games which Wellington
owed to Sharon and the one which
kiowa was going to play at Sharon were
all forfeited to Sharon, as both the Wei
lngton and kiowa teams figured that it
would be less humiiaing to concede
Sharon the championship than to play
and lose. This puts Sharon first in the
league and if the boys are careful they
can hold the belt.
Harper and Wellington have with
drawn from the League and the other
four teams will play out the balance Of
the season.

A Baby Tornado.

This section Of the country came near
having another twister last Friday night.
The wind was very fierce and the rain
fell in sheets. The storm ragged worse
east Of the city than it did in town. A.
.Schwartz's barn (on the former Chapin
place. was unro ofed and the roof carried
over the house and dropped. Mr..
Schwartz was standing in the doorway
of his house when the barn roof was
travelling through space and expected
every moment to see the house go. Col.
John MacGregor who resides a short
distance farther east, also suffered dam
age. His wheat ncks were badly torn
up and saturated with water. On O..
Briggs place all the outbuildings were
blown down but the house escaped
damage.

A Good Result.

Under the operation Of the new Pure
Food Laws, baking powders now sener-
ally bear on the labels statement of the
ingredients. This is sofutmost importance
because Of the harmful ingredients used
IN many cases.
Royal Baking Powder is known to be
the only baking powder made Of Royal
Grape Cream Of Tartar, and this no
doubt explains its greatly increased sale
here.
Careful housekeepers are taking advan-
tage Of the protection which the Laws
afford, and are examining all the reading
matter on the back Of the label before
adopting any brand for use in the home.
When in place Of the words Cream Of
Tartar the words alum" ALUMINIUM" or
phosphate Of lime" appear among the
ingredients, they take warning and avoid
baking powder containing these substitut-
cS.

Bitten By A Rather.

Abe DeMot of Moore township, who
resides about twelve miles southwest Of
this city, was bitten in the hand by a
rattesnake Tuesday Of last week when
out trimming trees. DR.. Donovan was
called as soon as possible but when he
got there his arm was badly swollen from
the shoulder and for few days his con-
didon was regarded very serious but last
reports are that he is getting along all
right.
Mr.. DeMott did not let the serpent
get away. After he was bitten he jump
ed onto the enemy with both feet and
crushed it from head to tail.
MIR. DeMott is a temperance man but
is not an extremist He keeps good
whiskey in the house for medical pur-
poses and Immediately after the disposal
Of the snake he kept drinking whiskey
until DR.. Donovan arrived, which was
a factor in saving his life.

JOHN R. Mccoy DEAD.
Died at 10 O'Clock P. NJ. THURSDAY,
July II, From Injuries Received
in Tornado June 23rd.

John R. Mccoy died at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. c. c. Bene6el, Thurs
day night, July II, 1907, at 10 o'clock.
lhe injuries which he received In the
tornado Sunday evening, June 23rd,
were too great for one Of his years and
physical condition to overcome. About
year ago he suffered severe paralytic
stroke and while he recovered rom it
his strength was impaired and he was in
no condition to withstand the ordeal
throug n which he and his good wife
passed on the frighful evening when
their home was destroyed, almost bury
ing the occupants beneath the debris.
Mr.. Mccoy sustained internal injuries,
but for the first week after the catast.o-
phe there were hopes Of his recovery.
The second week, however, it was very
evident that he was gradually sinking.
Mrs. Mccoy, who sustained three brok-
en- ribs, broken wrist and other injuries,
excepting her present sad experience, is
getting along nicely.
Funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church at 4 clock FRIDAY
afternoon, conducted by Rev. w. Nj.
Covert. The services were largely at
tended by friends who deeply feel the
loss Of this worthy citizen.
The deceased was 6S years, two
months and 20 days of age. He is sur
vlved by wife, three sons and five
daughters S., Harvey H., Har-
~, Mrs. T. B. kinkaid. Mrs. H. c..
Hull. Mrs. c. c. Bene6el, Misses Bessie
and Mary Mccoy. all Of whom reside
IN the city and county.
MIR. Mccoy served four years in the
Civil war. He entered the service Au-
gust 3. 1861, as First Sergeant, Co. B.
First Reg. w. Va. Cavalry and was
atterward promoted to First Lieutenant.
He was honorably discharged July %,
1865. He was a member Of E.Idred
Post, c. A. R. Of this city since March
26, 1883, and was highly esteemed by
all Of his comrades.
The solicitude with which the bedside
of Uncle John, as he was Familiarity
known, is the strongest testimonial of the
place he had in the hearts Of his fellow
citizens. Having been one Of the early
settlers in the city and county, he was
widely known. and the day did not
dawn, after his injury, that friends did
not inquire about his progress and finally
when the time came when taps were
sounded there was general expression
Of profound regret.
Mrs. Mccoy and sons and daughters
desire to express their deepest grattu de
TO the citizens and neigbors who render
ed them such great and kindly assistance
throughout their terrible misfortunes.
Their appreciation Of the kindnesses be-
slowed cannot be fully expressed in
words.
