OKLAHOMA ORDER
 STATE LINE DEPOIS
The New States Commission Under takes to Enforce Reduced Rates in Adjoining States.

Guthrie, Okla. Nov. 25.-An order will be issued tomorrow requiring all railroads doing interstate business to build stations on the state line at points intersected by various routes, is the announcement of the corporation commission tonight The importance of the departure is obvious. Under the present schedule the interstate passenger rate is three cents in spite of the fact that in many of the states traversed the maximum rate is the same as that of Oklahoma. two cents. Unable to change the schedule the commissioners resorted to the state line depot plan as the only solution of the proposition.
 At these intersections the order re- quires the erection of a substantial de- pot where passengers will be allowed to buy tickets at the local rate and re- check their baggage. Under the pres ent regime passengers from Oklahoma to Kansas, Arkansas or Texas points must pay the old rate depite the exist ence of the reduced schedule in each of the four states. Tourists have been buying tickets to the town nearest the state line. then paying their fare on the train to their destination in an ad joining state where legislation has provided for a two cent fare. It is expected that the ruling of the com mission will do away with this pro- cedure.

UPWARD MOVEMENT
 WAS PREMATURE
Though the Financial Situation Is Improved Stocks Are Not Yet to Be Benefited.

New York. Nov 25.-The stock mar ket showed no disnositicc at any time today to follow up the advance of Sat urday. The movement seemed to be considered as ill-advised on second thought and the ground of resumption of an active advance in stocks to be premature. Banking operations have been restored to normal An early re- sumption of cash payments all over the country is now looked for with growing confidence. There was an urgent liquidation in special stocks which was an unsettling factor in the market last week. the weakness being especially pronounced in Missouri Pa cific. and the whole list was more or less affected. On other sides the ac- count was strong.
 The advance in copper in both Lon don and New York and the further easing of the premium on currency today were the more important devel- opments of the day. All the days ar rivals of gold from London were talk en for New York accounts at a sharp recession in prices. Call money was appreciably easier today. The stock market remained unaffected by the manifest improvement in the baking position and the condition of circu- lation. Prices declined without much interruption from the start to the fin ish. Bonds were irregular.

Indians, Poisoned Arrows.

An old Cherokee Indian recently gave away the secret of how the In- dians of solden times used to poison their arrowheads for war purposes or for killing bears. They took a fresh deer liver. fastened 1t to a long pole and then went to certain places where they knew they would find rattle snakes in abundance. About midday the rattlers are all out of their dens, |coiled up in the cooking sun. The bucks would poke the first rattler they found with the liver on the long pole. A rattler. unlike common snakes. all ways shows fight in preference to es- IcapiBg. The snake would thus re- peatedly strike at the liver with it's fangs until its poison was all used up. |whereupon it would quit striking and try slowly to move on. The bucks would then hunt up another rattler and repeat the performance. keeping up the work until the liver was well soaked with snake poison.
 Then the pole was carried home and fastened somewhere in an upright po- sition until the liver became as dry as a bone. The liver was then pound ed to a fine powder and placed in a buckskin bag. to be used as needed for their arrows. This powder would stick like glue to any moistened surface and was death to any creature which it entered on arrows.-Denver Field and Farm.

A POINT FOR WALSH
 IN THE CHICAGO SUIT
1t is Brought Out That the Bank Es- aminers Knew of the Character of the Secretary.

Chicago, Nov. 25-The cross-e xam- ination of Frederick MacLean. former cashier of the Chicago National bank gave the attorneys for John R. Walsh an opportunity to score several points today. The most important came when an explanation by MacLean of the re- ports to the clearing house was ex- cluded by the court on the ground that the former cashier had not personally made out the documents. Objections by the defense came after MacLean testified that Walsh had directed him to treat numerous memorandum notes of the bank as direct loans to parties whose names were signed to them and the bank report was sent to the clear ing house and to the comptroller of currency.
 Walsh's attorneys argued that as MacLean had not made out the report his testimony regarding them was in- competent and this view was upheld by Judge Anderson.
 Under cross-examination MacLean admitted that the bank examiners were familiar with the memorandum notes and knew of the collateral on which they were based. He admitted that he did not turn over the cashiers checks to Walsh personally but gave them to the banks private bookkeeper. B. B. Mckay. The questioning of MacLean was suspended temporarily and Mckay was called to the stand. Nothing ma- terial was developed from his answer before the adjournment was taken.
 Previous to MacLean's appearance several men whose names were signed to memorandum notes, testified that such signatures were unauthorized by them.

TURKEYS IN TOBACCO FIELD
How They Helped Growers OF the
Weed in Kentucky

~ saw sight out in the country
the other day" said an old Kentuck-
ian now visiting in st. Louis, that
recalled a good many memories OF the
tobacco fields of my native State.
"You know wherever tobacco Is
grown tobacco worms appear as
though by magic. If let alone they
speedily destroy the entire crop, so a
large share Of the attention required
by a tobacco field consisted in getting
rid of the worms During slavery days
every tobacco plantation had a swarm
of little darkies whose duty it was to
parade along the rows of plants every
day and pick off the worms, Sometimes
the pickers were provided with little
tin buckets, old oyster cans or things
like that into which they would put
their worms, and the one whose can
was fullest at the end of the days
work was rewarded with a small gra-
tuity.
"After the war, however, colored boys
and girls preferred going to school to
picking tobacco worms, so 1t was hard
to find pickers.
"Then some one discovered that tur-
keys would do the work, and every
tobacco grower raised each season a
bis flock of turkeys and turned them
lccse In his fields to catch the worms.
They soon learned what they were
there for and that the best part of
their daily provender was to be found
on the leaves rather than on the
ground. They would examine every
leaf and not worm escaped them.
1.-THE st. Louis county farmer had a
patch of tobacco, for his own use, |
suppose, and he also knew the trick
of keeping the plants clean, for there
was squad of half grown turkeys,
with an old gobbler and three or four
hens leading the procession, marching
ur and down the rows, turning their
heads first to one side, then to the
other, and jumping up with a kick
and a fiutter after worm that was
too high to be reached from the
ground
II don't know how they manage the
worms in Kentucky now, for it has
been years since 1 have been there.
Perhaps they spray the plants with in
secticldes, but 1 shall never forget the
diligence displayed by the young tur-
keys when they were first introduced
into a tobacco field and discovered
that worms were good eating"

adventurer of science as they who sail

You know but vaguely where you

going, but to a great extent your
course depends upon your wish, as well
az upon your skill and experience. You
have the choice of attitudes. You may
accept one current of air, or you may
rise higher and take another.
You may pierce the clouds and rise

New Haven scored two and from this
point had the game well in hand A
slaughter occurred in the fourth when
the invaders were mercilessly belabored
much to the joy of the multitude. The
first three innings furnished a good
quality of ball for a contest of anna
teurs with no greater pretense than
these two teams and throughout the
game New Haven played fair BALL But

Some of the misplays were ludicrous,
some fatal. Patrolman Dermody, the

laurels. yesterdayAa and with a lame leg

The girls screamed and j. Burley of
17s Peduonnock street ran to their
assistance. He seized Mauri and held
