WOLF GOES TO SCHODL
Just Like Mary's Little Lamb Did
Started this Msrning.

Jack, the pet wolf at Matt Cooks
place, has been cogitating over edu-
cational questions for some time and
We finally reached the conclusion that
no wolf could rise very high in the
world without an education. This
conclusion resulted in the determine
tion on his part to start to school.
This morning as w. T. Croslen
was coming down town he passed
Jack near the West building, follow
ing a bunch Of children to school
just like Mary's little lamb did. Mi.
Croslen called to Jack and requested
him to accompany him up town but
the wolf snarled and wouldn't hear
to IT. He continued his way to school
and what happened there hasn't been
reported. Whether il is against
the rule for a wolf to go to school
hasn't been decided

Further down the track mile or two
a gang Of men and teams are at work

The work is being conducted from
the south northward and has just
reached the edge of this city. Many
crews are at work, it would be hard
to even estimate how many, for they
are said to be scattered ali along the
main line from Enid south over a
distance Of hundred miles. With
all possible rapidity the gigantic task
of Transforming the old worn out
dangerous and rotten road bed, which
has wrecked scores of trains in the
last few months, is being effected
When the present work has been com

The afternoon session was occupied
by extended debates on prohibition
Prominent democrats Of the anti
saloon league took issue with Delegate
Hughes, who opposed constitutional
prohibition on the grounds Of non
enforcement.
Another dispatch says the people
win not have an oportHaty to vote
on prohibition for the nes state either
in the constitution or separately. The
committee on liquor traffic has
threshed out the matter carefully with
the result that local option and high
license is favored. Il is pointed .out
that separate submission has It's
drawbacks, the same as a prohibitory
plank IN NE constitution itself.

IRELAND SCORES
BRANDS POLICY

st. Paul, Mimi, jan. 2.-Referring
to the report spread through France
by LIE Matin, of Paris, to the effect that
in his discourse of a week 6 yestcr-
day he had condemned the present AZ
titude of the pope and the French hicr-
archy in reference to the law of separ-
alton and associations of worship,
Archbishop Ireland says:
lie Matin is an anti-Catholic paper
and is willing to defend the action OF
the government, even by the perversion
of facts. 1t is somewhat a vindication
of that action to quote an American
prelate as favoring it. LIE Matin has
unwittingly served the cause of truth.
My discourse last Sunday condemns
unreservedly the associations of wor-
ship as proposed by h French govern
ment and shows that the pope and The
bishops We're compelled by principle to
reject such associations. No other re-
course, I said, was open to the church
in France THAI the rejection of the
ever sacrifice and an appeal to the
people Of France.
IF a word OF blame for the clergy
and Catholics of France seemed to be
spoken it was that heretofore, through
a degree of passivity n supineness,
and a lack of earnest combination II
union, they had allowed the electoral
urns to send to the chamber a majority
of radical I'M irreligious members, but
Catholics in France have received a les
sol and we confidently expect that
they will heed it and rally round their
affairs and hearthstones with sufficient
courage and united effort to insure tie
triumph of justice and religion

POISON IN RUSSIA'S
BOMBS AND LETTERS

st. Petersburg, Jan. 2.-Accustomed
as people here are to new developments
in revolutionary methods, no little CON
s~ternation has been caused by the
latest police discoveries regarding the
manufacture of bombs
For a long time it has been rumored
that the bombs thrown in this city
and at Moscow must be poisoned, as
fragments found have borne traces of
some such treatment. Now there is no
doubt left-a woman's fiat having just
been searched by the police with con-
vincing results.
A quantity of cylinders was found of
such unusual thickness that experts at
once said they were to contain a strong
poison. Further inquiries proved that
bombs of this cylindrical form are filled
with compressed air, carbonic acid, or
any other gas guaranteed to make the
cylinder explode with tremendous force.
his is the reason why one bomb will
blow several persons into fragments.
Experts affirm that horses which have
died without an incised wound on them,
but with the skin cracked all over their
bodies. have been the victims of the
same diabolical instruments. 1t is fur
Their affirmed that a man hit with even
a small piece of such a bomb can.
not live, however slight the wound may
be, as acute blood poisoning immedi-
ately sets in.
But 1t is not only bombs that are poi
soned. Letters are treated in the same
way.

MAN FALLS 800
Feet. is UNHURT


Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. 2.-Falling or
jumping from the topmosr point of Mt.
Franklin, while in a state of intoxica-
ton, or in an epileptic fit, Red Foster,
well known in this city, was found yes
terday by Miguel Uriba, a Mexican
sheep herder, at the foot Of a precipice,
and his find was reported to police, with
the result that Foster was last night
brought to the city by City Sanitary
Inspector Ed B. Stansell and Policeman
Powell Roberts. He was only slightly
injured considering the fall, and was
taken to his home, having refused prof.
fers of medical aid. Uriba, by whom
Foster vas found, says that he first
saw the latter about 8 o'clock yester-
day morning. At that time the herd
of sheep in charge of Uriba We're at
the foot of Mt. Franklin, on the west
side, on the mesa above Ell Paso. His
attention was attracted when he saw q
dark object rolling and tumbling down
h mountain side. The sheep took
fright, and it was only after a chase of
a mile or SO that they were quoted.
Later in the day, about 1 o'clock. the
sheep herder returned to the spot where
he had seen the object, believing that
it had been a bear. He was greatly
surprised to find a man lying on the
ground. 1t is declared that Foster fell
fully 800 feet down the side of the
mountain, part of his fall being over
a sheer precipice for a distance of
probably thirty feet. The balance Of
the distance was covered in rolling
through the cacti and scrub brush.
