THREE BROTHERS, EACH MAYof
All Are Democrats and All Were
Elected on the Same Day.

Muskogee, l. T-The Watts family,
of which w J. Watts was the head in
Indian territory, has a record that is
without a parallel.
There are three Watts brothers,
each Of whom is mayCr of the town
in which he resides, all of them Dem
Ocrats, and all were elected to the
office of mayor on the same day.
W. J. Watts came to Indian terri
tory in 1871, and established a home.
He lived in the Cherokee Nation until
1901, when he died, leaving three
sons. They are Jesse G. Watts, mayor
of Saltisaw; Thomas J. Watts, mayor
of MuIgrow, and Charles G. Watts.
mayor of Wagner All three are law
yers.
w. J. Watts was prominent in the
Indian politics of the Cherokee Ma
ton, and made one of the greatest
fights in the history of the nation for
the establishment of certain rights of
citizens of that Jurisdiction. The elder
of the sons, Jesse G. Watts. is a prob
able candidate for the Democratic
congressional nomination from the
Third district.

OIL REFINING MAKES GAINS.
Petroleum Plants Show Growth In
Number and Capital.

WashingtOn.-In 1905 there were
104 petroleum Fefneries in this cOun-
try. Their total capital was $136,280,-
541; they employed 1910 wage earn
ers; paid in wages $9.9S9,367; used
materials costing S139 9,387,213. and
manufactured products to the value
OF $175.005,3 ,320. As compared with
the totals for the industry at the cen
sus Of 1900, these figures represent in
creases as follows: In number of re-
fneries, 3S.7 per cent; in capital 43
per cent; in number of wage earners.
37.5 per cent; in amount of wages
paid, 4S.7 per cent; in cost of mate
rials, 35.5 per cent, and in value of
products, 41.2 per cent
The number of products which may
be derived commercially from petrol
cum is so great as 70 make it imprac-
icable to obtain returns for each OF
them separately. The principal prod
ucts. together with the value OF each,
were as follows: Burning oils, includ-
ing the different grades of both illum-
mating and fuel oils, s100,571, 1926;
residuum, $3,13S,361; parafin oils, So

942,153, and "all other products, +"
which includes coke. carbon points
and black naphtha. $15.025. .se2.
In 1904 the volume of refined prod
ucts exported was 1S,21S.795 barrels,
or 36S per cent of the total produc-
ton for that year, and the total value
at the ports of shipment was $74.275,-
525. Although the quantity was great
er in 1901 and in 1902, this value is
the largest ever reported for exports
of refined petroleum. It exceeds the
value reported for 1899 by 25.s per
cent. that reported for 1889 by 57.5
per cent and that reported for 1880
by 134.1 per cent. OF the total value

The meager wages-$37.50 a month
she receives from the city, and the
little her sister can contribute by
maintaining a small private school,
are the family's only means of sup
port.
Renowned throughout the country
as an authority on revolutionary his
tory. consulted personally and by let
ter by hundreds of persons in search
of historical information, Miss Wilson
is of great value to the city as an in
telligent custodian Of its past.
She can accurately answer all the
questions of all who visit the museum.
Her amiability, her charming old-time
courtesy and her fund of information
make her invaluable in her position,
and yet she receives from the city
smaller pittance than the average
scrubwOman
While she is consulted by Colonial
Danes, Daughters Of the Revolution
and members of other historical so
eieties, and has been elected an hon
orary member of several of these,
Miss Wilson is too retiring and too
proud to make her straitened condi-
tiOn known, even to those who might
be willing to aid her.
There is, however, a movement on
foot among her friends and some 9TH
ers who know her worth to interest
councils in increasing her salary to at
least $50 month.
Their little house in Sherwood is
rich mai1ly in associations. Heir
looms inherited from Betsy Ross COM
prise much of the furniture High
backed chairs, spindle legged tables,
old silver, china and pewter ware that
would delight the heart of the anti
quarian are in evidence everywhere.
An atmosphere of gentility and old
world grace peryades the modest
abode where these old people are pass
ing their declining days in want.
In her leisure moments Miss Sarah
Wilson makes for sale copies of the

CHAPTER XIII.
BITTER HATE.

And here this affair Of the affec-
lions rested. When they CHANGED to
pass each other on the street, they
found sudden attraction on the other
side so they would not meet. Per-
haps it ought not to be said, but every
time Floss saw him coming toward
her on the street she laughed more
than ordinary to her companions in
order to make Mel feel badly and to
show him what vital loss he had
sustained when he broke with her.
This is human nature, you know.
The first intimation Josie Marion
had of any difficulty between them
was one day when they passed Mel
on the street. Josie noticed that they
did not speak as they passed by" and
that both, looked in opposite direc-
tions. -, E. u
Whats up?' asked Josie in mush
surprise when they had passed out OF
earshot Of Mel. -. ,.s.:

the president and Mrs. Roose- welt will first visit Newport next Thursday, where they will be the guests of Commodore and Mrs. Cor nelius Vanderbilt at Beaulieu for sev
 eral days. The New York Yacht club, of which MT. Vanderbilt is commo- dore, will visit the Rhode Island re- sort on it's annual cruise during the presidents stay, when the races for the time-honored Astor cups and the second contest for the Kings cup will be held. From Newport the pres ident will go to Provincetown, where he will play a principal part in the ceremonies attendant upon the unveil- ing of the monument to commence rate the landing of the Pilgrims. This affair will take place a week from next Tuesday and the president is now at work on the address he will deliver on that occasion. The chief executive and Mrs. Roosevelt will be the recipients of as many social en- tertainments as they care to accept during their stay in New England.
 Word comes from Murray Bay, Canada, where Secretary Taft is spending his vacation, that he will leave for Washington tomorrow, ar irving here Monday. The coming week will be spent in disposing of all i'm portant war department business re- uuiring the secretary's immediate at tention. and a week from tomorrow
 he will leave for Ohio to keep an en- gagement to address the Republican clubs of his home state at Columbus on the evening of August 19. Arous-
 ed to the serious condition of his
 candidacy for the presidency, the
 Buckeye friends of the adipose sec
 retary have advised him to get into the open and fight for the nomina- tion in a strenuous style, if he hopes to win the prize. Many of Taft $ friends have been indulging in crit icism of his attitude before the people being that of a Roosevelt dependent
 rather than of an individual independ- ent candidate standing on his own nlatform, with his own ideas and is- sues. This advice, it is stated on good authority, has had vital efec'
 on Mir. Taft and he has decided te

It is planned to have the en- tire fleet in the Pacific by the time Congress meets in December, when the president will recommend in his annual message additional naval appropriations for contemplating improvements along the Pacific coast:
 Several authorities are now on the coast and others will shortly Hollow to map out arrangements for the reception of the fleet and to con- sider coast, improvement projects and the establishment of new nav al station.
