FRANTz sULKs IN HIS TENT.
Oklahoma Governor Refuses to Help
Install His Successor.

Guthrie, Okla.-Frank Frantz, gov
ernor of Oklahoma territory, would
not participate in the ceremonies Sat
urday incident to the Inauguration of
Gov.-elect Charles N Haskell and the
Democratic state ticket
His attitude became known when
the executive committee in charge of
the affair invited him to appear in the
first carriage in the parade at the side
Of his successor. He refused en-
phatically. Urged to take some part
in a feature of the inauguration, he
insisted that he did not wish to be
connected in any manner with the
ceremonies.
The governors attitude was the re-
suit of charges made during the re.
cent campaign for state officers by
Haskell. The territorial executive
took particular exception to a speech
delivered at Shawnee, in which the
Democratic gubernatorial candidate
made a personal attack on his rival.

An Acute Observer,

A one-armed man sat down to his
monday luncheon in little restaur
ant the other day, and seated on the
right of him was a big, sympathetic
individual from the rural district.
The big fellow noticed his neigh.
boris left sleeve hanging loose and
kept eyeing him in a sort of how-did.
it-happen way. The one-armed man
failed TO break the ice, but continued
to keep busy with his one hand sup
plying the inner man.
At last the inquisitive one on the
right could stand it no longer. He
changed his position a little, cleared
his throat and said: Il see, sir, you
have lest an arm"
Wh2TcUDon the unfortunate man
picked l7p the empty sleeve with his
right hand, peered into it, looked up
with surprised expression, and said;

ILLINOIS PROPERTY VALUES.
Results of Work by State Board of
Equalization.

Springfield, Ill. - The state board
of equalization, which has been in
session ten days after the limit al
lowed by law, adjourned Wednesday
morning. The report of the railroad
committee shows a total assessment
of railroads in Illinois to be about
$l00, 100000, an increase of $4,000, 900
over 1906. The assessment on capita.
stock of corporations in the state is
$l0,60S, 100, about $2,000,000 less than
the assessed valuation for 1906. This
is explained by the fact that the
tangible stock of Chicago corporations
has been assessed at a much higher
valuation by the local assessors than
last year.
In 1907 the total equalized value Of
personal property in Illinois is $246..
Sl9,G50. The total equalized value of
lands is $371904,0$6 The total equal
lied value of lots is $499 ,898,662. The
equalizcd value of personal property,
lands and lots in 1897 is $1,138, ,622,.
39S, compared to $l,015, ,653, ,662 in
1906.

BuboEic Plaque,

San Francisco is dealing in the right
way with the present outbreak of the
b1bonic plague. Five years ago, when
cases of this terrible disease occurred
in San Francisco, there was, for a time
at least, disposition to conceal and
minimize the epidemic; but experience
soon showed, as has been proven en-
phatically in yellow fever visitations
in the south, that the way to fight dis
ease is TO fight it openly, and that the
way to avoid panic is to publish hon
est and complete reports, says the
Outlook. DR.. Rupert Blue, of the
United States public health service,
is in charge of the present fight with
the plague, and is vigorously enforcing
modern, scientific methods. While the
ratio of deaths to cases is absolutely
large, it is less than has been noted
In epidemiCs elsewhere, and the sys-
TEN OF serum injection is regarded as
of value. The terrible mortality usu-
ally attendant upon bubonic plague is
offset IN some measure by the fact
ths tts., glqttr ~ r. j. il. 4al44:l 81 tR 2 !,
thai Injection is largely caused by
rats, and that from them it is spread
In many cases by feas, which carry
the germs of the disease Every effort
is being made to eXtirpate the plague
bearing vermin. Twelve government
surgeons, - San Francisco physicians,
40 sanitary inspectors, and large
force of laborers are working with sci
entitic intelligence and skill to conquer
the black death"

LOUISVILLE WALKS AGAIN
SECOND STREET CAR STRIKE IN
SEVEN MONTHS.
Partial Service Furnished Without
Much Disorder-Hundreds of
StciI:e-Breakers Arrive.

Louisville, Ky. - For the second
time in seven months Louisville
is suffering from street car strike,
the $50 union employees of the
Louisville Railway company having
walked out early Friday morning.
The first day of the strike, however
was not marked by anything ap-
preaching the disorder that attended
the strike last April, and when the
partial service furnished during the
day was discontinued at pightfall only
&c arrests had been made, virtually all
Of them Cor "disorderly conduct"
which charge covered mainly the
throwing of an occasional brick or
jeeTing at the nonunion men.
The company operates, on normal
basis, between 60 and ZOO cars. 1t
was announced by the officials that
when service was suspended Friday
evening they had 40 cars running.
Only about dozen cars were run dur
ing the morning, and only n few pas
sengerS were carried during the day.
The service was suspended in order to
give the police a rest, the entire force
having been on duty for over "a hours.
Five hundred strike-b breakers ar
rived during the day from Chicago
and indianapolis, and 900 moi y l Br
expected. Adding to these the 200
nonuntol employees who did not go
out, the company officials claim they
have almost a full force and will give
practically a normal service. The
strikers claim to have won over a
of nonunion men during the
day. All talk Of mediation or concilia-
ton has been abandoned and the af-
fair is regarded as finish fight by
the public as well as by the strikers
and company officials.

SECRET DRAWERS, GOLD FILLED.
Tarrytown Man Happens on a Fine
Collection Of Five Guinea Pieces.

Stories of treasure trove, treasure
islands, gold bugs and secret drawers
and panels are not altogether confined
to the imagination, as is proved by
recent experience of resident of
Tarrytown.
Some years ago in the division of the
estate of q relative the only thing by
which the Tarrytown man was re-
membered was an unusually heavy
antique mahogany desk, which in due
time was transported to the house of
the recipient and then passed from ac-
tive notice. In a leisure moment a
few days ago the Tarrytown man be-
gan to examine the gift and found
much to admire in its substantial con-
struction and fine hand carving. In
the course of his examination he came
across not the mere TRADITIONAL single
secret drawer, but several secret
drawers. What was still more to the
purpose, each drawer was filled to the
brim with English gold pieces of the
largest denominations, and the mys-
terry of the great weight of the desk
was solved.
Nearly all the coins were of the val
ue of five guineas, which gold piece,
it may be explained, at a rough es-
innate, is equivalent to more than $26
and weighs considerably more than
half again as much as an ordinary sill
yer dollar. The most recent of the
gold pieces were of the period Of
George II. This king was represented
by the five guinea piece in consider
able numbers. Some of the pieces of
this denomination Of George II.
showed the word Lima" under the
bust on the diverse, which indicated
that they had been struck from gold
captured by English privateers from
Spanish vessels on their way home
from Lima, Peru. Under the bust of
other five guinea pieces were the let
ters "E. /. c." for the East India
company, which mark indicated that
the gold had been sent to the English
mint by this company.
There were five guinea pieces of
George l. The distinguishing mark
on these coins was the figure of an
elephant or of an elephant and cat
tie, to show that the gold had been i'm
ported from the district of Guinea in
West Africa, from which fact the
term guinea" is derived.
Good Queen Anne was also repre-
sented by five guinea pieces. This es-
Unable lady reigned from 1902 to
1714, and the gold coins of 1903 show
the word "Vigo" under the queens
bust. This word was used to COM
memorate the capture of several Span
ish galleons by the combined English
and Dutch fleets in the latter part of
l7O2 in Vigo bay, and the gold taken
upon this occasion was used in these
coins.
There were several of the large
gold coins of William III. The oldest
of the coins found in the desk were
the handsome five guinea pieces of
William and Mary which showed on
the diverse the busts of the king and
queen.
All of the coins had been circulated,
but We're still IN very fine condition,
and of the $50 large gold pieces con-
tanned in the secret receptacles many
had an excess value on account of
their interest to collectors.

The British youth of the present
generation is not in quite so bad
way as the recent discussions of physi-
cal deterioration would indicate. At
tention was lately called to the inter-
esting condition revealed by a study
of the measurements of the schoolboys
at Marlborough for the past 20 years.
The I4-year-old boys of 1906 are five
pounds heavier and one and one-half
inches taller than boys of the same
age in 1856, and the 1G-year-old bows
are eight pounds heavier and three.
fourths Of an inch taller. A halter
who provides hats for the boys in six
schools says that a few years ago he
rarely was asked for a hat 21% inches
in circumference, but now he is fire.
quently called upon for hats an inch
larger. 1t is not at all unlikely that
the revelation of the poor physique of
the British youth that followed the
Boer war recruiting aroused parents
to a sense Of the Importance of getting
their boys into the fresh air, where
they could take a proper amount of
wholesome exercise.
