RA|DED KATY TRAIN
Passengers Held Up" Last Night
by ''PMssyfoot" johnson.

Quite a number of VinitanS came in
from the north on the 7:20 Katy train
last evening, and they report raid
made by 'Pussyfoot" Johnson between
Parsons and this place
Several arm loads of liQgor were de
m0lished by the veteran booze smasher,
and Ia number Of cases, it is alleged,
valises belonging to ladies were con
fiScated ana searched, johnson Fefus-
ing to return them until the owners
should callifor them in person What
the yalises contained is not known.
No one disputes "Pussyfoot's'' right
to capture booze wherever he may
find it IN tie territory, but many peo-
pie who want to see the law enforced
and his duties as and officer faithfully
discharged, do not approve Of Mr..
Johnson's rude methods Of doing it.
There are other fields in which he
could operate to better advantage, and
with better results, than by trying to
entrap the unwary who are passing
the territory on regular
trains,

Walking Advertisement.

The most striking advertisement
that was ever gotten up by Vinita
business men, was K. N. Ratcliff Mer-
camille Companies walking adVer-
tisement today. 1t consisted of Rube
Murphey and wife, possibly the
"greenest" pair OF country Jakes that
eyer hit the town.
The first thing they did was to go
to Ratcliff's big store and purchase
a suit of clothes, for Rube and new
hat for Mrs Murphey. To describe
the rest would require more space
than we have at our command. Suf-
fee it to say that Rube is Of the Sol
Smith Russell type" and has never
been excelled by any comers or geers.
He carried the crowd UP and down
the streets, telling them all the time
That "Theynever rip when they come
from Ratclitf's
Rube is a high kicker and to prove
that "they never rip when they come
from Ratcliff's he kicks over the heads
Of the tallest men in town, his choice
being the fellows that wear the shoes.
Three feet above his head is an easy
mark for Rube.

LIE NAILED
Last Stand of the Kickers Frus-
trated by Haskell.

Guthrie, Ok, Nov. S-The takers
here who conducted the recent disas-
ltrous campaign OF Tying for the Re-
puAllbans, have started another fake,
even bolder than any of their previous
lies.
The state Capital has story to the
effect that Goyernor-elect Haskell is
planning to move the state capital to
Shawnee. This story IS made up from
a written inerview with Mr.. haskell
and deliberate attempt was made to
misrepresent him. Answering ques-
tions propoHAded to him in writing,
Haskell gave to the Capital signed
statement In which he says that no
thought was ever given to moving the
capital to Shawnee; that satisfactory
arrangements scan be made for the
state offices at Guthrie if the rent
asked is not Too high; that the enaE
ling act, which fixes the state capital
at Guthrie was fully accepted by the
constitution adopted; that the govern
ment will be located where the law
provides it shall be located In an
swer to the question, "Could the Leg
islature remove the capital?" Mr..
Haskell replied ia writing: II would
refer you to section fourteen, article
six of the constitution.
"To make the lie stand out in even
bolder relief, it is announced that ar
rangements have already been made

FATALLY INJURED
Ten Year Old Son of Bert Hughes
Thrown From a Horse and Is
Not Expected to Recover.

Jimmie, the ten-year-old son of Bert
Hughes, the implement man, was
thrown from a horse near the Katy
stock yards about noon today and so
seriously injured that his death is ex-
pected TO occur at any time.
The boy and All older brother we're
rounding up a bunch Of cattle near
the yards and nothing was known OF
the accident until the horse the lad
been riding was seen riderless and the
saddle turned to one side Of the ami
NAL, The older brother was not with
the little fellow at the time Of Gccl-
dent, and no one saw it happen, but
the supposition is that when the sad
die turned the unfortunate boys foot
was caught in the stirrup and his ins
juries sustained by dragging on the
ground
The Injuries consist Of fracture at
the base of the brain, fracture OF the
thigh and internally hurt. Dr. Louis
Bagby was called to dress the wounds
and he informed a Chieftain reporter
that there was little, If any, chance
for recovery The boy had not re-
gained consciousness at the hour of
going to press
The accident is deeply regretted,
and in their hour of grief Mr.. and Mrs.
Hughes have the heartfelt sympathy
of large circle of friends.

production Of the heaviest types of to-
bacco. New ground tobacco is generally
brighter in color and smaller in yield
than that grown on old manured lots.
Fall breaking with three horses on deep
soils is important, because it destroys to
a large extent the cut worms that prey
upon the young plants after they are
transplanted. In March the land should
frequent working with a heavy tooth or
disc harrow is necessary to put the land
in fine condition of tilth.
FERTILIZING, KILLING AND
PLANTING.
All the accumulations of ashes, tobacco
stalks and scraps should be scattered
over the land before narrowing. These
to the stable manure that should always
be applied in the fall, when it is put on
the land in the spring, it has a tendency
to make the tobacco plant spot, and it
the leaves may have ample size, they will
be lacking in body and in finish when
the tobacco is cured.
When the plants in the seed bed show
leaves as large as quarter of a dollar,
1t is time to begin to lay off the land
preparatory to fertilizing the same and
the making of hills. Usually burrows are
run both ways across the land three
and half feet apart with single-horse
plow, and at the points of intersection
of the rows fertilizers are dropped rang
ing in quantity from tablespoonful to
small handful. From $50 to 500 pounds
are used to the acre, the quantity being
regulated to some extent by the strength
of the soil and by the amount of stable
or other manures previously applied.
In the yellow tobacco regions of North
Carolina and in the seedleaf districts of
Pennsylvania as much as 700 to 300
pounds per acre are applied with most
fertilizer for tobacco contains the follow
ing:
Phosphoric acid, 8 per cent
ammonia, per cent
Potash, 10 per cent.
This is varied by a reduction OF the
amount of potash to 5 per cent, which,
while it lessons the cost, reduces it's val
ue as a fertilizer. 1t is not wise Or
economical policy to reduce the percent
age of potash, as this is by far the most
valuable ingredient that enters into a
fertilizer for tobacco.
ManuraI applications are rarely made
on freshly cleared land, except in the
yellow tobacco growing regions on yell
lowish or whitish soils where they are
found to be of the greater benefit in
giving vitality and finish to the tobacco
Nessler. Schloesing and other chemists
have demonstrated that the combustibili-
ty burning qualities of tobacco are
greatly impaired by the use of any fer
such as common salt muriate of potash,
kainit and many other fertilizers con-
tanning any form of chlorine should not
be employed in growing tobacco. Nitrate
of potash, though costly, is an excellent
fertilizer FOR tobacco, as are also cotton
seed meal, tankage. dried blood. sulphate
of ammonia and nitrate of soda.
Low wide, fiat hills should be made at
the crossing of the rows and the fertili-
ger should be well intermixed with the
dirt that goes to form the hills. Each
hill should be cut off and patted with
the hoe.
The use of fertilizers for the growing
of tobacco hastens forward the crop at
least two weeks or more. 1t also adds
