WOLVES WILL SUFFER
Hundreds of Sportsmen Take Part in
Big Hunt.


LAWTON, Okla, Nov. 27.-Okla-
homa's big pasture" where Presi-
dent Roosevelt took part in a famous
hunt in the spring of 1905, will be
the scene tomorrow of what will
probably be one of the greatest wolf
chases ever held in the Southwest.
Special excursions are expected to
take hundreds of sportsmen to the vi
cinity of Eschiti, where the hunt will
be held. Lasso ropes and bare hands
are to be the only weapons allowed
in dispatching the animals. although
many dogs will be on hand to take
care of any wolves that might other
wise escape. John Alternately, who
led the Roosevelt hunt in the big
pasture" and who was appointed a
United States marshal by the admir-
ing president because of the skill he
displayed in Catching 'em alive" IL
expected to participate in the chase.
The hunters will divide themselves
into groups and drive over the prai-
ries, which are only slowly being
fenced OFF by settlers. Gradually
coming together at common center.
the advancing squads will drive the
fleeing wolves before them. Then.
when corral has been formed, the
doughty Nimrods will begin the work
of Staying the animals with the moose
or bare hands, while hounds will be
kept in reserve to give chase to any
that escape the human Gordon.

PETTIBONE CASE
CALLED TODAY
Claim lie Was a COnspirator in
Steunenberg Murder

BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 27.-The work
of securing a jury for the trial of
George A. Pettibone, charged with
completely in the assassination of
Ex-Governor Steunenberg, began
in the district court here this morn
ing. Judge Wood announced from
the bench today that there would be
no further delay. Even If Clarence
barrow and James H. Hawley, chief
counsel for defense and state, do not
arrive from Rathdrum today the ex-
animation of talesmen will proceed.
1t was announced this morning by
Judge Wood that the jury box would
be filled this afternoon by members
of the regular panel, but it was
agreed between attorneys that no
objection would be raised to post
poning this action until tomorrow,
and the court acted on their sugges-
ton. The regular venire consists of
35 names, and when these are dis
posed of at least 100 will be ordered.
Attorneys on both sides agree that
it will require longer time to Sc
cure jury in this case than in the
Haywood trial, when nearly a month
was consumed in this preliminary
work.
Alleged Crime.
Pettibone was indicted with Will
liam D. Haywood, secretary; Charles
H. Meyer, president, and Jack Simp-
kins, member of the executive board
of the Western Federation of Miners,
in March, 1906, for the murder of
Ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg at
Caldwell, Idaho, December so, 1905.
He was arrested at Denver at the
same time as Meyer and Haywood,
and brought to Idaho, following the
confession of Harry Orchard, in
which he admitted killing Steunen-
berg with a dynamite bomb, and
charged that he had been hired to
commit the crime by the federation
officials. Pettibone has no official
connection with the federation, but
has been an honorary member since
his arrest. 1t is charged he was the
go-between between the so-called
inner circle" and their hired assas-
sins.
After the acquittal of Haywood.
application for bond was made for
Meyer and Pettibone. The state re-
fused to consent to Petitioners re-
lease, but Meyer was allowed bail in
the sum of $4,000. The trial of
Pettibone was set for October /. but
was continued several times because
of the defendants illness.

but insists that he is able to stand
trial. With two exceptions the same
attorneys will be engaged in the Pet

PRIDE MTTIGATED.

In spite of the fact that the people of this free and independent country occasionally feel obliged to feel afraid of Mir. Rockefeller's big fortune, they take a moderate pride in the notion that he Is the richest man that is or has been. They want the list of rich men to be headed by United States man. But perhaps they have got to abandon that notion and the pride that springs from It. A learned man, Professor John H. Scott of North western University, has been figuring on the wealth of Croesus, and he makes it pretty plain that Croesus was the richest man, if we can judge by what he gave away. It appears that to the temple and people at Del phi Croesus presented a pyramid of IF bricks surmounted by a lion, each brick being IS inches long, nine inch es wide and three inches thick. The four top bricks were of pure gold and weighed over 200 pounds each. The other 113 bricks were three parts sil- yer to seven gold. The Hon on the pyramid was of pure gold and weigh ed 1,SO0 pounds. This pyramid, Prof. Scott figures, was worth $4,000, 900 in our money. He added a number of other gifts to his pyramid present, as great gold bowl worth a million;
 S60 adorned bowls, each of solid gold
 and weighing a pound; SIP in gold for every man in the city of Delphi; and
 5000 head of different animals for sacrifice. Professor Scott says that the total of his gifts at Delphi would ap- proximate $1OO,OOO,O0O in our money,

Washington from the negro's point of view. It Is no longer to be doubted that more humane consideration of the black man as creature of human rights on the part of the early settlers and their immediate posterity would have produced in a former generation men of the Washington type with all that that implies for the dignity of the race. In stupid antipathy for a strange race with strange tradi- tions, this government would have req son to ask for forgiveness if govern ments per Sc had conscience. The State of Oklahama has merited a unique distinction among the States of the Union in that 1t has taken for one of its representatives in the upper chamber of congress a descendant of the original American family so far as history tells us. When he makes the eagle scream 1t will be with all of the assurance of knowing the bird in his native lair. Good luck to Senator Owen.

The old-FashIoped Mother.

(The Troy (Kansas) Chief)
 Thank God, some of us have, and others have had, an old-fashioned mother. Not woman of the period, enameled and painted, with her great chizon, her curls and hustle; whose white, jeweled hands never have felt the clasp of baby fingers; but dear old-fashioned, sweet-voiced mother, with eyes i'll which the love light shone, and brown hair threaded with silver, lying smooth hands, worn with toil, gently guided our tottering steps in childhood, and smoothed our pillow in sickness even reaching out to us in yearning tender- ness, when her sweet spirit was bap~ tlzed in the pearly spray Of the riVer. Blessed is the memory of an old-fash- toned mother, 1t floats to us now, like the beautiful perfume of some wood land blossoms The music of other voices may be lost but the entrancing memory of hers will echo in our souls forever. Other faces will fade away and be forgotten, but hers will shine on until the light from Heavens portals shall glorify our own. When in the fitful pauses of busy life our feet wander back to the old homestead, and crossing the well-worn threshold, stand once more in the low, quaint room, as hallowed by her presence, how the feeling of childish innocence and dependence comes over us and we kneel in the molten sunshine streaming through the western window-just where, long years ago, we knelt by our mothers knee, lisplng Our Father. How many times when the tempter lured us on has the memory of those sacred hours with mothers words, her faith and prayers, saved us from sin Years have piled great drifts over be- tween her and us, but they have not hidden from our sight the glory of he1 pure, unselfsh love.

4 GREATER NEW HAVEN.

Attention has been directed by the Journal and Courier to the movement not yet organized but soon sure to be organized to make the borough of Westville a ward of New Haven, with all the political rights which would go with such political connection The movement has come about as a conse- quence of the realization on the part of the more watchful. citizens of the borough that complete consolidation of the two political bodies would ben eft the general results where beth are concerned.
 We have discussed at length the fu- ture relationship of New Haven and West Haven from the point of view of the logical trend of events as they affect two peoples which are one except in their political organization. To off, set the movement undertaken for the annexation of the borough of West Haven residents there introduced a scheme to make city of the town of Orange and succeeded in winning over the General Assembly to their view The people have since rejected 1t and now there comes up through It's own buoyancy the old question of annexa- ton again. It is not an active agitation but 1t Is alive
 We shall confidently look within the next five or ten years for a greater New Haven, made up of New Haven as it Is to-day of the borough of West Haven and the borough of Westvllle. It is inevitable.

Insurance Made Easy.

(The Springfield Republican,
 Life insurance companies and policy holders also will be interested in a de- cision just rendered by the appellate division of the New York Supreme Court to the effect that if a company is proved guilty of fraud or misrepre- sentatlon in any particular in or in se- curing a contract for insurance the policyholder can recover all premiums paid by him together with interest thereon. The actual case on which this judgment was given makes 1t even more terrifying to the company mana gers than appears. The plaintiffs in surance had been carried by the com pany for fourteen years; yet on his ability at this late day to show that a false statement of the company's fin- ancial standing had been made to him at the beginning he can recover all his premiums with interest. So for fourteen years he had his insurance for nothir g if he had died in that time the nenehciaries of the policy would have coltected tne money. The case is yet to be passed upon by the Court of App peals.

ried they must first get from the coun- ty clerk a blank certificate of mar riage, and this must be filled and filed with the local registrar of vital sta tistics within ten days after the mar riage If this be not done fine of s1O0 will be imposed upon the offending couple.
 The argument for this law is that marriage is intended by the law to be a matter of notoriety. It is important to the community to know who Is married and who is single, and many of the regulations presented are for the express purpose of diffusing the knowledge as widely as may be. Hence, any arrangement to conceal a marriage is contrary to public policy. Which looks entirely reasonable. Of course people can't be prevented from being foolishly married, but some thing can be done to prevent them from being secretly married.

SOME EMINENT COUNSEL.

In the multitude of counsellors there is safety. One eminent scientist says, chew your food thoroughly. An other says, bolt 1t. One says, eat no meat Another says, eat all the meat you can pay for or get trusted for, One says, starve yourself. Another says, eat all you can. And now aris- eth Sir James, -Crichton- Browne, who is as "eminent" as any of the counsel lors, and perhaps as sensible. Any how, his counsel is easy and pleasant 10 follow. He say, eat what you want, all you want, when you want it, and as you want it. So will you be healthy, happy and wise, if not in all cases wealthy.
 Doubtless a great many people would be better and feel peter if they didn't have the notion that they must be everlastingly and peskily particular about their eating. And perhaps the eminent Sir James Crichton- Browne's advice is as good for most people as the advice of the other 'eminents" is.
