Is Argued Before Judge
Gill in Court at
TahIequah


One OF the most important cases
that has come up IN the courts Of the
territory was argued late last week
before Judge Gill at Tahlequah, VIII
liam Phillips, charged with murder
and convicted in October, 1902, and
sentenced to imprisonment for
life in the penitcntiary at Fort
Leayenworth and recently remanded
here by Judge Pollock Of the United
States circuit court in d proceeding 10
habeas corpus was before the court up
on motion Of the government to va
cate the former sentence imposed and
resentence the prisoner In accordance
with the law. 1t is admitted that
the former sentence is void.
Attorney Charles B. Rogers OF VI
nita for Phillips and resisted the gov
ernments, motion. Mr.. Rogers con-
tended that the court now has no
power to impose a new sentence, and
certainly not the powe to impose
sentence of greater severity, as would
have to be done in order TO comply
with the statutes.
The words tat hard labor'A were
omitted from the sentence as original
Ily pronounced. Phillips has served
over four years of the sentence upoI
which he w& committed. Attorney
Rogers contended that after cne sen
tence has been executed the court hal
no power to impose new and greatel
penalty.
O. Il, Rider appeared for the govern
ment and both sides argued the mo
tion at great length. The point a

James Egan Of SedaIia

The body Of a. man supposed 90 pe
James Egan Of Sedalia, Mo-, was found
alongside the Katy track about two
miles north OF town this morning by
the section gang Of the railroad. The
body was taken In charge by the Katy
people, and is being held awaiting
word from Sedalia.
The man hardly looked like atramp.
He wore working clothes and gloves,
but the only articles In his pockets
were a pocket knife and a purchase
ticket from a Sadalia store, made out
to James Egan. He was large mar,
with sandy complexion, and middle
aged. Five OF his FRONT teeth were
gold-flled
Marshal w. Fl. Darrougll was noti-
fed, and investigated the case, but
could find no suspicious circumstances.
The body was not bruised or cut,
the only mark being brulse on the
side Of the head Apparently the
man fell from moving train. Mar

might have been a brakeman, but his
absence would have been noticed be-
fore this.

The tariff and the cron,.

One business interest of his own
which the American farmer is going
to look sharply after in next years
politics is the tariff robbery which
takes from him with both hands and
gives him nothing In return.
The farmer knows that the prosper
ity Of the last ten years has not been
caused by the Dingley tariff, but that
1t has had it's origin mainly in the
good crops he has made and in his own
success In obtaining good prices for
them.
Even Wall street knows that year
OF abundant crops is a good year for
the railroads, and bids on railroad Sc
curities accordingly. Formerly such
years Of abundant yields were some
times better for the railroads than for
the farmers, speculative operators TAX
Ing advantage of the abundance 10 get
the crops at very low prices.
But during the last ten years the
farmer has found ways Of getting near
~ full value for his produce, thereby
greatly benefting the country With
full pockets he is a large buyer as
well as a seller. He stimulates the
merchant and the manufacturer He
makes freight for the roads to haul to
the farm as well as away from it.

farmer himself. Nobody is learning to
Understand better than he that this
tariff would have brought disaster to
the country but for the prosperity
which the agricultural interests drew
from other sources.

THE HUMBLE NOTION COUNTER.
Its Steady Business Feeds the More
Attractive Departments.

It's Steady Business Feeds the More
Attractive Departments.
Writing on the Department Store
at Close Range" in the Everybody's
Hartley Davis says:
THE arrangement of departments
is of such importance that it may
mean the difference between success
and failure. Henry Siegel, who has
started and developed some of the
biggest department stores of the
country, has devoted years of thought
and experiment to this matter and he
always decides personally where the
apartments shall be placed and what
space they shall occupy. In other
stores the arrangement of depart
ments is determined by many confer.
ences The general rule is simple.
Articles that come under the head OF
Injuries, like jewelry, are ALWAYS
pushed to the fore, where they VII
be the first things to attract attention
when people enter the store and the
last things to catch their eyes when
leaving. Departments like those de.
voted to cloaks and suits and millin.
cry are on the upper floors, where
they can have plenty of space and
customers can be served comfortably
without crowding.
"Now the notion counter can sell
articles at or below cost because II
feeds the more attractive depart
ments. No other department draws
such a steady stream of people into
the store, without advertising. This
is because it sells the particular ar
ticles that women continuously need
day in and day out, and good no
tion section, cleverly placed at the
rear, will thus keep busy several de
partments that might otherwise strug.
gle for existence. The under-cost
prices, it should be said, apply only
to samples; by adding to the depart,
ment novelties, on which there is a
very considerable profit, the whole
can be made TO show fair return
on the business done.
