Senator Owen a Man of Strong
Personality.

Washington, Feb. FL Although
Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma
is one-eighth Cherokee Indian. he is
mild hammered, suave and genial. You
would never suspect his Indian blood.
The only time he ever lets out a
well developed, straightforward
shoulder war whoop is when he thinks
the senate is jeopardizing the rights
of the red man. He can make a cork

Owen is worth nearly a million. He

MAN PAID S1.1OO FOR
PRETTY YOUNG WIFE.
JuanoWtck Now Charges Her ReIa-
tiVes Have AIienated Her
Affections.

Laporte, Ind, March 21.-An unus-
ual story is unfolded in two suits filed
for Steve Juanowitch, who claims
John Stevens, his father-in-law, and
members of the latter's family alien
ated the affections of his wife, Joan
Stevens Juanowitch, whom he married
in Chicago January %, 1907. He
wants $4,000 damages.
In a second complaint Juanowitch
asks for the return of S1,100 which he
claims he paid Stevens for his pref
ty eighteen-year-old daughter
According to Stevens story, after
his wife left him and returned to her
fathers home Stevens offered to re-
store the daughter to her husband if
the latter would pay an additional
$500. This Juanowitch refused to do.
All parties involved are gypsies,
but Juanowitch and Stevens belong to
different tribes. According to Juano-
witch. it is the custom among these
gypsies to sell women to the highest
bidders. The prettier the women the
more they bring. He says Stevens
has $4,000 in the camp safe, derived
from the sale of women in his tribe.

TAPPING IMPOSSIBLE

HAS MANY ADVANTAGES.

New York, March 21.-Wire tapping
will be made an impOssibility by the
adoption of rapid automatic telegraphy
reaching a speed of 1000 words a min
ute. This is one Of the minor results
from the Introduction of the Delany
system by the new telegraph company,
the TelepOst
All telepost messages by this sys-
tenn are sent backwards and automatic
cally reversed at the receiver. This
alone will puzzle a wire Taper, even
if he could read as rapidly as 900
words a minute. This is, Of course an
impOssibility, except for the mechan-
ism that records the electric signals
on sensitized moving tapes.
Another advantage possessed by the
automatic telepOst apparatus is that it
can handle code messages as readily
as ordinary messages. This has just
been practically demonstrated by
government official. who. as a test,
had the Telepost company transmit an
intricate code message over the arti-
fetal circuit equal to 500 miles Of wire,
installed at its New York offices. The
result showed that the most meaning

received without the slightest difficult

Wisconsin. One phase of their work
has been driving the railroads out of
politics and sending the little railroad
politicians scurryiug into private life.
AS matter of course. this has not en-
deared them to the corporations. In
deed, from that quarter they are about
the best hated men in the United
States. Their course has made them
short on passes and paid puffs. but has
kept them long on the affections Of the
people.
Cummins has gone almost as far as
La Toilette in attacking the railroads
and has gone further in opposing the
stand pat attitude on the tariff.
So persistent did he grow in fighting
this fetch that tariff revision came to
be known as 1.-THE Iowa idea" The
specific proposition referred to by this
phase is that American made goods
should be bought as>cheaply at home
as abroad. In other words, If watch
manufactured in this country is sold
for $40 in Europe it is not fair to
charge the dear people at home $50 for
identically the same watch. Americans
are just as good as foreigners. At

1t is one of the anomalies of u strik-

prohibition Cummins is considered the
women's candidate. They flock to hear

claim him their beau ideal of what a
public man should be. This may be
due to the fact that he is 4 very hand

gray hair and mustache. possessing all

Mr.. .POWELL'S EXPERIENCE
Striking Illustration of the Wonder
Attaching to Famous Loop on
the c., C. & o. Railway.

Referring to the wonderful loop which
the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio rail-
way makes in crossing the Blue Ridge
in North Carolina, the Charlotte OBJ
server tells the following interesting
story involving an experience of Mr.. J.
Norment Powell, general counsel for
that road:
Mr.. j. Norment Powell, general coun-
sci of the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio
road, tells story that would seem in
credible to those who are not familiar
with the great loop on that road. On
his trip the first time over the road, in
a regular passenger train, he sat on the
rear platform. Suddenly his hat blew
off. The conductor against his protest
stopped the train and sent the flagman
back for the hat To the surprise Of
MIR. Powell, the conductor pulled the
cord and starded the train.
You surely are not going to leave
your tiagman," said Mr. Powell.
ooh, yes, replied the conductor; "ht
will overtake us"
The train was soon going at thirty
miles an hour, but in twenty minute,
stopped and the fiagman got aboard
He had walked down steep patti
about six hundred feet and got aboarC
the train he had left nine miles back
and, as the conductor had promised
oVertaken the train and waited fully
ten minutes for ii besides.
People who have observed this re
markable loop can easily believe Mr.
Powell's story. AT the point where h
lost his hat one can toss a rock to tn
track below, yet it is nine miles arounC

CITIZENS NEED A REVIVAL
Rev. J. ]. Robinette Urges That al
His Brother Workers Join in
Helping RELIGIOUS Cause

To the Pastors and Christian People
of the. various Churches of the City;
Fellow Laborers in the Masters Work
The state, of religion in our COM
munity is not what it should be. Many
of the people are Indifferent and care
less in their religious canes; they are
absorbed in their business affairs; they
seem not to realize the importance of
the spiritual life. In the community
there are many things to detract atten-
ton from the church and its work.
While this is true there are but few
among us who do not desire the pros
perity and spiritual growth Of the
Cause of God. Our churches are good
and will compare favorably with those
of any city of the size of ours. The
people have put their money into them
and take just pride in them. But
Notwithstanding this it must be evil
dent to every thoughtful Christian in
the city that we sorelv need genuine
New Testament Holy Ghost revival of
religion. How to promote it is the
practical question confronting us.
Meetings are now being held in eth
Methodist Episcopal Church with a
good measure Of interest; some souls
have been saved, but in order to have
the best results to the whole community
we propose that we all come together
in union meeting. If the Methodist
church is not thought to be the best
place we are willing to go to any other
church. Ifitis, it will be at the service
of the people. Many good people of
the various churches think that such a
revival as we need can come only as
the result of a united effort on the part
of all the people of God. We, there
fore cordially invite all the pastors with
their respective congregations to join
us in this work and share in its bless
ings. Yours sincerely,
J. j. ROBINETTE,
Pastor First M. +. Church.
