BECAUSE DOWN IN GOVERNOR
HASKEll'S STATE THEY
HAVE A DRY LAW THAT'S As
WET AS THE WHISKY ANY
BODY CAN ANNEX WITH
EASE.

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Oct. 19.-In
Oklahoma they have the kind of
prohibition that does not prohibit.
In all the larger towns and cities
beer and whisky are sold with little
concealment.
'Bootlegging" and "jointing" is
what they call the Illicit vending of
liquor here; and everywhere are
bootleggers and joints. They wear
all sorts of DISCUSSES, from an open
bar supposedly for the sale of what
they call near BEER to private
houses where the patron is admit
ed after ringing bell, and where
an introduction is necessary.
To stranger the most notorious
Bookkeeping place in the state is the
Turner hotel In Muskogee, owned
by company in which Gov.
Charles N. Haskell has been large
stakeholder. The fact of the gov
errors interest has contributed to
its notoriety more than the mere
fact that beer has been served to
guests in pals of ice, after the fash
ion of champagne.
Governor Haskell does not like to
hear about the sale of beer and
whisky in Oklahoma. When the
subject was mentioned to him by
your correspondent he Immediately
served notice that any communica-
tons on this topic would not only
be regarded as states evidence, but
that the person making them would
be detained as witness before the
Logan county court.
Naturally the topic was not
pressed
Oklahoma has state dispensary
and state enforcement commits
sion; but they are both jokes. The
dispensary Is supposed to be for
the purpose of selling beer and
whisky on physicians prescrip-
ton. But the quite unrestricted
sale of drinks by the contrabandists
leaves no room for the dispensary
to do business. In one city the dis
pensary agents, | was told, tried to
stimulate trade by offering a case
of beer and gallon Of whisky a
day to properly qualified patrons;
but even this did not make things
look up,
In Oklahoma City 1t is a signiti-
cant fact that 200 licenses have
been issued by the federal authori-
ties for the handling of spirituous
liquors. This is city where there
were but 60 saloons in the license
days. The average bootlegger is
willing to take a chance on violat-
ing the town or state laws; but he
does not want the United States
government internal revenue
agents on HIS trail, so he takes out
n government license and then
keeps 1t under cover.
According to the statistics of the
police court. there were actually

BOYS FOUND DEAD.
Hawthorn Boys Eat Wild Roots in the
Woods-TWo Die

The startling information was re-
ceived here Wednesday evening that
two little boys, sons of Jacob and Will
liam Carver, OF near Hawthorn, had
died suddenly from the effects of poison
ing
AS near as we can learn, three little
fellows, two brothers and the other
cousin, left their home in the little
hamlet called Georgeville, near Haw-
thorn, about dinner time on Wednesday
to pick dandelions, or greens" Two
of the boys were aged nine years and
one seven. They were discovered about
two in the afternoon and were taken to
the home of Mr.. Bowser nearby. The
physician who was summoned found
that two of the little fellows were dead
when he arrived. Medical attention
was given the other child and DR.. Hep
ler made the statement Wednesday
night that he had strong hopes of say
ing his life.
1t was said that the children thought
they had found patch" OF wild par
snips, and being hungry, ate of them.
DR.. Hepler states that in his opinion it
was not wild parsnips that caused their
death, but he was unable to suggest any
plant that might be of sufficiently
poisonous nature to cause death in so
short time, and the cause of their
death is shrouded in mystery. New
