Officials of Oklahoma, hearing of the compromise between Lew is Rhoton, former prosecuting att torney, and the Waters-Pierce Oil Co.,, by which S10,000 was paid into the state treasury to stop the prosecutions for viola lations of the antitrust laws of the state, have written 10 offic- ials here to see how 1t was done, the laws of Oklahoma being the same as those of Arkansas. The word went back to Oklahoma that no evidence was taken in the case, and the present prosecuting attorney, Roy D. Campbell knew nothing of the case, he simply being in office when the compro- mise was made and having no hand in it, so Oklahoma will have to fight the battle out alone.

SkAGCS HEARD
 FROM AGAIN
He Claims To Be the Liv- ing Son of Jesus
 C h r 1 S t.

Little Rock, Sept. II. Elijah Skaggs, the self styled prophet, has been granted a new trial, the state confessing error. and t h e announcement will be mad in the Supreme court when 1t meets Monday. Skaggs is religious fanatic who was sentenced to SCI ve 19 years in the state pen- itentiary for an assault upon Mrs. Taylor some months ago. The man went to Fort Smith from Texas, followed by some of his sect, claiming to De the living son of Christ. A few days after he arrived in Fort Smith, Mrs. Taylor caused his arrest, saying he has criminally assault ed her in the woods near Fort Smith. When the case came up for trial, the woman repudiated her charges, and Skaggs claimed 1t was conspiracy between he and Mrs. Taylor by which he was to be hanged and have an opportunity to show the people that he would arise from the dead on a certain day, but find ing out the people were not go- ing to hang him, decided to lay bare the plot. The majority of the jury which tried him was in favor of hanging him, and the 19 years imprisonment was a com promise. While confined in the Fort Smith jail, Skaggs endeav- bring to make his bluff good, crawled upon the cage of the county jail, tied some rags about his neck and attempted to crawl down so as to remain suspended and have the jailer find him in this condition, but the other prisoners wanted more reality to the farce; and when Skag2s went to climb down he was giv- en a shove which percipitated him to the cement floor and broke a jaw. Attorneys for Skaggs then procured bond while the case Was pending in the high CT court, and Skaggs went to Chicago, where he was followed by a few of the faithful, and continued his teachings. The new trial was granted because Judge Daniel left the court room while the trial was in progress, without suspending the taking of testimony.

Engineer Jones Bruised.

Montevideo Advance: A wreck oc-
Cured at Aberdeen last Monday
night. 1t seems that a train of sever
81 cars of wheat had backed in on the
side track at that place. and the
switch was left open. Along came the
passenger and went in on the same
track: The engineer of the passenger,
Paul Jones, and his fireman, Clayton
Mcdonald, jumped when they saw a
collision was unavoidable. Engin-
eer Jones received some bruises, but
we learn Mcdonald escaped. The
tender OF the passenger went into the
cab demolishing it, and the mail car
was forced up on the tender, while the
windows of the coaches were shatter-
&c somewhat. 1t is reported that the
head brakeman on the freight had a
leg broken. Had the crew of the
passenger stayed on the engine, they
would probably have been killed.
While the passengers were somewhat
shook up, no one was hurt.

comes, If he is IN honest, hard working man who tries tt do his duty
toward his neighbor and toward the country, he a rest assured that
he will have in Mr.. Taft the most upright of representatives and the

Mr. Taft stands against privileges and he stands pre-eminently for

Workingmen and producers generally
should not delude themselves with the
belief that, If Mr.. Bryan shall be elect

the tariff will present no menace to the
country. Mr.. Bryan is the professed
enemy Of the tariff system. He would
impose duties, II at all, for revenue
purposes only. On articles competing
goods he would have no duty at all.
Any apparent deficit In import duties
arising from revised schedules he esti-

or free trade basis necessarily by s
