The Ballad Of The Lover.

The Ballad Of The Lover.
Now Who are you az heavens gate.
Who make no word nor pmyer,
But boldly stand with lifted hand
AS YOU would enter there2
What is the worth that lends you
strength
The unsheathed word to dareg
Now by what right OF service done,
Ere yet the life sands ran.
Speak then the deed that we may read
or yet we bless or ban.
Il aas a lover true quoth he.
When / was a living man.
Nay, but your hands are empty hands
Wherein no hands were pressed,
No triumph lies within your eyes
Nor burns upon your breast;
No stain of granted kisses shows
About your mouths unrest.
Now, aud YOU lie not, show the sign
That you were lover true.
No word spake be, but silently
He barred the wound wheYewith his
heart
Was broken through and through.

COURT ROOM IN UPROAR
Exciting and Bloody Incl
dent Follows Announce
ment of Jury's Verdict


Terre Haute. Ind, April 3-Found
guilty on a charge Of arson, Henry F.
Mcdonald. in the court room yester-
day, shot and killed William f. Dwy-
er, seriously hurt another man and
was himself seriously wounded The
shooting followed .the announcement of
the verdict of the jury before which
Mcdonald had been tried on charge
of dynamiting stores and church in
Sanford last year
When the jury reported its verdict
Mcdonald jumped to his feet and drew
revolver. He fired a Prosecuting
Attorney J. A. Cooper Jr.. but missed.
Mr.. Cooper lodged and Mcdonald di-
rected his fire at the officers seated
around the table
Without an opportunity to defend
himself Detective Dwyer was shot
down. Almost in an instant policemen
and deputy sheriffs in the court room
drew their revovers and opeE2d fire
on Mcdonald The convicted man fell
with half dozen bullets in his body.
He was taken to a hospital. He may
recover.
Harry V. Jones, superintendent of
.Dolice. was shot in the side. Deputy
Sheriff Ira Wnlton sustained a wound
in the chin. Sylvester Doyle, city
court bailiff was shot lie the leg. An
other shot struck bystander.
The shooting was the climax of q
sensational trial The police deart-
ment has been active in the case aud
several officers we're in the court room
to hear the verdict They hat expect
ed some demonstrations, but they were
not expecting such action
The events which eliminated SO
tragically had their origin in the dyna.
miting outrages that destroyed the
Methodist church and the general
stores of Shicl1le & Johnson and J. W.
Reese, of Sanford on the night OF FEB
ruary u. 1907. Henry Mcdonald and
James Scanlon were arrested the next
day charged with the crime. in
former trial the jury stood IL for con
viction.
William e. Dwyer. the dead man,
was chief Of the Terre Haute detec-
tive bureau. He was active in getting
evidence which convicted Mcdonald.

Judging from the size Of these new

carry parasols this summer
Looking into the affair from every
side we cannot trnthfully say that We
are opposed TO the peek-a-boo.
The old maid who makes no effort
to run down husband In leap year
Is the girl who has nude up her rhiHi
that she can live without one.
Possibly the temper displayed by a
red-headed woman has something to
dc with the color Of her hair.
Now we wish that fashion deci'eed
that every woman should wear a pink
sm-bonnet during the summer
When man breaks into politics he
can expect his enemies to tell all the
mean things they know about him
There is a fortune awaiting the
man who ipvents a head screen that
will keep the flies from a bald pate.
The man who refuses to quarrel
with his neighbors over their chick
ems will quarrel with them over poll
tics
Every married man should arrange
his affairs SO that he can take his va
cation during the housecleaning pc
Rod.
Many a husband has been forced
TO invest in an Easter bonnet the
funds he had laid aside for garden
tools.
Possibly the old maids refuse TO get
married in leap year because some
body will think they need meal
ticket.

of children out of school
We desire therefore to especially
call your attention TO this deficiency
in our law and to ask your honorable
body TO pass law that will enable as
to bond districts in the new counties
at once. We find that there is so
much confusion and uncertainty in re-
gard to the law that il is hard to car

building up a school system in the new
counties. We wish to say to your
honorable body that after careful ex-
animation and years of experience
with some OF us We think that the
school laws of Oklahoma Territory i'm
force when statehood came are good
laws and that Il will be hard for You
TO improve on the general provisions of
these laws. We think that Oklahoula
Territory had as good a system Of
school laws as any section in the
American Union We therefore re-
spectfully suggest and petition that TO
remove all uncertainty as 10 whether
these laws are in force and effect in
the state Of Oklahoma and as to what
laws are inapplicable that you reenact
all OF the public school laws Of the ter
ritory of Oklahoma making only such

The following is the report OF the
legislative committee adopted at the
meeting of the Public School Officers
association a. their meeting here
Wednesday:
To the Honotabie Legislature
Gentlemen: We, the Public School
Officers association, duly organized
and in convention assembled repre-
senting the entire state of Oklahoma
beg leave TO memorabilia aud petition
your honorable body for the immediate
enactment of code OF workable school
laws. We are now IN state OF un-
certainty and confusion in regard to
the law, and Il Is hard TO ascertain
what the law Is on many vital matters
that Immediately concern the welfare
OF our schools. In tho organization Of
our new counties we have met many
questions and find that the Jaws seem
TO be inapplcaDle in many cases and
In some instances we find no law at
all covering conditions that arise. We
ought TO build more than one thousand
school houses in time and have them
ready for the opening of the schools
In September: the only way these
houses can be built is by bonding the
districts and selling the bonds for the
erection Of school houses as has been
done in Oklahoma Territory for sew
eral years, but we find that the law IS
insufficient and Il viii be impossible
for us 70 bond our districts under the
present law In time 10 build school
houses for our fan term. This condi-
tion viii cause Us % fan In opening
schools next September IN hundreds

achievements of the Oklahoma School

6. We Congratulate the uew eoun-
ties for their progress in organizing
their schools.
Z. 10 is the sense OF this body that
the school laws OF Oklahoma are in
the main good and we urge that in
order to avoid confusion and expedite
matters that the legislature adoDt
these laws with few necessary
amendments to the same.
s. We thank superintendent T. D..
Cameron for his splendid work and
leadership and commend his advice and
counsel to the legislature.
.. We urge law for uniform Ger.
tifioation of teachers.
10 We urge upon the honorable
legislature of Oklahoma that they take
up school legislation at the earliest
possible moment because no laws are
of so great moment as those pertain
ing to the education of the Oklahoma
child

tition for immediate action be regard-
ed by the legislature as particular
and separate memorial.

Our kind president has at last been

Stewart. The Colonel has served forty
one years In the service Of his country,
and is considered the best horseman
in the wide world In the forty-one
years OF service he has never been
reprlmanded by but one officer, and
that was Colonel ETorsedoc Wood, who,
as a volunteer soldier. declared Stew
ar, was oiiicious and incapable OF un-
ierstanding his fellow beings. In ef-
forts to have the colonel discharged
the present administration has gone to
great lengths, even bounding the
colonel and seeking TO have other Of
icers quarnel with him. In spite Of
his the colonel has maintained his
position, and at no period shown
other but proper duty and respect for
commander and country Therefore
the order has gone for him to take
command of an Arizona fortress, nine
~ miles from railroad. and given up
by the authorities Of the war depart
ment long before General Crook cap
tured Geronimo in the war of the
Eighties. He win be allowed a gar
rison Of seven men. and gets his sup
plies each quarter mail likewise. The
colonel has announced that he Will
go, as he has but -four more years to
serve before retiring, and thinks he

zona fort as by degrees from the war
