Tragedy at Decorah.

West Decorah was the scene of an
attempted murder and suicide yester-
day morning. Harry Crawford, an old
resident of Winnesheik county and
aged about 70 years, fired three shots
at a widow, a Mrs. Ottawa, at her
home. Two of the shots took effect,
one in the back and the other in the
arm, but up to this morning the wo-
man was still alive. Crawford turned
his revolver upon himself, the bullet
entering his head just back of the right
ear and causing instant death. Craw-
ford parted from his wife, who is sis
ter of Alex. Mcintosh of Cresco, few
years ago, and was to have been mar
ried the day of the tragedy to the wo-
man he shot. As Crawford was a man
of considerable property and with a
very violent disposition, it is supposed
that the shooting was the result of 9
quarrel over matters pertaining to a
settlement of property interests in the
event of their marriage. Mrs. Alex.
Mcintosh who is also sister OF Craw-
ford went down to Decorah last even.

big political meeting in Anadarko
Tvesday night, but the rain in
terferred with the plans of the

aided in the matter by the late

for the occasion and waited un.

One of the most fascinating lingerie
hats of the season is the Charlotte
Corday, which is made of embroidered
net, or If economy is to be practiced it
may be made with almost equally good
effect of point d'esprit.
In the illustration one sees very
charming design for the use of this
material. The crown, which is quite
high, has full top, and the sides are
covered by two plated ruffies of the
point d'esprit or embroidered net,
which is put on double. These ruff
fes stand up about the crown and COM
pletely hide the top. The brim is also
made of ruffies of the diaphanous ma
terial. The under ruffie, which begins
at the crown of the hat, is very wide
and extends for some distance beyond
the other ruffies. These are two shall
lower rufiies, laid one above the other

Coruays. Many girls follow the plan
which was found practical with the
lingerie hats in former seasons of hav-
ing different adjustable trimming to
match the different gowns with which
such hat would be suitable. Very
soft Louisine ribbon is most attrac-
tive for trimming these hats, and an
arrangement of loops can be made
which will be easily adjustable by the
use Of very few stitches or even
pins. When a hat is to be worn with
a number of gowns of different colors
and to have different trimming 1t will
be found that one of net or lace which
is slightly of the white will be more
satisfactory. A pure white hat de-
liciously pretty, with a costume of the
same shade or with light costumes in
which there is great deal of white Is
often at fault If even the shade Of
white in the costume varies from its
own, an" with other colors than white,
unless hite be mingled freely with
them, an all white hat is apt to look
either too startling or too insipid.
Light ecru, delicate coffee tints and
cream add usually much richer note
to the costume. as well as being more
harmonious with a variety OF colors.
The fine net hats of this sort when
trimmed with handsome ribbon and
flowers are considered dressy enough
for any summer function. Large hats
are usually more becoming than small
ones, especially to young girls, but
large and small hats are equally

Indiana Junior Senator
Answered by Governor Haskell
Hoosier Young Man Shown Thing or Two
By Oklahoma's Chief Executive

OubhIAOy Ohidft wv ~A'
ator Beveredge of Indiana, who
last week toured Oklahoma on a
special train as a guest Of the
Oklahoma state republican COM
mittee. propouaded several non.
sensical questions to Governor
Haskell at Muskogee, the follow
ing being those reported in the
Guthrie Capital and Oklahoma
City Times, to which is added re-
plies as given by Gov, Haskell:
"Senator Beveredge: In your
speech at Muskogee a few days
ago, notice you ask me eight
questions. l give your questions
below, with my answer following
each question.
l truly sympathize with you
for the spectacular trip you made
throughout the state of Okla
homa, by showing a complete
ignorance Of conditions in our
state. You have my sympathy
for having been imposed upon
by bunch of carpet bag graft.
ers, who call themselves the
"Republican State Committee"
The facts are that thousands of
honest republicans are just as
much disgusted with that COM
mittee as any democrat could be.
The coal trust, the gas trust,
and the railroad attorneys are
represented by the Republican
State committee, but the honest
rank and file If republicanism
has no voice in the committees
doings.
QUESTIONS BY BEvEREDGE; AN
SwERS BY HASKELL
First Question HAS any
money in the bank guaranty fund
of Oklahoma been used to pur'
chase whiskey out Of the state
dispensary9
Answer MOT single penny.
Second Question: - At any
time during the last two months
have there been any dispensary
or whiskey warrants in the state
guaranty fund instead of cash
taken out?
Answer There is no such
thing as dispensary warrant
Three fourths of the guaranty
fund is usually kept invested in
six per cent state warrants. An
arrangement being made with
large banks to Immediately cash
these warrants il the guaranty
fund requires more cash tn n is
kept on hand. 1t is in this way
that the guaranty fund yields
more than enough interest to pay
all the expenses of administering
the affairs of the state banking
board.
Third question will the
state administration permit ar
inspection of the books of the
state guaranty bank fund, snc
the dispenssry system, together
with a public examination of the
bank officials with whom the
state guaranty fund is deposited
Answer:-Yes sir, any homes
citizen, applying at the Cover
nor's office will be assured of Ar
opportunity to make the exami'
nation you mention, or any othel
examination of any department
of state government. This hal
always been permitted. The

privilege has always been open
to everybody, except finally the
excluded person, for the reason
named in answer No. 3.
Fifth Question viii tie Ok
lahoma state administration per-
NIT public investigation of the
costs of collecting the school land
rental fund, and il such an in
vestigation should show that it
costs the people Of Oklahoma
under the present administration
from two to three times as mu h
to collect this fund as it cost the
people under a territory, why
does it cost more, and who is
getting the money?
Answer:-As to inspection, |
make the same answer as to
question No. 3. As to increased
cost of collecting rental funds,
your implied statement is a false
hood. While the expenses of
this department are about fifteen
per cent more than it was under
territorial government, there are
two reasonssfor it: One is THAI
we have thirty per cent more
land to look after. The other
reason is that we had an accu-
mutation of S27S,000 of rental
, notes, running back Tor years in
default, being the notes of pre-
cinct politicainss were not
collected because they were
political friends of territorial
grafters. We have collected out
Iof this bunch of old notes,
marked as worthless" by the
territorial officers the sum total
of $189,000 already. Nobody
gets a cent of money out of any
public treasury, school land fund
or otherwise, except for salary
or expenses legitimately earned.
Senator Beveredge, you may be
thinking of Judge Burford's
practice as Chief Justice of the
Oklahoma territory court, who
gave his infant son three hun.
dred dollars year for seven
successive years for assisting to
edit the Supreme Court reports,
or may be you are thinking of
the Guthrie State Capital charg.
ing the territory forty five cents
a bottle for ten cent bottles of
mucilage, or any one of thou
sand other gratis on the territorial
treasury, which was the practice
before statehood began.
Sixth Question:-If they will
not permit such an inspection
and examination of these books
and accounts, ought not the
people Of Oklahoma, regardless
of party, compel them to permit
it! And can they compel it any
other way, except by turning out
of power the administration
which refuses such inspection,
and putting in an administration
that will open the books?
Answer:-This is no question
at all, because it's contents are
exactly the reverse of what Sen
ator Beveredge assumes them tc
be. The records are now oper
and always have been, and
always will be under the p reser
administration, and the insinu
alton was known by Senator Bev
eredge to be false when he made
, it.
Seventh Question Would il
not be good thing for Oklaho'
! ma to open the books? Is any
democrat more interested in the
am mbitions of Governor Haskell
than he is in knowing the con.
/. ditions OF the state money, which
, he is taxed to raise?
Answer:--All good people are
! interested in having the books
I of Oklahoma open to their in.
. spection, and that is just whaI

SHOULD YOU MEET A LION.
inst Hold a Chair in Front of Him
AS a Defence-Woman Trainers
Who Have Sentiment for
Lions.

''ii 4 lion or Il tiger suddenly ap-
pear before You just hold a chair out
in front of him and he won't do a
thin~,' says Allen Williams. who in
the course Of his experience with
wild animals has been in that preli-
camcnt often enough to know. "Thasc
creatures have Il much more limited
intelligence than is generally sup
posed. They can take in only one
thing at a time and the four legs Of
IL chair would keep any lion busy
thinking for a long time.
"That is the reason why animal
trainers carry two whips when they
are in The circus ring. One for
cracking and awning the performers,
the other for emergencies. If one Of
The lions tries TO attack him the
trainer simply holds the reserve whip
in front Of him. The two objects to-
gcthcr are too much for the lions IN
telligcncc and he is Immediately sub
dued.'
Another proof of the very limited
intelligence Of the eat tribe. say
trainers. is The Fact that their per-
formanccs must always come in the
same order Of succession. If by some
accident The order is broken the am
mails ne completely lost and the
trainers are very few who can keep
them in submission oncc they become
confused. In Fact most tanners CON
slider themselves lucky in a case Of
th;s sort if they can get the lions
quietly back into their cages.
The whole eat family. morcover, is
as ircachcrouS as it is stupid. No mat
ter how long a trainer has associated
with his charges he knows that fear
is the only thing that keeps them down
and that they would be at his throat
in y minute if he permitted himself
to become careless or ovcr-confident.
This is particularly true Of animals
