Franchises had been granted these
towns tried Go prove that they were
not exclusive by granting other similar
franchises.
In practically every town of any
size in old Indian .Ttrritory franchises
for gas, electric lights and water

OF years.
The 'owns of Indian Territory ac-
qpired tihe right to grant franchises
E-n'n an act of congress which gave
the secretary of interior the right to
approve or disapprove them. Ii also
gave the right to the city council
granting a franchise to make it ex.
elusive for a number of years This
was usually called a contract clause
OF the franchise. Most OF the fran

about this law was that it applied on.
ly to electric light. gas. water and
street car franchises. The power
never was given to grant an exclusive
franchise for telephone system for
instance, and there is not an exclu
sive telephone franchise in Oklahoma
Now that the towns have grown to
cities, and compelling franchises
would be valuable, this question is i'm.
portant Most of the original fianchis
e. were made exclusive under contract
for certain period of years, some
times not as long as the life OF the
franchise. and soon some of these
contracts will expire. In the towns
where the water works are owned by
individuals, the towns are making an
effort TO purchase them.

ANARCHIST SCHEME FAILED.
Tried to Capture New York Meeting
 of Unemployed.

New York, Sept. 9.-An attempt was made Monday to turn meeting of un- employed workingmen into an anar- chist demonstration and for half an hour the big meeting hall in Cooper Union, where the meeting took place. was the scene of wild excitement. during which red flags were raised. the police denounced and incendiary speeches made. Alexander Berkman, the anarchist who some years ago shot Henry c. Prick, steel company of ficial, during the homestead strike in Pennsylvania, was dragged from the hall by the police and locked up. A young woman who gave her name as Mary Smith" and who stood by Berk- man. was also arrested, and Emma Goldman, recognized leader of the Reds" in this country, was made to leave the hall.
 Only the stern measures adopted by the police prevented the meeting from becoming an out-and-out anarchistic affair. although the Unemployed and Brotherhood Welfare association, which planned the meeting. had no other intention than to present it's claim that there are thousands of idle workmen here.
 J. Dads Howe of St. Louis, some times alluded to as the millionaire hobo" planned the demonstration. He and other officers of the Brotherhood Welfare association, have for some time been making arrangements for a monster parade and meeting on Labor Day, but when the parade formed there were less than 1000 in line. The police say they recognized many an archists in line, among them some who attended the meeting in Union square last spring when a bomb was thrown at the police which killed spectator and fatally wounded the bomb throwei himself

Joplin, and took into his icy grasp the wife and mother, Delilah. She was born March "A, 1876, and be- came afflicted with consumption a few years ago. For long time she watched this terrible equalizer en- croaching upon and destroying her health, her vitality, her life Final ly, in the very presence of death, she manifested that calm resignation and fortitude that is seldom met with at the end of human life, even among the bravest.
 The world may not long remem- Der her usefulness, but in the reces- ses of all the hearts that knew her there is left Ian aching void that never can be filed" She leaves a number of relatives and host of friends around her old home, Mena, Ark; some relatives and friends around her childhood home in Texas; husband, seven children and many friends to mourn the irreparable loss. All who kr,ew her were her friends. Funeral services were con- ducted by Elder T. P. Levins at the cemetery.

a garrison of at least 1000 men will have 10 be maintained there in order to protect the works and insure against invasion by possible enemy. Just now there are approximately 10.- 900 Japanese in the Hawaiian islands. In the remote event of war between America and Japan and some other power with whics Japan is on friendly terms, 1t would be impossible for the comparatively small force of United States troops now in the Hawaiian islands to prevent the landing of arms and ammunition to supply the Jap anese in the islands.
 It is expected that the president will recommend in his message an in crease of the army by the addition of at least ten regiments of infantry, five regiments of cavalry and several com. panies of coast artillery.

w. N. Edwards of Big Fork writes to the Star that the vine from which the big grapes were picked that attracted so much at lention at the Fair has stood for fifteen years where 1t now is, and, therefore, was not found in wild state and transplanted, as the Stars informent stated. MT. Ed wards says the grapes are fine and he never saw Concords as large. One thing is certain, Mr. Edwards, everyone who saw them was astonished, and fruit growers generally felt that they should be propagated.

FOR MORE SOLDIERS.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SAID TO FAVOR AN INCREASE TO
 100000 MEN.
MORE NEEDED FOR FORT GARRIsONs
General Staff Is of the Opinion That 60,o0o Men Are Too Few for Present Posts--Foreign Demand Large Many Japanese in Hawaiian Islands Will Organize New Regiments.

Washington, Sept. S.-President Roosevelt. in his final annual message to congress. probably will recommend an increase in the numerical strength of the army to at least 100000 men. At present the army is on footing of 60,000 men, the number provided for in time of peace.
 To the general staff it has become evident in the last two years that 6O,- 900 men are too few to properly gar rson the posts at which 1t is neces- sary to maintain an army force. These posts include the garrisions in the in- sular possessions of America. The law provides that the army may be increased to 100000 men in time of need. This provision, in the opinion of military experts. is likely to prove a serious handicap to the army If ab solute necessity should arise for
 larger force. It IS pointed out th-s the recruiting of the army from 60,. GOO to 100000 men would bring into the service an addition of approxi- mately two inexperienced men to every three experienced soldiers. The injection of so considerable force Of raw recruits. it is said by military of. ficials. would detract seriously from the efficiency of the army.
 It is also pointed out that consider able force will be required to garrison the fortiflcations at Pearl Harbor. in the Hawaiian Islands. An immense amount of money is to be expended in the erection of these Notifications and |. is the opinion of army officials that
