TRY TO BURN MAYORS HOME
BOTTLE OF BLAZING OIL THROWN
THROUGH WINDOW.
"5lack Hand" and Liquor Enemies
Involved in Theories of Belle
fontaine CO., Attack.

Bellefontaine, O., June 18.-What is
believed to have been an attempt to
assassinate Mayor William r. Niven
and burn his home, in this city, was
made when a bottle filled with burn
ing kerosene was thrown through a
window OF his home.
The mayor was away from home,
and did not return until the arrival of
Big Four train half an hour later.
The bottle containing the kerosene
was wrapped with rags saturated with
oil, and was blazing when thrown
through the heavy window.
In the house at the time were the
mayors two sisters, Miss Edith Niven
and Mrs. Margaret Fichthorn, and his
niece, Miss Maud Fichthorn. All
were awakened by the noise of the
breaking window glass, which was
quickly followed by the explosion.
Policemen put out the fire and It
was no: until half an hour later that
the remains of the heavy quart size
whisky bottle were found.
Two policemen standing near heard
the crash, saw the blaze and a man
running away from the scene They
thought the man had gone to give an
alarm and did not pursue him.
The mayor attributes the crime to
some person he has punished in po-
lice court, or to some wet" sympa,
thizer or possibly to some BLACK
Hand" influence, for he assisted in
the recent arrest made here by post,

Editor Herald: Oklahoma Is a
land OF many peoples, within its linn
its are descendants of not less than
fifty tribes of indians from thirty dit
ferent states of the Onion, while the
settlers represent every state, nut to-
day all are Oklahomans. The terri
tory was acquired from France by the
Louisiana Purchase of 1903. The first
Indians to locate here were the five
civilized tribes, the Cherokees ami
Seminoles from Georgia, Creeks from
Alabama and Georgia, Chickasaws
from Mississippi and Alabama. Other
tribes were moved here from the
northwest tdsIndian Territory, which
constituted the original Oklahoma
when it WAS opened for settlement IN
1889. Land acquired from the Sac,
Fox, Ioway and Pottawattamie tribes
was opened in April, 1888. The Chen
ney and Aspire country was opened
in September, 1895, and the Cherokee
strip in June 1906. The capital has
been fixed at Guthrie until 1913, after
which 1t may be removed by the will
of the people. The constitutional con-
vention was held at Guthrie in Nov,
ember. 1906, and September II, 1907
the constitution, was adopted and the
state officers were elected with Chas.
N. Haskell as governor. Oklahoma,
the forty-sixth state in our glorious
Union, is bounded on the north by
Kansas and Colorado, on the east by
Missouri and Arkansas, on the sou n
by Texas and on the west by New
Mexico. Its area is 70,057 square
miles and the principal rivers are the
Arkansas and two branches of the
Canadian, which all flow from the
northwest. The climate Is mild anG
.healthfuLr with a breeze from the
south in summer and from the no IN

and raises all kinds of crops. , There

the PRICE OF WHEAT.

"The census of 1870" says James j.
Hill, "will show that we have a popu'
lation of 10000, 600, which will mean
that we will require for our own use
about 630,000,00 bushels hereafter.
We raise now about 650.000,000 BUSH
els of wheat in the United States an,
nuaIly under good crop conditions,
This will leave us but 20,00O,000 bush
els as a surplus for export, while in
the past we have exported upward OF
100 ZOO, 900 bushels annually. So ev'
erybody can see that We will soon
need all our wheat for our own PEG
ple."' -.,. ...... .,, H.. r..... H.
Possibly this forecast Is correct
says the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat,
land therefore high prices for wheat
will be the rule hereafter. On the
face of the figures the outlook for any
large surplus of wheat again is not
bright. The wheat crop of 1898 was
675. 600, 900 bushels. while that of 1908
was about 670.OO0,000. IN the ten
years in, which the population of the
country increased about FL per cent
the wheat yield remained stationary,
although twice within the decade-in
1901 and 1906-the wheat crop cross
ed the 10000 .000-busnel mark. Corn
and oats have made a better showing
in the decade than wheat in regard to
increase. but the gain III each of these
cereals has been comparatively slight.
But there may be some relief near
at hand which Mr.. Hill overlooks. All
the European producing countries
raise more wheat TO the acre than
We do, and on poorer lands. Inc high
prices will offer a powerful induce
ment to our wheat growers to adopt
some of the methods Of their counter
parts across the water. The wastefuI
practices on our grain growing lands
are discreditable to our farmers, as
well as Improbable and the campaign
Of education which the high prices has
set on foot ought to bring results
which will tell in the crop yield OF the
near future. In aggregate wheat pro.
duction the United States has still a
lead over every other country, but II
is not as long as formerly. Russia.
France, Italy, Argentine, Austria
Hungary Germany, Spain and Canada
are large wheat growers but only
Russia, Argentine, Canada and one or
two others of those countries are ex-
1jorters of wheat. When the day ap-
Droaches that we can no longer supply
our home needs the duty on wheat
will be removed, and it may be re-
moved long before that time. Proba-
bly, the low prices of a dozen years
ago for wheat will not return again
for the United States"
