We are having very nice weather
at present with scarcity of rain,
but considering everything we have
fine prospects for corn and cotton.
Oats were good this year. some
land yielding as much as 10 bushels
per acre; but 40 bushels is about
the general average. Oats are sell
ing for 43c in the city, while we get
only 3sc at Britton, our nearest
market, with price declining.
Before coming to Oklahoma had
the impression that money grew on
trees, and probably some of the
West Virginia boys think so yet
but if it does it takes some mighty
tough climbing and hard shaking to
get it.
The farm wages are s1 and $3.50
per day and board; and notice
some of the farmers are taking ad-
vantage Of the eight hour law
they work hired man eight hours
before noon and eight after.
Alfalfa has yielded two crops 80
far, but if dry weather continues
the third crop will not be cut.

BLOODY DEED OF A MADMAN
Kills Two, Wounds Two Others and
Ends His Life.

Greenville, O., Nov. 3O.-Clyde Wea-
yer, adman, aged thirty-four, son
of Isaac Weaver, a farmer, killed his
mother and deputy sheriff, wounded
two others and then committed sui.
eide.
Weaver had been confined In the
Dayton state insane asylum and had
baffied medical experts as to his san,
,ity.
Physicians recently decided he suf,
fered from peculiar form of mental
trouble, which they described as ex-
aggerated ego, malady akin to that
of Harry Thaw's, who shot Stanford
White in New York city a few years
ago.
Meantime Weaver threatened a
neighbor and the probate judge de-
scided to isolate him. Accordingly
Sheriff John f. Haber and Deputy w.
II. Farra went to the Weaver home

The censistory of the University OF
Copenhagen declined to accept the pro.
posal of the National Geographic so
ciety that a committee, representing
the American body, be present when
the north polar records of DR.. Cook
are first examined Rear Admiral w,
S. Schley, of the United States navy,
who is recognized authority on
arctic exploration, made an interesting
statement regarding the action of the
National Geographic society in re-
questing the University of Copenhagen
to allow them representation at the ex,
animation of DR.. Cooks polar data.
when an opinion Is expressed by one
who is known to be biased it loses all
its weight in a matter of this kind,
Rear Admiral Schley said. "The onlv
statements that carry weight are made
by persons of an open mind who have
not prejudiced the issue in advance of
getting all the facts in the case. | do
not wish to criticise anything thai
members of the National Geographic
society have done, but | will say this
The Danish experts who will examiEs
the records of DR.. Cook are known tn
be by far the most competent of an.
in the worl to judge, and what they
do not kno-rn about polar exploration
and examir tion of polar records no
one can presume to tell them"

ARMOUR PREPARES TO BUILD
Files Deed for Land Acquired at Nem
BRIGHTON.

The intentions Of the Armour cOm-

plant, costing millions of dollars and
covering several hundred acres or
ground at New Brighton, a few
miles from Minneapolis, was indicated
when attorneys for the company filed
a deed for the strip of land with the

It is believed that the Armour COM

filing the deed and for quieting all agi-
tation against the building of the plant
at New Brighton.
Filed at the same time with the deea
was mortgage for the $50,000,000 is-

SWitchnen From St Paul to Pa
CifiC Coast on Strike.
ASKED INCREASE IN WAGES
Railroads Refused to ACCede to
Their Demands.

st. Paul. Dec. 1.-Switchmen en-
ployed in the railroad yards in the
Twin Cities, Head of the Lakes and
along the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern to the North Pacific
coast have gone on strike. The Off.
cials up to the last minute refused to
accede to the demands for increased
pay and the men carried out the ulti'
matum issued to the railroads on Mon,
day that they would quit.
The general conference committee
of the switchnen involved in the pres
ent movement claimed that all the
men ordered out in the territory
dropped their work at the time sched-
uled. Officials, on the other hand,
declared that good many switchmen
continued on duty and that the strike
is failure. The switchmen claimed
to have tied up traffic effectively from
here to the North Pacific coast, while
officials claimed tnat trains have con-
tinued in operation. Officials admit
ted that difficulty was encountered in
handling trains at the freight ter
minals, but traffic was moving salts
factorily out on the line and passenger
trains generally proceeding with com
paratively little delay.
The strike was pulled off quietly.
Immediately on the stroke of the hour
the men quit work and marched out
of the yards. Meetings were held at
terminals affected and the plan of fu-
ture campaign mapped out.
Most Affected by the Strike.
The Twin Cities and the Head OF
the Lakes seem to be the most affect
ed by the strike. The officials admit
that the men in the Twin Cities yards
went out solid and the majority at the
Head of the Lakes, but say that at
several terminal points along the
Northern roads switchmen are still
at work. The Twin Cities, it is urged,
is the stronghold of the Switchmen's s
union and ct other terminals the
switchmen are not SO strongly organ
lied. The committee in session in
st. Paul claims membership OF
$500 to 1880 in this territory, of
which about 1900 are in the Twin
Cities.
The union switchmen Of this terri
tory presented their demands about
six weeks ago. They asked for an in,
crease of 6 cents an hour in pay, dou-
BILE pay for overtime, Sundays and
holidays. The present schedule is:
Day foreman, IS cents; day switch
men, 80 cents; night foreman, 81
cents, and night switchmen, 81 cents.
Improvement was also sought In work
ing conditions, ten hours day being
one of the demands.
Attempts to settle the trouble by
arbitration proved futile, the men
claiming that the employees always
get the worst of 1t in arbitration.

Minneapolis Man Killed.

While crossing the Northern Pacific
tracks at Minneapolis A. A. Buck, jam
itor of the Northern Pacific freight

switch engine and cut to pieces. The
engine was running light and wac
eastbound Buck was evidently CON
fused by the noise of an engine blow
ing off steam and stepped in front Of
the 500 engine. The steam kept the
engineer from seeing Buck, and hs
