A FRIENDLY INVASION.

Two OF the principal candidates for
the gubernatorial nomination will in
wade each others camps during the
next few days. Lee Cruce going =
Tishomingo and bill" Murray coming
TO Ardmore.
The home followers OF each will
have an opportunity to size up the
men and to Judge OF their respective
merits from the point OF vantage on
the platform.
1t is simply an exchange OF cou--
tesies upon the part of the two gentle
men and has no tendency TO lessen
the regard which each holds for
other when it comes to social asso-
Citations.
Both OF the gentlemen are thorough
exponents OF democracy both are
aiming for the same general good, a.
though each may have different poll
cies in the performance OF the public
duties.
There is no one in Ardmore who
will refuse 10 listen to Co. Murray
side Of the question from any personal
enmity. and II is to be hoped that 81
A.r. Murrays home the same feeling
exists concerning Mr Cruce.
Mr.. Murray viii be welcomed to this
city and dr. Cruce wil receive a
cJid.ai welcome IN TisIomlngo, and
thus the amenities Of the campalga
will be temporarily at least, modified

John Lamb relates conversation he
had with the late Speaker Thomas b
Reed and Amos Cummings OF New
York, at Palm Beach, Fla, prior 10 the
Spanish-American war.
Lamb says they were talking of the
probability of war with Spain and said
that after the Maine was blown up
nothing could have averted a conflict.
Reed, with sarcasm, asked Lamb il
any one in Indiana believed the Span
iards had blown up the Maine.
Reed then openly asserted that the
board of inquiry that investigated the
explosion knew that it was caused
from within the battleship and that
the Spaniards had nothing to do with
it. He charged that not only Admiral
Sampson but President Mckinley
knew the cause of the explosion was

MRS. BOWMAN
COMMITS SUICIDE
WIFE OF WELL KNOWN ATTOR-
NEY MADE SECOND ATTEMPT
WHICH is SUCCESSFUL.

A tragedy of unusual sadness oc-
curreI today at two o'clock, when
Mrs. W. F.. Bowman, wife of the
we'll known attorney, committed su-
icide by taking chloroform.
The lady was found by her neigh
bors in an unconscious condition,
and died before medical help could
be secured.
Mr.. Bowman is out of the city
and at the time of going to press
had not been heard from.
The deceased left a letter to her
sister, Mrs. J. c. McNees, asking
her to care for her children, two
daughters.
1t is supposed that i'll health had
undermined the dead womans men
tality to such an extent as to impel
her to commit the act which ter
minated her life, as some months
ago she made an unsuccessful at
tempt to suicide.
The funeral arrangements have not
teen made, awaiting the arrival of
Mr.. Bowman. who is expected every
hour.

SHAWNEE ACCEPTS
WILL OF PEOPLE
NO SORE SPOTS LEFT AND THE
TOWN GETS DOWN TO INDUS
TRIAL AFFAIRS.

Shawnee, Okla, June 12.-The re-
suit of the capital contest is very
well received here, considering that
Shawnee has long been a candidate.
Ihe general feeling is one of relief
that the fight is over, as al interests
OF the city will not have more time
to devote to the great industrial de-
velopment of the city, which has IN
augurated the first boom that Shawnee
has ever experienced.
The portion of the packing house
belt line between the Santa Fe and
the packing house site is about half
completed, and will be finished the
first OF the week. over 400 cars o.
building material are on the way
here, and will be delivered at the
site as soon as the spur is comp.et-
ed.
The Shawnee-Oklahoma City inter
urban being built by the Shawnee
Electric Railways company, has been
graded as far as the Catholic uni
yersity site, three miles from Main
street. a connection between this
line and the Rock Island is to ne
made, so that all the building mater
ial for the Catholic and Baptist uni
yersties, both of which are on the in
terurban line, may be hauled direct
to the sites.
July 4 has been set for the big cele-
bration of the breaking of ground for
the Baptist university. Ground for
the Catholic university will be broken
about the same time. The ground
of the two schools lie about half a
mile apart.

HERRING OUT OF
GOVERNORS RACE
ELK CITY MAN IN OPEN LETTER
ANNOUNCES HIS WITHDRAWAL
AND GIVES REASONS.

Elk City, Okla, June 12.-In an
open letter 20 the democracy OF the
state e Oklahoma. F. +. Herring
OF this city. has withdrawn from
he race for nomination for governor.
Mr.. Herrings withdrawal is made
on account Of lack Of opportunity TO
present his ideas TO the people. He
believes that his candidacy might
hinder the nomination Of some other
democrat, who is for a business gov
eminent, rather than a political.
His letter follows:

Oklahoma

ton OF friends among the business
and agricultural interests OF this
state, became a candidate for COVER
nor. believing that the state needed
a business man for that office.
Il have made a campaign Of
the state and have met many of its
citize-s who have assured me of
their loyal support, but find that
on account OF my own limited ac-
quaintance and the limitation placed
on the expenditures of candidates
by law, that ii will be practically
impossible for me TO meet and pre-
sent to anything like a majority of
the people my ideas of a govern
ment by the people" and believing
that my candidacy might result in
the defeat of some other candidate
who stands for business" and not
political administration of state af-
fairs, ! have decided after consulta-
tion with friends, to withdraw from
the race at this time.
Il have no regrets for the part
have played in this campaign, ami
believe the agitation will cause our
people to consider more carefully
the business qualifications of the
various candidates who may aspire
to the office of governor and | trust
We may nominate and elect a man
who will give us an honorable and
business administration to whom we
can point our boys to with pride.

especially the weekly press who
have so Loyalty stood by me and as
sure them Of my hearty appreciation
Of the assistance they have gwen
me and hereby release them from all
pldges heretofore made ] am still

CONSOLIDATION OF
THREE BIG BANKS
INSTITUTION QUICKLY ORGANIZ-
ED IN CHICAGO HAS CAPITAL
OF S22,7oo,ooo.

Chicago June I'm an hours con-
ference a bank with s1S4, ,442 ,246 de-
posts was created. BY the affirma
tive signatures OF the men a financial
institution representing capital and
surplus OF s22,7OO,00O was brought in
TO being.
The Continental National bank, the
Commercial National and the Ameri-
can Trust and Savings company are
TO be consolidated. Representatives
OF these banks met in the assembly
room OF the Commercial National and
there agreed u n the merger today.
George VI. Reynolds is to be presi-
dent of the new bank.
With the influence of the concerns
formed it is estimated that Chicago
may have the leading bank of the
country for the deposits of the Ma
tional City bank of New York, which
stands at the head, are only s33,O0O,'
600 in excess of the sum held by the
institution formed here.
The deal has a far-reaching signifi-
canoe. 1t signifies an association OF
interests between New Yorks chief
bark the National City and the Chi
cago creation. The Continental has
been in close relations with the
Rockefeller bank (the National City,
for several years. Important bond
flotations have been mutual. The east
ern credits of the Continental have
been with the National City and vice
versa. One of the heaviest stock
holders in the Continental is j. Og-
den Armour (the Continental is known
as "the Armour bank'O. He is one OF
the largest shareholders in the Ma
tional City bank. He was recently
elected a director of $he latter insti-
tuition. His confidential assistant and
former treasurer of the Armour com
pany is now vice president OF the

10 the administration. / have usually
prelaced my remarks with the state

its record after the 2nd day Of Aug,

fend or condemn any man now holding

the reason that | am personally re-
sponsible tor any good things done

has been done. | am not responsible
for 1t and should not be charged with

ord and ready to defend it as the peo-
pie will want to know what is there

But now, since Mr. McNeal makes
this open statement, | want to say
that | endorse the democratic party

 "On the other side" and she led the way, and presently as they came to a confessional box in the space near the sacristy Alice pointed to the name, Father Anselm.''

 He looked at her in frank amuse- ment. I'm interested already. I'll get along very nicely here"
 The girl entered the confessional. Groener seated himself on one of the little chairs and leaned back, with a satisfied chuckle. Glancing up, he saw Matthieu polishing the carved stalls. Ten minutes passed. Groener rose and paced back and forth nervously. What time the girl was taking! Then the door of the confessional box opened, and q black robed priest came out and moved solemnly away.
 Still Alice fingered. Groener looked at his watch again. Twenty minutes past 3! It was ridiculous.
 "Alice!' he called.
 There was no answer.
 Groener drew aside the curtain.
 The confessional box was empty. Alice was gone!
 The confessional box was one not in use owing to repairs in the wall be- bind it. These repairs had necessi- tated the removal of several large stones. replaced temporarily by lengths of supporting timbers, be- tween which a person might easily pass.

 Yes. my cousin has run away. If makes me sad. Will you join me in glass at the tavern?"
 Ills companion agreed to this, and a few moments later the two men were seated under the awning of the Three Wise Men.
