All Amendments Will Be
Fought BY Prohibitionists

that during the recent primary cam
paign, Leslie P. Ross, the anti-prohibi-
tion candidate for governor before the
democrats, polled 276S7 votes, which
they claim we're practically all local
option and high license votes. They
claim that practically all of these were
voters who stood for prohibition and
Haskell in 1907, which would add at
least that many votes to the 112 900
Ianti-prohibition votes cast In 1907. The
anti-prohibitions claim that not all of
the vote in the party opposed to pro-
hibition was cast in the primary, as
the full party strength is never voted
in such election, so they figure they
can secure at least 10000 votes for
high license and local option in the
coming election, probably enough to
carry the proposition.
There is little question that prohibit
tion is not as popular in Oklahoma as
1t was three years ago. During the last
year open joints ana gambling have
been running unmolested in many cit.
les Of the state, and this has had a
tendency to turn many people against
prohibition as it now exists in Okla
homa. The prohibitionists, however,
attribute this condition to negligence
lof local officers in enforcing the law
and to court injunctions which have
hampered the state enforcement at
torney in capturing liquor shipped into
the state for use of the joints.

The fences are connected with pow
erful electric plants and the wires are
constantly kept charged with the
death-dealing fluid.
Already 1t has been found that the
new system is the most efficacious
that the government has yet con-
trived.
The savages are baffled and mysti-

down their comrades so suddenly.
They are afraid to move about in the
night on their horrible head-hunting
expedition, for the wire has been
placed with such cleverness that they
never can tell when they are likely to
come into contact with It.
The plan of campaign at present is
to drive the savages into the noun
tains, prevent them from coming into
the low countries or near the towns,
and so hem them In eventually by
the wire barriers that they will be cut
of from supplies and forced either to
surrender or die
Hardly will this be regarded as

NEW RECORD FOR DIAMONDS
Imports at New York Port for Last
Fiscal Year VIII Be Above
$45,Oo0.

New York.-Imports of diamonds
and other precious stones, as reported
by the customs officials this month,
have sent the total valuation for the
fiscal year, which ended June 80,
above $45.O00,000. The highest prior
record was $43,602.476 for the year
1907, as shown in report recently
prepared by Douglas r. Sterrett for
the bureau of statistics. More than
95 per cent. of these imports now
come through the port of New York.
Importers have been predicting for
some time that the present fiscal
years imports would break all rec.
ords, but this month has sent the to.
tai even higher than they expected.
About IS per cent of the imports
have been diamonds. Of the total
imports of diamonds, about one-third
have been in the rough and the 9th.
er two-thirds were cut and polished in
Europe.

New York.-Romance set out to

Gannon's mother was persuaded to
abandon her widowhood few months
ago by John Padron, who is in the pay
bureau of the Long Island city fire de-
partment. They decided that it would
be nice to have her son and his daugh-
ter live with them, and hired house
at No. AZ De Witt street, Corona.
That arrangement pleased the young
people so well that in little while
there was no doubt that the house
held two pairs of lovers.
While pleased that their children
got on well together, the elders
looked with dismay on love-making
between them and took them to task
for 1t, protesting that they were
brother and sister and had no right
to fall in love. This view OF the
case struck the young people as
one not to be argued and they seem

as laid down by the parents. All

Japanese Use Novel Expedient in
Subduing Savage Tribes.
Most Curious Duel Being Waged
Against BIoodthirsty Aiyu Tribes
In Island Of Formosa-Soldlers
Unable to Check Outrages.

Philadelphia.-The most ferocious
instinct of primitive savagery, head
hunting, Japan Is to fight with the
most modern of military agencies,
electricity. 1t is a most curious duel
that is now being waged in the island
Of Formosa between the Japanese and
the bloodthirsty Aiyu tribes.
1t is the proudest achievement Of
the head hunter to increase his col
lection of skulls. He who has most
Of these sanguinary relics is esteemed
the great man of the tribe and the
gruesome skulls are exhibited with
the utmost pride not only to residents
but to visitors who may chance under
proper guard to penetrate to the fast
nesses of the interior
1t has not taken long for Japan to
find that her soldiers can not avail to
stop the depredations and outrages
committed by the head hunters
There are some hundred thousands
of these savages, who became a prob
lem to the Toxic government when
the outcome of the war with China in
1895 brought Formosa under japanese
dominion.
The gallant little brown men who
had been able to overwhelm the Chi
nese and who later were to strike
such a frightful blow at the prestige
of Russia, were unable to deal with
the head hunters.
In the guerilla warfare that ensued

into the country the modern sons of
Jupiter were constantly worsted.
1t was private trick of the head
hunters to perform their deadliest out

speak, Of the new rulers of the is
land.
Then tactician in the army struck
on great idea.
Fight them with electricity.
A wall was built across the coun-
try, wall four hundred miles In
length, not wall of stone, but a far
more deadly and treacherous wall. one

with current that carried death
Just as certainly as the bullet of a
dead shot
Only 1t needed no soldier to fire this
death message. All that the head
hunter needed to do was to come into
contact with 1t just for the briefest
space Of time and with any portion of
his body. Death was then the sure
outcome.

WEDDINGS STRIPPED OF FUSS
In Brittany Matrimonial Candidates
Are Herded Together and Mar
rled In a Bunch.

Over in France they have a way
of getting rid of all the undesirable
features which In the United States
go with getting married. They have
the scheme in operation in Brittany.
In Brittany they do away with the
best man and bridesmaids and ushers
and other such impedimenta strewn in
of the matrimonial ceremony. Even
the dressmaker and the milliner and
the florist are given the laugh. Their
goods aren't needed. The caterer is
the only tradesman who profits.
About the middle Of January every
year there is a general round up of
all the men and women who have
been engaged within the twelve
month They are herded together in
one place, and on the appointed morn
ing along comes the priest and mar
ries them in bunch. No fuss, no
feathers, no "Lohengrin" or Robin
Hood stuff, no ushers or bridesmaids
to carry away your stickpins and your
brooches. And everyone wears the
national costume, simple in construc-
ton though gaudy.
There were q couples married at
Plougastel January II, "a people. "a,
count them. Among the "a were
only four names. Everyone married
was Legal, Jeseuquel, Thomas
or a Kazeneuff. Fifteen of the brides
were named Marie and three were
named Marie Legal.
The caterer got his rake off from
the barbecue which followed the cere-
mony. He served q sheep, and six
cows at the wedding breakfast.

The Wisa Tailor.

1.-THE late Goodwin Smith," said a
magazine editor, "exuded good advice
on all occasions.
You know how BARRIERS, in their de-
sire to sell tonics and pomades,
make coarse and insulting references
to their patrons badness? Well, a
Montreal barber once criticised the
condition of Prof. Smiths hair in that
way, saying:
'Hopelessly bad as your scalp
looks, sir, my Scalpene-Dandurffia will
fix it up
1.-The aged philosopher flushed and
retorted:
"'You are very foolish to point out
your patrons physical defects. That
saddens and displeases them. 1t
doesn't make them buy. 1t drives them
away, and they will never return. You
would be wiser, my poor fellow. to
initiate a successful down town tailor.
This man says to every patron as he
takes his measure-he says it to a
fat and lean, short and tall, alike:
Its an extraordinary thing-of
course you already know it, sir-but
you have exactly the same measure
ments as the Apollo Belvidere.'
