In closing the letter which was publish

upon you by your colleagues, both as a
reward of merit and as an honor to the
state of Michigan, whose commission
you bear. truly feel that you are in a

the late Senator Mcmillan supported
your colleague, Senator Alger, because

honor him, and although he is new in
legislative life, I feel certain that in his
selection the public confidence has not
been misplaced. The great Office of
United States Senator is an honor to
which any worthy citizen may appro-
priately aspire; but the senators who
have served in that great body have
been most constant in their loyalty to
acceptable servants, and l express the
hope that your public work, extending
oyer nearly third of century, may as
the evening of life approaches be filled
with added luster and greater useful.

BARN DANCE ENJOYED

A social event that has had few
equals in Vinita, from the standpoint
of enjoyment, was the big dance given
last night in the big barn at the home
of Frank L. Burckhalter, one mile
east of town.
This certainly could not have been
styled a formal dress affair for all Of
the invited guests were notified that
they would not be admitted unless
they came in ''tacky costume the
ladies' in calico and the gentlemen in
"overalls' and hickory" shirts.
About seventy-five guests took ad-
vantage of the occasion for an even
ing of rare pleasure, and the walls OF
the great barn resounded to the lively
music and the shouts of merriment
All who attended agree that this was
one Of the most enjoyable affairs Of
their lives,

While Cravens is still alive, SO far
as the public knows, he has managed
to elude the officers since his specular
escape from the penitentiary at Lans-

one Of the most interesting of the

squabbIe over Authority.

Guthrie, Okla, July LIN an order
issued yesterday in which the Frisco
Railway company is required to in
stall flagmen and flag stations in the
city Of Lawton, the corporation holds
that it has power to regulate such
matters within the limits of incorpor-
ated cities and towns, under authority
of the state constitution This es-
talblishes a precedent which viii be
questioned by the railroad company in
the supreme court of the state.
The Frisco railroad contended that
the city authorities under the police
power of the city had authority to re-
Iquire flagmen to be stationed at cross
ing and that any attempt to exercise
this power by the corporation com
mission would be an interference with
the internal affairs of a city.

ROBBED
LATE LAST NIGHT

Are Stolen.

were relieved last night of all Of their
loose change and other valuables, by
burglar or burglars, who entered
every room in the house except two.
Watches, rings and money to the
value of about $500. were secured.
The heaviest loser was, probably, DR..
C. S. Neer, who lost handsome gold
watch and about SIS in cash.
After going through the rooms Of
the Rebecca, the burglars made their
escape, and left no clue to follow them
by The officers have been on the
lookout and have notified all Of the
surrounding towns of the robbery, and
every effort will be made to catch the
robbers. It Is the opinion Of the off
GERS that the burglary was committed
by local men, who knew the interior
of the building.

State Capital Changes Made
Since Union Was Formed

tes 4 spirited campaign N which Wis
casset, Belfast, Hallowell and other
places were candidates for the honor
Twice within the last generation a
vigorous attempt has been made to
change the capital back to Portland.
In 1890 the attempt would undoubt-
edly have succeeded had not the gov
ernor-now Congressman Burleigh--
been an Augusta man. To anchor the
statehouse at Augusta new wing
was added at that time, but four years
ago Portland renewed its ambitious
attempt, and only half dozen votes
were lacking in the legislature to sub
nit the question to the people. Now
the statehouse is again being enlarged
and Augusta breathes more freely.
In New Hampshire the seat Of gov
ernment was at Portsmouth for a CEN
fury. Then for a time-during the
revolution and the following years
lit was located at Exeter. In 1903 it
was permanently located at Concord.
There, as at Augusta, the old state
house is now being extensively re-
modelled and enlarged. Montpelier,
the geographical center Of Vermont,
was made its capital in 1905. Between
the admission in 1891 and that time
the legislature met in several places.
Both Pennsylvania and Virginia have
had a succession OF capitals. In Vir-

There are three ways Of misrepre-

"One way is to tell what he said and
to add to it something he did not say.
The second way is to tell only part
of what he said. And the third way
is to change what he said just enough
to make it mean something else One
