Of woman as a teacher in the Church,
but that the young woman who acted

All this. however, does not indicate
that either Jesus or the Apostles were

Chicago, H., Oct. 26.-The farmers

H. C. Wallace of Des Moines, Iowa,
president of the National Conservation

roads had based their plea for high
rates on the farmers prosperity.
1T is only by denying himself all
the luxuries, that the farmer may
make fair living" said Wallace, who
ia farmer himself.
Those farmers who can afford mo-
tor cars, owe 1t to the fact that they
saved on hired help by getting the
work done by their children. The
average 14-year-old boy Is considered a
full-fledged field hand.
THE statistics show that the small
farmer is being frozen out by the big

PIRATES IN OKLAHOMA
Motor Boat is Scuttled by Unknown
VandaIs


Muskogee, Okla, Oct. 25.-The Ar
kansas river may not be deep enough
for extensive navigation, but 1t Is big
enough to have pirates who scuttle
boats. A Fort Gibson merchant pur-
chased a modern gasoline launch for
use on the river It was a good, big
launch and he paid $40O for 1t. He
kept 1t moored at an landing. one
night the boat disappeared. The river
was searched for fifty miles but with
out result One afternoon an old fish
erman pulled in his line and brought
with 1t a copper oil can which had be-
come entangled. Boatmen on the river
Immediately recognized the oil can as
belonging to the missing launch. Fur
ther search revealed the launch on
the bottom OF the river. The hull was
raised and It was found It had been
deliberately scuttled The gasoline
engine and propeller had been taken
out. They were later found farther
down the river at plainly marked
spot.
Evidently the pirates had deliberate
ly scuttled the boat after taking the
engine out and either intended to
wait until a big reward was offered
or possibly until the boat had been
forgotten, when they intended to raise
1t and get away with the entire outfit
It is expected some warrants VIII be
sworn out in few days. The boat
was sunk opposite Hyde park, just
out OF Muskogee.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Cuban Army Circles Wrought Up by
Attack on General Guerra.

Havana, Oct. 25.-The attempted
assassination of Major General Pine
Guerra, commander of the Cuban
army, continues to be an absorbing
topic of discussion. The affair is still
q mystery, owing to failure to identity
the suspect now under arrest.
1t has long been notorious that Gen
eral Guerra was obnoxious to the ele-
ments in the present government and
much influence has been exercised TO
have him superseded as commander OF
the army by General Monteguedon,
chief of the rural guards. Colonel
Ramon Guerra, inspector general OF
the army and brother Of Pine Guerra,
says the latter fully expected an at
tempt would be made on his life, as
he had received many warnings not
to expose himself after dark In the vi
cinity Of the palace.
General Guerra's condition is i'm
proving. but his wound IS still consid'
cred serious.

CH|CKASHA HAS A
SENSATIONAL CASE
STEWARD OF CHURCH AND BUS
lNESS MEN INVOLVED, ALSO
$4,000 IN REAL ESTATE.

Chickasha, Okla, oct. 25.-Chick-
asha has trial now pending in
the district court which rivals or
even surpasses IN sensational interest
the famous Tegeler trial. The action
is for criminal conversation and is
based upon the alleged infatuation
of G. w Holder an old resident of
the Chickasaw nation, for the hand
some young wife of |. X. Smith, OF
Oklahoma City, an employe of the
Morris Packing plant.
In the course of the intrigue two
OF the best known business men OF
the city. It is alleged, were involved
as go-betweens and one OF them is
an aged steward of the church.
Interest in the case was first at
tracted by an action for the re-
covery OF about $4,000 worth oi
real estate in Ardmore and Chick
asha made by the defendant in the
case to his unknown friend, the
church steward, whom he allegel In
his petition TO have procured from
him under false pretense OF saving
it from the vengeance of the anger
ed husband Following this action
the defendant in the case had the
steward arrested for embezzling his
funds and that action is pending
before the grand jury.
The defense's proof in the case
on trial is connivance on the part
of the plaintiff with his wife, but
evidence in the plaintiffs case has
been heard. Plaintiff relied on the
stewards testimony for much Of
his evidence but sufficient is al
ready adduced to excite public inter-
est and curiosity to an extraordinary
pitch and this afternoon the court
adjourned the trial until Tuesday
morning because of the acute pros
tration of both the defen ant and
the steward. Both of them have
high pulse and abnormal tempera-
lures and it is considered grave
insult on the streets TO ask any man
about his temperature or ask to
feel his pulse.
The plaintiff resides in Oklahoma
7 City and is represented by j. s.
Estes. assisted by J. A. Mcclure of
the local bar. The defendant is rep
resented by F. +. Riddle.
