GUTHRIE MAY YET
Be STATE CAPITAL
II Decision Of Supreme Court Favors
Guthrie Rumored That Governor
win Call Special Session.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 15.-The state
ment was made here yesterday BY an
administration democrat that if the
supreme court should decide the pend
ing capital case against Oklahoma City
holding void the election of June IL
by which the capital was voted to Ok
lahoma City, Governor Haskell will
personally come to Guthrie and call a
special session of the legislature with
in ten daTs after such decision and
ask the legislature to refer a bill for
another election on the capital loca-
tion embodying his scheme for free
capitol building and site for the state
IF Oklahoma City wins in the suit, 1t
lis probable that the state Offices will
he removed to Oklahoma City imme-
diately following and that the date for
the sale of lots in the proposed CAPT
tai addition to Oklahoma City would
be set.
The New Jerusalem bill, comprising
Senator Campbell Russell's plan for
locating the state capital, will be voted
upon at the election to be held Novem-
Der 5. AS no campaign is being made
in its favor. however, there is little
chance of it being adopted at the polls.
Should it become a law, it would re-
peal the Oklahoma City bill which is
now the subject Of controversy In the
courts, and would make necessary the
holding of another election, even
though the supreme court should hold
that the Oklahoma City bill was valid.
Under the Oklahoma laws, one bill
adopted by the initiative and refer
endum can be repealed by another bill
|aGopted in the same manner insofa.
Jas the last adopted measure conflicts
with the former.
In case the Oklahoma City bill
should fail in the courts and the New
Jerusalem bill fail to carry in the cleo
ton. there would be no capital legis-
lation, and Guthrie, would be the un-
disputed capital and remain so unless

election.

company was mysteriously robbed Of
$4,000 in cash. The loss was kept a
secret and detectives from Kansas

case.
Several days ago, under Information
which the detectives alleged tended
to show that the bank clerk knew
something. he was arrested. Later,
detectives and bank officials reached
the conclusion that the clerk knew
nothing and the charge was dismissed
All the officers in the Colonial bank
are named in the damage suit as is
also J. W. Orr, president of the First
National bank and large stockhold-
er IN the trust company.

Baltimore and Soft Crabs.

4 The genuine soft crab, or Brachyura
baltimoriensis, is the most delicate as
it is the most delicious Of all victuals.
1t will no more bear transportatiO
than zephyr or daffodil. The mo-
ment it is taken from It's native deep
1T begins to lose bounce and flavor, and
once it has left the Chesapeake littoral
it is no longer eatable. That Is why.
the soft crab is a superb delicatessen
in Baltimore and bitter disappoint-
ment everywhere else. So sensitive Is
it, indeed, to climate and handling
that it is impossible to get decent
soft crab anywhere west Of the first
tollgate on the Frederick road. In
Pittsburg, where embalmed soft crabs
are offered in the gilded lobster pal
aces, their flavor Is that of glucose.
In Chicago the soft crab is mere
curiosity, to be gaped at, but not
eaten. Baltimore alone has the genu-
inc article, and it is fortunate for Bal
timore that it cannot be transported.
If it We're possible to ship soft crabs
the. whole earth would bid for them,
running up their price to 81, S. and
perhaps even to 500 dozen.-Bal-
timore Sun. -

A RAIN OF FIRE.

The Great Meteoric Shower That
Scared Folks In 1888.
In Scharfs chronicles of Baltimore
there is a vivid description of the star
~ hailstorm, the fiery meteoric show
er, of 1888, and old files of newspapers
are made luminous at that date with
the Impressions Of editors and contrib
utors.. One writer said it was the
grandest and most charming sight ever
presented to the vision of man. Awak-
ened from sleep. he sprang to the win
dow, thinking the house was on fire.
but when he looked out he beheld
stars, or fiery bodies. descending like
torrents" The shed lin the adjoin-
ing yard to my own" he wrote. Twas
covered with stars, as supposed, dur
ing the whole time." Professor Ohm
stead Of Yale college thought that the
exhibition was the finest display of
celestial fireworks that had been wit
messed since the creation of the world,
although he, too. while knowing it's
character, was sufficiently imbued
with the theological spirit Of the time
to believe that it was Il solemn portent
that carried divine warming.
One editor whose comment upon this
phenomenon was, probably more quoted
than any other he ever made said:
I'VE pronounce the raining fire which
we saw on Wednesday morning IN
awful type. forerunner, a merciful
sign. of that great and dreadful day
which the inhabitants Of the earth will
witness when the sixth seal will be
opened. Many things occurring in the
earth tend to convince us that, we are

Whom Men Were Branded.

A curious relic Of bygone times, prob,
ably the only one in England, still
stands at Lancaster castle. 1t is q
strong iron holdfast, into which the
prisoner, who in olden time had been
sentenced to be branded as malefac-
tor, had his hand thrust and locked.
The branding iron after being made
red hot at the end was pressed against
the ''brawne Of the thumb" and on be-

Their Tapping Stands. For courtship

Much mental anguish could have
been saved to past generations and

the various species of the beetle anobi-

whole woodwork of old houses by their

Quick Cure,

Once there was a man who made life
miserable for all he met by eternally
harping about his aches and pains.
He would discourse on the subject of
his dyspepsia, and he would almost in
terrupt religious service to tell of his
rheumatic symptoms.
If he had stitch in his side he had
to poster his friends with it, and
headache helped him make everybody
unhappy.
At last a bright young woman, to
whom the man applied for sympathy,
cured him of all his ailments.
When he was in the midst of cata-
logue Of his sufferings she said
sweetly:

these things aftlict man as he begins

month to spend short time at New

weight was added to this rumor by
the fact that. she took house in Lon

A change must have come over the
beautiful Mrs. Aston lately, for it is
announced that she is getting home
sick and tired of her life abroad. She
is longing to be back among her
