SPECIAL ELECTION PREDICTED
Probable That Gov. Haskell Will Cali
 One to Vote on Prohibition.

Guthrie, Ok, Feb. s18.-Those who are close to Governor Haskell say that the question of the repeal of the prohibition clause ot the constitution will be submitted to the citizens of Oklahoma at a spe- cial election in May or June. This time has been agreed upon by the supporters of the local op. tion and high license plan and the administration, as being the proper way to handle the matter in order that it may not be in- fused into the state campaign next fall.
 Dr. John Threadgill. president of the Sons of Washington, and w. D. Cardwell, counsel, of Ok lahoma City, were in conference with Governor Haskell in reg ard to the matter Tuesday, at which time the petition bearing the sig natures of b0.000 voters of the state, asking for the repeal of the clause, was submitted for his perusal. The document was iu- spected by Attorney General Charles West and pronounced to be properly drawn.

Smuggling Partridge Eggs.

A singular custom of smuggling by means of dummy baby was brought 70 light by the city customs officials 1t northern station in Vienna
 Partridge eggs have for a long time been extensively stolen from pre-. served estates in Hungary, smugged into Vienna and sold to poultry deal CTS, who matched the eggs in incu- bators, brought up the birds by hand and sold them below the prices asked by more honest dealers.
 A special lookout for smugglers has resulted in the arrest of two peasant women. Arriving in Vienna in the na. tional Slovenian costume, each of them carried a baby tied, according to the invariable custom, to cushion and so closely packed" that only the face was visible.
 The women were noticed to be a lit. tie agitated as they passed the GUS toms. and they were followed home. It was then discovered that while one baby was living child the other was a dummy. It consisted of wax head. partly hidden by shawl and a can. while the cushion was filled with more than 600 partridge eggs.

MUMMIFIED BODIES FOUND
 IN THE MINE AT CHERRY, ILL
Poisonous Cases Struck m'ne's S0"" While in Full Flight in one
 Gallery.

Cherry. IL, Feb. 19.-Eleyen pouies of miners have been recovered rom the st Paul coal mine. To the amaze ment of veteran mine inspectors the bodies. which have been entomDeu since November 13, when brought lo inc surface were found to be almost perfectly mummified.
 The mummifled condition was brought about by the bodies haylns during the three months, been Tn d mart of the mine which was dry and warm. the bodies going through SLOW process of drying up.
 This is one of the most remarkaoie incidents of disaster which has been fun of wonders declared an old mine insnector "The mummies are in such good preservation that they might have been taken out of the ancient tombs of Egypt
 Fighting through fire and the deadly black damp which ever since the dls- aster has stood between them and the 165 or more bodies still entombed Tn the mine, the rescuers found the II bodies in what is known as the second level They were about 175 feet from the main air shaft The men, instead of retreating to remoter parts of the mine. evidently had made desperate effort to escape when the fire broke out. and they were among the first to die.
 They were found with their arms stretched forward and faces down having been suffocated as they ran probably by a gust of heat and gas Shut in an air-tight chamber when the mine was finally sealed up, they re mained in a kind of an oven in whicf the temperature was a little above blood heat. Their clothing was SC badly scorched and their features so badly disfgured by falling stones thal identification was difficult.

MASS MEETING WAS
 POORLY ATTENDED
Bad Roads and Cold Weather Interfered With Efforts to Secure AgricuItur- al School for Polk County
 Another Try for 1t.

The efforts put forth Saturday morning to hold mass meeting 70 push forward the movement to secure the third district state ag- ricultural school for Polk county, were only a partial success, the bad condition of the roads and the cold weather probably being re- sponsible for the small attendance from the country.
 However about twenty men, composing business men and some of Polk county's most progressive farmers were present, and all seemed agreed that the move was decidedly worthy one. l. ii. Tnll, former instructor ia an Eastern agricultural and immig ration agent for the Kan sas City Southern with headquar- ters at Siloam Springs, was pres- ent and gave short talk on the purposes and scope of such insti- tutions.
 Judge James D. Shaver spoke of the schools to be established in Arkansas, defining this, the third district, and telling of the large amounts raised by the successful cities of other districts.
 w. D. Durhrm was very much alive 10 the benefits to be derived by the county from such school, and felt that the country people would gladly support the move ment to secure one for Polk coun. l ty if they understood the situa- tion.
 Guy B. Wood said that there was no town in the third district larger than Mena, and several spoke of the fact that the other state schools would be located in low, cotton growing districts, and the high aud mountain dis tricts should be represented also
 It was decided that the early date for opening bids, March 5, precluded the calling of a mass meeting at later date and res olution was odopted authorizing ths committee having the work in charge to select representatives to work with it and see what could be done in gaining support outside of Mena. Mena may be counted for at least half the amount to be secured. While the winning cities in the other dis tricts have offered upwards ol $40,000 in cash, besides the site, it is probable that a site and one-fourth that amount in cash will secure the college for tho third district.
 | c. A. Smith, president of tho Mena Co-Operative Development Club, is doing all he can to en- courage the movement to secure the agricultural school for Poll county.

 The entrance into Gondokoro of tho Americans was rudely picturesque and nothing that British and native hospitality could suggest was lacking in the welcome.
 The arrival of the expedition in the outskirts of the town was heralded with bugle blasts by Chief Keriba's bugle band which led the van. Chiei Keriba accompanied his musicians The native party had met the expedt ton 16 miles to the south, and on the way here did it all the honor thai could be gotten out of instruments oi brass and Indian drums.
 Reaching the town, the band struck up America" which, happening to be the British national air suited the oc. casion exactly. Belgian marches were interspersed
 Following the musicians, a native porter carried a large American flag Then came the caravan proper, Col Roosevelt, Kermit, the other American hunters and scientists and the body c; native pcrters.
 Waiting on the Bar-El-Jabel was the launch of Gen. Sir Reginald Wingate sirdar of the Egyptian army, and from the vessel was flying the stars ana stripes. Mir. Roosevelt boarded the launch at once and, after brief rest began the reading of his mail. Mans communication awaited him.
 Col. Roosevelt and the other hunt CTS and scientists constituting the ex pedision sent out by the Smithsonian Institution at Washington has passed through the most trying stage of theil African journey and from now on will be in close touch with the outside world.
 For the last ten days they have beer practically isolated in wilderness where the only communication bA tween the scattered villages was through native runners.
 At Gondokoro brick house has beer placed at the disposal of MT. Roose welt. In the town there are few shops belonging to Greeks and Indians and few traders make their head quarters there The steamboats owned by the Sudan government call once month for passengers and the malli for Khartoom
