KILLED BY LIGHTNING.

Duringa violent electric storm which
passed over Denton. Md, shortly before
noon Tuesday the home OF Isaac j..
Moore, a farmer near Denton, was
struck by lightning, and his wife, Mrs.
Jane Moore, fatally injured, dying
Tuesday night. 1t is believed that the
lightning entered the house by means
of the telephone wire. Mrs. Moore,
an invalid, was &C years of age and
had gone from the house to a side
porch in quest OF respite from the ex-
cessive heat, and was in the act OF re-
turning, being within throe feet OF the
door when struck. The house was
badly damaged, the dining-room,
pantry and kitchen being torn up. Mrs.
Moore's hair was singcd, one of her
slippers was torn from her foot and a
hole burned in the foot Of her stock
ing, the electricity finally tearing hole
in the porch floor beneath her feet and
thus escaping to the ground. A col
ored woman doing the family washing
near the porch was knocked down and
rendered unconscious.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.

A sharp earthquake was felt at Mu-
Mich, Bavaria, at 9:45 O'Clock yeSter-
day morning. The wave-like move
ment continued for three seconds, ter
rifying the people, who fled from their
homes and remained in the streets long
after the disturbance had ceased The
shock was felt also in surrounding vii
lageS, including Garmisch. A report
from 0berammergau says that the
shock was noticeable there, but that
little damage was done. Although no
casualties have been reported at Mu-
Mich, investigation showed that the
walls of several schoolhouscs cracked,
and the teachers and pupils ran shrek
ing into the streets. The Town Hall
was severely shaken, and books tum-
bled from the shelves OF the public
library. The telephone system was
badly affected, while the seismograhiC
instruments at the observatory were
thrown out OF order.
Dispatches from the Tyrol, in Aus
tria-Hungary, report that one person
was killed and 20 others were injured
by an earthquake at the village OF Ut
tenheim yesterday.

THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA.

'The Russo-Japanese agreement Will
undoubtedly drive America and China
into each others arms" said Gen.
Yin Fan, Chinese minister at Berlin, in
an interview with the New York Times
correspondent yesterday.
"At present, " continued the minister,
we have little to offer as our contrlbu-
ton to an alliance, but when we have
made ourselves strong by perfectlng our
army, nothing will please us better than
to march shoulder to shoulder with the
United States for the protection OF our
mutual interests.
Gen. Yin CHAINS observations on the
new situation provoked in the Far East
by the Russo-Japanese compact assume
particular interest from the fact that he
is on the eve OF returning to Peking for
the purpose of recognizing the Chinese
army on the thorough-going European
lines. He is one of China's most
brilliant soldiers, having served his
apprenticeship as an officer in the Ger
man army before entering the diplo
matte service.
Neither America nor China" went
on the minister, can accomplish any
thing in the far East by an exchange
OF love letters or pretty phrase-mak
ing. What is required is action.
Nothing else will command respect or
achieve result. The Russo-Japanese
agreement, Of course, deals my country
vital blow. Ii amounts 10 nothing
more g. less than the partition OF
Manchurm between the contracting
powers. They talk. il is true about
the maintenance Of the status quo and
have written open door in large and
beautiful characters across the face OF
the agreement, but everybody under
stands that the door is really being
slammed and shut.
"China's duty is to pull herself
together ana rctake that ofwhich she
has been despoiled. She must let the
world understand that she can no
longer ruthlessly be floutcd and pill
laged."
Marquis Katsura, the japanese,
premier and minister OF finance, de-
MED yesterday that the recently made
convention between Japan and Russia
was influenced by Secretary Knox s
proposition for the naturalization OF the
Manchurian railways. He said;
There is not the slightest founda-
ton for the insertions published in
Europe that the Russo-Japanese con-
ventiCn was the outcome Of the neu-
tralization proposition. 1t had abso-
lutely no connection herewith; noi
was it directly or indirectly intended as
an answer to the United States. The
convention was framed practically long
prior to any proposal affecting Japan'>
interest in the railroads of Manchuria.
It was made solely with the purpose oI
affording q reinsurance Of the friendly
relations between Japan and Russia anC
of insuring peace in the far east; though
at the same time with the practical OBJ
ject of improving traffic connections
and working arrangements between the
railroads It is Japan's determined
policy to adhere closely to all agree
ments and treaties with China and Other
nations" "

of that stripe. Rather he will vote
| for a democrat lest the negro-lovlng
republican have chance to win.
That republicanism is rotten to the
! core is the view OF the average citi-
zen here. Its leaders have no inter
est in the welfare of the citizens bui
in the welfare of themselves. The
party is discredited and some OF its
loyal disciples admit that it is crumb-
ling, The negro issue is passing and
any party that seeks power through
the subterfuge of holding the negro
vote is losing its prestige.
There Is a unanimity OF sentiment
for Lee Cruce in this part OF the state.
He stands for high ideals, and the
character of his whole life has been
such that the people have confidence
in his integrity and his promises. They
know him to be above double-dealing
and false promises. He has no cor
poration taint but has the welfare OF
the Whole people at heart. They know
him to be a true Christian gentleman
and they know that he has backbone
and determination. Not n man has
ever said aught against his character.
Not a man has ever sought to be
smirch his reputation. Lee Cruce
stands on pedestal of honesty and
integrity that Is irreproachable. He
is likened unto Woodrow Wilson, pres
ident of Princeton university, whose
entrance into politics in New Jersey
as the democratic nominee for gov.
ernor had its inception in the mans
desire to raise the standard OF poll
tics and the character OF government.
Great newspapers and great maga-
zines of the east are printing bio
graphies and photographs Of Mr.. Cruce
and he is becoming known as one OF
the leading reformers OF the nation.
People of this part OF Oklahoma, be
they republicans, democrats or social.
lists will stand by the clean man and
forget party and past political align
nents. They have caught the inspir
alton that is borne in the nationwide
wave of reform. They stand for good
government and good men. They are
against negro-lovers, corporation ,too's
md unholy politicians who are after
anything, right or wrong, that will
yive them prestige with the corpora.

M'NEAL BRANDED
AS NEGRO LOVER

Purcell, Okla, Oct. 23.--.Ioe Nc,
Meals statement in a speech at We
woka that he stood for unrestricted
suffrage for negroes and restricted suf
frage for women, thus placing his con
| sideration for the negro above his con-
sideration for the woman, will result
in a heavy republican loss in this
part Of the state.
The negroes at Chickasha pointed
on. McNeal as one of the two men
in the state who had signified his will.
ingness to dine with them, ride in the
same coaches with them, send his chill
dren to the same school with them,
sit in the same waiting rooms with
them, go in the same society with
them, and recognize the right of q
white girl to marry a negro man as
one of the inalienable but unwritten
principles of the republican party. The
idea of white and black children at
tending the same school and playing
"postoffice" is not repugnant to Nc
Neal, but If he has promised the ne
groes that he will stand for repeal
of the Jim Crow law and the separate
school law, he has placed practically
every republican in this part of the
state against him.
The alignment of the socialist lead
ers with McNeal in FL Reno was a
blight 10 the name of the socialist
party in this part of the state. A So
cialist is not a politician in the strict
sense of the term. He stands aloof
from the trickery and Vaccinations
OF politics and breaches his ideas OF
better government from an unadorned
stump and from texts that avoid the
contamination of the common ideas OIL
political undecency. The average So
cialist of McClain county has as little
use for the negro race as has the |
average democrat, albeit he remains
true to the ideals Of his party. But
the average socialist of McClain coun-
ty will not sell his principles to a ne
gro-lover, nor will he vote for a man
