All Seams Allowed.

There is not much chance to make
decorative dresses for young girls, for
the addition OF much ornament Is apt to
give them the appearance Of being over
dressed, and this is the worst style pos
sible. We have succeeded in finding a
design which is quite decorative and yet
will not seem too much so. The waist
is a simple model with tucks at the
shoulders and a small pointed yoke.
Over the front is placed plastron with
the edges scalloped, and this continues
in the back as a bertha around the
small yoke. The sleeves have caps,
scalloped like the plastron, and below
them is soft pun ending in deep cuff.
The skirt of this dress has pleats rum
ming all around it, and Is cut in one
piece. Over this is a tunic with points
in front and also in the back. The tunic
may be omitted and complete skirt will
remain underneath. This dress will be
very handsome in foulard or pongee silk
and 1t will also make up well in brill
liantine, Panama, taffeta linen, etc. The
pattern is cut in sizes IA, 16 and Is years.
To make the dress in the medium size
will require 9h yards of material 90
inches wide.

Davis, Okla, July ia lease
was made today by Mr.. c. l.. Nc
CURE, of this place, to Messrs Aug
ustine and Cochran, of sole very
valuable zinc lands in the Arbuckle
zinc field.
Augustine and Cochran are large
operators in the Kansas zinc fields.
They contracted to begin work on
the land Immediately to construct
a two hundred ton zinc reducing
will within ninety days.
This field has been worked indif-
ferently with inexperienced help and
has been rather slow to come to
the notice Of men of means suffi-
cient to erect modern machinery and
plants to make a success of the
venture.
This is only one of many impor
tant concerns that will take hold
OF this field in the near future.
There IS beyond any doubt large
quantities of low grade are that
will require machinery to work ii
and reduce the ore before it will
be profitable to ship.
G. w. Benge of Tahlequah is
now in the fieli looking for leases
and possible location for plant.

WANTS VIM. LOEB
TO Be GOVERNOR
TAFT URGES COLLECTOR OF
POST OF NEW YORK TO TAKE
UBERNATORIAL NOMINATION
HE PREFERS PRESENT JOB
But Tells Taft He Will Give Con
sent II is Becomes Absolutely
Necessary - President Believes
Loeb Will Unite Divided Elements.

Beverly, Mass, July 12.-William
Loeb, Jr., collector Of the port OF
New York, frankly told President
Taft today that he would rather re-
main at his post in the customs
service than to run for governor
of New York this fall. This presi-
dent as frankly told Mr.. Loeb that
the republican nomination seemed
to be coming mis- way and that it
would take more than a fishing trip
to the Rocky Mountains 10 stop it.
The former secretary to President
Roosevelt left Beverly for New
York this Afternoon, leaving the i'm
preston here that if it became alb
solutely necessary for him TO take
the republican nomination he would
do so and make it a whirlwin1 cam
paign.
The mention OF the New York
situation was Incidental to talk Oh
general politics between the presi-
dent and Mr. Loeb.
Mr. Taft is not interfering in the
New York situation in any way.
He and Mr.. Loeb are the closest
| friends and whenever Mr.. Loeb's
name has been mentioned 10 the
president in connection with the
/ New York governorship he always
has enthusiastically approved the
suggestion.
The collector discussed New York
state politics with the president
and made no attempt to conceal the
more serious aspects of the situa-
ton from the republican point OF
view Te expressed again the belief
however, that the republicans would
get together and that the splits in
their party would be offset by di
visions in the democratic ranks. Mr.
Taft believes that Mr.. Loeb would
probably attract support from more
elements OF the party than an.
other man.
Aside from the New York stu
alton the tariff came in for a share
of consideration at today's confer
ence. Both the president and Mr.
Loeb believe that the tariff commits

crops, as whole, are better than
ever before. All of these reports 90
to show that business conditions in
Oklahoma are in safe and sound
condition.
The bank deposits in Oklahoma City
have held their own during the sum.
mer months, and the decrease during
the month of June from the amount
of the previous month, is slight. The
deposits of the Kansas City banks
have decreased more than $4,000 900
since the last report, said one Okla
homa City banker, and in Oklahoma
-ity, the deposits decreased but a
/ few thousand dollars.
/ In view of the fact that a great de-
mand for money will be made within
the next three weeks, in order that
the crops may be moved properly, the
state banks have been conservative
with their reserve funds, while banks
in other western states have failed
10 keep as large a per cent of their de.
posits for the reserve fund as the
banks of Oklahoma. The largest re.
serve in the west is 80 per cent. which
is in Oklahoma. The local banks usu-
ally keep from 80 per cent to 30 per
cent as reserve.

able 20 suppose that the output for
this year will be as great as it was
last. which, according 20 the reports
OF last year. would show a cash value
OF s50.c00.0OO. The prospects for
corn, barring a few places. is good at
this time, but OF course will have to
have more rain before a cr-p is as
suIed. Broom corn. however, is in
good condition, and buyers are in the
field offering from 500 TO 1925 per
ton for the new crop. The reports
show that c.tton in Oklahoma heads
the list in the percentage of cOndt
tion, and, as it stands a great deal
OF dry weather. a fair crop al this
time can be counted upon. Taking
last year as a basis. il would be fair
to conclude that there would be 9O0,-
900 bales. which at S65.OO per bale
for both seed and cotton, would net
the farmers OF this state the immense
sum Of s5S 10000
Taking all of this into considera-
ton. the only question to consider at
this time is the question of getting

banks OF the state 70 provide the nee
essary funds On account of the gen.
eral prosperity Of the southwest, there
has been a great demand for funds
from all lines OF business. and most
Of the banks find themselves with
more loans than usual at this season

crop, it will be necessary TO draw in
for time loans placed in other lines,
and use the same for the purpose @

There is not the remotest possibil-

comptroller of the currency shows
with few exceptions, a comfortable
cash reserve and plenty of actua
money in the state. Taking every
thing into consideration. / am of the
opinion that the year 1910 will be one

REMARKABLE INCIDENTS IN LIFE 0HDR B. c. HYDE
CHARGED WITH POISONING HIS W|FE'S UNCLE

Long before suspicion pointed to
DR.. Bennett Clark Heide, charged
at Kansas City with the murder of
Col. Thos. Swope, the millionaire,
Hyde's friends, having in mind the
Stevenson story of dual personality.
Or. Jekyll and Mr.. HYDE" we're
wont to jest him on the vice versa
coincidence of his name.
Hyde was the incarnation of evil
in the Stevenson story, while Jekyll
was the generous and noble doctor.
'Dr. Hyde" therefore suggested by
antipodes "Mr. Jekyll' for the Kan
sas City Hyde was doctor, and
he was often jokingly asked as tc
his other self, "Mr. Jekyll." He al
ways laughingly entered into the
spirit of what was long a mere quip.
but which in recent years has been
an increasingly sinister coincidence,
eliminating in the direct charges
which involve a duality of person
ality.
1t was Is years ago that Bennett
Clark Hyde, then hardly more than
a STRIPPING, was appointed police
surgeon by Mayor Webster Davis.
DR.. Hyde entered upon his new du-
ties modestly and no fault was
found with the manner in which he
performed them for six months.
Then Mrs. A. E. Otterson brought
charges of malpractice against him.
Her husband had fallen from
house and had broken his arm. Of
terson was taken to the emergency
hospital, where he was treated by
Dr. Hyde. Whether the arm was
improperly set or not, the fact is
that it had to be amputated a few
days afterward, and Otterson died.
Charges were filed by the widow,
but expert testimony by fellow
practitioners of DR.. Hyde exoner-
ated him.
A few months afterward &C.
Cured an incident which was
wholly discreditable to DR.. Hyde
A young negress named Annie
Clements made several successive
attempts to commit suicide, anu
was treated by DR.. Hyde after
each attempt. Becoming exasper-
ated at the frequency of these de-
mands upon his services, though
he was paid to perform just such
services, DR.. Hyde injected oil of
mustard, and the woman fled
screaming through the streets.
DR.. Hyde looked upon the matter
as a huge joke, but so inhuman
was the treatment to which the
woman was subjected that the po-
lice commissioners ordered Dr.
Hyde's removal.
In October, 1898. there oc-
Cured some unusually bold grave
rObberies, and DR.. Hyde's name
was connected with them, though
no formal charges were ever made
against him, and he was innocent
of them SO far as any records go.
However, the police searched his
rooms for a stolen body.
An interval of several years
elapsed after the grave robbery
cases before the news of DR..
Hyde's engagement to Miss
Frances Swope of independence,
niece of the late millionaire, Col
Thos. H. Swope, was quickly fol-
lowed by the filing Of a breach
of promise suit for $4,000
against him by Mrs. Sarah Frank,
who also demanded the return of
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-02-19

$4,000 which she alleged she had
loaned him on condition that he
would marry her. The money
was the proceeds of her late hus-
bands life insurance policy. A
settlement out of court was made,
DR.. Hyde paying a portion of the
money he had borrowed"
On the heels of this case, how
ever, came another, the plaintiff in
this action being Mrs. Mike Helm,
who had recently been divorced
from young Kansas City brewer,
son of the late Ferd Helm. Mrs.
Helm claimed that DR.. Hyde had
promised to marry her and had
borrowed $4,000 from her. Again
the case was settled out of court,
DR.. Hyde paying Mrs. Helm $2100.
These two cases interrupted only
for short time his courtship with
Miss Frances Swope. Mrs. Logan
o. Swope, the girls mother, formed
q decided aversion to DR.. Hyde, and
all the old records of the past were
raked up against him, but nothing
could alter the determination of
Miss Swope to marry the doctor.
Her mother sent her away to school
for year. Col Swope was APP
pealed to, but he treated the matter
rather as joke. Nevertheless he
gave his sister the money to send
the girl away to Europe for a year.
she refused to go, and her mother
sent her to visit her grandparents
in Virginia. Thither DR.. Hyde fol-
lowed her, and the first thing the
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-02-19


mother knew the marriage had
taken place.
The young couple returned to
Kansas City and for several months
the estrangement between the
mother and daughter continued. But
DR.. Hyde's devotion to Mrs. Swope's
son, ThoS. SwOpe, Jr., when he was
severely injured, healed the breach.
DR.. Hyde attended the young man
and nursed him as tenderly as
though he had been his own son.
No physician was ever gentler or
more patient that was DR.. Hyde, a
very DR.. Jekyll in this case. Young
Swope's arm had to be amputated,
and DR.. Hyde performed the oper-
alton with consummate skill, nurs-
ing the young man back to health
afterwards.
About eight months ago Col.
Swope gave DR.. and Mrs. Hyde
$4,000, with which they built a
pretty home at 1916 Forest avenue,
and gave them another substantial
sum with which to furnish it. Mrs.
Hyde was also left about $4,000
in her uncle's will, so that the for.
tune of the Hyde's is estimated to
be in the neighborhood of 5000, 900
The remarkable events in the
Swope' family began on Oct. /
when Jas. Moss Hunton, cousin OF
Col Swope, died. Two days later
the colonel died rather suddenly
but it was not until after Thanks
giving day that suspicion raised its
head.
