Lajoie is hitting the ball harder this

and the prediction is made that the
big Frenchman will lead the league
this year Lajoie is said to be much
lighter than he has been in recent
years. and with the worry of handling
the team shifted to Jim McGuire's
shoulders, he is playing much better
ball. What is more, Mcclure Is not
allowing Lajoie to play the hit-and-
run game as persistently as he used
to, thus handicapping his hitting, for
on most occasions he had to hit at
bad ball. Now Lajoie just waits for
what he wants and wallops. and he Is

Tho Mystery Of 4 Duel.

Having fought his duel and saved
his honor by firing a shot in the air.
the editor of a French provincial
newspaper went back to his desk and
the incident had quite left his mind
when he felt something strange in
his thigh. He looked and found that
he was bleeding profusely.
A doctor was called, who discov-
cred that a bullet was embedded in
the editors thigh some two inches
deep and required extraction. why
was this not taken notice OF on the
spot where the duel took placer"
he asked. The editor was as much
in the dark as the doctor. At the mo-
ment Of the duel he had fired into
the air and his adversary also took
distracted sort Of aim. There had
evidently been no intention of doing
the slightest harm on either SIDE
The editor felt nothing as he left
the field and had shaken hands with
his antagonist as sign of reconcilia-
ton. How a bullet came to be lodged
in his thigh was simply one of the
mysteries Of dueling.

for . protective duty on lead, which
was largely produced in Missouri. In
this he made tie mistake that has
been made by so many senators and
congressman Of this day. who say they
oppose protection, but vote for pro-
lection on the products Of their own
states. thereby placing themselves in
the position Of not being able to sue
cessfully question the Justice of the
demand Of those in other states for
larger share Of protection for them
selves.

Fought United States Bank.
Jackson's greatest battle was
against the United States bank which
he declared must either be put out of
business or 1t would run the govern
ment. Benton led this fight in tho
senate. He brought up the question
in 1881 by submitting a resolution to
the effect that 1t was not expedient to
re-charter the bank. The war against
the bank ragged fiercely for years. It
had many powerful adherents and OBJ
tanned the support of a number of
members of congress, as was shown
later by investigation, through what
amounted to brazen bribery in tho
way Of favoritism on loans. In the
mi LIST of the fight the presidential elec-
ton Of 1892 took place and Jackson
was triumphantly reelected. Shortly
after this Jackson made an order with
drawing the public funds from the
bank. This precipitated tremendous
public uproar and the senate adopted
| resolution censuring Jackson for
the act. Benton Immediately began a
fight to expunge this resolution from
the record. and finally. in the last days
Of the Jackson administration, the mo-
tion prevailed amidst great excitement
and the resolution of censure was ex-
plunged by having black border
drawn around it and across it's face
the words: "Expunged by order of the
! senate, January 1C. 1897" Jackson

senators to vote accordingly. Benton
denounced this resolution as treason
able and refused to obey 1t. He said
It did not represent the sentiment of
the people of the state and he appealed
from the Missouri legislature to the
Missouri people. The struggle was bit
ter and intense. As Benton was up
for reelection. 1t being the close Of
his fifth term as senator. the effort
was to control the legislature which
was to elect the senator for the fol.
lowing term. Neither side obtained .
majority of the members and a dead
lock resulted to be broken by the anti
Benton Democrats combining with the
Wings and bringing about Benton's
defeat.
The old warrior was not dismayed
and kept up the fight In 1852 he was
sent to the lower house of congress
from st. Louis as q Union Democrat.
For thirty years he had been absolute
dictator in the politics Of Missouri
His word was final. and his wishes
law, but the tide had turned, and for
the remaining years Of his life set
steadily against him. Yet at no time
in his career does Benton present a
more inspiring figure than when. with
his back to the wall. crowded on every
side by foes, he continued to battle for
the principles he believed In. By COM
promising and by trucking to the pub
lie sentiment of his state he could
have regained his seat in the senate.
but he would have lost the love and
admiration due the brave man who
prefers defeat with the right to VIC
tory with what he considers wrong.
Benton's mannerisms were marked
and did not tend to make him popular
with the masses. He seemed egotis-
tical to the point Of absurdity. yet in
him it was merely exaggerated self
respect. To the casual observer stern
and pompous, he was gentle and ten
der-hearted to those who knew him
well. His public and private life we're
above reproach. His high sense of
honor as a public servant. his incor-
ruptible integrity. his unwavering ad-
herence at whatever cost to the prin-
ciples he believed in. his powerful in
tellect and his aggressive energy CON-
bined to make him a fighter eminently
qualified to lead and represent the
militant people of the West in the first
half of the last century.
He was defeated for reelection to
the house in 1854, and in 1856 became
: the candidate of the Union Democrats
for governor. and ran third in the
race. He was now "a years old. but as
vigorous and robust as ever. Without

gratitude, he cheerfully took up the

SOME COUNTY OFFICERS
TO SERVE LONGER TERMS

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 15.-As the re-
suit of an unusual combination of stat
utes the county treasurers and county
superintendents elected at the general
election this fall will be let to serve six
months longer than the other county
Officers elected at the same time.
The last legislature provided that
the terms of the treasurers and super
intendents elected this fall should ex-
pire on the first Monday in July, 1918,
making it so that the change will
come at the end of the fiscal and eda-
cational year, instead of in the middle
of it, as at the present time. The
schedule of the constitution provides,
however, that the terms of the first set
of county officers elected under state
hood should expire on the second Mon
day in January, 1911, so that the new
ly elected officers will take their places
at the usual time and also enjoy the
extension in time provided by the new
law.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct IL
Two hundred cars came into the quar-
antine cattle division here last week,
and among the shipments were a num-
Der of big strings of good steers. The
Russell interests in the Usage are
shipping some good steers, 1925 to HOO
lbs, which are selling at $40 to $50.
The market held ABOUT steady last
week on steers, COWS closed little
stronger, calves % cents lower. The
run today is 40 cars in quarantine
division, and total supply of cattle
here today is several thousand head
short of recent Mondays. Kansas
shipments are dropping off, and the
quarantine run is decreasing rapidly
Run from the range states is at it's
maximum now, so that cattle run
should be smaller from now on, sand
with little cooler weather prices should
advance little. Demand from the
country is extraordinary, shipments to
country points from here last week
1854 car loads, containing 5000 cat
tie. The quarantine market is steady
today, and some fed steers at $7.O5
and $3.50 were feature sales in that
division today. These cattle were fed
at Welch. Some more of the Russell
cattle are here today, at $40 to $3.50,
and other poorer quality steers
brought $4.25 to $3.50, COWS at $3.50
to $500, best calves lately $3.50 to
$3.50, choice veals worth $500, bulls
$3.50 to $3.50.
For change the hog market made
an advance last week, about 10 cents,
the first gain for four weeks. The
run continues extra slim, $4,000 here
last week, with small signs of any
material increase. Supply today is
$500 head, market strong to 10 higher,
after an attempt of the packers to get
them cheaper early this morning. Buy
ers have been pounding heavy hogs
lately, and boosting the premium on
lights, in an effort to entice more light
hogs to market, and to discourge the
present practive of owners to make
big weights. A year ago now heavy
hogs were selling quarter above the
lights, while the reverse is the case
now Heavy weights today at $3.50 to
$3.50, medium $8.75 to $9.05, lights
$3.50 to $9G5.
Sheep and lambs held up about
steady last week, receipts $4,000 head.
Big runs all around today, $4,000 here,
have demoralized sheep prices today,
the market off 15 to 25 cents. Best
lambs today brought $685., feeding
lambs at $3.50 to 5000. Aged sheep
and yearlings held steady today year
lings worth up to $5.25, wethers $3.50,
ewes $400. Feeding Wethers bring
$3.50 to $440, practically the same as
killing grades. In lambs there is a
fair margin between the killers and
feeders. Receipts are likely to drop
off any time now, and the market will
recover some.

FRIENDLY SUIT
Legal Points Involved Attract Much
Interest in Case to Be Presented
to Judge Brown This Week.

The case of L. F. Parker VS.. Paul E.
Rowsey, while a friendly suit, will at
tract much interest, because of the
legal questions involved. The case
will be presented to Judge Brown this
week.
The suit is the result of the will of
Jane Patton, who died at Muskogee
about a year ago. Mrs. Patton by will
conveyed a one-third interest in all
her property to DR.. B. F. Fite and e.
/. Halsell for Paul Rowsey, when he
shall have reached the age of twenty
one years, but made no provision in
the will for the income of the estate or
granted the guardians any authority
to do anything with it, except to hold
it.
The question arises as to whether,
in the absence of such provision, the
disposition in trust is not void, being
in violation of the common law and
the Oklahoma statutes against mac
tive or dry trusts"
Judge Parker bought the Patton
farm adjoining this city, with full
knowledge of this provision and know
ing that friendly suit would be insti-
Ituted. 1t will also dispose of the
question involving the remaining two
thirds of the property of Jane Patton
in Oklahoma, North Carolina and
Georgia.
If the trust is valid a deed must be
made by Fite and Halsell as the guar
dians of the Rowsey. If the trust is
invalid the property goes direct to
Paul Rowsey, free from any trust and
the deed will have to be made by the
father as the natural guardian, through
the regular probate procedure.
