OLD STANDARD OIL CROWD.
Most of the Master Builders Have
Passed Away.

Passed Away.
New York Journal of Commerce.
One by one the stalwarts Of 26 Broad
way are receiving their final summons, and
the younger generation have not yet DEM
onstrated their ability to successfully fill
the gaps. Seven prominent Standard Oil
men have died within the last few years,
so that today onlyr few of those who
were associated with John D. Rockefeller
in the early stages of his career remain at
the helm. Daniel ODay was among the
first to go; the public did not properly APP
preciate the part he played in directing the
great enginery of the Oil trust. H. H.
Rogers, often described as 'the brains of
Standard OIL" died under lamentable cir
cumstances; in financial circles 1t was we'll
known that this rugged financier lost heart
over the events of 1907. w. p. Howe, w
H. Tilford F. Q. Barstow and Philip
Rupect have ell passed away, while this
week James Smith head of the manufac-
turing committee of the Standard oil com
pany, died suddenly at the age of 5S. How
far overwork has been responsible for the
mortality among Standard oil officials can
not be gagged, but those best acquainted
with the facts believe that the strain in
.volved has been a factor in cutting short
the lives of more than one of those here
enumerated

GREAT SALT LAKE.
Force of Its Heavy, Sluggish Waves In
a Strong Gale.

a Strong Gale.
There was recently afforded a
convincing proof of the weight Of
the waters of the Great Salt lake.
A strong gale of wind was blow
ing over the lake and driving its
surface into low, whitecapped
ridges, while along the shore the
foam lay like fiat banks of newly
fallen snow. If that gale had
passed across a lake of fresh water
Of like extent it would unquestion-
ably have produced such an agita-
ton of it's surface that navigation
in small boats would have been diff
fcuIt, if not highly perilous.
But the waters of the Great Salt
lake, although driven into ridges, as
just remarked, showed a curious re-
sistance to the wind, and the waves,
rising to only a slight elevation,
moved with an appearance of leth-
argy that the eye could not but no.
tice.
Yet there was an immense mo-
mentum stored up in those low,
heavy, slowly moving waves. Ven
turing into the water at a point
where the depth did not exceed four
feet, the observer found that it was
impossible to stand against them.
The curious buoyancy of the
water, containing 20 per cent Of
salt in solution, increased the help
lessness of the bather. He was not
submerged, but was lifted and car
ried like a cork.
1t would probably have been i'm
possible to dive through an oncom-
ing wave after the manner prac-
ticed by bathers along the Atlantic
coast. In the Great Salt lake peo-
pie are not drowned through sink
ing, but strangled while still ahoat.
The bitter water may enter the air
passages with fatal effect, but the
body floats until it reaches the shore
or is picked up.-Harper's Weekly.

Queer Ways In Anam.

Nine. Gabrielle M. Vassal, the
wife of French doctor who was at
tached to the Pasteur institute of
Nhatrang, a little village on the
coast of Anam, relates some of her
experiences. When she and her hus-
band arrived at Nhatrang they were
received by the native servants, who
salaamed and squatted on the floor
for long period, this being their
method of greeting Europeans.
Servants had the curious habit Of
washing all dishes under the table,
never on its top. Men and women
dressed alike, wearing trousers and
tunics, and women on the way to
market with their baskets always
walked in single file.

Parasol Ants.

1t was once supposed that the so
called "parasol" ants, living in hot
tropical countries, carried little
leaves about their heads for the sake
of protection from the sun. Later
Investigations have shown that the
ants actually do carry leaves, sus-
pended by the stem, which they hold
in their jaws, and that columns Of
them thus furnished with leaves
like an army with banners march in
regular order, but that the leaves,
instead of being intended to shelter
the ants from the sunshine, are de-
posted around their nests to form
a soil in which grows a kind of fun
gus they are fond of.-St. Louis
Republic.

two and three in bed. And what
beds they were! Once, after q

said, No smoking in the bedrooms

took pencil and scribbled beneath
the notice:

BANKS REFUSE TO PURCHASE
VARIANTS OF BLIND SCHOOL

Oklahoma City, Oct 31-Declaring
that the banks at Sulphur have refused
to purchase any more state warrants
and that the state school for the deaf
in that city must be closed within a
few weeks if some solution of the diff
Guilty cannot be found, A. A. Stewart,
president of the school, yesterday ap-
pealed to Governor Cruce.
Stewart, in letter to the governor
declares that the merchants who furn-
ish supplies for the school have noti-
fled him that they cannot dispose of
the general revenue warrants given
them by the state in payment for their
goods, as the banks will not cash their
paper, and il something is not done
within ten days they must shut off
their supplies.
Governor Cruce yesterday referred
the letter to State Treasurer Robert
Dunlop. Some months ago Dunlop is
sued an ultimatum to banks stating
that he would withdraw state deposits
from any bank seeking to purchase
warrants below par. 1t seems, how
ever, that number of banks in Okla
homa, including some in Oklahoma
City, have refused to purchase state
warrants at any price with the result
that some of the deDartments of state
are being embarrassed.
One official yesterday expressed a
suspicion that a combination has been
formed by certain bankers to force
down the market value of state paper.
A state official, however, who deals
directly with the banks declared yes
terday that no such condition exists
and that only banks which are over
loaded with state warrants are now
refusing to purchase more of them.

GLEN ROGERS OBITUARY.

The Rogers County News has the
following account of the death of Clem
Rogers:
Glenn Vann Rogers was born at the
Baptist mission in the Going Snake
district, January II, 1889, he died Oc-
tober 2S, 1911, at the home of his
daughter. Mrs. Cap Lane, of Chelsea.
Uncle Glen. as he was generally
known here, was a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Rogers, who were some
of the first settlers of Indian Terri
tory His father died when he was
very young and he had no recollection
of him. His mother died in 1885, when
she was thirty-six years of age.
Mr.. Rogers was educated in the COM
mon schools at the Baptist mission,
and also attended the male seminary
at Tahlequah three terms, in 1854 and
1855. He then entered the employ of
Joel Bryan, of Choteau, on Grand
river, and had his first experience at
NAAfAA6 S0hNANt hOlpihS lCthC q nGlu VI

Louis. He then returned to his home
in Going Snake district and his mother
gave him over two hundred head of
cattle, few COW ponies and two negro
boys, with which he embarked in the
cattle business near Oolagah. He met
with excellent success until the Civil
war broke out. when the northern
army captured his stock, and then he
went to Texas. In 1861 he enlisted at
Ft. Gibson, in the First Cherokee regi-
ment. He participated in several en-
gagements and at Cabin creek cap
