known of the distressing Circumstan.

regret to learn Of the death Thurs.

der, aged fourteen, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lee Kidder, and grandson of
Mr.. and Mrs. Mayne Arnold, of Os-
kaloosa, at the home of the parents
in Pennington, Illinois, after a period
OF eight weeks suffering, the result
of an accident. The boy, with a num-
Der of companions, went to the
woods near his home after hickory
nuts. He climbed high into a large
tree and lowing his weight upon a
dead iimL, VI in b.yi.C. fell to the
ground, a list" re "f forty feet or
more. The lltLle fellows back was
broken and other injuries were sus
tanned. Little hope Tor the recovery
was entertained from the first. but
nothing that loving parents and
friends or medical skill could do was
omitted that might tend to restore
the boy to health. Specialists were
brought to Pennington from the best
institutions in the land and the re-
sources of skilled surgery were ex.
austed in the effort to prolong the
life of the boy. He fought bravely
and with admirable determination
and hope to the last, but the injury
was of such a nature that permanent
recovery was impossible. The spinal
column and parts of the cord had
parted. The boy lived for weeks by
sheer force of will and his struggle
against death was pitiable for those
ferer. DR.. Mayne Arnold went to
Pennington yesterday morning via
the Iowa Central for the funeral.
Mrs. Arnold, who has been i'll at her
home, No. 603 South A street, was
unable to stand the journey and could
not go. Master Alvan Kidder was
known to some extent in Oskaloosa,
having visited here frequently at the
DR.. Mayne Arnold home. He was an
bright and attractive
lad and he made friends everywhere
on account of his spirit and capabil
ity and his manliness under all condi,
tons. His death causes deepest
grief in his home place and among
those who have been in touch with
his young life. T7a. t.s

Crowned May Queen.
During that trip Mrs. Owen spent
the first of May at her Caney ranch
and there her friends gave her May
Day party. Her wheeled chair was
placed on the lawn and she was crown

of roses from bushes that she had
planted in the garden years before.
After she was 60 years of age, Mrs.
Owen took up painting and became
quite notable artist. She painted
many of the notable members of the
Cherokee tribe and her pictures were
widely exhibited. She was a brill.
liant musician and a woman of affairs
who kept her finger on the pulse of

indian Mother Of
United STATES Sen.

MUSKOGEE, Okla, July 21.-One o
the most remarkable women of thu
century passed away when Mrs. Mar
cissa Owen, mother of Senator Rob
ert l.. Owen, died at the home of {
relative at Guthrie Wednesday night
July 20. following an injury received
by fall last April. To a large ex
tent Mrs. Owen had shaped her sons
career and she was one, of the few
persons whom Senator Owen consult
ed in political matters or to whose
opinion he deferred.
Mrs. Owen was Cherokee Indian

tor Owen traces his tribal descent
from the oldest of the seven brothers
who,. according to a Cherokee legend
founded the Cherokee Nation Mrs
Ovens grandfather was John D. CHS
holm. The latter's wife was Peggy
Beamor, one of the three daughters
of Queen Quatsis. of the line of Arma
Kiawhi of the Cherokees and John
Beamor. Through her mother, Mrs.
Owen was related to the first families
of Virginia and Maryland, and in pos
session of Senator Owens family are
several handsome pieces of glass that
belonged to George Washington.
Proud Of Indian Lineage.
But Mrs Owen felt less pride in her
kinship with notable families OF the
United States than in her Cherokee
lineage and her knowledge of Chero-
kee legend and tradition. Before Sc
quoyah invented the Cherokee alpha
bet and the Cherokees had written
language, their history was handed
down in the form of legends and
stories of the tribe. From Queen
Ouatsis of the line of Arma Kalawhi,
or Long Hair. the legendary history
ot the tribe was handed down to her
oreat-granddaughter. and when Mrs.
Owen several years ago wrote the
memoirs of her life she embodied in
the volume more authentic history Of
the Cherokee Nation than can be
found in any other book.
Mrs. Owen was we'll educated. as
were most of the Cherokees, in the
schools which the nation provided.
She married DR.. Robert Latham Owen

ASSESSED VALUATION
OF COUNTY INCREASED
TAXES LEVIED BY COUNTY WILL
ALSO BE A TRIFLE
HIGHER
Board of Equalization Has Nearly
Completed Its Work for This Year
at the Court House.

The county commissioners. sitting
as a board of equalization. have about
completed their work for the cur
rent year and the assessed valuation
of Emrleigh county for this year sums
up to about 100000 higher than it
was a year ago The total assessed
valuation this year in round figures
amounts to $6,20O,0OO. while a year
ago it was estimated at an even
100000. The per cent of taxes that
will be levied is trifle higher, but
The difference in valuation will par
TALLY offset this.
The city commission. which has
been sitting as city board of equali-
zation have found that the tital as
sessed valuation of the city is about
the same as year ago, in round fig
ures about 81 $4,000. So there will
be very little difference in the taxes
of next year so far as the city is con.
cerned.

CURIOUS HAPPENINGS

LONDON, July 21.-For the first
time in the history of the criminal
courts Of England skilled analyst
has been able to say positively that
the stains found on the clothes of a
prisoner were made of human blood.
, and not only that, but that the blood
was from an anaemic person.
In many murder trials the guilt or
innocence of prisoner has turned on
the evidence of the analyst. who here
tofore was unable to swear positively
whether the stains were made by
mammalian or human blood. The
point came up in the Crippen case,
and it was then said that science was
at work on the subject and a success

anticipated.
In the case in question a man was
charged with killing a woman and
when arrested stains were found on
his clothes. DR.. Wilcox the govern
ment analyst who was a witness in
the Crippen case. stated in evidence

him to say that the blood was human
and that it came from an anaemic per-

! departure, seemed rather pleased with
his prospective trip. He first visits
Turkey doubtless to see what the Ger
mans have done with the Turkish SOL
der. Then he goes to Berlin for an
audience with the emperor. and from
there to St. Petersburg. His host in
the Russian capital is to be General
Stoessel. who defended Port Arthur
against Nogi, and who was court-mar-
tailed for surrendering. The last time
the two warriors met was on the day
the Russian flag was hauled down and
Stoessel handed his sword to the man
who he has now invited to visit bis
home The meeting must be an inter.
esting one.
General Nogi is also anticipating
with much pleasure an audience with
Emperor Nicholas. Both he and nd
miral Togo were very popular in Lon
don and received ovations wherever
they went They were among the few
who drove to the coronation ceremony
at Westminster Abbey in an open car
rage and were cheered all along the
route. Admiral Togo is quiet and has
little to say even to his own country
men. General Nogi on the other hand
is a good companion, and talked con-
tinuously of what he had seen and
hoped to see.
Diplomats are beginning to wonder
whether there will ever be an end to
the negotiations over the various Chi
nese loans. They got the railway loans
off their hands and thought there was
nothing more to be said about the
Manchurian loan. Lately, however, It
has again cropped up in the dispatch
bags. Japan and Russia objected to
the clause that provided that in future
loans the countries supplying the
money in this instance should be given
the first option. Russia and Japan
thought that established a monopoly,
and the ambassadors in London COM
planned to the foreign office.
1t has been pointed out that such a
clause is put in all loan agreements,
and is usual business arrangement
No formal answer has been given as
yet, but it is believed that steps will
be taken by the interested powers to
allay the feeling in Japan and Russia
that they are being shut out OF any
loan transactions in China.
