NEGROES SEIZED
OKLAHOMA TRAIN
Excitement Over Burning Of Black
Who Assaulted White Woman.
ARMED BLACKS GATHER At CANEY
Trouble Started at caddo, Where
Woman's AssaiIant Lived
Whites Order Negroes to
Leave.

Durant, Ok, Aug. 15.-Reports that
a white woman had been assaulted
and killed by q negro near Halsell
and that rs armed negroes had cap
tured a southbound Missouri. Kansas
& Texas freight train. headed for
Durant, following closely the death OF
Mrs. Redeem Campbell, as the result
Of an assault by negro, and the kill
ing Of her slayer and burning Of his
body, threw this section Of the coun-
try into q fever Of excitement.
kilograms were received bearing
the signature Of the conductor on the
freight train, which said the train
had been captured by armed blacks,
and hundreds Of armed men met the
train at Caddo, only to learn that
negroes got of at Caney, the arst sta
ton north. Five hundred men armed
themselves in Durant and prepared to
meet the train when 1t arrived here.
Conductor ]. r. MCGEE Of the train
says the negroes from Durant and
Caddo are gathering at Caney.
At Caddo. Ok, trouble started as
soon as 1t was learned that the negro
who attacked Mrs. Campbell had
been burned. The negro who killed
her is said to have lived in Caddo,
and there that race is said to COM
prise the majority Of the population.
As soon as friends hearS OF the
death of Mrs. Campbell's assailant'
there was talk of organizing and seek
ing revenge. To forestall this the
white men of Caddo Immediately
formed into a posse and posted signs
warning all negroes in town to leave
that place before Saturday night. The
negroes started leaving at once.
All negroes also have left Durant
but 1t is said that blacks from other
towns are preparing to open up a
fight upon the white people OF this
section. Many small towns through
out this district of Oklahoma are
populated nearly entirely by negroes
and in a larger number Of towns the
population Of whites and blacks are
equal.

VENUS A GRAND SIGHT
in THE WESTERN SKY.

at might be interesting to
known" said the amateur astrono-
mer, that when you are sitting on
the porch tonight after supper, en-
joying the most beautiful sight OF
the blazing Venus in the western sky,
you will be seeing the planet at the
height of her summer glory. To-
nights the night for Venus, and
make no mistake. This is the date
on which she dresses herself up in
her greatest glory, and II the sunset
Is not jealous of her, and If the
sky is anywhere near as gorgeous In
its tints as 1t has been for the last
few days, the people who look west
ward will see this evening one of
the most beautiful combinations of
stellar beauty and sunset glow ever
permitted to human beings.
"The planet will soon leave the
evening sky, you see, and will move
in majestic circle into the morning
darkness. 1t begins now to move
slowly southwark and will turn grad
ually to the east.
Astronomers will tell you that
this eastward movement stops about
the twenty-first of the month. After
that date Venus will make dive
behind the sun, and after aiding
behind the big disc will be in the
class with the morning stars. So
that is why she is giving grand
farewell blaze Of glory this evening.
1t will undoubtedly be worth while
watching her.
Gas Venus leaves the evening sky
and approaches nearer the earth, a
telescope investigation will show
that she gets swelled up little with
her Importance, for she appears a
little more than full grown. How
ever, the rest of the armament VIII
not stand for that very long, and
as Venus is driven away from the
earth little by little, the sun shines
only on a part of her, therefore she
is nothing but a sunlit crescent, and
gradually very thin silver rim shows
where once the elegant Venus sport
ed all her glory. However, she'll
come back, in all senses of the term.
"Once in a long time Venus gets

within eight degrees of it this year,
passing below the sun. She will poIt

HUDSON TOWN ROW" REVIVED
Little Town In Kansas 5eglns Anew
HostlIltles over Gift Of Beer by
Business Man.

Topeka, Aug. 15.-The town row in
the little Stafford county town OF
Hudson has broken out again. W. W.
Hall, a hardware dealer, who never
drinks, is said to have given some
friends some beer one evening re-
Gently.
H. B. Albertson, editor of the Hud-
son Patriot, is also police judge and
he had Hall brought before him. Hall
pleaded guilty to dispensing the beer
and was fined $25.
Hudson is German settlement
where nearly everyone drinks beer
and the original row, which resulted
in the custer proceedings against the
mayor and marshal of Hudson, and
their subequent resignation from Of
fee resulted from Albertson's inter
ference with beer parties. All Of the
merchants withdrew their advertise
ments from Albertson's paper, but
that failed to have any effect on his
crusade.

high voltage electric wires running
10 the clubhouse and In a minute the
canvas and oil covered wood Of the
planes were on Are. McCurdy leaped
out. but was uninjured. The plane
fell a few feet further, but too late
Tor the Are to be extinguished.
The charged wires, cut by the
plane, dangled over the free seats in
which were 10000 persons. A Gordon

electricians repaired the damage and
Ensured safety In the seats.
Simon, the Frenchman, had trouble
most Of the afternoon with the engine
While flying over the water mile
from shore, the engine stopped and
the plane glided into the lake.
Simon, carrying for life preserver
m inflated motor tire, was In no i'm

from the hydro aeroplane which had
been flying near, he refused to leave
his machine. With the help OF the
hydro aeroplane, Simon's plane was
started and left the water success

this time overturning. Guards in a
motor boat who rushed to rescue
Simon found him perched on the re-
mains Of his plane, smoking. He
was taken ashore in the motor boat
and the aeroplane was towed in.
Lee Hammond fell nearly 300 feet

SALAD WITH CHEESE
MANY WAYS 1T MAY BE SERVED
TO SUIT THE TASTE.
Every Variety Has It's Especial Form
Glass Topped Dishes With Sill
yer Bases the Delight of
= up-to-Date Hostess.

AS well imagine Punch without
Judy as salad without cheese. It's alb
sence makes the best mayonnaise or
French dressing wanting in flavor.
The hostess without Imagination
accepts the salad and cheese dictum,
but does not glorify it. There are
housekeepers who buy cakes Of cream
cheese-pineapple, Edam, Roquefort,
Gorgonzola, Brie, even the common
american product-and then, serve
the choice of the family year in and
out
It is cut in the square chunks,
passed on the same plate with the
same water thin, butter thin or sailed
wafer IN dreary monotony.
Variety IS the spice Of salad as
well as Of life, and great is the variety
in which cheese can masquerade.
If taste is conservative and the fam
lily win not eat but one kind Of
cheese, then vary the service. Fas-
cinating are the new servers. There
are silver incrusted glass jars with
heavily monogramed lids of silver to
beautify the porcelain jars that hold
certain cheese. They come in all
sizes, and there are cheese scoops In
proportion.
For large cheese that last for days
there are special glass-topped dishes
with silver base to pIevent drying out.
Some tops are of rock crystal. others
entirely of chased silver; again, glass
with silver overlay.
The Edam cheese is much more ap-
petizing in its silver holder Of mar
row prongs and broad base, with
deep silver scoop to match, than II
served with its hard red rind on an
ordinary plate. Just here the thought;
ful hostess has portions of the cheese
loosened in the shell, as, manipulating
the scoop at a crowded table is not
easy.
Cheese balls, cheese squares, the
cheeses passed whole and cut with a
special cheese-knife, like Brie and
Gorgonzola, have special fat dishes
dedicated to their service. Sometimes
they are of rock crystal, more often
of crystals with silver rim or deep
silver border, or their special plat
tiers IN plain silver with open work
border. Always there is the long
handled cheese fork to facilitate
service.
Crackers are passed separately. but
some hostesses prefer the compart-
ment dish made to accompany the
salad course. This comes In rich
China, especially in Dresden; also in
chased silver. Some have q handle,
like basket, others are ON pedestals
like q divided -nannnnta-----
