A beautiful story from Denver:
George Malone. a Denver policeman,
was called upon to make some arrests
in a neighborhood row. When he
reached the place he found one woman
yelling that she would cut off the heads
of another woman's children. The
other woman was screaming, the chill
dren bowling, and there was the dick
ems to pay. Geo. Malone removed his
helmet, knelt down and prayed for
peace. The women were overcome,
and said Amen to his prayers, and
quiet was restored. A few moments
later, George Malone was walking his
beat in a gentlemanly manner when a
runaway horse came dashing towards
him. He stepped quickly into the mid
die of the street, held up his hand, and
the frenzied horse quieted down, and
George Malone once more resumed his
beat.

MANUFACTURES Of
OKLAHOMA TOWNS
The Census Bureaus Tentative Sum.
mary For 1909.

Washington, D. c., April 19-Pre-
liminary statements of the general re-
|sults of the census of manufactures in
the cities of sMuskogee and Tulsa, for
the year 1909, were issued today by
Census Director Durand. They were
prepared under the direction of Mr..
William NJ. Steuart, chief statistician
for manufacture, bureau of the cen
sus.
Steam laundries are separately pre-
sented because the thirteenth census
was the first in which they were can
vassed, and. therefore, there are no
statistics for prior censuses with
which these totals can be compared.
The figures are tentative and sub
ject to such revision as may be neees-
sary after further examination of
the original reports.
The value Of products represents
their selling value or price at the
plants as actually turned out by the
factories during the census year, and
does not necessarily have any rela-
tion to the amount of sales for that
year. The values under this head also
include the amount received for work
done on materials furnished by others.

LEARNING ABOUT MEXICO.

We are learning more about Mexico
now in a day than ordinarily we would
in Washington Herald
A great deal of the information
about this country circulated in the
northern republic is inaccurate OF
tinged with sensationalism, adds the
Mexican Herald. The most extraordin.
airy interviews are held with the most
ordinary people whose notions of Mex
| ico gathered in brief sojourn here,
are truly fantastic. Public men here
are judged by hotel and smoking com
lpartment gossip, and the widest i'm
taginings are put into type.
But along with all thfs yellow-wash
the foreign reading public is bound
to get serious facts, is going to learn
of the great and varied natural re-
sources of this privileged land, of the
immense investment of outside capital
here which in itself testifies to great
opportunities for matchmaking; in
short, the country is going to be better
known than ever.
Another fact becoming known abroad
is that the rising middle class of this
country is contributing to the serious
political evolution of the nation. This
class may temporarily be misled but
it is thinking deeply and is going to
take, in the immediate future. an i'm
portant part in the conduct of public
affairs. The middle class is the prod.
uct OF favorable economic conditions
and of the public schools, and these
things in turn are the results of the
long peace.
The good things gained since 1877
are not going to be lost; all that is
valuable viii endure, and the nation
will. after the political storm is over,
justify the confidence of its foreign
friends. There is a very real patriot
ism here. and many serious thinking
men, both elements that inspire conf
dence.
These facts We offer as a contribu-
tion to the things that may profitably
be learned about Mexico.-Guthrie

purchased drug store in Vinita and
will soon leave with his family for

disposed of his residence property
here.
By this change Cushing will lose
not only one of its most prominent,
but also one of its best and most
worthy ones. During his long resi-
dence here George Hudson has won the
esteem and friendship of the whole
community. Honorable in the truest
sense of the word, courteous and kind
ly none hesitated to approach him and
to seek his advice. Both he and his
estimable family will be much missed
Mr.. Hudson has been honored by his
fellow citizens with positions of trust
and Importance, time and again and
has always proved faithful. He repre-
sented Payne and Pawnee counties in
the first legislature.
One and all wish him the greatest
success and happiness in his new
