Simon B. Nichols. the clever young
shortstop Of the Athletic club, was born
at Gernaptown. Md, July IL, 1882. He
was a prominent player at Maryland

fined himself to amateur playing until
the summer of 1905. when he accepted

FEDERAL CIRCUIT COURT QUITS
JANUARY 1.
Suits on File viii he Transferred to
the Federal District Court.

on January I, the United States
circuit court in Oklahoma, and about
sixty-five similar courts in the United
States will be abolished.
The suits now on file in the cir
cult court here will be transferred
to the district court. and hereafter
all federal business will be under the
head of the United States district
court.
This will bring about practically no
change in the eastern district of Ok
lahoma, of which Muskogee is the
seat of government except that i. g.
Disney will go out of office, and his
office will be taken over by X. =.
Harrison, clerk of the United States
court.
There will be no change in the
clerks in the office here. none Will
be dismissed, and the old clerks will
be retained.
The only noticeable change WI be
the separation of l.. G.. Disney from
his fat job. Diz has not yet deter
mined what he is going to do. but
the first thing will be to go to Coz
gate and help Ed Perry pull of; a re-
publican congressional convention.

nLoNDus ARE DISAPPEARING
Archbishop Glcnnon Gives Reasons
for Prevalence of BruncttcS.

Woman's National Weekly,
That blondes win grow fewer in the
United States in the next 100 years,
and that they will continue to exist
longer in the smoky cities than any
here else, is theory of whose cor
r,ctness Archbishop Glennon has be-
come convinced. He discussed 1t in
celebrating ON his smoke talk Of
few days ago before the city club of
Milwaukee.
"The theory isn't mine" he has
tened to explain. AN eastern scien-
tist has worked it out in much detail,
but have studied it carefully, and it
seems very plausible"
It might seem that smoke would
make daSk compleXions rather than
! light ones, but the archbishops theory
shows clearly that hydrogen peroxide
and pink complexion powder will have
to make their last stand as CONNER
cial staples in cities whore the smoke
inspector has accomplished the least.
ut Is this way" said Archbishop
Glennon. "The white rays of sunlight
are much harder on light persons than
on dark ones. In the case of light
persons the rays affect the nerve cen
ters. Persons of dark complexion
have pigment under their skin which
gives protection from these rays, and
therefore they are better qualified tC
live in sunlight country such as
this Is.
"The most favorable countries FOL
blondes, and the countries where they
are most found are the British Isles
Germany, Scandinavia and Russia
These countries have a softer sun
light. In southern Europe the peo-
pie are brunettes, and are used to
living in the sun. The sun rays hit
these countries more directly and not
at such an acute angle.
"ln other words, the sun tends tc
destroy the blond type, and thus to
make brunettes predominant. wherever
the sun shines much Of the time. But
city people are protected from It by
their indoor life, and in some cities
also by the smoke cloud This tends
to develop an anemic race"

in touch with iails in various places
for over thirty years. that the Tulsa

The holdover part of the jail IS
where all fresh" prisoners are taken
They are kept there until after trlai'
The holdover is not very inviting
although it is clean.
But in the part of the jail where
the regulars are kept things are hlce-
