CHARACTER SHOWS IN BACKS
Straight and Upright Carriage Means
You Are Determined, Energetic
and Reliable.

II your back is straight and upright
you are correspondingly straight in
your conduct. You will hold your head
up, for you are not afraid to look the
world in the face.
Even when you're sitting you keep
your back straight. There is an air OF
real strength about you-both physical
and mental. in short, you have plenty,
OF backbone. You are determined, en-
ergetic and to be relied upon.
II your back Is STOPPING and round
ed you are creature as weak as you
look, you are prone to lolling about
and too lazy or too feeble to take
front rank in the battle Of life. The
tramp Is an excellent example.
II you are criminal, your back is
stopped or round, but the scholarly
Etoop of the bookworm must not be
confounded with the foregoing. There
is a difference which is ditlcult 70 de-
scribe, but It is readily recognized by,
the close observer.
II you are mean and covetous your
back is narrow and rounded and your.
shoulders are high. You are sly
very sly. You generally have the ap-
pearance of drawing yourself up into
as small compass as possible. You
are always yourself, so TO speak,
and people should give you the cold
shoulder.
Are you too straight backed? That ia
do you hold your head SO high that
there is a preposterous fall in the
small of your back? Then you are so
pufed up with self-esteem that you
carry your chest out so far it's an
Eurd.

GENERAL MORGAN
Oklahoma Woman Says She is
Daughter of the Confederate
Raider.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 30.-Declaring
that she is a daughter of Gen. John II.
Morgan, the noted Confederate cavalry
leader and nead of "Morgan's Raiders"
Mrs. L. f. Larue of Cherokee, in ad-
dressing the reunion of old soldiers
there yesterday, told them that Cen
eral Morgan, living under the name of
DR.. John M. Cole, died in old Indian
Territory in 1899 and is buried near
Wan, Okla. Civil war history says
that General Morgan was killed at
New Greenville, Tenn, on September
4, 1864, after sensational escape from
the Ohio state penitentiary.
Mrs. Larue says she frequently heard
the story from her father. He was
assisted in escaping by members of a
fraternal order, went to Marion coun.
ty, Kansas, and took the name of Cole.
He married Miss Maggie Cutter and
they lived in western Arkansas and
the Cherokee Indian Nation. Mrs.
Larue's mother died in 1878 and two
years later her father married Miss
Reardon of Southwest City, Mo. He
practiced medicine in the Cherokee
Nation until his death in 1899.
Mrs. Larue says her brother, John H.
Cole, son of the Confederate raider,
lives near Sallisaw, Okla. She has nu-
merous relics that are supposed to
have belonged to General Morgan, in
cluding tintype of him taken at Null
drow, |. T., many years after the war.

about is not quoted in Kansas City as
they do not give prices on grain that

To Hunt Lion That Steals Their Cattle

Okesa, Okla. Aug. 30.-Citizens OF
this place and farmers near here are
greatly alarmed over the appearance
of huge mountain lion that has been
seen in several different places. Dave
Allen, who lives on lease 1876, says
that the animal has killed a number of
his hogs and chickens and C. e.
Squires says two of his cattle have
been killed by the animal. Tracks in
the soft dirt in the road where the
lion crossed show that it's feet are al
most four inches across. People do
not leave their homes unless they are
armed, and none go out at night. 1t
is the belief that the animal strayed
from the Ozark hills in Missouri.
Posses have been formed and will
hunt the woods for the animal.

Law PROCLAIMED IN
STRIKE REGION.

Charleston, w. va, Sept. 3. IS
Martial law was declared in the
Paint and Cabin creek districts at
six o'clock this morning.
The territory embraces a noun
famous stretch of about twenty
miles in length, extending from the
KanaWha river to the Fayeete coun-
tx line and about eight miles wide,
covering the territory between the
two streams and mile on each
side.
The governor and his conferees
had planned for the issuance Of the
proclamation.
The military commission consists
|of seven and the general court mar
|tial court Of six members with Lieu
tenant Colonel George s. Wallace, of
Huntington, as Judge advocate.
Great quantities of ammunition,
machine guns and rifles were cap
|tured early this morning by the mi-
|litia.
The issuance of the martial law
proclamation had soothing effect
on the riotous scenes of che past few
days on Cabin creek. The ten COM
|panies of militia were widely dis
tributed and~when the proclamation
was declared to be in effect at day
light this morning, the gathering of
arms began by the soldiers.
AS rapidly as possible they were
conveyed to the headquarters at
Paint Greek Junction until by noon
more than fifteen hundred rifles and
more than dozen machine guns in
addition to great quantities of am
nunition had been confiscated.
Thus far no serious trouble has
been experienced in securing the war
instruments. Miners, mine guards,
clerks and even operators, many of
whom carried their weapons to the
militia men, turned over their wea-
pons without the slightest objection.

Why doesn't Governor Glasscock

turned good men. out of. Office that
these frauds upon the rights of our

is the politician who has encouraged
Illegal voting in Mingo county and
who has on many occasions honored

bad grace from Governor to ac-
cuse others when his own escutcheon
