The dread typhoid claimed the inven-

The death of Wilbur Wright will not

his stock probably will be divided
among members of his family, and
Orville will continue in active charge
of affairs.
Taken i'll with typhoid fever several
weeks ago, Wright had been lingering
on the border for many days, and
though his condition from time to time
gave some hopes to members of his
family, the attending physicians main
tanned throughouk the latter part of
his illness that he could not recover.
AS death approached, all members
of his family gathered at the bedside,
including his aged father, Bishop Mil
ton Wright, Miss Katherine Wright
Oryille, the co-intentor of the aero
plane, Reuchlin Wright and Lorin
Wright.

NEWSPAPER MEN

Milwaukee, Wis, May 30.-A ques-
ton involving newspaper men and the
of a confidence bestowed
in newspaper man has been definite
ly settled in Milwaukee, when local
circuit judge announced that he would
refuse to require reporter to testify
as to the source of his information in

delphia Record and brother of Cap
tain Jack, of rough rider fame, to in
yestigate the situation
His review caused Attorney Henry
J. Killilea, former owner of the Boston
American Baseball Club, to demand
that Dr. Alternately testify as to the
source of his information. Judge. Tur
ner told Attorney Killilea that news
paper man would not be forced to dis
close his informant's identity.

H'M LITTLE, BUT I'll TRY"
Brave Child of Section Foreman Saved
Train and Set Example for
Ali Others.

She was only seven years old,
Eileen Martin, the section foreman's
daughter, as she stood reaching up to
a telephone at the little town of Alta,
Cal, telling the agent at the nearest
station that rail was broken. Child
like, she knew the semaphore signals,
had come to the track to see the Over
land Limited whirl by and had watch
ed the long finger drop, letting the
train into the block

said. when the station agent asked her
If she could not stop the train that was
past him, and started out with her
sister of fourteen who had just appear
ed. They ran down the track, stopped
the train and saved a wreck.
Pretty much every primary school in
the city ought, within the next week,
to hear of Eileen's I'm pretty little,
but I'll try" The alert attention
which knew the semaphore signal, the
quick wit which understood what a
broken rail meant, the decision and in
ftiative which alone sought the tele.
phone, the courage with which she and
her sister started up the track, waving
their aprons to stop the big Overland
Limited as it bore down upon them
these are the qualities which through
life bring self-help, for others, success
and happiness.
And she was only seven years old,
"pretty little," but ready to "try."--

TO OUR HEROES DEAD.

TO OUR HEROES DEAD.
Flowers for our soldiers dead today
Laurel, and lilac's purple plumes
From gardens of New England fair
Sweet in the fragrance of ripest blooms
And kissed by mornings breath and
dew.
Or wet with crystal drops or rain
We bring for him who wore the blue
On the battle-ields when slainl
Flowers for our heroes laid to rest,
Meath Dixie's classic sod,
Where wealth of summers gone astray
Breathes incense unto Cod
Buds of roses, pure and white
For those who died for love of state
In gray they sleep the long, last night
Meath glittering stars that watch and
wait.
Flowers for our nations true and brave
Sons of those valiant sires
Who planted our flag in triumph,
With zeal that the world admires,-
On shores of foreign lands.
For them the red rose bring,
Our love and our heart understands
The peans of praise that we sing!
Flowers for our Unions cherished
dead
O. spread them lightly above each font
head
The north and the south without sabe
or guns
As brothers now meet by their burie'
sons,
And over their dead the flag unfurl.
The stars and stripes to the breez'
uncurl-
The glorious flag of sweet liberty
They have sanctifled for you and TO
And have consecrated with blood AM
pain,
That dying they may not have died il

FILES A MOTION
FOR PEHEAR|NG
Decision Given Against McNeaI, Who
Appealed From the State Board of
Equalization's Action.

Oklahoma City, May 90.--Motion for
rehearing was filed in the supreme
court by C. G. Horner an attorney Of
Guthrie, in the case of ]. w. McNeal,
republican nominee for governor in the
last state election, which was an ap-
peal from the state board of equaliza-
tion, and recently decided adversely to
McNeal. The suit questioned the state
boards authority to do more than
equalize the valuations as returned by
the county boards, whereas the board
advanced the total of the county
boards return. The supreme court ia
an opinion by Justice Dunn held that
the board possessed such authority.
Justice Williams dissented.
Attorney Horner tells the court that
it overlooked many of the points set
ou in he plaintiffs brief Discussing
the practice permitted by the statute,
the motion says that it is vain thing
to prohibit the township board from
increasing an assessment except with
five days notice, and then permit the
state board to double it without any
notice. Such proceeding, it says, is
mere batting of the taxpayer and
sooner or later will bring the law into
disrepute The motion adds: The
recall of decisions makes the greatest
progress when the people know they
suffer and see no reasonable method
of escape. 1t is the preface of revolu-
ton. -
As to the extent of appeals which
may be from one board to another, and
finally to the supreme court, the mo-
ton says: "The right of appeal from
the state board is given in those in
stances where 1t exercises an original
assessorial function; otherwise, we
are confronted with the PROPOSITION
that every citizen must watch and
wait and pray before he has right
to appeal from the state board to the
supreme court. This cumbersome pro.
cedure would result in a multiplicity
of proceedings that would swamp the
supreme court particularly being
dangerous since no taxes can be col
lected pending an appeal. 1t would
thus be possible for the entire revenues
of the state to be tied up, and very
probable that large portion Of the
revenue could be tied up by heavy
taxpayers to whom the appeal would
give long delay without interest
while the appeal is being determined
upon its merits. When would the last
appeal be reached?
I'VE are impressed with the idea
that the court has not had in mind al
of the statutes and decisions. and es
pecially those of controlling, char
acter The situation palpably is a ser
ious one, and it is all the more reason
why the conclusions finally announced
should be in harmony with the law

Bunting Thoroughly Tested.

In very truth modern battleship
does, in modern phrasing, carry some
bunting. About s15O,OO0 is spent by
the United States navy for flags each
year Every case Of bunting costs the
government $3.50; every roll costs
s11.25. The bunting comes from Mas
sachusetts. Every piece is subjected
to the most severe test. 1t. must
weigh five pounds to every forty yards
and stand the weight test of seventy
pounds to two square inches. 1t is
stepped in salt water for six hours
and then exposed to the sun for the
