JEFFERIES MURDER
CASE POSTPONED
Attorneys for Defense File Motion for
Change Of Venue From Nowata I
to Rogers County.

Nowata, Okla, July 17-It was de
cided Tuesday evening by District
Judge Tom L. Brown and the attor-
neys in the Jeffrles case that no Grim
inal trials would come up at this term
of court. This means that H. o. JEFF
fries, charged with the murder Of
Irene Goheen, and C. L. Harkens,
charged with triple murder at Della
ware probably win not be tried until
the September term Of district court.
The jury already selected was dis
missed.
In the Jeffrie8 case Tuesday the de
fense submitted a motion for a change
of venue from this to Rogers county,
The motion viii be fought out next
Monday. The county attorney then pre-
sented his motion filed some weeks
ago for the disqualification Of Judge
Brown to act in this case in which he
charged conniEance with the defense.
The defense answered by denying
every statement made in the motion.
The question was left to the decision
of the judge, and the motion overruled.
The county attorney then served no
tice on the judge and attorneys for the
defense that he would present the mo-
tion before THE court of criminal ap.
peals at Oklahoma City next Saturday
Lated in the afternoon Judge Brown
stated that he had not yet read the
motion and asked permission to file an
answer of his own to the motion. This
was done, County Attorney Thraves
then refused to have anything further
to do with this particular phase of the
case, contending himself merely with
the statement that already he had pre-
pared his petition for writ of man
damus which he will present to the
court of criminal appeals. The county
attorney stands pat on his motion and
there will be somewhat of a scrap be
fore the whole thing is finally settled

AN0THE8 WRANGLE
AT CITY COUNCIL
Mayor Vetoes Three ordinanees-com-
nittee Appointed to 4Sdit Printing
Bills of Past Three Years.

The city council met in its regular
Imid-month meeting last night, with
AL members present except Council
man Wright, OF the second ward. The
meeting last night was not prolific Of
very much business, but degenerated
into another Of those wrangles that
has made the work OF the council al
most a continual row
The mayor returned three ordi-
Inances passed by the council at the
last meeting with his veto These
were: the ordinance making the Chief
tain the official publication Of the city;
the ordinance abolishlng the office OF
assistant city clerk and the ordinance
repeating the ordinance against Sun,
day amusements. This latter ordi
nance will be submitted to a vote Of
ithe people on August 6, at which time
| it is expected that the Sunday base
ball question will be settled The
mayor vetoed this ordinance at the re
quest of some Of the councilmen, who
with the mayor, supported the meas
ure, but believe it ought to be sub
mitted to a vote, especially when an
election is to be held and a vote car
be had without additional cost to the
city.
A resolution was introduced to the
effect that all ordinances to be con
sidered by the council must be filed
with the ordinance committee at least
twehty-four hours before the meeting
at which they are to be considered
The vote on this resolution was: Ayes
4, nos 3. The mayor ruled that tht
resolution was lost as it required {
majority of the councilmen elected tt
pass any ordinance or resolution. This

wrangle
On moaoA b Councilman Campbell
a, committee was appointed to confer
with the printius companies Of the
city for the purpose 81 obtaining the
best contract possible Tor the city
printing. The mayor designated the
regular purchasing committeesto take
up this matter
Il committee was appoiated, consist
ing Of r. j. Wright, s j. Campbell
and II. S knight to audit the printing
bills for the past three years and if
possible make settlement of the
overcharges for printing several Of the
/ ordinances. The council takes the
view thar these oteroharges We're mis-.
takes and viii be settled on proper
showing. The oyercharges were the
result Of an incorrect method Of fgur-
ling the bills for printing notices, ordi-
inanees. etc. The agreement between
the city and the Chieftain and Leader
was that the printin should be done
for 71A cents per pg at line. During
the past several N as the Leader
has been doing the printing and lgur
ed the rate on the basis of type used
which made the bills approximately
seyen-twelfths more than they should
have been. This mistake came about
through the fact that the present man
fager OF the Leader did not know thai
! the agreement was that the bills
should ibe made on the basis OF si'
lpoint type.

Oklahoma City, July 16.-J. c..
Fraiser, appointed county assessor for
Oklahoma county by Governor Cruce
early in the year, told the state board
of equalization yesterday when as as
sessed returns of Oklahoma county
were under consideration, that the
States Tax Payers league, promoted
by Oklahoma City residents, sought
to intimidate him into giving Okla
homa county an under valuation.
According to Fraiser, he was called
before a meeting of business men soon
after the assessing began and told that
the league had adopted standard Of
values for the town and that if Fraiser
would follow it he would be reelected
assessor, but if not they would start
custer proceedings against him. The
papers had already been drawn he
was told, but he declined to follow the
suggestion.
Last year Oklahoma county was fix
ed by the board at S1l700o,000 Frais-
er's return this year is $104,00o0o0 md

to about $S4,000,000

lother members 'It is a recalcitrsat
board and not only does not want e,
but will not do what the-law requires
Of them and its members should pa
removed from Office"

ported at s26 per acre And all the
abstract books here place the yalua
tion at s125. Attorney General West

advised the former president of his
contemplated action, and tentatively
discussed the future at his conference
with Mr.. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay last
week, which gave rise to rumors that
he would withdraw his allegiance to

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Red Glover In Rotation.

One reason for the great popularity
Of the red clover plant is the ease
with which it lends itself to the rota-
tions which have been practiced in
the sections to which 1t is adapted.
The fact that 1t lives but two years
necesSitates rather short rotation on
the farm. especially when the clover
is seeded alone.
Meadows and pastures containing
clover and grass mixed are usually
held three or four years. even though
very little clover may remain during
the last year or two. The value Of
red clover on the farm makes 1t usu-
ally desirable that a considerable
area of the farm be at all times seed
ed to this crop.
The Illinois experiment station has
shown as result of thirty year
test that corn on land continuously
has produced twenty-five bushels to
the acre. corn alternated with oats
forty three bushels, while corn, oats
aud clover in q three year rotation
gave yield Of fifty-nine bushels for
the corn.

FRESH GROUND
BONE FOR HENS.
Valuable Supp emenary Feed
For Poultry.

Hens require lime to make eggshells.
aud. while there is a small amount Of
lime in the composition of all grain, it
is not there in sufficient quantity to
make the shells needed to cover the
eggs. Something therefore, must be
given the hens to make eggshells. This
is frequently furnished in the shape OF
lime or old plaster or oyster shells.
But even with these accessories hens
frequently lay eggs with soft shells.
This is because there is still something
lacking In order to make the shells
hard. Green bone fed TO hens supplies
this lack. The mineral matter fed to
chickens In bones is also valuable in
the development Of their own bones
and In growing their feathers and even
In the making Of their flesh. But more
than anything else is the protein ele-
ment the hen gets from the bone for
the making Of the body Of the egg.
Grain feeding alone will not answer
for this purpose, because grains are de-
ficient in this protein element. The
bone, therefore. is most valuable SUD-

Sandy Soils Need Humus.

The addition of vegetable matter to
sandy soils is very important since 1t
is needed to increase their water hold
ing capacity as well as to add fertility.
Water is often the limiting factor in
the production OF sandy soils. due to
their coarse texture and lack Of veg
etable matter. To prevent winds blow
ing sand the land may be laid out in
long. narrow fields with alternate grass
and cultivated crops. Protection wind
breaks of pines or other trees are eff
fective for short distances.
Legumes are beneficial to sandy soils
because they supply the much needed
nitrogen as well as humus. Peat can
be used to advantage as nitrogen fer
tilizer where n supply is readily avail
able. The use of lime on sandy soils,
which are very commonly acid, will
aid in securing a stand Of alfalfa and
clovers. incubation is also usually
necessary to grow good crops Of le-
gumes.

tress after eating indicate indigestion
or dyspepsia Over-eating is Il habit
very dangerous to persons good gen
eral health.
1t is not what you eat, but what you
digest and assimilate that does you
good. Some of the strongest, heaviest,
and healthiest persons are moderate
eaters.
There is nothing that will cause
more trouble than a disordered stom-
ach, and many people daily contract
serious ma!adies simply through dis
regard or abuse Of the stomach.
We urge all who suffer from any
stomach arrangement, indigestion, or
dyspepsia, whether acute or chronic,

Be Gentle With Cows.

The milk COW must be treated with
kindness at all times. A COW that Is
always in fear of her attendant cannot
possibly make her best record. The
good mixer is a highly nervous ami
mai, and harsh treatment will cause
a falling off in milk yield. At no time
should a dog be allowed to run the
cows. and noise and blows should be
avoided. The COW should feel perfect
ly safe In the care Of the man whose
duty 1t is to look after her welfare.
She should have confidence in him, and
he should treat her in such manner
that she Is induced to seek his pres.
ence rather than be alarmed and run
away at the sound Of his voice.-Farm-
er's Advocate.
