times three and four, and sometimes
even more. should the town be a good
one. associations of this kind. They
have always proven a source of great
benefit to any town where they have
existed, both as home builder for
the man of moderate means and a
source of revenue to the man VINO
has purchased stock IN them as an in
vestment. As an institution which
affords safe and sure means of lay

much as they are equally as safe and
pay the investor much higher re

The profits to be derived from pur-
chasing stock in one of these lnstl-
tutions are only limited by the
amount of stock carried, The small
purchaser OF stock gets as much pro

WORST STORM
IN MANY YEARS
SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA VISITED
BY RAGING BLIZZARD - SNOW
AND WIND.

What is probably the worst storm
in years struck this section al Ioout
tive o'clock yesterday evening. Nj
day 1t had been threatening and
gloomy with occasional light show
ers, but no one dreamed OF Senu-
inc northern blizzard with an accom-
panyine heavy fall of snow. At five
O'Clock yesterday afternoon snow be-
gan falling in little ilurries with
the thermometer dropping steadily.
BY six the snow had developed mto
a genuine storm and the wind Was
blowing gale from the north. III
an hours time the snow was driftel
in all places where the wind could
get a chance to pile it up and pc
destrians found walking difficult rs
well as a disagreeable task.
Tho snow continued to fall with
little if any abatement until far past
midnight, and this morning our
streets were those of one OF the fro
zen cities of the north. This heasS
fall of snow will prove = vast and
highly appreciated benefit to the far
mers, as it will, in netting, soak into
the ground and following the heavy
freezes which We have had this WIN.
ter. lay the foundation for a cooI
crop season.
II IS more than probable however,
that there will be a considerable suf-
fering among both people and farm
animals. Following as it does the
extremely spring like weather of the
past several days, no one has been
prepared for such a change.
What effect this storm will have
by way of injury to the crops already
planted will be hard TO say just yet.
Potatoes are probably covered deep
enough TO remain uninjured should a
hard freeze follow. but 1t is very
t''l U,Ht what corn in planted
will be killed.

FROM WINNIPEG
TO GAL WESTON
GREATEST HIGHWAY TO BE
SulLT-SUGGS HAS SUPERVi.
SION THROUGH OKLAHOMA.

Al a meeting of the officers OF TIN"
PROPOSED Meridian route from Win
nipeg 10 Galveston held in the city
of Emporia, Kansas, several days
ago i; was decided to carry out the
plans adopted at meeting held in
HE office of Commissioner OF High
ways Sidney Suggs several days pre-.
vious.
These plans provide Tor an automo.
bile trip from Winnipeg through u
Galveston, in practically "A straight
line south. stops have been arrans-
ed at I'LL important towns and the
people all along the proposed route
have assured the promoters of the
idea that they will stand ready to
greet them with the glad hand.
1t is incumbent upon Carter coun-
~ TO see to it that the road from
Murray county south to Ardmore is
in the finest possible condition.
1t has not yet been decided what
route viii be adopted from Ardmora
south. Two routes are considered as
being HIGHLY practicable. One Of
these will be by way OF Nadill. In.
terrepuuS the Interstate Posta, Hieh-
way in Johnston county or Mar-
shal county. or it may 80 southwest
/ by way of i.aWtOn and Cornish and
intercept the Chisholm Trail division
of the Meridian. This may have to
be done in order to cross the Red
river
1t would be greatly to the interests
of the people of Gainesville and vi
cinity to get busy and arrange for
this line to 90 directly south from
Ardmore. This is the most feasible
and the most practicable route, and
is the route which would benefit
the people along it most materially.
II would bring the people Of Gaines
Vile and vicinity in direct touch with
the territory north of it and, as the
tlatil would follow this old natona!
route from Gainesville to Fort Worth,
it would give them direct good roads
connection with both the latter city
and Dallas. In fact there is not
a town on the entire line, as pro-
posed, which would benefit so ma
terialTy and lastingly as Gainesville
But unless the people of Gaines
Vile get busy and bridge the Red
river the route will cross this stream
at Denison on the wagon bridge, also
on the wagon bridge south of Law
ton.
Col. Suggs has charge of the route
from southern Kansas through Okla
homa into northern Texas. He is
using every endeavor to make the
auto trip a success and the people
who will be most directly and last
insly benefited by TINS route should
De more than willing to help In every
conceivable manner.

A FLOOD OF MONEY
Poured into City by Demo.
cratic Committee.

The Democratic war chest has been
tapped and the old political trick of
trying to influence voters by posting
bets on the candidates for whom the
money is being used is being pulled
off.
A local betting board blossomed out
today, following the visit of an Indi-
annapolis agent, with about $500 in
bets. Odds were offered that Ralston
would defeat Beveridge by $4,000 votes
and upwards. A $500 bet was placed
that Roosevelt would not carry a state
A good many gets are being taken
and probably by Monday the big ma
jority of them will have been cover
ed.
The boosters for the local Republi-
can organization were on the streets
today busily engaged in confding to
voters that Taft and Durbin were
gaining steadily and would finish
ahead of Roosevelt and Beveridge, but
that it is too late now to defeat Wilson
and Ralston.
Meanwhile the Progressives are
saving wood and confidently resting
on their arms for the battle of ballots
Tuesday.

Breaks Down Under Third
Degree and Says High
Diver Slew Miss Singer,
Baltimore Heiress.
ROBBERY WAS ONLY
MOTIVE FOR CRIME
Mrs. Conway Said She Urged
Her Husband Not to Use
Violence, but He Wouldn't
Heed Advice.

CHICAGO, Nov. Mrs. Beatrice
Ryall Conway, in confession today
accused her husband, Charles Conway,
ger, the Baltimore heiress. The confes-
sion was made after several hours of
questioning by the police and after
Charles r. Warthen, who was to have
married Hiss Singer, confronted the
woman and shouted accusations at her.
The woman then sobbed out the story
in broken sentences after her self-con-
troll, which had gradually weakened
during the questioning, broke COM
pletely.

it. l was opposed to violence. l didn't
want her hurt, but he didn't heed my
words. He struck her and | said he
ought not to do it as it was not nee,
essary to go So far. Then he struck her
again."
Robbery Only Motive.
Mrs. Conway said that she did not
know the Singer woman was dead and
that as Conway was her husband she
decided to stick with him and they
fled together. She said she did not
know the Singer woman was dead un
til they read about it in the newspa
pers. After making this statement
Mrs. Conway fell from her chair un
conscious.
Robbery was alone the motive oi
the murder. This was disclosed in the

CASE OF TRACHOMA
FOUND IN SCHOOL
Pupil Is Excluded from the
Vail Building Until He Is
Permanently Cured.

The first case Of trachoma, viru.
lent anG contagious eye disease, was
discovered yesterday in the Vail
school. A nine-year-oid boy, after the
diagnosis OF the medical examiner had
been verified by an eye specialist, was
excluded from the school,
An inspection of the school premis,
es showed there was little chance that
the boy had spread the disease to 9th.
er pupils through the use of a com.
mon towel.
The lad will not be permitted to re.
turn to the school until a cure has
been effected. 1t usually takes weeks
OF consistent treatment to check the
disease.
Trachoma is a disease against which
the immigration officials guard con.
stantly. The eyes of the foreigners are
examined closely and if the first symp-
toms of the disease are found the ap-
pilcant is excluded at once.
The origin of the lone case in Rich
mond has no: been traced by the medi.
cal examiners.
