Henderson Martin, Wilson's manager,
defeating two Clark men as delegates.
B. J. Sheridan and A. NJ. Jackson, two
prominent Clark leaders, were the
other two. The Wilson men on the
delegation are ]. NJ. Orr and w. d.
Kuhn of the First district; Frank Co
miskey. Third district; w. S. Car
penter and NJ. A. Limbocker. Fourth
district; John Hostettler and Mike Fry,
Fifth district: Charles Sawyer and Ed
ward Dye of the Sixth; Jerry Fitz-
patrick and Robert Broadford of the
Eighth; Henderson Martin and b. S.
Gaitskill OF the state convention. C. w
Green of the Second district is claim
ed by Wilson men as the fourteenth
delegate.
This does NOT mean that the dele
cation will violate its instructions to
support Clark. The Wilson men say
that they will vote for Clark as long
as they deem it expedient. But the
Wilson men are ia control of the dele
cation. They will not be held in the
Clark column after it appears that to
vote for him would only work to the
defeat of Wilson"

INDIANS GET AID
TO PAY UP BILLS

Washington, March 23-That the in
debtedness of the Kiowa, Comanche
and Apache Indians to merchants and
others within or adjoining the reserva-
tions may be paid, the house Indian
affairs committee yesterday officially
sanctioned the recommendation of the
interior department that s25O,O be
withdrawn fro mthe tribal funds now
in the hands of the government and
devoted to Strengthening up the Indian
affairs. The action of the committee
is due much to the efforts of Repre-
sentative Scott Ferris and Lieutenant
Ernest Stecker, of the Kiowa agency,
who has been in Washington for sew
eral weeks working for some such re-
suit.
The Indians will be placed on such
footing financially that the merchants
and others holding mortgages against
the Indians will not be forced to fore
close them and the property of the
reds will be retained by them Con-
ditions among the Indians have been
particularly bad for the past three
years, lease holders being unable to
pay the Indian land owners owing to
droughts.
The committees action practically
assures the Incorporation of an amend
ment to the Indian appropriation bill
providing for the distribution of the
money when that measure reaches the
floor of the house which probably will
be Monday.

Gregg And Victor Were Scared.

Muskogee, Okla. March pa scare
was thrown into Grant Victor and W
]. Gregg Thursday when a rumor
reached the federal court house that
Republican State Chairman James
Harris had indorsed James L. Fore for
United States marshal and Peter
Deichman of Tulsa for United States
attorney. It was stated that Victor's
name has been sent to the senate by
President Taft, and later withdrawn
and Mr.. Fore's name substituted. The
federal court house crowd have been
eagerly scanning the dispatches of the
daily papers to see if the rumor is
true.
1t was generally understood that
Taft would make no appointments in
Oklahoma until after the republican
state convention. AS Harris was in
strumental in carrying the Fourth dis
trict for Taft, and Grant Victor pulled
OF a Taft convention in the Third dis
triet, both hope to be in line to say
who shall be re-appointed. Harris is
standing by Deichman and Fore, but
Victor comes IN and says he is entitled
to consideration. The federal crowd
is expecting these two plums to be
given out at any time now.
1t is said that former Federal Judge
C. w. Raymond is favorable to the APP
pointment of Deichman and Fore, and
that the president will heed his wishes.

When the farmers and stockmen OF
any community have an opportunity
to select cattle OF individual excel
lence, backed by the best breeders Of
America and the British Isles. and
raised in thoroughly practical way
at prevailing low prices for breeding
cattle, it would seem that they were
certainly getting in on safe basis.

Cattle to be held at Fredonia. Kansas.
Wednesday, April 10, 1912. is a draft
from the herds of S. c. Hanna. Howard.

EGYPTIAN PAPYus f22 FEET LONG
FOUND.
Magnificent Copy Of Theban Book Of
the Dead" Now in British
Museum.

A remarkable Egyption papyrus or
ancient scroll, of absorbing interest,
not only to philologists and scholars,
but to the whole world, has recently
been presented to the nation by Mrs.
Mary Greenfield, and has now been
added to the Egyptian collection of the
British Muesum. The papyrus, which.
with one exception, is the longest in
the world is described as a magnifi-
cent copy of the Theben Book of the
Dead, to which is added rich collec-
ton of invocations, addresses and
hymns to Amen-Ra, the great god of
Thebes. But the mere description falls
far short of the suggestive beauty and
actual contents of the scroll.
Briefly the paprus was written for
Princess Nesi-ta-nob-asher. the daugh-
ter of the great Queen Nesi-khensu,
who was at the height of her power at
some time between 1040 and 1000 B. c.
The portion of the papyrus which
has already been deciphered promises.
it is said, to indicate among other
things:
Q) That the Father and Son of the
Christian Trinity have their analogy
in the Amen-Ra and Osiris of the dwell
lers in ancient Egypt-the cradle of
religions.
(2) That many of the so-called new
religious cults and theories which are
being hotly debated at the present day,
We're. in only slightly different form
promulgated weighed, and either ae-
cepted or rejected by the Egyptians
more than three thousand years ago
when the ancient Britons were still
painting their naked bodies with blue
woad.
(3) The development OF the idea
that there was a Diety but that He
held Himself completely aloof from the
doings of men, and that il was there
fore necessary to create number of
Gods who might be invoked and pro-
pitiated by mankind
(4 The religious reaction and the
disposition to abandon the worship of
many gods and to merge the many in
to one or two at most
The papyrus, which is 122 feet long
and 2013 inches wide, appears to be
remarkably complete
So bold and clear are the black ink
characters and vignette illustrations
that the papyrus might have been
written only three days instead of
nearly 5000 years ago
The privileged few who have re-
ceiyed an intimation of the contents
OF the new papyrus are hopeful that
the authorities will see their way to
publish faithful translation of the
scroll for tAe benefit of scholars and
laymen alike c. \. n.
