Reed from the same section whero the
highest previous record was made, on
the theory that the dry climate of this
valley would make stronger cotton
than that of any other region This
theory was. of course, bourne out by
the tests made by the government.
This is a demonstration that is eey-
tain to attract the attention of spin
ners of certain articles in which
strength of fibre will be especially
sought after, and will in the course
of time most certainly add greateIy to

The theory that in this dry climate

which will mean dollars and cents to

decisive victory in the democratic

open: | trust their books are open
After telling of the determined eff
fort OF the friends of the speaker to
get the solid delegation from Oklaho-
ma, where there are 100000 resident
Missourians, Senator Gore makes it
plain that the sentiment in behalf Of
Governor Wilson in Oklahoma was in
great measure spontaneous and that
his victory was due to the faculty
which he has of appealing to the popl
lar heart and Imagination.
Il may add continued Senator
Gore, that the people of Oklahoma
We're not unaffected by the fact that
western man is running against Will

northern man running against him in

but they know that if anything should
happen hereafter which sayored Of
such an alliance il would tend rather
to hinder than to insure united de-
mocracy and to dim rather than to
brighten the prospects of a splendid
democratic triumph in November next.

"Mistake," Says Wife.


Il knew that he was not feeling well,
but did not think he was very sick.
He said he would meet me at the de-
pot, but when he failed to do so |
went on to Newman, thinking he had
been detained on business The next
thing I heard was when reached the
home of his mother. They said there
that Gene had been shot. My arrest
and the accusation of my husband is
horrible mistake"
Grace told the police when they first
reached him that he first discovered
he was shot at o'clock in the morn
ing, wnen he awoke with burning
sensation in his side
q told my wife" he said "and ask
ed her to get a doctor. She left the
room and came back later, saying she
was unable to reach any one over the
telephone"
Grace says he then became uncon-
scious and when he next awake he
worked his way to the telephone and
called the police.
Much Importance is attached by the
police to the corroborative testimony
of J. c. Ruffin and his wife, negro SER
wants. The woman says she made a
fire in Grace's room about o'clock,
at Mrs Graces request. While she
was in the room, the woman says
Grace groaned several times, and Mrs.
Grace said:
You are not sick. Gene. You are
sleeping.
| Ruffin says Mrs. Grace told him as
she was leaving the house that her
husband was sick and that he had
wanted a doctor, but had changed his
mind and if the doctor came he was
to be sent away Mrs. Grace denies
giving any such instructions.
A 32-caliber pistor was found on a
window sill in the hall on the floor be-
low Grace's room. It had one empty
chamber The key to the door of the
room which the police found locked,
was in receptacle in the hall, where
Mrs. Grace said it usually was kept.
The police arrived about two hours
after Mrs. Grace says she let. Chief
of Detectives Lanford said esterday
afternoon that the blood "a Grace's
pillow was clotted and dried and he
did not think it could have dried that
way in less than three hours.
