Those that enjoy good, clean,

them Sunday, Nov. 8, at the Grand.
The manager always catering to the
wants of his patrons has secured a
splendid attraction in "Te Girl From
Toxic, which is an adoption from the
German for the American stage by
Frank Tannehill Jr, and George w.

It was originally produced at the
Court theatre, Berlin, where it enjoyed
a run of 215 consecutive performances.
It's story and complications are unique
and cause no end of genuine laughter;
its characters are consistent and hui

MHAT BALLOTS
, ARE DEFECTIVE

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. 25.-For
several days paskssecretary Riley of
the board of election commissioners
has been busy distributing the state
ballots for the approaching election.
The state ballot is printed under the
direction of the various county boards.
Thus there is always in state elections
two distinct ballots, the state ballot
and the county ballot. The state bal
10 contains the names Of the candi-
dates for presidential election, for
United States senator, members of
congress and all state officers includ-
ing the members of the house and SEN
ate. The state ballot also contains the
state questions to be submitted under
the initiative, or referendum. The
county ballot contains the names of all
county candidates except the candi-
dates for the house of representatives
and the senate, which are on the state
ballot.
Attorney General West has given
Secretary Riley an elaborate opinion
as to what sort of ballots are defective
and what sort of ballots should be
counted The gist of the attorney gen.
erals ruling is that any marking of
the ballot that shows the intent of the
voter does not make it mutilated bal
lot and that where the intent of the
voter is clear even as to part OF the
ballot, the ballot should be counted to
this extent. According to the attorney
generals opinion some ballots which
inspectors have heretofore thrown out
as mutilated should be counted.
The opinion is very long and goes
into very great details, but the sum of
it all is that ballot should be thrown
out as mutilated only when it is so
marked as to fail to show the intent
of the voter. The simplest way for
democrats to mark the ballot is to

JACKSON TRlPLETT CONVICTED
OF THE MURDER or A DEP
UTY SHERIFF.

Claremore, Okla, Oct 25.--Jackson
Triplett was convicted in the district
court of this county last night of the
murder of Deputy Sheriff Colbert
Starr on the night of September 20,
and given life sentence at hard labor
in the state penitentiary at McAlester.
The prisoner broke down when the
verdict was read, evidently expecting
a verdict of acquittal. During the en-
tire cpurse of the trial he exhibited
no signs of remorse for the crime
which he confessed ON the witness
stand, although claiming the shot was
accidental His wife and five small
children were by his side when the
verdict that deprived them of husband
and father was read.
Ettor, Triplett's alleged pal in the
killing, will be arraigned tomorrow,
but a continuance is expected until
December Attorney Mason of Miami,
will defend Ettor.

stamp in the circle beneath the demo-
cratic emblem. This will vote the
entire democratic ticket. A Taft re-
publican who desires to vote for Flick,
the one Taft republican elector for
nine Wilson electors, and for the re-
mainder of the republican ticket may
do soby stamping under the republi-
can emblem, in the square opposite
the name of Flick, and in the squares
opposite the names of nine democratic
electors Such ballot would be
counted for the one Taft elector, for
nine democratic electors, and for the
remainder of the republican ticket.
Under the ruling OF the attorney gen
eral ballot thus marked should be
counted in this way. If republican
in the first district desires to vote for
the straight republican ticket except
for congressman he can do so by
stamping under the republican en-
blem and in the square opposite the
name of John Davis, the democratic
rominee A ballot so marked would
be counted for every republican candi-
date except Bird Mcclure, and the
voter making it in this way would vote
for John Davis, the progressive candi-
date for congress in the first district.

land and make his future home in
Toxic, Japan, intending to send for his
family consisting of two daughters and
maiden sister after he had settled.
Upon his arrival in Japan, met and
fell desperately in love with Nancy
Noyes, the leading lady of comedy
company touring Japan and China, so
married her against the protests and
entreaties of his daughters, who had a
decided aversion to having an actress
for step-mother Before a reconcilia-
ton can be effected, Mr.. Miller dies,
bequeathing to his young widow half
of his fortun, practically of which is
located in America.
BARLEY Swift an importer of Japan
Tese silks and brio brac, residing tenn
porarily in Toxic, had previously to
Mr.. Miller's marriage known her. in
fact had protested undying affection
for her, but Tilted her to marry Mil
ler's daughter, Blanche.
His happiness was undisturbed until
Mrs. Miller, becoming anxious to OBJ
tain settlement with the executors of
her late husbands estate, determines
to come to America and press her
claim. About the same time BARLEY
Swift engages goyerness for his
young sister-in-law, by the name of
Esther Morgan.
Mrs. Miller arrives at the house and
being mistaken for the governess, de-
cides to keep up the deception as a
punishment to Swift for his desertion
of her in Japan.
Swift, knowing the jealousy of his
wife and her romantic ideas regarding
first love and marriages. is in an
agony of terror, which is increased ten
fold by the arrival of the real COVER
ness. To add to his troubles she is
narrowed by a fire eating Frenchman,
who has fallen in love with the widow,
and followed her to America to press
his suit.
There is also an underplot and hui
namely delicate love interest in which
the young sister of Mr.. Swift is inyolv-
ed with a young boyish suitor, and the
pursuit of the maiden aunt by an i'm
pecunious sanctimonious fortune hum
ter.
All is brought to a happy and hum
orous conclusion in natural and con-
ventional manner, much to the relief of
the unhappy Swift.

BOUGHT CATTLE.

o. II. Johnson and Ben Sanders, of
Centralia returned last night from
Fort Worth, Texas, where they bought
a nice bunch OF cattle. They found
just what they were looking for in the
stock yards at Fort Worth and got
them at less figures than they were
figuring on paying. The cattle men at
Fort Worth say it is the first time IN
fifteen years that such thing has
happened and Messrs. Sanders and
Johnson are both tickled to death
over their bargains. The cattle will
be shipped at once.

THE SANE
NOT The INSANE
MUST BEC|DE

I'VE are embarrassed in the discus
sion of national issues by the fact that
one of the presidential candidates has
been made the victim of a murderous
assault. We deplore as deeply as Mr..
Roosevelt's supporters do the act of
the madman, who has temporarily dis
abled him for campaign work. We de-
nounce as bitterly as Mr.. Roosevelt's
supporters such a resort to violence
even by one who is bereft of his rea-
son. We sympathize with Mr.. Roose-
velt in his affliction as sincerely as his
supporters do, and We wish as earnest
ly as thy for his speedy recovery.
But neither he nor they will ask for
suspension of activities on the part
of Mr.. Roosevelt's opponents, SO long
as his friends continue to preent his
side on national issues.
1.-THE questions before the country
must be decided by the SANE A
MANIAC CAN NOT BE MADE AN
ARBITER IN SUCH A CRISIS. l am
surprised that some of the friends of
Mr.. Roosevelt should attempt to make
use of this incident in his behalf. 1t
can not be charged to the democratic
party--it can not be fairly charged to
any party.
'sThe suggestion that the assailant
was led to make the attack because of
newspaper criticism is far-fetched
one, and even if it could be shown
that an unbalanced mind was influenc-
ed by criticism, it is no more just to
demand a suspension of the discussion
of pending problem on this account
than it would be to reject religion be-
cause some have gone insane on that
subject.
Il have been a careful reader of the
papers since last June and am quite
sure that the Taft papers have been
no more bitter in their assaults upon
Mr.. Roosevelt than the Roosevelt pa
pers have been in their assaults upon
Mr.. Taft, and neither side has attacked
the other with more YiruIence than
both have attacked the democrats in
campaigns past.
Il can show you as bitter things said
against me by both the friends of Mr..
Taft and the friends of Mr., Roosevelt
as the friends of either have said
against the other. The papers say
many things that they ought not to
say, but ] know of no party that is
guiltless in this matter.
"a nation sits anxiously by the ex-
president5s bedside, hoping that the
wound is not serious one, but Mr.
Roosevets supporters must not use
this attack to protect themselves and
their position from just criticism. The
brave soldiers on battlefield do not
use the wounded for breastworls. they
stand out and give blow for blow
And so in the campaign Mr.. Roose-
velt's supporters can not use him as q
shield to protect themselves against
the attacks that may be made against
the policies for which he stands. -

BRYAN |TENERARY
IS NOW COMPLETE

William Jennings Bryans trip
through Oklahoma will be the crown
ing event of campaign which will
result in an overwhelming victory for
the democratic ticket and in the opin-
ion of DR.. j. Q. Newell, who prepared
the route to be followed by Bryan's
special train, his visit to Oklahoma
will do more to arouse to the highest
pitch the democratic enthusiasm which
is now sweeping the state.
DR.. Newell completed the special
train schedule Thursday night. 1t was
the hardest job he ever tackled, he
said. when he gave it out for publ
cation. There was hardly a city or
town in Oklahoma that hadn't sent in
a request that Bryan be given the
privilege of speaking there. Further.
more, the trip will be made over the
lines of three railroads. the Katy, the
Rock Island and the Frisco. it was
some task arranging the schedule to
suit the regular road schedules. And
the whole trip is so arranged that
Bryan will be given at least ten min
utes in every town and city visited.
Muskogee will have him for an hour
and the train will arrive in Oklahoma
City at sos Tuesday night Bryan VIII
speak at the Auditorium at S:15. The
train will leave Oklahoma City at 3
O'Clock Wednesday morning for Hobart
and the southwestern part of the
state All told, it will make twenty
stops on it's trip through the state and
Bryan will speak at each of these
stops.

lions of him, and the knowledge that
he was an expert In the coal business.

the criminal type. He would not be

might be anywhere and in almost any
plane of society.
The only physical proof that had
of the existence of Jenkins was bis
variously disguised handwriting. This
was the only trace that he had left of
his presence. But this was enough. as
it proved.
I will not tire the reader with tell
ing about the weary weeks of futile

case. They were weeks OF searching
and researching without finding any.

in that time. But in the end, after

men entirely different In appearance

quarry grew immensely at this revela-
ton. The man was absolutely the
cleverest forger ever had heard Of.
Now I knew that the jenkins who
had fooled the banks In Medallion was
an old and expert hand at crime, that
he had worked at 1t for at least six
years, and that he seemed to do only
one job a year. And still was as far
