HEALDTON.

Healdton, Okla, Aug. 10.-Aiter
week rain, today bids to be clear
and fair.
Rainfall for the week was 5.2S in
ches and the ground is very wet and
roads in bad shape.
Cotton now needs hot sunshine
and it may yet make fair yield,
although taken all over, the crop
is not very satisfactory. We hear
of some shedding and grass and
weeds coming fast. August is the
month that makes the cotton and
with favorable conditions from now
on will come out O. X.
Corn is made crop now and
generally the yield will be very
good
Feed stuff is coming on in fine
shape. and taken as whole, the
outlook is very promising.
Election passed off very quietly
with something like two-thirds OF
the vote being polled.
While we have lost some OF our
choice, must say that they ran a
clean race, and though defeated,
stand well with the community, and
all seem to be pleased wiN those
elected.
Cool, most of the week with some
little hail and high wind and plenty
of thunder.
A good deal of complaint OF
peaches being blown off-they are
plentiful on all sidesI and are being
put up for winter use.
Dave Best of Pauls Valley Is

him.
Mrs. Shelton Tyer is much impror-
ed in health.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The Bull
Moose has had his say and now the
administration is going to get busy
with the colored voter along differ
emf lines to win him over before
the election in November. Evidence
of this fact is seen in a large or
der which has recently been given
that a list be compiled of all colored
employees or officials in the service
of the government and the promo
tions of colored fficials r employees
Cyrus Field Adams assistant register
of the treasury, a colored man, one
of the ablest of the number in the
government service, has been en-
trusted with getting the data.
The list, which is expected to be
out before many more days, is not
to be confined to persons in the eX-
ecutive departments. Even the col
ored employees of the supreme court
are included. Persons in the class
flied service are included despite
the fact that such persons are sup
posed not to be active as partisans.
Colored employees or teachers in the
District of Columbia schools and en-
plyes in the district government are
to be included. All this informa-
ton with much other bearing on
the question of President Taft has
done for the colored man, will be
published in campaign pamphlet.

disclosed in the preconvention pri-
maries and caucuses wherein many
of the colored voters turned against
President Taft.

MORE ROOM FOR
COUNTY EXHIBITS
Secretary Mahan Says II May Be
Necessary to Erect New
Building.

In order to accommodate the In
creased number OF county exhibits this
year at the Oklahoma State Fair and
Exposition, September "a to october
3, 1t may be necessary to build large
addition to the Agricultural building.
And even with this room it has been
found necessary TO do some very
careful planning. While the exact
number of county exhibits will not be
known until the final entry is re-
ceived, correspondence between Secre-
tary S. Mahan of the State Fair and
Exposition and representative men
in all sections of Oklahoma would in
dicate no less than fifty collective ex-
hibits this year.
Oklahoma has come back" says
Secretary Mahan, "and with bumper
crop this year We have the best op-
portunity In six years to show all ma
tions what we can do. Every county
seems to realize this and expect the
most remarkable showing ever before
made in Oklahoma or any other state
when the gates swing back on Septem-
Der a."
Secretary Mahan says the county
collective exhibits will be taken care
OF even though it should be necessary
to erect another building as large as
the big Agricultural building which
now graces the State Fair Grounds.
He says each county Will be given
every opportunity to advertise its re-
sources and to win the liberal prizes
offered by the Fair Association.

SMALL ISLAND
HOLDS TREASURE
LOOT VALUED AT $4,000 900
BURIED BY OLD PIRATE Be
LlEVED LOCATED BY BRITISH.

London, Aug. l0.-Once more Co
cos, tiny island in the Pacific
ocean, is to be visited by an eXpedi-
tion in search of the fabulous treas
ures reputed to have been buried
there by pirates.
Two women who were on the
island last year are said to have 10
Gated the precise position of the
hoard. which successive parties have
failed to discover, and Il syndicate
has been formed to pursue investi-
cations. At Plymouth the steamer
Melmore, a vessel with a tenknot
capacity, hitherto engaged in the
cross channel traffic. is fitting out
for the search. and will shortly leave
the port of Barry to take in coal,
pre- paratory to sailing for Panama,
where she will pick up two ladies,
said to hold the key to the treas
ure.
Thence she will go to Cocos, 500
miles southwest of Panama. includ-
ed in the personnel of the eXped-
ton is the cinematograph operator.
TO secure films of the treasure seek
ers at work.
II is reported that another expedi-
tion, with the treasure as its object,
is on the way to the island, but
in London last night the ruWor was
discredited
Cocos was invested with its ro-
nance OF buried treasure nearly
century ago, but. though there
have been 20 different expeditions
to the island, the secret of the
whereabouts of the hoard has re-
NAMED impenetrable so far.
1t was in 1921 that the notorious
pirate Bonita, having ravaged the
West Indies and the west coast of
South Africa, engineered his last
great coup of capturing the Mexican
treasure. The worth of this haul is
estimated at $l2,000,O00, and he
buried it on Cocos, where fierce
fight ensued among his cut-throat
crew, he left - of them dead ere
he set sail for the West Indies. His
infamous career ended in that re-
gion.
Fourteen years late the British
barkentne Mary Dier Captain
was lying in the harbor
of Callao when the Spaniards who
were being evicted from Peru de-
cided to consign their treasures,
valued at s400O,O00, to her hold for
safety. The honesty of the captain
and crew melted away before the
vision of undreamt wealth, and, muir
dering the guard whom the trusting
Spaniards had left in charge of the
riches, they slipped away from Cal
lao in the darkness. The treasure
was also hidden at Cocos before the
Spanish man-ofwar sent in pursuit

 When he heard judgment pronounced Veran, who was very much excited, sprang from his seat exclaiming that he was ruined. Before any one could stop him he drew revolver, put 1t to M. Journets head (the lawyer had been sitting Just In front of him) and fired.
 One of the attendants rushed at him, but he wrenched himself free, fired at NJ. Teissere. whose jawbone and chin were smashed by the bullet, and then he shot himself through the mouth.
 There was q scene of wild excitement fin court Litigants and lawyers fled in panic, many of them trampling on tho bodies of the three men on the ground fin their eagerness to get away.
 NJ. Journet. who was 70 years of age, was killed on the spot. There Is some little hope for the life of the other law yer. NJ. Veran will probably recover.
