STUDENTS ENROLL
At A. "a COLLEGE
ESTIMATED THAT PROBABLE AT
TENDANCE DURING SESSION
WILL BE LOO.

saltwater, Okla, Sept S.-At the
end OF the first two days of regis
trat.on, more than $50 students had
enrollod in the regular course at 4.
4 NJ, College As more students are
coming in on every train. this mum
ber will be materially increased.
President J. II. Connen estimates the
probable attendance during the reg
ular session a; l,1OO, an increase oy-
or the previous years
The opening of the twenty weeks
short course, of school of agriculture
and domestic economy. October 7th,
will add materially to the student
body at the college, Counting enroll
meuj at summer session and short
course last year, more than 2,1OO stu
dents were enrolled in the colleg,
during the year. This number will be
Increased this year.
The number of students is sur
prisinggly large. 1t is probable that
more than oue-th.rd of the attend
ance this year will be girls. The
strength of the domestic science
work and the fact that \. & NJ. clo-
loge provides liberal courses in the
arts and sciences has brought many
students, especially girls who are
net interested in the work in agri-
culture and engineering.
Many of the former students have
been slower in arriving. Letters from
many of last years students indicate
that number are hanging on TO
positions accepted during the sum
mer, expecting to arrive at the lat
est possible time. A call has been
issued advising these students 10
come at once if they expect to enroll
during this term. The actual class
work Of the college has begun and
every day lost means harder work for
the student.
The dronth in some sections fol-
lowing excellent prospects, has caus-
ed some students to withdraw appli-
cations. Whenever possible the col
lege endeavors to aid worthy young
men and women to find work here
to help pay expenses while in school.
A fund of $4,000 is available during
this term for student labor. In al
dition to the opportunities represent
ed in this work student help is en-
ployed in the college dining hall and
in the city of saltwater. Every ef
fort is made to help deserving stu
dents earn their way through col

SMOOTH WORK
Of OFFICERS
SHERIFF WILLIAMS ENGINEERS
A SMOOTH SCHEME TO GUARD
PRISONER.

1t seems that the officers of Johns
ton County slipped one over on the
citizens of Tishomingo when they left
Sunday afternoon for parts unknown
to noe but themselves and landed in
Ardmore after round about trip
prepared to take back w. A. Borah
to some point in that county where
he would be safe and give him a
chance to waive examination.
When the news reached Tishomin-
go that Borah had actually been with
in the confines of the county in which
the crime with which is charged was
committed, great excitement prevailed
in the capital of Johnston. "Bill'
Geers of the Capital Democrat lmme-
diately got out an extra" detailing
the trip from Ardmore to Mannsville
in which he stated that it had been
learned that Sheriff Garrett had re-
fused to take the prisoner back after
he had left the Jail here in charge
of the officers from Johnston County.
Just how it was "leas'ned" that Gar
rett had ever made such statement
was not made clear in the article and
Sheriff Garrett this morning stated
that he never even thought of such
a thing, that the officers from Johns
ton county, or any other county in
the state were welcome to use the
county Jail for the safe keeping of
prisoners as long as he was sheriff
of Carter county.
Borah seemed somewhat relieved
when he was once more within the
walls of the Jail yesterday afternoon,
in fact every one connected with the
"Trip breathed easier after it was all
over. just before leaving Mannsville,

FOUR HAVE EIGHT HEARTS.
Physician Discovers Family With Odd
Vital Organs.

DR.. James Morgenstern of Easton
Pa, has discovered a family in which
the mother and three children are each
provided with two hearts. Investiga-
ton has established the fact beyond a
doubt. The woman is Mrs. Berton
Perkins, and the children are Anna,
Allen and Doris Perkins, aged thirteen,
eleven and four, respectively.
DR.. Morgenstern was called to the
home Of Berton Perkins to attend a
child suffering from chicken pox.
While inspecting the chest of the child
he felt a heart beating on the right
side. He hastily shifted his hand over
to the left part of the chest and felt
another heart beating there, apparent
ly as any well behaved heart should do.
DIR. Morgenstern then determined to
see if the phenomenon was repeated
in the other children. He called in
two, and again two hearts were beat
ing, one in each side of the chest. He
then summoned the mother, and she,
like her three children, was possessed
OF two vital organs, each pumping
blood through the body.

DIVORCE FL0URISHED IN
BABYLON CENTURIES AGO.
Such Is Contention of TheoIogian
Translator of Inscriptions.

In the we'll regulated and highly de-
veloped city of Babylon during the
reign Of Hammurabi, about 2230 B. G.,
divorce with alimony was n common
occurrence.
prominent members of clubs" fig
ured in divorce courts, and scandals
furnished the city with gossip. Hav-
ing been granted a divorce, a man
would pay liberal alimony to his wife
and publish the information that
should any one marry the divorcee he
would not object.
This contribution to the knowledge
of the early ways of the human race
is given by the Rev. Samuel A. B.
Mercer of the Western Theological
seminary. He has completed transla-
tions of Babylonian cuneiform inscrip-
tions. The results are given in the
American Journal of Semitic Ian
guages and Literature, issued recently
by the University of Chicago press.
Marriage contracts" writes DR..
Mercer, "made provisions for possible
disagreements and divorce. If the
husband left his wife he was obliged
to pay. If the wife took a dislike to
the husband she was to receive phys
ical punishment.
"1n some contracts provisions were
made for the care of the parents by
the newly married couple. The ex-
preston of Reputation was 'ul as-as-
IL cthou art not my wifeO or 'ul mu-
tiat-ta' Cthou art not my husbandO.''

KILLS CHILD TO END MISERY.
Distraught Mother Said to Have Chok.
ed Daughter to Death.

The inquest into the case of the
death of the thirteen-year-old daugh-
ter of Mrs. Woods in London, who was
an invalid from childhood and who
was strangled by the mother, as it is
believed, to put the child out of her
agony, resulted in a verdict of willful
murder against Mrs. Woods. The wo-
man was too i'll to appear, and the
jury added to its verdict that the state
of her mind should be inquired into.
The child at times suffered agonizing
fits. Her mother, according to the tes-
timony of the husband and father, had
attended the child constantly, but
could give her no relief. Finally in a
recent attack the mother became dis
traught at the child's sufferings and
strangled her to put her out of her
misery. The husband was absent at
the time.

TOTAL PRODUCTION OF
PENNSYLVANIA COAL,

The production of anthracite coal
in 1912 is estimated by e. w. Park
er, of the United States Geological
Survey, at so, 100000 short tons.
Mr.. A. H. Armstrong, chief of the
Bureau of Anthracite Statistics, re-
ports to the Geological Survey that
the shipments for the first eleven
months of 1912 amounted to ST.
666,076 long tons and estimates
that the shipments for December
will amount to 6,350,000 long tons,
making a total for the year of ap-
proximately 64,000,000 long tons.
The colliery consumption amounts
to about 10 per cent. of the total
production, and the Iocal sales to
about 100000 long tons, so that
the total production for the year
amounted to about 73,500,000 long
tons, or 82,4O0,000 short tons.
These figures, compared with the
production of S0,771,4S long tons
go, AGA, ,067 short tons) in 1911,
show a decrease of 100000 long
tons (S,140,000 short tons), or 8
per cent. The most important fac
tor affecting the anthracite indus
try was the suspension in April and
May, due to the inability of opera
tors and miners to reach an agree
ment on the wage scale. The total
shipments for those two months
were only 1,695,OOO tons, whereas
under normal conditions they should
have amounted to 100000 tons or
more, so that a shortage of about
1O,500,000 tons in the supply of an
thracite was created. But for that
shortage the production of anthra-
cite (adding the usual local and
colliery consumption) would have
amounted to S5,000,OO0 long tons,
or an increase of 5 per cent. over
the high record of 1911. Insufficient
car supply materially hampered
trade. Cars for shipments over con-
Meeting roads were exceptionally
Slow in returning, and in some in
stances coal cars had to be diverted
to the shipment of perishable
freight. In the early part of De-
cember much fear was felt that the
efforts made to secure the prompt
return of cars, if successful, would
be offset by bad weather.

TUBERCULOSIS WAR GROWS
Great Increase Is Made In 1912 Over

Great Increase Is Made In 1912 Over
That of 1911.
Nearly S19O00,OOO was spent in the
anti-tuberculosis campaign in the
United States during the year 1912, ac-
cording to the fourth annual statistical
statement of expenditures in this
movement issued by the National AS
sociation For the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis. The expenditures
during the year for sanitarium and
hospital construction and treatment
make the largest single item in the to-
tai, amounting to nearly $16,S00,000.
This is an increase of nearly $5,000,-
600 over the same group of expendi-
lures for the year 1911. The anti-tu-
berculosis associations and committees
spent over $765,000, while dispensaries
and tuberculosis clinics spent over
$500,000. Over $4,000 was spent for
the maintenance and establishment of
open air schools and fresh air classes,
which is more than double the amount
spent for this purpose in 1911.
Official, state and municipal eXpendi-
lures outside Of the maintenance of in
stitutions, which are included in the
other totals, amounted to $2S0,0OO. In
addition to these figures about $5OO,OOO
was spent by hospitals for insane and
penal institutions in caring for their
tuberculosis inmates.
