AN OKLAHOMA GIRL SLAIN.
Negro Arrested After Murder of a
 Farmers Daughter.

Chickasha. Ok. June ll.-Miss Susie Church, l5-year-old daughter of Fred Church, a farmer living about 20 miles north of this city, was found murdered, with her throat cut, in the bushes about a mile from her home last night. The girl had gone to a village store on horseback, and when her horse came home riderless a searching party was organized, which soon found her body by the side of the road, where a desperate struggle had evidently occurred.
 A young negro. Denny Simons was found with blood on his clothes and a bloody pocketknife in his trousers pocket He was ar rested and taken to Anadarko. There is talk of lynching. but it is thought that the prompt action of the officers in removing the negro from the scene has avoided it.

Here It Comes.

In Wisconsin the legislature has adopted a resolution favoring the submission of constitutional amendment providing for local op- ton in taxation, which will enable the political subdivisions of the state to abolish taxes on improve mentS. personal property, all the products of industry and shift them on land values. The amendment will not be submitted to the people until if has been again adopted by the legislature two years hence. The California legislature has pass ed resolution to submit the same kind of an amendment at the next general election. In New York there is strong movement for the reduction of taxation upon build ings and it has the support of many real estate men. In Missouri the legislature proposes the emascula- ton of the initiative provision of the constitution by prohibiting any recourse thereto for the purpose of bringing about home rules in taxation, or for any other change in our ridiculous and unjust and corrupting tax system. Missouri is going backward. It is taking that direction solely because a lot of politicians are playing to the preil- dices of the farmer in order to get votes for a United States senator and some congressman. The fam CTS are being fooled into retaining taxes on their own work and keep ing taxes off the results of the growth of the communities in which they liVe.-The Mirror.

Alfonso of Spain has returned home. His Paris visit was short, but not so his fatalistic courage. When the king was told that George of Greece had been assassinated at Salonica, his only comment was |: Tt will be my turn next" A close friend who heard this remark urged the king to agree never to go out on horseback again unless ac- companied by a strong escort. "If," replied the young monarch, "I am never to be allowed to go about as I wish, I can only hope that my turn will come quickly"
 Five actual attempts have been made on the life of King Alfonso in the past ten years. the last occur

A LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
The Lobby Investiaation.

Washington, June i6.-The charge by President Wilson that the "big interests were maintaining a pow erful lobby in Washington to defeat the tariff bill or else 10 emasculate it so that it would be a failure, has produced splendid results. His charge has called the attention of the country to the manner in which these big concerns do their work. The sugar trust. the wOolen trust, the lumber trust, the railroads and other big interests are using their utmost endeaVors in opposing the tariff bill. This lobbying is done through eX-senatOrs and promi- nent eX-congressmen. EX-SCnator Dick of Ohio, Butler of North Caro- lima. Dubois of Idaho and EX- Congressman Watson of Indiana and Littaur of New York have been named as the most active of the lobbyists.

Treasury to Aid the Banks.

It will be recalled that after the panic of 1907 Congress passed what is known as the Emergency Cur rency bill, which runs to July, 1914. This bill provides that banks may deposit state, county and mu- nicipal bonds, as well as govern ment bonds, with the treasury de- partment and secure currency therefor. Secretary of the Treas ury McAdoo has announced that any bank that is pressed for cash can call on the treasury department and get an ample supply of money whenever they need it. This an- nouncement is an assurance to the banks that they can lend all the money to the business men of their community they desire without fear of embarrassment. The new currency bill which President Will son desires to have passed at this season will be along these lines.

 Question Enclosed herewith IS a sneries of clover with which l am unorrnainted. It grows here m connection with red and Whltee clover everywhere, and all kinds ol stock seem to prefer 1t to anytIlliie' If is about all dead now. but sup pose it will come up agan next fall. Can you name 1t?
 Answer-The sample of yellow lowered clover sent to us is one o1 inc common hop clovers. It IS quite widely distributed throughout the state, where it grows wild It is an early clover reaching ma turily early and therefore IS val uable in the early part of the sea- son. but not valuable later in the year. In general appearance ot the plant is resembles Japan clover so closely that many often confuse the two. However the Japan clover IS a much later clover, and instead o1 having yellow blooms has a purple blossom.
 Hop clover is not valuable for hay because of the very light yield. It has some value as an early pas ture crop, but there are many oth- CTS which surpass it.
