eral years before his final capture in
1897 and subsequent conviction in
a Federal court. He served five
years in the prison at Columbus,
Ohio, before being pardoned by
President Mckinley. President
Roosevelt later restored his citizen
ship, and he. began the practice Of
law in Oklahoma City. In 1912 he
ran for the Democratic nomination
as county attorney of Oklahoma
county, against six other candidates.
Before the primaries five of the can
didates withdrew to concentrate the
vote against him, but IN spite of this
he obtained the nomination. At the
general election he was defeated by
a narrow margin by Republican,
who was supported by both the Re-
publican and Democratic organiza-
tionS.

FIRE AGAIN GUSTS NEGROES.
Loomis College, at Chester, Com
pletely Destroyed.

Chester, January 20.-Fire to-
night at SIS o'clock, completely de-
stroyed the Loomis College, into
which the male students of Brainerd
Institute were moved after the fire
which destroyed the boys dormltory
Sunday evening. To-night's fire oc-
Cured at precisely the same hour as
Sundays and originated also in the
upper part of the structure.
The two fires occurring so close to-
gether and at exactly the same hour,
and apparently. in the same manner.
led many persons to think that a fire
bug has been at work.
The fire department did good
work. but owing to the headway the
fire had made when the alarm was
turned in. the structure was p:ac-
tically DESTROYED.
The building burned tonight caus-
ed a loss of approximately $4,000,
with insurance. A LAMP exploded
causing the fire, it is claimed.

OLD TRAVEL RECORDS.
Even in Eastern States, Trips in
Thirties Were an Ordeal.

Travelling in the thirties of the last
century, even in the more thickly
settled States of the Union and with
the most advanced forms of trans
portation at the travellers command,
was yet something to face with all
the fortitude that could be drummed
up. The Philadelphia Record gives a
glimpse of what that travelling was
like:
"On November 26, 1888, car
made the first trip over the Portage
Railroad. This was the most re.
markable engineering undertaking
of the times. The railroad was SO
miles long, extending across the AL
legheny Mountains from Holidays
burg to Johnstown. There we're tel:
inclined planes, five on each side of
the mountains. Engines at the top
OF each plane pulled up four cars at
time The ascent on the east side
measured 1898 feet. Then there
was tunnel of $40 feet and a
descent of 1,172 feet on the wes-
tern side. Passengers on canal boats
entered the cars at Hollidaysburs
and were carried over the mountains,
embarking in other boats on the wes-
tern side and thus continuing their
journey to Pittsburg. Later boats
were built so that they could be
taken apart into three or four sec
tions and placed on a car for the
trip over the mountains
Folk who quarrel over the late
ness of a train might feel better il
they reminded themselves of what a
boon their own belated transporta-
tion would have been to their grand
parents.--New York Mail.

Want American Stores in China.

IF American genius would discov-
er some way of establishing Ameri-
can stores for the sale of American
goods in China, it would lead to a
largely increased consumption in
that country of American products, ~
observed Arthur Caffery. repre-
sentative of an American manufac-
turing house. just back from the
Orient.
"Chinese shops have no doors or
windows" continued Mr.. Caffery,
"and consequently there is no eEfec-
tive way of advertising goods.
Foreign-made goods, therefore, have
little chance of display. The only
way of advertising them is by large
placards mounted on strong card
board The shops generally are from
10 to Is feet wide on the street front,
and the entire front is composed of
shutters, which are taken down in
the morning. Usually small table
is placed in the shop five or six feet
from the street, and the rest of the
goods are carried on shelves. The
entire stock of the average Chinese
shop could be carried in a one
horse American delivery wagon. -

Grief Was Cause of Her Death.

Washington, Jan. 19.-"Blackmail
that's what killed herr
The attendant at Glenwood ceme-
terry, who had just closed one of the
vaults behind a f1ower-laden coffin
containing a newcomer" turned
around to look into the face Of the
speaker.
But the man who had spoken amid
suppressed sobs, seemed suddenly to
realize what he had said and, evading
the glances of the few bystanders,
slowly walked away.
1t was Harry Wendal, OF
1884 Maryland avenue northeast,
who thus had shed light upon
the fate of his sister-in-law,
Mrs. Jacque Bradley Swift, di-
vorced wife of the heir OF
the Swift millions, of Atlanta, Ca,
a few years ago famed as one of Ala
bama's most beautiful women and as
a successful actress, who died Wed
nesday night at Providence hospital
after willing little Jacque,' her
three-year-old daughter, to her Sis
ter, Mrs. Jennie Bell Wendal, Harry
Wendal's wife.
The story of the desperate fight by
Mrs. Swift for the custody of her lit
tie daughter whom Tom Swift, her
divorced husband attempted to "buy''
for $4,000. has aroused country
wide interest and sympathy for the
woman. An operation for organic
tuberculosis at the local hospital was
the immediate cause of death. The
real story of what caused her demise,
however, is not one of sickness alone.
It is the story of a woman who died
of broken heart.
Matrimonial differences with the
millionaire, whose mother objected
to the marriage because the woman
belonged to the 'stage folk" was the
beginning. A legal battle followed
which resulted in Mrs. Swift obtain
ing an absolute divorce and the Gus
tody of her child.
What followed then was told for
the first time yesterday by Mr.. Wen
dal, shortly after all that is mortal
OF the young woman had been placed
in the vault, pending arrangements
for the transport of the remains to
Huntsville, Ala.
Mrs Swift was not only beautiful,
but also gifted with wonderful con-
stitution," began Mr.. Wendal. The
continued fight by Mr.. Swift for the
custody of their child slowly wore
out her nerves and made her heart
sick.
"The fight carried on by those in
terested in getting Baby Jacque'
back to her father, was marked by
heartlessness and cruelty. Early last
fall, when Mrs. Swift, together with
a friend, was at Wrightsville Beach
\. c., she suffered a sudden attack OF
appendicitis.
She was rushed to a hospital at
Atlanta. While there, lowering be-
tween life and death, word was serv-
ed on her that proceedings had been
Instituted for the recovery by Mr.
Swift of the child AS a consequence
she suffered relapse and ever since
her health had been failing and her
death doubtless was the mediate re-
suit
