100000 FUND
PLANNED To AID
JENNINGS RACE
Ex-Bandit's Friends in Oklahoma
to Back Him Heavily as Can
didate for Governor.

OKLAHOMA CITY. OKLA, Jan.
24-Following Geographic advices
from New York to- day that AL Jen-
nings. former bandit. has decided
definitely to run for the Democratic
nomination for Governor of Oklaho-
ma, his friends have started q move
ment to raise campaign fund which
they believe will reach 100000. They
propose TO make the fund a sort of
syndicate
Behind this movement for an ade-
quate campaign fund is the sentiment
that Jennings did not get a square
deal in the race he made for Prose-
cutting Attorney. He was defeated,
because. it is asserted, his case was
not presented in such manner as to
overcome the prejudice against him
on account of his hold-up operations
in the old days. His managers say
that Oklahoma will be canvassed
thoroughly to see if it is possible for
a man who has really reformed to
come back
Made Plea for Criminals.
Jennings recent memoirs were
States. His plea that criminals who
showed positive indicat ton of reform
be allowed to beat back to the same
opportunities as are within reach of
respectable, law abiding men. ap-
pealed deeply to an astonishingly
large number of persons-to fathers
who had hayward sons: to mothers
who grieved over unfortunate daugh-
ters; to innumerabe persons who for
various reasons had suffered the pen
alties of violations of law or of social
standards.
From such persons Jennings has
received thousands of letters. They
came from men of great wealth, as
well as from vagabonds. In virtually
every letter was an offer of help
money, influence, employment, any
thing that would advance his career
and enable him to demonstrate that
again become a good and useful citi
zen.
Letters Offer Money.
Persons who have read these letters
estimate that their proffers of money
in this State easily aggregate $780,
900. The contributions from outside
of Oklahoma would almost equal this
sum. Jennings. should he wish to do
it, could raise his campaign funds in
other States without drawing upon
his Oklahoma supporters, his friends
say. To utilize some Of these offers,
one proposal-though not known to
Jennings-is that his campaign be
syndicated, just as the building Of a
railroad is syndicated

Man Who Satisfied Her Longing
for Uncouthness Leaves Her
in the Lurch.

RENO, NEW, Jan. 24.-Florence 3.
Folsom, whose husband, Charles
Dwight Folsom, a lawyer. of New
York, was granted a divorce here aft
err he had received a letter from her
saving she had fallen in love with a
ranchman whose brutality captivated
her, is to-day said TO be in a. pitiful
condition in Chico, Cal. Word has
been received here that she is i'll and
without money and that she and her
year-old son, Charles, are abso-
Iutely dependent upon charity.
Mrs. Folsom went to Reno to Sc
cure a divorce, but after being there
a time she became a wanderer in sew
eral West Coast cities. Finally her
husband received a letter in New
York. telling him that she had at last
found q true mate and that he was
A. G. Williams, Nevada horseman
and rancher.
Il am writing this letter because
love our son, because | once loved you,
and because | love Gus Williams" her
letter read. Williams has treated me
with crushing brutality. He has also
treated me with the utmost kindness.
Both are possible to him.
Mrs. Folsom concluded her remark
able missive by saying Folsom was
too much of gentleman for her, an
that though Williams was so illiterate
he could not write his own name legl-
bly,. he possessed the sturdy mascu-
line characteristics that endeared MIN
to her. ,,,,,,..
II is reported now that Williams
has deserted Mrs Folsom and appar-
emily intends to have nothing more TO
do with her.

PENSACOLA, Jan. PA real, live
opossum was captured a few nights
ago by Judge Kirke Monroe, of the
Court of Record, and Col. Robert T.
Ralnes, the animal having been taken
while trying to get into the swinging
door of a seven story office build

turning from the Elks' Club, a block
away, late at night, when they saw
the animal, and Colonel Raines at
once grabbed it by the nape of the
neck and proposes in short time TO

He has sent invitations especially
to Georgians who have of late years

Peculiar After Effects
Of Grip This Year
Leaves Kidneys in Weakened
Condition.

Doctors In all parts of the country
have been kept busy with the epidemic
of grip which has visited so many
homes. The symptoms of grip this year
are often very distressing and leave the
system in a n-down condition, par
ticularly the kidneys which seem TO
suffer most, as almost every victim
complains OF lame back and urinary
troubles which should not be neglected.
as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report a large sale on Or. Kilmer's
Swamp Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. swamp Root
is great kidney liver and bladder
remedy, and. being an herbal com
pound, has gentle, healing effect on
the kidneys, which is almost immedi-
stely noticed in most cases by those
who try it, DR. Kilmer g. Co. Bling

size bottle of Swamp-Root, on receipt
of 10 cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial will convince any
one who may be in need Of it. Regu-

Banquet To DR.. Mcclellan.

A banquet was given on Monday even
ing in the parlors of the First Christian
church by Turkeys Men in honor of DR..
Hugh Mcclellan, of San Antonio. Texas,
and proved to be one of the most enjoy
able of the season. One hundred and
seven guests were seated around the
beautifully appointed tables. An ele-
CANT menu was served and music, wit,
humor and wisdom held their sway for
over an hour. DIR. e. G. McDougle acted
as master of ceremonies in his inimita-
BILE way, introducing the SPEAKERS in a
most graceful manner. Mr.. Z. K Tur-
lev gave a short address of welcome
which was responded to very feelingly
by Dr. Mcclellan. don. W. B. Smith
was called on for speech and in his hui
morous way made some pleasant re-
marks directed toward DIR. B c. Horton,
of the Methodist church. The come
back from Bro Horton was quick, di-
rect and certain, and the sallies of these
distinguished orators were heartily enjoy
cd by the assembled guests. Mr.. Smith
now, knows what Methodist preacher
is and and Bro. Horton knows the capa-
bilities of lawyer. But the last and
best thing of the evening was the dia-
logue between DIR. Vaught and Rev. e
B. Barnes, when each jest:ngly gave his
first impressions of the other.
After this season of good cheer, DR..
Barnes delivered in short and most adj
mirable address, 4 summing up of the
evening and the great pleasure that it
afforded him to have his old friend and
classmate, DR.. Mcclellan, with him once
more.
The good ladies of the church. too nu-
merous to mention individuality, served
the re asst in a most 6 a ,ious style 10
the delectation of the assembled guests
who will remember this feature Of the
evening as one of the best.

McRrARY MUST AcT.

Now comes the horrible news from
Prime eton of the dastardly and criminal
deeds OF the Possum Hunters OF blowing
up homes and whipping men and wo-
men. That section of the State has Tor
seven or eight years been terrorized by
these lawleSs bands and the Governor
should not hesitate TO send armed forces
into that section and keep them there
until every bushwhacker and cowardly
assassin Is driven from the State OF Ken
lucky. IL will be the best investment
that the State can make. aud no one Will
blame the Governor for ordering the
troops there, but many will blame MIN
II he does not do so.
Gov. Wilson did his best by the use
OF the militia to stamp out this lawless-
ness, but IL must be borne in mind tnat
he did not have the cooperation OF AL
the local authorities, and some t~o-oy-
/ four politicians have undertaken TO cen
sure him very strongly for his earnest
endeavors TO protect the good people OF
the State. The right-thinking people
and the law abiding people did not CEN
sure him and will not censure Gov NC
Creary for spending as much money as
is necessary 10 secure peace and the en-
forcement of the law in that crime
wrecked district

Normal School Notes.
(Maude Gibson. p,

In the Model High School last month,
Misses Mary Boggs, Ollie Hord, Eliza
beth Hume and Mr.. Smith Park attain
ed the distinction of having their names
placed on the Honor Roll. This means
that they received E in every subject.
On Saturday morning the \. w. @. A.
gave an entertainment before the stu
dent body at Chapel with selections from
the new Victrola. This instrument is
indeed a splendid addition to the music
al equipment of the Normal and is high
ly appreciated by the young people.
Miss Frances Grant Heverlo was in
Louisville during the week attending the
meeting of the Louisville Alumni Asso-
citation, and while there she was the
guest OF Mrs. Martin, chairman of the
Home Economics Committee of the Fed
eratian of Women's Clubs of Kentucky.
After a dinuer given at the home of Mrs.
John Little, Miss Heverlo gave the BIZ
ography of Mrs. Ellen II. Richards, the
founder of the Home Economics Associ-
alton of the State. This was followed
by election of officers for the year. and
our representative was chosen chairman
of the com mittee 10 prepare course of
study for the State of Kentucky. This
is the first meeting of this department.
which promises to be leading factor
in education in the future.
Normal circles were grieved TO learn
of the death of Mr.. Philip Heiby, of
Delaware, Ohio, uncle of Mrs. j. g..
Crabbe, on Thursday. The sadness of
the family is intensified by the fact that
seven of their nearest and dearest rel
atives have passed away within the last
18 months. Mrs. Crabbe is now in Ohio
with her aged aunt who has been be-
reaved.
Another High School function was a
party given Monday night in connection
with their literary society. This was
held in the High School room, RurIc
Newell Roark Hall. A well-planned pro-
gram was rendered and refreshments
were served.
The young men Of the Normal, under
the leadership Of Prof. VIM. M. Martin,
are doing splendid work in the Rich
mond Jail. Messrs. Poynter. Shepherd.
Hamilton. Kelley and others 90 every
Sunday afternoon to sing and read TO
the prisoners. A class of II are learn
ing to read and write under the direc-
tion OF these young men. The good peo-
pie Of Richmond are aiding in the work
by giving books, papers and other nee
essary material.

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.

The foot and mouth disease has not
reached Madison county, but quite a
stir has been created among cattle men
by the report that il was in their midst.
As usual in such cases, there is much
diversity of opinion as TO what should
be done; also there is difference OF op,n
ion as to whether or not the disease real
" exists. and the HAT is strongly made
that it does not exist at all, but that the
report has been created and given cur
rency for the express purpose of creating
a panic and thus throwing large num-
Der of cattle on the market at once so
that the cattle trust can gobble them up
at its own prices.
We are not in position to advise the
farmers. We have published in these
columns from time to time all the in
formation obtainable about the disease
and will continue TO do so. Instead OF
elimination and recriminatlon, there
should be hearty CO operation among
those in charge Of the quarantine laws
and the owners Of cattle. II is easier to
stamp out a disease at its first appear
ance rather than to fuss about it and al
low il to spread and then undertake to
control the situation. Those vested with
the authority should not hesitate TO en-
force the laws, bee use in the end that
will be best for the people at large. It
is a great hardship on the owners of cat
tie to have to suffer their losses, but it is
far better that few suffer an individu-
al loss than that an entire com munity be
made TO suffer more extended losses
Neglect to enforce the law will bring the
inevitable consequence Of great disaster
TO the whole people.
In our news items we give the state
ment that Gov. McCreary is considering
l. - =.
Legislature TO consider the passage of a
law to reimburse cattle owners for any
loss sustained by them, but this means
long delay and in the end it may be de-
clared unconstitutional. Therefore, the
people should bestir themselves and aci
on the old adage that IAN ounce of pre-
ventive is worth pound of cure"

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES OF
uI(HMOkD- 4

There has been effected tentative or
oanizarion Of the Associated Charities OF
1be Citv of Richmond, of which Mrs X.
]. Mckee is temporary treasurer, and
will receive donations for this iund'
which will be receipted for oy puolc ac-
Acknowledgement in the several papers OF
the city.
This organization was effected Nov
ember 10th, at a meeting held IN the
First Christian church, at whlch tiue II
was decided 20 submit the proposition 10
the city.
The constitution provides for the cleo
ton of a BOARD of managers, composed
of one representative man or woman
from each church in Richmond. repre-
sentative from the city council and three
representatives from the city at-large
who will be elected by the committee
named by the churches and the city
council. The membership dues are 81
a wear. why not ask the Lodges TO
help? They will be pleased to do SOL
AS before stated in these columns, this
is most worthy organization and u IS
TO be earnestly hoped that the same VIII
be completed. 1t is unreasonable 10
suppose that the churches working from
their individual viewpoint can accom-
pIish as much as the city and churches
Likewise there is concentration OF ei-
fort. and il is better that the public
charities of the city be directed by one
head than that some eight or ten differ
emit organizations shall undertake 10 IN
dividually cover the same territory
The cold wave brought much suffer
ing to the poor and they should be pro-
vlded for. 1t is true that many oil the
objects of charity put themselves IN their
miserable condition, but 1t must be
borne in mind that some OF them are not
altogether responsible for their position,
certainly their children are not. Calam-
ity and sickness have brought many
worthy person to restitution and the to-
tai inability of some people to use what
ever talents they may have 10 finan-
ciaI advantage, has kept them continual
" at the bottom of the ladder. These
distressful conditions more than any
thing else bring about the lax moral con-
ditions that prevail in some localities.
Censuring them is unreasonable. There
should be more pity and more effort to
relieve their distressed condition, rather
than censure Cor them.
In this connection, the Belgian relief
fund should not be overlooked. 1t is
true that we have the BelgianS with US,
but there is enough sympathy and kind
heartedness in this city to reach them
all and give relief to the distressed abroad
as we'll as at home. 1t is the test of a
noble heart that gives to the absent SUI
ferer as well as to those at home.
Moonlight schools and the Associated
Charities of the city can and ought to
work hand in hand, and such space as
we can reasonably spare 10 promote any
OF these worthy objects, is at the dlspoS-
al of these noble bands of workers.

Burglars.

Last week City Attorney D. NJ. Che.
nault was awakened about IL o'clock by
a poise in his house and discovered tina,
there was burglar in his room prepar-
ing TO relieve him of his hard-earned
cash. but when Mr.. Burglar found that
Mr. Chenault was awake and on the job.
he ran from the house and took refuge
in the dense shadow of trees on the
lawn. Mr.. Chenaul3 called Police head
quarters and informed them that the
burglar was making his rounds.
The fellow then proceeded to the res
idence of our merchant prince, Mr.. w.
d. Oldham, and effecting an entrance,
proceeded to rife the room of Mr. Har-
old Oldham, taking about $24 in cash.
Last Sunday night the burglar was
again on the job and went through the
residence of w. s. Oldham, at which
place he obtained S11.
Monday afternoon about 5 o'clock a
sneak thief entered the residence OF
Judge j. d. Dykes and stole two watch
es and purse containing some small
change.
