MEETING Of
THE CITY DADS
LAST NIGHT
SOME SPECIAL ACTS PASSED AT
THE SESSION LAST NIGHT. THE
CITY AGREES TO PAY RENT ON
MISSION. ROUTINE WORK.

At the regular meeting of the board
of city commissioners last night, aside
from the routine work usually disposed
of at such meetings, the mayor was
authorized by commissioners to pay
the rent monthly on the mission now
operated by several ladies of the city
for work among the poor, located in
the Robertson building on south Wash.
ington street. The amount author
lied was ten dollars per month.
A petition was presented asking that
the merchants be allowed to sell fire
works here Christmas, but as that is
in direct conflict with an ordinance
in force, the petition was tabled and
no action taken.
The water commissioner was author
lied to make the necessary contract
and arrangements for furnishing the
refining company with water as soon
as they are ready to begin operations.
Superintendent Bert Foster stated
that the material for the new lighting
system had arrived and would be in
stalled in few days. Under this sys-
TEN the city will get approximately
twice as much light as it is getting
now, for the same money. A few
emergency bills against the city were
audited and ordered paid, and the
council adjourned.

Based on Superstition.

It Is easy to understand how somO
OF the precious stones have acquired
their reputation for occult virtues.
The world-famous belief In "sympa-
thetic" magic accounts for many Of
them; it is form Of homeopathy
based or the maxim that similia sim
ilbrs curantur, but unscientiflcally
accepting any trace Of similarity as
adequate. Thus yellow stones, like
the beryl or topaz, were thought to
euro iaundice. Any red stone would
check hemorrhage, though the blood
stone par excellence Is dark-green
chslcedony or jasper, splashed with
red markings like blood drops. We
may hazard a guess that the we'll
known power of the amethyst to pre-
vent drunkenness, hitherto unex-
planned. may have originated in its
resemblance in color to the nose Of
the confirmed drunkard.

MILL
WAY LOCATE IN
THIS CITY
INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN MADE
IN THE ONE DOING BUSINESS
IN STATE, AND PROPOSITION
LOOKS GOOD.

For some time the Industrial agent
of the Santa Fe has been trying to
interest business men of this city
in a cotton twine factory, such as
week f. X. West, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce at the invita-
ton of the industrial agent visited
Guthrie and made an examination
of the plant
Mr.. West states that they have a
fine little mill that has been in op-
GRAFTON for seven years, and has never
lost a day, with the exception of a
week each summer, in which to
overhaul the machinery.
The mill in question makes twine
and cordage of every description,
from the smallest plain cotton cord
age used as wrapping twine, up to
lines as large as a quarter of an
inch, and the mill is running to
capacity all the time, in order to keep
up with the demand
That mill employs forty people,
and consumes about four thousand
bales of cotton annually, all OF which
is purchased at Guthrie, direct from
the farmers, and nets them better
than the local market price at all
times.
There is only one mill of this
kind in the state and only one IN
Texas. Mr.. Brazelton, the industrial
agent, is sure that another would
make money, as the supply is never
equal to the demand, and for that
reason he is trying to interest people
in this city to erect such a plant.
A mill of this character, 1t is
explained, is net very expensive, as
it can be installed in units and
enlarged as the necessity demands.
Secretary West states that he is
going to talk the matter over with
President Mullen when he returns,
and if they think the plan feasible,
will make an effort TO interest capi-
tai. either local or foreign, to 20
into the business.

HOLD TATE
AND MOORE.
UNDER BOND
YESTERDAY IN COUNTY COURT
DEFENDANTS DID NOT TAKE
STAND IN PRELIMINARY HEAR
ING FOR BURNING STORE.

Yesterday afternoon before Judge
Freeman, viii Tate and Wesley
Moore of Fox, whom II is alleged
fired a store building belonging to
Tate on the night of October 80, in
order that he might collect the in =
surance, were given preliminary
hearing, and bound over to the dis
trict court in the sum of two thou
sand dollars in the case of Tate, and
one thousand dollars in Moore's case.
Four Witnesses were examined by
the state, but none Of the defense's
witnesses were called. The stock and
contents OF the store were insured
for $2,500, and It is also charged
against the defendant Tate, that be-
fore the building was burned, about
one thousand dollars worth of the
and secreted in the loft of a school
house at Fox.
A. G. O'Neal, adjustor for the
Aetna Insurance company of Okla
homa City, was the first witness
called. He told, in a detailed man
ner, how in company with Deputy
Sheriffs Sam Harris and J. B. Brooks
they went to Fox on the night of
December 6, and after secreting their
horses near the school house, they
went inside and awaited develop
ments; how they finally heard the
two defendants talking together with
other persons present, and how, in
the conversation, they revealed the
hiding place OF the secreted goods,
which, up to this time, the insurance
people were not aware had ever been
removed from the building. O'Neal
testified that he, together with the
officers, went to the place desig-
mated by defendants in their CON
vecsation, and discovered the goods,
as stated, in the loft of the school
house, neatly piled and classified.
Deputy Sheriff Brooks, in his tes-
timony, practically corroborated the
testimony of Mr. O'Neal.
VIII Irvine was the next witness,
and told OF circumstances occurring
the night previous to the fire, which
had no material bearing on the case.
Pike Davis was called, and stated
that on the night of the fire his
horse got out of the lot about two
o'clock, that he arose to catch the
animal and. after he had accom-
plished this, noticed a light in the
store of Tate, but whether it was a
lamp burning or a fire, he was un-
able to state, as he did not inves-
tigate.
The sto,e was afterwards discov-
cred to be on fire and blazing within
by Wesley Moore about 2:30.
After hearing the testimony. Judge
Freeman stated that he would hold

the defendants TO the district court
IN the above amounts, which they
furnished and were released. The de-
PENDANTS were represented by Attor-
ney II. H. Brown.
The proceedings were interrupted
long enough for the judge to marry
couple who had applied for a mar
riage license. R. II. Gordon and
Beula Carter of Burneyville were
made man and wife, in the presence
of the court room full of people.

located In a tent Of the north side of
the grounds near the stock barns,
where it will be of Easy access to all
who are interested. AS an education
al exhibit this will far outclass any
thing of it's kind which has ever been
on these grounds. Market types will
be shown, both good and bad, in order
to impress upon the observer the
