TWO GERMAN BANKS
 ARE FORCED TO CLOSE


 LONDON, Feb. 14.-Dispatches from Berne, Switzerland, say that two of the largest banking houses in southern Germany have failed. The banks have combined capital ization of several hundred million dollars and their failure is believed to be the forerunner of many other banks being forced to close their doors. The failure of the German financial houses is regarded by the British bankers as significant of in dustrial conditions in Germany and the prediction is made that the gov ernment will be unable to secure further loans with which to continue the war.

POLICE ARE BOMBING
 STATE FOR WAITER


 CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The police of Chicago and surrounding cities are making a vigorous search for the waiter who is believed to have poisoned the soup while serving at a banquet given in honor of Arch bishop Munderlein last week. The officers believe that the man was a member of some anarchistic society, and that he deliberately attempted to poison the guests at the banquet in order to klll Gov. Dunne of Illinois, who was one of the fifty men present.
 Several of those who were poison ed are still under the care of phyci- clans but it is stated that all will re- cover. A reward has been offered for the apprehension of the waiter.

MORE CHARACTERIZATION"

The Forty-Ninth Star prints an al leged letter from Emery Valentine of Juneau, in which the ex-mayor of the capital city is made to say that he never heard of the Star editor being mixed up with the Treadwell. May be Mi. Valentine didn't read the Jul neau Transcript in 1907, or he has forgotten what he read. Here's one of the numerous excerpts bearing on Honest John's' love for the hard working miner copied verbatim from the paper he was running at that time:
 THE TKEADWELL TROUBLE.
 With .the lawyers gnawing on one end and the labor unions at the other, the mining industry in Alaska will be woefully handicap ped.
 "The trouble at Treadwell is s most peculiar one, and the result will be watched with great interest.
 "In the first place the strikers are nearly all ignorant foreigners. Out of the 1900 men in Treadwell, only 79 vrtes were cast in the last election. Tie larger portion of the money pald to these men was sent out of the country, ard much more is continually paid as expenses in sending for other foreigners to come here and take the place of American working men.
 "Then again, the strikers in Alaska have to deal directly with the Federal government, no State or County authorities interfering, and if it comes to show down, especially in this instance, where the strikers are nearly all foreign CTS, Uncle Sam will speak in no un- certain tones.
 "If these foreigners don't like to
 work at the Treadwell, they should quietly retire from the isl- and and leave the company to en- ploy whom they please. They are extremely wise in keeping entirely within the limits of the law for one bad break-and Uncle Sam will do the rest"
 These Foreigners" were union miners who had struck for higher wages, a course evidently not sane tioned by the editor of the Transcript. Their actions had the sanction of the Union officials in their course. The Treadwell company may not have had the editor of the Transcript on their payroll, but it amounted to the same thing-he was arrayed with the company against the strikers.

.SOLD FRAME" CORROBORATED. }.

Since Hon. James Wickersham has loaned his house for printshop and bunkhouse to the former editor of the Juneau Transcript he gets no more reflections like those below. which appeared in the aforesaid Transcript on the dates given with them. At that time the gent who com- piles the dope for the local organ Of discontent was bitterly f1aying the un- ion labor forces of the Treadwell mine, and if not in the employ of the Treadwell people, shou4u have been we'll paid for his articles against un- .Jn labor.
 That he was also a warm, personal friend of his present benefactor, the following excerpts show:
 (Reprinting a Washington dis patch which said. Gov. Hoggatt is here, and is supporting Wick ersham's confirmation; Senators Nelson of Minnesota, McCumber and Hansborough of North Dakota are still bitterly opposing it.)
 "Wickersham seems to be quite a necessary man to those who are
 trying to get control of railroad and mining interests in Alaska. Wonder if the president is trying to copper something?"--Edito- rial comment from issue of Satur- day, December 29. 1906.
 What Alaska needs is an hon. est, able, judiciary. We are called hard to please in Alaska, because we will not lie supinely on our back and permit such men as Moves, Brown and Wickersham to let their henchmen, Hills. Macken- zie and Barnette, some of whom are ex-convicts of the penitentiary, rob us of our mining claims and fisheries in Alaska. Stand by your guns, boys, and we will give MT. Roosevelt to understand. that he canl palm off his rotten, doted-in- the-butt timber off on us and have us say we are pleased. .'-Editorial January 18th.
 May the Lord Have Mercy.
 "The appointment of Jim Wick ersham for another recess term is the most cowardly thing that Pres ident Roosevelt has done since his election to office. The President was afraid to send Wickersham' s name to the Senate, knowing that he was appointing man that the Senate of the United States would not confirm. There is no prece- dent in the history of this country where the president has practiced chicanery and treated the Senate of the United States with such di-

Without the activities of these men,
your town would be dead-property in

The State Capital is with Mr.. Fields
IN his campaign for rural consolidated
schools. Oklahoma has always run
heavy on the side Of highes education
and woefully neglected fundamental
education.
The rural consolidated school is the
nearest approach possible to supply ing
efficient educational institutions to the
people OF the entire state. The school
money OF this state belongs to all its
people, and the more general the ben
etits derived from its expenditure the
more i1dicious has been its use.
The rural consolidated school should
have the first call on the state school
fund and the policy OF diverting state
school money for other uses should not
only be stopped, but every cent that
has heretofore been taken from this
fund for uses other than for which il
was created, should be returned at the
earliest possible moment -Oklahoms

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS CONTESTS.

A report should have reached this
office last week OF the Boys and Girls
Club contests, which were held at the
high school building here last month
but for some reason, though headed
this way by County Agent Newson it
failed to arrive and for that reason we
are late with our report. The showing
made by the several members of the
Clubs were very lattering indeed and
speaks much for the enterprise and en-
ergy of the boys and girls of Beaver
county. The following ia the result of
the contest winners Of honors in each
department:
PIG CLUB: Dorothy Shuler, Gray,
First.
Burl Gregory, Beaver, Second,
Lester Pyle, Boyd, THIRD.
POULTRY CLUB: Lorena Fronk

Beryl Fsonk, Elmwood, Second.
Elmer Classen, Balko. Third.
GRAIN SORGHUM CLUB; Chester

Harlan Munger, Bslko, Second,
Ernest Savoy, Beaver, Third.
The winners of the First prize in the
contests we're awarded free trip to
the State fair. Transportation ex-
penses were paid by the Beaver Com.
merciaLClub. The other expenses we're
paid by the state.
Second prize winners will get trip
to the Winter Short Course at Still
water with all expenses, except rail-
road fare.
There being no provision made for
prizes for the winners Of the Third
place, business men OF Beaver felt
that they should have recompense for
their efforts and accordingly the
Probst Grain Co., Savage Cash Grocery
aud Davis Drug Co., contributed s. 90
each which was awarded to Ernest Ss-
voy, Elmer Classen and Lester Pyle.

Of the boys and girls who received free
transportation from the Beaver Com

the firms indicated, and the children
themselves, have requested us to thank
all for their interest in their behalf
and to assure them that their generos-
ity and public-spiritedness will not be
forgotten by the farmer boys and girls

CAPITOL DOME MONEY BELONGS TO
SCHOOL CHILDREN

The question of the dome for the
state capitol Is becoming real live
issue.
John Fields, former republican can
didate for governor and editor Of the
Oklahoma Farmer, has declared open
war on the proposition In the cur
rent issue OF his paper, Mr.. Fields
sayg:
Gift Of dome for capital ia offered.
Capitalist, ashamed of appearance of
building, makes proposal
"Some of you have seen these STAR
ling headlines followed by a story of a
my thical capitalist who finds the state
capitol building SO offensive to the
eye without dome that he would put
one on himself, il necessary
This is just a part of the plan that
is being laid to organize the next legis-
lature for the purpose of repeating the
law which gives the balance of the
public building fund to rural graded
schools and Of dividing the loot among
various State institutions.
1t is less than two months until elec-
tion day. The last legislature took
three-fourths million dollars away
from rural graded schools and turned
it over to the state capital building
commission. 1t failed to pay TO l07
consolidated schools about tl50,00C
which was due them and which was on
hand in cash.
"The next Legislature will try to
finish the job and this capitol dome
dope is merely a part of the prelImI-
nary work. The plunderbund worries
a lot about capitol building without
dome, but it isn't worrying about
more than a quarter million country
children In Oklahoma whose educa-
tional opportunity was limited to what
may be had in one-room country
schools. And supplementing these
touching appeals to the esthetic sense
tof the people will follow stories telling
how the people are hungering for the
higher learning which state institu-
tions could supply, if only they had
more appropriations for buildings.
But you folks who live in the coun-
try will get about what you have COM
ing to you. II you consider the educa-
tionsl welfare of your own children,
you will make sure that the men whom
you elect to the legislature may be de-
pended upon to block this game. But
more than likely you'll put party pol
itics first and forget all about things
of vital personal interest to you and
you rcommunity.
