Oklahoma's Victimised
Man Posing as African King Getting Rich
Colored people in Okfuskee county are much perplexed because there resides in their midsomm who styles himself Prince Sam, claiming to be an African king, bent on inducing as many as possible of the Colored people of this country to return to their native soil. Prince Sam says he has just completed the construction of a large steamer in the New York ship yard which he will use in transporting his American flock to the balmy climes of Africa. The conditions upon which he will take people to Africa is the payment of $25 for each family and it is said that he has secured at least 117 families who will pay the required sum. Those who do not pay the $25 in advance on the recommendation of Prince Sam will have to pay $150 to get to Africa. The Prince does not receive the money himself, but advises each applicant to forward it to an address in New York. Some of the most thoughtful Colored people in that vicinity have corresponded with people in New York only to find that the representations of the African chief concerning the ship and his New York company is utterly false, and that in all probability Chief Sam is an impostor traveling over this country fleecing the people out of their money. It is said Prince Sam was arrested at Boley a week or two ago for receiving money under false pretence, but was acquitted because it could not be proven that he have a totally received money from any one to whom he sold a birthright in his steamer bound for the shores of Africa.
Prof. W. B. Warren of Wetum kce was a visitor in this city last week and gave the information that the African chief was doing a big business in that community It is also reported that an ac complice of the "chief" was in Muskogee a few days ago.
Editor and Family Surprised
Editor and Family Surprised
The editor and his wife were made the guest of honor at a very pleasant little surprise party last Wednesday night which planned and successfully carried out by some of our good friends who without any word of warning or invitation came upon us and showered us with many good things. This was a token of friendship that we praise very highly and for which we are indeed very grateful.
Came Back TO Marry
A quiet little marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. Jas. A. Johnson Wednesday, Sept. 25, at 522 North Elgin when Homer M. Wallace, lately of Gathrie, and Miss Irene Taylor of Hot Springs, Ark., were united in holy matriom. The couple met each other in this city a few months ago and an enraptared courtship followed. The groom had just returned from Kansas City, where he had been for several weeks.
THE TULSA STAR SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, OCT. 4 19 1913
VernonCole Gels Doll
The Doll Contest which was held at the Y. M. C. A. concert at the A. M. E. Church Tuesday night was one of no little interest to the doll lovers of this city. A number of little girls had busied themselves selling tickets for the contest in an effort to sell the highest number of tickets and thus get the beautiful brown skin doll which has been on exhibition for the last week or two in the show windows of the Economy drug store.
The contest resulted in little Vernon Cole, niece of Mrs. P. S. Cleaver, getting the doll. Vernon won by just one ticket. Little Miss Cole sold $14.10 worth of tickets and the second highest number was sold by Dr. Key's little girl, who sold $14.00 worth.
The proceeds went to the Y. M. C. A.
Dick Bardons' Store
On the last page of this is we carry a half-page ad of the Dick Bardon Brokerage firm. It is nothing for any kind of merchant to advertise in newspapers, but it certainly means something for them to live up to their advertisements. The Dick Bardon store is one of the best, and most favorably known stores in Tulsa known not only to the menewed class but to the working man and woman as well. Perhaps there is no man in Tulsa who is doing more to help others to help themselves than Dick Bardon.
A visit to this store will convince you that it is far above the regular "pawn shop." It is a place where you may get relief from financial distress or where you can save money for yourself in the purchase of the many beautiful and useful articles which will certainly catch your eye when you step inside the door. Suppose you stop in and get acquainted with Dick Bardon.
Dry Farming Congress Big Event of Oct.
The International Dry-Farming Congress will soon open her gates in this city and thousands of people from all parts of this country and some from other countries will come to Tulsa for this one event. The colored people of Oklahoma will be represented at this Congress along with other people, the plan to have a separate building having been abandoned. The Colored Dry-Farming Association of Oklahoma has been working studiously for the past thirty days and their work promises to bring good results. It is only a short time now to the day for this great body to meet and every colored hibits should take up correspondence with H. A. Guess of Tulsa.
The new high school building will soon be ready for use. It is ample for this year, but another year will find us in need of another school building. We are growing with the town.
Deputy Cleaver Makes Statement
Editor: The Tulsa Star
Dear Sir--Since Policeman Williams has taken exceptions to my right as deputy sheriff of this county to arrest a murderer and caused some unjust criticism of my department I desire to make a statement concerning the arrest of J. D. Evans nearly two weeks ago for the murder of his wife. On the morning of the killing a short time after the fatal shot was fired, I went to Evans' store and residence and found the dead woman lying prostrate on the floor near the bedroom door and Evans in the room. I immediately placed him under arrest after a brief investigation. I later saw Policeman Williams in another room unloading the revolver, as if he was afraid it would go off again and shoot him. I did not think it was right for him to thus destroy what evidence there was at hand, so I relieved Mr. Williams of the revolver and took my prisoner to the county where he belonged. Of course, I could not tell whether he intended to arrest the man or not. At any rate, he had not done so.

MRS. RJUTER CONVITED Jury Recommends Life
Dramatic Scene In Court Room As Clerk Reads Verdict
Accused Woman Swoon Protesing Her Innocence
After nearly two weeks of hope anxiety, humiliation, suspense and legal contending, the famous Reuter murder trial e me to a dramatic end at Bartlesville Friday when a ju y of twelve men returned their verdict finding the defendent, Mrs. Laura Reuter, of this city, guilty of conspiracy in the murder of her husband, Charles T. Reuter, at the Reuter home this city in May 1912.
Two men are now serving out life sentences at MeAlester for the murd and another, Joe Bellew, obtained his liberty by turning state evidence in the case. Mrs. Reuter has all along protested her innocence and even while the jury was still out she felt confident of acquital or at worst a hung jury. The long nerve wrecking ordeal of the trial had its effect and when the verdict was read in Court the little woman, her face pale and trembling, screamed as though her heart would break, calling pathetically on her dead husband to come ack and exonerate her. With her two little children at her side pitifully ying and begging that their maurice be allowed to go with them Mrs. Reuter swooned. Every one in the Court room were usibly affected. Even the Judge, he jurors, and lawyers wept.
Mrs. Reutter was allowed to go on
her old bond and she returned to
Ulsa Friday night. Motion for a
new trial was made and will be
argued soon. The jury fixed the penalty
at lifetime in the pen.
Man of Mystic Science In City

Prof. Bonner was born in far away India 106 years ago but he does not show his age in his acts or lobbies. Besides being versed in the occult science the old man is a lecturer of no mean ability and has an extensive knowledge in dicine being a student of Bellvale Medical School of New York.

Capt. Jackson Address Farmers
The Farmers Renevolent Association did not give their picnic and free barbecue last week as advertised because of the inclement weather, but rendered an impromptu program at the reading room Friday night, and among others Capt. T. D. Jackson delivered one of his characteristic speeches, which was in part as follows:
"My friends, while the country is at peace with the good white people of Tulsa and the good colored people are at peace and is prosperous, there are nevertheless many grave problems claiming the attention of all serious Americans, among which is the relationship of all mankind under the

lag. We, as a race, must declare our faith in the democratic form of society in which we live. No other form of society guarantees to the individual the requisite freedom for the maturing of his powers for great public service and, at the same time, secure to the individual the fruits of his own toil. I believe that a democratic form of society requires for its members in all things that make for good government righteous civic life, economic industrial prosperity. We regard equality of opportunity as the sacred guarantees of a democratic society to each and all of the members. I wish to say to this association right here that I believe that the owning of property anchors in community life; that it develops a consciousness of manhood and womanhood and that each ownership has moral value since it implies thrift, economy and a sense of cautious citizen in his community."
The 50th anniversary of the emancipate on and progress of the Negro will be featured for one week at the First Baptist church in this city commencing Monday October 13th

FARM POULTRY
STAPLE FOOD FOR POULTRY
Grain Will Be Used as Long as Fowls Are Kept on Farms—Hen Must Have Certain Varieties.
Grain is the staple food for poultry, will be used for that purpose as long as fowls are kept on farms; but hems cannot give good results on grain alone. It is beneficial to them, and will be at all times relished, but the demands of the hen are such as to call for a variety. In the shells of eggs, as well as their composition, are several forms of mineral matter and nitrogen, which can only be partially obtained from grain.
Even though grains carry in composition for a long time, hens will begin to refuse it, as they may be oversupplied from other sources. For this reason they will accept a change of food which is of itself evidence that the best results for his hens can only be obtained from a variety of food. Corn and wheat may be used as food with advantage, but must be given as a portion of the ration only, and not made exclusive articles of diet.
In grain the principle articles or elements required to keep a hen in good laying condition are found, and it is for this reason that your hens may continue to lay for some time if only given grain, provided they find the other elements necessary while running around the farm. But the trouble with this manner of feeding is that it is too uncertain.
You are taking the chance of the hen finding the other elements required. No hen has ever laid an egg unless she has taken into her system elements from the vegetable, animal and mineral kingdoms. Grain can represent the vegetable kingdom, bugs or insects, the animal, and grit or oyster shell, the mineral. It is absolutely necessary that every hen partake of these elements before she can produce a single egg.

The ends are made of one-inch material, and the rest of the hopper of half-inch stuff. Any lumber that is at hand may be used, and the construction is so simple that anyone able to use a hammer and saw can knock one together in a very short time.
Weight of Chicks.
If at the beginning of incubation an egg weighs about two ounces the newly hatched chick will weigh about $1 \frac{1}{4}$ ounces, at one week old two ounces, three weeks old $6 \frac{1}{4}$ ounces, four weeks old ten ounces, five weeks old 14 ounces, six weeks old $18 \frac{1}{2}$ ounces, seven weeks old $23 \frac{1}{2}$ ounces, eight weeks old 28 ounces, ten weeks old 36 ounces, 11 weeks old 41 ounces. Thes figures will of course be modified by the feed and the care the birds get, but they show the normal development under favorable conditions.
ANNOYED AT HIS GOOD LUCK
Traveler's Railing at the Perversity of Fate, as Related by Senator Tillman.
Senator Tillman rashly declared some time ago that the frying of chicken was a lost art in Washington, and ever since that day he has been deluged with Washington fried chicken by parcel post. He had no idea that Washington housewives were so sensitive.
"I am now converted," he said recently. "I now admit that Washington fried chicken is superb. But still every mail brings me more and more pullets and capons and yearlings. My case is as hopeless as the commuter's.
"A commuter was in a dreadful wreck. The collision had been head on, four coaches were telescoped, flames burst forth, the shrieks and groans of the dying mingled with the hiss of escaping steam and the roar of the fire.
"The commuter, black as a coal, was dragged out by the feet from under a mound of charred and mangled corpses.
"A physician bent over him anxiously.
"Are you hurt?" he asked.
"The commuter opened his eyes and stretched himself. Then, rising, he snarled:
"Hurt? Me? Of course I ain't hurt! I never am! I can't be! I carry an accident insurance policy." —Washington Post.
One Obstacle to Happiness
"No," declared the young man, with a touch of sadness in his voice—"it may be that some day I may be happy, but at present it is beyond me."
Consternation and pity were depicted on the faces of his friends.
"You can't marry on $10,000 a year?" asked one. "Why not?"
"Why not?" echoed the youth.
"Simply because I haven't the $10,000!"
ECZEMA ITCHED AND BURNED
Falmouth, Ky.—"Two years ago I was troubled with skin and scalp troubles. I would have pimples that would break out and form sores on my face and head, with terrible itching. The eczema on my face and head itched and burned and when I scratched it, it made sores and I was very disfigured for the time being. My head became so sore I could not touch it with a comb; it became a mass of sores. My hair fell out gradually.
"I was afflicted about a year before I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment and after using them three weeks I was getting better and in less than three months, after using eight cakes of Cuticura Soap and five boxes of Cuticura Ointment, I was completely cured of eczema." (Signed) Frank Vastine, Dec. 12, 1912.

In the Singular.
George Ade, at the Chicago Athletic club, listened to a youth's passionate panegyric on love.
"Wait till you've married her," said Mr. Ade. "Wait till you've been married to her fifteen or twenty years. Then you'll be like Sinnickson.
"Sinnickson's wife looked up from a novel the other evening and said dreamily:
"I've been thinking, dear, of our courtship—those ecstatic days!"
"Humph! said Sinnickson, shaking his fat, bald head. "That ecstatic daze, you mean."

EIGHT-HOUR SYSTEM FOR HIM
One Wonders What This Old-Fashioned Farmer Did With the Rest of His Time.
"Farmers, thank goodness, take life a little easier, thanks to their various unions and combinations, than they used to do."
The speaker was John H. Klimble of Port Deposit, secretary of the Farmers' National congress, an organization of 3,000,000 farmers. He continued:
"Farmers are not nowadays like old Cornellus Husk. A new hand said to the old man one morning in the harvest season:
"I suppose you believe in the eight-hour system, Corney?"
"That's what I do,' grunted old Corn Husk, as he swung his pitchfork vigorously. 'Eight hours in the forenoon, eight hours in the afternoon, and two or three hours overtime after supper in the hay and harvest season—that's my system.'"
Fishing for Fish.
Many people there are who delight in just fishing for fish. Such a one was John Quincy Adams. The story was told by one of his clients, whose case was to be tried on a certain morning, that he could not get his counsel to leave his fishing boat except long enough to write a note to the judge which read: "Dear Judge—For the sake of Izaak Walton please continue my case unutil Friday. The smelt are biting, and I can't leave." And the judge having read the note, announced to the court: "Mr. Adams is detained on important business."—Christian Herald.
No. It Wasn't Lost.
"Tom," said the head of the firm to the new assistant, "the bookkeeper says you've lost the key to the safe and that he can't get at the books." "I only lost one of them, sir. You gave me two, you know, just in case one should get lost." "I know. Have you the duplicate?" "No, sir, I haven't; but it isn't lost. I took care that it shouldn't be. It's in a safe place." "Where is it?" "In the safe, sir!"

A certain customs ruling relates to that animal, the mule. An American contractor took some mules into Mexico for use upon some construction work there, and upon the completion of the contract brought the mules back to Texas. The customs officials insisted upon his paying duty, but the contractor claimed free entry for the mules as "articles of American growth returned without being advanced in value." The officials declared, however, that the board of appraisers has sustained them, that mules are not "articles." What, then, are they? It they are persons, they are certainly entitled to come back home. Since the decision that a hen is not a bird, the customs service has got its natural history fearfully and wordlessly mixed.
WORLD'S GREATEST FARM EXPOSITION
INTERNATIONAL DRY-FARMING
CONGRESS TO BE HELD AT
TULSA OCT. 22-NOV. 1.
DELEGATES FROM ALL THE WORLD
Every Continent and Every Race to Meet and Discuss and Compare Best Methods for Cultivating Semi-Arid Regions
The world's most important farm convention for 1913 will be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, October 22 to November 1. Men from thirty nations will attend the eighth annual meeting of the International Dry-Farming Congress there and will tell about methods of farming in all regions of slight rainfall or occasional drouth.
Official delegates are expected at Tulsa from every continent on the globe. China, whose farmers have tilled the same lands for forty centuries, will be officially represented by its minister of agriculture, Chun Sen Chan. Tunis, in north Africa, which has been a dry-farming region since the time of Houmbal, will have representatives in Tulsa to learn even more of the science which its farmers have practiced for 2,500 years. Persia, whose agriculture is as old as history, will have at least two delegates, including the Mirza Ali Kull Khan. Palestine will send its greatest agriculturist, Dr. Aaron Aaronsohn, who today conducts a huge farm on land which the shepherds used in the time of Christ.
Fourteen governors of states and scores of congressmen have accepted invitations to be present. On top of all these will be tens of thousands of actual farmers who will come from every state in the Union and from every province in Canada to study methods whereby they may increase the yields per acre on their own farms.
The great farm meeting at Tulsa will be held in nine sections, beginning October 27 and lasting five days. The Exposition held in connection with it will begin five days earlier, on October 22, and will last until November 1. One sectional meeting will be devoted entirely to talks about soils, tillage methods and farm machinery.
In other sectional meetings will be studied the home breeding and selection of seeds, live stock and dairying, feed and forage crops, farm forestry, the right kind of education for country boys and girls, farm management and farm engineering.
The real purpose of the International Dry-Farming Congress and of its meetings is to teach methods for the conquest of drouth. It has nothing to do with politics, colonization or religion. It is not an agricultural college, neither does it conduct experiment or demonstration farms. It merely collects from all possible sources the available information about methods whereby farmers may increase their yields per acre, the quality of their crops and their bank accounts in all regions of light or irregular rainfall. It then passes this information on, through its annual conventions and its publications, to the farmers in many nations.
The International Congress now has officers in nineteen nations and members in sixty and its influence for the development of farming methods is world-wide. Its work is of especial importance through the southwestern states, all of which are subject to occasional drought which in many seasons cuts the profits out of farming. In even the driest years, however, thousands of farmers are making good through the practice of the new methods which are revolutionizing agriculture. These farmers will be at Tulsa and will help in making the Eighth Congress and Exposition the most important meeting of its kind ever held on the American continent.

ALMOST BEYOND HUMAN ENDURANCE
Were the Agonies Which Miss Lance Underwent. She Lives to Tell the Story, However.
Palmer, Okla.—In a letter from this place, Miss Forrest E. Lance says: "As I have been benefited by the use of Cardui, the woman's tonic, I want to write this letter for publication, as it may be the means of helping other suffering women.
For three years, I suffered so, at times, with my back and bearing down pains, I would think I could not, possibly endure the pain. I gradually got worse, and would look with dread for these trying times to roll around.
Finally I decided to try Cardul, the woman's tonic, as I had heard so much of its help to other women, and how glad I am that I did, for I can truthfully say that I have been greatly benefited by taking only four bottles; in fact, it has entirely relieved me.
I can truly sympathize with any sufferer from those awful pains due to womanly trouble, for I have certainly had the experience of them."
As a medicine for women who suffer from the numerous alliments peculiar to their sex, or as a tonic for tired, nervous, worn-out women, Cardul has a record of more than 50 years' success.
It has benefited thousands of women in this time, and should do the same for you.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS
At the Twelfth Regiment armory, New York, commencing October 22 and continuing for ten days, an exposition is to be held to show the advancement made by the negro race in the United States during the last fifty years. The exposition is also intended to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation. It is claimed that the exposition will represent more than 10,000,000 persons in the United States. The state's approval of the exposition was given in May last when the legislature passed an act appointing the emancipation proclamation commission, consisting of nine members, all negroes, and appropriating $25,000 for the purposes of the exposition. While the sum of $25,000 is not sufficient to meet the expenses of the exposition, contributions made by wealthy negroes in various parts of the country guarantee that there can be no failure of the enterprise through lack of funds. One negro in the south who owns thirteen plantations and is said to be worth not far from $750,000 has contributed heavily, while large contributions have been made by wealthy negroes in New York and other cities. Invitations to attend the exposition have been sent to every negro of prominence in the United States, to a number of white persons of importance and to General Philippe Auguste, the negro president of Hayti, who, if he cannot attend in person, will send a delegation to represent the black republic, whose first president was a negro slave, Touissant l'Ouverture. A delegation from Santo Domingo is also expected and a representative from the government of Liberia.
The colored cooks who were marked type of southern farm life before the war are rapidly passing away. On thousands of plantations these cooks were born on the place and remained in service even after freedom came to them until they were taken to the little family burying ground for final rest. Occasionally one of these old colored cooks can be found still doing good service. The average pay for colored cooks on southern farms is from $5 to $8 per month. An exceptionally fine cook and one who has been in service many years sometimes gets as much as $10, but such wages are rare. The younger generation of colored cooks demand much higher wages and southern housewives find themselves compelled to pay from $15 to $24 per month in order to keep first-class servants—Exchange.

More than eight per cent. of the total wealth of the negro race is invested in church property. Fifty years ago, emancipation time, the negroes had scarcely any means of religious development. The entire south contained but 100 negro Sunday schools, and there were but three institutions of higher learning where a negro could be trained for the ministry. There are now 26 theological schools for negroes. Four large publishing houses devote their entire output to the needs of negro churches. Education of negroes in the south has shown similar gains. There were less than 100 schools for negro children at the close of the war. Now nearly 2,000,000 colored children are enrolled in public schools in the south, in care of 24,000 colored teachers. Higher education has increased correspondingly. In view of these facts economic advances is to be expected. The average negro just before the war was salable at about $500. Now there are 5,000 negroes in the professions and 30,000 engaged in business, including 64 negro banks. They own wealth estimated at $700,000,000. It is estimated that a free negro is now worth $2,500 to his community, five times his value to his former owner
The seventy-third annual Indiana conference of the A. M. E. church was held at Marion, Ind., recently, Bishop Benjamin Franklin Lee of Xenia, O., had charge of the conference. The first annual conference in Indiana was held in a little log schoolhouse on Blue river, in Rush county, in 1840, Bishop Morris Brown of Washington presiding. The intervening years have seen the conference grow from a few churches, scattered over the state, to nearly 500 churches, of which Bethel A. M. E. church of Indianapolis stands at the head. The state is divided into three conference districts, namely, the Evansville, Richmond and Indianapolis, with presiding elders living in the latter city in charge of each. The reports made were encouraging.

The well is producing over $2,500 a day and Sarah gets one-eighth of this as her share.

EMBLEM OF NOBLE WORK
Double Red Cross, Symbol of War Against Tuberculosis, Was De- vided by French Doctor
The double red cross, the symbol of the war against tuberculosis, was first adopted by the symbol of the International Anti-Tuberculosis association in Berlin in October, 1912. The proposer of the symbol was Dr. G. Seriron of Paris, who is now associated secretary of L'Association Centrale Francaise Contre la Tuberculosis. Today the emblem used by antituberculosis workers in every part of the world, even in Iceland, India, South Africa, Labrador, Japan, China and the Philippines. The double red cross is similar in shape to a cross used frequently in the Greek Catholic churches, and also to the Lorraine cross of France. In the United States over 1,200 antituberculosis associations and committees, nearly 550 sanatoria and hospitals; 400 dispensaries and about 200 open air schools, besides a number of other organizations, are using the double red cross as their emblem. Wherever it is seen, it means war against tuberculosis.
The precise difference between the longitude of Washington and Paris is to be determined by representatives of both nations.
HAPPY OLD AGE
As old age advances we require less food to replace waste and food that will not overtax the digestive organs, while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape-Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley by long baking and action of distase in the barley which changes the starch into a most digestible sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up under the outer-coat of the wheat, are included in Grape-Nuts, but are lacking in white flour because the outer-coat of the wheat darkens the flour and is left out by the miller. These natural phosphates are necessary to the well-balanced building of muscle, brain and nerve cells.
"I have used Grape-Nuts," writes an Iowa man, "for 8 years and feel as good and am stronger than I was ten years ago."
"Among my customers I meet a man every day who is well along in years and attributes his good health to Grape-Nuts and Postum which he has used for the last 5 years. He mixes Grape-Nuts with Postum and says they go fine together.
"For many years before I began to eat Grape-Nuts, I could not say that I enjoyed life or knew what it was to be able to say I am well. I suffered greatly with constipation, but now my habits are as regular as ever in my life.
"Whenever I make extra effort I depend on Grape-Nuts food and it just fills the bill. I can think and write a great deal easier."

The Paper Cost
Booby's Aunt Been had been sent, she about her travels in Switzerland and something particularly her visit to Lake Luzerne. "We got aboard the little paper boat that sails all over the lake Booby," she remarked. Booby listened to this statement in sounded wonder, but made no comment. Under he gald to his mother: "Mamma do you know people go outting in paper boats on Lake Luzerne? Isn't it awful queer?" Nonsense, Bobby. People couldn't sail in paper boats.

So he can love and virtue and also your soul destroy.
