CHIEF SAM EXPOSED! Same Man Toured the Country Several Years Ago Hoodooing The Public A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE CHIEF SAM Same Man Tour Several Years The In spite of the timely warning given the colored people of Oklahoma by the colored press of the state against Chief Sam, many have become victims to his fraudulent scheme and are still hoping they will realize the truth of Chief Sam's false docrines. This man of mystic powers has caused considerable interest among the people of the state and he has been so well satis fied with his work that he is still lingering in Oklahoma inducing colored people to sell their farms and go to Africa. Many sold thei farms some time ago expecting to sail for the balmy shores of Africa on the 15th, of last Dec., but when that time came, Chief Sam had a new story to tell, explaining why it was necessary to postone the trip till the 15th of Jan. When the 15th, of this month comes around, what will be his dope? The colored people of Arkansas have been notified that Chief Sam will visit them some time this month or in February and they are awaiting his coming, some with anxiety, some with clubs. If the Chief expects to visit Arkansas this month and next month when will he take the people to Africa who have paid him their $25.00? The Colored Bar Association of Muskogee passed a resolution last week to get in behind Chief Sam and force him to show his hand or compell him to leave the country—which he will probably do soon. The African Chief studiously avoids Tulsa because he knows he can not find the usual "easy pickings" among the colored people here. He passed through this city New Year's day but kept in hiding between trains. The following is a letter to the editor of this paper from a man who is personally acquainted with Chief Sam: Mr. Editor:—I knew "Chief Sam" in West Virginia. "Chief Sam" is not his name but one of his many aliases. He practiced "hoodoo" around Freeman, Good Will and Pochahuntas, West Va. He claimed to have been brought from Africa by Bishop Turner several years ago. He passed as an A. M. E. preacher. He knew almost every cow trail in Oklahoma and many people that I knew in Oklahoma. How is it no one hasn't discovered that he once made a tour of Oklahoma some ten or fifteen years ago? He then was lecturing on Africa, as an African. He carried a young crocodile in alcohol, exhibiting it as one of the gods the African's worshipped, and how is it no one re members him? In West Va., he carried around this crocodile claiming to have taken it out of a woman thus aiding his hoodoo practice. I have just returned from West Va. I am an Oklahoma but have been away for nearly two years. I am now in charge of A. M. E. church at Beggs. There are more negroes in the wood pile than "Chief Sam"—No wonder the Grand father Clause ivists in Oklahoma.

Improved Conduct The Star office is informed by Officer Williams that the general conduct and bearing of our people during the holiday week was the best for many years. He reports that not a single arrest was made among our people, while several were to the credit or discredit of the whites. Such reports are always gratifying to the Star, since it has been our fight to make Tulsa a better place in which to live and rear our children. LOCAL NEWS J. S. KIRBY, City Circulator RESIDENCE,--215 E. Cameron Mr. J. W. Foster of Okmulgee was a caller at the Star office last week. We wish one and all of our readers a Happy New Year.

Menelik Dead Again The Emperor Menelik II is now reported dead this time said to be absolutely official. This wonderful African King is reported to be a direct descendant of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. When his father died Menelik was only 12 years of age. The throne of Abyssinia was siezed by Kaseal, who proclaimed himself King, but Menelik escaped and became ruler of the Kingdom of Skoa. From that time he has been the torpor and enemy to all intruders upon his territory, and ruled his subjects with an iron hand. Menelik declared himself a Christian and maintained a church with a mixture of Christianity and hetheism. He is said to possess a fortune of $25,000,-000. Kansas Farmers Meet The negro farmers of Kansas held their annual meeting of the Farmer's Association a few days. From reports we gather that this alliance of men who till the soil and grow grain, fruit and various products, was a very resourceful and alltogether profitable gathering. Men engaged in the development of the varied products gave their experiences and illustrated in many ways their successes and failures in the methods of improved farming, was helpful to each other and proved conclusively that the present negro farmer is wide awake and up-to-date. The Association decided to hold a Farmer's Fair during next annual meeting at which time they propose to show by contrast in the exhibition cmfwyp etaoin shr exhibition of old and new machinery, old and new methods etc. as applied to farm life, then and now. Altogether this association iis a big improvement on those usually held by men of our race which have been held only to further the selfish ambition of some designing Negro leader We like this idea of a farmers meeting so well that we would suggest and urge upon the Negro farmers of Oklahoma to organize a similar association Rev. A. C. Chinn pastor St. John's Baptist church, at Mounds, was in Tuksa over Sunday, the guest of Mr. G. W. Henry. XMAS WEEK IN TULSA Our People Celebrate With Entertainments, Social Gatherings, and Various Kinds of Services SPEECH OF CAPTAIN JACKSON DELIVERED DEC. 27, AT THE CELLEBRATION OF SAINT OHN DAY BY COAL CREEK LODGE. Ladles and Gentlemen: We as Masons have assembled here today to celebrate what Masons call, King Solomon's day, the 27th of Dec. King Solomon and St. John dedicated the temple at Jerusalem. Every since that day we as Masons are want to meet annually and as often to tell the old story of the origin of this institution and to present to the people who honor with their presence our public assemblies that same old dish called masonic history, tracing the institution back to the time when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy. My friends, free masoury is a moral institution, established by virtuosemen, with the prais worthy design of calling to our remembrance the most sublime truths in the midst of the most innocent and social pleasure. Brothers and sisters, of the masonic fraternity, if we have had a death in our families, if sorrow and suffering have been visited upon us, if there has been a constant visitation of hard luck during the year which is just closing the day with masons, you will still have reasons to thank the Giver of all perfect gifts, that things have been no worse with us as a race. Every mason and every beautiful star member of our noble order ought to be thankful that they have come through and that they can see the sunshine and feel the patter of the rain on the roof of the temple; that they are permitted to view the wonderful transition of the stars; that some mysterious power, call it what you may, guards us, and protect us through all of the troubles and all of our masonic distresses of this troublesome world. 'We as a race, my sisters and brothers, do not know what it is. But, thre is somewhere all the time, every where terrestrial and celestial something which the great Richileu said controls the destinies of this struggling world. As masons, we can say that it has been good in the year just passed. A new movement is on with us as reasons. We must have a hall and we have some sisters and brothers who are willing to help to get one too. I am glad to know that we have some members of our race who are trying to work out some plan or plans, whereby conditions of the race may be bettered. During our half century of free masonry, we have made marked progress along all lines of human endeavor and the hope of our race lies in our ability to make greater strides in the future. My friends, I am trying to get you all, as masons, to concern yourselves not only with the affairs of the men and the women of the race of today but we must seek to so guide and direct the youth that they may be better prepared than were their fathers and mothers to enter into all the activities of citizenship and national life. I am trying to find some ground of mutual sympathetic and harmonious cooperation in the hearts of these mas ons in Tulsa, Oklahoma, upon which the race may work for the common good, in an effort rich in possibilities and worthy of the time and energy devoted to its development, as intend through this masonic movement, if we (continued on Page five) OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Subscription $1.00 Per Year EEK IN TULSA Celebrate With Enter- cial Gatherings, and Ous Kinds of Services The Xmas week opened with a good-sized snow, followed by cloudy weather. But for all that the people showed signs of keeping merry the week, and celebrating the Yule tide with the usual spirit of joy and good cheer. The Second Bc church of which Rev. F. V.

The event was a brilliant success and much credit is due the W. M. Mr. J. T. Owens, for this splendid ovation. The public in general were also invited to the free grace of the lodge. The writer was invited to speak but being indisposed could not attend. This ended the Xmas week of 1912, and to say the least, the people of Thula did themselves proved and deserve commendation. Ry H. R. G. MAKES REFORMS IN CURRENCY SYSTEM New Money Measure Is Most Important Law Relating to Finance Enacted in Many Years—Salient Features of the Code Succinctly Explained. Washington, Dec. 23.—The new bill affecting the currency, banking and finances of the country is one of the most far-reaching measures relating to finance that have been enacted in many years. The magnitude of the subject, the diversity of interests affected and the length of the debates in both branches of congress has to follow the changes and grasp the essentials of this highly technical measure in its important bearings on money, finance, banking and the entire range of fiscal subjects, public and private, which it affects. will select from eight to twelve cities where regional reserve banks shall be located and will divide the entire country geographically with these cities as the centers of districts. A national banks in a district will be required to subscribe for the stock of the regional reserve bank in that district and to keep a portion of the reserves there. Known as "Member Banks." Local banks will be known as "member banks" because they will own the stock of the regional reserve bank of their district. Each member has Summary of the BILL. With a view, therefore, of presenting succinctly and in non-technical language an epitome of the salient features of the measure as finally framed, the following summary is given of the bill as a whole and of its principal details: Generally speaking, the first steps to be taken to bring into operation the nation's new financial system will be through an organization committee consisting of the secretary of the treasury, secretary of agriculture and controller of the currency. Banks have 60 days within which to file their applications for membership in the new system, and one year's time is allowed before the government will compel the dissolution of any national bank that refuses to join. WILL "Take Up the Slack." The new law will make little direct change in the operation of the present national banks, except to allow them to loan a certain amount of their funds upon farm mortgages. Its chief purpose is to add a new piece of machinery to the banking system that will "take up the slack" during the changing business conditions of each year; that will give the banks a place to quickly convert their assets into cash in time of need, and that will bring out new federal currency when it is needed, and retire it when money becomes "cheap." Banks are now required to keep a certain percentage of their deposits as "reserves," part in cash in their own vaults and part of which may be redeposited in the banks of New York, Chicago, St. Louis and other designated cities. In times of sudden financial demands, when banks have loaned up to the full Limit of their resources, these reserves furnish little relief, because if they are paid out to meet demands the banks are left in a precarious condition Basic Principle of Law. The basic principle of the new law is to get these reserve funds out into circulation when necessary without lessening the safety of any bank, and to provide a place to which local banks may rush in a crisis and get cash for the "prime commercial paper" they hold in their vaults. This is to be accomplished through a chain of regional reserve banks, or "reservoirs of reserves," in which all banks shall deposit a stated part of the money they are required to hold as reserves. Under the new system, when a financial flurry comes the banks can take commercial paper, such as notes, drafts and bills of exchange, to these "reservoirs," and secure the use of their own reserves, or, if necessary, even the reserve of other banks, by depositing this security. The new regional banks will receive about one-half of the bank reserves of the country. They in turn will be permitted to loan back to the banks all but 35 per cent, of these reserves, so that in case of emergency millions of cash can be brought out into circulation quickly. The banks will have to pay for these loans, however, as individuals have to pay for a loan from any local bank, and this charge is expected to prevent the too free use of the reserves held by the regional banks. New Paper Currency. A new form of paper currency is also provided for, to come out in case of emergency, and which is expected to go back into the hands of the government when times are normal. These "treasury notes" will be printed by the government and issued through each regional reserve bank, and will bear the guarantee both of the regional bank and of the government. The following analysis presents the details of the new law without adhering closely to the technical division or language of the measure: At the head of the system will stand federal reserve board at Washington, appointed by the president, and to consist of the secretary of the treasury, the controller of the currency and five other members. Two of these shall be expert bankers, but none shall have banking affiliations or own bank stock during their service. This board will exercise general control over the entire system. The temporary "organization committees" or the federal reserve board. will select from eight to twelve cities where regional reserve banks shall be located and will divide the entire country geographically with these cities as the centers of districts. All national banks in a district will be required to subscribe for the stock of the regional reserve bank in that district and to keep a portion of their reserves there. Known as "Member Banks." Local banks will be known as "member banks" because they will own the stock of the regional reserve bank of their district. Each member bank will be required to take capital stock of the regional reserve bank, equal to 6 per cent. of the member bank's capital and surplus. The capital of the regional bank will increase or decrease so that it always represents 6 per cent. of the combined capital and surplus of all the banks of the district that have joined the system. National banks are compelled to join and state banks are permitted to if they bring their reserve requirements up to the standard set for national banks and submit to national examinations. Public Can Buy Stock. Public ownership of the stock of the regional reserve banks is permitted only in case enough banks do not join in any district to provide a capital stock of $4,000,000. In such event the public may purchase the stock in quantities limited to $25,000 for each individual, but the voting of this stock will be placed in the hands of government representatives on the board of directors of the regional reserve bank The regional reserve banks may do business only with their member banks, not with the public, except that certain "open market operations" such as the purchase and sale of gold, government, or municipal bonds, and certain forms of bills of exchange, are permitted. These banks will make their earnings from the loans made to member banks, and from the purchase and sale of bonds and foreign bills of exchange Must Put Up Cash. Member banks will be compelled to put up in cash only one-half of their subscription to the capital of the new banks, the rest can be called for if needed by the regional bank. Dividends of 6 per cent. will be paid on this stock to the member banks, and the stock will be non-taxable. After these dividends are paid one-half of the surplus net earnings goes to create a regional surplus fund, and when this has reached 40 per cent. of the regional bank's paid in capital these earnings are to go into the United States treasury. The balances of the net earnings are to be paid to the United States as a franchise tax With the machinery thus created for a new banking system that is supplementary to the commercial banks of the country, the law provides for a gradual transfer of part of the bank reserves to these new "reservoir" banks. In order not to disturb business conditions, or to withdraw too suddenly the heavy deposits of country banks in the large cities, the law provides that three years may be consumed in shifting these balances and that, if necessary, part of the reserves transferred to the regional banks may consist of commercial paper. The amount of reserve required from every bank under the new law, and the place where it must be kept, are as follows: Country banks—Total reserve required, 12 per cent. of demand deposits and 5 per cent. of time deposits. Five-twelfths must be held in the bank's own vaults for two years and four-twelfths after that. For the first year two-twelfths must be kept in the regional bank, increasing one-twelfth each six months thereafter until it reaches five-twelfths of the total reserve. For three years the unallotted part of the reserve may be kept in the banks of reserve cities. After that time it must be kept either in the country banks and vaults or in the regional reserve bank. Reserve city banks—Total reserve required, 15 per cent. of demand and 5 per cent. of time deposits. Six-fifteenth must be kept in the bank's vaults for the first two years and five-fifteenth after that time. Three-fifteenth must be kept in the regional reserve bank for the first year, increasing one-fifteenth every six months thereafter until it reaches six-fifteenth. For three years the unallotted portion of the reserve may be kept in other banks, in its own vaults, or in the regional bank; after that time in one of the latter two places. Regional Reserve Banks. These immense funds of reserves from "member banks," together with government moneys, will make up the deposits of the regional reserve banks. Each of these banks will be admin- tered by a board of nine directors, six of whom will be elected by the banks, and three appointed by the federal reserve board. The regional reserve banks may redistrict—that is, buy at a discount from its member banks—"prime commercial paper" when the member banks desire to convert these assets into money. Character of Paper. The exact terms of this important provision as to the character of paper upon which the regional reserve banks may furnish cash are as follows: "Upon the indorsement of any of its member banks, with a waiver of demand notice and protest by such banks, and federal (regional) reserve bank may discount notes, drafts, and bills of exchange arising out of actual commercial transactions; that is, notes, drafts, and bills of exchange issued or drawn for agricultural, industrial or commercial purposes, or the proceeds of which have been used, or are to be used, for such purposes, the federal reserve board to have the right to determine or define the character of the paper thus eligible for discount, within the meaning of this act. Nothing in this act contained shall be construed to prohibit such notes, drafts and bills of exchange, secured by staple agricultural products, or other goods, wares, or merchandise, from being eligible for such discount; but such definition shall not include notes, drafts, or bills covering merely investments or issued or drawn for the purpose of carrying or trading in stocks, bonds or other investment securities, except bonds and notes of the government of the United States. The "Elastic" Element. The new treasury notes, which are to furnish the "elastic" element in the currency system, and to add to the country's circulating money in time of need, will come into use in the following way: The notes will be printed by the government, with a distinctive style for each regional reserve bank. One of the three directors named by the federal reserve board for each regional bank will be known as the "federal reserve agent" for that bank, and a supply of the notes will be placed in his custody. Should a regional bank desire to pay out more money than its cash resources will permit, the law provides that it may put some of its rediscounted commercial paper into the hands of the "federal reserve agent," and received in return the new treasury notes. For each note that it puts out into circulation, the regional reserve bank must set aside in gold 40 per cent. of the value of the note as a guarantee for its redemption. This gold, with the commercial paper held by the "federal reserve agent," is the protection behind the new money; but these notes will also be guaranteed by the government and may be redeemed in gold in the United States treasury. Each regional bank, under the act, must keep a reserve of 35 per cent. of the deposits it has received, besides the 40 per cent. gold reserve behind the treasury notes it issues. If the gold reserve behind the notes falls below 40 per cent. a heavy tax is imposed on the bank, which in turn adds the tax to the rate it charges member banks for rediscounts. This was designed to stop an over-expansion of currency. In times of sudden stress the federal reserve board can suspend these reserve provisions, in order to furnish quick relief to any community. Take Up Bonds. None of the existing forms of currency except the national bank notes will be disturbed by the new law. The United States bonds, now used to secure the issue of national bank notes, are to be taken up at the rate of $25,000,000 a year by the regional reserve banks and new treasury notes or short term three per cent. bonds will take their place. National bank currency is expected gradually to retire. The federal reserve board will exercise final control over the entire operation of the system. It can compel one regional bank to loan to another in time of need; can suspend all restrictions surrounding the reserves which regional banks must hold, and can remove directors of regional reserve banks whenever it is believed necessary. Banks In Control. While the banks retain control of the boards of the regional reserve banks, their connection with the federal reserve board is only through an advisory council, made up of one representative from each federal reserve district. This council will meet in Washington to confer with the federal reserve board "on general business conditions" and to make recommendations and suggestions concerning discount rates, note issues, and reserve conditions. An important change in national banking methods embraced in the new low will permit all national banks except those in New York, Chicago and St. Louis to make direct loans on five year farm mortgages up to 25 per cent. of their capital and surplus, or up to one-third of their time deposits.

About eleven years ago I became troubled with an itching, burning eruption which came on my hands and feet in little water blisters and in about a day or two when I would let the water out or wash it out, using my hands, then the places would fester and itch to beat the band. I could not do any work that was rough on my hands at all. It caused me great suffering and inconvenience. "I tried everything that I knew of or was told and never was really relieved until I began using Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I would wash the parts in water with the Cuticura Soap and then when I dried them I would apply the Cuticura Ointment on the surface in the daytime, and at night I would get a soft piece of cloth and apply the Cuticura Ointment on my hands and let it stay that way all night. A perfect cure was effected. No one will ever know how glad I was to get my hands and feet cured." (Signed) Geo. C. Crook, Nov. 25, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

TERRIBLE SCENES ENACTED WHEN PANIC BREAKS TERRIBLE SCENES ENACTED WHEN PANIC BREAKS FOOL CRIES'FIRE' DEATH TRAMPLES 72 INNOCENTS CHILDREN'S HAPPY FROLIC WITH SANTA CLAUS TURNED INTO TERRIBLE SHRIEKS OF AN-GUISH AND SORROW. DISASTER FALLS UPON MINERS' CELEBRATION Christmas Celebration for Children of Calumet Strikers Made a Scene of Death for Seventy-Two by Foolish Joke of a Drunk Man. Calumet, Mich.—Seventy-two persons, mostly children, were killed at a Christmas celebration by copper mine strikers in an Italian hall because of a needless panic caused by a false alarm of fire. While several hundred miners and their wives looked on, the children pressed eagerly toward the stage to receive Christmas presents. At this point a man put his head in at the door of the hall and yelled "Fire!" The cry was taken up by those in the hall. Everyone started for the doors. The weaker were thrown to the floor and those behind tried to climb over those ahead of them. The stairway and other avenues of egress were blocked so effectually that those inside could not get out, and those without could not get in to aid the panic-stricken crowd in the hall. It was some time before the panic subsided. The alarm was spread outside the hall by a few persons who had been near the door and escaped unhurt. A crowd soon assembled and the work of clearing the hall was begun. The principal exit was a narrow stairway at the back of the hall. When this had been cleared of the bodies that filled it to the top and a quick accounting had been made, it was found that seventy-two corpses had been piled up beside the hall building. The dead that were piled up beside the hall included thirty-seven girls, nineteen boys, eleven women and five men. Excited men and women stood about the building, some dazed by the sudden change of the festivities to tragedy; others calling hysterically for a child and a few even threatening violence to the rescuers for keeping them back from the long row of bodies.

There was not much work for the many doctors who hurried to the scene as soon as the alarm was spread for those who were not killed in the first rush were held upright and saved by the very force of the onrush toward the exit. Only three injured persons were taken to hospitals and a few went home assisted by friends. For many days the children of the copper mine strikers had waited expectantly for the Christmas tree exercises that had been arranged by the Woman's Auxiliary of the Western Federation of Miners. The entertainment was set for the early evening and the hall, which is on the second floor was soon filled to its limit. The children elected to recite Christmas selections and sing carols had finished their part of the program and the man selected to play Santa Claus had appeared to distribute the presents that Even the children were seized with panic but the small children, many not more than five years old, soon were deprived of fear with the snuffing out of their lives under the heels of the larger persons who, blindly or because impelled by those behind, trampled their very offspring to death. One man was seen to stoop to plck up his little girl only to be pushed with such force that he trod her beneath his feet. A woman who ran to seize three small boys was seen to fall as she sought to shield them in her arms. Searching for Alarmist. A search was begun for the man who caused the panic. It was said that the man came up the stairs from a saloon below. It was said by some of those present that the man may have been in a maudlin condition and shouted the word without any thought as to what he was doing. Many swore vengeance if the man who caused the catastrophe could be found. It also is feared that the TULSA. OKLA. STAR were piled around the large illuminated tree. The children were instructed to march up the aisles to the tree so that the presents could be handed to them. The aisles were filled with boys and girls when a large-bodied man thrust his head into the door of the main hallway and shouted "Fire!" Mischief-Maker Escapes. A woman who was near the door realized the import of the act and seized the man by the shoulders and tried to counteract the alarm, but her efforts were futile. The man wrested himself from her grasp and ran away and the cry of "Fire" was repeated throughout the room. The word was shouted in several languages as parents rose and rushed forward to get their children. The lives were crushed out in almost a twinkling. Then the physical impossibility of further movement brought the panicky persons to their senses. It was realized too late that there was no fire, but most of those in the hall could not get out of the jam they had caused. Policement and firemen hurried to the building to find the hall congested. Several officers climbed the fire escapes and entered by the windows. In a short time the uninjured and the faint had been pulled from the tangle of human beings and placed in the front of the hall. Other men began to pull the bodies of the dead and helpless from the stairway and lay them in a row beside the building. The disposition of the crumpled bodies was found inadvisable because pf the hysteria it caused among the spectators and the bodies were carried back into the hall as soon as it was emptied of frightened spectators. All the chairs were lined with bodies and corpses had to be placed in the kitchen of the hall and beneath the stage. Within an hour almost every person in Calumet was at the scene. Police formed a cordon about the place and kept back the crowd. After much effort a lane was opened through the chowd and the bodies of the children were carried through the ranks of mourning men and women to Red Jacket village hall, which was turned into a morgue. It was many hours before all the bodies had been identified. For hours frantic women ran the streets calling for their little ones. Efforts were made to calm the women and many were taken into homes that had not been bereaved so that they might have proper attention. Crowd Mostly Children. Of the 700 persons in the hall more than three-fourths were children, many of them having gone without their parents. These fathers and mothers soon rushed to the scene and added to the confusion. They did not understand what had taken place and hindered the rescuers by asking for information as to what was the matter. There was a fire escape at the rear of the building, but only those who were very near it could make any use of it until after the fatal rush was over. Probably not more than a hundred persons escaped the first rush by way of this fire escape. About a score more jumped from the windows near which they sat. As it was not many feet from the ground the jump did not cause injury. The Italian hall was built about five years ago and was well provided for eergencies, it was thought. The entrance was a hallway about ten feet deep. A stairway about eight feet wide let up from this vestibule to a small landing about eight by ten feet. The main door of the hall opened on this landing. There is a small cloak room about ten feet square to one side of the main door. The los of life was heavy at the small door of this room. The rush apparently turned many against the door of this room and crushed them to death within the doorway. distraught condition of mind under which many persons are laboring as a result of the disaster may renew open hostilities between members of the miners and the Citizens' Alliance. The coroner has begun an investigation. Holiday festivities here generally have been abandoned. Among those killed was John P. Westloa, secretary of the Finnish Mutual Life Insurance company in Calumet. Citizens of Calument and Houghton rallied to the aid of those bereaved by the panic. Residents of Houghton pledged $1,200 and a committee was appointed to take charge of additional subscriptions. This action was taken at a public meeting at which resolutions were adopted pledging the citizens of Houghton to do all in their power to relieve the distress here. Arrangements already are under way for a public funeral of the dead and the suspension of all work in the copper mining district during the funeral, is probable.

Class Meeting, Thursday nig WHAT 1913 BROUGHT TO THE WORLD Washington.—Really the year 2013 has been a happy and rather forbade one for the world in general. It was not married by any great estate people such as the best Francisco Carrillo or the Titanic disaster; it saw the end of the wars in the ball game; it witnessed the inauguration of a Democratic president in the United States, followed by genuine tariff reductions without financial panic. The church roll for the year year has all the financial world rather hard, in shifting such notable figures as J. P. Morgans, Henry M. Piagler and James R. Kempe. The Roman Catholic church also took two of the most ren- sible cardinals, Gregoria, Dean of the mortal college, and Kangpolie, once bordory at the Vatican, and who would have been pope instead of Pius X and not the emperor of Austria, not against him. In the United States political developments have been extremely interesting, but not startling. Every thing seems to have gone the way of the Democratic Democratic victories were won last November in New York city, the state of New Jersey and state of Massachusetts. Congress has gained the currency bill, and the bank has liberated the country are adjusting themselves to it. Ovings in Mexico. Boys of the Rio Grande development ments have been startling and rapid. The year 1912 saw in Mexico the assassination of President Francisco Madero, Vice President Pino Suarez and Gustavo Madero, brother of the president, the usurpation of the presidency by Gen. Victoriano Huerta, boosted into that position by General Felix Diaz. Then came the rupture between Diaz and Huerta, with the practical banishment of Diaz. Later in 1912 came the rise of Venustiano Carranza, leader of the constitutionalists in the north of Mexico, with the result that the powerful northern states of Mexico are now under his control. Scarcely had Carranza become famous than Francisco "Pancho" Villa, former bandit, with a price on his head, leaped into the limelight as a rebel leader serving Carranza, and it is now questioned whether Carranza or Villa is the stronger in the leadership of the constitutionalist forces. In its relations with Mexico the United States has stood firm. Early in his administration President Wilson announced his determination to withhold recognition from the Huerta administration, and although much pressure has been brought to bear, the president has refused to change his attitude. Efforts have been made to induce Huerta to retire and allow a fair and honest election, without result. Today the United States has a heavy armed force at the border and an impressive array of battleships off the coast. Assassinations of the Year. Barring Mexico's barbarous achievements, there have been few assassinations in countries generally recognized as being civilized. George I, king of Greece, was assassinated by a mad anarchist in Salonika, March 18. In Turkey the commander in chief of the Ottoman forces in the Balkan wars, Enver Bey, was shin on February 17. This was followed soon after by the assassination of Nazim Pasha, Turkish premier. Turkey and Mexico appear to have been contending with each other for honors in the line of assassination, with Mexico slightly in the lead. European affairs have gone along rather as usual, barring a few extra startling outbursts by suffragists in England, such as the sensational suicide of the young suffragette who threw herself before the king's horses in the derby and was killed. Politically England has been in a furor, which, however, is nothing out of the ordinary. The year has seen the very remarkable "rebellion" of Ulster, under the direction of Sir Edward Carson, and the organization of an "army" of Ulstermen to resist enforcement of the home rule bill should it pass parliament. England has also had its share of labor troubles. There have been large strikes at home and in Ireland, notably the Dublin riots, led by Jim Larkin. All of the European powers have gone on as heretofore in the construction of battleships, and the "armed camp" policies of Germany, England, France and Russia are stronger than ever, possibly made so by the Balkan wars. In the Far East. In the far east several things of moment occurred in 1913, among them the Chinese rebellion and establishment of a republic, and in Japan the death of the Mikado and the succession of his son and the anti-American demonstrations and riots as a result of the adoption of the antiallen land-owning law in California. In the realm of science and explora- tion there have been but few developments that could positively be designated as history-creating. The discovery of the south pole and the disaster to the South expedition both occurred in 1912, although the fate of Captain Scott was not made known to the world until 1922. Dr Fredrich Franz Friedmann, discoverer of a "cure" for tuberculosis, made his appearance in 1912, but the value of Dr Friedmann's "cure," and other "cures" for that dread disease announced at about the same time, are very much open to doubt. Great strides have undoubtedly been made in the treatment of cancer, but no positive cure has yet been discovered, although much has been learned about the value of radiation. Aviation is programming rapidly. Much attention to aeronautics has been paid by the various European governments from a military standpoint, but no means of making aeroplanning anywhere near safe have yet been discovered. France has organized and trained a military aviation corps that would unquestionably be of great value in case of war, and Germany has devoted much time and money to dirigible ballooning. The United States has spent some $60,000 during the year in military experiments in aviation. The number of deaths resulting from aviation has not been especially large. Aviators have died, just as aviators died in 1912, and Germany suffered a number of disastrous accidents to Zeppelin dirigible balloons. Many of the accidents of aeroplanes resulted from Lincy exhibition flying and military experiments. The year 1912 saw the first aeroplane flight over the Panama canal On the Panama Canal. In Panama great developments have taken place. October 10 last saw the dynamiting of Gamboa dike, being the removal of practically the last serious obstruction in the big ditch. The canal is now almost completed, so far as a trans-continental waterway is concerned, although not yet prepared for the passage of steamers from ocean to ocean. Work has also been begun on the buildings and grounds for the great Panama-Pacific International exposition, to be held in San Francisco in 1915, as a celebration of the formal opening of the Panama canal. New York state furnished the most sensational bit of local politics of the year in the impeachment and removal of Gov. William Bulzer, followed by Bulzer's nomination by Progressives and election to the state assembly. In the world of sports the United States still stands supreme. In addition to humbling the British polo cup challengers, the United States further shocked Johnny Bull when Francis Ometet, the youthful golf wonder, walked away from the English experts in the national open golf championship at Brookline, Mass., and by the winning of the international Davis tennis cup. America's supremacy in sports was further recognized during the year when King Gustave of Sweden presented the American athletes with the medals and trophies won at the Olympic games in Stockholm in 1912. The sporting world suffered a shock, however, when it was learned that "Jim" Thorpe, the famous Carlisle Indian athlete really belonged in the classification of "professional." He voluntarily renounced the trophies he had won as an amateur in the Olympic games. Here are the leading events of the year: Disasters, Fires, Floods.

Made by Van Vleet-Mansfield Drug Co., Memphis, Tenn. Price $1.00 FARM REVENUE GREATEST EVER PRODUCTS RAISED DURING 1913 WORTH SIX BILLION DOLLARS. CORN IS WORTH $1,926,000,000 Cotton, Hay, Wheat, Next In Value; Best Year On Record.—But Cost of Living No Lower. Washington.—Ten billion dollars worth of products, $5,000,000,000 of cash income—in spite of drouths and other setbacks—is the 1913 record of 6,000,000 American farms. The United States' most successful year of husbandry produced $6,100, 000,000 worth of crops of which $2,896,000,000 were represented by cereals alone and $3,650,000,000 worth of animals sold and slaughtered and animal products. The value of the 1913 crops is twice that of 1899, more than a billion dollars over 1909 and substantially greater than 1912. Of all the crops, it is estimated that 52 per cent will remain on farms and that 20 per cent of the animal production also will remain. On that basis the cash income is estimated at $5,847,000,000. Despite a record year of crop value—although the record of production has fallen—and the fact that the number of farms has increased 11 per cent since 1910 until there now are estimated to be 6,000,000 farms in the country, the department of agriculture in a discussion of the subject does not take the view that a lower cost of living will result. Corn valued at $1,926,000,000 comprised 28 per cent of the value of all crops, although the volume was under the record. Other principal crops with values are given in the order in which they come: Cotton, $798,000,000; hay, $797,000; wheat—the largest crop ever raised in this country—$610,000,000; oats $440,000,000; potatoes, $228,000,000; tobacco, $122,000,000; barley, $96,000,000; sweet potatoes, $43,000,000; sugar beets, $34,000,000; Louisiana cane sugar, $26,000,000; rye, $26,000,000; rice, $22,000,000; flax seed, $21,000,000; hops, $15,000,000; buckwheat, $10,000,000. A new high record in estimated value is made by the total of all cereals and separately by corn, cotton, cotton seed, tobacco and sugar beets. Only once has there been a higher estimated value for oats, rye, rice, potatoes, hay, hops and the total of beet and cane sugar. Only twice has the estimated value of wheat and of beet sugar been exceeded. "Dairy products of 1913 are estimated at more than $814,000,000; eggs and fowls have an estimated value of more than $578,000,000. "The wool production of 1913, estimated at 306,000,000 pounds, was over $51,000,000. "The prices of 14 principal crops average about 20.2 per cent higher than a year ago and 4.6 per cent higher than two years ago. Their total values average about 3.8 per cent higher than a year ago and 7.6 per cent higher than two years ago. The cotton crop now seems to be established in value as next in order after corn. The lint of this crop in 1913 at the price of December 1, had an estimated value of $798,000,000, and this was not equaled in any former year. It is $15½ cents above the average of the preceding five years. The estimated number of bales of 500 pounds gross produced in this year was 13,677,000 consequently this crop has been exceeded in quantity by the crops of 1911 and 1912. If cotton seed is added to that of the lint the total farm value of this crop amounts to $945,000,000, an increase of 16 per cent over the average of the previous five years. Texas usually produces from one-fourth to one-third the cotton crop of the United States. The cotton crop of the United States in 1913 covered 36,011,000 acres, it is estimated, an increase of 5 per cent over 1912. INQUEST AT CALUMET Conflicting Testimony As To Identity of Man Who Yelled "Fire." Calumet, Mich.—Two out of a score of witnesses testified before a coroner's jury that the man who caused the Christmas eve disaster in Italian hall here wore a white button like the bade of the Citizens Alliance. The union lawyer did not comment on the fact that the president and half a dozen members of the women"s auxiliary of the federation swore that they saw no insignia on the man and that union members who stood in the vestibule of Italian hall for an hour before the panic started said the alarm came from within the hall and no person wearing a button had passed them. SEES THE APPROACH OF AGE Old Dad Bing Grieved at Outburst of Intolerance Over Comparatively Trivial Incident. "I have always aimed to give everybody a square deal," said old Dad Bing, the well-known Oklahoma cattle baron, "but I notice as I grow older I am getting sorter intolerant. As I was coming to Kansas City yesterday with a few loads of steers and was snoozing in the corner of the caboose a young feller hopped on board and held us up. It used to be that I'd take such things philosophically, but this time when he kicked me in the ribs to wake me I flew up so sudden that my hat fell off and the infernal scoundrel trudged all over it. Well, sir, before I thought I yanked his gun away from him, bent it over his head a few times and booted him off onto the right-of-way. And as he sorter clumb up into a sitting posture a-pawing at his head I yelled: 'Next time you come pettifoggin' round holding me up, try to be a gentleman about it! That there hat you tromped on was mine!' I shore do get intolerant as I grow old!"—Kansas City Star. But the Juryman Had Gone. Only once was Judge Hannen known to be hoaxed. It was when a juryman, dressed in deep mourning, and downcast in expression, claimed exemption from service, as he was, so he told the official, deeply interested in the funeral of a gentleman at which he desired to be present. "O! certainly," was the courteous reply of the judge, and the sad, melancholic looking man left the court. "My lord," quietly interposed his faithful clerk, as soon as the former juryman had gone, "do you know who that man is that you exempted? "No." "He is an undertaker." GIRLS! GIRLS! TRY IT, BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR Make It Thick, Glossy, Wavy, Luxur- iant and Remove Dandruff—Real Surprise for You. Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and appears as soft, lustrous and beautiful as a young girl's after a "Danderine hair cleanse."

This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil and in just a few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair.

If you care for pretty, soft hair and lots of it, surely get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store and just try it. Adv. Indiscreet Professor.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., Proprietors TULSA. OKLA. STAR The daily cares of keeping house and bringing up a family are hard enough for a healthy woman. The tired, weak mother who struggles from morn to night with a lame, aching back is carrying a heavy burden. Many women believe that urinary disorders and backache are "female troubles" and must be endured. But men suffer the same aches and troubles when the kidneys are sick. Women are especially subject to kidney disease. Tight clothing, indoor work, the ordeals of childbirth, the worry, and the stooping, straining and striving of housework all help to bring it on. At first the trouble may be only backache, sick headache, dizziness and a drowsy, dull langual feeling, but this condition is dangerous to neglect, for dropsy, gravel and deadly Bright's disease start in some such small way. Don't be discouraged. When backache, nervousness and irregular or painful passages of the kidney secretions begin to bother you, use Doan's Kidney Pills, the remedy that has brought new life and strength to thousands of suffering women. There are no poisonous nor narcotic drugs in *When DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS Sold by all Dealer LAWYER EVIDENTLY A YOUTH No Man to Whom Years Had Brought Wisdom Would Have Asked Such a Superfluous Question. A Chicago lawyer recently received a call from a very well-groomed, stylish young person. "Sir," said she, "I am in great distress." "Please state your case, miss." "The difficulty is this: "I have received three proposals of marriage, and I do not know which to accept." After a painful pause, the lawyer, more in facetiousness than anything else, asked: "Whatch man has the most money?" The young woman shrugged her shoulders. "Do you imagine," she asked, "that if I knew I would consult you or any other lawyer?" FRUIT LAXATIVE FOR SICK CHILD FRUIT LAXATIVE FOR SICK CHILD "California Syrup of Figs" can't harm tender stomach, liver and bowels. Every mother realizes, after giving her children "California Syrup of Figs" that this is their ideal laxative, because they love its pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels without griping. When cross, irritable, feverish or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue, mother! If coated, give a teaspoonful of this harmless "fruit laxative," and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. When its little system is full of cold, throat sore, has stomachache, diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remember, a good "inside cleaning" should always be the first treatment given. Millions of mothers keep "California Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a teaspoonful today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups printed on the bottle. Adv. Receipted. Down in a southeast Kansas town, relates the Kansas City Star, lives a rather simple-minded youth by the name of Bill Beasley, whose facility in contracting small debts at the local stores is only equaled by his success in evading their payment. One day recently, however, Bill made the mistake of showing some money before one of his creditors, and after the hard fought argument which followed the money was handed over to the storekeeper. "Now," said Bill, sadly, "we're square, and I want a receipt. Make it legal, so you won't be after me again." Expert Opinion. "What's most liable to get broke about your automobile?" "The owner," replied Mr. Chuggins. No, Alonzo, the world doesn't care how you got your money; all that interests it is what you are going to do with it.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo And After That Sermon, Too! "Oh, George," cried the fair young vision in blue, as she floated into the drawing room and found her lesser half reading the latest novel. "You really ought to have come to church with me this morning. Such a beautiful sermon. I'm sure it would have done you good. All about dishonesty and stealing, and petty meanness. No one could help feeling better for it. I do wish you could have heard it." "Really, my dear," murmured George, and tried in vain to stifle a yawn. "And—ah—did you walk home?" "No, I took a car. And, oh, George, I had such a stroke of luck. The conductor never asked for my fare, so I saved a nickel." Testimonial From High Authority Mrs. B. L. Wilson of Nashville, Tenn., is famed the world over for her wonderfully delicious cakes. They are shipped to all parts of the globe for special fairs where the best of cakes are demanded. Mrs. Wilson has the distinction of baking Christmas cakes for the Presidents, in which she uses Calumet Baking Powder. She writes: "To have complete success, with no failures, care should be used in the selection of Baking Powder." Calumet is complimented with the following testimonial from her: "Some little time ago I made a careful study and investigation of the baking powder subject and I feel fully repaid. I am firmly convinced from the results I have received that there is no baking powder in the diet and economy, and I also recommend Calumet Baking Powder for its never failing results." Calumet also received the Highest Awards at the World's Pure Food Exposition, Chicago; Grand Prize and Gold Medal, Paris Exposition, 1912. This will, without a doubt, prove interesting and very gratifying to the friends and members of Calumet Baking Powder. It has always been found that Calumet is economical to use—Ady. Efficient.

SAVED HER LIFE Mode Well After Doctors Failed Mrs. John Brumley, 114 12th St., Greeley, Colo., says: "I believe I would be in my grave if I hadn't used Donan's Kidney Pills. The first sign of kidney trouble was a constant ache in my back after day after day feeling tired to attempt my housework. They came frequent dizzy spells that made me weak for hours. The kidney secretions were irregular in passage and very distressing. My feet ached and swelled until I could hardly stand. The swelling exacerbated my pain. For three months I hardly slept enough to keep me alive. I was awfully nervous and irritable. My case puzzled the doctors and their medicine didn't help me. A relative had been cured of kidney trouble, but I hadn't. Donan's Kidney Pills me to try them. I did and the results were wonderful. The backache stopped, the swelling went away and I rested better. The kidney secretions got all right and once more I enjoyed good health. Recently the kidney secretions were anomalous. Donan's Kidney Pills alone cured me." Name" PILLS DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS N. Y. Proprietor 400,000 Settlers a Year Immigration figures show that the population of Canada increased during 1913, by the addition of 400,000 new settlers from the United States and Europe. Most of these have gone on farms in provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Lord William Percy, an English Nobleman, says: "The possibilities and opportunities offered by the Canadian West are so infinitely greater than those which exist in England, that it seems absurd to think that people should be impeded from coming to the country where they can most easily and certainly improve their position.
