Get in Covering The Entire State of America's Last Defe Additional Proof That Johnson Has Conquered The Best Of Them— What Flanagan Said. America has lost its last white hope when Georges Carpentier, French champion defeated Gunboat Smith of U. S. A. in London Thursday, July 16th. Smith's defeat came in the sixth round, the referee's decision being given to the French for a foul blow by Smith. The decision is the subject of considerable controversy, but had the fight went the scheduled twenty rounds and Carpentier had defeated Smith in the very last round, there would have been the same dissatisfaction for this fight was the dying effort of the American newspapers to find a white man to wrest the title from Jack Johnson. No White "Hope" in Sight. But John Arthur Johnson is still the heavyweight champion of the world, and from present idenitions is liable to remain such for some time to come. Georges Carpentier, the victor in the last fight, admits himself, that he is no match for Jack Johnson, while unprejudiced judges of the game will admit that at present there is no other white heavyweight tember in sight. The proposed fight with Sam Langford next claims attention, but friends of Jack Johnson feel no concern over the outcome of that fight. Can Whip Any Man Take it from me, Johnson can whip any man in the world today, black or white, said Tom Flanagan, noted canadian sporting authority, upon his return from the Johnson Moran go. "Anyone sufficiently interested to learn can find out that Johnson is in the best condition and takes better care of himself than any other heavyweight does. Moran, a young husky giant was cut to pieces by Johnson who hammered him at will and it will be remembered that the fight lasted twenty rounds." The O. E. S. Regular Meeting The O E.

The Grand Lodge of the K. and L of H. of the World, convened in this city last Thursday in its second annual session. Only eight subordinate lodges were represented at the Grand Lodge, but what was lacken in the number of delegates was made up in enthusiasm by those present. Muskogee sent the largest delegation of any other town in the State and it was a live bunch who made known their power when it come to deciding a question at issue. Dr. W. B. Humphehy Past Grand Protector issued a statement some time ago to tee effect that he would not be a candidate for re-election. Grand attorney Freeman L Martin entered the race for the office shortly thereafter. He was opposed by A. J. Smitherman, who afterwards got out of the race in favor of J. H. Goodwin, who was elected by the vote of every delegate present except C. W. Henry, Mrs. Melton and Dr. Humpy who cast their votes for Martin. Following is the roster of newly elected officers; J. H.

Negro Boys Enslaved GUTHRIE, OKLA., July 30.- Charged with holding negro boys in peonage, James and Andrew Williams, farmers, were arrested by United States Marshal Newell and placed in jail. It is charged that the William's maintained an agency in the southeast and had shipped to them 35 negro boys from Charleston S. C., who were placed on a farm in Kay county and worked as slaves. Last week one of the boys escaped and informed the officers. Three other boys who attempted to escape, it is alleged, were recaptured and recieved a beating which may result fatally. Grand father Clause Not To Be Enforced Many Negroes Registering As Democrats That the Grandfather, clause will not be rigidly enforced this fall is the beleif of some of the leading politicians of the State. Thousands of negroes have registered as democrats. This giving the democratic party a clear majority over the republican party. The white democrats are elated over the exudus of negroes from the republican party, and as a rule they are extending a welcome hand to them. The Grand Lodge of the G. U. O. of O met in McAlester McALESTER, OKLA JULY 29th (Special to the Tulsa Star) The G. U. O. of O. and Household of Ruth of Okla. closed its annual session here today after a very interesting meeting lasting 3 days. The session was held in the C. M. E. church of this city where the general public was entertained each night with very interesting programs The first day of the Session was taken up in the appointment of committees and seating delegates and on the evening of the same day, which was Tuesday, a program consisting of welcome addresses, solos etc. was rendered. Wednesday a regular routine of business was carried out and Thursday night a Memmorial program was rendered. Thursday was the last day of the session and a grand scramble for the pie counter insued. A fight was waged against Grand Master E D Jefferson by the delegates from Chickasha who were quietly assisted by their friends from other places, but after the roar of battle had subsided it was anno unced that Jefferson was the winner by a good majority. At this writing the election of officers has not been completed. Full list of elected officers will be sent in a later report. The next meeting of the Grand Lodge will go to Elreno. The Sisters of the Household of Ruth lived a very nice session very different of course to that of the men Perfect peace and harmony existed throughout the meeting, for which Mrs. Thompson, Most Noble Grand Governess, of this city, is entitled praise Colored Soldiers Being Enlisted In France West Africa To Supply Navy Department With A Draf Of 200 Senglese Annually Sheriff Foiled Mob EUFAULA, OKLA., July 29 -A mob of 300 armed citizens stormed the county jail here today for 18 hours in an attempt to lynch two negroes charged with the murder of Johnson King, a prominent Indian. after advancing repeatedly since daylight, only to be repulsed by the entreaties of Sheriff J. W. McCune each time, the mob disbanded at midnight (Tulsa Daily World) No Barriers Says President Wilson The following are excerpts from President Wilson's Fourth of July oration: "We set up this nation, and we propose to set it up on the rights of man. We did not name any difference between one race and another; We did not set up any barriers against any particular race or people, but opened gates to the world, and said that all men who wish to be free can come to us and they will be welcome. We said this independence is not merely for us—a selfish thing for our own private use—but for everybody to whom we can find the means of extending." Going futeer, he said: "I am willing to get anything for an American that money can buy except the rights of other men. I will not help and man buy a power he should not exercise over his fellow-being."

Muskogee, August 19-21 1914. Is Being Enlisted France Poly Navy Department 00 Senglese Annually Colored subjects of France are being tried in noncombatant posts in the French navy with great success. One hundred Sengalese worked in the stockhole of the flagship of the Mediterranean fleet for two months with entire satisfaction to the admiral in command. According to the report the men seemed delited with their new occupation. The government of West Africa has undertaken to supply the navy department with a draft of 200 Sengalese annually. The French are persistent in their efforts to enlist Negroes in this army and navy. This is a striking fact in face of what is encountered in this country. Here the effort is to put the Negroes under the ban. Perhaps it is not well to make such a sweeping assertion, for the Negroes are valued by many. However there are too many who see nothing to admire in negro soldiers in spite of their fine soldierly qualities. It's the same old reason, of course and which we all know. But just the same, France is enlisting a terrible fighting host, and which may mean more for that country than may be thought at this time. White Man Fined For Attacting Negro Fred Goud, a white man of this city, was fined $25.00 by Municipal Judge Clark last Wednesday morning on a charge of assaulting James Nichols, colored porter at the Saint Regis hotel, last Sunday afternoon. Gourd, s attorney immediately gave notice of appeal in the case and the appeal bond was fixed at $200. The evidence in part was to the effect that Goud came to the hotel and asked the porter to see a woman, The porter replied that they had no women there. This incurred the ice of the comer and he proceeded to give Nichols a kick and a shove that sent him sprawling down the staircase. Mrs. Ryan, proprietress of the hotel, took offence at some of the remarks that were made by Goud on the stand, and had it not been for chief Burns would have given him a "cleaning" on the outside of the police station as he left AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS "The farm is the place for the people of my race," said H. P. Ewing, in referring to the Kaw Valley Truck Farm company. "We aim to come to Kansas City and hire our help. Men who are loafing around the street corners now will be given an opportunity to earn good wages and also will be taught practical farming in all its branches. "We are now employing nine men at the farm and will have employment for 60 when harvest time comes. As fast as our capital will permit we will lease other lands, carrying out the same system in vogue at our present location, which we call Farm No. 1. Judge Sims of Kansas City, Kan., has promised that he will parole to us some of the negroes sentenced for minor offenses, so that we may make better men of them." Among some of the ideas Ewing has put to practical use in his plan for intensive farming is in the raising of spinach. This he drills in and cultivates thoroughly, resulting in a plant that commands a ready market. Between the spinach rows he plants tomato vines. In 20 days the spinach is harvested and the tomato plants are in shape to furnish another good crop from the same piece of ground. In one plot of 20 acres on the association farm he has watermelons, tomatoes and turnips. Between the watermelon rows are two rows of turnips, and between the turnip rows a row of tomatoes are planted. The watermelon vines curling around the tomato plants steady them during hard winds, resulting in a sturdier plant, while the tomato plants furnish shade for the watermelons, each benefiting the other and at the same time making the ground produce twice what it otherwise would. While a board of directors controls the Kaw Valley Truck Farm company, the farm work is under the direct management of Ewing. The officers are: Rev. J. R. Richardson, president; Rev. Bowen, vice-president; Rev. D.B. Jackson, treasurer; H. P. Ewing, secretary and manager; Rev. George McNeal, assistant treasurer; Nick Chiles, auditor; J. F. Bradley, attorney.—Kansas City Star. No wonder the colored men, with the habits and traditions inherited from slave ancestors, tends to idle self-indulgence, where work is to be had for the asking, and food to be obtained by the occasional use of net, rod, or gun. A colored family can be brought up in rude abundance if the head of the household earns in cash even as little as $150 or $200 a year, and this he can do by working two days a week. On most of the tidal streams a boy of ten can supply the family with fish much of the year by tending a set. net morning and evening. There are basket-making communities where all adults who choose can earn from $1 to $2 a day the year round. There are canneries where men and women are employed for most of the year in canning oysters, vegetables and fruit for nearly ten months out of twelve.—Exchange. Attempts recently were made to grow tobacco commercially in the south of England. In Ireland the department of agriculture for several years has offered substantial bounties in connection with this industry. However, neither in Ireland nor in England has the attempt gone further than the experimental stage. The christening of the steamship Liberia, the "Back to Africa" vessel controlled exclusively by negroes, took place at Galveston, Tex. The Liberia was waiting to take a large number of negroes to Africa under the leadership of A. C. Sam. Speech making and the breaking of a bottle over the bows by an Oklahoma negro girl formed the christening ceremony. New York will have the highest jail building so far erected if present plans are carried out. It will be built in Thirtieth street, near Sixth avenue, will be 14 stories tall and will cost about forty-five thousand dollars. It is planned chiefly for the care of women prisoners. In the Malay peninsula an English naturalist has discovered a species of ant that makes its nest in the fleshy stems of ferns that grow on the limbs of trees high in the air. Probably the highest death rate of any city in the world belongs to Cochabamba, Bolivia, where there was a mortality of 75 in each 1,000 last year. Creek-Seminole Agricultural college, founded by President J. C. Leftwich, under the Christian churches, is the most potent factor in developing the town, and Christian education and agricultural training among the Indian and negro youths of the town, community and state. Mr. Leftwich founded this college seven years ago, without a dollar to begin with, but with the encouragement of J. H. O. Smith, formerly minister of First Christian church of Oklahoma City, Okla.; he ventured to build a large institution. It was believed, among the people of the town, community and state, that to build a school of such character out in the forest, and in a new country, was simply folly and out of the question. Pluck and tenacity dominated the spirit of the young man to try, if but to fall. To the astonishment of all, Mr. Leftwich succeeded, in seven years, in building up a plant valued at $25,000, 300 students, and faculty of eight instructors. Eighty of the students are full-blooded Indians. Mr. Leftwich was succeeding nicely up until the 18th of May, 1912, when his main building burned, at a loss of $10,000; five students were burned to death. This was a great blow to the president and to the college. Mr. Leftwich is still determined to build a great institution, and asks the aid of his brethren in the effort to do so. This is the finest field in America for the brotherhood to help build and foster a college for Indians and negroes. President Leftwich has been traveling in the North for 12 months, appealing to the Christian churches to help him in his hour of struggle and trials. He is attempting to raise $8,000. The college proper will be located on 40 acres of land, as an agricultural experiment station. This institution is located in the heart of the red and black belt of Oklahoma, only 20 miles from Craz (Indian) Snake's "Stamp" and camp grounds. This institution now calls on the churches and interested friends to raise $2,000 at once.—Exchange. How long will the negro be upon this step of life's ladder, depending upon the whites for assistance? The monotony is unpleasant to the ear in this progressive age. If they have been like the grasshopper, instead of the ant, consider the punishment as the reward. If they had learned self-reliance in the nineteenth century the negro problem would have been solved today. If negro men would form stock companies to purchase lands, erect buildings and establish stores they wuold not be dependent upon the white union for work. Apparently they have not the necessary confidence.—Exchange. Bohemia has a forest area equal to 29 per cent of its total area, and the quantity of wood cut annually averages 6,474,105 cubic yards, of which 4,316,070 cubic yards are suitable for building and manufacturing, and the remainder for fuel. Bohemia exports annually about one million three hundred and seven thousand cubic yards of forest products to Germany. As a result of promising surface indication of petroleum near Villamartin, a small town 27 miles from Jerez, the Spanish government has appropriated 700,000 pesetas (approximately $126,000) for exploring the region thoroughly, and has sent a force of engineers into the field. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago has sent his check for $25,000 toward the erection of a building for negro men by the Young Men's Christian association of Kansas City. This is the fifth city to receive a like sum for Young Men's Christian association buildings for negroes. Besides Kansas City they are Washington, Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Chicago. A popular drink among the peasants of Russia is called quass. It is made by pouring warm water over rye or barley meal. It is fermented liquor and is very sour, but has been used for years by these poverty stricken people. Sandy Archer, a former slave, believed to be one hundred and twelve years old, died in Hayden station, Conn., at the home of Mrs. M. E. Garrett. He had lived there for more than sixty years. At the close of 1911 the asylums in Ireland held 24,655 insane, or 5.63 to each 1,000 population. In 1880 it was 2.50 in each 1,000. TULSA. OKLA.. STAR AUSTRIA-SERVIA ON VERGE OF WAR PASSPORTS HANDED TO SERVIA ENVOY; VIENNA ASSUMES MILITARY ASPECT. GOVERNMENTORDERSCENSORSHIP First Engagement of New European Conflict On Danube Reported All Europe May Become London.—Developments appear to furnish new proof that Austria is determined to make war on Servia. The possibilities of a general European war seem more likely than ever to have confronted the present generation. The Servian reply to the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum was an acceptance of almost all the imperious demands, except that Austrian officials shall participate in the investigation of the recent assassination of the Austrian crown prince, and fix the responsibility for the anti-Austrian propaganda. Servia proposed an appeal to the powers at The Hague for the settlement of that feature. Notwithstanding this humiliating surrender, which was more than Europe expected of the proud little nation, the Austrian government gave the Servian minister his passports, which may be construed as a virtual declaration of war. Austria committed an act of war by arresting the chief of the Servian general staff, General Putnik, near Budapest. A formal declaration of war is not expected because Servia is not a party to The Hague convention, which requires this. The suspension of all parliamentary and judicial institutions has been decreed in Austria and an ironclad censorship has drawn a cordon of secrecy around the country. Even now the Austrian armies may be closing in on Servia and launching a sudden blow, as Japan did when she sent her fleet against the Russian ships without warning. While Austria announces a "partial mobilization," the Austrian ambassador at London has issued a significant notice to all Austrians liable for military service to return home. The only possibility of averting war at the eleventh hour which Austria recognizes is that Servia shall reconsider her reply to the Austrian note and bow to all the demands. Even then Austria purposes to exact payment for all her expenses in connection with military measures. The prospect of war is not regarded here as child's play. The Servians put 400,000 men into the field during the Balkan wars. Both officers and men are passionately patriotic. It is expected that Servia will attempt to hold the front along the Danube and the Drina with only a weak force, while the greater part of the army will be concentrated in the central district, probably near Nish or Kraguyeratz and another strong force in Novipazar, which will be detained for offensive operations against Bosnia. According to a Semlin rumor, the first encounter between Austria and Servia occurred near Semendria, on the Danube, twenty-four miles southeast of Belgrade. Some vessels carrying Austrian infantry were said to have been fired on from the Servian side of the Danube and to have returned the fire. The question as to whether Russia will take up arms to save her Slav proteges is the feature on which the peace of Europe hinges. The same degree of secrecy which Austria has imposed has been established in Russia also, therefore it cannot be known what military preparations are in progress there. The Russian government has permitted messages to go forth quoting the St. Petersburg papers as considering intervention inevitable and demanded by the popular sentiment. Germany has informed the other powers that she considers that the Austro-Servian quarrel concerns those nations alone. If any other power takes it up, she declares serious consequences must follow. BALLOTS WILL NOT BE READY Prospects that Primary Cannot be Held in all Counties. Oklahoma City.That the printing of the state ballots for the August primary may not be completed in time to send ballots to every voting precinct in the state is the declaration made by Secretary Joe Morris of the state election board in a letter he has addressed to E.

ZAPATA'S FORCES NOW IN LINE Southern Rebel Agrees To Co-Oerate With Constitutionalists— Prospects Bright For Early Peace. Washington.—Secretary Bryan announced that the situation as between the Carbajal government and the constitutionalists in Mexico was "progressing very satisfactorily toward a settlement." The delegates appointed by Provisional President Carbajal left Mexico City for Saltillo, where peace conferences will be held and there is every indication, according to the state department advices, that an amicable arrangement will be made to transfer the government to the constitutionalists. Advices from southern Mexico stated that the envoys sent by Carranza to discuss the general situation in Mexico with emissaries of Zapata had a long conference which was satisfactory. Officials now expect that Zapata will cooperate with the constitutionalists in maintaining peace. Word was received here that Ferdinand Iglesias Calderon who is to be minister of foreign affairs in Carranza's cabinet, had suffered a broken leg in an accident in New York. He was to have proceeded to Carranza's headquarters and would have been one of Carranza's delegates in the forthcoming conferences. Members of the constitutionalist Junta in Washington said they interpreted Carbajal's appointment of the peace commission as meaning that the first chief probably would enter Mexico City before the middle of August. To Repudiate Huerta's Debts. Tampico, Mex.—That General Carranza will stand by the decree he issued early in the revolution regarding financial transactions made by Huerta against was indicated here when his attention was called to a report that just before resigning and leaving the country Huerta received half a million dollars from the Rotchilds, giving in return a grant of a vast area of Lower California at a nominal price of one cent an acre. Carranza declared no such grant of public lands would be recognized and recalled that leading bankers of the world had been so notified. It was reported here that Sir Christopher Craddock, British admiral, upon his visit to Carranza demanded all concessions made by Huerta to Lord Cowdray and other British citizens be ratified by constitutionalists and that Carranza returned a positive refusal. Foreign consuls paid another visit to Carranza in which a discussion of prospects took place. Carranza told them there should be no wholesale repraisals on the part of the constitutionalists. Carranza visited the Panuco oil fields Sunday, spending nearly the entire day there. Candido Aguilar, governor of the state of Vera Cruz, in which the fields are situated, accompanied him. The two discussed the protection tax on oil but announced no decision. Carranza, it was announced, plans to use thousands of federal soldiers in repairing the railroad tracks that have been destroyed during the revolution. As fast as the federal bands are disarmed Carranza plans to distribute them throughout the country in this war. He hopes thus to give them employment and also to scatter them throughout the country so there will be little danger of their mobilization against him in case of a counter revolution. Catholic Church Scope Is Limited. Tampico.—A decree limiting the scope of the Roman Catholic church in the state of Nuevo Leon on the ground of "public health, morality and justice," was issued by Antonio I. Cillareal, governor and military commander. He said: "During the life of the nation the church has been a pernicious factor in disruption and discord and has entirely forgotten its spiritual mission." The most drastic feature of the decree is the prohibition of confession. Villareal gives as his reason for this the charge that the confessional and the sacristy in Mexico have become a menace to morality. The decree issued in Monterey, makes the following orders for governors of Catholic schools and churches: 1—All foreign Catholic priests and Jesuits of whatever nationality will be expelled from the state of Nuevo Leon.

CEPEDA NAMED TO MEET REBELS COAHUILA SENATOR TO REPRE SENT CARABAJAL IN GOV- ERNMENT TRANSFER CARRANZA WILL GRANT AMNESTY Only Madero-Suarez Slayers Excepted; Villa Will Not Cause Any Trouble For the New Regime. Washington.—Reginaldo Cepeda, senator from the state of Coahuila and intimate friend of General Carranza, has been selected by Provisional President Carabajal to negotiate the transfer of the government of Mexico to the constitutionalists. Mr. Cepeda, who was in hiding in Mexico City during the Huerta distorsorship, left Vera Cruz for Tampico to meet General Carranza. He has full instructions and authority to arrange for the transfer of the government. As soon as Dr. Cepeda is received by General Carranza, an armistice will be formally signed as the first step in the negotiations. General Carranza has indicated his willingness to declare a truce during the negotiations and the Carabajal government is anxious to do likewise. The Carabajal envoy has been instructed to ask for only two things—a complete amnesty for political offenders and guarantees of protection to the lives and property of the Mexican people. Villa will remain quietly in northern Mexico and when Carranza reaches Mexico City and a conference of generals is called. Villa will make vigorous demands for a share in the government or in the promotions of his friends. Villa's potential strength will be his position in northern Mexico, for it is said he will send envoys to argue his case for him in the capital. OFFICERS ARE KILLED AT TULSA Two U. S. Marshals Shot By Former Police Chief Tulsa.—W. J. Baber, former chief of police and first secretary of the Tulsa Commercial club, shot and killed Deputy United States Marshals Holmes Davidson and El Plank when the officers attempted to search Baber's residence for whisky. Ike Wilkinson, formerly a police captain under Baber, but in the federal liquor service for the last year, who went with Davidson and Plank to the Baber home, escaped although two shots were fired at Wilkinson. Telling the enforcement officers that he had no liquor hidden at his home, Baber warned the officers not to try to force an entrance. When the officers refused to regard Baber's order to "stand back," Baber opened fire with a double barreled shotgun loaded with buckshot. Davidson, with a six shooter in his hand, was killed outright and Plank died in a few minutes after being shot. Neither officer fired at Baber so far as is known. Wilkinson took refuge behind a tree and after two shots had been fired at him escaped. Baber immediately notified police headquarters of what he had done and asked that an officer be sent to arrest him. Baber was arrested by Chief of Police Burns and Patrolman Bewley. At police headquarters Baber talked freely of the shooting, protesting that he fired to protest his home. Big Verdict Is Set Aside. Chicago.—Judge Lockwood Honore set aside the $20,000 verdict given to Miss Georgia Jay by a verdict which heard her breach of promise suit against Homer Rodsheaver, choirmaster for Evangelist Billy Sunday.

ORDERS NEW HAVEN SUITS DISSOLUTION AND CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS DIRECTED Indictments Against Mellon and Others Probably Will Be asked When Case Is Presented Washington. The long continued effort to untangle the New Haven railroad without litigation came to an end when President Wilson, in a letter to Attorney General McReynolds, directed the institution of a Sherman law suit to dissolve the system and ordered that the criminal aspects of the case be laid before a federal grand jury. The president's approval of the course mapped out by the department of justice means that the civil suit will be filed against the New Haven in the United States court at New York at once. The attorney general immediately will direct United States Attorney Marshall at New York to summon a grand jury and the task of laying evidence before that body on which to ask for criminal indictments against officers and directors of the New Haven under the Mellen management will be started as soon as possible. How many indictments will be sought was not divulged but it was plainly indicated in correspondence made public that the attorney general expects to ask a bill against Charles S. Mellen, former president of the New Haven. The most significant fact in connection with the proceedings was a statement which Mr. McReynolds gave out several months ago when the interstate commerce commission began its New Haven inquiry. In that statement the attorney general warned the commission to consider whether immunity might be given certain men if made to testify as to their actions as directors of the road. The names he mentioned were: Charles S. Mellen, William Rocker feller, George Macullock Miller, Chas. F Brooker, Edwin Miner, Lewis Case Ledyard, George F. Baker and Edward D. Robbins. INTERVENTION LIKELY IN HAYTI UNCLE SAM MAY TAKE CHARGE OF TWO ISLAND NATIONS More Marines to Dominican Waters; Many Rebels Executed By Government Washington.—Pressed by European powers, the United States government has about lost patience with the various elements in the republic c2 Hayti and San Domingo, and will demand a restoration of peace or threaten armed intervention. Already large discretionary orders have been given Captain Russell, of the battleship South Carolina, now at Cape Haitien, but final decision as to whether force is to be used by the American government has been deferred. Reports from Cape Haiten of further fighting with added danger to foreigners were regarded as forecasting prompt action by the marines now being concentrated at Guantanamo. Not only have military forces in Haiti refused to heed warnings of the American government that fighting should cease, but dispatches Wednesday night from Captain Eberle, of the cruiser Washington at Puerto Plata, San Domingo reported the failure of attempts to settle the Dominican revolution by diplomacy. The superior junta of the legalista party has refused to enter into negotiations with the Dominican government. Secretary Daniels decided that the additional 1,400 marines to be sent to Guatanamo, Cuba, for service in Haiti, would be embarked from Norfolk, Va. on the transport Hancock now enroute to Hampton Roads from Guantanamo. There are now more than 500 marines at Guantanamo or on ships in Haitien and Dominican waters. Reinforcements could be drawn from Vera Cruz and Mexican gulf waters. There are now some three thousand marines under General Funston's command and nearly another thousand could gather from the warships. Many Haitien rebels were executed at Cape Haitien after government forces had defeated 500 revolutionists in a two-hour street battle; the rebels entered the town early Wednesday morning before the garrison was awake. Captain Russell of the battleship South Carolina reported the affair by wireless to the navy department. His dispatch said the government troopers, numbering 400, repulsed the attack with a loss of eight men killed. The rebels after having thirty-one killed, fled in disorder. Many sought refuge in houses, from which they were dragged for execution. Another Victim of the Plaque New Orleans—Plaque has claimed its fourth death victim here. The fatality occurred at the same address from which Helen Soell, aged 10, developed the disease last week, and the victim was the child's grandmother, Regina Schmidt, aged 73 years. The woman became ill July 20. Blood cultures were taken from her on that date and she was listed as a plague suspect. She died however, before a positive test of the blood could be concluded. She suffered from the septicaemic type. Canai To Open Aug. 15 Washington.—Opening of the Panama canal to the world's commerce on August 15 next, was announced by Secretary Garrison. Probably the first vessel to pass through the great waterway will be the Cristobal, a war department steamer now at Colon. There will be no formalities in connection with the epochmaking event, all ceremonies being left for the official opening when the international fleet passes through the canal in March, 1915. Money from the federal treasury will be deposited in national banks throughout the country again this fall to facilitate the movement of crops and promote business generally. Secretary McAdoo announced he would put out approximately $34,000,000 and that he stood ready to increase the amount to any extent necessary to meet the country's needs.

A queer customs ruling relates to that noble 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? If 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 wonderfully mixed.

AUTOMOBILE RACE HISTORY AT STATE FAIR THIS YEAR CIRCULAR DIRT TRACK CHAMPION HOPES TO SHATTER ALL PRIOR RECORDS The Oklahoma State Fair and Exposition race track, which was the battleground for half a dozen of the world's best auto drivers last year, will again be the scene of a gasoline battle this year that gives promise of adding a new red letter chapter to the history of speed. Prominent among the speed demons of the world who have already entered the 1914 contests to which they may be eligible is Louis Disbrow, who declared last year that he could make a new record on the State Fair track. The fifteen thousand spectators who received thrills that are still with them, will not have to be reminded of how Disbrow, driving his Simplex Zip, made a mile in 1 minute, 5 3-5 seconds, thereby creating a new world's record for a half mile track. Encouraged by the remarkable time made last year, Disbrow says in a letter to the management of Oklahoma State Fair and Exposition that he has every reason to believe that he can shatter all prior dirt track records during the 1914 auto meet on the last two days of the State Fair, which opens Sept. 22 and closes on Oct. 3. Disbrow was among the first to enter when the management announced that something like $7,000 CARE OF KAFIR FOR SEEDING TIME TO STUDY OUT A SCIEN TIFIC SYSTEM OF TESTING AND PRESERVING. PICKLING PROCESS IS DESCRIBED A Little Care In the Next Few Months Spells the Difference Between Success and Failure of Your Crop Next Year. The 1914 crop of Kafir will soon be in the silos and granaries. As soon as it leaves the fields, work should begun on the 1915 crop. Killing one fly in February means forty million less in August; just so, an hour spent in selecting seed this fall means a hundred-fold better crop next year. Select only the big, vigorous stalks for seed. Be sure they are well formed, productive and free from all insects and blemishes. It will be time well spent to "thresh" out your seed by hand. Insuring Against Smut There are three things to do with seed: Examine for weed seed, examine for vitality (by germination test), pickle the clean, viable seed to kill germs of smut. To pickle kafar seed is an easy job, consisting of but three operations, namely: Spread the seed kafar on a clean floor or on canvas. Sprinkle with solution of Formalin, secured at any drug store. The Wicked Bible. The "Wicked Blue" was the name given to an edition of the authorized scriptures, printed in London in 1631, by Robert Barker and Martin Lucas. It was so named from the fact that the negative was left out of the Seventh Commandment, a piece of carelessness for which the printer was made to pay a fine of 3,000 pounds sterling. Something in That, Too. That more men fail as grocers than in any other retail trade is attributed by Harvard experts to bad bookkeeping, but the fact that many people would rather pay for millinery or whiskey than settle their grocery bills has something to do with it. Sun Causes Brilliant Effect. The brilliant colors of the clouds, often long after the sun has set, are, of course, due to the fact that the sun is still shinning on them and they are reflecting a certain part of this light through the darkening air to the earth. Louis Disbrow World's champion circular dirt track driver who will thrill thousands at the Oklahoma State Fair and Exposition, Oklahoma City, Sept. 22 to Oct. 3. would be distributed in prizes this year. This big sum will insure the entry of racing machines worth at least $100,000 and bring together the greatest array of automobile stars ever before assembled in the Southwest. In the words of a spectator last year, "the Derby may fill the grand stand, but it takes the automobile races to bring out a real crowd." And this was literally true, for never before has there been such a crowd in the big grandstand. Sprinkle kafir until it is moist with the solution, made by dissolving one pound of formalin in 50 gallons of water. Properly to treat the kafir Shovel the kafir over and over, to Pile of Kafir covered—let stand two hours or more. moisten every grain, and then shovel into a pile and cover with clean grain sacks. Let the pile stand two hours at least—better, let it remain over night. Wash the seed box of the drill with formalin solution. Soak the bags used for holding the treated seed in formalin solution and wring them out. The picture describes a seed tester made by using a milk pail and a gunny sack. Kafir seed weighs from 50 to 56 pounds per bushel. Mr. Sampleson is a very irascible man, and is in the habit of punishing his boys severely. Not long since he observed that one of his sons needed a new pair of trousers. He scolded the boy for wearing out his clothes so fast. "Pa, no trousers can last any time the way you h'f" replied the son reproachfully. But He Said it. "She ought to drop dead for the awful lies she's telling," said the plaintiff excitedly, listening to the witness for the defense. "Don't say that." admonished the judge.

"Taken," in a mere careless drawl came the reply from Arvidi, the gamester. It was a typical Mexican scene—the interior of the chief gambling den at Turo and a critical stage of the game in progress. Marvin Howe happened to be present amid that swarthy crew—a floating quantity in the general situation involving warfare, anxious to get North and out of it and the opportunity offered just that day with a decidedly favorable change in fortune if he carried out secret instructions given to him. The position was this: The commandant of the sectional insurgents wished to send a particular message to a co-patriot one hundred miles away. It involved a junction of the two forces. The intermediate forty leagues of territory, however, were occupied by a dangerous enemy. The chief at Truro was surrounded by enemies and spies. He had hired Howe to do some translation and reposed confidence in him. Howe engaged to cross the danger line and deliver his message. Both knew that while as an American citizen Howe might get through to Texas, he would be challenged, suspected, searched on the way. So a singular maneuver was decided upon. Within the private room of the chief earlier that evening, his secretary had imprinted across Howe's broad shoulders the message he wished conveyed to his fraternal auxiliary. Those Mexicans were adepts in using an indelible stain that would wear and remain clear, at least for a period. Howe was to try to find some free lance who would accompany him and bring back a reply, while he, well re- W. K. Frost Arose Unsteadily From the Table. warded, returned to home, friends and fiancee—to Nellie Duryea, the only Nellie in the world to him beyond the unsettled border line. Howe had thought of Matteo and that was why he was now an inmate of the noisy gambling den. He was a free rover, neutral, popular with both sides of the insurrectionist party, he knew the country like a book and Howe fancied felt friendly towards him. Howe had found him at the card table pitting his money recklessly against the most daring gambler in Truro. It was a strain on his patience to see him immersed in the cards. He was in funds at the start and then Howe saw his last dollar go. A handsome ring was staked, then his watch and now his most faithful friend and companion, the dog. Everybody who knew Matteo knew also his dog. The animal was tiny, but fearless and very intelligent. He was the constant companion of his master, who had taught him all kinds of cute tricks. With his unerring marksmanship, the man who could clip a silver coin at fifty paces, combining his show dog, could gather a crowd at any time on the public plaza and could have a royal salary in a vaudeville sketch. The cards went the rounds again. Matteo lost. Howe saw a strangely desperate glint in his eye as he arose unsteadily from the table. He turned slightly pale. Then he shrugged his shoulders and walked over and kissed the little dog asleep on a pile of newspapers. Straight as a soldier then, he walked from the room "It will break his heart to lose his friend," Howe told Arvidi quickly. "May I redeem him?" and he proffered fifty dollars in paper money. "All right," nodded the gambler and then Howe snatched up the dog and rushed after his master. Howe overtook him at the street door. "Yours," he said, placing the little pet in his arms. Matteo stared at Howe in a dazed uncertain way. Then his fingers gently caressed the dog. His voice broke as he comprehended what Howe had done "Amigo," he said, folding his hand in a fervent grasp, "when my fortune turns I shall know how to repay you." "I can help it turn just now," remarked Howe significantly. Howe knew he was a man to be trusted. He told him that he was authorized to pay royally for his guidance and direction. "I can pilot you safely," he said—"I am your man." It was a devious route, that by which Matteo led Howe from Truro. His sole object seemed to be to evade a collision with marauding parties and he succeeded famously in this. The third day out of Truro, however, an incident occurred that confirmed a suspicion Howe had entertained ever since starting on his present mission. The morning they left Truro Howe had noticed a man he had seen hanging around the chief's quarters dogging his footsteps. He had called the attention of Matteo to this, who had carelessly asserted that if he was one of the numerous spies in action they "would soon lose him." However, twice in two days after they had started on the trail they caught sight of a distant figure remindful of the man they had observed at Truro. It was early in the morning that Matteo suggested a plunge into a near creek before they lit a little fire and cooked their frugal breakfast. They had disrobed and were disporting themselves in the cool sparkling stream when an ominous sound echoed out— Click! Then to the consternation of Howe, turning he saw a man, the man who had shadowed him in the city just rushing away with a camera. "Matteo!" shouted Howe quickly—"the spy. He has photographed the message on my back!" "So??" observed Matteo, speedily springing ashore. "Ah! He had that purpose in following us, eh? Then he shall not get away so easily." Matteo had run to where his clothes lay. It was to seize his revolver, with which he was a crack shot, from its holster. Howe, transfixed, watched the man with the camera running down the river shore. The fugitive had a fair lead. Matteo almed. Crack!—followed a sure steady aim. Howe saw the runner waver and change the camera to his other hand, evidently hit. Crack!—a second sharp explosion followed. Howe saw the camera shoot out pieces of glass and wood where the bullet had pierced it. Dropping the wrecked camera and holding his wounded hand, the spy disappeared. "The message is written partly in cipher," explained Howe, "but that man might have been able to make it out after close study." "He is doubtless one of the unscrupulous crowd infesting the province, ready to blackmail, sell secrets or betray his best friend," acceded Matteo. "Well, he has failed in his mission and we will scarcely go in bathing again." They reached the end of their journey in safety and the secret message was transcribed. Matteo returned to Truro with a rich reward awaiting him. Marvin Howe crossed the border, bound for home and his waiting flancee, pretty Nellie Duryea. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) Fortunate Cripple Dog. Generally when a dog or other animal meets with an accident someone shoots it in order to put it out of misery. There is a crippled dog in Vienna which, although it has had the misfortune to lose its hind limbs in a street accident, has yet been "patched up" so that it can run about the streets of the city. The dog's mistress, much attached to her pet, had a little cart made upon which the dog rests his body, and then, harnessed to the shafts of the vehicle, he is able to "take his walks abroad" by trundling himself about by his forelegs in his little cart. He is quite a well-known figure in Vienna's streets. and many of the people have a kind word and a pat on the head ready for this most fortunate of unfortunate crippled animals. On the Safe Side.

A Nebr. woman has outlined the prize food in a few words, and that from personal experience. She writes: "After our long experience with Grape-Nuts, I cannot say enough in its favor. We have used this food almost continually for seven years. "We sometimes tried other advertised breakfast foods but we invariably returned to Grape-Nuts as the most palatable, economical and nourishing of all. "When I quit tea and coffee and began to use Postum and Grape-Nuts, I was almost a nervous wreck. I was so irritable I could not sleep nights, had no interest in life. "After using Grape-Nuts a short time I began to improve and all these ailments have disappeared and now I am a well woman. My two children have been almost raised on Grape-Nuts, which they eat three times a day. "They are pictures of health and have never had the least symptom of stomach trouble, even through the most severe siege of whooping cough they could retain Grape-Nuts when all else failed. "Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor bills, and has been, therefore, a most economical food for us." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Read to Wellville," in pkgs.

SELLERS, Director of Evening Matter, the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR AUGUST 2 THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY. LESSON TEXT-Mark 11:1-11 LESSON TEXT—MARK II.II. GOLDEN TEXT—"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, because thy king cometh unto thee." Zech. 9:9 R. V. Mark devotes 233 verses to his account of the last week of our Lord's life and 425 to all the balance. Matthew devotes seven chapters and Luke five. If all of the life of Jesus had been given to us in like ratio it would have taken at least 80 volumes in which to tell us the story. Today's lesson is the introduction to that week. We must consider his entry in its light upon the whole movement of his life. His instructions how to secure the colt seem to indicate his intention to provoke a demonstration. Though often in Jerusalem before, this was a different occasion, and for a different purpose. Before he did not provoke his conflicts, now he courts publicity, that he may fasten his claims upon the attention of all. Test of Faith. I. "The Lord hath need of him," vv. 1-7. It was a test of faith for these disciples to obey the Lord's command (v. 2), yet they did precisely what they were commanded to do (v. 6). Obedience is the supreme test of discipleship, John 15:14. When the disciples entered the village (v. 1) they found the colt "whereon no man ever yet sat." Jesus knew all and had the keys to the human heart. Perhaps this colt belonged to a disciple, hence the willingness to let it be used for the occasion Jesus was for the first and only time assuming. Many disciples are not willing to be so explicitly and simply obedient. This obedience is heightened when we remember how the disciples had followed Jesus towards Jerusalem "amazed" and perplexed. Those who stood by asked the very question suggested by Jesus, v. 6 cf. v. 3. As these disciples cast their garments upon the colt for Jesus to sit upon, they proclaimed their allegiance to him as klug. II. "Hosanna" vv. 8-11. Literally, "save now," Ps. 118:25, 26. His entry was characterized by a remarkable outbreak of enthusiasm. Before this only the disciples accepted his kingdom claims, now the multitude found their expression of gratification. Passing into the city, sitting upon the colt, he was accompanied by their chants of praise. Their first word was, "Hosanna"—their last "Hosanna in the highest." Between these they exclaimed, "Blessed is the kingdom that cometh, of the father David." It has been suggested that this host was made up largely of Galileans, and that theirs was an appeal to the city to receive the one who was coming, hence their double blessing to the king and to the kingdom. Jesus seems to have yielded his whole soul to this glad acclaim. It was a necessary part of that dignity which should properly be accorded to the Messiah on this his last entry into the Holy City. This suggestion about the Galileans may explain the cry uttered the last part of the week by the citizens of Jerusalem, "Crucify him." Still we feel sure that many of this same crowd joined this latter cry. The use of the word "many" (v. 8) seems to indicate that everyone joined the acclamations of joy. Effect of Psychology. Some of that crowd were doubtless moved by the "psychology of the crowd," and their devotion was short-lived. It is not hard to imagine the effect this strange procession must have produced upon the city as it moved on to the temple. Some threw their garments upon the ground to pave his way. Others took palm branches (John 12:13) and strewed them in his path. Some of the Pharisees cried out against this demonstration, Luke 19:39, but the Master replied, "If these should hold their peace the stones would immediately cry out," Luke 19:40. From Luke's account we see that Jesus did not seem to share the joy of that day, Luke 19:40-44. He saw the end from the beginning, and rightly estimated, at its true value, the evanescent adulation of the crowd. Summary. This is a strange triumph. What a variety of emotions it must have aroused. Those of the disciples, the crowd, the Jewish sects, the Roman soldiers and citizens, and in the breast of Jesus. How different than the triumphal processions of Rome. Heaven also saw the events of that day. IN SUCH PAIN WOMAN CRIED Suffered Everything Until Restored to Health by Lydia E.

He would scratch them until his face would be raw. The eczema looked angry and ran blood and corruption. His face was red and disfigured. He seemed restless and I had to be up with him the greater part of the nights. "I applied various remedies without result. He continued to break out with the eczema until I sent for some Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I used them and the first application eased him. In ten days he was completely cured."

Doubting Mark There was a great gathering of the church sisters and brethren down on Buckalew creek for the baptizing of Uncle Mark and Aunt Eliza. Mark was phlegmatic, and disinclined to accept the supernatural, an unwilling convert. Eliza went into the creek first with the preacher, and was immersed. She came out shouting, "I seed glory! I seed salvation," much to the edification and satisfaction of the brethren. Mark followed, doubting.

He recommended journalists to seek the help of St. Francis de Saires, whose body has just lately been transferred, with great pomp and amidst popular rejoicing, to a new church at Annecy in Savoy, his native place.

REMEMBER THE PLACE 114 North Greenwood St. A. Carr. Prop. Be A Booster The Oklahoma Booster Edition which will be published by the Tulsa Star will be one of the most complete and accurate publications ever published in the state. Much real enthusiasm is being manifested by business men, farmers and professional men throughout the state who desire to do all they can to make a good showing for the negroes of Oklahoma at the National Negro Business League which meet at Muskogee August 19, 20 and 21. Letters are coming into the Star office daily asking for information about this Booster Edition and many are sending in interesting facts about their business, farms, etc., to be published. Owing to the limited time left to work up this edition our special agents will find it difficult to visit all the towns in the state. Therefore those who desire to be represented in the biggest publication ever put before the National League will do well to write to this office for particulars. The Tulsa Star, being the leading Negro paper in the state, has shouldered the responsibility of bringing the Negro business men of Oklahoma closer together and giving them a creditable representation at the annual meeting of the National Negro Business Men's League at Muskogee in August. In order to do this as it should be done the Star will publish a special twenty-page Oklahoma Booster edition as a souvenir of this great national meeting of Negro business men This special edition will be the largest Negro newspaper ever published in America and will be a credit to the entire state. Every Negro business man, professional man or farmer; every Negro woman, girl or boy living within the bounds of Oklahoma, who has done anything worth while will be given space in this special edition if it is possible for our special agents and reporters to find them. The Star photographer will make special efforts to make pictures of Negro farms and business houses as well as beautiful residences owned by Negroes, that we may have cuts made to run in this special Booster edition. Our agents will visit every town in the State where Negroes reside, if possible, and we hope every colored man and woman in the State will help us. It is our purpose to show up the best side of the Negroes of Oklahoma at the big meeting at Muskogee | | Tire | Tube | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 28x3 | $ 7.20 | $1.65 | | 30x3 | 7.80 | 1.95 | | 30x3½ | 10.80 | 2.80 | | 32x3½ | 11.90 | 2.95 | | 34x3½ | 12.40 | 3.00 | | 32x4 | 13.70 | 3.35 | | 33x4 | 14.80 | 3.50 | | 34x4 | 16.80 | 3.60 | | 36x4 | 17.85 | 3.90 | | 35x4½ | 19.75 | 4.85 | | 36x4½ | 19.85 | 4.90 | | 37x4½ | 21.50 | 5.10 | | 37x5 | 24.90 | 5.90 | All other sixes in stock.
