I could only listen while I was in the chair and so I just come to the conclusion that the editor of Star had got his information from a policeman who didn't know any more about the League business than Jack Johnson knows about justice which he never did get in this country. You see its this way: I heard Lawyer Stewart say that Booker Washington say that when the National League came to Muskogee they come to aspire the Muskogee and Oklahoma Negroes, but that the big Negroes who had came from all parts of the country had received asporation from us instead Now Mr. Star Editor that could not have been did with no little $1200 or $1600 neither. So when I got out of the chair I said, gentlemen I give nearly ten dollars to help carry on this League doings. I was in the bunch that there Secretary Clark fooled up to the Carter building and Hooker stabbed me for five. I buy two membership certificates and I give up two more to jine the big league. That given me a look in, I guess, so when President Hooker told us to toph pencils along at the last meeting I did as he told me to do. So I says I got the figgers right here and if the League meeting cost a cent it almost cost $5000. Of course some of them men sputed me, but this is the way I proved it to them. Dr. Waterford he reported that he collected $1868. Treasurer Love says he had $2004. Secretary Clark he say that $2445 was total collection. Then to the surprise of everybody Mr. Elliott he rise and said he had received and paid out over $1100 during the past year. At the last meeting I did not see why Waterford, Love and Clark did not agree in figgers. Spike Simmons says that Waterford did not receive all the money, some money was spent before Treasurer Love got it, and he sposed Clark had it all. So I has these fellows add up $2445 and $1100, making nearly $3600. Then I say to them add what you think it cost the Negroes of Muskogee, Okmulgee, Rentiesville, Haskell and other places to fix up their exhibits and floats in the parade and you will sure have nearly $5000, maybe more. What do you think about it. Mr. Star Editor? But I want to say that the beatest thing in my mind is that President Elliott had over $1100 which he receive from selling membership certificates during the year and never once said a word about it to us local league members until after the league meeting was all over with and after he had spent all but a few cents. I say beatest thing and here's why: You see meeting after meeting for weeks the fully grown up members of the local league fit and fit, nearly a The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1914. hundred of us, over how to spend that $2445.00 and here was just one man who was spending nearly half of that amount and never saying a word to anybody at league meetings. Now if any one else knew about this $1100, they said less than Elliott to the league for he reported at least after everything was over. It was the beatenest thing for another reason. I remember that meeting after meeting the league fit over the barbecue, the banquet and other things all the time in doubt as to whether the money in sight was enough. And never at no time did any member hear Mr. Elliott say the state will put in so much if the local league give the rest. Another thing, no one had as much advice to give away how to spend the $2445, and the money Dr. Waterford collected than Elliott, and yet at the same time no member of the league can member when Elliott asked advice about spending a cent of the $1100 he had. The membership certificate money was fit over at the early meetings and Dr. Waterford started it. The doctor wanter to know what that money was to be used for and if it was to go to the local league to help out in bearing expenses. This point was never answered on the square. This certificate money was to come to the local league and then it wasn't. It mighty near got lost on the way for Dr. Waterford tells me in his office yesterday if he hadn't grabbed up the $269 off the table when the queen's contest ended and paid it over to Love not a cent of that certificate money would have reached it. The doctor also says if he hadn't declared up and down the street that he was going to dig up $143 the other money raised in queens contest, Elliott would never have made no report at all. Elliott say he had the $143 but it was spent with the $1100. One item hit me in Elliott's report when he say he paid $269.00 for advertising. I knows the local league votes at one meeting to spend $100 but this was $269 outside. This make $369 for advertising. So I go to my friend Twine the next day and say "Twine did Elliott pay you any money for ads in Climeter?" Twine say "Not a dam cent!" That sounds like Twine don't it? I was in Sharps office and I see Clark pass by with Mr. Love, and when he come back I say Clark did Bell ever get any ads for league from Elliott, and Clark say he don't think so. And now I see in Star last week where you say you give $25 to any Negro editor who swears he got $10.00 and I guess your money is good and safe. Who got the ads is what stirs me. Now I don't wish anyone to misjudge Mr. Elliott. I deals at his store and three of my kids have never had on any other shoes than Elliott's. I guess he spends the $1100 for the league as he seen fit and necessary. The beatenest thing is that if the money was for the league why was it kept a secret until after the national league had come and gone? Unless it is as Lawyer Stewart say it was in Phil- No Negroes on Jury -- Condemned Gets New Trial adelphia.

No Negroes or demned Get Governor Cox Stays Execution at Columbus, Ohio, to Allow Condemned Man's Attorney to Test Peculiar Point. RAISED FOR FIRST TIME. No Men of the Race in Jury Box is Violation of Fifteenth Amendment, Says Attorney—Decision Awaited With Interest. Columbus, O., Oct. 2.—Governor Cox of this state reprieved a man Saturday under sentence to be electrocuted next month for murder, until December next, in order to permit the supreme court of the state to pass upon the legality of the trial, raised by the prisoner's attorney. The attorney raised the point that there were no Afro-American men on the jury which tried the prisoner, and that for the past eleven years the name of no Afro-American had been placed in the jury box in Montgomery county, the county in which the murder was alleged to have been committed and the trial held. Trial Is Not Legal. The attorney for the prisoner holds that the refusal to put the names of Afro-American men in the jury box is a violation of the fifteenth amendment, and that the trial of his prisoner is therefore illegal. This is the first time this point has been raised, and attorneys are watching for a decision with much interest, for a favorable decision might not only have a far-reaching effect in the future, but raised the point of legality as to the trials of many Afro-American prisoners who have heretofore been tried, sentenced and have served or are now serving their sentences.—Chicago Defender.

JOHNSTON OF CO-WETA RECEIVES GREAT OVATION IN TULSA Probably the most sumptious banquet ever served by the Colored people of Tulsa was tendered Dr. J. T. Wilson of Memphis, Tenn., last Monday night by the Medical Association assisty by citizens. Dr. Wilson, who is chief physician of Collins Chapel Hospital, came to Tulsa last Friday night, Oct. 2nd, bringing with him Mrs. E. M. Cherry, who was taken to his hospital about six weeks ago to undergo a very difficult and dangerous operation which some of the leading White physicians of this city had declared could not be done. It was then that Dr. L. H. Johnston a Colored physician of Coweta who is well known in Eastern Oklahoma, was called in the case. After examining Mrs. Cherry he said he would take the case and guarantee to make her a well woman. He took her to Memphis to his old friend Dr. Wilson and together these two Negro physicians perfomed an almost miraculous operation. Dr. Johnson remained with Mrs. Cherry at Memphis until all danger had passed and returned, leaving her with Dr. Wilson and his 14 trained nurses. As soon as she was able to travel Dr. Wilson came in person with her, arriving here Friday night, Oct. 2nd, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Dr. Wilson was consulted by more than one hundred people who were suffering with some kind of trouble. When it was learned that the noted physician would remain here until Tuesday mornin-ger and Mrs. Wm. Cherry, brother-in-law and sister-in-law to Mrs. E. M.

The operation was a marvelous feat in surgery and those who saw Mrs. E. M Cherry at the banquet looked upon her saviors as masters in the surgical world. The intestine had broken through the covering known as the peritomous this caused a bagging of the abdomen, accompanied with an amount of fat which gave her no little degree of trouble and inconvenience. Drs' Wilson and Johnson removed a part of the visera which was $2\frac{1}{4}$ feet long and one foot wide, weighing about 18 or 20 pounds, after removal the intestines were placed back in the proper place and the abdomen sewed up again. Dr. Bridgewater was on the program to welcome Dr. Wilson on behalf of the Medical Association, but for some reason he did not appear. A. J.

He told in a brief way of his great work as a physician and surgeon, and made specific mention of a number of wonderful operations he had performed. He told how he and Dr. Johnston had performed the operation on Mrs. Cherry, who was herself among the banquet party, and exhibited the fat taken from her, weighing nearly 19 pounds. He had many other exhibits, relics of many dangerous operations which he carried with him, one of them being a large stone which he had taken from the bladder of a woman who had suf- (Continued on page eight) AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS AFRO-AMERICAN When you want a nice quick lunch for yourself or family think of BEN'S PLACE The quick lunch stand in rear of Sand Springs Depot OPEN ALL HOURS Hampton institute is an industrial village with some 1,200 or 1,300 students, 200 teachers and workers, 140 buildings, and an instruction farm of some 600 acres.

Their land covers 31,600 square miles, or 20,000,000 acres. There are 1,119,653 negro female breadwinners, sixteen years of age and over. Of these, the largest number, 634,104, are domestics, 434,041 are engaged in agricultural pursuits, 361,804 are agricultural laborers and 313,091 are servants and waitresses.

More than 4,000,000 tons of ore a year are expected to be exported from iron mines in Algeria by French capitalists who have obtained concessions 'ter more than ten years of effort. Commenting on the condition of the colored Baptist churches in Chicago a writer in the Standard says Their numbers help to suggest the important place which these Baptist churches hold in the life of this community. Let me supplement this by the words of a splendidly educated colored woman, Mrs. F. B. Williams, who says: "Despite the serious handicap of slowly decreasing debts, the colored church is the center of the social life and efforts of the people. What the church sanctions and supports is of the first importance, and what it fails to support and sanction is more than apt to fail. The colored churches historically, as to numbers and reach of influence and dominion, are the strongest factor in the community life of the colored people. Aside from the ordinary functions of preaching, prayer-meetings, and Sunday school, the church is regarded by the masses as a sort of tribune of all their social and civic interests. Thousands of colored people know and care for no other entertainment than that furnished by the church. What they fall to learn of the finer things of life in the church remains unlearned. These people, generally speaking, have few civilizing and elevating influences, except as they are supplied by this single institution." She concludes by saying: "Our churches could do more and be more to the ever-increasing number who need guidance, social ideals and higher moral standards, if they were less burdened with debts and an unyielding orthodoxy. The Chicago churches, however, are becoming more intelligently interested and earnest in their endeavor to meet the peculiar requirements of the city colored people." The 17 colored churches differ as widely as our own churches. Numerically, they range from a membership of 2,500 to one of 35. Financially, they vary from a debt-free larger church to the bankrupt and defunct mission church. Theologically, intellectually, socially, they differ. They are not made in a mold. They exhibit a bewildering and complex variety. They are really independent. Their churches are named after the great outstanding places of scriptural history—a fact which suggests their independence and variety—and not numerically according to historical precedence, as we have been accustomed to number our churches. And yet, in spite of the great differences between these churches, there are some common possibilities of advancement which occur to the friendly observer. The main building of the Wilson Tubercular Home and Hospital for Negroes, just completed at Wilson, N. C., is used as a center for training nurses and testing the ailments of patients. In addition to this main building there is a farm of 40 acres, half of it in pine woods, on which it is hoped that buildings may be erected for patients who are able to work while taking the treatment. Lucifer matches—that is, matches tipped with an explosive substance that bursts into flame on being struck—were first used about 1834. Many improvements have been made in matches since then, the most important of which was the invention of the safety match, striking only on the box. The annual meeting of the National Nebro Business league was held this year in Muskogee, Okla. These meetings are always largely attended. The delegates include not a few colored men who by their industry, intelligence and thrift have attained a competency if they are not to be reckoned wealthy. They are successful farmers, physicians and lawyers and merchants and mechanics. Very largely they are from the Southern states. This year, as usual, Booker Washington was one of the speakers, and gave his accustomed counsel emphasizing the opportunities which are open for those who devote themselves to useful employments everywhere. There was an industrial parade which gave impressive proof of the progress and attainments of the colored people in agriculture, in stock raising, in artisanship, in schools, in churches and in homes. In spite of narrow prejudice and in many places unworthy hostility, the colored people are making progress that is worth while.

REDUCES POPULATION OF PRISON Efforts to Free Big Batch of Convicts Is Temporarily Blocked, However by Secretary of State Ben Harrison. Oklahoma City.—While Gov. Cruce was in Washington, attending the cotton conference, Lieut.-Gov. McAlester assumed the office. In his brief reign of two days, he attempted a wholesale pardoning program and thereby provided material for the courts for some weeks to come. Records of thirty-two pardons, paroles and commutations granted by the lieutenant governor are lying on a desk in the office of Secretary of State Ben F. Harrison. Thirty-two statements acknowledging receipt of orders from Lieutenant Governor McAlester directing Secretary Harrison to attest the signatures on as many pardons and paroles were indorsed by the latter with these words: "All of which I refuse to do." Secretary of State Harrison was besieged with pleas from lawyers to attest the governor's signature on pardons, but told all that he would sign no pardons except those recommended by the pardon board since Governor Cruce's departure from the state.

A number of the orders for executive clemency have been presented to prison officials at McAlester, but Warden Dick refused to honor any except those bearing the signature of Secretary of State Ben F. Harrison. Only three prisoners have been released. They are: Charles Jaggers, Pittsburg county, serving life sentence for murder, paroled; Taylor Kirk, Canadian county, life sentence, murder, paroled; Mike Zanone, Pittsburg county, forty years, manslaughter, pardoned. A number of the prisoners were prominent. Joe Proctor is the king of the Oklahoma county gamblers; Nelson Hawkins was serving forty years for murdering a twelve-year-old Indian girl; Ned McDaniel was charged with defalcation when county clerk at Altus. He was secretory of the last senate. Mandamus Dropped. Asserting that they have obtained sufficient attestation to the pardons and paroles granted by Acting Governor J. J. McAlester, Attorneys E. G. McAdams and Norman Haskell dismissed the mandamus petitions against Secretary of State Ben F. Harrison which were filed in the district court. This unexpected step on the part of the attorneys representing several of the persons pardoned and paroled by the acting governor, followed a formal written refusal by Secretary Harrison to affix his signature and the great seal of the state to the pardons. Secretary Harrison wrote a separate refusal to each of twenty-eight pardons, paroles and communications delivered to him by Attorney McAdams, who at the same time turned over to the secretary the written order from McAlester. To these refusals, Secretary Harrison affixed his signature and the seal. It is the contention of the attorneys representing the beneficiaries that this recognition by Secretary Harrison that the documents were filed is all that is necessary to make the acts o f McAlester official.

My hair was so dead and dry it seemed as if it would break off. "I put on — and — and several other remedies without getting any help.

WELL PERSON NOT AFFECTED Residence In or Near Tuberculosis Institution Denied to Be Dangerous to the Healthy. Among the most significant opinions expressed in a pamphlet on "The Effect of Tuberculosis Institutions on the Value and Desirability of Surrounding Property," issued by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, are those by five of the largest life insurance companies in the United States. These companies were asked if residence in a tuberculosis sanatorium by a healthy individual was considered an adverse factor in issuing insurance and also if residence in the neighborhood of a sanatorium constituted such an adverse factor. Two of the companies answered the first question in the affirmative and two in the negative, but every one of them answered that residence near a tuberculosis sanatorium was not considered an adverse factor in issuing life insurance. Dr. Edward L. Trudeau, who built the first tuberculosis sanatorium in the United States in 1885, says: "When I bought the first land on which the Adirondack Cottage sanatorium is built, I paid $25 an acre for it, but the price was then thought absurdly high. My last purchase of five acres cost me $5,000. To my knowledge, there has never been an employee who came to the sanatorium in sound health who developed tuberculosis while there; and a sanatorium can no more endanger the health of the neighborhood in which it is built, even if the residences are at its very gates, than it could if it were placed on top of a high mountain miles away from habitation."

The world's annual crop of oats, including the total of the 17 countries which are the chief producers, is 3,426,000,000 bushels a year. The United States raised 1,123,000,000 bushels, which places her in a position to export large quantities without feeling the loss. A very large part of the corn crop is raised in the United States. Of the total annual crop of 2,776,000,000 bushels raised by nine countries the United States raises 2,373,000,000 bushels. It is surprising to find that Hungary produced upward of 200,000,000 bushels and Italy 100,000,000 bushels. The world's crop of barley grown in 17 countries was last year 1,225,000,000 bushels, of which only 173,000,000 was raised in America. ```markdown ``` Mr s.

We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty-seven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever.

FO.\EIGN ADVERTISERS 6 Oe ENS BS ee ee ee es only to Sam Jones, but also and es- pecially to the Rev, S. 8. Jones of the hew Antioch Baptist Church. You see a few weeks ago, the Baptists had a big national meeting in Phila- delphia, and the Muskogee Baptists decided to go there in the usual Mus- kogee style. The Muskogee style re- quires pullman cars and a special train, and Muskogee Negroes would go that way to Reevesville or Alta Vista, if the city street car company had pullman cars. Of course, every- body knows, even good Baptists, that the Baptist hold too many big and lit- ‘tle meeting in any one year. But these meetings enable Baptists to get together after their endless rounds of scraps Well, in this trip to Philadelphia, the Muskogee Baptists did not fully lap in getting edges together after the scrap of a year or so ago. One. well known Baptist minister concluded that his congregation folks had better go by themselves and so he went to arrange for a special train, One of his members laid in a stock of ban- anas, sardines etc, to feed the dele- gates on the way. But, the minister found there was to be only one special train out of Muskogee and over the Frisco line. He also found out that the special train and everything ex- cept the rails and ties belonged to the Rey. S. S. Jones. The brother who wanted to feed the delegates was too proud to go to the Rev. 8. 8. Jones, so he had sardines on his hands to eat until his mind changed, The spec- ial was due to leave at 8:30 a. m., and the sisters who had brought down big baskets of food for thelr pastors were standing at the station, also many brethren, waiting for the train to pull out, At’ 8:30, the Rev. 8. 8, Jones stepped off the train and started ut town. “Oh, Rey. Jones, ain't you go ng?” a number of voices cried out “Oh, yes, I'm going—going up town te get shaved.” the Rev. Jones replied and off he went, After a while, thé Rey, Jones returned sweetly perfumes and powdered, and then, and not unti then did the special leave for Philade! phia.

There is a reason, CRITICISING OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. THOSE WHO ARE SO BITTER and unreasonable in their criti- cism of the police department should manifest their loyalty to the officers and obedience to the law by aiding the city officials to stamp out the evils of which they complain. They do not stop to think that it is much easier for a plain citizen to catch up with gamblers and bootleggers than it is for a uniform officer. It is no easy task for any officer to keep peace without the aid of good law abiding citizens, and the citizen who is ever ready to complain about existing evils which he himself encourages by refusing to aid the officers is as bad as the criminals themselves because he is too cowardly to give the necessary evidence even when an arrest is made on his complaint. The law does not pre- sume any man guilty, on the contrary the presumption is that every man is innocent until proven guilty. No police officer is supposed to arrest a person unless caught in the act of committing crime or on complaint. Now if there were less complaints and criticism of our officers and more aid and encouragement given them they could and would render better service to the city. Tulsa has as proficient and competent a police department as any city in the United States for its size and far better than most cities of even greater population. But it is greatly in need of the proper ap- preciation and co-operation of the better element of citizens. It is a very easy matter td find fault and critise, but few of the fault finders, if any, would do as well as the men they critize. So far as the Star is concerned, we say without hesitation or reserve that nc city any where has ever had two more competent men at the heac of its police department than Commissioner Qinn and Chief Burns THE TULSA STAR has always stood by the city administratior and encouraged them in every way possible in their efforts to dc their duty which at best is a very unpleasant and disheartening task. It is an utter impossibility for any administration to please every body and it is but natural the “Sore heads” to criticise. THE BIG LEAGUE GRAFT grows more interesting the further we dive into it.

An editor of a New York magazine recently received a story of which the scene was laid in the state of Washington. He wished to have the story illustrated, and in order to obtain the best local detail he sent the manuscript to a young artist out in Washington. Before doing so, however, he scrawled hastily across the top of the first page the address of the writer, which did not otherwise appear on the manuscript. It was "Shelton, Wash." With the story the editor sent a letter asking the artist to make a wash drawing of a certain effective scene and forward it as soon as possible. By return mail the editor received an anxious reply from the youthful artist, saying: "I note that you wish me to use Shelton wash. I do not know of any such wash, nor do any of the dealers out here.

Bancroft, of Bickford, Blain County, Okla., the latter part of November, 1907 bought a brood sow for $15.00, and between that date and December, 1913, sold over $5,000.00 worth of hogs from her offspring. Not withstanding the fact that he was forced to buy most of the grain with which to finish them, and was forced during the early part of this period to sell some of the hogs at $5.25 per cwt., his net profit was $2,000.00. To use his own words, he "gambled on a corn crop," when he should have "pinned his faith to kafir, milo, feterita and cowpeas, the sure feed crops of Oklahoma, and his profit would have been much greater."

SLAVS KILL 20.000 Ambush Teutonic Column Which Attempts to Cross Niemen River, Say London Reports—Russ Advance Slow. (Summary of Events.) The Allies have not yet whipped Gen. Von Kluek's German army in northwest France. It was believed they had him cornered and at the point of retreating into Belgium about five days ago. He rallied, however, after re-enforcements came, and the Allies were driven back. Von Kluek is maintaining a vigorous defense all along a battle line running from Compiegue, at the confluence of PRIESTS HELP T Priests running to the assistance of Meaux. the Oise and the Aisne rivers, directly northward for forty miles. The battle front is once more where it was when the general engagement along the Aisne river began on September 12. Military observers say now there can be no decision in this struggle until one side simply crushes the other with outnumbering forces. Just now both armies are being steadily and equally re-enforced, so it appears there will be no decisive result for an indefinite period. Both Sides Rally. From September 28 to October 3 the Allies were having all the best of the fight against General Von Kluck. They were battering his army badly and they had almost accomplished a crushing flank movement not far south of Ostend, Belgium, when the Germans rallied and pushed back the French-British left wing. A similar operation took place in the eastern field, except, however, the positions of the opponents were reversed. The Germans had silenced some of the important forts around Verdun, a French army base, and were beginning a serious penetration into eastern France. The French rallied, drove the Germans clear back into Lorraine and penetrated German territory through the Vosges mountain passes. But they haven't gone much beyond the mountains. Watch Northwest Battle. Severe artillery duelling has been almost constant in the general neighborhood north of Rhelms, where the Germans have entrenched infantry along the Aisne river and have embattled siege guns and other heavy artillery in the foothills of the Ardennes mountains. Dispatches from newspaper correspondents who have reached Rotterdam, Holland, from the south state that preparations for the retreat of the German right wing are well under way. German troops are advancing from the north of France to Tournai and Mons, Belgium, in order to cover the main army in case of retreat. TULSA. OKLA., STAR The Germans have begun active operations against Antwerp, temporary capital of Belgium. Their heavy artillery has attacked Lierre, a fortress nine miles southeast of the city. The Belgians are reported, however, to have re-occupied Malines. They have been very active against the Germans at every opportunity. Shelling Antwerp Forts. London.—With the German attack on the outer fortifications of Antwerp, Belgium again has become the scene of serious operations. The invaders, so far, have confined their attack to the forts protecting the river crossings between Malines and Antwerp. A German report says that two forts have been silenced, but the Belgians deny this. The scarcity of food in Brussels has raised a grave problem, and 180,000 persons are applying for rations, which the German administration is finding it difficult to supply. 20.000 Germans Ambushed. The Russians and Germans are punishing one another with frightful severity in Russian Poland, where the Germans have invaded a distance of fifty miles, and in Austrian Galicia, where Russian operations have been strongest. When the Germans attempted to cross the Niemen river, just beyond the East Prussia border in Russia, 20,000 were wiped out in a Russian trap. At another point a similar attempt was repulsed with losses of 8,000 to the Germans. This is reported by a London newspaper correspondent. The Germans repulsed the Russians and inflicted great losses when the Slavs pierced the German center at Augustowoo, Russian Poland. THE WOUNDED of a wounded soldier at the battle of The Russians are not proceeding in their campaign with speed. They have poured an immense army upon Galicia and Prussia but the Germans and Austrians have hindered them successfully. Winter Germany's Ally. While time is of the utmost value to Germany in its French operations, every week of delay forced upon the Russians means a week nearer the winter weather that will ally itself with the German defense. For this reason Austria's desperate resistance in Galicia is of great value to Germany. Dispatches from Lemberg, capital of East Galicia, state that Russian civil government has been formally established in all cities and towns in this territory, which has been annexed by the ear since the occupation by Slav troops. London.—The Russian armies continue to sweep through Galicia and, according to a report from Rome, that province of the Austrian empire is clear of Austrian troops. What is meant is that the field armies of Austria have either gone into the fortresses of Preemysl and Cracow, or have retreated to the south and west. London.—A message from Muestricht, according to a Central News dispatch from Amsterdam, says that 5,000 Austrian troops have arrived at Aix-la-Chappelle from France on the way to the Austro-Russian front. German-Austrian Merge. London. It is officially announced at Vienna, according to a Rome dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company, that a junction has been effected between the new German army and the remnants of the Austrian army which fought in the Gallician battle. The new combined army is taking up a position and already has been in contact with the Russians along the Carpathian-Tarnow-Crucow front. Big Army at Crashin. London. It is officially announced at Vienna, according to a Rome dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company, that the Austro-German army concentrated at Cracow numbers 214 million. Italy Slurs Austria. Italy has taken what is generally accepted as the first step leading to an outbreak with Austria. The Italian ambassador at Vienna has been instructed to protest vigorously the strewing of mines by Austria in the Adriatic sea. Since these mines are the only protection of the Austrian fleet which remains near the forts of Pola, it is not likely the Austrians will remove the mines. It will be up to Italy to enforce the protest with army and navy. Austria Offers Indemnity. Rome.—The Austrian government has replied to the Italian protest against the floating mines in the Adriatic sea. Austria deplores the sinking of Italian vessels and promises to take measures to remove the menace to shipping and to fully indemnify the families of the victims. It is reported that Italy demands an indemnity from Austria of $1,000,000. Dispatches from Rome state that Italy will have 1,390,000 men equipped and in the field by the middle of October, when the oldest classes of active reserves (dating back to 1885) will join the colors. Every able-bodied man under 30 years old is now under arms. The Austrians are throwing up defense works all along the Italian frontier, the report continues, and the lines are being manned by the landwehr, or oldest reserves. Factories making big guns are working night and day to finish the supply of modern cannon which has been ordered by the Italian army. Rumania to Stay Neutral? London.—The Rome correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company has sent the following dispatch: "A message from Bucharest, Rumania, announces that the president of the council of the crown and conservative and Democratic leaders have decided to ask King Charles not to hold the council meeting fixed for this week, saying there is no need for Rumania to change her policy of neutrality." Fighting Less Violent. Paris.—An official announcement issued by the French war office says the struggle is in full swing in the region of Arras, without any decision having been reached as yet. The action has been less violent between the upper valley of the Anore and the Somme and between the Somme and the Oise. We have made progress in the region of Soissons, where some of the enemy's trenches have been captured. On almost all the remainder of the front the full, already noted, persists. In the Woevre region we have made some progress between Apremont and the Meuse and on the Rapt de Mad. In the Argonne we have driven the enemy back toward the north. Battle at Tsing Tau. The Japanese are reported to have reduced two of the forts guarding the German colony and naval base at Tsing Tao, in the Chinese leased province of Kaio Chow. Tokio.—A severe engagement has been opened by the German warships, which cannonaded the Japanese positions near Tsing Tau, east of the government of Kiao Chow, the German leased territory in China. Two officers were killed. German aeroplanes assisted the warships. The Japanese war office announces that an artillery duel at Tsing Tau continues. A German torpedo boat destroyer sunk in the harbor Wednesday. Apparently this ship was not in action. From other sources it is said that the German destroyer was sunk by Japanese sledge guns. Kaiser Wärns Greece. London.—A dispatch to the Express from Rome states that it is reported there that Emperor William of Germany has sent a telegram to the king of Greece warning him that if Greece enters into a war against Turkey, Germany will not guarantee the future existence of Greece. King Constantine replied, the dispatch declares, that if any of the Balkan states took up arms on either side, Greece would declare for the triple entente. Kaiser and King Threaten. London.—The mysterious prisoner held by the Belgians, to whom the other German prisoners pay extraordinary respect, has been identified as the Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Two letters of surpassing interest have passed recently between the kaiser and King Albert of Belgium. In the first letter the gaiser, in his own handwriting, informed the Belgian king that if a hair of the head of the captured Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin were hurt he (the kaiser) would destroy Brussels. The reply to this ultimatum was laconic, but to the point. King Albert, also in his own handwriting, assured the emperor that immediately the forces commenced their work of destruction, be (King Albert) would shoot the Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin with his own hand. Tella of a Germany Retreat. Petrograd—An official communication from the general staff headquarters, says the battle of Augustow ended October 1, in a victory for the Russian arms. The German defeat is complete. TRUCE IN SIGHT AGAIN IN MEXICO PRELIMINARY CONFERENCE HAS LED TO AGREEMEST FOR LATER CONVENTION. PERMANENT PEACE NOW LIKELY Calderon to Succeed Carranza Later; Villa Faces Divided Forces—Entire Army Broken Into Factions. El Paso.—Luis Aguirre Benavides, secretary to General Villa, under date of September 30, telegraphed the Associated Press that an armistice had been declared throughout Mexico, with Aguas Calientes as a neutral zone. He stated also that elections would be held according to the first agreement about Oct. 10. This election will name Calderon as president. These points had been agreed upon, he said, at a preliminary conference at Zacatecas, after which General Villa's party left for Aguas Callentes to confer with General Oregon and other Carranza leaders. Villa was met at Zacatecas by a commission headed by General Eduardo Hay. Benavides said that the first meeting had aroused great optimism for a happy outcome of the conferences. Reports of divisions in General Francisco Villa's army were confirmed by definite information received at the border from both official and impartial sources. The Arrieta brothers, who long have dominated the constitutionalist troops in the state of Durango, are said to have revolted to Carranza. Rumors that General Monclovio Herrera with his entire brigade had revolted against Villa's authority were confirmed. Tomas Urbina, one of Villa's leaders, is reported to have taken Durango City from the Arrieta troops after a battle. Had Disobeyed Orders. While nominally attached to Villa's division the Arrieta brothers, Domingo and Mariano, on previous occasions have refused to obey his orders. At the time of Villa's final attack on Torreon he ordered the Arrietas to join him before that town with their brigades. They refused, saying they would not lead their troops out of their home state. Villa issued an order for their arrest, but was unable to spare troops to carry out the order. It was said that Carranza's visit to Durango in May was to adjust these differences. As a result of his visit Mariano Arrieta was placed in command in Durango and Domingo led his troops to join General Natera, in the assault on Zacatecas. Carranza's order to Villa to reinforce Natera at Zacatecas was intimately connected with the first break between Carranza and Villa. After the defeat of the Arrietas at Durango Tuesday, it is reported in advices to Juarez, they fled into strongholds in the mountains. General Tomas Urbina, who is reported to have taken Duraego from the Arrietas, captured that city from the federals in August, 1913. Herrera and his troops are entrenched at Parral. It was reported that when Herrera announced allegiance to Carranza that Villa officials imprisoned his brother, Luis, and their father, Jose De la Luz Herrera, at Chihuahua City. Railroad Traffic Suspended. These internal disorders in Villa territory, it was admitted, had occasioned suspension of all outgoing traffic on the Mexican Central railroad to prevent the news reaching the border. Rafael E. Muzquiz, Carranza consul general on the border announced here that he had received definite information that scores of officers of the old federal army were preparing to join Villa. From Naco it is reported Sonora is dominated almost completely by Yaqui Indians whom Governor Mayotrena enlisted in his revolt against Carranza. Arrivals from the western state declare Indians have been placed in civil offices in the state capital, Hermosillo, and other towns and that the entire state was in their power. The Yaquis, it was declared, had set about taking forcibly the lands which they have claimed for years and which they had been promised by various revolutionary factions. SURE OF ADJOURNMENT OCT. 15. Nine Months Steady Grind at Washington To End. Washnigton—October 15 was agreed upon by democratic leaders as a tentative date for the adjournment of the present session of congress and the senate steering committee quickly framed a legislative program designed to conclude pending legislation by that date.

STAR NEW FRENCH EXPLOSIVE KILLS EVERYTHING WITHIN 400 YARDS London.—"One wonders what kind of shells the French must have been using to cause a regiment of German infantry to die in their trenches, standing bolt upright and still holding their rifles in firing attitude," remarked a London paper the other day, and another correspondent quotes an American member of the Crois Rouge as having seen "the German trenches as the French guns had left them, but with dead in such a posture as the world had never seen since the destroying angel passed over the Philistine camp in that avenging night of Scripture, a silent company of ghosts." But there is no secrecy about what is now an open secret, "Turpinite," the latest French "hell-producer," is the invention of M. Turpin, the "parent" inventor of melinite and lydite, which latter is merely so named because the first experiments were made by Lydd, in Kent, in presence of the French inventor. How far this turpinite has been or is being used by the French artillery is not known, and may not be exactly known till after the war, but one of the salient features of this novel terror is that it cannot be fired from an ordinary field gun, and for its use guns of particular and difficult construction are required. The handling of these guns is at present confined to specialists. Had the successful experiments carried out at Chalons-sur-Marne taken place earlier, the result of this war, in so far as its primary stages were concerned, might well have been different. So lethal in its effect is the new shell on explosion that, should its use become widespread, whole armies, indeed, entire nations, would be completely exterminated in the course of a few weeks. Offered to France. M. Turpin is not only a remarkable man, he is also a man who for many years nursed a serious grievance, and who considered that he had been deeply wronged in connection with the discovery of his previous inventions, melinite and lyddite. He became resentful and suspicious, and determined to discover some new explosive that would completely throw into the shade his previous discoveries, which had been "improved" by official French technicians. For years he worked in his quiet country home some twenty miles from Paris, and it is not long ago since the French government made him the "amende honorable." This mollified him considerably, and he offered his new discovery to his country; but France, at the imperious demand of her democrats, had for many years been cutting down her military expenditure, while Germany had been steadily increasing hers. In such circumstances there was little money to spend on experiments with explosives, and the outbreak of war found France not nearly so prepared with artillery, in munitions, in reserve forces, as was Germany. M. Turpin, however, used as he was to war office procrastination, had had a special gun and shells made "on his own," and conducted experiments on the Atlantic coast before carefully selected and invited officers. A man who witnessed one of these early demonstrations of the possibilities of "turpinite" sends to the Daily Express a description of its terrific effects: "On a stretch of sand 500 yards from high water level a temporary sheepfold had been erected, about four hundred yards square, and railed off with wooden hurdles. In this space were some dozen sheep and a couple of aged and worn-out horses. "One of the horses was contentedly munching away at some hay in a trough, the other was rubbing himself against one of the hurdles, while the sheep were huddled together in one corner. As If Petrified. "This was what I saw through my glasses when, from behind a ridge some twenty-five hundred yards away, there came a sharp, loud thud and the shrieking sound of a small shell, just as if somebody had taken a piece of silk and rapidly torn it in two. It was the same tearing sound, only louder. "There was an explosion in the open space in the middle of the improvised sheep pen. The sheep were still all huddled in a corner some distance off, one of the old horses was apparently leaning up against the railing, while the other, the one that had been munching hay at the trough, lay on his side. "When, ten minutes later, I reached the pen, the sheep looked for all the world as if they had been suddenly petrified. They were mostly standing up one against the other. "Three or four were lying down, but all were dead, with their eyes open and lower lips hanging. "It was absolutely ghastly. Yet of all the animals only the old horse that had been munching hay was hit by a fragment of the shell. The other old horse was half falling, half leaning up against the fence, his fore legs stretched out forward, his hind feet doubled up on the sand beneath him. Both had been killed instantly. "There was a faint odor in the air which I can only describe as that given off by methylated spirits yet mixed with a pungent smell of menthol. "There was no wind at the time, the air being practically still. I should like to have seen the gun, but this, as well as the shells, was surrounded by a canvas screen. That the experiment made a deep impression on those present was quite obvious, and I was not surprised therefore to hear that the experiments had been repeated on a much larger scale at the French permanent camps of Chalons and Mailly. Behind Locked Doora. "I am told that the experiments got to the ear of the German general staff, for it appears that various plausible people, self-styled journalists, business agents, and others, began to call upon M. Turpin. After the war broke out a special guard was placed outside M. Turpin's residence to warn off all unauthorized persons. Within the last few weeks, however, Mr. Turpin has taken up his quarters at a magneto factory in a populous Paris suburb, where a number of men have been engaged in preparing the component parts of the turpinite shells, which are finished off in a private laboratory by Mr. Turpin and two assistants, who work with the doors locked. "For special reasons, which it would be unfair to divulge at the present moment, I am strongly of opinion that these shells have not been used to any extent by the French armies in the field. Probably an actual test under battle conditions has been made once or twice, but no more. A number of people, however, have got wind of the matter, and imagination has done the rest. "That this terrific explosive will, however, be used in case of such an eventuality as, say, an attempt to take Paris by storm I have no doubt, but I am convinced that, despite the thousands of bombs now prepared and the special apparatuses that are being cast, this explosive, a single 56-pound shell of which is able to kill—so to speak—to 'petrify' every living thing in a space of 400 square yards, will not be used unless in very desperate circumstances, and only with the full consent of France's allies." HALF WORKS WHILE OTHER HALF SLEEPS London.—The secret of the tremendous German dash through Belgium and on the outskirts of Paris now appears to be explained, according to a British officer who has returned wounded to England. The German army was organized as are the workers in a factory or a coal mine. That is, they worked in two shifts. Throughout the advance from Liege half the army was sleeping while the other half was attacking or advancing, and by these tactics they kept the allies constantly awake and wore them out by sheer want of sleep. The fall of Namur was almost entirely due to the two shift tactics of the German army. The bombardment of that town, it will be remembered, was continuous for three days—from Thursday, August 20, until five o'clock on the following Sunday afternoon. It is obvious that the German attackers must have worked two shifts to have carried on such a bombardment. Even if the gunners were beyond the range of Belgian fire and safe from attack, they could not have kept it up for 70 consecutive hours. In the garrison of Namur sleep would have been impossible under such a terrific canncnade, and want of sleep is a stronger engine of war than even the German 11-inch howitzers. From Namur right down through the northwestern part of France the German advance was conducted on the "two shift" principle, which means that twice a day when the "shift' that has just slept, comes up to the front to relieve the "shift" whose time for sleep has come, the firing line is reenforced to the full strength of the army and vast attacks can be launched. These, it will be observed, have been the tactics employed for the great German dashes have not been continuous, although the general movement forward during that stage of the war was. Only soldiers who have fought through arduous campaigns can realize that sleep is a thing to which the bravest soldiers must eventually succumb. It is a struggle to beat off the healthy approach of sleep only for 24 hours; 70 hours is longer than most human beings can resist it, and by that time it is so strong that it outweighs other considerations.

She says: "During the two years of my training as a nurse, while on night duty, I became addicted to coffee drinking. Between midnight and four in the morning, when the patients were asleep, there was little to do except make the rounds, and it was quite natural that I should want a hot cup of coffee about that time. I could keep awake better. "After three of four years of coffee drinking, I became a nervous wreck and thought that I simply could not live without my coffee. All this time I was subject to frequent billious attacks, sometimes so severe as to keep me in bed for several days. "After being married, Husband begged me to leave off coffee for he feared that it had already hurt me almost beyond repair, so I resolved to make an effort to release myself from the hurtful habit. "I began taking Postum, and for a few days felt the languid, tired feeling from the lack of the coffee drug, but I liked the taste of Postum, and that answered for the breakfast beverage all right. "Finally I began to feel clearer-headed and had steadier nerves. After a year's use of Postum I now feel like a new woman—have not had any billous attacks since I left off coffee."

When the announcement was made a short time ago that Thaviu, that wonder working music magician and his Russian band would again appear at the New State Fair at Muskoqze, October 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, there was a thrill of delight which swept this entire section of the country. This marvelous master of music is one of the most noted directors in the world of music and his renown has exalted him to the throne of the Muses in the hearts of the Oklahoma music lovers. A. F. Thaviu and his band have twice appeared at the annual attraction of Eastern Oklahoma and twice this genius and the members of this delightful collection of music artists have brought joy to the patrons of the New State Fair. As usual this leader of the perfect makers of harmony has some nifty surprises for the fairgoers. Besides his regular band he is offering a cabaret trio, grand opera sextette and M. A. F. THAVIU. tango dancers. Each act in itself is a rare treat which is seldom seen off the big theatrical circuits in the east. As tango dancing is quite the craze just now it might be interesting to many of the good folks of this great state to know that Thaviu has obtained the original band of Russian tango artists. Of course there are many who will say the tango was originated in Argentine Republic but if investigated it will be found that the Argentine dance is merely a version of this Russian band of original tango dancers. As for the grand opera sextette—well anyone who has ever attended the New State Fair and has had the pleasure of hearing Thaviu knows that he has only the best to offer in this line of the classics. If you care for the cabaret, you will find in the trio the efflorescent types that sparkle with their bubbling rag time and popular songs of the day. With the easy sway of the music these performers fairly weave a web of pleasure for the delighted listeners. But enough, for every Oklahoma knows Thaviu by reputation and they will go miles just to hear him and his band play. Twenty thousand dollars. A pretty good sum but the New State fair does things right. Farmers and stock raisers you want to get busy and take advantage of the big premiums. CHICKENS? YOU BET. SEE POULTRY SHOW The chickens will be there. Visit the poultry show and you will see the finest display in this line ever exhibited in Oklahoma. Poultry raisers of this section are decidedly in earnest in their work to educate the people to raising good products. It is their opinion, they can greatly assist in lowering the high cost of living if citizens will attend the fair, see the possibilities of raising poultry and grasp the opportunity. Those who have taken up this industry find it quite profitable and they say there is much room for others who are discouraged with other pursuits of life. Liberal premiums offered in this department has stimulated interest which makes the prospects for success very bright. To boost the industry throughout this section of the country it is probable there will be books, pamphlets and circulars given out by the leaders in the poultry movement. People really are interested in poultry raising. WE DO JOB PRINTING LARGE PURSES ATTRACT THE BEST HORSES Only once a year the people of this section of the country have an opportunity to experience the fascinating excitement of horse racing. Yearly the New State Fair offers the thrills which are relished by nearly everyone. With $10,000 being offered in the way of purses for the racing department the best card ever presented to the lovers of this sport in this section of the country will be seen during the six big days of the Eastern Oklahoma attraction. The handsome purses which are being offered have drawn nearly three hundred harness horses to the big event. In addition to this there will be at least two hundred running horses ready to start in the races when the fair opens. The 2:19 trot for $1,000 has drawn the largest number of entries. Fifty-two of the finest animals that ever stepped over a half mile track in the middle west have been entered. The interest in this event is unusually keen. With forty-eight horses entered in the 2:30 trot for $1,000, this promises to be one of the exciting events of the year. Horsemen say that among the list are several wonderful horses which will be in the first money of champion racers by the end of the season. Many have already demonstrated much speed on the track this year and when they are ready to enter the racing next season they will have marks which will send them into the very fast classes. The 2:14 pace for $4,000 probably will be one of the most lively events on the card. Animals which have been making remarkable records throughout the middle west this season are in this race. Several horses that have been rivals in other races on various circuits during the present year will again meet at the New State Fair to compete for the money in this contest. This of course has whetted the interest in this race until now many interested sporting men are out through the country inspecting the ponies entered in this event. In the 2:25 pace for $1,000, forty-five owners have entered their horses to compete for the big money. The 2:25 class always interests the public for the races of animals with this mark are always good. The big money offered for the event has attracted good horses, so the lovers of horse races may feel sure they will see a classy exhibition of speed in this contest. Many persons love the thrill of the running races. There is a lure of excitement about it that delights the audience and when the time comes for the jockeys, in their screaming colors to mount their horses, the patrons of the New State Fair will have to be prepared for excitement for there is going to be plenty of it. More runners have been entered in this department than ever before in the five years of its history. WONDERFUL AERIAL ACT Flying Bicketts, Family of Three One of Greatest Attractions at Fair.—Other Acts. The Flying Bicketts, that wonderful family of three persons, will appear as a free attraction at the fair. This act has been a great sensation throughout the entire country. For several seasons it has been headlining with some of the largest circuses on the road. Those who understand aerial acts say the Bicketts occupy the throne of show people in this line. The three members of this family actually have no regards for the law of gravitation. They sail through the air with the ease of birds. Another great attraction which will be free is the Blake Comedy Circus. This act carries Maude, the famous Hee-Haw mule. The mule is one of the funniest animals in the show business today. There are four ponies, four monkeys, four dogs and barrels of comedy and laughter. It is the best one-ring circus showing on fair time this season. The Flying Rosards, another comedy and classy act, will also be a free attraction. Everywhere this production has been staged it has pleased. It will do so again at Muskogee.

When the fair association was organized five years ago the board of directors decided that the best was none too good for the farmers, stock raisers and other exhibitors. The policy of giving handsome premiums was started the first year and has continued until now competition in every department is very keen, owing to the hundreds of exhibits which are displayed. By offering splendid prizes for the winners the New State Fair draws from the best throughout the country. To win at this great production, it is necessary to exhibit the best. This has acted as a stimulant to exhibitors as they strive to raise better stock, grow better agricultural products and to produce the finest kind of things in the domestic lines. This is one of the chief objects of the fair association. It is given for the purpose of interesting farmers, stock raisers and others. This of course brings about the display of the best and earnest efforts to attain the best. But while the management of the association has striven to give the "old folks" something worth while, the younger generation has not been overlooked. The members of the Boys and Girls Demonstration club yearly compete for prizes which are offered them in the raising of corn, kafer corn, cotton and canning. This club is under the supervision of the United States Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Plant Industry. For this department alone $150 is being given as premiums. The reward for good work awaits youth and the industrious ones who are anxious to make a mark in the world are preparing to have their products listed at the big Eastern Oklahoma attraction. It is pleasing to note the splendid work which has been done by the New State Fair concerning the raising of thoroughbred stock. Proml- A Tango Dancers With Thaviu nent stockmen say that through the interest in the fair there has been a general spread of "thoroughbredism" in this section of the country. Persons who never realized, what it meant to have pure bred animals in the past, now have their farms well stocked with the best in the land. New School Bdg. is Started The new Colored school for the East End is now under construction and in a few weeks will be ready for occupancy. The building will be a brick structure, of modern style and equipment. It will be used for the Manual Training and Domestic Science departments. The new building will cost $7,500.00. Noted Physicians Banquetted Here (Continued from page one) ford for years and who employed 13 White physicians and 7 Colored ones none of whom could locate the trouble. Dr. Bryant, who was master of ceremonies paid a high tribute to Dr. Wilson, who he said gave him his first lessons in surgery. Dr. Wilson was then instructor of Medical and surgical clinics in the Meharry University where he was employed 14 years. But the most profound and eloquent eulogy was probably given the Doctor by Dr. L. H. Johnston who had been with him in many of his operations and who is now, in a way associated with Dr. Wilson. It is said these two physicians have promised to treat more than 150 people here in Okla. for different trouble and many of these will be operations. Besides these a number of people at Coweta and Muskogee will go to the Hospital at Memphis so anxious are they to have Dr. Wilson and Dr. Johnston to treat them. Dr. Johnston will leave the state some time this month for Memphis with more than 15 people who are anxious to go as soon as possible. Others will go later on. Dr. Johnston makes weekly trips to Tulsa every Monday and is always busy every minute he is here. His headquarters when in the city is at the home of Mrs. Wm. Cherry, 311 North Greenwood. AUTO DARE DEVILS WILL CAPER THERE Louis Disbrow, a World's Champion to Battle for Title in Thrilling Motorcar Races. The roar of the exhausts and the flash of the mighty automobile racers as they sweep down and around the track, dueling with death in the fight against time, will be one of the thrilling features of the fifth annual production of the New State fair which will be held at Muskogee, October 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Lovers of intensified speed of the circular tracks will have the opportunity of seeing the world's champion, Louis Disbrow, the speed marvel who defies the laws of accelerated motion when daily he hangs a price on his head and combats with Fate in his great exhibition races. Disbrow, who evidently has an unquenchable thirst for speed, is the holder of several records on dirt race tracks. In his Simplex Zip he has driven at bullet-like speed filing away the seconds as he has chipped down other records. In the same way he will battle with others for the honors in Muskogee. Lou Heineman, a former member of the Marmon racing team, will be one of the contestants in the auto races. Heineman is no less a daredevil than Disbrow. When he races Heineman formerly was a racing partner of the famous Barney Oldfield. It was from this individual that Lou acquired the insane desire for speed. Eddie Hearne, the great little Chicago driver, is another one of the autoists who has entered in the contests. Hearne is another of race demons.
