J. Coady Johnson, a prominent lawyer of Wewoka, is circulating a letter received by him from Wm. H. Hurst, chief engineer of Chief Sam's expedition to Africa which brands Chief Sam as a giganactic fraud, and gives some important facts about the performed chief and his actions. According to this letter which was sent us by Geo. W. Perry, former editor of the Boley Progress, those who went with Chief Sam have repented their action and are now appealing to home folks to help them come back. The letter in full follows: February 25, 1915. Mr. J. C. Johnson, Attorney at Law. Wewoka, Okla. Dear Sir and Brother in Christ: It affords me great pleasure to write you a few lines in regard to my people who have been carried away from their happy homes and little children—now looking for those fathers to return back home. Well I am sorry to say that this Negro, our so-called leader, Chief Alfred C. Sam, has only lied and frauded the people out here. I find he never owned sixty-four square miles of land. He is hardly known here in Gold Coast by the people. I found out he is a trader on his race. I further learned that he has not lived here for years. I learn that he has been frauding and selling colored people for years. I learn from the Chiefs that Alfred C. Sam never was a Chief in Gold Coast. I learned that he had no place here at all, he fooled our people; he said the cattle here were eight feet high. I learned there isn't a cow in the place—this was fraud. He said you could get horses here; there isn't a horse here—this was fraud—I further learn and see every word is a lie;—there is not one word of truth in what he told our people. He promised to pay every man his money back when we got to Gold Coast. I learned that he didn't own a thing here, and didn't have a dollar to his name. He fooled the people out of their money on the road coming, and promised to pay it back; but just as soon as he got all the money they had, I'm sorry to say, I heard him tell some of the men who asked for their money; if they fooled with him he would have them tied down and whipped. I further say he lied about the ship. He told the Court that it was his own to keep from paying taxes on it. He further frauded his way here. When we reached Cape Coast we were met by one of the great men here (I don't know the man's name) who made two trips on board ship, and gave notice to each man and woman to not land in Gold Coast unless they paid twenty five pounds, which is $125 each. This so-called Chief Sam came on to Gold Coast and fooled the people there. He made out like he paid for them to land. He moved some over in Salt Pond until he got his trick fixed up. Then came, on the evening of Feb. 1, and fooled the rest he could off next morning out in the bushes. Then after they were gone he got automobiles and ran off with the men's wives. Now, this leaves a stain on us. They have been gone for the weeks and we can't hear a word from them. We believe he has gone away with these people. We believe he is trying to steal the ship and run it off and leave them in the bushes. God forbid such a man to live; he has just lied to the last. I was told that he was seen with one or two natives and a crowd of our people walking through the bushes about seventy-five miles out in the interior going north. I learned that one man, Mr. Holly and his wife, got sick on the road and they were left in the hands of God to starve. His wife was confined with a baby. They came to the ship and Fred Holly, his son, left to go --- The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma and see after him and bring him back to the ship. We learn that Rev. Polk, of Keokuk Falls, Okla., busted open his feet from walking so far in the bushes. I learn that he was also left by this Great Moses—Chief Sam—to suffer and die in the forest as a cast out, on the account of this lying Negro, Alfred C. Sam. I also learn that there isn't but one man in the place that knows anything about the Akim Trading Co. There isn't a word of truth in it; it is a lie. The only man who knows anything about it is a man named Taylor staying at Cape Coast. I learn that on the certificate it says one million dollars capital stock. I learn he never put up a cent. It was all fraud and lies. This is one of the driest things our race has ever gotten into since the world began. We are here—starving sometime, no bread on board, no water; our people are crying for help to come back home, and if the people don't help us we are lost here forevermore. We are out of coal, no money, no friends;—you all can see from that that death is at our doors. I will write you just as soon as I hear from you. Won't you take the matter up at once so I can get back home and stop my people, for God's sake? For if ever, I get back I will learn this Negro a lesson forever. He will never fool our people again. You at once spread the news, as these people don't know what to do; they have no way to come back home. Judge M. A. Sorrell and Chief Sam have ruined the race. They have made away with eight-five thousand dollars and can't show for it; and brought us over here and led our people astray. You all will have to have this ship brought back home. I am yet in possession of the engine room. I will try to stay until I can hear from you ask. Write to Galveston, Texas, and see the Counselor who sent us delegates and return back again, and have him call the vessel in at once for investigation; to give account of these people who are missing from the ship, and see if they were bought. It is dark to us the way this Chief Sam and M. A. Sorrell are acting—taking the money all out of the safe on the ship and went to the woods. Mr. J. C. Johnson, my wife and two little children are living out on the road not far from Wewoka, Okla. I wish you would send her word that I am yet alive. If you see Dave Buckner, tell him to be sure to tell her of my trouble and what I am in to. Tell her if life lasts I will come home some way. Yours truly in Christ, WILL H. HURT, Chief Engineer, on S. S. Liberia, Salt Pond, Gold Coast, W. A. The husband of Estella Hurt, Wewoka Okla., R. 2, U. S. A.

AUSTIN, April 27.—Flood conditions in Texas tonight were encouraging, rains having ceased in practically all the watcheads. Streams still were out of banks, however, and rising in southern sections, but further loss of life and property is not expected. The death list was increased to 27 today by the recovery oof the bodies of Elbert Ezell, nine years old, one unidentified woman and three negroes, near Austin. The missing is variously estimated at from 15 to 20. The property lamage throughout the state, it is estimated, will run into the millions, the figure being placed at a million TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1915 + and a half dollars in Austin alone. The Colorado river was falling here tonight. In south Texas, the Trinity San Marcos, Brazos and other rivers were rising, but it was not anticipated they would reach the high water record of 1913. The Red River still is rising and is reported to be ramaging the levees on the Arkansas-Texas line.

THIEF STRIPS MAN WHILE HE SLEEPS THIEF STRIPS MAN WHILE HE SLEEPS Wakes After "Forty Winks" to Find Clothes Stolen Off His Book Boston.—"I lost my shirt" is a not unfamiliar term in poker, but doesn't often happen literally. Out in Danvers there is a man, who shall be nameless, who not only lost his shirt, but his suit, his shoes and his hat as well, and in circumstances as unusual as the event itself. The man, incidentally, may safely claim to be the soundest sleeper in Danvers or any other town, for his loss took place while he was peacefully slumbering in the West Lynn freight yards recently, very much exhausted by an evening in Boston. He was fully clad when he left the Narrow Gauge train, so tired that he RECEIVING FUN TIME ONE decided to get in 40 winks before he proceeded toward his home.

Cameron was no more astonished than Mr. Danvers that any person or persons could have succeeded in re moving so many of his garments with out awakening him. The day was coming on apace, so without stopping to solve the mystery, the pair went to a milk station and after diligent search discovered a pair of overalls and a jumper. REPENTS AND SENDS BACK $5 Guest Who Jumped Hotel Bill Writes Manager That He Did Detroit, Mich.—Hotel guests have stolen silver spoons for souvenirs for decades. Occasionally one skips out without paying his bill and there have been many cases in which restitution has been made later because of a guilty conscience. The oddest thing in this line, however, has been made known in the Hotel Griswold when Seth Frymire, the clerk, opened up a parcel post package. He unrolled from the paper wrappings two bath towels which bore the hotel stamp, and inside was a note printed with a lead pencil and a $1 bill. "I left your house without settling my bill," the note read. "I want to pay it as it was wrong." The hotel people think they know who wrote the note, because only one guest in the last two months has failed to pay his bill. But they are not certain, and the $5 will be placed in the miscellaneous receipts. BURIED IN A STAGE COFFIN Actor Had Used It Short Time Before In Escape Stunt During Play. Shelby, Mich—Jefferson Howard, member of a theatrical company showing here, was found dead in bed recently. An act staged by this company in every town it stopped was featured by the escape of Howard from a coffin fastened securely and boxed. These coffins were always borrowed from the local undertaker. Howard's body was carried from the theater to the train in the same coffin he had a short time before escaped from. Subscription $1.00 Per Year Boosters Make a Hummer of a Trip Tulsans Create Biggest Show of the Opening Morning of Congress at Muskogee. STOPS AT PRINCIPAL POINTS Trip Made by Katy Going Down and Midland Coming Back; Band Does Fine Work Throughout Entire Day. The Tulsa Boosters, more than one hundred and fifty strong, swooped down on Muskogee Monday morning at 11 o'clock and for five hour demonstrated to the citizens and crowds who had journeyed there to attend the Southern Commercial Congress exercises on the opening day what real progressiveness is. Their parade four blocks long headed by the Tulsa band, caused as much comment as the big afternoon parade of the congress. The Tulsa Boosters were the only out of town guests who were strong enough to be in a class by themselves. Thousands of people viewed the Tulsa spectacle from the streets and windows in the downtown business district. The trip was one of the most successful ever made by the Commercial club of Tulsa. It was first thought that on account of the inclement weather that the number of boosters would be cut down materially, but to the surprise of everyone they were all there when the train blew the whistle to signal its leaving town. Broken Arrow was the first stop on the trip. The Tulsans were forced to welcome themselves as there were no Broken Arrow boosters to meet them at the station. The band marched to the business district and played several lively tunes while the Tulsans visited the different places of business and made the acquaintance of everyone possible. Coweta and Porter were the next stops. Headed by the band the boosters marched in double file, led by Jim Pilkington, the big Tulsa traffic officer, to the main part of the towns, "Tulsa Facts" were spread profusely to the inhabitants before the march back to the train. On the return, leaving Muskogee at 4 o'clock over the Midland Valley, stops of a similar nature were made at Haskell, Bixby and Jenks, all Tulsa shopping towns. A grand welcome was given at each of these places. DO YOU RAISE VEGETABLES? "A kitchen garden is half a living," they say, and even if you do not raise vegetables for the market you are interested in the remarkable successes made by gardeners and truck farmers by applying new scientific processes to their work. There is an immense profit in the pronunciation cultivation of vegetables, whether you eat them or sell them. Canning factories and city markets are demanding more and more vegetables to feed the large percentage of population in big cities who have no room to raise even a hill of potatoes. Whether you farm or whether you have only a tifty garden on your back lot we advise you to try a new plan next year and follow the suggestions made in "The Vegetable Grower," the new monthly devoted especially to the culture of garden truck. The regular price of this magazine is fifty cents a year, but we will send it to you, with two other magazines and our own paper all for only $1.25 a year—the biggest bargain in reading matter ever offered. See our advertisement on page eight.

SOME SOUPS WITHOUT MEAT. The purpose of a soup at the begin ning of a meal is mainly to prepare the stomach for the heavier foods which will follow by warming it and stimulating the flow of gastric juices. When soup is given as a food, taking the place of other dishes, it should be prepared with that end in view. A cream soup is one of the stomach for the heavier foods which will follow by warming it and stimulating the flow of gastric juices. When soup is given as a food, taking the place of other dishes, it should be prepared with that end in view. A cream soup is one of these—a meal with bread and butter. A purée of beans or peas is another satisfying soup. Asparagus Soup.—Take a bundle of asparagus, cut off the heads and put them aside for a more delicate dish or to be used as a garnish for the soup. Cover the shoots, after cutting in small pieces, with a quart of water; boil up and drain off the water, throwing this away'. Cover with boiling salted water and cook until the asparagus is tender. Rub through a colander, add this to the liquor in which it was cooked and with a pint of milk put on to heat. Cook together two tablespoonfuls of flour and butter, add to the heated soup and cook for five minutes. Serve very hot with crountons. When you have boiled cabbage for dinner, save the water in which it was cooked for Celery Soup.—Put two tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucenan, and when bubbling hot add a slice of onion; cook until brown, then add the cabbage water (a pint) and four good-sized carrots, put through the meat grinder (fine). Stew gently for an hour in a tightly covered kettle, then add two tablespoonfuls of butter; put the puree through a sieve, reheat, season with a dash of lemon juice and salt, and serve piping hot. Cream of Celery Soup.—This, perhaps is the soup which is the best liked of all the cream soups. Take three bunches of celery, wash and cut into small pieces and cook slowly for half an hour; press through a colander, using as much of the celery as can be pushed through. Put this into a double boiler with a quart of milk. Cook together three tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour and add to the purée. Cook until smooth; add seasoning of salt and dash of paprika. Men who look on nature and their fellow men, and cry that all is dark and gloomy, are in the right; but the somber colors are reflections from their own jaunified eyes and hearts.—Oliver Twist. APPETIZING DISHES FOR SUNDAY MEALS. The meals for Sunday are best prepared largely the day before when possible, so that the day may be a day of rest. If a roast is to be served it may be cooked on Saturday and reheated. The salad may be prepared, all ex- possible, so that the day may be a day of rest. If a roast is to be served it may be cooked on Saturday and reheated. The salad may be prepared, all except putting together. A dessert is often better to serve if made the day before, especially gelatin desserts. Veal With Sour Cream.—Take a loin of veal for roasting and lard with strips of fat salt pork, lay some in the pan before putting in the meat. Brown in a hot oven or sear over in a hot pan on top of the stove, dredge with flour and season and baste freely with sour cream the first half hour, then cook slowly. The flour will thicken the gravy sufficiently and it may be served either poured around the roast or in a sauceboat. Cherry and Grapefruit Salad.—Cut the chilled fruit in halves. Take out the pulp with a spoon and dress with French dressing. The juice of the grapefruit may be used in the place of French dressing. Serve on lettuce leaves or return to the skin from which the pulp was removed. Take half a cupful of canned cherries or maraschino cheesies and add to the grapefruit. Italian Potatoes.—Cut potatoes in cubes and cook in boiling, salted water. Drain and arrange in layers with a rich white sauce and a generous sprinkling of cheese. Bake until the buttered crumbs over the top are brown. Grape-Nuts Pudding.—One cupful of grape-nuts, one quart of milk, two eggs beaten until light, half a cupful of sugar and half a cupful of raisins. Bake slowly in a moderate oven.

Lingerie of the Season Delightfully Pretty—Novelty Is a Plaid Silk Combination Garment In a Gay Design. Lingerie, nowadays, is an ever interesting subject to the woman who likes clothes. But it is a rather unusual condition for petticoats to demand more attention than any other dainty undergarment. Petticoats, honored with general acceptance as an integral, a necessary part of woman's apparel for centuries, are interesting. Petticoats are unusual. Petticoats are actually novel. For so quickly are habits formed that we have almost forgotten how to wear a petticoat. There are really some young girls of the debutante class who have never, since they turned up their hair and took to the mature babilliments of women, worn a lingerie petticoat. And this summer they, like the rest of womankind, must take to full, old-fashioned lingerie petticoats. Under full-skirted evening frocks and afternoon frocks of sheer fabrics, petticoats of the sheerest organdale, trimmed with lace and tucks and ruffles will be worn. In themselves these are as lovely as any lingerie that we have known for many seasons. So, too, are the chiffon and crepe de chine petticoats of the spring. These are made primarily to use with negligees, and their added fullness is mainly in the nature of added ruffles and flounces of net and lace and loops of flowers and ribbon. Some very lovely petticoats for negligee wear are made of pale pink or blue chiffon and are trimmed with bands of black velvet ribbon heading the ruffles and flounces. Taffeta petticoats, too, are in fashion again. Naturally, they give the sort of stiffness needed under the full skirts, and they are made with many plaitings and ruffles. They rustle, too, quite as they used to rustle when they super-seded silk linings as part of the fashionable frock. Often two petticoats are worn—for the sake of fullness, too. So sudden, after all, has been the transition from the desire to look as matchlike as possible to the desire to look as much like a balloon as possible, that it is still startling to think of donning two petticoats to make the skirts stand out. Taffeta underwear, other than petticoats, is still worn. One of the novelties is a little plaid silk combination garment, gay in design. Taffeta undergarments have been found satisfactory by many women, and they will be used to some extent probably for a long time. The knitted Italian silk undergarments are still worn, in spite of the desire for stiffness and starch. For if the petticoat be stiff, it is still permissible to have the rest of the underclothing as soft and sheer as one desires to have it. And womankind can never again forego, with desire, the lovely little garments of crepe de chine, mull, chiffon and soft silk that she has grown used to. Much lace is used on lingerie, although already imported lace in many makes is difficult to obtain. But the lingerie makers of Paris, being women, are as available as ever and are still doing their work well; and their work, as everybody knows, makes less use of lace, more use of fine handstitching in the form of embroidery and tucks, than domestic made lingerie. Cleaning Heavy Skirts. This method of cleaning heavy skirts and dresses, especially light colored ones, is very successful. Dissolve one teaspoonful of shaved white soap, one teaspoonful of berax and one teaspoonful of household ammonia in a little boiling water. Then add a pint more of hot water. Lay the skirt on the ironing board and go over the entire skirt with a soft cloth wrung out of the preparation. If there are any spots, clean them first, and then a second time when you go over the whole skirt. Let the skirt dry, and, if there are any streaks, go over it again. When you lay a damp cloth on dress with a hot iron I will make the day worth while. I will play the game today with a warm heart and a cool head. I will smile when I feel like frowning. I will be patient when I feel tempted to scold. I will take personal command of myself. GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE.

A crust or crumb should never be thrown away. When stale bread is too hard for other use, put in the oven until dry enough to roll or pound, then sift and keep in a glass jar. These crumbs may be used for escaloped dishes, croquettes, cutlets and in puddings, if soaked long enough. never be thrown away.

These crumbs may be used for escaloped dishes, croquettes, cutlets and in puddings, if soaked long enough. Bread Crumb Pancakes.—Mix together two well beaten eggs, one-half tablespoonful of melted butter, one quarter of a cupful of flour, one pint of sour milk, one cupful of bread crumbs, one-half teaspoonful of salt, and the same of soda. Kings' Pudding.—Take two cupfuls of bread crumbs, soaked in half cupful of water a half hour, squeeze dry and add a half cupful of suet, one-half cupful of molasses, one egg, one cupful of milk, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, salt and half a teaspoonful of soda, a cupful of raisins and half a teaspoonful of cloves. If after mixing it seems too thin add a small amount of flour. Steam three hours and serve with a hard sauce. When you have a peach or two left from a can and a cupful of the juice, use them for a pudding sauce. Rub the peaches through a sieve, add to the juice with a bit of lemon juice and a tablespoonful each of butter and flour that have been cooked together. Serve this sauce hot on steamed sponge cake, cut in squares.

USING UP SCRAPS OF LACE Many Ways by Which Discarded Garments May Be Utilized to Great Advantage. Allover val lace makes excellent underwaists to wear with thin blouses. The edges of the underwaist are joined in a French seam overlaid with a lace tape on the right side. A sleeve of the lace reaches half way to the elbow and holds the shield. At the waist there is a lace beading wide enough to take an inch-wide ribbon. Exquisite accessories in the line of lingerie pillow covers, bedspreads, workbags and table covers may be made from old embroidered underclothes, blouses and dresses. First cut a pattern of the pillow cover, bedspread or whatever is to be made. Then cut the good parts of the embroidery into pieces of whatever shapes they will allow, and tack them in some balanced and regular form on the pattern. Join the pieces together with narrow insertion, or where a scalloped edge happens to come at the joining whip it to the next section. Use lace edging for the outside finish. As delicate dolllies are rarely washed or cleaned, this is an excellent use to which to put old embroideries that will not stand much laundering. FOR THE GUEST'S COMFORT Small Things That Amount to Much Will Be Provided by the Careful Hostess While the careful hostess will not overload her guest room with a horde of useless trifles, left-over Christmas gifts often, that will not fit into any other place in the house, she will appreciate this latest novelty in a dainty guest-room accessory, and may hang it, with a free conscience, on the dressing table for her next feminine visitor. It is a light-tinted ciffon bag, a shapeless affair gathered on to a ribbon-covered embroidery hoop. In it are piled, perhaps, a dozen individual powder puffs of softest cotton. Each bit of fluffiness is tied with a piece of narrow ribbon of the color chosen for the bag, and a jaunty bow offers a comfortable way of holding the diminutive puff when in operation. The real practical value of such a dainty bag lies, of course, in the fact that a guest returning from various pleasure jaunts, more or less soiled as to face and fatigued as to body, will relish a clean bit of cotton for applying the refreshing bit of alcohol, powder or rouge. To cut bias bands fold the corner of the goods up so that the two straight edges of the triangle are the same length. Make a crease. Measure off the width the bands are to be and draw lines with a yardstick and tailor's chalk. Mark off as many bands as needed before cutting. Cut on the marks carefully, as the least change will throw the bands off the true bias. Blas bands of thin materials, like silk, should be made over crinoline before being used. Why We Like Workbags. Perhaps the best part of a workbag is that it will stay put. For part of the bag, an essential part, is the ribbon or string by which it may be hung on a peg or the arm or the back of a chair. White corduroy coats are featured to some extent, and will doubtless be much worn with lingerie frocks in the summer. Blas Bands.

TAKE COMFORT IN TOBACCO Soldiers at the Front Find Solace In Their Supply of the "Soothing Weed." Good stories about smoking and smokers continue to fill the space in the British papers not occupied by news of "major" engagements. The following tribute has been paid to Gen. Sir Philip Chetwode by Sgt. A. Bowler of the Fifth Signal corps, R. E., who is at the front: "I have watched him calmly smoking a cigarette when shells have been dropping all over the place. I think that if all the German army were firing at him he would carry on as usual, smoking his cigarette and giving his orders as if he were at his club ordering a drink." In mid-February German soldiers on the western frontier received daily two cigars and two cigarettes, or an equal amount of chewing tobacco, snuff or pipe tobacco.

RECEIVERS FOR THE ROCK ISLAND PRESIDENT MUDGE AND FORMER SECRETARY OF WAR NAMED. Inability To Meet a Debt of $16,000 Causes the Crash.—Five Million In Bond Interest Due. Chicago—H. U. Mudge, president of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway who, with Jacob M. Dickinson, former secretary of war, was named receiver of the property in the United States district court will depend on the present physical condition of the road and the prosperity which he thinks is returning to the country to rehabilitate the corporation while the court affords it protection from its creditors. "The receivership, I believe, will be of short duration if the road is enabled to obtain its share of prosperity. The Rock Island is the largest railroad ever placed in the hands of receivers and it is in better physical condition than any road ever placed in a similar predicament. The immediate cause of the receivership was the maturity of obligations April 30, aggregating $5,000,000, which the road could not pay. Among these was a bill for $17,000 due the American Steel Foundries company which, through counsel, made the application for a receiver. A. C. Ridgeway, vice president of the railway company, and W. F. Dickinson, its general attorney appeared in court. Answering the petition Mr. Ridgeway stated that a receivership was the best means of protecting creditors, bond and stockholders and collateral interests. VILLA PREPARES FOR LAST STAND Northern Leader Trying to Assemble Remnants of His Army Washington—Consular dispatches received by the Washington government from various points in Mexico indicate that while temporarily disorganized by the defeat sustained at Celaya, General Villa and his forces have by no means been removed as a formidable factor in Mexico's civil war. Officials at the state department are guarding closely the reports received from consuls in the territory occupied by General Villa, as it is not desired to give out military information, but it is known that plans for another battle with General Obregon, the Carranza commander, are proceeding rapidly. Villa's chief difficulty, it was learned officially, is his lack of ammunition and until he replenishes his supply he probably will not risk another engagement. When he met Obregon at Celaya, Villa had sent forces to attack Matamoros, Nuevo Laredo, Tampico and west coast towns, greatly depleting his main force. Indications now are that he intends to concentrate all these forces in central Mexico for another supreme effort against Obregon. The Carranza forces are reported to be well supplied with ammunition and pressing the Villa army closely north of Irapuato. Carranza officials here claim the Villa movement has been given a crushing blow from which it will never recover. General Dieguez, the dispatches said, had taken Guadalajara and would act as Obregon's special guard. Villa's losses at Celaya were placed at 6,000 killed and 5,000 missing. Of 5,000 foreigners in Tampico, of whom half are Americans, only 300 have taken advantage of the United States government's offer of an opportunity to leave on the army transport Sumner. There are 285 American, ten British and five German subjects on the ship which has sailed. Peace Talk In Italy. Rome,—Within the last twenty-four hours there have arisen in Rome persistent reports that the grave international questions confronting Italy may be solved by what at first sight seems almost incredible, the conclusion of a general peace in Europe at a not distant date. While these reports are intangible and cannot at present be ascribed to a definite source, they nevertheless are reflected in high quarters and they are given heed by careful observers of international politics. THE TULSA STAR NOTHING WRONG WITH U.S. NAVY DANIELS DECLARES IMPROVE- MENTS MADE IN EVERY DEPARTMENT. ANSWERS ROCKINGCHAIR CRITICS More Warships, More Men and More Armament Than Ever Before Washington. — Secretary Daniels made public a letter he has written to President Garfield of Williams college, detailing the work in the navy during the last two years. Mr. Daniels wrote in reply to Mr. Garfield's request for material to meet statements that the United States is unprepared for military emergencies. The letter follows: "There are now in active service, fully commissioned, 225 vessels of all characters, which is 36 more than were fully commissioned when I became secretary. There are also 101 vessels of various types, in reserve and in ordinary and uncommissioned, capable of rendering service in war. We have under construction and authorized 77 vessels (9 dreadnaughts, 23 destroyers, 38 submarines and 7 auxiliaries) as compared with 54 vessels (5 dreadnaughts, 14 destroyers, 23 submarines, 3 gunboats and 9 auxiliaries) which were under construction on March 1, 1913. "All the vessels enumerated, those in active service and those in reserve, are supplied with munitions of war. No navy makes public the quantity of ammunition and torpedoes, mines and other implements of naval warfare which it keeps ready. It may be said, however, that within the last two years the quantity of all has been steadily and greatly increased. For example, we have increased the number of mines, on hand and in process of manufacture. by 244 per cent. With reference to torpedoes, the increase in two years has been 90 per cent. By the enlargement of the naval powder factory, we shall soon be able almost to double its former capacity, and like enlargement of the torpedo works and the equipment of a plant to construct mines will still further increase, at decreased cost, the quantity of such stock, and the possession of the plants in times of emergency will enable the department to be in a better state of preparedness as regards the supply of ammunition, than ever before. Recruited to Maximum Strength "The personnel of the navy is at present composed of 4,355 line, staff and warrant officers, and 53,171 enlisted men. Increase in the number of officers is dependent almost entirely upon the output of the naval academy, admission to which is restricted by statute. The number of enlisted men also is restricted and the navy is today recruited to the maximum strength allowed. There are now with the colors 5,824 more men—an increase of 12 per cent—than there were on March 1, 1514. COTTON EXPORTERS ARE WORRIED State Department Asked To Make Special Effort To Release Ships. Washington.—The fact that American cotton shipments totaling thousands of bales and all destined for neutral ports are being held up by the allies is giving cotton exporters great concern and the state department has been requested to make special efforts in the case of five steamers now defined in European ports. Some of these were bound for Sweden and others carried cargoes consigned to Switzerland. The latter already have been the subject of protest by the Swiss government which sought the good offices of the United States at London and Rome to obtain release of the shipments. American ambassadors have been instructed to present the Swiss views. While the names of the five steamers as to which specific complaint is made are known, Senator Smith of Georgia who has discussed the matter at the state department, said that at least a half dozen other cotton ships were being held. The following steamers, he said, had sailed from the United States before March and were therefore within the terms fixed by the British order in council for unhampered passage: "The Nero, New Orleans to Genoa, held at Gibraltar; the Bja, Savannah to Gothenburg, held at Manchester; the Spiros Vilianos, Savannah to Gothenburg, held at Shernberg; the Southern, Charleston to Rotterdam, held at Falmouth." Six Ships Flying American Flag Seized London.—Warships of the allied fleet have captured and taken to Lennons the Hadj Dajout line steamers Virginia and Magda, which were flying the American flag. They carried cargoes which were declared to be contraband of war. The Times Mitylene correspondent says that four which steamers of Creek ownership, but which were flying the American flag are reported to have been seized and towed into Mudros for carrying contraband to Turkey. Status. SECOND BATTLE OF YPRES BEGUN BRITISH LINES FORCED BACK BY THE GERMANS. North Sea Naval Battle and New Attack on Dardanelles Now in Prospect. London.—With a big battle developing near Ypres in Flanders and reports of a prospective naval engagement in the North sea and of preparations for the commencement of a combined naval and military attack on the Dardanelles or some other vital spot in Turkey, the people of Europe are highly expectant. Of these three anticubited events, only one has actually reached fulfillment—the battle near Ypres. That a severe engagement has taken place in this part of Flanders is confirmed by the official reports, but these are so contradictory in their claims that the actual result of the preliminary fighting is not known. To those outside the war offices of the belligerent nations it would appear, however, that following their loss of Hill 60 and their failure after repeated attempts to recapture it, the Germans have commenced an offensive from the northeast against the Anglo-French line in front of Ypres, which was the scene of such bloody battles last autumn, and also against the Belgian line farther west. The Germans claim that, with a rush, they drove the allies back to the Ypres canal, taking 1,600 British and French prisoners, and a number of guns. The French account admits that the allies had to fall back, but it states that this was due to the use by the Germans of asphyxiating gas bombs. Paris asserts that in counter attacks the allies took many German prisoners and that the Belgians repulsed attacks launched against them. It is believed here that these operations are only the commencement of another battle of Ypres. Fighting continues in the Woevrze, and here also both the French and Germans claim successes. The French in this region seemingly are still on the offensive and apparently determined to attempt further to squeeze the German wedge which has its apex at St. Mihiel. The prediction of a naval battle in the North Sea, which is based on reports from Scandinavia or activity by the warships, the prohibition of shipping between England and Holland by the British admiralty and the announcement from the German admiralty that the German high seas fleet has several times lately been out in the North sea without encountering British ships, are incidents of the war that are calling forth much discussion. The only news from the Aegean sea comes from Athens and the Greek islands. It is to the effect that firing is heard at times in the vicinity of the Dardanelles and Smyrna, and also in the Gulf of Saros, where it is declared the allies have made a landing in the vicinity of the Turkish port of Enos. The Russian Black Sea torpedo boat squadron bombarded the Turkish coast between Archava and Artusschin on April 19. This fifteen-mile strip of coast, in which was located the quarters of the Turkish army operating in the region, was swept with shell and the barrack and provision stores were ignited and destroyed. A large number of Turkish cosatwise vessels laden with ammunition and supplies were sunk. Turkish land forces were initiating a sortie under cover of their artillery at the time. They were thrown into a panicle by the unexpected bombardment from the sea and their supporting guns were immediately silenced. On April 20 Turkish efforts to start an offensive in this region ceased. Only minor engagements are reported on the Prussian front. The greatest activity appears in the aircraft service. A Russian aeroplane of the "Ilya Mourometz" type, driven by four separate motors and capable of carrying the weight of sixteen men, has raided the Polish towns of Milawa near the East Prussian frontier, and Plockon on the Vistula. German aeroplanes likewise daily circle about the Ossowetz fortress, though they are kept at a distance by the Russian guns. One Russian aviator dropped a bomb on a German army transport near Kopetza to the northeast of Ossowetz and an observation point at Lopatuvatz. "In the same vicinity, on which the Germans had mounted a powerful electric reflector, also was destroyed by a bomb. A number of skirmishes are reported to have taken place at various points on the right bank of the Vistula river. The results of the fighting were not decisive. Thaw to Have Jury Trial New York.—The question of sanity of Harry K. Thaw will be determined by a jury. Supreme Court Justice Hendrick granted the application for a trial made by Thaw's attorneys. The trial was set for May 17. In discussing the date for the trial, it developed that the concensus of opinion of judge and counsel was that the trial would last only about a week Leo Frank's Last Appeal. Atlanta—Attorney for Leo M. Frank filed a petition with Governor Slatton and the Georgia prison commission asking that the sentence of death imposed upon Frank for the murder of Mary Phagan be commuted to life imprisonment. Among the grounds set forth by Frank in his appeal for executive clemency are the allegations that he is innocent of the crime and that the principal evidence upon which he was convicted was of a "questionable and unreliable character."

TEDDY ROOSEVELT is stil in the limelight, but the Col. is not enjoying it so much thhis time. WILLARD’S ANNOUNCED INTENTION to draw the Lol- or line in the prize ring is an open confession of fear and weakness; but of course that doesn’t matter to Willard so long as he can har the Colored fighters and dodge the white ones long enough to make a cood stake. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD so foohsh and needdless as race prejudice. It is the direct cause of more misery and unnecessary trouble than all the other ev ils on earth. Nowhere and at no time in all the history of the world has any good ever resulted from race prejudice, and yet nothing has a firmer hold on the human family. We are all more or less: afilicated with it to some extent. But most pitiable, contemptously pitiable is the average white man in his prejudice toward the Negro. In Oklahoma the whte man seems to have reached the limit in this respect. Before statehood the white people, Indians and Colored people here knew nothing at all of “Jim Crowism,” with all of its attending evils, and they all got along nicely together, ‘They went to school together, they went to church (ogether, in fact they went anywhere and every- where together in periect harmony. But with statehood came all these other evils and now they all seem to be going to hell together. And it is all because of this apparently increasing wave of race prej> udice. We have been “Jim Crowed” in every conseivable way while three states adjoining us have refused to belittle themselves by pass- ing “Jim Crow” laws. Surly the Negroes of Oklahoma are more sinned againse than sinning. “But a man’s a man for a’ that.” THE CIT Y SCHOOLS OF TULSA (except the Colored Schools) will be on the exhibit in the Convention hall early = * month, . This was planned by Supt. Oberholtzer who evidently intends to show the pudie what the schools are doing under his admin-| istration. ‘As far as it qoes this is alright, and will probably have the de- sired effect. It is a very nice thing to have a public school exhibi- tion of this kind and it is a good thing for the pupils of these schools. But for some reason, best known to Supt, Oberholtzer, the Colored schools have been barred from this exhibition, This, we think is an injustice, both to the general public and the students of the Colored schools, hut especially to the latter, ‘The excuse is given that there is not enough room in the Con vention hall to accommodate all the white schools and the colored schools, but in our opinion this is a very flimsy excuse. The Colored schools of this city are a part, an important part, of the city school system and the pupils of these schools are entitled to the same advantages in every respect as those given the white schools. We think the Colored schools should be allowed to enter this exhibition and if they are not we shall always feel that a great in- justice has been done the Colored boys and girls of this city. We believe the Colored teachers of this city are doing com- mendable work and should be given the same chance to demon- strate their work as that given the white teachers, Then too, the public needs to know more about the Negroes progress along educational and industrial lines, Give the poor Colored boys and girls a chance and we believe they will make good. A WORLD WIDE EQUAL RIGHTS MOVEMENT was in- augurated by the gathering of the delegates of 300,000 workers of the Jewishh faith, to plead with the United States to intercede in be half of the persecuted Jews in Europe and Asia. It is proposed to hold these conventions in all of the important cities of the globe and by constant agitation great good is expected to be derived At the close of the present war many changes will come in the dif- ferent powers, many demands will be made and concessions granted, Russia will especially be appeated to, for there is the seat of the, trouble. Such prominent people as Andrew Carnegie, Jacob H. Schiff, Gov, David J, Walsh of Massachsetts, Chas, W. Elliot, the French ambassador, M. Jusserand Jacob G. Sherman of Cornell, Jane Addams and many other persons of national fame have volun- teered their aid in arousing public opinion in the United States for this movement. The movement is to be universal in its scope and it is to be hoped that not only the Jews but our own race wll be placed on a basis with all other citizens. Whatever service for the good of this cause we can render, we will willingly give. The condi- tion: of the two races, one in Russia and the other in America, is al- most identical. ‘The fight is a common one, a humane one, and one that should enlist the sympathies and aid of every liberty loving person.—Chicago Defender.

President McKinley appointed Smalls Collector of the Port of Beaufort, and this post he held under succeeding administrations until President Wilson displaced him in 1913. He was always a staunch Republican and was delegate to several national conventions. "General Bob" acquired his title from his connection with his state militia. In 1873 he was appointed lieutenant-colonel in the Third regiment and had risen to the rank of major-general of the Second division when he was legislated out of the position in 1877. At New Orleans a short time ago the most notable gathering of Negroes in this country was held—the Bishops' Council of the African Methodist Episcopal church. These bishops came from Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Wilberforce, Ohio, Atlanta, Little Rock, Detroit, Columbia, S. C., and Nashville, and represent more than six thousand churches scattered over this country and in foreign lands. Perhaps no organization of Negroes has a more interesting history than the African Methodist Episcopal church. February 14, the one hundred and fifty-fifth anniversary of the birth of its founder, Richard Allen, who was born a slave in Philadelphia, Pa., February 14, 1760, when slavery flourished in the North as well as the South. He was, however, an extraordinary man, even as a slave. He caused the conversion of his own master, who proposed to let him buy his freedom. He saved by working at odd times, and about 1780, purchased his freedom and that of his brother for $2,000. He then went out as a preacher. In 1784 he was present as a spectator at the first Methodist general conference at Baltimore, Md. In 1786 he located in Philadelphia after preaching in New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. About this time the number of Negroes, or as they were called then "Africans," belonging to St. George's Methodist church was very great—indeed, so great that the trustees thought it best to confine them to a certain portion of the church. Many of them, however, preferred to have their own church, so that in 1787 they withdrew from St. George's church and started an "African" Methodist church. In 1794, they purchased an old blacksmith shop and moved it on a lot which they had purchased, and began worship there, "under their own vine and fig tree," in what they chose to call Bethel African Methodist church. This property cost less than $1,000. It is still owned by the church and is worth today more than $100,000, and is the oldest piece of property owned by a large Negro organization. Allen was a great leader and soon had a flourishing church. Meanwhile in New York, New Jersey and Maryland, other independent Negro churches were established. He conceived the idea of getting these together into one compact general organization. After visiting them he extended an invitation to meet in Philadelphia in April, 1816, to form a Christian denominational body under the name of the "African Methodist Episcopal church." This was done, and Richard Allen was elected and ordained the first bishop of this church, and the first Negro bishop in America. ana 26 years would be required, and in South Carolina 31 years would be required. These figures give an insight into the work that yet remains In Mississippi, for example, only 50 per cent of the Negro children are enrolled in the public schools; in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina only a little over 40 per cent of the Negro children are enrolled. In many of the counties of the South from ten to fifteen times more money is spent on the education of the white child in the public schools than is spent on the education of the Negro child. These conditions must be changed in the interest of the Negro and in the interest of the white man, who cannot enjoy the highest degree of culture until a sense of justice controls him in the distribution of the public school funds.—Booker Washington. Oil lamps lighted the London streets in 1861 and onward, while gas came into use just over 100 years ago.

Although most of the cities in Japan have good sidewalks, modern street paving is practically unknown in the empire. A loafer's favorite occupation is watching other men at work. --- "Gen Bob" Smalfa, who died recently at his home in Beaufort, S. C., was one of the richest and most noted Negroes of his time. Born in Beaufort in 1839, a slave, he spent his early boyhood on the river and was made pilot of the Confederate gunboat Planter, which was used as a dispatch boat by the post commander of Charleston. Under cover of darkness one night in 1862, when all the white officers of the boat were ashore, Smalfa took her out under the Confederate guns and delivered her and her crew of eight men over to the Union authorities. He was well rewarded for this service and made a pilot in the navy. He was serving in that capacity on the monitor Keokuk when the vessel was struck 96 times in the attack on Fort Sumter on April 7, 1863, sinking the next morning just after the crew had been taken off. Another story of his coolness under fire is related of Smalls in connection with the Planter. He was on her deck on one occasion when she was running a gantlet of fire from the Confederate batteries, but another man was in charge of her as pilot. Suddenly this man's nerve broke completely, and he left the wheel and hid in the coal bunkers. For a few moments the Planter was without a pilot. Then Smalls realized what had happened, rushed into the wheelhouse, and brought the boat through successfully. At the close of the war a bill was introduced into congress to make him a captain on the retired list, but the bill was tabled on the ground that no civilian had been made an officer on the retired list for services rendered, and that it would create a bad precedent. Although absolutely poor and illiterate when he first arrived in the Union lines, Smalls was both shrewd and courageous in facing big risks. His sudden wealth did not spoil him. He hoarded it until he saw a good chance for investment in buying up the rich farm lands which were going under the hammer to meet unpaid taxes. His title to these lands was challenged, but a decision of the supreme court proved his claim to them. Smalls soon entered politics. First he was in the state legislature, and then served several terms in congress. While there he once got into trouble, and it was a white senator from South Carolina, representing some of the bluest blood of the state, who helped him out of the difficulty. A state law in South Carolina made it a penal offence for a legislator to accept reward for voting in a certain way for any legislation. While a member of the legislature, Smalls was guilty of breaking this law in the case of one bill. His political enemies found it out and arrested him on the charge. This happened just when he was going to take his seat in congress as a representative from South Carolina. He secured bail, proceeded immediately to Washigton, and then claimed exemption from the charge in the state courts on the ground that he was a member of the federal legislature. This claim was not allowed, however, and had it not been for the help of the South Carolina senator, who, by the way, held the conventional southern views as to the status of Negroes, Smalls' political career might have come to a sudden close. Although he never mentioned the incident in any of his autobiographical writings, it is said that he never de- In a state like New York from seven to nine years are required to complete a public s hool course of nine months in the year.

THE TULSA STAR "Buy the Goods Not the Package" Advises Hon. Geo. W. Perkins, Chairman of New York's Food Committee. And it's good advice! Select the food that contains the greatest nutrition for the least money, whether in orately colored package or in a plain carton. The Grape-Nuts package isn't pretty—no money is wasted upon ornament—but it's air-tight and germ-proof, to protect the food and keep it in perfect condition. made of selected wheat and malted barley, is delicious, concentrated, easily digested, and contains, pound for pound, more nutrition than beef—and costs less. Grape-Nuts food has a delicious, nut-like flavour that is relished by old and young. It contains no sugar added, but its delicate sweetness is due to natural conversion of the starch of the grain into grape sugar by long, skilful baking. It comes all ready to eat with cream or good milk and it's mighty good! "There's a Reason" for Grape-Nuts JOKE WAS ON INVESTIGATOR He Had An Idea It Was on Restaurant Proprietor, but It Turned Out Otherwise. The late Norman B. Ream, the organizer of the steel trust and many other important corporations, once said to a New York reporter about a trust investigation: "Maybe these investigations will have the same luck as the game warden. "A game warden heard that a restaurant was serving a game out of season. He disguised himself with a false beard, visited the place and ordered a pheasant. "The pheasant, delicately high like roquefort cheese, as well as all good pheasant should be, was served to the game warden, and he devoured it to the last morsel, at the same time including severe punishment on a bottle of rare old Burgundy—for the state, of course, paid for all. "At the end of his repast the game warden summoned the proprietor and said. "I arrest you, sir, in the name of the law!" "The proprietor's mouth opened in astonishment. He swallowed two or three times, then he gasped: "Wh—what for?" "For serving me a pheasant out of season,' said the game warden. "A look of relief appear on the proprietor's face. "Oh,' he said, 'that wasn't pheasant. It was crow.'" Taking Precautions. "Mr. Mulligan," said Dennts, "you must have binifitted by the death of your mother-in-law, for whom you had small affection while she lived." "I did." "What did she leave you?" "She left me alone—isn't that enough?" "But I understand you've been spinding a hundred dollars, if you've spint a cent to get her out of purgatory." "Whistt now, and isn't it worth it to get her out before I get in?"—Exchange. Couldn't See Any Face An old friend, whose name I won't meign, told me this one: "I was born and brought up on a farm, and I had the habit of going around with my mouth wide open, especially if there was anything unusual going on. One day an uncle whom I had not seen for years paid us a visit. "Hullo, uncle!" said I, looking up at him with my mouth opened like a barn door. "He looked at me for a moment without answering, and then said: "Close your mouth, sonny, so I can see who you are." A Doubt. Bob—So she's rejected you again! Ned—Yes—worse luck!

"Doctor," he cried out, twisting and turning because of the agony, "you don't understand! You don't seem to grasp the case!

Mr. Woolridge was the next to register, and this is what he wrote: "Sam Woolridge and Valise, Versailles." Singling was just over in the kindergarten, and immediately a small hand flew up.

I may say that a friend had landed me in the town that morning from his car and I had sold goods enough to pay the expenses of the trip. "Well, I got away on the sorriest specimen of a horse I ever straddled, and I was to send him back by mail carrier, though not as a parcel post package. It took me two hours to cover the distance—I was sorry enough I hadn't walked—and as I passed the county jail on my old bag of bones a face grinned at me from between the bars of a small square window. I was too sore to smile, but I nodded to the grin, and the prisoner called to me: "Say, mister,' he said, 'how'd you like to trad, that critter for 30 days in jail?"

SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, Ill.) LESSON FOR MAY 2 SAUL TRIES TO KILL DAVID. LESSON TEXT-I Samuel 19:1-12. GOLDEN TEXT-Whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.Prov. 29:25. Although anointed by Samuel, victorious in arms and promoted at court, David was many years in reaching his throne. At first both court and army did him honor (ch. 18:2), yet he conducted himself with great modesty (18:18, 23). He also obeyed the king explicitly though he knew fully that he was the God-appointed successor of Saul. Escapes as wonderful and as providential as David's occur in the lives of most of us if we could but know them. I. David and Jonathan, vv. 13. The story of the love of David and Jonathan is a classic. With such close family relations and a son-in-law so successful at arms it is strange that Saul's anger should vent itself upon David. At first Saul was much attached to David but the admiration of the people for David aroused his jealousy, (ch. 18:6) and jealousy is peculiarly a soldier's disease. The slave of jealousy never has peace. As sin and disobedience developed in his life Saul became subject to fits of insane rage during one of which, as David played upon his harp and endeavored to quiet the monarch's spirit, he hurled a favelin, which served as his scepter, at the harpist (ch. 19:10). Saul felt that David was divinely protected and he knew that God had departed from his own life (15:23; 16:14). Saul did not keep his grief and rage to himself for Jonathan and the nation alike knew all about it. II. Saul and Jonathan, vv. 4.7. It took courage and self-sacrifice on Jonathan's part to speak on behalf of David. Prudence and principle are combined in Jonathan's plea. Those who envy include in their hate and anger all who speak kindly in behalf of their enemy. But Jonathan's argument (vv. 4, 5) is unanswerable. David had not sinned against Saul; it was Jehovah who "wrought a great salvation for all Israel" on the day David took his life in his hand and overcame Goliath. Jonathan pleads for God as well as for his friend. He called to Saul's memory his former joy at seeing Jehovah's victory through David and for the time being Saul was persuaded (v. 6) and made another of those impetuous promises which proved so fleeting. Ushered by Jonathan (Matt. 5:9) David returned to Saul's presence, entered once more upon the discharge of his duties and desisted only when he saw that his presence only aggravated the king and that he was uselessly exposing his life in Saul's presence. David was faithful to God and to God's anointed king. III. Michal and David, vv. 8:12. Saul's hatred was too deep to be permanently overcome. David went out and won a great victory over the Philistines and as he followed his courtly duty, Saul burst out with a fresh attack (vv. 8, 9). David had married Michal when about twenty-one years of age and Saul's attacks occurred during the next three years. The evil spirit mentioned was a demon (18:10; Acts 16:16-18; Mark 1:23-26), a messenger of Satan permitted by God for Saul's discipline (II Cor. 12:7). God permits evil to come upon men not to tempt them—solicit them to do wrong—but to bring them to repentance or to refine them as pure gold. Thus evil may be said to do God's work (ch. 4:1) "to be sent from Jehovah." IV. Summary. All who envy are murders at heart (Matt, 27:18; I John 3:12, 15). The present day murderers hurl their javelins of slander, lying and vituperation against the reputation of the men whom they hate. Or else they hurl unfair and unjust business methods at others that they may perpetuate their power or else build themselves up upon the ruins of those whom they envy. Saul missed David but he was no less a murderer. Satan always overshoots the mark when he assails one of God's anointed, chosen ones. Saul could not harm David though he wished to ever so much (Ps. 37:22; 33; Isa. 54:17; Luke 4:30; 10:39). Saul's hatred stopped not even at the threshold of David's house but invaded the sacred precincts of his home. Envy is blind, it assails all that a man has, spares none with whom he is connected and colors every act and relation of life even to the relations of father and child. Saul was frustrated by his own children, Jonathan and Michal. David's danger was imminent, hence his speedy escape. Men are strong in so far as they see God's purpose and discipline in their lives. Saul's experience at Naloth (vv. 23, 24) was a response of his emotional nature to a religious appeal, another time when God was waiting to be gracious. Divested of his armor and outer robes Saul lay in a trance, overcome by the power of him who turns the hearts of men as rivers of water. The wrath of man is made to praise him, the life of the prophet is preserved and likewise the life of his servant David.

"MY HEALTH IS PERFECT" So Says A North Carolina Lady In Telling What She Owes To Cardui, The Woman's Tonic. Mt. Alry, N. C.-Mrs. Ada Hull, of this place, says: "About six years ago I got in very bad health. I suffered terrible pains in my abdomen and back. I dreaded to see the sun rise and I dreaded to see it set, for I suffered such agony. No one except myself will ever know how badly I suffered. The doctor said I was suffering as a result of the menopause. As nothing gave me any relief, I asked the doctor if I hadn't better try Cardul. He said, 'It might help you,' and told my husband to get me a bottle. At this time I was so weak I could not lift my head, and my voice was so weak, people had to lean towards the bed to hear what I said. I looked so bad and had such a dark color that I looked like a dead woman, and my relatives thought I would never get up again. I took one bottle of Cardui and it relieved the pain and suffering so much that my husband got another bottle, and that improved me still more. I began to strengthen and gradually got well. I have now had better health for six years, than I ever had in all my life. I have taken no medicine since, and my health is perfect. Cardui is the finest medicine a woman could use." Try it.

BRING US YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS Muskogee Notes Muskogee Notes When it was not raining last week it was pouring down in sheets. The widely advertised Southern Commercial Congress under the auspice of the Muskogee Commercial and Rotary Clubs (both white organizations) began its sessions Monday, drawing quite a crowd of people to the city. So far as the Congress is concerned Mr. Ham does not appear very conspicuous, except by absence. There are many Colored citizens who believe that the parade given on Monday at the opening of the Commercial Congress fell very far short of the parade of last August given during the National Business League. The belief is well founded and the Negro League parade still stands unexcelled and uncellable in Muskogee. That is another feather for the cap of the gant of Antioch, the Rev. S. S Jones. Mrs. Gray D. Wilkinson of St. Louis Louisville, and Boley, who was called on urgent business to Boley on Tuesday day, was the honored guest of enter tainments given by the Mesdames S D. Hooker, Thos. Gray, C. C. Forney and others. While not altogether unexpected the death of Mr. L. A. Bell of Wagoner last week was quite a shock to his numerous friends and acquaintances in Muskogee. Mr. Bell was well known all over the state and especially here, for while he slept in Wagon he was for many years back on Muskogee streets before many Muskogeeans had begun their first morning nap. He was president of the late Peoples' Bank o. this city, publisher of the American of Wagoner, a leader in stalwart republicanism, and an earnest advocate of every upward movement for his race. He was prominent in secret society circles and introduced true masonry to Oklahoma Negroes serving as first Grand Master. A few weeks over a year ago in April he conducted the masonic funeral ritual over the body of his intimate friend, the late Dr. Robert Smith. Had Mr. Bell been a white man his death would have been flashed throughout the Southwest. No man had any more intimate knowledge of the development of Oklahoma from a prairie waste to flourishing farms, oil and gas exploits and rich commercial centers. He had walked, ridden and driven over trails in every section of the state. Like a book, he knew the family history of the Indians and Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes and the location of their allotments was at his fingers' ends. The hunting up of this information was his life's work in Oklahoma. It is quite likely that the defeat of the Cherokee appropriation bill of Congers brought a loss to Mr. Bell of from a half million to a million dollars. This Cherokee roll had been prepared under Bell's direction in the old stone building at Wagoner, and the son of one of the wealthiest and most prominent white bankers of St. Louis did the typewriting. This defeat and the loss of his brother by death in Texas about two years ago deeply affected him, and he began to decline. He was a native of Mississippi, serried as a teacher for many years, and was prominent in the political affairs of that state during the reconstruction period. He leaves a wife, two daughters and a granddaughter. Quite a number of his Muskogee friends attended the funeral which was held at his residence on the east side of Wagoner. While the white people were in session last Monday night at the Commercial Congress trying with the best fruits of their brain and the most beautiful flowers of eloquence to launch a movement which would increase opportunities industrially and commercially throughout Oklahoma thus creating jobs and more jobs for PAGE EIGHT FRESH MEATS AND TIONERIES H ELGIN fruits, fancy candies, nuts on given all orders.

PRESCRIPTIONS everybody, a meeting of colored citizens had been called at Carter's hall for the avowed purpose of yanking some colored women out of employment in the public schools. The result of the meeting is apply told by the following clipped from Tuesday's Phoenix: Negro Citizens Endrose Work of the School Board. At a mass meeting of the negro citizens of Muskogee, held in Carter hall on South Second street last night, a resolution approving the manner in which the Muskogee school board handles the negro schools was adopted. The meeting was called for the express purpose of learning how the negro citizens as a whole stood on the matter. Complaints as to the matter in which the negro school affairs are managed have been heard by some prominent members of the race in Muskogee. The large percentage of the negroes, however, voted enthusiastically to support the board in all its actions. Following is the resolution: "Whereas, the colored schools of Muskogee are the best in the state of Oklahoma, taught and superintended by an earnest and efficient corps of teachers, and, Whereas, the teachers and principal labor unceasingly for the welfare of the children and school system. "Therefore, be it resolved, that the expression of this meeting is that we command the board of education for its high water mark of efficiency and the high standard of excellence which it has maintained in the selection of teachers for our schools."
