YEARNING OF THE SOUL,
Writer's Desires Expressed in Most
Beautiful Prose Verse.
Through every grass-blade in the
many thousand grasses; through the
million leaves, veined and edgecut, on
bush and tree; through the song
notes and the marked feathers of the
bird; through the insect's hum and the
color of the butterfly; through the soft,
•warm air and the flecks of clouds dis
solving—I used them all for prayer
with all the energy the sunbeams had
poured unwearied on the earth since
Sesoslris was conscious of them on the
ancient sands; with all the life that
bad been lived by vigorous man and
beauteous woman since first in dearest
<?reece the dream of the gods was
woven; with all the soul-life that had
■flowed a long stream down to me—I
prayed that I might have a soul more
than equal to, far beyond my concep
tion of those things of the past, the
present, and the fullness of all life;
not only equal to these, but beyond,
higher .and more powerful than I
-could imagine; that I might take from
all their energy, grandeur, and beauty,
and gather it unto me; that my soul
might be more than the cosmos of life,
—Richard Jefferies.
IT DID.
Mr. Holesale—So old Pepperpot had
a kick coining on that last bill of
goods, eh? Wouldn't that make you
sore?
Mr. Litewate (the salesman)—It did
me, sir. He kicked me out.
Uncle Ben Liked Her.
A Kansas City girl recently married
a man who lives in one of the smaller
near-by towns, and went there . with
him to live. The bridegroom was
naturally eager that his relatives
should like his bride and as one, an
old farmer, voiced no complimentary
opinion in his hearing he at last
asked:
“Uncle Ben, what do you think of
uny wife?”
"Wal, for a fact, George," responded
the old fellow, “you shore outmarried
yourself.”—Kansas City Times.

THE MILITIA ORDERED OL'T.
Governor Haskell Directs Company to
Preserve Order—Negroes Aided
Officers, and Excitement Sub
sides.
Okmulgee, Okla.—After an after
noon of the wildest scenes ever beheld
in Okmulgee, (luring which five were
killed, “and their murderer, a negro,
was burned to death by a furious mob,
which applied the torch to the house
In which he had taken refuge, Okmul
gee Sunday night is at the fever point
of excitement, and more trouble is
feared. Governor Haskell has dis
patched 10 companies of militia here
to assist in keeping order.
The dead:
W. E. ROBINSON, sheriff of Okmul
gee county.
HENRY KLABER, a patrolman.
JIM DECKARD, a negro.
TWO NEGROES, named Chapman,
brothers.
The wounded:
Steve Grayson, Indian boy, fatally
beaten.
Vic Farr, chief of police, shot
through shoulder.
Deputy sheriff} name not learned,
arm broken.
Seven others, slightly wounded.
The disturbance began at the St.
Louis and San Francisco Railroad
station, where Jim Deckard engaged
in a fight with an Indian boy, Steve
Grayson, and beat him into insensibil
ity with a rock.
Friends of Grayson notified the po
lice, and when Policeman Klaber went
to the station, Deckard fled to his
house nearby, barricaded himself in
and when Klaber approached Deckard
shot and instantly killed him. Sher
iff Robinson gathered a posse in a
few minutes and hurried to the scene.
Part of this posse was made up of a
group of negroes, whom the sheriff
commissioned as deputies.
As the posse approached the house,
Deckard opened fire with a rifle, fir
ing as rapidly as he could load his
weapon. The sheriff fell first, instant
ly killed. Then five of the negro dep
uties were slain. Deckard’s house was
soon surrounded by a frenzied mob of
armed men. Fire was set to a house
just north of Deckard's. Volleys were
poured into Deckard’s house and he
was shot down. He was seen to roll
aver on the floor, strike a match and
set fire to his own house, which was
socn a roaring furnace, in which his
body was burned. Deckard evidently
lad a large quantity of ammunition
stored in his house, for many car
ridges exploded while the house was
aurning.
Governor Haskell at Guthrie was no
lifted of the battle and of the bad feei
ng between the whites and negroes
hat had grown out of it and threat
ened a race riot. The governor at once
ordered the militia company at Mus
cogee to prepare to go to Okmulgee,
uid a sxtecial train was made ready
0 carry the troops, the gvoernor re
maining at his office. News of the
preparation to send military here had
1 good effect on the disorderly ele
ment on both races, and at 7 o'clock
Sunday night the crowd has dispersed
md further trouble was not expected.
When it became known that no oth
>r negro had assisted Deckard against
;he officers, the talk of reprisals sub
sided.
A telephone message from Governor
-faskell at 11 o'clock Sunday night
says that he will not order the Mus
cogee company to Okmulgee unless he
eceives further information. The offl
■ials have advised him that the town
s quiet, though there is still much
eeling over the event of the after
ioon. The streets of Okmulgee are te
ng patrolled by armed men, and it. is
bought morning will find the town re
stored to its usual quiet.

Hope Abandoned After Physicians'
Consultation.
Mrs. Enos Shearer, Yew and Wash

“For years I was

the secretions were
troublesome; pains
were intense. I was
fast in bed for four
months. Three doc

no cure for me and I was given up to

SEVERE HEMORRHOIDS
Sores, and Itching Eczema—Doctor
Thought an Operation Necessary
—Cuticura’s Efficacy Proven.
“I am now 80 years old, and three
years ago I was taken with an at
tack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding
and protruding. The doctor said the
only help for me was to go to a
hospital and be operated on. I tried
several remedies for months but did
not get much help. During this time
sores appeared which changed to a
terrible itching eczema. Then I began
to use Cuticnra Soap, Ointment, and
Pills, injecting a quantity of Cuticura
Ointment with a Cuticura Suppository
Syringe. It took a month of this
treatment to get me in a fairly healthy
state and then I treated myself once
a day for three months and, after that,
once or twice a week. The treatments
I tried took a lot of money, and it is
fortunate that I used Cuticura. J. H.

FUN FOR “HAPPY COUPLE.”
Modern Wedding Described with Pos
sibly Slight Exaggeration.
The young pair had so many friends
that the police were quite unable to
cope with the situation. The bride
was headed up in a barrel and thrown
into the river, while the groom was
bound and gagged and suspended by
his feet from a tall tree.
At this point the military was
called out and arrived at double quick
just in time to save the baggage from
being pasted over with insulting pla
cards.
A number of shot were exchanged.
At a late hour the city was reported
quiet and the authorities, though not
denying the popularity of the high
contracting parties, were confident,
that there would be no more violence.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion or tin* car. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition ol the
mucous lining of the Kustachian lube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is tlie result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion. hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
Wo will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of
Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured

A Riddle.
An English paper recently asked its
readers for an answer to the follow
ing riddle:
What does a man love more than life,
Hate more than death or mortal
strife;
That which contented men desire,
The poor have, and the rich require;
A miser spends, the spendthrift saves,
And all men carry to their graves?
All sorts of answers were sent in,
but the correct one was declared to
be “Nothing.”

Layne Released After the Inquest.
George Layne of Argenta was Sat
urday afternoon cleared of charges in
connection with the death of Alex.
Snyder, who died at Lonoke Friday
night as the result of knife wounds
inflicted by Layne Sunday, Xov. L
"We the jury find the deceased
came to his death as the result of
wounds inflicted by a knife in the
hands of George Layne and that the
killing was justifiable,” was the ver
dict of the coroner's jury after an in
quest had been held by Coroner F. A.
Corn. Immediately after the inquest
a preliminary examination was held
before .Magistrate W. E. Dempsey, at
Lonoke, and Layne was formally
freed of the charges.
Layne’s exoneration was due chief
ly to the testimony of Joe White, who
accompanied Snyder and Layne on the
hunting expedition from Argenta to
Lonoke, and to the testimony of Layne
himself.
The testimony of both was that Sny
der was the aggressor and that Layne
would have been seriously injured or
killed if he had not defended himself.
Snydew, they said, who had been
drinking, said he could "cut t.he -
heart out of Layne” because the lat
ter, he said, had gotten him to go on
the trip under false pretense. Sny
der then rushed toward Layne, who
ran around a wagon several times anu
then took refuge behind a tree.
There he was attacked by Snyder,
whom he stabbed, inflicting two
wounds with his knife. The jury found
no wounds in Snyder’s back. It was
reported that he had been stabbed
from behind.
Pate Travis, the fisherman who took
Snyder to Lonoke after the stabbing,
testified that Snyder had been drink
ing.
Farmers' Union Offers Reward.
The Randolph County Farmers’
Union, in session at Pocahontas Sat
urday, passed the following resolu
tions with regard to alleged night
rider threats in that county:
“Resolved by the Randolph County
Farmers’ Union in special session,
That it will pay $25 for the arrest and
conviction of any of its members who
are guilty of night riding or of post
ing notices threatening to burn or de
stroy property or to do personal vio
lence to any person in this county.”
This action of the union was
prompted by the excitement caused
there by a threatening letter found in
the yard of County Judge S. M. White,
which threatened not oniy personal
violence to some of the prominent
citizens there, but also threatened to
destroy the town unless certain re
form orders contained in the letter
were obeyed. The letter is looked
upon by a majority of the people as
a joke.
Lamp Exploded; 2 Houses Burn.
The explosion of a lamp in the
home of F. Barlett, No. 1721 Bast.
Pullen street. Pine Bluff, Monday
night at 8 o’clock resulted in the com
plete destruction of the Bartlett home
and another cottage near by. The
other cottage was occupied by ne
groes.
The Bartlett home was a five-room
affair and was a complete loss. The
household effects were also badly dam
aged. The loss is about $1,500, with
$400 insurance.
Cut in Seventeen Places.
Ocoan Ralston, ex-constable of Ho
gan Township, and Ben Holmes, a
miner, got into a dispute at Ozark
Sunday over the strike at. Denning,
which ended in a serious affray in
which each cut the other with their
pocket knives. Ben Holmes was cut ! ■
times and liis recovery is doubtful.
Ralston was not seriously stabbed,
though he received several severe
cuts on his bead.
Negro Killed Near Morrilton.
Charles Kiff, a negro, was killed in
an altercation two miles from .Morril
ton Saturday night. His throat was
cut, the jugular vein being severed.
Frank Walker was arrested, charged
with doing the cutting, and taken to
Morrilton, where he is held. It is al
leged that the killing was the result of
a quarrei over a craps game.
Rob Washington Postoffice.
The postoffice at Washington, 10
miles from Hope, was broken into
and robbed Monday night of $50 gov
ernment funds and about $35 which
belonged to a church at Washington.
The commission of the postmistress
was also stolen. There is no clue to
the identity of the robbers.
Nego Made to Leave.
The report that gained wide circu
lation to the effect that a negro had
been lynched at Hope Saturday night is
groundless and doubtless had its ori
gin from a whipping administered to a
negro by white men that night. The
fellow had been molesting white wom
en and a hand of men took him to the
corporation limits, flogged him and,
after tiring a few revolver shots to
frighten hint, told niiii to leave the
town never to return. He has evident
ly taken heed of the warning, for he
has not since been seen there.
