OKLAHOMA POLITICS
One of the features of the political
situation in the new state-to-be, Okla
homa, which will *be composed of the
old territory of Oklahoma and I dian
territory, is the rivalry between those
of the two political divisions. This
developed io the recently held consti
tutional convection and was again man
ifested in the Democratic primary
elect-on this moatn. Io both instances
the Indians wer victorious; and,
strange as it ought s?.em to the whi e
men, they won largely because of their
superior generaisnip.
C. N. Haskell, of Muskogee, I. T.,
was the organizer of the forces th t
ooctrolleJ the state constitutions' con
vention, and he was nominted for gov
ernor by a plurality of 14,U00 in the
Democratic primaries. R. L. Owen,
of Muskoeee, and Roy V. Hoffman, of
Chandler were nominated for Unueo
States senators by pluralities of 6,000
and $.000. The last named is the only
ooe of the three who resides in Okla
homa proper, an- his town is right on
ibe border of the Creek nation.
It is predicted that the results of the
quarrel between the sections will give
the Republicans at least two of the
congressmen from Oklahoma proper,
and a large representation in the state
legislature, if. indeed, the new state
does not go for that party.
Before leaving the United States last
Tuesday Gen. Kuroki said there is I
absolutely no probability of war be
tween the United States and Japan.
He said the demand for armed contact
in Japan is confined to the it responsible
class. He said the masses of the Japan
ese peopl>) have the very highest re
gard for Americans and the American
nation, and that he has discovered a
'.Ike feeling toward Japan in the United
States.
The people do not warm up to
Presidential Candidate Taft worth a
cent. He is formidable, apparently,
principally because he has the support
of President Roosevelt and the oppo
sition of the trusts? and that is a (great
deal.
A poll taken by Boston newspapers
Indicates that- the faculty of Harvard
Unlyersity is opwxed to President
Rooaevelt for president of that institu
tion. Many of the professors do not
deiire that>be be connecte i with the
organization at all, Ainrng tne latter
ia Presid -nt Eliot.
It Is claimed thai Dick Croker won
1250,000 and the enmi'v of Britain's
ariatoCratic r?otog set at the famous
Derby laat weei when his Orby crossed
the line in a carter, an easy winner,
though a 10 to 1 shot.
So Senator BeverlCge has cut away
from the president on ihis q.e? ioci of
presidential suocvss.oci V.'ril, ase-t in
the a?i at* u?uaily is reg.irdtd <-s very
comfortable by those who have trledjtt,
and Seve idge is politically wi.*e.
Probably there is something in a
name. They do say that Senator and
Presidential Candidate Ki.ox can give
and take hard knocks.
Mr. and Mrs. Corey are trying to
decide upon where thev will make their
futur: heme. Try Constantinople.
The Fourth of July committee will
hare no time to waste in getting ready
for the big celebration.
While the time is short, that Fourth
of July cenmittee is filled with good
workers. ^ ___

DANGER IN DELAY
Kidney DIiwim Ar?i Too Dangeron*
For Aluka People to Neglect
The great danger of kidney troubles
is chat the; get a firm hold before the

diabetes and Bright'* disease follow in
merciless succession. Don't neglect
your kidneys. Cure the kidneys with
the certaia and safe remedy, Doan's
Kiduey Pills.
Mrs Elizabeth Maxwell, of 415 \V.
Fourth St., O'ympia, Wa3h.,sjys: "I
hare no idea bow much suffering I
would hare avoided had I known the
value of Down's Kidney Pills sooner.
For three years I have suffered, docuv
ed and treated for a dropsical condition
of the body without ever knowing the
true source of the trouble to be in the
kidneys, until, about two months ago,
when I was loduoed to try Doan's Kid
ney Pills. I bad swelling of the feet
and limbe; my hands would puff up,
get tense and I could hardly close them.
Tue other symptoms wrt 'ost sight of
in ibe more noticeale ones. Af^er pro
curing uosn's Kidney Pills, I found
prompt relief from the sari. The
swelling and bloating were reduced
until ihey entirely disappeared and h
BftlBK up and strrngtbeniut: of u?y
hole sysiem was felt. The other day
I climbed up a steep hi.l without a
pa .se or a flutter of the heart. I was
? a 6 weeks ago that 1 tried the s me
fe^t and neany broke down in the
attempt."

I What a Dress Was |
| Responsible For. $
?vi-ist <v
[Original.]
Then.- were music and dancing and
feasting. In a recess sat a couple, as
couples have sat from the beginning of
the world, first under the primeval for
est, then in a skin covered dwelling
and uow In splendid residences. The
mau was lu the conventional black,
the- woman lu a d renin of a costume
that had just l>een tinned out at the
bauds of au artist
"Your answer Is linulV" asked the
man almost with a moan.
"Yes."
"But you have admitted that you
could be very happy w ith me."
"The happier I could lie the more
miserable 1 would lie."
"What do you uieun'f"
"In iH>verty I would suffer iu seeing
you suffer."
"But you might wait for souicthiug
better than poverty. At the gold ilehls
I shall"?
"A bird In the hand ts worth two In
the bush."
"Well?" anxiously.
"Within a few days I shall lie en
gaged to a man whoso fortune Is not
In the bowels of the earth."
It was wit'i a sickening sensation
about the hvart that he went away
from the plate where he had been told
that all he oared to strive for was dp
nled hlui. He turned and looked back
at the lights, ami the music came to
him iu moo:^>r.v. Shonld he go to the
river and end It all or carry out his In
tentlou t" go to t lie gold fields? The
former course was but a momentary
weakness; the lat'ii would take him
far awav from the g:.i who was about
to pass to another.
#*?**??
A man with a few streaks of gray in
his hair ai il beard entered a ballroom.
At the farther end a woman stood with
her back to 1dm. The moment Ills eye
lighted on her costume -lie started. Fif
teeu years before the girl who had i
worn that dress or its counterpart bad I
refused him and told him that she was
about to marry a man whose fortune
was a real tangible thing, not a d renin
of the future.. The iigure was the
same, and the hair, like hers, wns Jot
black. He advanced, and when still
at a distance she turned- She was like ;
his lost love, too much like her for the
Interval of years that had passed since |
lie had seen her. He had expected to j
see her look oldrr. But it was she i
Of that he was .|Ulte sure.
She walked past him on the arm of j
au attendant, but gave no heed t:? the '
newcomer who was so much Interested
In her. lit- was not surprised l!m I she !
did not recognize him. If she had no'
changed he had. Ho had been buriwi
u a wilderness aud bad done nothing
hut dig in the earth.
"That," he said to a friend, pointing
it the same time to lie girl. "Is or was
Miss Ilowes?"
?"Yes, Miss Howes."
"Please present ice "to her without
r pea king my nauie plainly, so that she
will not hear It."
The introduction was made and
"Donald King" so distorted as t;> sound
like another name.
"'Are yvu a resident of the city?
asked the girl by way of Introducing
conversation.
"I was at one time. I .lave been
aw:.y a long time."
"1 thought you must l>e a stranger,
since I don't remember ever I ? hi.ve
seen yon before."
"You have known me well."
"IV" Site looked til him searchhijrly.
"1 must admit that you have passe 1 out
of my memory."
"That's natural. It's years situ e we
parted. I might not have recivaLxd
you had it not been tor Suiuerhiiir; to
guide ice."
"Aud that Is?"
The orchestra gave the call for a
dance. A man came hurrying up to
Miss Howes and led her away.
Donald King laid his plans to make
more than a casual acquaintance of his
former love and kept his identity so
well concealed that he did not reveal
himself. He was careful to chat with
her only on subjects entirely discon
nected with their past affair aud l> urn
ed little more about her life since iheit
than she knew about his. lie wished
to know why she had not married, as
she had intended, but feared to reveal
himself by asking. He made rather
Quick love, but the lady seemed In
clined to listen.
Finally he revealed him elf In this
wise:
"When I went away you said that
you considered a bird In the hand
worth two In the bush. Why did you
not take the bird In the hand?"
"You speak in riddles."
"You are the woman I loved aud the
only woman I shall ever love. 1 might
not have recognized you on my return
had It not been that you wore the same
dress as the night before my depar
ture, when you told me U>ere was no
hop- for me on account of my poverty
But on my return 1 recognized you
and you excited lu me the same"?
"Are you bereft of your senses, ot
have you mistaken me for some one
else? That dress was given my older
sister years ago by my cousin. Edith
nowes. My sister wore it occasional
ly, aud now that Its sleeves and other
things in Its makeup havl come again
Into fashion I have been making use
of It."
' And yon are not Edith Howes?"
"No. I am Rebecca Howea."
Donald King married Rel>eoca Howes.
One day while drl?3ng with his wife
they met a woman fat and forty with
prematurely white hair. Rebecca smil
ed at her.
"Who Is she?" asked the husband.
"Edith Howes, the only woman you
ever loved," replied ht? wife, with a
laugh. EM.MALIXE a BURKE.
