Sieger the Burlington, Kan., miller, died under mysterious circumstances last Wednes day, testified to the coroner's jury todaj that Sieger had told her, ju3t before dy ing, that he had been chloroformed and robbed.

New York Woman Who Claims to Be Booth's Daughter. Enid, O. T., Feb. 18. The Enid Eagle has the following in addition to the sto ries already printed concerning David George, supposed by a limited circle to be Wilkes Booth: "Tho mystery of the death of David E. George, who committed suicide in Enid on January 12, and his claim that. he was John "Wilkes Booth, the murderer of President Lincoln, is not cleared, but deepens every day. Responsible persons claim to have positive proof that Booth and George were one. The Eagle Is in possession of evidence which it is not at liberty to use -as yet. and, while it Is not convincing unless substantiated, it greatly strengthens the theory of those who claim that the suicide told the truth. The body of George has not been in terred and it is believed that the under taker, Mr. Penniman, is holding it by order of those who would be supposed to have authority. However, the body is not accessible to public view. It was sup posed to have been buried two weeks ago, but as one of the weekly newspa pers violated the confidence imposed in it and stated last week that the body was still above ground, the Eagle feels at liberty to publish the facts also. "The following letter was received by Mayor Hensley of E1 Reno Saturday, and is self explanatory: " 'New York City, Feb. 11, 1903. " 'Mayor of El Reno: " 'Dear Sir: You will please pardon me for taking the liberty of addressing you, but if all the papers are telling the truth about the man who committed suicide in your territory D. E. George if he is really John Wilkes Booth, he is my father, and if there is no other iden tity proven, believe him, for he is telling the truth. He was married to my mother long after the assassination of Lincoln in the state of Tennessee. His wife's name was Louisa Booth and my name is after one of his sisters. I believe the only one he had, and one of my mother's sisters, Laura Ida Booth, is my name sake. Do 5'ou know whether he had a family in the territory or not? His wife, my mother, died in the year 1S79. I never saw my father; he went away two months before 1 was born. This story may seem very strange to you: never theless, it is true. 1 have a step-brother who saw them married, and if this is John Wilkes Booth, I am entitled to some of his estate. The papers mention several towns as the place of the suicide. The Globe-Democrat places it at Guth rie. Another clipping speaks of Enid, and another of El Reno. I have never been in the territory and do not under stand where these places are located. There is no use of me writing so much until I find out something more from the people who know everything about the matter. As soon as you answer this, 1 can give you all the information that you want. My people all live in the south, and they know all about what I am telling you and can give you all the information you want. Please do not give this to the papers, as I do not wish for any notoriety. Yours respectfully, " 'MRS. CHARLES LEVINE. " 'New York City. " Stirs the Bifn&tcre of Th! Kind Ycu Hats Always Bcc HONOR FOR OKLAHOMA. Will Have First Place at Dedication of World's Fair. Guthrie, O. " T., Fob. IS. No greater honor has ever been paid Oklahoma than that by ex-Governor Francis of Missouri, the president of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition managers. In a letter to the governor he designates the V.nce of honor, during the coming dedi cation of the exposition building at St. Louis to the Oklahoma National Guards, including the Troop A. band, the battal ion, or more, of the infantry. Governor Francis says that the escort to the president and the first place In the grand parade, prior to the dedication ceremonies, will be given Oklahoma, ac count of her being the youngest child of the Louisiana Purchase. Such an honor will do much to give Oklahoma the prop er standing at the exposition proper, and will also advertise the territory above all other states at the dedication cere monies. The matter should certainly be taken advantage of by the Oklahoma au thorities. Governor Ferguson, regarding the invi tation, says that he will use his influ ence toward accepting It in full, that Is taking the militia with him on that oc casion. He recognizes the great honor tendered the territory and the great re sults to be derived by the territory from it. DARROW IS SWORN IN. Springfield. III., Feb. IS. Clarence S.

Since the announcement has been made that dainty May Sarjrent would play an ; engagement at the Crawford Grand mat A CORKER But Not Much of a Pastor. There was an old clergyman In central New York state some years ago who was a very powerful speaker, but whose pri vate life was by no means exemplary. Some of the more out-spoken of his parishioners were in the habit of remon strating with him regularly about this and his reply invariably was: "Don't do as I do; do as I tell you to do." It Is so with a great many physicians. There are hundreds of medical men who fully understand th folly of drinking coffee and tea who tell their patients not to drink either, yet -who use one of the other themselves. But sometimes it knocks even the doctor out and he has to quit Old King Coffee. A physician of Wnsioja. Minn., save: "I was a liberal user of coffee from my youth and my health broke down .while at college in 1SS0. at 23 years of age, but I continued to use coffee until IS35. although I was nervous and suffered constantly from a condition known as diabetes Insipidus, a condition that Is well known to be due to nervousness. My weight was below par and no diet or tonic medicines were sufficient to restore my vitality awl strength. "In 1SSS I became suspicioes of coffee and I broke oft the habit rr taking up Posturn. Since that time my nerves have become strong and well and my weight his increased about thirty pounds. Well boiled, it Is a delicious. hedlthfal drink, heavy -with strength and mmsrfe. making qualities." Name furnished by Postum Co.. battle Creek. Mleb.

Packed houses continue to be the rule in every- city visited this season by Effie Ellsler in Julia Marlowe's original pro duction of "When Knighthood Was in Flower." No drama of the present dec ade has equalled this remarkable chi- valric romance of sixteenth century Eng land In point of artistic and financial success. Since its dramatization bj- Paul Kester and its production at the Criter ion theater.

TO BORE FOR GAS. Found in Kay County but Not In Paying Quantities. Ponca City, O. T., Feb. IS. The Cour ier says: "In a talk before the Commer cial club last night Lincoln McKinley, secretary of the Newkirk Gas and Mineral company, told of the progress that had been made along the line of prospect ing for gas and oil in this county. Mr. McKinley has made a thorough study of the subject and his statements and ex planations are Interesting and Instruc tive. "He says that the investigations so far made show that nowhere in Oklahoma are the prospects for securing both oil and gas in paying quantities so good as here in Kay county. "His company has already drilled two holes northeast of Kildare, in both of which gas and oil were struck, in consid erable quantities, the oil proving on anal ysis to be of superior quality. "These wells were sunk by contrac tors. The company has now bought one of the best drilling outfits that can he procured, employed expert drillers and is now prosecuting the -work under its own direction. The outfit cost about J5.0OO and is paid for. Work is now in progress on land adjoining Newkirk and it is expected that in about thirty days a sufficient depth will have been reached to demon strate the presence or absence of gas in that locality. "When that is done the company will be prepared to sink a well or wells at Ponca City, provided our people are will ing to provide the ways and means. "The general opinion seems to bo that this proposition of the Newkirk company should be accepted, and the matter was referred to the executive committee of the Commercial club, with Instructions to prepare a plan for undertaking the work and report it to the club at the next meeting."
