follows:

lieve that it would greatly tend to the
absence of corruption in politics if the
expenditures for nomination and elec
tion of all candidates and all contribu
tions received and expenditures made
by political conventions could be made
public, both In respect to state and Na
tional politics. For this reason, I am
strongly in favor of the purposes of the
bill which is now pending in the Senate
and House, bringing about this result
so far as National politics are con
cerned.' Why It Is Personal.
"I mark this letter personal because
I am anxious to avod assuming an atti
tude in the campaign which it is quite
possible I shall never have the right to
assume, but so far as my personal in
fluence Is concerned, I am anxious to
give it for the passage of the bill.

Vnion of Methodism.
Rev. Mr. Themas L. Lewis. Rev. Mr.
A. L. Reynolds and J. W. Herring, the
epecial commission appointed by the
Methodist Protestant General Confer
ence at Pittsburg last week, as a re
turn delegation to respond to the over
tures looking toward organixation with
the Methodist Episcopal Church, were
Introduced today.
The response of the Methodist Pro
testants, as given by Dr. Lewis, was
that that body believed in and was
eager for organic union, but because
Its membership is found both Nortti
and South, It Is most desirous of join
ing a united Methodism. They desire to
make their movement toward union a
means toward a larger union of the
Methodist Episcopal Church North and
the Methodist Episcopal Church South.
To add to the momentum of sentiment
toward thie'larger union, the Methodist
Protestants are asking the United
Brethren denomination to co-operate
with them in seeking this end, in this
way responding to the overtures re
ceived from the United Brethren look
ing toward organic union between the
Methodist Protestants and that body.

Red River.
OKLAHOMA SUFFERS MOST
Texas Rivers Are Subsiding and Few
Additional Fatalities Are Report
ed From . That State Prop
' erty Loss Many Millions.-
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., May 26. A
special from Collier, Okla., near the Texas
line, says that 14 persons who had taken
refuge on an island formed between the
new and old channels of Red River, were
drowned late - today, when the flood
waters covered the .place where they had
taken refuge.
Although weighted down with a train
of ballast, the, "Katy" railroad bridge
wefit out at 9' o'clock last night. The
river is over three miles, wide and is cut
ting a new channel around the town.
Three children of J. H. Robertson, a
ferryman, were carried to death when the
river swept away a tree In which they
had taken refuge, south of Lawton. Will
and Newt Stidham were drowned near
Henrietta while attempting to leave their
home, in a skiff.
WATER FALLS AT DALLAS.-
Death List Almost Certain to Be In
creased. DALLAS, Tex., May 26. After doing
damage of. over 11,000,000, drowning at
least three persons, and rendering .4000
persons In Dallas homeless, the Trinity
River today is falling slowly! It is. be
lieved that when the water has receded
it will be found that the number of deaths
will be Increased.
The workmen who were carried - down
with the Texas & Pacific Railroad bridge
yesterday have not all been accounted
for.
Frank Edwards lost his life last night
by falling into the back water on Me
Kinney avenue, in the heart of the resi
dence district.
Dallas business men are raising funds
to succor the distressed and homeless.
The city is still without lights and water,
the plants being Inundated. . A few street
cars are being operated by power fur
nished by private companies. All the Tail
roads are practically tied up, but few
trains being able to enter or leave Dallas.
FORT WORTH FEARS WORST
Trinity River Rises Again and Con
. ditions Are Serious.
PORT WORTH, Tex., May 26. With the
waters of the Trinity River still near the
summit of the banks another great vol
ume of water began pouring from the
west fork of that stream' toward this
city late last night. Early today the
river is rising at a rate of six inches an
hour, and with such conditions as already
prevail, the outcome when the crest of
this second rush of waters reach this
city cannot be foretold That considerable
additional property loss and suffering
will result is considered certain.
A serious situation has developed here
in regard to the city water supply, . The
mains are filled with black, muddy water
unfit for drinking- even after being boiled.
The city authorities declare it may be a
week before they can restore the normal
water supply. Meanwhile those who
can afford it are buying watar from pri
vate hi itistdn wens ana tause wno cannot
are drinking the water that cornea out
of the mains.
Thirteen men, women and children were
caught in the overflow in the Denton
River. Their condition became so pre
carious that they were forced to hold
the children upon their shoulders to
keep them from drowning. They stood in
water almost to their necks for ten hours
until rescued.
Thirteen employes engaged In repair
ing a bridge at Grapevine were hemmed
in by the rising waters on Monday. They
sought refuge on top of a big water tank
and at last accounts were still oh the
tanks, surrounded by four miles of water.
An attempt will be made to rescue them.
OKLAHOMA FLOODS RECEDING
Damage to Property Estimated at
$10,000,000 Eight Lives Lost.
GUTHRIBJ, Okla., May 2. The sun Is
Bhinlng in Oklahoma today, and the flood
waters are fast receding. No additional
loss of life is reported, and the homeless
are eg1nnlng gradually to return to
their homes. The death roll remains at
eight.
With miles of tracks washed out and
bridges damaged or destroyed, the rail
roads are still demoralized; train service
on many lines must remain annulled for
several days yet, while on others only a
partial service Is possible. The damage
to crops and railroads can, of course, be
enly roughly estimated, but a conserva
tive figure places the aggregate at close
to $10,000,000. It marks the costliest dis
aster aver sustained either in Oklahoma
or the Indian Territory or by the new
State of Oklahoma..
At Muskogee the Arkansas River con
tinued to rise VP to last night, but this
morning began gradually to lower. At
that point 1609 consumers are still with
out gas as a result of the principal main
breaking.
In West Guthrie, where more than 509
houses were submerged, the water drained
off fast today, and conditions began to
assume a normal aspect..
Around Shawnee; Sapulpa, Tulsa, Jenks
and- other points hundreds of railroad la
borers are at work repairing tracks and
bridges. At Stigler the Canadian River
has made a complete change of course,
and railroad bridges . that formerly
spanned that stream are rendered useless.

FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF
Why are there so many high priced patent coffee
pots on the market ? Read any of the advertise
ments. Listen to the arguments set forth by the
people who sell these. They will tell you that
their mission is to extract the poison that abounds '
in every coffee and to thus give you a clearer,
better tasting, more healthful beverage.
When you buy ' ' -
Brand Coffee
?ou don't have to use a fancy coffee pot or percolator,
ife have taken out the poison bearing, bitter tasting
element from the best coffee we can buy. This is the
part of the berry that when it comes in contact with
boiling water undergoes a chemical change. There is
liberated an-active, harm-doing, disagreeable tasting
substance that is not only injurious but detracts from
the natural delicious coffee flavor.
With "Puri-tan-ated" Coffee we have done in the first
place that which the manufacturers of coffee pots at
tempt to do for you at the time you brew the beverage.
When you use "Puri-tan-ated" Coffee you can brew it
in anything even a sauce pan. 1 It is just as good, too,
warmed over the next day as when, you first made it.
This is a subject worth looking up. .
