ANAFIOES FOUND
THEIR HOSTS BRAKE
Lawton Democrat. . -
Coming to Lawton to visit their
brethren the Comanches, with visions
of golden wealth before their eyes,
which they were in hope of winning
from their less crafty neighbors, by
the exciting games of "craps” and
“faro," the several hundred Arapahoes
. from the Darlington reservation near
- Bl Reno were sadly disappointed to
find the Comanches stone broke, and
with an empty larder, with which to
entertain their guests.
* But the government officials yester-
day announced that payments would

cries and other cries, when the red
men learned of the action of the gov-
, ernment, and there is weeping and
wailing and gnashing of teeth in the
% Indian camp today.-
Groat preparation had been made
for an Indian Monte Carlo games and
gambling apparatus of every kind had
been brought down by the visiting
Arapahoes. But now the Arapahoes
will have to play Monte, roll the wheel
and deal faro among themselves, for
wile Comanches are stone broke, and
will have to waft upon the tender mer-
cles of the government.
Great preparations had been made
by both tribes for a sensational friend-
* ship dance to have been held at the
camp last night, to which the people
of Lawton had looked forward with
great expectations, but both tribes
were so weak with hunger, and so
mad at the government, that they
could hardly wiggle.
Crowded vehicles of all descriptions
began making the trip to the camp
early in the evening, with hopes of
seeing the dance, but the occupants
| were sadly disappointed, for no dance
i did they see, instead they mw a bunch
t of determined faced warriors with
[ their squaws slowly packing up their
wigwams, and without tolling their
■ hosts, the Comanches, farewell, wend-
■ ing their way northward to their
I komes in the Darlington reservation.
1 With them they carried a lasting
■ grudge against the Comanches for at
distressed financial condition.
Some of the visitlag Arapahoes were
hi the city last eight waiting to put on
a celebration here August €, so his
tribe could earn some money. “
The greatest rivalry among the Re-
publicans is for the office of insurance
commissioner, for which there are
Mven candidates to go before the pri-
mary.,
All of the present representatives
in congress are candidates for renomi-
nation. The three Republican repre-
sentatives have opposition within the
ranks of their own party. The two
Democratic representatives will bs re-
nominated without opposition.
Primaries in Missouri
Special to The Times.
St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 1.—On the eve
of the Missouri general primary at the
end of an interesting and spirited
campaign, each of the factions and
candidates expresses confidence and
an unusually heavy vote is anticipated
throughout the state tomorrow.
Nominees are to be selected by all
the parties for minor state offices,
members of both branches of the legis-
lature, representatives in congress
and county and local officers.
The state officers to be nominated
are: One judge of the supreme court,
state superintendent of public schools,
and railroad and warehouse commis-
sioner. The Republicans have but one
candidate for each of the three places
on the ticket. On the Democratic side
the principal contest is for the nomi-
nation for railroad and warehouse
commissioner, for which there are five
names on the ballot.
An,entire congressional delegation
of sixteen members is to be chosen, full frock coat °r morning, coat, braid-
All of the incumbents are candidates
for renomination, with the exception
of Representative Harry M. Coudrey
of-the Twelfth district. Champ Clark
of the Ninth district, the Democratic
leader in the house, will be renomi-
nated without opposition, as will Rich-
ard' Bartholdt, Republican, in the
Tenth district. The other members
who are without opposition in their
own party are Congressmen Lloyd of,
the First district, Rucker of the Sec-
ond, Alexander of the Third, Dickin-
son of the Sixth, Shackleford of the
Eighth, Elvins of the Thirteenth, and
Murphy of the Sixteenth. The Demo-
crats have candidates in all of the con-
gressional districts and the Republi-
cans in all of the districts excepting and tinted silks are also shown this

WOMAN USES CACTUS
AS ARTICLE OF FOOD
Mexico Record.
Douglas, Ariz.—The Arisona cactua
seems to be coming into ita own. It
has been the hoax of everybody and
everything for half a century. The
only thing that has a stomach and that
has appreciated ita qualities in the past
was the burro, though during times of
extremely poor pasture, the ateer on
the range baa not disdained to riak
his noM in devouring it. The an-
nouncement is now made that the for,
est Mrvlce has decided to undertake
to a limited scope the spineless cac-
trict, has ordered a consignment of
the Burbank cacti, which will be Mt
out in the reMrve.
It is not only an Incident in the his-
tory of the much despised cactus that
while man has been exploiting its nu-
trition, woman has gone a step in ad-
vance and is now conducting experi-
ments with the cactus fruit with a
view to tempting man himself to in-
clude in his dinner the product of the
desert. The woman is Mrs. L. H. Yet
ter of Phoenix. Mrs. Tetter took the
hint which formed the basis of her new
field of operations in the cactus field
from a piece of candy.
/ "If the cactus will make taffy, why
will it not make jelly?" was her in-
ward query. She began to stow a deli-
cacy that would look good upon the
store shelf and please the master of
the household, as a pink, quivering
pyramid. The results are that cactus
pears, luscious to the eye and sweet
to the tooth, slabs of pickled cactus
tongue, cactus marmalade and cactus
jelly threaten to take some of the con-
ceit out of the ruby current and the
orange rind.
Now that Wizard Burbank has
taken the tickles out of the cactua,
they may be handled without gloves.
Specimens of the fruit abe has for-
warded to the different laboratories in
the hope of acquiring some definite
knowledge concerning the chemical
properittles of the plant and its fruit.

W. MATTHEWS MAY
MEAD TEXAS LEAGUE
Wilson Matthews may be the next
president of the Texas League, la
fact, the Matthews dope looks better
than any other. Joe Gardner of Dallas
is promoting the Matthews boom and
according to Joe, the election of the
umpire is cinched.
The office will be made into a lucra-
tive one. The salary will be, raised
to about $2,000 per annum. This can
be done without extra expense to the
clubs, for the offices of secretary and
president will be consolidated.
While Walter Morris of Fort Worth
/
has not made an expression, it is rea
sonable to believe that he will back
Matthews. Every owner in the league,
thinks Gardner, will favor Matthews,
with the exception of Doak Roberts of
Houston. The latter is an Allen man,
first, last and all the time.
Matthews would make an ideal pres-
ident. He understands baseball from
every angle. He has been a player
himself, aa umpire, and last, but not
least, a sport rwiter. He is known
everywhere as a square fellow and one
with courage. One thing is sure—he
would gather together a competent
staff of umpires and would stand be-
hind them to the last ditch.
„ If elected, Matthews would probably
maintain his office in Fort Worth,
which is his home, and where he
works in the winter months.
“I don’t look for but one change in
the circuit next year,” said Gardner
this morning. "There is much opposi- -
tion to Shreveport and Austin will
likely be selected in place of the Lou-
