A recent Issue of the Oklahoma Times-
Journal contains a portrait of Charles H.
Uecllck , son of John I. Hedlek of this city ,
and the following complimentary sketch-
Judge Charles R. Hedlek Is the senior
member of the llrm of Redlck , Lewis & Snyder -
der , and Is ono ot the leaders ( > f the terri
torial bar. No lawer in Oklahoma tonl-
tory is better k-iovvn throu ? h the length and
bieadth of the joung commonwealth either
as lawyer or politician
"Judge Hedlek has been on one side of
almost eveiy celebrated case In the torrl-
toiy since his residence In It. While ho Is
a lawer of largo experience as a gcneial
practitioner , he Is peculiarly successful as
a cross-examiner , and In his forensic efforts
before a juiy. These two attainments alone
make his serviced in great demand In crimi
nal cases , cspeclallly when the life of his
client Is nt stake.
"The Judge was leading counsel In the
first trial of the celebrated Benll murder
case at El Reno , nnd It Is said that It was
laigely owing to his magnificent closing ar
gument to the jury that live of that body
were for acquittal , making a retrial of the
case necessary. This with his efforts In the
Clyde Mattox case at Wichita , the Long Tom
case at Oklahoma City , the Beck oju.e at
El Reno the Doc East case at Oklahoma
City , the How ell case all murder cases of
great note have * conduced tei the icputa-
tion he now cnjoa as a great criminal law-
> er Mr. Hedick's firm has also a l.ugo civil
practice
"No territorial democratic convention his
been held without his active presence and
nicmbenhip and Mr Redlck has been o
delegate to the Mate-hood conventions of the
tv o tenltorles am ! was unanimous ! ) elrc'cd

It Is really surprising the number of supei-

sild to The Hee correspondent"About
ninety-nine out of every 100 fanners believe
that the bee marii'i destroys bees , but sci
entific rispnich absolutely cllspioves this
Idea. Every fanner believes that the hawk
only mission in life Is to steal chickens
Hawks , the people in the department saj
instead of being an enemy , aie among the
best friends the farmer has , and they onlv
rat chickens when drhen to do so by hungoi
The } live principally ! on field mice , and the
farmer would be o.crrdn wilh thorn wen
it not for the hawks The same Is true of
the crow that filches small quantities of

"Is the crow edible' " Prof. Mason was.
asked.
"That can bo best answered by politicians

"Every body knows the superstition concerning -

This is all nonsense , but the Agricultural

The Woman's club will hold Its flr rcR-

club rooms In OJJ Fellows' hnll llir > ro
ati- several matins of Inkiest whiih \ * i
come up at this meeting and which am
oxpcctul to call out a full utteiidame
It linn been announced that the prrsxiont
of the club. Mis Ella \V Peattle , who ns
elevated to that position only last sptuit ,
U about to remove fiom the cltv nnd wi I
tender her resignation , to take effect at
once The vice president. Sirs Towne , beIng -
Ing unwilling to assume the duties of the
picslilont. It is evpcetecl that an election of
a now president will be hold at once. Them
has been some talk about different ramli
dates among the members of the club , hut
as ) et no slate has brcn llxed. ami there
Is no way of telling who will bo the ptob-
able choice.
A movement Is on foot to give Mrs Pe.-utio
n lecepllon at the Commercial club looma
In connection with some of her other friends
and ndmlrers. befoie her departure Thin
recomMon will piobibly be fixed for Monday
of ncAt week .ind la Intended to bo a RCIS
oral expulsion of appteclatlon of the wmlc
which she bus done In behalf of the Woman a
club nml other Institutions of the city
Another Important mutter which will coim
up will be the lepoit of the committee on
rlub house. This committee , which wan
appointed before the Interruption of the reg
ular meetings last May , has been giving
the subject eaicful attention and feels that
theio Is nothing more for It to do without
histinotions from thu club as a whole. It
has ( x.imlned the plans of women's club
houses In different cities and has consulted
with architects lieto ns to the probable cost
of the dealt rd club house. A number of
sites have been offered , nt various prices , n
HUltnblo for the pin pose Any one of these
sites , however , would require a considera-
Tdt outlay ot money , Inasmuch as the com
mittee lias nude It a Mist consideration to
have * the location within the business area
of the city.
SEPARATE COHI'ORTION PROPOSED
The committee will piobably recommend
that in case the club house proposition Is
favoiably consldoied , a separate building
coiporatlon be foiined , v\lth shares In mod
erate * sums , so ns to bo w Ithln the reach ot
individual mcmhcMS of tin * dub , nml that
when a sufficient mibscilptlon to the Rtoclc
Is secured active steps bo taken to bccuio
a site and 1m c plans prepared.
The question of club house Is so Inti
mately cnnnected vv.lth the question of en
tertainment of the biennial confeienco of
the Woman's Club Federation for 1S98 that
the two properly go hand In hand The lo
cation of the conference was left to the ex
ecutive * council , and It was expected that
this council would meet this fall and settle
the question The condition of the finances
of the federation , bow over , did not seem
to Mrs Henrotln , the piebldent. to Justify
the- expense of calling the council together.
She wrote reccntl ) to the members of the
council suggc.sting that they should pay
tholr own expenses to ami from the meet
ing , which was to have been hold at Cin
cinnati upon Invitation ot the Cincinnati
Woman's club but out of the tepllcs re
ceived found that only two were willing
to attend upon those conditions Ono of
those two was Mrs Ford , the member from
Nebraska. Iho result is that tin * meeting ,
which was to have been held at Cincinnati
within the month , has been called off and
postponed until next bprlng. Tills mt-ana
that the location ot the IbUS conference will
not bo decided bcforo that time , and gives
Iho Omaha Woman's club a longer period
to decide upon the various ciuettions in
volved
Announcements will probably bo made at
the meeting tomorrow of the progiams ot
Iho different departments , nncl active work
liogun in those departments before another
