Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. Ingram's Views On Social Equality. Vol 7 How long are we going to allow ourselves to be plagued, annoyed, harrassed and tormented by that ferocious host of heinous critics who are trying to prove the Washington and Wanamaker dinner to be a blunder, an error or an insult to social circles; can we not show them, can we not teach them, can we not correct them, can we not rescue them, can we not redeem them, can we not prove to them that we live in a progressive age, can they not keep pace with the rapidity of the twentieth century, do they not know this fact we are now living in the dawn and beginning of a new century. do they nst know the natural order of things is to go upwards and onwards towards perfections, do they not know that the ideas, fashions, practices and proverbs of the nineteenth century must necessarily be chloroformed and the slow funeral train of time will bear them back in the cemetery of antiquity and the proud hands of youth and wisdom will rear up in their stead greater, grander, nobler ideas, purer views, loftier sentiments than ever before enhance the souls of men to live in this age has a responsibility equal to its sublimity, every generation brings about unexpected reforms, social, religious and political societies must necessarily be remodeled to keep pace with the improved man, truth must be brought out of falsehood, light out of darkness, virtue out of vice, sereneness out of terror, reality out of pretention, the dogmatic hand of tyrany must be stayed wherever found, arrested, shackled and put in prison cells, and justice must reign in his stead; a natural truth is that birds of the same feather, beast of the same nature and outward appearance, men of the same inward principles flock together; birds know their associates by their feather, brutes know their associates by their outward appearance; an improved man knows his associates by his inward principles. Any man who chooses his associates by the color of the skin or outward appearance of a brutish nature, a pure case of Muskogee, I T., Thursday, November 2 1905. a bruitish spirit living in a human frame, a black heart beneath a white skin is the most abominable thing that occupies a place in space. The Wanamaker and Washington dinner proves the statement I said in previous writings, I said it was heart trouble and not race trouble that terrorized, annoyed and embarrassed our southern states; the hearts of Washington and Wanamaker being of the same color and they can safely, satisfactorily, peaceably and agreeably live in the same country, abide by the same laws, love and protect the same flag, ride in the same cars, dine at the some table, attend the same church, worship the same God. Mr. Wanamaker's heart being modled by the laws of truth and justice, seeks associates of his kind; it is as much impossible to have among you a white hearted man who will not seek white hearted, pure hearted, noble hearted, big hearted associates such as Booker T. Washington, as it is to have fire without heat, The centrifugal and centripetal forces plal their designated part in caring for creation, nor while God lives and holds the reigns of the solar system that is running pell-mell through space can this so-called race trouble be solved until those dirty, vicious, corrupted, outrageously black hearts that hide beneath white skins are whitened is completely destroyed. Some one may think I want social equality, I never did or never will seek social equality, but I want justice and all that belongs to it. truth and all its associates, right and all its prop ties, christianity and all its teaching, the latest and purest form of society and if this bring or include social equality let it come. I welcome it as a God send. Say reader, allow me to reason with you, let's see can we define or name the elements of pure society, first we must admit that christianity is the source, the origin, the foundation and the basis of any perfect or pure society has christianity ever known anyone except from or by his inward principle.

The vote on November seventh for constitution of the state Sequoyah will determine in a large measure the voting population of the Indian Territory. If Congress admits Sequoyah, as I believe will be done, then this vote will determine the voting strength of Counties and the wish of the people as to County seats. If Congress makes a joint state, as some of our people be lieve, this vote, whether YES or NO, will be used to determine the relative representation of Indian Territory in a Joint Constitutional Convention. Whether you are in favor of Joint Statehood, you will realize the force of this observation. I ask you, therefore to give publication to this letter until November seventh, so that its argument may be considered by the people. I send you under another cover, four copies of the more recent argument prepared for our Campaign Committees. I trust if these arguments appeal to you, either in part or in whole, that you will, from time to time, publish such items as meet your approval. This literature is sent simultaneously to the press,and therefore, is printed as economically as possible.

The second annual session of the equal suffrage association of the two territories was held in Chickasha last week. It is reported that the twenty-fifth infantry (colored), now stationed at Fort Reno, has been ordered to the Philippines to relieve the twenty-second, now on the islands. Three companies of the twenty-fifth are now in the Philippines. The townsite commission sold nearly all the lots in Mead last week. Lots sold from $10 for residence to $100 for business lots. It is now expected that the town will experience a building boom. A new bank will begin the erection of a two-story brick at once. The first car load of corn ever shipped out of Lawton was sent by the Humphrey Mill company to Galveston last week. The town of Steigler made a cotton record for herself one day last week. It received five hundred bales of cotton—four hundred of which brought 10.50. Twenty-three prisoners were taken from Muskogee last week to serve time at the United States jail at Fort Smith. Most of the prisoners were sentenced for selling and introducing intoxicating liquors in Indian Territory. Oklahoma City is experimenting with an oiled road. On the driveway between the city and Capitol Hill a stretch of road three hundred feet long has been picked out and the results of the work so far have been very satisfatory. Plans and specifications have been accepted by the Pauls Valley school board for two new brick school houses, to be built of Cherryvale pressed brick. The buildings will cost $23,000, and work is to be commence as soon as the material can be gotten on the ground. The third annual meeting of the Anti-Horsethief Association of Indian Territory was held at South McAlester last week. About four hundred delegates were present, representing nearly two hundred and fifty lodges. Dr. John Erwine, wanted for the killing of a bartender named Mann at Kaw City, September 28, was arrested last week about twenty miles southwest of Chickasha. Erwine made no attempt to escape or to conceal his identity. A reward of $1,300 was offered for his arrest. Warrants have been issued at Newkirk, and Turner Elk, Yellow Bull, Charles Pappan and Leslie Redleaf have been arrested on the charge of murdering Vivian Straightley on the Ponca reservation, after a drinking bout. The murder was a most brutal one, and for awhile was shrouded in complete mystery. A farmer named Faulkenburg, residing about twelve miles southeast of Altus, was found dead under a wagon load of coal between his home and that place. He had been to town and indulged quite freely in the flowing bowl. It is supposed he went to sleep and the wagon was overturned in a ditch near the road. NO DOUBT IT WAS HER TRUNK. If Familiarity of the Contents Went for Anything. The old lady had lost the check to her trunk, and the depot officials said that she must enumerate the contents and satisfy them that it belonged to her. "Wall, now," she began, "right on top of everything you'll find a red woolen shirt that I was taking to my brother William. William has rheumatism, and red woolen is powerful good for that." "What else?" "Then you come to three new sheets for Aunt Mary, with a new bed quilt for Aunt Sarah. Then there's a calico dress pattern for Aunt Mary's oldest girl, and a catskin cap for Aunt Sarah's oldest boy. Then you come to my clothes. There's a silk dress that has been turned top-to-bottom PASSAGE ROOM "Then You'll Find a Jar of Raspberry Jam." and made over again, and there's—" "I think the trunk must be yours," said the baggageman. "Wall, there's the old corset I bought five years ago, a white skirt that I'm going to put some new trimming on, and an alpaca dress that I may give to Aunt Mary if she hain't growed too stout. Then you'll find—" "You can have the trunk, ma'am." "Then you'll find a jar of raspberry jam, a bottle of currant wine and some—" "Take it along, ma'am—it's your trunk for sure." "Yes, it's my trunk, but now that you have got me naming the contents I'd like to tell you that there are two pairs of shoes, three pairs of stockings, my last year's bonnet, an extra waist and—" But the baggageman pulled the trunk around, broke off one of the handles, bent the lock and told her that he wouldn't be responsible for spontaneous combustion if the thing remained there fifteen minutes longer. A River That Bridges Itself. For a stretch of twenty-two miles the River Colorado in Texas, has bridged itself with logs of wood, which have jammed so tightly from one bank to the other that even dynamite is powerless to clear a way. It was at first only a slight jam of logs, which three or four men could have dealt with effectively; but it has grown at an enormous rate, and, in some places, has become solid ground, with vegetation and trees growing upon it. Roads have been cut through, over which teams cross from bank to bank as unconcernedly as though a great river was not rolling swiftly underneath. The monster raft has become an object of interest to tourists, but the authorities are taking steps to break up the bridge as soon as possible.—Montreal Herald. Alcoholic Drink from Rice. The alcoholic drink used in the province of Che-Kiang, in China, is made from fermented rice. Fermentation is induced by the addition of cakes made of wheat meal. An examination of these cakes by K. Saito shows that the particles of wheat are penetrated through and through by the mycelia of various fungi. Some seven or more different species were found. These fungi grow on the moistened rice, fermentation follows and a yellow liquid with an agreeable odor is produced. THE PRESIDENT WILL STOP IT His Photograph Being Sent Out With a Brand of Tobacco President Roosevelt has promised immediate attention to a subject laid before him, in connection with the use of his photograph for trade purposes. It appears that in every fifth twenty-five pound case of a certain brand of tobacco there is a picture of President Roosevelt, the other four containing pictures of King Edward, the mikado, Emperor William and the czar. Great indignation was caused among members of the cigar trade of the United States. M. W. Diffley, president of the Cigar Dealers' association of the United States, wrote a letter to President Roosevelt, in which he said: "I wish to protest against the use of your photograph in this manner, as our members consider it an insult to you." Secretary Loeb replied: "Your letter has been received, and on behalf of the president I thank you for calling attention to the matter on which you write. The subject in question will at once be taken up with the company you mention." A Teacher's Testimony. Hinton, Ky., Oct. 30th.—(Special.) It has long been claimed that Diabetes is incurable, but Mr. E. J. Thompson, teacher in the Hinton school, has pleasing evidence to the contrary. Mr. Thompson had Diabetes. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and is cured. In a statement he makes regarding the cure Mr. Thompson says: "I was troubled with my kidneys for more than two years and was treated by two of the best doctors in this part of the state. They claimed I had Diabetes and there was little to be done for me. Then I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what they did for me was wonderful. It is entirely owing to Dodd's Kidney Pills that I am now enjoying good health." Many doctors still maintain that Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes is a kidney disease and the kidney disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure has yet to be discovered. How a Fortune Was Founded The romantic story of how the late Dr. Arnold Pann, one of the foremost lawyers of Vienna, laid the foundation for his wealth is related in the newspapers of that city. About a quarter of a century ago a local jeweler by the name of Ott died, leaving a fortune of seven million florins. He was a bachelor, and he left no will, nor were the courts able to find out the name or whereabouts of any of his relatives. Arnold Penn devoted himself to the task of finding them. For months he followed clues in Austria and Germany, and was finally rewarded by finding not one or two relatives, but thirty. The money was handed out to him to be equally divided among the claimants, while he himself received 250,000 florins, a record fee. Omaha, Nebr., Oct. 26.—It is reported from Casper, Wyo., that sales of town lots for the new town of Shoshone, located at the edge of the Wind River Reservation on the new line of The Chicago & North-Western Railway across the state from Casper, have been unprecedented. Bidding for town lots runs high and a large number have been disposed of within a short time. Buyers evidently figure on the growth of the city here when the Indian Reservation is thrown open to settlement next June. According to a Tokio telegram to the London Standard, the Japanese total loss of life in the war up to date is set down at 72,000. Of this number 46,000 were killed, 10,970 died from wounds and 15,300 from sickness. They say of a certain Atchison man that he doesn't fear God, man or the devil. Who knows that the man isn't right?

WORK OF THE WITS WORK OF THE WITS HUMOROUS STORIES TOLD IN A FEW WORDS. Mr. Newpop's Safe Bet—Another Specimen of Those Useless Questions Land Agent's Query Easily Answered —Unsatisfactory Reward. Holds All Things. "Where," said the land agent, addressing an audience of possible purchasers, "where else on the face of the globe will you find in one place copper, tin, iron, cotton, hemp, grain and game?" And a voice from the crowd replied, "In the pocket of my youngest son."—Stray Stories. Those Useless Questions. "O, dear, did you get wet in the rain?" "No, I didn't get wet in the rain! I called a man a liar and he soaked me." As Anybody Ought to Know. The Doctor—The most remarkable case of stupidity I ever know was that of a patient of mine who had visited a sawmill. He never had seen a circular saw in motion before, and to see if it was going he stuck out his foot. The saw went right through his shoe as if it had been cheese and cut off all five of his toes in the twinkling of an eye—the lobster! The Professor—Pardon me, doctor, but if he had been a lobster he would have proceeded to grow another set of toes. To the Point. "Doctor," asked the caller, "what would you recommend for a disordered liver?" "My friend," said the old doctor, noting the color of his nose, "I should recommend that he live a more orderly life." A Good Bet. Mrs. Newpop—Mrs. Jones says that only one woman in a thousand is capable of bringing up children. Mr. Newpop—I'll bet she thinks she is one of the ones. "I notice they've got some insurance men on the stand in New York." "Looks more like they've got 'em on the run!" Real Animus of Movement Against Remedies Deservedly Popular. An adroit but plausible scheme by which it is hoped to prejudice the sale of proprietary medicines is the proposition to prohibit the sale of any remedy which "contains poison" unless each package or bottle is expressly labeled "Poison." Such bills are also well designed to impose upon men who have no familiarity with the subject matter. The pretense of protecting the public health put forth in support of such bills is generally the merest subterfuge; and whenever you hear a demand for a law of this kind it originates with those who have a direct pecuniary interest to serve by destroying the sale of proprietary remedies. Some of the best and most widely used remedies in the world contain some one ingredient which, if taken in sufficient quantities, might be poisonous, and yet the preparation as a whole is not poisonous at all. Opium, for instance, is used in small quantities in many of the best cures for coughs, colic, diarrhea, etc., in toothache drops and in almost all liniments. To require such medicines to be falsely labeled "poison" would be merely a cunning device to alarm the public and thus bring about the destruction of the sale of those remedies, and indirectly to compel people to procure the medicine they want by the more expensive method of consulting a physician and getting his prescription. In other words, it is an effort to prevent them from getting cheaply the remedies which they and their fathers before them have used for many years. Medical exchange.

This establish- ment has a capacity of ninety cords of hardwood a day, the wood consum- ed being slabs, crooked logs, treetops, and other hardwood offal from log- xing and lumbering operations. From one cord of this material there ig made ten gallons of wood alacohol, 98% per cent being pure; 20 pounds of acetate of lime, quicklime being added for this purpose, and fifty bushels of charcoal. Every product of the wood except the charcoal passes off in the form of gas and is reduced by distillation. Some irreducible gas and a little tar product are used as fuel. Nothing is lost. The Alcohol is worth 60 cents a gallon. The acetate of lime is worth 2 cents a pound and the charcoal is worth 10 cents a bushel. The value of the lime used is worth not over one-fourth of the value of the acetate. The value ot ‘the final product of the cord of refuse wood is, therefore, not far from $14. The process is not expensive. The plant running at full capacity, will turn out “& product daily worth $1,200 from ma- terial that has but little commercial value in its crude form, far Strainine Milk, A South Dakota man nas patented an attachment for milk cans which is designed for straining the milk as it flows into the pails. This attachment consists or a funnel-shaped device which can be inserted into or removed from the pails at pleasure. The milk can is partially inclosed by a cover, an opening being made in the center for the insertion of the at- tachment, the latter being held in place by a collar that fits snugly in the neck. The body of the attach- ment is shaped like a funnel, which extends downward into the pail and is closed by a bottom, the central por- tion being shaped like a hollow cone, intended to serve as a settling cham- ber. In the sides of the funnel are \ = Keeps Dust and Dirt Out. openings covered by screens or strain- ers, while another screen extends across the top of the funnel, In use the milk received in the fun- nel will pass through the upper funnel screen into the interior of the strainer and then into the settling chamber, The heavier particles of foreign mat- ter will gravitate into and remain in the settling chamber, while the light- er particles will be caught by the strainers as the milk falls out of the funnel into the pail, This attachment can also be used as a_ ventilating cover for a milk can by inverting it and placing it on the ean, the screen openings permitting free passage of air, De Lunatico Inquirendo. “Mr. Snipp, I will ask you if you have ever noticed any signs of incipi- ent insanity on the part of this man?” “Why—er—yes, sir, if I've got to answer that question, The last time he ordered a suit of clothes from me he insisted on paying for it in ad- vance.” Nothing hurts the feelings of the stuffed martyr like letting him alone, Mra.

MANUFACTURERS DALLAS, TEXAS and MEMPHIS, TENN. When a physician telisa woman, suf- fering from ovarian or womb trouble, that an operation is necessary it, of course, frightens her. The very thought of the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart. As one woman sees it, when told by her physician that she must undergo an operation, she felt that her death knell had sounded. Our hospitals are full of women who are thers for ovarian or womb operations! It is quite true that these troubles may reach a stage where an operation is the only resource, but such cases are much rarer than is generally supposed, because a great many women have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after the doctors had said an operation must be per- forined. In fact, up to thy / ‘nt where the knife must be used tos instant relief, this medicine is certain to help. The strongest and most grateful statements possible to make come from women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound, have escaped serious operations. Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of St. An- drew's Society, Hotel English, Indian- apolis, Ind.,writes of her cure as follows: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “T cannot find words to express my thanks for the good Lydia E. Pinktiam's Vegetable Compound did me. The doctor said fcould not get well unless I had an operation for ovarian and female troubles. I knew I could not stand the strain of an operation and made up my mind I would be an invalid for life. Ask Mra. Pinkham'’e Advice—A Wam Hearing how Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound had saved other women from serious operations I decided to oy it, and in less than four months I was entirely cured; and words fail to express my thankfulness.” Miss Margret Merkley of 275 84 Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “Loss of strength, extreme nervousness, severe shooting Punt through the pelvio organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and extreme irritation compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after making an examination, said that I had ovarian trou- ble and ulceration, and advised an operation as ay only hope. To this I strongly eure —and I decided as a last resort to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “To my surprise the ulceration healed, all the bad symptoms disappeared, and I am once more strong, vigorous and well; and I can- not express my thanks for what it has done for me,” Ovarian and womb troubles are steadily on the increase among women —and before submitting to an opera- tion every woman should try Lydia BE. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and write Mrs. P .kham at Lynn, Mass. for advice. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been curing the worst forms of female complaints, all ovarian troubles, inflammation, ul- ceration, falling and displacement of the womb, leucorrhoea, irregularities, indigestion and nervous prostration, Any woman who could read the many grateful letters on file in Mrs. Pink- ham's office would be convinced of the efficiency of her advice and Lydia B Pinkham’'s Vegetable Compound, an Best Understands a Woman's Ile SUFFERINGS UNTOLD.

WILL END LAND CONTROVERSY, Indian Territory Will Probably Act on Mr. Leupp’s Suggestion. Muskogee, I. T.-—Great interest in Indian Territory has been excited by the recommendation of Commis- sioner Leupp that the land of all fndians in the five civilized tribes, except their homesteads, be made subject to taxation. Ask any white man in the territory today what this country needs above all else and he will tell you the removal of re- strictions from the alienation of land. If the recommendation of Commis- sioner Leupp becomes a law, every acre of Indian land is made saleable, except the homestead. When land is made taxable it is made alienable. The recommendation of Commis- sioner Leupp and Secretary Hitch- cock shows that they contemplate the transition to statehood of the un- organized urea of the five civilized tribes, or to a territorial form of gov- ernment, otherwise there would be no system for levying or collecting taxes and no necessity for it, except for school funds. This {s the first apparent cognizance that has ever come from the Department of theIn- terior or the Indian bureau that in- dicates a change from the present regime, and it meets hearty approval from every section of Indian Terri- tory. RITES FOR JAPAN'S DEAD. The Great Shinto Service Held in — Tokio Yesterday. Tokio.—The great Shinto rites in memory of the naval officers and men who wer~ killed during the war were held today at Aoyama _ cemetery. Besides the admirals, officers and sailors, hundreds of civil dignitaries were present, Admiral Togo addressed the de- parted spirits, eulogizing their noble deeds in battle and their gallant co- operation which resulted in the sac- fice of their lives. He humbly asked repose for the spirits whose exemplary deeds in life had con- tributed to the victory over a power- ful enemy. While reading his address, Admir- al Togo was seen to be stirred with strong emotion, which was in con- trast with his calm demeanor while on the bridge of the Mikasa during the hottest battles, The ceremony was most impres- sive and calculated to leave a lasting impression on those who witnessed it. Thousands of sailors marched tc the accompanying strains of music to the cemetery and afterward to the naval club. WEBSTER REFINERY FOR TULSA Tulsa, I. T.-C.
