Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. Every Negro who loves his family will vote against the Lilly white in party caucases and if necessary, vote against at the polls. The Republican party is treading on dangerous grounds when they attempt to nominate these political parasites anywhere and at any time. Hon. Jim Harris will be nominated from the 70th. District. He is a stalwart Republican and beleives in a square deal. He is certain of election. Here's our hand. The time has come when every man regardless of race or color must stand for right, and in our party every man who knows what it means to live in h- [Arkansas, Texas et al] mnst stand like a stone wall for, Equal rights to all men and exclusive privilrge none. Is that asking too much? The large mouthed blatant demagouges who are getting popocratic money and selling out the race will be in a bad shape after they fail to "delivethe goods." It may be that the fellows can buy the Negro delegates, but we dont believe it and will not until after it has been done. It is said that James Huckelberry will attempt to run things over the rank and file of the Republican party on October the 9th, in the District convention and that he will have armed men at his back. We hope this is not true as it savors of bossism ring rule and the common people will object most strenuously to this kind of rule, no matter if a Federal official is a delegate to the convention and directs him to ride roughs od over the people. The bulldozing in the fourth district was an outrage upon common decency and the perpetrators will some day regret their action. The Republican party of this state cannot and will not condone such infernal practices. Richmond the autocrat in the ninth district did all in his power to defeat the majority Muskogee, I. T., Friday, October, 5 1906. and to send a delegate to the convention that represents the minority. Our boys are at last ditch fighters and in the political battle now on, it is war to the knife. and the knife to the hilt. Aside from the conditions that means success to the party is the question, whether, or not black legs, gamblers and grafter among the Negro shall rule and be called decent Nigroes as the Phoenix, names them. We desire to call the attention of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to the fact, that employees should spend their time at other points than Muskogee and some of them are very busily employed here while the boys are leaving school and the girls need instruction. Can it be the Nonpartisans and Democrat candidates interests are paramont to the children ander their supervision. Some of the fellows are fooling the opposition and taking their money, while we dont approve of this we say, that if you must releive them of their cash do so in a hurry and get on the right side before the convention. To the candidate we say, better keep your money. The game is up and you are throwing it away but do as you see best. When the Phoenix calls Sims and Morris respectable Negroes then its time to call a halt and ask who are these men that are the respectable Negroes of the twelfth district? Does this mean that the other men at the convention were not respectable? We think so, and call the attetion of them to the indictment. We know every man, lawyers and all who were at the bank Thursday night. Why they were there will make interesting reading, hereafter. And may be our leader of leaders was there. If the Popocratic candidate wins it will be because the Negroes who are delegates will sell their birth right for a mess of potage. If we get Jim crow cars just lay it to the men who have in their power to name the delegates to the constitutional convention. Watch their acts and you will know who the traitors are. RAYMOND WINS Douglass and His Resolutions REPUDIATED. JIM CROW CARS GIVEN BLACK EYE. At the Republican primaries on yesterday the Republican party declared for Judge C. W. Raymond as delegate to the constitutional convention At this writing there are 29 votes not contested for Raymond and three votes for Hopkins, there are 18 votes contested. The above is a fair honest statement of the condition of the party. Out in Dist. No. 4 it is reported that the Negroes were driven out of the convention by a Deputy U. S. Marshall at the request of the lily whites, men who formed the great majority of the party, proceeded to organize and elect their delegates. Down in Dist. 12 the Deputy U. S. Marshall was there but did not interfere with the meeting the same is true in Dist. No. 9. The lily whites and their black dupes have failed in their efforts to control the party. Douglass of resolution fame cracked his whip and a few black traitors got in harness and like slaves did the bidding of their master and even then they failed miserably to carry out the design of the Jim Crow car supporters Douglass et al. Purasuant to a call issued by J. Coody Johnson, president of the Nogro Protective League of the state of Oklahoma, the coioed voters of Thirteenth Recording Distirct of the Indian Territory met in convention at the United States Court House Wowoka. September, 29, and aopted the following resolutions. WHEREAS; in a meeting held in the city of Muskogee, certain persons, styling themselves the Republicans Press Association of the Third Congressional District, passed resolutions denhuning the Negro and declaring that he has no civil rights that the Republican party is bound to respect, and. WHEREAS, such doctrine is foreign to Republican principles and calculated to defeat the Republican party in the coming election; and, WHEREAS: the Republican party has always stood for equal rights to all citizens regardless of race or color, and under these principles the greatest civic liberty and prosperity has been enjoyed the Negro, now, therefore. be it resolved; by the Negroes of the Thirteenth Recording District that we denounce the resolutions of the Press Association aforementioned in toto, and the originators thereof as traitors to the No 3 Republican party; that we pledge ourselves to give our hearty and undivided support to any candidate nominatee by the Republican party, who favors these principles, that is to say equal rights to all, special privileges to none. Further; BE IT RESOLNED That the Negro has an abiding faith in the honor, wisdom and integrity of the Republican party, and cannot be driven from its ranks by any acts of hoodlums, masquerading as Republicans, when in truth they are Democrats.

Read the following analysis made by the state chemist who analyzed three bottles of Oxidine sent to him by the Secretary of the State Pharmaceutical Association (The Texas Retail Druggists Association): GOOD SEED CORN. Some of the Important Points by Which It May Be Known. Some of the more important observations to be made in the selection of seeds are: Yield, quality, uniformity, hardiness, time of ripening, freedom from attacks of smut and rust, and, in the case of small grain, the stiffness of the straw. The corn crop requires, perhaps, as great care in the selection as any other, and merits special attention, says the Prairie Farmer. The rapid improvement that has been made in this crop, combined with the readiness with which the different varieties cross and mix, renders it extremely subject to variation. Constant care is necessary in order to establish the desirable qualities that are brought out in these variations and to more thoroughly eradicate those not desirable. Some of the points to be observed in the selection of seed corn are: 1. The size and shape of ear; ear should approach as nearly as may be a uniform diameter from end to end. 2. Size and quality of cob, a medium sized cob being much better than a large, spongy one. 3. Depth of grain. 4. Shape of grain; grains should carry their wedge shape uniformly to the end, so that the ear may present as nearly as possible a solid surface. 5. Covering of cob; cob should be as completely and evenly covered as possible at both ends. 6. Hardness of grain, too hard and flinty a grain not being readily masticated and digested. A hard grain, also, is more liable to be a shallow one. 7. Grains of even, uniform size and similar shape, to make possible uniformity of planting. 8. Color of grain, purity of color indicating purity of the corn. SPREADING HAY IN MOW. Simple Device by Which the Hump in Center Is Avoided. I put my hay in barn by large hay fork, which runds on track, writes a correspondent of Rural New Yorker. The hay naturally falls in the center, and is hard to mow away. I nailed a dozen inch boards together with cross pieces on under side, and hung For Distributing Hay in Mow. as per diagram. When the forkful reaches the slide, the man above notifies the man on load to trip fork, and it slides to desired location. When one side has enough, slide is reversed. Begin Now. If you haven't a good place for a garden begin now to prepare one for next year. Make a yard for your cows in a good fertile spot as large as you desire for your garden and use it for a milk yard all summer. Plow it every two weeks to cover the manure and roll down. In the spring break deeply and work up well and you will have an excellent soil for the garden. How is the crop of boys and girls at your house this year? Good? Glad of it! No matter whether the corn and wheat and all things go wrong, if the harvest of young folks is all right. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. Cleon C.

Covered with Crusted Scaly Eczema When One Month Old—Cured by Cuticura at Expense of $4.50. "When I was one month old I was taken with eczema. After being under the treatment of two doctors for one month, and no improvement, my mother was advised by a druggist to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I was one crust of sores from head to foot. My mother could brush the scales off my body; and my finger and toe nails fell. After using six cakes of Cuticura Soap and about as much Cuticura Ointment I was completely cured.

Eleanor Duse, the famous Italian actress, has positively vetoed a plan to celebrate her jubilee as was done in England and France for Ellen Terry and Bernhardt. When the subject was broached to the signora she thanked her friends but declined the honor. She enjoys the distinction—almost unique in her profession—of shunning everything in the shape of publicity. As a general rule she also scorns the usual artifices of her sex on the stage in the matter of paint and powder, appearing almost as nature made her, rapidly graying hair and all. Jewelers Lament.

Laundry work at hoe would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually neces- sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear- ing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using De- flance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great- er strength than other makes. Offer Reward for Brigand.

Gag rule and cheap gamblers will not control and rule Republican conventions. The people demand and will have a square deal. The Republican who come from Arkansas and Texas and who are illly whites to the core can force the bulldozing Democratic tactics upon Republicans in this new state. If Hopkins can only get a nomination by bulldozing tactics it is certain that he could never be elected by such tactics and there is no question that the rule adoptable by his supporters have driven a number of good men to take a firm stand against all such damnable methods. Mr. Lanning is the loyal candidate from the 76th. District he ought to be nominated and elected because he believes in "square deal." We ask nothing more and will be satisfied with nothing else. Every Negro in the 75th District should stand against Hopkins because as we see him he is a Douglass' candidate and Douglass is against every Negro woman girl and boy and wants them to ride in Jim Crow cars.

BUILDING (IN THE REAR) ON FIRST 203 South Second St., Muskogee, Ind. Ter. The tenth annual session of the Negro Press association convened at Colorado Springs, Col., on August 20, 1906. There were a large number of attendants from the various states west of the Mississippi river and they all were enthusiastic in their work for the race in the Great West. President W. H. Duncan is an untiring worker and had everything in good condition for the reception of the visitors. He was ably seconded by the good citizens of Colorado Springs, who did all in their power to make the stay of the visitors both pleasant and jprofitable. The citizens of that splendid city, without regard to color or creed gave the visiting editors a splendid welcome. Mayor Hall handed over the keys of the city to the quill pushers and informed them if there was anything else they needed and wanted "to take it." Many of the most able and brilliant negroes of the west were in attendance at this meeting, among them were: Hon. W. N. Miller, Wichita, Kas.; Prof. F. J. Jordan, Muskogee, I. T.; Hon. Mack Childs, Topeka, Kas.; Hon. Nelson Crews, Kansas City, Mo.; Attorney W. B. Townsend, Pueblo, Col.; and many others. After the passage of suitable resolutions and an address to the people, the association elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, W. H. Duncan, Colorado Springs; vice president, F. J. Gordon, Muskogee, I. T.; corresponding secretary, W. H. Twine, Muskogee, I. T.; recording secretary, D. B. Faw, Colorado Springs, Colo.; assistant secretary, Mrs. J. M. Emboy, Colorado Springs, Colo.; treasurer, Miss E. Ridley, Guthrie, Oklahoma. .ext place of meeting Topeka, Kansas, August, 1907.

His Experience Has Shown Him How Much the Human Race Would Be Benefited by Such an Invention. — ee! oo oe) a a se ew oe fortune,” sald Mr, Snortly, “awaits the furniture manufacturer who will put on the market a bureau with drawers that won't stick, “Aw it ts, E suppose that half the bu reaus in the world have drawers that can't be opened without a struggle, that couldn't be entirely closed with out a mall and that could not then be opened without an axe, 1 have one such bureau myself—a bureau with drawers that will never close entirely; ® bureau that tries me sorely; and 1 am & man of even temper, “If bureaus of this sort affect a man of my selfeommand in this manner, what must their effeet be upon myriads of people of dispositions more excttable and explosive? See what trouble one of these sticky drawer bu reaus has brought to a friend of mine: “He was a nice man, but impulsive and somewhat given to self-indul. Kence, and he fought with himself un til one after another he had cut out all his vices except swearing, and last spring he cut that out and came forth that strongest of all men, the man whe has conquered himself, In that splen. did strength he continued until day before yesterday, when he fell, “On that day, confident of his own strength of mind, never doubting never thinking of it In fact, he had become now as he supposed so settled in his power of self-control, he tried to get a collar out of his top bureau drawer, “This drawer had stuck before, but up to that day he had always managed to open it somehow, and w! ¢ was far greater, to keep his temper in opening it; but on that day it wedged and atuck and resisted in a manner that would have tried any man and that proved, alas! too much in the end, for my friend, “Por when the drawer wouldn't come, anyway, a cloud seemed to come over his mind, and he grasped the two handles of it with his two hands and planted his foot firmly against the face of the drawer below and pushed with that while he pulled on the draw. er, vielously “The drawer did yield at last, but when that came the bureau went over under the pressure of the foot he had against it, and the heavily loaded drawer came down with its sharp back edge square on the toes of the other foot “AN the neighbors said—the win. dows being opened everywhere, as at this season so that all could hear— that they had never heard anything like it, never; and my friend has got to move, All were willing to admit, when they learned the cause, that the provocation had been great, but they won't take another chance, and my friend must go. “And all because of a sticky bureau drawer! “Bureau builders!

A dear old New England spinster, the embodiment of the timid and shrinking, passed away at Carlsbad, where she had gone for her health. Her nearest kinsman, a nephew, or- dered the body sent back to be buried —as was her last wish—in the quiet Nttle country churehyard. His sur- prise can be imagined, when, on open- ing the casket, he beheld, instead of the placid features of his Aunt Mary, the majestic port of an English gen- eral in full regimentals, whom he re- membered had chanced to die at the same time and place as his aunt. At once he cabled to the general's heirs, explaining the situation and requesting instructions. They came back as follows: “Give the general quiet fu- neral, Aunt Mary interred to-day with full military honors, six brass bands, | saluting guns.” | QUEER TRICKS OF ANIMALS. Seemed to Find Pleasure in Washing of Odds and Ends. Beckmann gives a delightful account of a coon which fsed to amuse itself by washing various odds and ends in a bucket of water. An old pot handle, a snail shell, or anything of the sort would do, But the thing he loved best of all was an empty bottle. Clasping it in his fore paws he would waddle slowly to the bucket with the bottle clasped close to his breast and then roll it and rinse it in the water. If anyone ventured to disturb him he was furt- ous and threw himself upon his back, clinging so tightly to his beloved bot- tle that he could be lifted by it. Groos says that bears will do the same sort of thing. He relates the case of a polar bear which used to roll an old iron pot to and fro in his tank, and then, lifting it out, rub it up and down in a trough of running water. He stood on his hind legs and used his fore paws exactly like a washerwoman washing clothes, RIGHT HOME, Doctor Recommends Postum from Personal Test. No one is better able to realize the injurious action of caffeine—the drug in coffee—on the heart, than the doc- tor. When the doctor himself has been relieved by simply leaving off coffee and using Postum, he can refer with full conviction to his own case. A Mo. physician prescribes Postum ‘for many of his patients because he was benefited by it. He says: “L wish to add my testimony in re- gard to that excellent preparation— Postum. I have had functional or nervous heart trouble for over 15 years, and part of the time was unable to attend to my business. . “L was a moderate user of coffee and did not think drinking it hurt me, But on stopping it and using Postum in- stead, my heart has got all right, and L ascribe it to the change from coffee to Postum, “Lam prescribing it now in cases of sickness, especially when coffee does not agree, or affects the heart, nerves or stomach, “When made right it has a much better flavor than coffee, and is a vital sustainer of the system. I shall con- tinue to recommend it to our people, and I have my own case to refer to,” Name given by Postum Co, Wattle Creek, Mich.

He looked at his watch and noted that the time of his dinner engagement was past. Then he relieved his mind in a single explosive word. "Naughty, naughty," chided a voice in his ear, "and wickedly useless." Dillingham wheeled about and the shadowy bundle perched on the fence stirred and laughed. Then the bundle shook itself and jumping to the ground inquired trenchantly, "Smashed?" "I beg your pardon," said Mr. Dillingham, lifting his cap. "I took you for a wistaria vine." "Thank you," said the girl, gravely. Then, abruptly, "Is it fun to ride in an automobile?" He hesitated. Then, "Will you step into my auto?" "'Said the spider to the fly,'" the girl finished, as she put her hand into his and stepped lightly up. Her face was indistinct in the thickening twilight, but he could see that she was tall and he liked the musical huskiness of her voice and the tilt of her head. The girl had been settling herself in silence and now she began abruptly: "It's horrid to be first when one has a date with a man. And I was five minutes late on purpose," resentfully. Dillingham, dumb with amazement, gazed at her silently. She turned suddenly and peered at him through the dusk. Then: "Oh," she cried, "I believe you're sorry you come and you think I'm horrid and silly. And if you do, why did you come and why are you so stupid—and—oh, I'm very much ashamed." Her voice faltered and Dillingham paled at the suspicion of tears in her voice. "Don't—that is—not it all. Don't mention it—" He stoped suddenly with the feeling that he was making an ass of himself. Assuredly the girl was laughing. What kind of a confoundedly puzzling woman thing was it, he demanded indignantly. "But, of course, you didn't know it was a bet," she went on, brightening up, "and that makes a difference. You know I'd have to come on a bet, don't you. I suppose you think school girls gilly things?" "Awfully," said Dillingham, with conviction. The girl beside him laughed suddenly, an odd, gurgling, low chuckle, quite the kind of a laugh he thought to accompany the prettiest voice he had ever heard. "You should be relieved that I'm only a school girl," she rebuked, mockingly. "I might be an escaped ladylunatic, you know." "Of course, you didn't have to come, because I wrote you the note," she went on, and injury had replaced tears in her tones. "And I would never have written it if Annabel Morris hadn't bet me a five-pound box of chocolates that you never even noticed me when you zipped past. If you knew Annabel—only you wouldn't want to, she's such a catty cat—but if you did, you'd know why I simply had to take that bet. And, of course, you did see me—why, you smiled three times, so I could almost count your teeth." In the gloom the girl missed the twinkle in Dillingham's eyes and he could feel her start of dismay, as he responded, grimly: "And now what am I going to do with you? Take you back to MadamWhat's-Her-Name, I suppose, and tell her how I found you straying from the fold. Perhaps you can suggest some delightful fiction for Madam that will spare both our feelings." "Why did you come, then? You needn't have," she cried, in a quick little flare of anger. She paused and added in a suddenly meek little voice, "And I'm so hungry." Dilingham smiled in silence at the forlorn tone. But 'what should he do with her? Suppose he did take her to dinner—he was hungry himself—and then a little fatherly advice—he had sisters of his own. "Well, where shall it be?" he asked, briskly, aloud. "Ye Old Inn" is here about, I fancy." "Oh, that would be lovely," she cried, and at the relieved brightness of her voice he laughed aloud. In the subdued light of the vine-covered porch, he surveyed the girl curiously. She was prettier than he had thought, with her dead white skin and black hair, and older than her school-girl chatter sounded—20, perhaps, he decided. Then as she sat down hastily and propping her chin on her hands closed her eyes, in seemingly sheer exhaustion, he hastily summoned the waiter. In a minute he was at her elbow, holding a glass of wine to her lips. She sipped a little, then took it from him, and swallowed it with a quaint grimace. The wine warmed the pallor of her skin, and when the soup came, she attacked it with dainty ravenousness. She looked at Dillingham, serene and good-looking in irreproachable evening dress, and he wondered if she would discover now that he was an impostor. But there was no suspicion in her frank eyes, but an unconcealed approval that amused him. "All this glory for a simple school girl?" she questioned, saucily "So simple you have not even told me your name," he said, gravely. "Dear me, how unfortunate I'm incognita to-night," she regretted. "However, as first aid to conversation, I will admit that I'm Mary—just plain Mary." Dillingham wondered whether anybody had ever discovered that tiny dent of a dimple near her left eye that winked at him wickedly when she laughed. "No one could ever call you 'plain Mary'" he said, absently, and started to find himself thinking aloud. "And if perchance, I might wish to address you—one never knows what may happen—what—" her dancing eyes questioned him. "For ease in conversation I'm Richard," he assured her. "Just poor Richard." "Poor Richard in an automobile," she laughed. He ordered sweets with the coffee and she munched them with the abandon of a child. Then with a sudden return to school-girl naivete, she exclaimed, as she filled her wisp of a handkerchief with almonds: "Oh, dear, I forgot that plaguey old school. And now I've got to go back. The girls will be just crazy when I tell them. And I'm going to take those to prove it. It was a lovely dinner. And you've been lovely, too." Then she added slowly, "What must you think of me!" What must he think of her. Dillingham wondered if she would be very angry if he told her all that he thought—about the flickering dent of a dimple and the sweet harshness of her voice and the tantalizing witchery of her eyes and the pointed oval of her chin—and—oh, well "But it is what you think of me that is worrying me," he finally assured her, forgetful of the fatherly advice. "I want to go home," said the girl, and at the unsteadiness of her tones Dillingham jumped up repentantly. When Dillingham returned three minutes after, the little table looked desolate with its disarray of emptied dishes. He looked about uncertainly. Where she had sat a pink coral stickpin stabbed a torn corner of the menu card to the table. He picked it up and read: "I never saw Grayham Manor. There is no Annabel Morris. You were only you—and nicer than I deserved. It was all—fiction—except that I was hungry—with no prospect of dinner to-night or breakfast to-morrow. Goodby. Plain Mary." Dillingham wondered next day and again at intervals all the succeeding week why she was hungry, and his heart stood still at the thought that she might be hungry at the moment of his thinking in some obscure corner of the city. Then one night, gloomy and morose he dropped into the Modern theater to watch the opening night of a new comedy. Listless he watched a bizarre ballet in mismatched stockings and powdered wigs come prancing on. Then his glance wandered restlessly over the audience and back again to the stage. And there—winking, disappearing, winking again, in the face of a girl at the end of the front row was a tiny dent of a dimple near the left eye—a dimple which he foolishly felt he owned by right of discovery. An hour later she walked swiftly from the stage entrance, her manner stiffly repellant, and ignoring the waiting groups of men about the door. One lifted his hat and smiled broadly at her. "Silly idiot," she murmured beneath her breath, as she escaped his hearing. "Naughty, naughty, plain Mary," a voice chided in her ear, and she wheeled suddenly, rosy from chin to forehead. Of course, in the saffron journals it was headed "Millionaire's Romance Begun at Stage Door Ends in Orange Blossoms," but Dillingham, himself, knew from the first that the stage door was really the finish. (Copyright, 1906, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) GUIDED BY THE TREES. The Indian Relies on Tall Pines to Show Him the Way. The Indians are guided by the trees more than anything else. If you look across the lake you will see that the tops of about half of the tall pine trees bend slightly toward the east, says Recreation. There is a distinct trend to the forest, always toward the east. On this the Indian relies implicitly, and it does not deceive him. Again, if an Indian, traveling in the forest, makes a loop and intersects his own trail, he knows it immediately, without seeing any footprints, because of the character of the timber. One of our party, accompanied by an Indian, Big Paul, as guide, shot a moose. Big Paul had never been in that country before, and, as it was a stormy day, without the sun to guide him, he became confused in his sense of direction and had to wander around somewhat in order to find the camp again. But on the following day he led us three miles through the forest to the carcass. He did not follow the back trail, but went apparently by instinct. I followed him with my compass. He would vary and waver in his course nearly 90 degrees, first to right and then to the left, but he went to the moose. Now and again he would point to something he remembered particularly. "Here," he would say; "is the rock where you set the compass down;" or, "This is where we were when we heard the shot." Then he would point to the ground, where to our asphalt-pavement-trained senses there wasn't anything at all to see, and make no comment, but would smile at us a little and go on. By and by he came out exactly at the moose. All I could get out of him was that he went by the trees. In addition to noticing everything else, your guide sees trails that you cannot see, and notices the bitten twigs that you do not discover have been browsed off until he points it out to you. When a twig seems to have been very freshly bitten off, he will apply his own mouth to it, and bite it off again. If he sees froth on the twigs, he makes a sign to you not to crack so many branches. A KENTUCKY WOMAN How She Gained Fifteen Pounds In Weight and Became Well by Taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Women at forty, or thereabouts, have their future in their own hands. There will be a change for the better or worse, for the better if the system is purified by such a tonic as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. D. C. Wedding, of Hartford, Ky., writes as follows concerning the difficulties which afflicted her: "I was seriously ill and was confined to my bed for six or eight months in all, during two years. I had chills, fever, rheumatism. My stomach seemed always too full, my kidneys did not act freely, my liver was inactive, my heart beat was very weak and I had dizziness or swimming in my head and nervous troubles. "I was under the treatment of several different physicians but they all failed to do me any good. After suffering for two years I learned from an Arkansas friend about the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided that I would try them. The very first box I took made me feel better and when I had taken four boxes more I was entirely well, weighed fifteen pounds more than when I began, resumed my household duties, and have since continued in the best of health. I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to many people on account of what they did for me, and I feel that I cannot praise them too strongly." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills restored Mrs. Wedding to health because they actually make new blood and when the blood is in full vigor every function of the body is restored, because the blood carries to every organ, every muscle, every nerve, the necessary nourishment. Any woman who is interested in the cure of Mrs. Wedding will want our book, "Plain Talks to Women," which is free on request. All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, or they will be sent by mail postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y.

During the last year the Audubon Society of Louisiana has rented some 17 bird breeding islands, located in the waters of the gulf. Last year the islands were watched by two wardens, whose wages were paid by the national committee of Audubon societies, and although they were not wholly able to prevent trespassing and egg stealing nevertheless the results attained were wellnigh marvellous. On their own and the neighboring islands of Breton reservation, owned by the federal government, by these simple preventive measures, there were hatched and raised all of 40,000 birds, composed of the following species: Common terns, foresters, terns, royal terns, laughing gulls, black skimmers. Country Life in America. BEES CLOSED A MINE. Swarmed in Millions and Men Were Unable to Work. There are instances in great number where mining operations were temporarily suspended by a shortage of funds or by water flooding the property, but it remained for Mohawk, a small station along the Southern Pacific, to furnish a new cause which is unique in the history of mining. The company affected owns the Red Cross mines in the Mohawk mountains. Millions of bees, attracted by the water at these mines and forced from their hives in the mountains by the drought, took possession of the water supply, and their numbers were so great that it was found impossible to drive the swarms away. Consequently the mines have been shut down until the rainy season sets in, when it is hoped the bees will return to their mountain homes.—Sacramento Bee. NEGRO DELEGATES BOLTED. Left Convention When Separate Coach Resolution Was Adopted. Ardmore, I. T. Oct. 1st. (Special.) The Republican Convention of the Twenty firs Recording District held here to day to nominate a candidate for delegate to the constitutional convention was stormy, The attitude of the white delegates on the separate coach proposition as embodied in the resolution precipitated a hot fight in which the Negro delegates bolted, after the meeting had declared in favor of a Jim Crow law, The Negro delegates though slightly in the minority made a strong fight to prevent the passage of the resolution. Rev. C. C. Welch, pastor, of the Prysbeterian church, was selected as the nominee. The resolutions adopted endorsed the administration of President Roosevelt, praised delegate Mc Bird of Gklahmna for his efforts in behalf of statehood, declared for separate schools and separate coaches, endorsed the principle of the initiative and referendum, ask congress to purchase the coal lands and that same be granted to the new state for the use of public schools; declare for a railroad commission and that railroads and corporations be subject to the laws of the state: favor the prohibition of railroad and other common carriers from owning coal mines and oil lands that the surface of segregated land mineral be sold to actual settlers, with a limit to 160 acres each. The convention refused to interfere with the question of prohibition in Oklahoma and took the position that the people should settle the matter. (Exchange) The above shows that our boys are a unit on the Jim Crow car question. TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help us achieve a great victory. JAMES S. SHERMAN, Chairman. P O.
