Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. "Every Voter Living in the City of Muskogee, must REGISTER before City Recorder on or before the 26th of October, or he cannot VOTE." "This is the latest Rule of the Districting Board." RAYMOND IS NOMINATED BY A VOTE OF 45 TO 5 DOUGLASS and HIS GANG OF PARTY WRECKERS MET DEFEAT. Vol 8 Promptly at 2 p. m. Tuesday, Oct. 9th Jim Huckelberry called the convention in the 75th District to order and announced that he was Team o ar Chairnan having been appointed by Tom Sanson and that he would conduct the meeting. Of course this was all wrong. Huck had finished his part when the meeting was called to order. The Republicans present proceeded to nominate and elect Hon. James Miller for Temporary Chairman and Hon. Morgan Caraway and prof B. C. Hammond Sec'y. A committee on Col. Soper showed the one spot and flew down stairs when the row began. Poor old Pliny he is as dead as h-. They have had Post Office Inspectors, inspect the Great Religious Weekly and they say we are to be denied getting thro the mails. Well we will call a spade a spade and if the Goverment stops us it will have to stop some others or get in the lily white gang. SEE! You can see the fine Itatian hand of E. E. McDaniel in the backing down of the lily whites in the So McAlester District when the resolutions came in standing for a "Square Deal" thats all that any man can ask and he who accepts less is a craven coward and should be condemned by all decent people. Muskogee, I. T., Friday, October, 12 1906. credentials was appointed—A. V. Jones, W. H. Davidson and Morgan Crraway. The committee on credentials made their report which was adopted. After this the Temporaay organization was made permanent. After adoption of Resolutions which appear elsewhere in this paper, the convention then nominated Judge C. W. Raymond as candidate for delegate to the constitutional convention from 75th district. Judge Raymond was notified and in a neat speech accepted the nomination. Tom Owen is the smooth Duck in the Democrat outfit and has been selected to fool the Negroes in the 76th for Haskell and in the 75th for Hopkins. Its a herculean task Tom and we don't believe you can do it. We think you will meet the waterloo of last Spring. Thats our guess, Watch and See. Huckelberry said to us that we the white folks of the town hold you (referring to Twine) and Dr. Waterford, responsible for any trouble that occurs here today and a big Negro from Arkansas said what in the hotelbill does he mean when he says WE and now we wonder what did both of them mean? The lily whites are now trying to get affidavits from dele- gates that they voted different from what they voted. They are desperate" But the mills of the Gods grind slowly, yet they grind exceedingly fine" There is no power on earth, in heaven, or h---- that can change the conditions as they were. Douglas cant see when one of our boys is nominated. See District 70. Archer is reported as saying that Hon. P. B. Hudson cant write ten lines correctly. Well Hudson is a better scholar any day in the week than Archer. We wear no man's collar We are Republicans to the back bone and partisan to the core. Douglas did not support the Republican ticket a year ago and of course will not do so now. The fellows who thought they could buy Negro delegates were mistaken, they may have thrown away some cash thinking they had secured some votes but when the time came the cuss was absent and could not deliver the goods, "Fool and his money soon parted" Its reported that Dr. Sims. Morris and Sango et al say that they are for Judge Raymond, but hate Twine. Poor Damphools Twine is not a candidate for anything, and as we see it they simply use the excuse to hide their real treachery to the party and people. Turk of Checotah got the nomination and stood pat against Jim Crow Cars. He announced at Rentiesville his position on the subject and we are now for Turk. Douglas says he could skin us in the 3rd Ward and he has not attended a convention since A few more such victories and the colonel is undone. Jim Miller should be called Napoleon, because like the No 4 Great General his soldiers would accept no leader until he returned and when the gallant little Corporal returned he was again placed upon a pedestal to await the Deputy U. S. marshall to arrest him he made thousand friends by his grit. Our Territorial committee as a whole is a farce a joke (we have a few good men on it only a few) they make rules one day and reverse them the next. It will be a great relief when we get statehood and get rid of some of those barnacles. Some of them have not sense enough to wad a shot gun. Its no wonder the Okiahoma fellows refused to amalgamate Captain Ayers got in the game at the proper time and there was not a Deputy United States marshall fool enough to draw a gun on him. nor did they insult Mr. Fore nor the old soldier W. H. Davidson, Judge Adams and captain Estes stood like old soldiers against the mob, It was a great convention. They said they would kill us if we attended the convention Well we are a pretty lively corpse and every body knows we were there, even Jim Huckelberry, who tried to work a bluff and Colonel Soper who fled, when the noise started yelling for the marshall and chief to come and save some worthless carcass. Even Harry Davis left his District and came down in the 75th to help push and the Recorder was with the enemy but with all this stupendous assistance the gang fell down miserably and met a most disastrous defeat "Poor old Gang." Hopkins has the Popocratic and Democratic endorsement but not the Republican nomination, and [the boys in the trenches know that their duty lies against this outfit and they will do their duty faithfully and well.

NERVOUS DEBILITY NERVOUS DEBILITY A Scranton Woman Tells How Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Made Her Well and Strong. Nervous debility is the common name for what the doctors term neurasthenia. It is characterized by mental depression, fits of the "blues," or melancholy, loss of energy and spirits. The patient's eyes become dull, the pink fades from the cheeks, the memory becomes defective so that it is difficult to recall dates and names at will. Some of these symptoms only may be present or all of them. The remedy lies in toning up the nervous system and there is no medicine-better adapted for this purpose than Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. Jane J. Davies, of No. 314 Warren street, Scranton, Pa., says: "Some years ago I became greatly reduced in health and strength and my nervous system became so debilitated that I felt wretched. I could not rest or sleep well at night and woke up as weary and languid in the morning as I was when I went to bed. My head ached in the morning and often there was a pain in my right side which was worse when I sat down. My nerves were on edge all the time, every little noise bothered me and I was generally miserable. Then I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, as my husband had taken them with good results, and they did wonders for me. Now I have no more pain in my side, no more headaches, I sleep well and feel strong and able to do my work." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured Mrs. Davies and they can do just as much for other weak, pale, ailing men or women who are slipping into a hopeless decline. They strike straight at the root of all common diseases caused by poor and impoverished blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y. Uruguay's Financial Condition. Uruguay reduced her national debt by $1,570,450 during 1905. The total debt on January 1, 1906, was $121,455,-747, of which about 80 per cent, was external. Uruguay is a prosperous country, and in her prosperity is a good customer of the United States. Exports of merchandise from this country to Uruguay for the nine months ending March 31, 1906, amounted to $2,172,276, against $1,200,-542 in the same period of the previous year. Many Good-One Best. "So many Oils and Liniments are advertised it is hard to decide which to buy. I tried a number before using Hunt's Lightning Oil. After using it once, however, I realized I had found the best there was, and it was useless to look further. If it fails it's 'all off.' No other liniment will hit the spot if Hunt's Lightning Oil fails." C. G. Young, Okeene, O. T. Remarkable Double Wedding. A remarkable double wedding has been celebrated in a Viennese church. A manufacturer named Muller married a widow, while at the same time his son married the widow's daughter. Thus the father becomes the father-in-law of his own son, and the mother also the mother-in-law of her daughter. 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. There was a time when the obese woman was the light of other days. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. New Use for Gramophone. Drilling native Malay levies by word of command emitted from a gramophone is the latest instance of modern ingenuity.

Folk-songs of the Pygmies were recently procured, and a machine has been dispatched to Lapland for the purpose, if possible, of procuring Eskimo folk songs. $100 Reward. $100.

Hall's Catarrch Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrch being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrch Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

T.—Tams Bixby, chairman of the redistricting board, and W. H. H. Clayton and Judge Gill, of Vinita, met last week with about forty-five of the fifty-five commissioners appointed for the various delegate districts in Indian Terrimeeting was to settle questions concerning the election laws which will govern the election of delegates to the constitutional convention. Among these was the question as to whether or not a man will have to be a resident of a certain precinct for thirty days prior to the election in order to cast a vote. The districting board holds that the Oklahoma law, on which the question was raised, does not apply in Indian Territory, and that the statehood bill makes this point clear. The bill states that every male resident in the territory over 21 years of age who has resided in the Territory for six months prior to the first election shall be entitled to cast a ballot. It was agreed some time ago that, as the delegate districts were chosen with an approximate equality of population in each, that each district should be divided into about twelve precincts, with about 200 voters to the precinct. The discussion today developed the fact, however, that in some cases it will be necessary to establish as high as fourteen precincts in a district, and in others as few as ten. This is occasioned largely by the fact that some of the precincts are sparsely populated, and in one instance in the Choctaw nation, the voters would have to travel eighteen miles to cast a ballot. Voters in Indian Territory will not be required to register in Oklahoma, and the fact that a man has been a resident of what is now Oklahoma for the past six months will give him the privilege to vote in Indian Territory, as the whole will be one state, governed by the same laws. Big Pasture Townsites Disappearing Lawton, O. T.—A commission comprising Superintendent J. W. Haddon of the Lawton Indian schools, P.

It was the intention of the department at first lay o tusix townsites, but as time passes the number is diminished until now there are but two. They are located near the center of the Big Pasture and southwest of Lawton. Third Trial an Acquittal. Muskogee, I.

Winston Churchill in an address that he made in Concord recently praised the New Hampshire farmer. "Ours," he said, "is a state fitted above all others for a summer resort. New Hampshire, with its superb climate, its mountains, its lakes and forests, will in a generation or two be one great pleasure ground—a vast park, dotted with beautiful villas, to which will come each summer families from all parts of America. "In anticipation of this many farmers are learning to conduct hotels. They are building cottages for summer visitors. Some of them, too, are taking boarders. "And I am glad to say that the New Hampshire farmer is in a position to take boarders, because, unlike the farmers in other states that I could name, he does not send all his good things to the city. I once boarded at a fine big farm, but the fare was wretched—canned vegetables, condensed milk and so on. "By Jove,' I said one morning at breakfast, as I pushed my egg cup from me, 'these eggs are really not as fresh as those I get in New York.' My farmer host sported My farmer host snorted. "That's rank prejudice on your part, Mr. Churchill,' he said. 'It's from New York that all our eggs come.'" LOOSE TEETH Made Sound by Eating Grape-Nuts. Proper food nourishes every part of the body, because Nature selects the different materials from the food we eat, to build bone, nerve, brain, muscle, teeth, etc. All we need is to eat the right kind of food slowly, chewing it well—our digestive organs take it up into the blood and the blood carries it all through the body, to every little nook and corner. If some one would ask you, "Is Grape-Nuts good for loose teeth?" you'd probably say, "No, I don't see how it could be." But a woman in Ontario writes: "For the past two years I have used Grape-Nuts Food with most excellent results. It seems to take the place of medicine in many ways, builds up the nerves and restores the health generally. "A little Grape-Nuts taken before retiring soothes my nerves and gives sound sleep." (Because it relieve irritability of the stomach nerves, being a predigested food.) "Before I used Grape-Nuts my teeth were loose in the gums. They were so bad I was afraid they would some day all fall out. Since I have used Grape-Nuts I have not been bothered any more with loose teeth. "All desire for pastry has disappeared and I have gained in health, weight and happiness since I began to use Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

WHO SHE WAS And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and How the "Panic of'73" Caused it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores. Defiance Starch—Never sticks to the iron—no blotches—no blisters, makes ironing easy and does not injure the goods. People with real troubles never advertise them. WHO SH SKETCH OF THE LIFE And a True Story of How Had Its Birth and How it to be Offered for Pu This remarkable woman, whose maiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass., February, 9th, 1819, coming from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and became known as a woman of an alert Yours for Health Lydia E. Pinkham and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympathetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies—calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and experience many of them gained a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvest-fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medicines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combination of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pinkham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. All this so far was done freely, without money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to --- Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the noted American clubwoman, has been received abroad by royalty, and some of the foreign papers have the temerity to declare that she has a proverbial right to look at a king. HE WAS OF LYDIA E. PINKHAM the Vegetable Compound the "Panic of '73" Caused public Sale in Drug Stores. restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came the question of selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medicine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and the demand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the family had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until today Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound have become household words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture. Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward years ago, but not till she had provided means for continuing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. During her long and eventful experience she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful to preserve a record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice—and there were thousands—received careful study, and the details, including symptoms, treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and represent a vast collaboration of information regarding the treatment of woman'sills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in the world. With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was carefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast correspondence. To her hands naturally fell the direction of the work when its originator passed away. For nearly twenty-five years she has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up. With woman assistants, some as capable as herself, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work, and probably from the office of no other person have so many women been advised how to regain health. Sick women, this advice is "Yours for Health" freely given if you only write to ask for it. Such is the history of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; made from simple roots and herbs; the one great medicine for women's ailments, and the fitting monument to the noble woman whose name it bears.

If the Districting Board stays by the bolters and Popocrats then they put a premium on party treachery and sound the death knell to Republican success in this country. We met the enemy and he is ours, bag and bagage. The boys in the trenches and the boys from the forks of the road and the head of the creek did the business in fine shape. R. H. Morris the knight of the green cloth and Dr. W. H. Sims, [the Dr. who left from Oklahoma because he was not a graduate from a medical school and some other reasons] could not and do not represent the Republicans of the 12 District. Huckelberry and his gang are the bolters and are the fellows who are trying to disrupt the Republican party. Soper and Tom Owens are helping Huck but cant save his face. The Democrats in the 75th District met and fussed over Hopkins and adjourned. What a splendid organization they have. How can they ever hope to win victories by throwing down themselves before a Non-Partisan. The lily whites and their tools among the Negroes tried to run rough shod over the STALWART REPUBLICANS White Black and Red, but it would not go, The Republican party nominated ticket in the 75th District that will be elected and Judge C. W. Raymond is the nominee and will be elected as every loyal Republican and decent citizen will vote for him. Every Negro and every white Republican who wants a square deal in the 75th District will vote vote against the Douglas candidate the non partisan candidate, the candidate of the opposition to a square deal in Republican politics whose name is Hopkkins. But few people can understand the temptations that the average delegates must undergo In the recent convention they were offered various sums of money [so report says] ranging from $50.00 up, by different persons and yet many of them refused, some of them took the change and then refused to deliver the goods. Now who is the wrong doer? The Popocrats say that the way to make the Negro stand for them is to call him a bolter. Well, we would rather be called bolter than lily white when to be called bolter is a blamed lie. We are not and cannot truthfully be called bolters. The great number of white Republicans who are with us are not bolters and all of us will stand "pat" against the bolter. See. To go before the people as a Douglas' candidate means that defeat stares a man in the face, no wonder Hopkins and Allen cussed Douglas at the old agency rally, they are trying to be saved from their friend. Hon. P. B. J. Hudson, is the nominee of the Republican party in the 70th. District. He was nominated on the 7th ballot and then it was made unanimous, Hudson, is an able man and will be elected and will have the support of Orcut, Hensley and Morris his opponents in the convention. He can call on this outfit for work. Hopkins will be the worst beaten man that ever ran for an office. His Democrat affiliation is shown by the Democrats refusing to nominate and tacitly endorse him. We know what it means and every Republican knows that Hopkins is running on the non partisan platform. When the Big Burly who went from Bank President to the High Cheif of Liftum Dungi says he is not opposed to the Republican Candidate, but does his dirty work because of his enmity to the editor of this paper, he should stop and tell the truth just once and say it is because I want to hold my present job etc. Some fellows say that Jndge Gill andl Clayton will help Bixby save Hopkins. Well we we dont think any one of the three will attempt to violate their oath to do this, and in reply some say. well Bixby dominates the Board we dont think he does or tries too, but then results will show what is being done. Ed Merritt the fellow who arrogated to himaelf the position of Temporary chairman in the 12th District is a fair sample of what we know of the bulldozing lily white Republicans and our folks are against him and h's ilk forever. Deputy United States Marshalls drove Negroes out of the hall on the 4th and stood at the doors of various precincts on the same day for the same reason we believe to intimidate voters. but on the 9th though they were present armed with 45 colts they could not stem the tide against Hopkins or stop our boys from standing by Miller and demanding and taking a "square deal." Judge Raymond has been called by the Republicans of the 75th District to lead them to victory and no matter how he may feel about it he cannot as a Republican refuse to obey the request of the party and as a stalwart Republican he will not refuse to lead the fight against the enemys of Republicanism, when the Party demands that he lead. The Black Phalanx of the Republican Party are as loyal to the Party as the needle is to the Pole, when the leaders stay by the principles of the Party, but when a few cusses like Douglass and the traitors at Ardmore and Atoka get in their work then our boys walk out. Call it bolting if you will, but it is not bolting but showing manhood. The Democrats are using every means in their power to elect Haskell and Hopkins and we of the Republican faith are for straight goods, that is for Republican nominees only The Democrats can only win by getting the lily whites land fooling the Negroes, they can have the lily whites but cant fool our boys. only Morris and Sims and they dont weigh much. The convention on the 9th showed who were loyal and who were not. The gang got a few disloyal Negroes and a few lily whites and proceeded to declare a ticket nominated, but the real Stalwart Republicanss nominated a ticket that will be elected and one that every Republican Black White Red or any other color can support and not be ashamed. 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.

The threatened extermination of all beautiful birds in this country in order to satisfy the demands for ornamental millinery has led to the enactment in several states of greatly needed laws for the protection of wild birds. Commissioner Whipple, of the New York state forest, fish and game department, has recently served notice through the press to the williners of the state, retail and wholesale, that his department intends to use every legitimate means to enforce the law prohibiting the possession or sale of the bodies or feathers of wild birds, whether taken in this state or elsewhere. The penalty for each violation of the law is $60 fine, and an additional $25 for each bird, or part thereof, sold, offered for sale, or possessed. This law seems to be sweeping enough to constitute an efficacious remedy so far as the state of New York is concerned. All the added beauty that can be given to the creations of milliners for the adornment of ladies is not enough, remarks the Case and Comment, to compensate a civilized people for the infinite loss to the everyday life of many millions of people, if the beautiful plumage and graceful flight of the birds should disappear, and their twitter and song be silenced. States which have no such laws may well adopt them, and all that have them should secure their enforcement. Something of the importance of the American tourist trade may be gathered from the statement sent out from London that the steamship fares paid by Americans landing in England in one week amounted to $5,000,000. And that is but one item of expenditure. Americans are liberal spenders, and the amount paid out for hotel bills, transportation and in a multitude of other ways, to say nothing of the inescapable tip, carries the total far up into the millions. It is easily believable that there are sections of Europe where the residents practically live on American tourists. And the foreign-owned steamship lines get their richest patronage from the same source. The money taken abroad in these ways goes far toward offsetting the big balance of trade in our favor which represents the excess of our exports over imports. The W. C. T. U. of Los Angeles is after the peek-a-boo waist and by intemperate criticism is making the wearers lose in mental anguish all that they gain in creature comfort by wearing the light and airy creations above quoted. Up in this region, which go by the suggestive name where it is not necessary to wear garments with ventilators to escape sweltering to death, people think there is a great deal of unnecessary pother over the "peek-a-boo," and if asked for an opinion they would be inclined to say that the censure directed against it is about as rational as the demand that piano legs should be draped with trousers. The human body, remarks the San Francisco Chronicle, is not such a contaminating thing that it may not be gazed at without disaster to the gazer and the person gazed at: Dr. L. O. Howard, the government entomologist, suggests that a little oil of citronella placed on a towel hung in the rom or porch will keep the mosquitoes away. It will. And it keeps human beings away, too.

DRAWS LINE AT CIGARETTES. St. Louis.—Miss Alice M. Robertson, postmistress at Muskogee, I. T., better known as the historian of the Rough Riders, and a friend of President Roosevelt, is being lionized at the convention of postmasters, in session here at the Jefferson hotel. President Mills has made her a member o fevery committee. She takes great interest in the proceedings and occasionally makes a suggestion. Miss Roberts is an expert with the lasso but modestly refrains from telling of her accomplishments. She says the male members of the convention may smoke all the cigars they wish to, but objects to cigarettes. Arrangements are being made for a new town in the Glenn oil fields, five miles from Mounds. --- Catherine Heath, Albion. Belle Eaton, Ada. John M. Morrison, Atoka. Jeff Young, Quinton. Thompson J.

T.—The first opium den ever known to operate in this city has been raided and the first Chinaman to be imprisoned in the federal jail at this place is awaiting the outcome of his venture in "hop." The den was found on North Main street and when Chief of Police Kimsey entered he found himself looking at the business end of a large revolver. He selzed the gun, wrenched it from the frightened Chinaman, who took to his heels. Wong Ben, the alleged proprietor, proved a poor racer, however, and was soon captured. A search of the joint disclosed three cans of opium, 25 bowls and fifty "pills" already rolled. Wynnewood will have water and light plants in full operation the coming week. Muskogee, I. T.—It is probable that a conflict of authority between the tribal authorities and the government at the Emahaka academy, in the Seminole nation, will be settled this month by the removal of the superintendent, Mrs. Davis, who was appointed by the tribal government. It is understood that the superintendent of the Indian schools here has received instructions to that effect, although the supervisor of the schools will not commit himself as to the contents of the order. The original treaty with the government provided that the schools be turned over to the secretary of the interior by the tribal government on March 4, 1906. On March 2 of that year, however, a resolution was adopted by congress extending the tribal governments in the five nations until some necessary work could be completed, such as the signing of deeds, etc. The Seminole authorities claimed that this extended their right and control of the schools. An opinion was obtained from the attorney general, holding that the secretary of the interior was entitled to control the schools under the treaty. Then the conflict arose. The superintendent of the school is a sister of Governor G. F. Brown, of the Seminole nation, and Stanton Brown, another brother, is superintendent of the schools of that nation. Jackson Brown, a third brother, is treasurer of the tribal government. The officers of the tribal government contend that they are entitled to continue the management of the schools and a trip to the school made by Superintendent Falwell a few days ago failed to settle the conflict. The department at Washington was again called on as to what course to pursue, and it is understood that the department advises the removal of the superintendent and those in charge of the school and the appointment of a new superintendent and instructors. The government now controls all of the government schools in Indian Territory, making contracts with the superintendents, who operate and control the schools. No difficulty has been experienced under the new plan except in the Seminole nation, and all of the schools in the five nations are in session. The Mekusukey school was opened this year by the tribal government of the Seminole nation, but a contract made by the government with the superintendent at the same figure that he was managing the school. The only difficulty arose with the Emahaka academy. The government shows a determination to assert its authority in the Seminole nation, declaring that the tribal authority no longer exists. Was Entitled to the Mortgage. Muskogee, I. T.—The case against Lynn W. Culp, an attorney, who was recently arrested charged with improperly securing a mortgage, has been dismissed. It was shown by the evidence introduced that the court costs in the case amounted to $150,00 and that he was entitled to take the mortgage as security. Tulsa Makes Good Offer. Tulsa, I. T.-Tulsa will go before the board of directors of the Christian church, who meet in Guthrie Monday, with a proposition from the Commercial club to furnish the church 20 acres of desirable land and $75,000 in cvash for the establishment of the Christian college in this city. What He Most Wished For. John Fiske, the American historian, was an ardent lover of music and himself no mean musician. Furthermore, he was extremely corpulent and felt the hot weather painfully. He was once delivering a course of lectures at a summer school in a small city of the middle west. The heat was terrific and adjoining the house where the lecturer stayed was a church where an ill-matched but zealous "quartet" practiced and performed during all hours of the torrid afternoons and evenings. One evening, seeing the famous man sit for a time unoccupied and apparently oppressed by this combined affliction, the young daughter of his hostess attempted to divert him by offering him a new novel, then just becoming popular. "I think 'The Choir Invisible' is perfectly splendid, Mr. Fiske,' said she. "Would'n you like to read it?" The historian put the book aside. "My dear young lady," said he, "the only choir in the world in which I could feel any interest at this moment would be the choir inaudible." TIRED BACKS. The kidneys have a great work to do in keeping the blood pure. When they get out of order it causes backache, headaches, dizziness, language and distressing urinary troubles. Keep the kidneys well and all these sufferings will be saved you. Mrs. S. A. Moore, proprietor of a res- 1 taurant at Waterville, Mo., says: "Before using Doan's Kidney Pills I suffered everything from kidney troubles for a year and a half. I had pain in the back and head, and almost continuous in the loins and felt weary all the time. A few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills brought great relief, and I kept on taking them until in a short time I was cured. I think Doan's Kidney Pills are wonderful."

The peasants eat them with bread that has oftentimes been rubbed with garlic. The hygienic effects are considered good, replacing meat to a large extent. These nuts are also used to make oil. It is much cheaper and similar in taste to that pressed from olives, and is employed to adulterate the latter. The prisoners in certain prisons are engaged in cracking walnuts and picking out the kernels, which are pressed into oil. The recent remarkable discovery of a quick, easy way of making and using a new germicidal gas, gives to sufferers from catarrh, hay fever, and all throat and lung diseases a very certain cure.

With Irritating Skin Humor—Hair Began to Fall Out—Wonderful Result from Cuticura Remedies. "About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch. I did not take much notice of it at first, but it began to get worse all the time, and then I began to get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for skin humors; but I became worse all the time. My hair began to fall out and my scalp itched all the time. Especially at night, just as soon as I would get in bed and get warm, my whole body would begin to itch and my finger nails would keep it irritated, and it was not long before I could not rest night or day. A friend asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and I did, and the first application helped me wonderfully. For about four weeks I would take a hot bath every night and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to my whole body; and I kept getting better, and by the time I used four boxes of Cuticura I was entirely cured, and my hair stopped falling out. D. E. Blankenship, 319 N. Del. St., Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 27, 1905." Not What He Was Used To. Ever since John D. Rockefeller became an honorary member of the American Press Humorists' association stories more or less apocryphal have been afloat regarding him. It is beginning to be suspected that some of them have been invented by his fellow humorists. One of the latest refers to an occasion last summer when he entertained a lot of slum children at his stock farm near Cleveland. Mr. Rockefeller gave each of them, among other things, some milk to drink, part of it at least being the product of a $2,000 prize cow. "How do you like it?" he asked when they had finished. "Gee, it's fine!" responded one little fellow, who added after a thoughtful pause: "I wisht our milkman kep' a cow!" Not "Just as Good"—It's the Best. Eczema, Tetter, Ringworm and all similar troubles are relieved by one application; cured by one box. Chandler's Joke on Conkling. Roscoe Conkling was a capital boxer and quite proud of his skill. One evening after considerable banter he induced Senator Chandler to "put on the gloves" with him. He played with Chandler for a few rounds, much to the discomfiture of the downeaster. The latter bided his time and some time later quietly brought a professional pugilist to dinner where Conkling was a guest. In the course of the evening "Mr. Smith" was induced to engage in a boxing bout with Mr. Conkling. The professional danced around the senator, landing when and where he wished, playing with him as he would with a punching bag. The elegant New York senator was dazed, overwhelmed, humiliated, crushed. When he surrendered and called enough, as he did at last, Senator Chandler smiled blandly and presented the pugilist in his true colors.

Report Seeing Pure White Rook. Haymakers at work on a farm at Little Burstead, Essex, England, have recently seen a pure white rook among a number of black ones. Somehow it doesn't sound just right when a spinster asks for a match. --- W. L.

LEWIS' SINGLE BINDER STRAIGHT 5 CIGAR You Pay 10c. for Cigars Not so Good. F.P.LEWIS Peoria, Ill A lily white said to a colored delegate "If you nominate Raymond and elect him he shant go." Does this mean assassination? We know it has been done, and we warn Judge Raymond to be on his guard. any coward can shoot a man in the back; and we know a certain gambler has been told to perform the act on us, but we warn Mr. Gambler, that should he succeed some of our boys will get him. We are proud of the loyality of our boys in the glorious fight and the grafter and gamblers can look out for the finish. It will be grand and glorious. The SHAKS political PIRATES and theives will have no part in the victory, they have been given quarters with the enemy. The lily white gang are trying to get the Negroes who were delegates to the convention to make false affidavits. No Negro will be fooled by this gang or sign any a. or that may turn up later as an affidavit for something that they know nothing of. C. J. Jones, received the majority of the votes in the 76th District, if this is true then he is the nominee of the party and should and will receive every true Republican vote in the District. We await correct information, but say here and now we are for the nominees of the party and will do all in our power to help elect him. If we are not mistaken it looks like Jones. We stood all the time for the nominees of the Republican party. Down in the 75th we know that C. W. Raymond was nominated by the Republican party, and we are for HIM and the boys in the treches are for HIM and the boys at the forks of the road are for HIM. He cant fail of election, and all the machinationf of the ring cant defeat him. At the Democrat caucus in the 75th District some of the Dummies wanted to keep up their organization and select a ticket but it is said the Tom Owens the partner of Soper and Huck said "we must not nominate a man against so good a friend as Hopkins. I am against nigger domination and the niggers can elect a man over all white fokes in this District. Well Tom if you had said your prayers we would have been surprised but not at your declaration. Our fellows stay to a finish they die in the ditch, the pooltroons and cowards get in the other camp at first opportunity. We would rather meet defeat if we must, by standing by our guns and go down with our colors flying. God hates a coward and we say d—a coward any way. Again we reiterate we are not a leader and have no desire for it and we request our erstwhile friend Sago to look his laurel in his home District because Jones has skinned him to a Queens Taste while he was away hunting some one to slay in the 75th. We tip our hat to Jones, you killed the Samson and only used a very little rock to accomplish the deed. Jones was nominated in the 76th District in spite of the avoirdupois and brilliant leadership of Sango, The lily whites expected much from the heavy weight but the balances showed him wanting. While he was fighting for leadership and claiming that we were after it, the man in his own district got it while the big leader was chasing a "butterfly" Douglas and his platform beat Hopkins for nomination and the same agency will beat him at the polls. The gang says they own the Districting Board and that their candidate will get on the ticket, as the regular nominee. Now we cant believe that Judge Gill, Judge Clayton and Bixby will stand for this but if they do we say that the gang will get the d—est beat ing they ever had anyhow. RETURN OF THE FAVORITES. A. G. Allen's New Orleans Minstrels who were here last season and gave such general satisfaction that many who witnessed their performance at the time are still sounding their praise and claim it was by far the bestminstrel performance seen here in years. The company is billed to appear in Muskogee, Oct. 13th. Many new features have been added and the performance is said to be fully up to and even better than the high standard of excellence set by them when here last season. The seating arrangements of the tent have been re arranged and every care has been taken for the comfort and convenience of the patrons, so that they can enjoy a firstclass minstrel performance under canvas and at a price of ad mission much less than what is usually charged by minstrel shows in the opera house.
