The Muskogee Cimeter. Vol 8 Sango and Soper ATTEMPT TO BREAK UP A REPUBLICAN MEETING AND GET FOOLED IN THEIR SCHEME At the big Republican meeting held at Old Agency last night, with over 200 men present, and three ladies, the big bluffer. Sango, attempted to break up the meeting, while the little bluffer, Soper, stood out side the house and tried to inflame the two Hopkins fellows out there to do deeds of violence. The big bluffer sat quietly in the meeting until Rev. Norris finished his speech and as Dr. Waterford was next on program the big bluffer, who evidently had his orders from his boss, sprang to his feet with eyes protruding from their sockets, screamed out: "I's gwin ter speak else nobody speaks in dis house." The chairman told Mr. Bluffer that he could not speak tonight and then the big, burly bluffer went into spasms and so frightened the ladies that they retired from the house and some of the men left also, but some remained and insisted that the burly bluffer be not allowed to speak—he did not speak; he was permitted to leave the room and then the people, all, returned and Mr. J. D. Lewis made a splendid speech in the cause of right and was followed by Dr. Waterford, who made a rousing, enthusiastic speech and was cheered by the hundreds present. The closing talk was made by W. H. Twine The antics of the Big Bluffer Sango are in keeping with the acts of the other part of the six shooter gang, who can only rule by force and violence. The poor devils can't get up a meeting of their own and they insist on coming to our meetings to speak. The people are all afraid of these bulldozers and while they fear them, they won't allow them to speak at our meetings and insult our women.—Reporter. What do you think of a cuss who will go to a wedding and attempt to inflict a political speech on the people for Hopkins? Bright cuss, ain't he? Muskogee, I. T., Friday, November, 2, 1906. Resolution Passed At Old Agency Resolution Passed At Old Agency Last Night-175 People Present. Be it Resolved, that we, the people of the 3rd Precinct of the 75th District hereby heartily endorse the candidacy of C. W. Raymond as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. We recognize in him the regular nominee of the Republican Party, he having carried 10 out of 12 of the precincts of this district and carried the Republican Convention by 46 votes to 6 votes for Hopkins. We recognize in him an ardent and true Republican, a good citizen of Muskogee, a man who has always stood for a square deal and who will be right in the Convention. We feel that the rights of the people as members of a free government are at stake. If the actions of the opposition at the Convention in trying to choke the voice of the people with deputy marshals and six shooters are to win in this contest, the Republican party and the right to a free and untrammeled expression of the people in their affairs receives a severe blow. We pledge Mr. Raymond our votes on Nov. 6th and hearty, good will. $200,000. Raymond brought $200,000 into this city when he came and paid it out to our citizens for property. It is here now. No other one man ever brought so much money here to help our city. Is it possible that our people want to drive capital away? Last year, he paid out $2,000 for paving our streets. No other single man has paid out so much for paving. Are you against that? Hopkins has never paved one foot. He brought nothing here to help our city and yet some silly people talk about Hopkins helping build Muskogee. Let's be sober and intelligent about this matter. The fellows who oppose Raymond and use such arguments are simply a lot of little politicians, whose only ambition is to tear down others. They add nothing to our town but the trouble they bring and cause. Let's tear them down. DOUGLAS HELD HIS OWN. Five or six years ago, Douglas blew into town from the U. S. jail at Ardmore, where he had been confined on a charge of murder. He came repudiated socially, politically and financially; he has held his own. Tuesday, Nov 6, 1906 EVERY MAN VOTE EARLY: 1.

Every voter who goes into the voting place must first give hisfull name. The Judge of Eelection will then give him a ticket and the clerk of election will then give him a little rubber stamp. He must then go into one of the little stalls or booths alone. There will be two pictures on this ticket which the Election Judge gives to you—One is an Eagle—One is a star. Below each of these pictures will be a little ring or circle. To vot you must put the stamp, which will be a little cross X into the middle of the ring or circle. Mr. Raymonds name will be under the star. If you desire to vote for him put the stamp or cross in the ring or circle under the tsar. By so doing you will vote the Republican ticket and also for a square deal for everybody. Don't let anybody fool you—They will try to do so on election day. Just put the stamp in the circle under the star. All our boys will do that and we will win because our course is right. When you have put the cross in the circle then fold up your ballot so no one can see how it is marked. If you should havte it marked it will be thrown away and not counted. Just fold it once. then give it to the Election Judge. who will put it in the ballot box. Then give the stamp to the Election clerk and go out. The people continue to endorse Judge Raymond in spite of the bulldozing of the gang. FOR SALE. Lot three (3) in block Ninety three, to the city of Muskogee, Indian Territory. size 100x145.

LUNCHEON DAINTIES PROPER METHOD OF PREPARING SANDWICHES. Mayonnaise Should Be Spread with an Eye to Prevent the Solling of Gloves-Oyster Roast a "Sandwiches are so mussy that I have come to refusing them entirely at teas and receptions," said a woman who had sacrificed several pairs of nice gloves to mayonnaise or creamy sandwiches. Her prejudice against these morsels of food, so inevitable an offering at any place where a half dozen people meet, would not have been so strong had the sandwiches been properly made. Where a soft filling or mayonnaise is used it should not be spread to the extreme edges of the bread. At least an eighth of an inch all round will save soiling the gloves. Rolled sandwiches are the most dainty of all, and are most frequently made without any filling more than a thin coating of butter. The bread must be less than 12 hours old, and if but barely cool it can be used. Have a sharp knife and cut it very thin. Bread that is more than half a day old is too tender and crumbly. Never let economy extend to leaving even a fragment of a crust on the bread used for sandwiches. It is easier and more saving to trim the loaf rather than the thinly sliced bread. Parisian Sandwiches-Mince some cold cooked fish fine after freeing from skin and bones; season with salt and pepper and add two hard boiled eggs chopped fine, a tablespoon of capers chopped, and enough mayonnaise to molsten. Mix well, spread between thin slices of buttered bread. Egg Sandwiches.-Boll some eggs hard and rub the yolks to a fine powder. Spread finely chopped watercresse on thin buttered bread, cover with the egg, and lay on the other half of the sandwich. For a second sort of sandwiches use the minced watercress and chopped whites of the eggs. Take white bread for these sandwiches. Oyster Roast.—To one-half cup of oyster liquor add one level teaspoon of salt, one rounding tablespoon of butter, two teaspoons of catchup, and a rounding tablespoon of chopped sweet pepper. Put in one dozen large oysters and turn into a small baking dish and set in a hot oven until the edges curl. Turn on hot buttered toast. Rocquefort Sandwiches. — Rub a rounding tablespoon of butter to a cream with a piece of Rocquefort cheese twice as large and use as a filling for whole wheat sandwiches cut thin. Pink Sandwiches.—Slice bread thin and cut in rounds with a biscuit cutter. Beat some cheese smooth and add enough currant jelly to color a pink; lay on a second round and press hard. Olive Sandwiches.—Chop one dozen stoned olives and work into a little roll of creamed cheese. Use as a filling for brown bread sandwiches. Oyster Salad.—Select large oysters and heat in their own liquor until they become plump and begin to ruffle. Drain, dust with salt and paprika and a few drops of lemon juice. Chill, and if too large cut in halves. Serve with mayonnaise in lettuce heart leaves and garnish with capers. Oyster Cocktails.—Put five small oysters in each glass and pour on a tablespoon of the following sauce: Mix two tablespoons of grated horseradish, two tablespoons of vinegar, one teaspoon of tabasco, two tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, four tablespoons of lemon juice, two tablespoons tomato catchup, and one level teaspoonful of salt. Mint Sandwiches.—Wash the sprigs of mint and dry on a piece of cheese cloth, grind or chop fine, add thick cream to make a paste. Spread between thin slices of buttered bread. DRIVEN TO GET RELIGION. Reason for Close-Fisted Man's Attendance at Church. A New Hampshire man tells of a tight-fisted man of affairs in a town of that state, who until recently had never been observed to take an interest in church matters. Suddenly, however, he became a regular attendant at Divine service, greatly to the astonishment of his fellow townsmen. "What do you think of the case of old Ketchum?" said one of the business men of the place to a friend. "Is it true that he has got religion?" "Well, hardly," replied the other, with the air of one who knows. "The fact is, it's entirely a matter of business with him. I am in a position to know that about a year ago he loaned the pastor $50, which the latter was unable to pay. So there remained nothing for Ketchum but to take it out in pew rent."—The Sunday Magazine. SAVED BABY LYON'S LIFE. Awful Sight from That Dreadful Complaint, Infantile Eczema—Mother Praleses Cuticura Remedies. "Our baby had that dreadful complaint, infantile Eczema, which afflicted him for several months, commencing at the top of his head, and at last covering his whole body. His sufferings were untold and constant misery, in fact, there was nothing we would not have done to have given him relief. We finally procured a full set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three or four days he began to show a brighter spirit and really laughed, for the first time in a year. In about ninety days he was fully recovered. Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has always been our greatest pleasure, and there is nothing too good that we could say in their favor, for they certainly saved our baby's life, for he was the most awful sight that I ever beheld, prior to the treatment of the Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1826 Appleton Ave., Parsons, Kan., July 18, 1905." Playwright's Method of Work Mr. A. W. Pinero has an unusual method of writing his plays. His work day does not begin until that of the average city man is over. In the morning he goes out, preferably on his bicycle, returning in time for early dinner. Then he has a comfortable sleep, and on waking up, late in the afternoon, he prepares for business. After a cup of tea he goes to his desk and remains working at his play until far into the night. A Good Record. Out of all the external remedies on the market we doubt if there is one that has the record of that world-renowned porous plaster—Allcock's. It has now been in use for sixty years, and still continues to be as popular as ever in doing its great work of relieving our pains and aches. It is the remedy we all need when suffering from any ache or pain resulting from taking cold or overstrain. Allcock's Plasters are sold by Druggists all over the world. Women Have Pet Snakes. A great many snakes are imported into England. There is a brisk demand for snake pets among rich ladies. It's a funny kind of pet, perhaps, but they seem to like them, and get quite fond of them. I suppose it's because ladies nowadays like the unusual. Of course, these pet snakes are all nonpoisonous.—London Morning Leader. French Export of Chalk.

Simple Precautions That Will Save Lives and Money. A set of dishes should be selected for the sick room and these should be washed by the nurse and never mixed with the dishes used by the family. The nurse should disinfect all bed and body linen used by the patient and also keep the sick room and all be- longings to it free from infection, Nothing contaminates the atmosphere more than dust and nothing creates worse air dust contamination than the spilling of foul discharges on floors, rugs and bed and body linen and allow- ing them to dry. All such foul matter should be wiped up at once with a moist disinfected cloth which should be burned. A broom is out of place in a sick room. It only scatters the dust into the air. The only safe dis- posal of the refuse from a quarantined room is cremation. The nurse in charge of a case of contagious disease should avoid direct contact with other members of the family, especially chil- dren. If needs be she must mingle with others she should have a special gown for the sick room which should be discarded with her cap on coming out and always worn in the room, and she should disinfect her hands before touching anything outside of the room. All these simple, commonplace quar- antine regulations faithfully carried out would save thousands of lives yearly among the children of the land and also greatly lessen the cost to common people for illness and funeral expenses. Nothing would pay better than for the heads of all American households to be their own health of- ficers.—Dr. Kate Lindsay, in the Housekeeper. CARE IN WASHING SWEATER. Garment Never Should Be Hung Up to Dry—Needs Much Rinsing. In washing a sweater, rub thor- oughly in warm water and soap suds, rinsing several times to get all the odor of the soap out of the wool. Be eure never to hang up a sweater to dry, as hanging ruins the shape and stretches the garment. If you can lay the sweater on the grass, do so, having first spread out a heavy towel or a sheet folded. If you must dry it on the fire escape or in a window, spread out first a newspaper and then cover that with towels or a sheet to keep the water from soaking through, and then lay the sweater on them, not stretched out, but rather in a heap. Half a day of hot sunshine will dry it, but it must be hot. Don’t try to wash a sweater on a cloudy day. Two Good Cleaning Recipes. Here ts a recipe which is efficacious for cleaning fabrics without injuring their texture or changing their color. It ig also particularly good in cleaning rugs and carpets. Grate two raw pota- toes in a bowl which contains a pint of clear, cold water. Now strain through a sieve, allowing the liquid to fall into another bow! containing an- other pint of cold water. When it settles, pour off the water into a bot- tle and keep for future use. Dip a sponge into the potato water and rub the soiled garment carefully, after which it may be washed in clear wa ter. When ivory knife handles get discol- ored dip half a lemon in salt and rub on them. Wash off immediately in warm water, and the handles will look as white as when new. To Sweeten Musty Cellar. A damp, musty cellar may be sweet- ened by sprinkling upon the floor pul- verized copperas, chloride of lime, or even common lime. The most effec- tive means ever used to disinfect de- caying vegetable matter is chloride of Mme in solution. One pound may be dissolved in two gallons of water. Plaster of paris has also been found an excellent absorbent of noxious odors. If used one part with three parts of charcoal, it will be found etl: better. HAD TO USE A CANE.

Lizzie Williams, of No. 416 Ce- dar street, Quincy, Ill., says: ‘Ever since I had nervous prostration, about thirteen years ago, Ihave had periodical spells of complete exhaustion. The doc- tor said my nerves were shattered. Any excitement or unusual activity would throw me into a state of lifelessness. At the beginning my strength would come back in a moderate time after each attack, but the period of weakness kept lengthening until at last I would lie helpless as many as three hours at a stretch. I had dizzy feelings, palpita- tion of the heart, misery after eating, hot flashes, nervous headaches, rheu- matic pains in the back and hips. The doctor did me so little good that I gave up his treatment, and really feared that ‘my caso was incurable _ “ When I began taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills my appetite grew keen, my food no longer distressed me, my nerves were quieted to a degree that I had not experienced for years and my strength returned, The fainting spells left me entirely after I had used the third box of the pills, and my friends say that I ain looking better than I bave done for the past fifteen years,”’ Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are recom- mended for diseases that come from im- poverished blood such as anwmia, rheu- matism, debility and disorders of the nerves such m@® neuralgia, nervous po tration and partial paralysis. They have cured the most stubborn indigestion. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills agree with the most delicate stomach, quiet all ner- vousness, stir up every organ to do ite proper work and give strength that lasts.

Be it resolved by the Executive Committee of the 75th constitutional delegate district in the 10th Recording District of Indian Territory, that Whereas we recognize that C. W. Raymond received 46 votes out of 52 at the recent Republican convention, to nominate a candidate to the Constitutional Convention, and that he carried all of the Precincts in said districts at the Republican caucuses except tow. Therefore, we recognize him as the regular Republican nominee and pledge him the support of said committee and we urge all Republicans to support him and this committee at the polls Nov, 6th, 1906. MORGAN, CARAWAY, Chairman. J. E. CRANE, Sec'y. L. F.FUE, Member of Committee. Remeber This. If you sell your vote you will be disfranchised for ten years. If you bet on the election you can't vote. If some one challenges your vote you must swear it in. Have two men there who know you; so that they can help you swear in. You must live in the territory 6 months before you can vote. You must live in your election precinct 30 days before you can vote. If any judge or clerk of election defrauds you of your vote or destroys your ballot the law, says he can be sent to the penitentiary for 5 years. Hopkins has ordered every man to be challenge who don't vote for him. This is done to make trouble for you. Don't take any fire arms to the polls as you can be arrested if you do. No deputy U.* S. marshal can prevent you from voting—the law will protect you. Sango's opposition to Judge Raymond is a vote-maker for Raymond among all races. Grant Victor, Phny Soper nor any one else can tell the Republicans of the 75th District who the regular nominee is. We made the nomination. We have got them beaten by 1000 votes;just keep up the fight to the end. ```markdown ``` The opposition had a lovefeast last night; they drank liquid and sang Old Kentucky home. The whites put their arms around the necks of the blacks and had a social time. The fellow who said that he could put a lightning bug on the end of a stick and run all the people out of Old Agency school was well mistaken. "Isc gwine ter speak and I ain't gwine out de winder." There was nothing the matter with the door and so it was used for exit. Stay by your guns. The future of the Republican party in this country depends upon the action of our party now. We must drive out the lily whites and their dupes if we expect a square deal in the New State. The Phoenix tells an untruth when it says: "Any Raymond men advise the Negroes that Raymond's election means Negro rule." It's only another way the lily whites have of yelling Negro domination. Sango said he would speak or no one should, and when everybody got scared of him, a boy picked up a brick and said: "I am not afraid," and immediately afterward, bluffer left. It will be almost unanimous now that Ed Jefferson, Sango and Judge Adams are leading the Hopkins forces. The opposition have agreed to send the Big Duffer and his running mate from Arkansas into the 75th District, to scare the voters. Ed Jefferson, the howling montebank from Arkansas was at the meeting, doing all he could to create dissension and riot; but Ed didn't speak, nor did he get in the front part of the house, where things were doing. Ed always saves his bacon, when things get strenuous. The Republican who votes the name under the star is a Roosevelt Republican, and the one who votes the other is a Clarence Douglas republican. Now, which are you? We know that the majority of the people are not Douglas republicans. -Is it not an outrage upon common decency, when Sango, the superintendent of a mission school, can leave that work to take care of itself, while he dashes around, bluffing and frightening the people?

Walrond & Cramer, Attorneys, GUS LUBBLES IN ERROR. Our old friend Gus Lubbles seems to be of the opinion that the consti- tutional convention will be organized to investigate the question of the employment of negroes confined here in the United States jail out on his farm, southeast of Muskogee. We have heard such talk on the streets, but such a question could not come up before the constitu- tional convention, If such is true that is a question for the department of justice. Of course no negro man confined in the United States jail here can be compelled to work on Gus Lubbles farm, for no pay dur- ing his term of confinement. That would be against the law, as it now stands, and of course Gus should not be convicted of such a charge with- out a full bearing. In any event it cannot come up before the consti- tutional convention. Be Men. Old man Gordon has a piece in his paper headed as above. We endorsy it. But why don’t Gordon follow his article? Before the convention he was for Judge Raymond. After the conven- tion he was still for Judge Raymond After that he went to Judge Ray- mond for money for his paper dur- ing the campaign. He did not get it. Did the Hopkins people see him later? It looks that way to a man ‘pot on the inside. Yes, be men. Gordon do you stand now on the Douglas platform? Have you sold your honor as well as your support? Have you sold your soul as weil as your influence? Have you sold your manhood te ‘these Douglas platform men as well 'as the columns of the Searchlight? Have you sold out your race for a few paltry dollars? | For shame. For shame. Yes, b< ‘a man Gordon, Stand for men and not for six shooters. Stand for a /man whom you yourself said was | honestly, fairly and truly nominated jat the Republican convention even ir the face of Deputy U. S. marshall ‘and six shooters. Be a man Gordon and stand fo |the man who beat Hopkins in thi | Republican convention 46 yotes to | jwotes, and fairly won the nomina ; on, | If you don't Gordon, the time wil ;soon be here when you and you: reasle will be shot down at the poll, \like dogs by the roadside if it is nec | essary so to do in order to win | | nomination or an election. | Yes, Gordon, the question is, wil |you be a man or a slave? Don’ ‘sell your manhood even if you hav | disposed ‘of a little space in you | paper. It is a question in this campaigi whether ‘men and manly method: shall win or six shooters and bull dozing tactics. | Next week Gordon you will wis! you had stood for manhood and clea conventions. Alex. Richmond and Hopkins wil desert you Gordon as soon as the’ have used you for their purposes i ** you will wont to asso ciate with men who have preserve their manhood and __ self-respect. Raymond is a true Republican— stands for and with the Roosevelt party of today. Hopkins you know you tried to disrupt and thwart the Republican party in this campaign by taking a democratic nomination at the Hinton theatre, but as soon as he saw the handwriting he went back on that nomination and said in his speech at Jonehall, “I never have run on that Greater Muskogee tick- et.” You know that is a lie, don’t you, Gordon? You heard his speech at the Hinton accepting that democratic nomination didn't you, Gordon? Yes, be a man Gordon and support a man who has always been a Re- publican, is today and his life in sures he will always continue to be. Yes, be a man, Gordon, God wants you to be, or he never would have given’ you a mind and heart. Mr. Riley of Taft introduced the resolution, endorsing Judge Raymond, which appears else- where in the paper, and the bc club with no exception rose to second the motion to a- re | Some fools who belong to the opposition are telling the story that they will steal the election, Of course, no sane person be- lieves thatthe fellows will vio late their oath and take chance of going to the pen for a candi. date.

The Congressional campaign must be based on the adn inistrative 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 subscrip- | tions of One Dollareach from Repub- licans.

Syrup of Figs has ‘ come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa- ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are iree to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent e Medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. e Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs ® always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. if any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.
