Distressing indeed is the information coming from a reliable source that Clarence B. Douglas has sold his Muskogee Phoenix, and that to Democratic capitalists. This extermination of Douglas from the footlights of Indian Territory causes pain among his fellow servants of the press. Douglas is a unique cuss. He is a newspaper man pure and simple. He is the possessor of a vocabulary that burn. He owns an asbestos factory outright. When he speaks he speaks with the English language, he seems to have a copyright on adjectives. His enmity is dreaded, his friendship cherished. But the sad chapter in his life is just presented. He has sold his position in the spot light, hi power in politics, his hard earned title as a journalist—as the Phoenix, for a mere speck of filthy lucre. Money is his god, his traducer. Upon this newly made mound let the Capital now predict. It is not the smell of treachery, but a hope founded upon some inside information. The day is not far distant when the imperial goatee that has distinguished the Muskogee Phoenix will find its companion piece. It will not be surmounted by the complexion of the caucasion, but by the copper colored features of the Chinaman--Douglas is slated to become consul to China. This information may create a smile, but it is based upon inside information that can not be discredited. Our own Clarence B. Douglas is to wear the coat of arms of an American minister. He is to be condemned to life service among the chop sticks and dragons. The appointment has been considered at the white house. This is semi-official. No news will be received with greater interest among the republican politicians than this announcement that Douglas is to be exiled to alien shores. The seekers of senatorial ermine will rejoice. The corrupt in politics will be dimpled with delight. Douglas is to leave the territory. The most proficient word painter of a commonwealth's greatness is to be removed. It is with sadness that this farewell is penned, for Douglas is a power despite his vanity, his goatee and his senatorial apirations. May the Phoenix live as a democratic organ with the full light of popularity it has attained under Clarence B. Douglas.—The McAleser Daily Capital. Old Man Gordon admitted last night that he knew the Republican candidates were in favor of Jim Crowism, but that they wanted the burden put on the Democrats. What kind of a cuss is Jaybird to support these fellows knowing what they intended doing. A traitor and nothing more. A Mississippi Election. No election in Mississippi, Alabama or Georgia was ever more outrageous than the one just over in Muskogee. And yet the Republican executive committee, with the federal officers here, sanctioned it all. Even Bixby, the sworn commissioner, sat by and winked at the outrage. But then he wanted the clerk of his bank, Hopkins, to get a place so the land matters of the bank could be protected. Legal Voters Disfranchised. No more flagrant outrage was ever perpetrated at an election than was enacted in the 76th district in the northern part of Muskogee on last Tuesday. The judges of election were told not to swear the men to affidavits when they had been challenged. It was a gross violation of law and the official oath of each judge when he refused to swear any man to his affidavit. The last clause of Section 8 of the Compendium of Election Laws issued by the districting board shows plainly that it was the duty of the judges to swear each man. The law does not require a man to go out and hunt up a notary public when his vote has been challenged, but requires the judges to swear him. Every judge who refused to administer the oath to a challenged man was guilty of perjury. The hard part of this is: Soper, as Republican national committeeman, had his law partner, Tom Owen call all the judges of election into his office and direct them not to swear in those challenged. He then directed them to have every colored man challenged and pushed out of the polling place. Victor, the chairman of the Republican executive committee, and Archer, the secretary, approved of this nefarious plan and then called themselves Republicans. No wonder we lost the new state. Such base treason to party by these officials should drive them out of place forever. Sango Voted and Worked to Ride in a Jim Crow Car. The spectacle of Sango cheering for Haskell was one of the wonders of the times. He pretends to be an intelligent man, having the hopes and aspirations of his race at heart, and yet he declared himself for Haskell. Haskell is an uncompromising Democrat and if he had the power would put every colored man back into slavery and disfranchise him forever. Douglas Platform. It would seem from the election returns that the Democrats had adopted the Douglas platform, and with those who believe in being Republicans for revenue only and for office only had captured the constitutional convention. Jim Crow will now in all probability follow. Sanson Candidate for Judge. Tom Sanson began the conspiracy by ordering Jim Huckleberry to act as chairman of the convention in the 75th, and the man Robertson to act as chairman in the 76th, even if the people did not want them, and to use the six-shooter if necessary. Tom is a candidate for circuit judge. "Tom, the 2000 men you disfranchised will make you look like 5 cents when they get at you." Alex Richmond for Recorder. Poor Alex Richmond rode in a carriage last Wednesday night in a Democratic parade, where they sang "Hip! Hip! Hurrah!! for Jim Crow Cars." This will be Alex's campaign song when he comes out for recorder next spring. By the way, Alex, do you think the Democrats will stand by you? If they don't where will you be at? Phoenix Sold to Democrats. Clarence B. Douglas last week sold the Phoenix (alleged to be a Republican paper) to the Democrats Dr. Fite, R. L. Owen, P. C. West, Mr. Momyer and others were the purchasers. They paid $12,000 down No 8 and promised to pay the balance this week. They have now got into a blistering row among themselves over the matter. Owen swears he was deceived, fooled, cheated, robbed, thrown down and swindled, and refuses now to lay down his $5000. The Democrats wanted to continue the Phoenix as a Democratic morning paper but the thing now hangs in the air. Douglas refuses to take back the old thing and the Democrats claim they have found out it is but a shell and a sham and don't want to pay the balance. They have offered Douglas the editorship of the Phoenix and let it run as a Democratic paper and are now trying to get together that way. One of the most prominent in the deal said to Douglas, "You know I am a bitter Democrat, but since you came out on the Douglas platform there is practically no difference between us, except the tariff, money and a few small things like that, which don't trouble you much anyway." Douglas will probably be compelled to stay and edit the Phoenix as a Democrat, because the Democrats can't now raise the money to pay. Douglas has long been anxious to sell, claiming he wanted to move out of the territory and go to California, where he was unknown and begin again. We hope the Democrats can raise the money to pay the balance as Douglas is a continual menace to Republican success. He will ruin any party he works with. The Halochee Industrial Institute at Taft, I. T., is a Christian school established for the express purpose of building up pure womanhood and manhood of the negro boys and girls. It is the youngest offspring of Tuskegee Institute of Alabama, and like its mother will effectively serve as a character builder for the colored race. Although a nondenominational work, it takes advantage of every opportunity to acquaint its pupils with the Bible. The vital importance of living a Christian life daily, is constantly taught the pupils. While the school is in temporary quarters, it manages to conduct a good literary course and instruct its students in the following simple trades of blacksmithing, wheelwrighting, plain sewing and dressmaking. Good, comfortable quarters are open to boarding students desirous of taking advantages of the opportunities offered by Taft. The necessary expenses for each pupil are: Entrance fee $1, board, lodging, light and fuel $8, any two trades $50. For further information apply to W. E.

SIMPLE ADORNMENT NOW THE INVARIABLE RULE, Era of Elaboration Has Passed, and the Up-to-Date Hostess Will Have Nothing But Simplic- \ *9001d403u209 A3I— SHEPHCKY saa Mien vive the keynote for the well appointed table of to-day. The era of plush cen- terpieces and satin ribbon sashes has passed away. So, too, has the looking glass lake, with china ducks and swans placidly resting on its surface and an island of ferns and flowers ris- ing mountainously In the middle. Tall decorations, whether of flowers or potted plants, are, in fact, tabooed among up-to-date hostesses. There never was a shadow of reasonable ex- cuse for their popularity. Nothing {s more exasperating than to be seated at a table where one can only guess Ss the identity of one’s opposite neigh- r. The present-day table appointments are exquisitely chaste. Linens em- broidered in colors are seen only at luncheons; when no tablecloth !s used. At dinner all the table napery 1s pure white, this being the only correct background for the glittering services of silver and cut glass, If wax tapers are used they are placed in low and rather broad holders of silver, bronze or porcelain, and are usually fitted with silk shades representing the flow- er predominating in the table dec- orations. Often, however, electric lights are substituted for candles, each bulb being concealed in the heart of a flower. These are much prettier than candles, and are less lable to accident. The popular centerpiece for ordinary use is a low-growing fern, set in a squat jardiniere of silver or porcelain. There is no daintier ornament for the round table, and it has been discovered that the delicate fern fronts of soft green have a peculiarly harmonious effect, not only upon the table appoint- ments, but upon the guests. Green is a restful color, and discoidance sim- ply cannot long exist where it is the dominant note. It blends, too, with gowns of all shades, while flowers of brilliant hue often seem to scream at the gay colors around the table. Long-stemmed roses, carnations or chrysanthemums are sometimes strewn upon the tablecloth instead of being placed in vases. If artistically arranged the effect is pleasing, but the flowers wither quick- ly. When long-stemmed blossoms are placed in vases the latter are invari- ably of transparent crystal, extreme- ly slender, and too high to obscure the vision of those seated at the table. Moreover, not more than two or three blossoms at most are placed in each. A bouquet of flowers or a “set piece” of any kind, is never seen, It 1s considered ill-bred nowadays to place fruit upon the table; conse- quently the once inevitable epergue, piled high with hothouse delicacies, is among the things that were and are not. Baskets of porcelain or crystal fre now preferred to fruit dishes, and these, with the rest of the dessert service, are arranged upon the side- board, whence they are transferred to the table when needed. The Vogue of Armiets. “Armiets” to hold up the long gloves now so much worn are among the latest novelties. Of course they are not worn except for gloves which come to the shoulder. Girls who dance say they are a great invention. One pretty paly recently made had ruffles of white satin ribbon, where these ruf- fles met in the middle of the piece of silk elastic was hidden by a band of tiny artificial forget-me-nots sewn down very flat. Another pretty pair was made with ruffles of spangled gauze, and the joining concealed by a narrow gold ribbon. Still another pair had no ruffles, but the elastic was entirely covered with flat turquois beads. : The Ideal Family Laxative. is one that can be used by the entire family, young and old, weak nd strong, without any danger of harmful effects. It should have properties which insure the same dose always having the same effect, otherwise the quantity will have to be increased and finally lose its effect altogether. These properties can be found in that old family remedy, Brandreth’s Pills, be- cause its ingredients are of the purest herbal extracts, and every pill is kept for three years before being sold, which allows them to mellow. We do not believe there is a laxative on the market that is so caretully made. Brandreth’s Pills are the same fine laxative tonic pills your grandparents used. They have been in use for over a century and are for sale everywhere, either plain or sugar-coated. TEST OF AN AMERICAN, Habit of Neatness Established Na- tlonality to Observant Boy. A young American who recently completed a course of study in an English university brought home as @ souvenir of his residence in that classic place a decided English ac- cent, says the New York Press. He stopped the other day at a downtown bootblack’s stand to get his shoes shined. The boy who attended to the cleansing process smiled upon him familiarly. “When you first began to come here,” he said, “I took you for an Eng- lishman. You talked like one, but I know now you ain't.” “How did you find that out?” asked the American, obviously somewhat disappointed. “Because you get your shoes shined so often,” was the startling reply. “If you were an Englishman you wouldn't do that. Nobody takes such good care of their shoes as Americans. If it were not for their daily shine a lot of us fellows would have to go out of business and the sale of blacking and polish would fall off one-half. Next to Americans, Russians get a shine most frequently. The English are the worst of all. They get a shine only once a week. Even when otherwise well dressed their shoes are gray and out of shape. If ever you want to pass yourself off for an Englishman you'll have to cut out all this polish- ing. With such spick ad span shoes even an accent that you can cut with & knife won't carry you through.” To keep a house warm in winter have the cellar coaled. HARD TO SEE, Even When the Facts About Coffee Are Plain. It is curious how people will refuse to believe what one can clearly see. Tell the average man or woman that the slow but cumulative poison- ous effect of caffeine—the alkaloid in tea and coffee-—tends to weaken the heart, upset the nervous system and cause indigestion, and they may laugh at you if they don’t know the facts. Prove it by science or by practical demonstration in the recovery of cof- fee drinkers from the above condi- ‘tions, and a large per cent. of the human family will shrug their shoul- ders, take the drugs and—keep on drinking coffee or tea, “Coffee never agreed with me nor with several members of our house- hold,” writes a lady, It enervates, de- presses and creates a feeling of lan- guor and heaviness. It was only by leaving off coffee and using Postum that we discovered the cause and cure of these ills. “The only reason, I am sure, why Postum is not used altogether to the exclusion of ordinary coffee is, many persons do not know and do not seem willing to learn the facts and how to prepare this nutritious beverage. There's only one way—according to directions—boll it fully 15 minutes. Then it is delicious.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

THEY CURE RHEUMATISM THEY CURE RHEUMATISM A Particularly Painful Form of This Disease Yields to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Of the many forms which rheumatism takes, that which is popularly known as sciatic rheumatism probably tortures its victim more than any other. That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured this stubborn as well as painful trouble is a fact proven by the following statement, and no sufferer who reads this can afford to let prejudice stand in the way of trying these blood-making pills. Rheumatism is now generally recognized as a disease of the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make—actually make—pure blood. When the blood is pure there can be no rheumatism. Mrs. Thomas Bresnehan, of 54 Mill street, Watertown, N. Y., says: "My trouble began with a severe cold which I took about a week before Christmas in 1904. I began to have rheumatic pains in my back and limbs and after a time I couldn't straighten up. I suffered the most awful pain for months and much of the time was unable to leave the house and I had to take hold of a chair in order to walk and sometimes I could not stand up at all. "The disease was pronounced sciatic rheumatism and, although I had a good physician and took his medicine faithfully, I did not get any better. After some six weeks of this terrible pain and suffering I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and that is the medicine that cured me. After a few boxes the pain was less intense and I could see decided improvement. I continued to take the pills until I was entirely cured and I have never had any return of the trouble." All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, or the remedy will be mailed postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. X.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrch, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

PUBLISHED EVERY WEEK IN THE INTEREST OF THE NEGRO BY CIMETER PUB. CO ENTERED AT THE POST OFFICE AT MUSKOGEE, I. T., AS SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER W H. TWINE . . . Editor. R. WOOD. . . . Ass't Editor. E D. NICKENS, Advertising Manager. For Governor of the State of Oklahoma, Hon. John D. Benedict, of Muskogee, I. T. We won the election squarely. We put most of the legal votes in the boxes. We did it with the machine against us. Did it without a single judge clerk or challenger from our side and we are entitled to the place although the opposition now try to take it by force, as they did the primaries. What a spectacle Hopkins and Haskell, riding in same carriage and Haskell making a Jim Crow car speech and Hopkins saying amen. The people who were hired to stay from the polls at Old Agency and elsewhere, should have seen and heard Hopkins and Haskell Wednesday night. Grant Victor, chairman of the Republican Executive Committee, lost his first battle because he was so narrow as to confine his energy to Muskogee instead of making a fight all over the Territory for Republicanism. Hudson is defeated in the house of his friends. How can these same fellows ask the support of Hudson and his friends in the next battle if one there should be? When the procession passed the Bank of Muskogee a few hoodlums yelled hurrah for Jim Crow cars, and the black dupes, Demies and parasites, sneaked away, especially those in buggies and on horseback who thought they too were entitled to join in the campaign. Old man Gordon says the negro is as much responsible for our condition as the prejudiced white Republicans race feeling. Funny cuss is this old man and 99 per cent of our people do not agree with him. The duty of the black Dames and Lilies was to suppress the negro vote and not to take prat in the parade. Liftum Dungi ought to be satisfied now, they have succeeded in so far as they were able to give our boys and girls, our mothers and sisters, Jim Crow cars and Jim Crow waiting rooms. No wonder they feel jubilant. The lily white Republicans are responsible for the defeat at the polls and are now trying to lay the blame on the negro, but it won't work. Next time the cards will be stacked differently and the Democrats will be running and they won't stand to be disfranchised and then the renegade Republicans will appeal to the negro for aid and then, "Oh, Lord of Hosts, be with us yet lest we forget, lest we forget." The negroes never will forget how the lily whites and their tools prevented them from casting a ballot. Their memory will be good and the time will come when they can hand them a package. Remember the traitors and when you can hand them back what they gave us. Our women will never forget them and they will make the men stand pat. In his speech Wednesday night, Haskell, among other things said: "The Anglo-Saxon is born to rule the world and that the negro should be treated kindly, but there should be a distinction and separation," meaning Jim Crow cars, we presume, and Hopkins sat on the same stand, but Sims and the others were not there. For the first time in history negroes stood at the polls and challenged the negroes lenged other negroes. The challenger was working for Jim Crow cars, but all is not lost, we have a way out of the woods and will take the way. The people all over the country are dissatisfied with the conduct of the late election. It was in some particulars the most brutal affair of its kind ever known. At the voting place in District 12 Dr. Sims was placed on the outside and it seems to be his duty to telegraph to parties inside to challenge negroes. This negro was assisted by another negro by name of Isaac, later in the day the King came and Liftum Dungri was added to the force and up in Precinct 9 Orlando Mitchell made life miserable for the honest colored voters of that precinct and the same condition of affairs existed wherever the black allies of opposition were to be found. Up in the Fourth ward they say negroes were charged 25 cents and 50 cents each for affidavits and many of them left without voting. Down in Precinct 12 the affidavits were drawn free of charge as was the case all over the 75th district. If we have Jim Crow cars the Black Demus and the gamblers have put it upon us. But all hope is not yet gone, there is one more grand fight to be made and we hope by that time the people will be so aroused that the traitors cannot place ruin upon us. 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.

Make no mistake. Keep the kidneys well, and these aches and troubles will disappear. Mrs. Anthony Cadrette, 77 Mechanic street, Leominster, Mass., says: "My sight failed, I had sharp pain in my back and bearing-down pains through the hips. I was nervous, fretful and miserable. The urine was greatly disordered and I began to have the swellings of dropsy. I was running down fast, when I started using Doan's Kidney Pills.

According to the New York Tribune, a country paper lays down this rule of etiquette: "When a lady and gentleman are walking in the street, the lady should walk inside of the gentleman." It seems a little strange that this simple rule, so long current among the cannibal tribes of the Andaman and other islands, should find its way into a rural journal of more or less civilization. It would appear that the etiquette editor of the paper in question was either too careless or too hurried to note any exceptions to the rule. Otherwise he would have explained that when the gentleman was thirsty and desired to enter a cafe, the lady would walk on the outside.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. It's a Jarer.

Amalgemation. The Richmond, Va., Planet in commenting on Senator Ben Tillman's speech delivered at Augusta, Ga., Oct. 7th, 1906, quotes a few lines from it and says: Senator Tillman said: "Amaigamation is the hope and ultimate purpose of the Negroes. White men are rendering them great aid in this by intimacy with Negro women. The line must be drawn as sternly between white men and Negro women as between black men and white women." Senator, no wyou are talking. On this issue, we'll be with you in the beginning and we shall be with you to the end. Your people have mixed us up so that we are unable at times to tell a colored white man from a white colored man. Amalgamation is just as surely being accomplished when the agency in bringing about this result is a white man on the one side and a Negro woman on the other as it is when there is a colored man on the one side and a white woman on the other. We agree with Senator Tillman and for the reasons specified as well as for racial ones. We are in favor of leading a crusade against both classes of offenders. We confess that we have the best part of the "bargain" however, for we have all of the white colored babies on our side and all of the black ones too, and it has enabled us to have white wives as well as black ones, much to the envy of the white man, who have only one color from which they can legally select. If we were to kill all of the white men that we find clandestinely meeting Negro women, funerals would be taking place in white families every five minutes for a year and it is doubtful if even all of the guilty one would then succeed in securing a decent burial. Keep the white men out of our potato patch, Senator Tillman. Stop them from climbing our back fences when they have overstayed their time lnthe morning with some Negro woman; whom some black Negro has abandoned, and you will win the lasting gratitude of every colored lady of respectability in the Southland and the hearty support of every honorable citizen of color in America.
