Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. Muskogee, I. T., ```markdown ``` Vol 8 MOB. The recent mobbing of a Negro at Durant, I. T., was another dastardly outrage that is a shame and a disgrace to this great government of ours. The Negro was in the custody of a Deputy U. S. Marshall but so close to Texas that the hellhounds who were thirsting for blood could with no danger to themselves take the prisoner and execute him. The officer who permitted this is not worth the name of officer. It says very little for the U. S. Marshal who permitted it. If the man was guilty as charged he should have suffered the extreme penalty of the law but after a fair and impartial trial. We have no sympathy for the man, white or black who will criminally assault any woman but we believe in the majesty of the law. If the prisoner was guilty there was no hope for him as he would have to stand trial before a white jury and the personnel of the jurors from Texas who have no mercy upon a Negro charged with that crime. It was an act of infernal cowards and they should be brought to justice. We are informed that the prisoner was in the custody of four men said to be Deputy U. S. Marshalls and not a shot was fired in protection of the helpless prisoner. The Anti-Lynch Burreau with headquarters at Guthrie, is offering a reward for the arrest and conviction of the murderers who defied the Government and took the prisoner from the U.S. officers and committed murder. Some years ago a hell hound from Texas and some from Ark mobbed two Indians near Wewoka. They weae arrested and prosecuted to the bitter end. Hon. Horace Speed of Guthrie, was sent here by the Department of Justice to assist in the prosecution. We expect the Government to do the same in this case. As citizens of this great Government we should ask nothing more and be satisfied wlth nothing less. Election Day Dots. Capt. Reeves kept the road hot all day giving orders and assisting the boys when needed. Dr. R. H. Waterford was every where but particularly in the third ward where he won the greatest victory in the history of the party. Dock is one of the hardest workers the party has and won't take a defeat. His motto was "we must win" and we did join. Jas. Fore chairman of the City Cent Committee is a diamond of the first water. His forces were handled as only a Past Master can handle them. The result shows. A, G. V Sango, the commander in the bloody fourth was there with the goods. Only once did he have to use the iron hand and that was when the Democrat Negro from Taft voted. Sango landed the cuss in jail and there he had an opportunity to reflect and cool off. The boys in the trenches fought the enemy from early morn till the polls closed and they were still coming when the judges announced "closed." We had at least an 100 more votes coming. The common ordinary fellers fought the battle and won the victory and our party leaders must remember this. Can the Republican party nominate a state ticket with 50,000 votes that belong to the party voting against the Constitution and refusing to vote for a single officer. The Demies did not know MUSKOGEE THE NEW STATE WILL FOLLOW what struck them and where. They have not gotten over the surprise yet. IT WAS SO VERY SUDDEN YOU KNOW. Great Muskogee is moving forward. The oil well recently brought in is greater than the Gleen pool and oil men from the east and elsewhere are here and on the way. The colored people who live in the District and own the land are strictly in the swim. All they have to do is stand pat" and their fortunes are made. Dr. R. H. Watertord handled the forcss in the 3rd ward in splendid shape and landed the biggest marjority ever had in that ward. Sango and Bucher brought in the bloody fourth with a splendid majority as usual. The boys in the trenches were there "with the goods." Every Republcan official should see to it that the loud mouthed blatant Negro demagogue who supported the Democrats does not even get the assistant lifting dungi. He is not worthy of a thing!at the hands of the party. The Negroes of the state should hold up the hands of the No 27 Anti Lynching Bureau in offering a reward for the outlaws who committed murder at Durant. We believe that the Negroes of the state in convention at Oklahoma City on the 22nd will decide against the constitution written by Haskell and his gang. The recent discovery of oil at Muskogee has increased the valuation of property to alarming extent. Earm lands that could be bought for $25 per acre cannot now be bought for $200 per acre. It was a glorious victory. The enemy were put to flight early in the fight and have not quit running yet. There was not a Demmie left to tell the tale. The Republican victory on the 2nd of this month shows that the people are in favor of Republicanism and aagainst Hask hell-ism and the whole Democratic outfit, constitution and all. Unless there is some change in the outfit, we guarantee 50,000 votes against it. There is real complaint about the fellows who went wrong. In a victory we can afford to be magnanimous. Learning. One of our great universities has given an investigating genius a degree of science for a thesis on the absorbing topic, "The Longitudinal Vibration of a Rubbed String." Too little attention has been paid by science to the minutiae of every day. While erudite gentlemen have been measuring the saltatory efforts of the Arctic flea, and other seekers after knowledge have been digging from Patagonian morasses the fossil remains of some monster with a name like a Polish pianist's, this far-seeing scholar has stayed at home and rubbed a string. He who seeks doctorial decorations need no longer dig through weary tomes or glue the tired eye to the exacting microscope. He may stay at home and pet the cat, as preparation for a disquisition on "Latitudinal Cross-Currents of Feline Satisfaction," or he may go a-fishing and enlighten a gaping world upon "The Convolutionary Variations of an Empaled Angleworm," or, again, he may make capital of a minor misfortune, and win himself undying fame as a recognized authority on "The Static Secretiveness of a Dropped Collar Button." When, remarks Collier's Weekly, a modern Aladdin can rub a string and summon an Sc.D., homemade degrees should be within the reach of all. All the big gifts to education are not made public. An anonymous benefactor of Princeton university has made the management of that institution happy by a donation which will enable the university to be enlarged along important lines. That is, the benefactor is anonymous so far as the world at large is concerned. Of course President Wilson knows, and from what that gentleman says it is inferred that the sum represents one of the largest gifts ever made to any university. Sooner or later the name of the generous donor will come out, notwithstanding his modesty. The prediction that 1907 is likely to be a record breaker in the matter of donations to education is in a fair way toward fulfillment. February alone has carried the figures to a high notch. There is certain to be a wide future for the small college. It has a place to fill which can be taken by no other educational force. The small college is commonly located in a small town. It is quite sure to depend in large measure upon the patronage and support of men to whom life has been a hard and serious problem, says Cleveland Leader. To such colleges will come students who find, it difficult to obtain means for any education beyond the limits of the public school. The influence upon the civic life and social ideals of the American republic which springs from such colleges and universities—for some have a wide range of usefulness and many departments—has been exceedingly valuable. It will not be less so in the future. A most commendable institution at Harvard is the text-book loan library of the Phillips Brooks House association, which lends text books to students for most of the courses in college during the time needed, on the payment of a small deposit, which is refunded when the book is returned. Of course, the booksellers do not like it. OLD CANNON CAN'T BE BROKEN. Armament of Old Craft Was Made to Last. A good story is being told at the Mare Island navy yard concerning a San Francisco contractor who bought all the old obsolete cannon which were sold at the local yard some time ago. The cannon were all of the smooth bore kind, and in order that they might be easily handled for shipment to the city all sorts of schemes were tried to endeavor to break them with dynamite and blasting powder, but they were unsuccessful. An electric drill machine was even set up at the yards and the cannon were drilled full of holes in order to weaken them for breaking open with wedges, but this was also unsuccessful. The cannon were then taken away and the last heard of them they were corralled in the hills near Point Richmond, where an effort was being made to break them open with dynamite again. The cannon which proved to be so strong were among the armament of the war craft which sailed the seas in 1812. Every Family Should Make Up This Home Mixture and Take Now. At this time of year, says a wellknown authority, the Kidneys become weak, clogged and inactive, failing to filter out the poisons and acids, which sour the blood, causing not only facial and bodily eruptions, but the worst forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and Stomach troubles, Backache and painful, annoying Urinary afflictions. It is worth anyone's time now to get from some good prescription pharmacy the following ingredients: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after your meals and at bedtime. This simple home-made mixture will force the Kidneys to normal, healthy action, so they will filter and strain all uric acid and poisonous waste matter from the blood, and expel this in the urine, at the same time restoring the "full blood count"—that is, 95 per cent. red blood corpuscles—which is absolutely indispensable to perfect health. A curious point in regard to the new dogs act occupied the attention of the Carnervan county bench on Saturday, says the London Daily Mail. The superintendent reported that eight persons had applied for exemptions in respect of dogs which were used for churning. Issard Davies inquired whether it had not been decided that to use dogs for such a purpose was cruelty, but several of his colleagues replied in the negative. The bench decided that the owners of the churning dogs must take out licenses. Grab Rope from Bellringer and Cut Down Trees. Ghostly happenings have disturbed the town of Kirkwall, the capital of the county of Orkney. On Wednesday night, says the London Dally Mail, the wife of the bellringer went to St. Magnus cathedral to sound the curfew at eight o'clock. This is an ancient custom still observed in the burgh. The bell had been tolled for less than a minute, when, it is alleged, a figure suddenly appeared at the woman's side, snatched her hands from the rope and as mysteriously disappeared. Another morning 20 trees which a few years ago were planted in front of the cathedral were found to have been cut down. The night was a calm one, with brilliant moonlight, and the trees were standing at one o'clock in the morning. Hundreds of windows have an outlook on the spot, and many people who were still astir at three o'clock in the morning did not hear the slightest sound outside. Yet an hour later every tree had been destroyed. The police are baffled. Indians in United States. In round figures, there are 284,000 Indians in the United States at the present time, 91,000 of whom are in Indian territory and 15,000 in Oklahoma, or 106,000 in the coming state. Those of Indian territory, the five civilized tribes—Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws and Seminoles—have been managing their own affairs for two-thirds of a century, and are in all respects fitted for the citizenship which they are soon to exercise. All of these, and nearly all of those in the Oklahoma end of the coming state, wear civilized dress, and have schools, churches and the other accompaniments of civilization.—Leslie's. Autographs in Demand. At the present time the greatest demand is for autographs of the English literary celebrities, some of which bring thousands of dollars. Keats and Shelley command such high prices that they sell best abroad, where there are more collections. In London, Berlin and Paris there are continual autograph sales during the season.—The Circle. A FRIENDLY GROCER. Dropped a Valuable Hint About Coffee. "For about eight years," writes a Mich. woman, "I suffered from nervousness—part of the time down in bed with nervous prostration. "Sometimes I would get numb and it would be almost impossible for me to speak for a spell. At others, I would have severe bilious attacks, and my heart would flutter painfully when I would walk fast or sweep. "I have taken enough medicine to start a small drug store, without any benefit. One evening our grocer was asking husband how I was and he urged that I quit coffee and use Postum, so he brought home a pkg. and I made it according to directions and we were both delighted with it. "So we quit coffee altogether and used only Postum. I began to get better in a month's time and look like another person, the color came back to my cheeks, I began to sleep well, my appetite was good and I commenced to take on flesh and become interested in everything about the house. "Finally I was able to do all my own work without the least sign of my old trouble. I am so thankful for the little book, 'The Road to Wellville.' It has done me so much good. I haven't taken medicine of any kind for six months and don't need any." "A friend of ours who did not like Postum as she made it, liked mine, and when she learned to boil it long enough, her's was as good as mine. It's easy if you follow directions." Name given by Postum Company, Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a reason." BLOOD GETS SOUR. Churning Dogs. Important to Mothers.

I haven't passed a stone since using Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and that was three years ago. I used to suffer the most acute agony during a gravel attack, and had the other usual symptoms of kidney trouble—lassitude, headache, pain in the back, urinary disorders, rheumatic pain, etc. I have a box containing 14 gravel stones that I passed, but that is not one-quarter of the whole number.

The Boys in the Trenches wins a Glorious Victory for the Republican party It was the Commond Ordinary Fellows who did the work. The following Republican ticket was elected last Tuesday by majorites ranging from 114 to 400. REPUBLICAN TICKET. Mayor—T. H. Martin. Recorder—J. B. Campbell. City Attorney—W. J. Sullivan.

Second Ward—Henry Vogel and W. F. Shuey. Third ward—Dr. Stickle and J. A. Klick. Fourth Ward—H P. Snowalter and Harry D. Levy. All of the officers are good Republican. This means we can and will elect a county ticket and the Congressional Ticket and the state ticket. When the time comes for the election of those tickets, the fellow who were to weak to get in the game for the election of the city ticket will be in poor shape for the next campaign. The traitors are sick of course and they will not be permitted to come in and run the party in the future. Jim Miller and his assistants in the 2nd Ward held down the brutal Democratic majority and that's all we asked. The fighting 3rd Ward and the bloody fourth did the rest.

To the Negroes of Oklahoma and Indian Territories: The constitutional convention authorized by act of congress, entitled "An Act to enable the people of the territories to form a constitution for the state of Oklahoma," has about completed a constitution which will be submitted to the people of the two territories for ratification in the near future. And realizing the importance of having our people fully advised as --- to the consequences that will result fro mthe ratification or rejection of the said constitution, I have deemed it expedient to call you together in convention to take such steps as will insure to the Negro voters of the two territories a fair and full explanation of this constitution. Now, therefore, know ye that I, J. Coody Johnson, president of the Negro Protective League of Oklahoma and Indian Territories, do, by virtue of authority in me vested by said Protective league, call a convention to convene in extraordinary session in Oklahoma City, on Monday, April 22, 1907, at 2 o'clock p. m. of said day. There has probably been no event in the history of the negroes of said territories when more conservative action and sober thought is demanded than now, and you are therefore urgently and earnestly requested in the selection of delegates to this convention to choose those representatives who have or whom you believe to have the best interest of the race at heart. The apportionment of delegates shall be 150 from the Indian Territory and 150 from Oklahoma Territory, to-wit: 50 delegates from Creek nation, 30 delegates from Cherokee nation, 25 delegates from Choctaw nation, 25 delegates from Chickasaw nation, and 20 delegates from the Seminole nation. The apportionment for Oklahoma shall be the same as heretofore, to be selected according to the Negro population of the respective counties. The delegates and their alternates shall be selected on or before the 20th day of April, 1907. Given under my hand at Wewoka, I T., this, the 25th day of March, 1907. J.

What is needed, is a remedy that tones up the digestive organs, and purifies the digestive canal.
