T., Whereas; we are forced to battle against the bosses of one of the most infamous, nefarious Colored People of Blaine County Organize. Subsequent to the meeting of the Colored Protective League of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, the Negro voters of Blaine county have organized a "Blaine County Colored Protective League," and are organizing in the various voting precincts of the county, for the purpose of voting solidly against the ratification of the constitution. J. S. May of Watonga, was chosen president; W. A. McKnight of Furguson, secretary; A. J. Foster of Lincoln township, treasurer, in a meeting held Saturday May 4 in the Blain county court house. A mong other things done, a committee on resolutions was named, which committee retired for thirty minutes and drafted the following resolutions: Whereas; with pride, we look upon the new state of Oklahoma, the grandest and foremost of all the states in the galaxy of states in the Union, and, Whereas; we as Colored citizens in mass meeting assembled, have unbounded faith in the impartial citizenship of the citizens of said states, and. Whereas; we till its prairies, its valleys, its jackands, and lowlands, we have been, to a large degree, instrumental in its developments, and Whereas; we have worked the buffalo wallows of this beautiful country, by faithful, constant and industrious toil, and at all times have remained loyal to the principles of the greatest and grandest political party ever organized; the party of the immortal Lincoln, Garrison, Douglass and Garfield, and: impositions called a constitution that was ever presented to a civilized people; Now therefore, be it resolved: That the Colored people of Blaine county, assembled this 4th day of May, 1907, do hereby denounce the said instrument or constitution, as being un-American, and void of the principles of the republican form of government and subversive to every principle of justice and fair play. Be it further resolved; that we do not endorse the nominating of any state or county ticket; that we pledge to each other by our manhood and honor, that we will fight and oppose any proposition that is in favor of said constitution or its adoption. We further resolve; that each and every one of us pledge himself to stand and act in accordance with the language of the above resolutions. Unchangably signed. J. A. RONCE, W. H. D'LYLE, F. K. BELL, D. L. TAYLOR, After having unanimously adopted the above resolutions, a committee on organization consisting of a member from each of the voting precincts, was named, who is to organize in each of the respective voting precincts and report at the next county meeting which is to be held in Blain county court house at Watonga, Saturday. May 18. The meeting then adjourned. (signed.) J. S. May, President. W. A. McKnight, Secretary. The above shows that the Negroes of the new state will not be sold out by a few traitors. The loyal Negroes are fighting together.—Ed. And now it comes to pass that uncle Tams has quit his job.

To the republican voters of Muskogee county: In accordance with the plan of organization adopted by the Republican State Central Committee, a committeeman is to be in each voting precinct, or part thereof, in Muskogee county. By voting precinct, is meant the precinct established for the election of delegates to the constitutional convention: For the purpose of selecting such committeeman, a meeting of the Republican voters in each voting precinct or part thereof in Muskogee county is hereby called. Such meetings shall be held in each precinct at 3 o'clock p. m. 1907. No 32 NO TICKET. on the 14th day of May, at the voting place used in the election of the constitutional delegates. The chairman and secretary of each meeting will at once certify to the name of the undersigned and the name of the person selected by the meeting as committeeman. (Signed) SAMUEL H. SMITH Chairman, Muskogee County Central Committee. If the Republican party is true to its principles we can whip the demies from start to finish and when we get statehood it will be statehood based on a "square deal." Let us stand toghther fighting for the principle of a square deal in the new state. Put the sack hunters in the rear and keep them there. To call for a congressional convention is contrary to the instruction given by the state committee, but this course of action seems to suit the fellows who traded off the Republican party last fall. Is another trade on? $500 REWARD The New State Anti-Lynch Law-Bureau offers and will pay the sum of $500 to any person, or persons, for the apprehension and conviction of the leader or leaders of the mob that murdered James Williams at Durant, Indian Ter.

IN THE SICK ROOM SIMPLE DIRECTIONS FOR THE HOME NURSE. There is one important duty for the nurse before the patient is ready to begin her day. The bed must be made. Let us suppose that it is time for fresh linen. Remove the pillows, then roll the patient to the edge of the bed, keeping her still warmly wrapped in the bath blanket. Fold the exposed part of the lower sheet over to the middle of the bed; then gently move the patient across it to the other side, and pull the sheet off. Put on the new one in the same way—one-half at a time. Slip on the fresh pillow cover and put the pillow under her head. Remove the bath blanket and quickly replace it by the clean upper sheet, the blankets and the spread. And then the patient lies, as bright and fresh as a morning glory, feeling on the whole that she has just had a rather good time. We will say that it is now breakfast time. If the invalid is able to sit up, the nurse should assist her to this position by slipping her arm under her neck, so that the patient's shoulder rests on her own, and her own hand clasps the body under the arm. Suppose the nurse is using her left arm for this. Next, she should replace it by her right, across the patient's chest this time, to support her while she uses her left to pile the pillows high and firm behind. In the operation she holds the patient much as she would a child in her lap. The covers should then be tucked warmly about her form, and a warm shawl thrown over her shoulders. A little device can easily be made to take the place of a table. This is merely a light board, about two feet square, with four legs about ten inches high. Cover this neatly with a cloth and set it across the patient's lap. She will find it far more comfortable than trying to support her tray in a perilous position on her knees. PROPER CARE OF LINOLEUM. Material Does Not Need Scrubbing to Remove Dirt. Linoleum, while not an expensive floor covering, is a very neat and desirable one. Good linoleum, properly cared for, should wear at least five years on a kitchen floor, provided, of course, that the usage is not extremely hard. In cleaning this floor covering the fact should be borne in mind that the dirt is only on the smooth varnished surface and needs no scrubbing with soap or other strong agent to remove it. Wiping with flannel, wrung from warm water, or half water and half milk, will remove all germs. A mop is not good for wiping floors unless a cloth is used to wipe the baseboard and molding after the mopping. If this is not done the wood soon becomes streaked and dirty. A good furniture polish applied twice a year will be beneficial to the linoleum. About Stoves. If you use stoves in the house and they will not be in use this summer, do not try to clean them with stove polish, but give them a good coating of black varnish. It is much nicer than polish and will look well all summer. By fall, when fires are needed, the varnish will be so hard and dry that no unpleasant odor will be noticeable when the fires are started. The sides of the kitchen stove or range can be treated in the same manner, but the top must be polished with stove polish.

"The way of the novelist must be hard," said a librarian of an uptown branch. "The other day an immaculately gotten up individual came into the library and announced that he was a writer with a specialty of dialect stories. We got him several books that he asked for, and little by little he took me into his confidence. 'I want the Scotch dialect for the stern father,' he explained; 'then when I've got enough of that I want some dialect for a sea captain, and then I want a duke—or maybe you can tell me, would a duke drop his h's?'—N. Y. Sun. PUT RELIGIOUS DUTY SECOND. Stern Laws of Business Come First, Says Austrian Court. An interesting case at law, which centered on the observance of an old Jewish custom, was decided in Vienna recently. A merchant, says the American Israelite, discharged a clerk on account of neglect of duty. Among the charges against him was that he came to the store late in the morning because he attended service at the synagogue in order to say Kaddish—the prayer for the dead—for his father. The clerk argued that it was his privilege and his duty to say the prayer for his departed father, while the merchant, who was also a religious man, maintained that "if Moses had known that a man had to pay 8,000 gulden a year rent he would have made different laws." The judge would not allow such an argument, but decided in favor of the merchant, "because the daily attendance at the synagogue could not be considered the right of the clerk without the consent of the employer." FRIENDS HELP St. Paul Park Incident. "After drinking coffee for breakfast I always felt languid and dull, having no ambition to get to my morning duties. Then in about an hour or so a weak, nervous derangement of the heart and stomach would come over me with such force I would frequently have to lie down. "At other times I had severe headaches; stomach finally became affected and digestion so impaired that I had serious chronic dyspepsia and constipation. A lady, for many years State President of the W. C. T. U., told me she had been greatly benefited by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee; she was troubled for years with asthma. She said it was no cross to quit coffee when she found she could have as delicious an article as Postum. "Another lady, who had been troubled with chronic dyspepsia for years, found immediate relief on ceasing coffee and beginning Postum twice a day. She was wholly cured. Still another friend told me that Postum Food Coffee was a Godsend to her, her heart trouble having been relieved after leaving off coffee and taking Postum. "So many such cases came to my notice that I concluded coffee was the cause of my trouble and I quit and took up Postum. I am more than pleased to say that my days of trouble have disappeared. I am well and happy." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville." in pkgs. SEEDING COMMENCED IN WESTERN CANADA. The Prospects for a Large Acreage to Be Sown in Wheat. St. Paul, April 24, 1907.—Word has been received at the office of the Canadian Government in St. Paul that seeding has commenced at various points throughout Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. The heavy snowfall during the past winter has left the ground in splendid shape for successful seeding operations. The fine weather of the past few days has taken much of the frost out of the ground and during next week there will scarcely be a district in which the seeder is not being operated. The most optimistic conditions exist and in all districts the farmers are busy getting things in shape. There will be a very large acreage sown in spring wheat, oats and barley. At many points throughout the three provinces the newcomers are busy unloading their stock and effects, working night and day in order to get on their farms and become active agencies in the effort to make the year 1907 the banner year in grain producing in Western Canada. As compared with districts many hundred miles further south than this, it will be seen that Western Canada ranks amongst the first in the line of seeding operations for the present year. It is safe to say that farmers who get in their crop before the 20th or 24th of May, will receive magnificent returns. A number of those coming in this spring, who had not their land prepared last fall, will break up enough land to get in a crop of oats and barley and probably some flax. This, together with the vegetables they will plant, will give them ample food for themselves and stock during the coming summer and winter. These early seeding operations are not confined to one district, but are spread over a country 900 miles long by 400 miles in width. The agents of the Canadian Government, located at different points throughout the United States, are busy giving information regarding the many new districts that are being made available for settlers. Low railway rates, information and literature are given on application to the agent, whose name appears in advertisement elsewhere in this paper. Money for Y. M. C. A. The raising of $70,000 in one day by the Y. M. C.

Recently the Ottawa association set out to raise $200,000 in 15 days. It received pledges for $203,359. On the last day of the campaign 1,500 people pledged $70,000. FAMILY'S SKIN TROUBLES. Eczema, Heat Rash, and Scalp Affections Afflict Different Members, But Cuticura Cures Them. "My wife had eczema for five or six years. It was on her face and would come and go. We thought we would give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. We did so and she has never had a sign of eczema for four years. I myself used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment some time ago for falling hair. I now have a very heavy head of hair. We used Cuticura Remedies for our baby, who was nearly bald when young. She has very nice hair now. She is very fleshy, and we had so much trouble with heat that we would bathe her with Cuticura Soap and then apply Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the heat up, so much quicker than anything else.

"Learn to love you?" exclaimed the rapturous maid. "Harold, I could give lessons at it." "You are charged with having knocked your wife down, blacking her eyes and loosening two of her teeth.

IND. TER. Are All Criminals Insane? If the murderer may escape legal punishment for his crime because the emotional explosion which brought about the homicide is adjudged to be a temporary insanity, where is the line between an irresponsible condition and mere hate? asks Collier's Weekly. How many emotional Italians, poorly nourished, badly bred, inheritors of none knows what taint, are yearly convicted of varying degrees of homicide, and swiftly punished, who, had they the money to employ able experts and counsel, might prove that the state of mind in which they jabbed stilettos into the other men, was comparable to a neurotic cyclone, in which their poor physical members whirled in a state of complete moral anesthesia? In a hundred years will our whole crude legal machinery for drawing hard lines about responsibility seem as barbarous as the ancient tests for witchcraft? Plainly, in the relation of punishment to crime, we are as yet children groping in the dark. It may be noted in this connection that a bill has been introduced in a state legislature to provide that murders who have no money and wish to enter the plea of insanity may employ a suitable medical expert at the expense of the state. What Makes Spring Early or Late. Until recently it was taken for granted that the heat given out by the sun was always the same in amount, not differing one day from another, or one year from another. But it has been finally ascertained, through a long series of experiments, that the amount of heat given out by the sun is constantly varying, and that at times it is not less than one-sixth greater than at other times, a difference amply sufficient to account for exceptionally cool summers or warm winters on the earth. Indeed, says Rene Bache, in the Reader Magazine, there can no longer be any doubt that we owe our weather, to a great extent, to the solar luminary; and our government is at present engaged in a painstaking study of the subject in the observatory on Mount Whitney, Cal., the expectation being that, when it has come to be more fully understood, science will be able, by observation of the sun's activity, to make forecasts of meterological conditions for at least six months in advance. In the simultaneous discharge of eight of the ten 12-inch guns of the Dreadnought, a shock was given the vessel of 400,000 tons, more than double that of any broadside ever before fired. The vessel of 18,500 tons skidded sideways several yards, listing many degrees. The guns are 53 feet long, and each shell of 850 pounds is discharged by 265 pounds of cordite, with a muzzle velocity of 2,000 miles an hour. It is calculated that if the eight guns could be combined in one and fired at the height of the atmosphere, the shell would travel around the earth forever as a miniature satellite. A South Bend (Ind.) girl played detective and caught a man who tried to flirt with her. And many and many a girl has caught one—and without playing detective, either.

What Shall We Do?—I've Got to Build Granaries. A letter written to a Canadian Government agent from Tipton, Indiana, is but one of many similar that are in the hands of the Canadian government agents whose privilege it is to offer one hundred and sixty acres of land free, and low railway fares. But here is a copy of the letter: "At your earnest solicitation a party of us from Tipton left May 15 for Western Canada. Our interviews with you and a careful study of your literature led us to expect great things of your country when we should arrive there, and we were not disappointed. We went prepared to make a careful examination of the country and its resources, and we did so. At early dawn the second morning out of Tipton we awoke in a new world. As far as the eye could reach was an apparently limitless expanse of new sown wheat and prairie grasses. The vivid green of the wheat just beginning to stool out, and the inky blackness of the soil contrasted in a way beautiful to see. An hour or two later we steamed into Winnipeg. Here we found a number of surprises. A hundred thousand souls well housed, with every convenience that goes to make a modern up-to-date city—banks, hotels, newspapers, stores, electric light, street railways, sewerage, waterworks, asphalt pavements, everything. With eyes and ears open we traveled for two thousand miles through Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, going out over the Canadian Pacific railway, via Calgary to Edmonton, and returning to Winnipeg over the Canadian Northern railway. In the meantime we made several side trips and stopped off at a number of points where we made drives into the surrounding country. On every hand were evidences of prosperity. The growing wheat, oats, rye, flax, barley, not little patches, but great fields, many of them a square mile in extent, the three, five and sometimes seven-horse teams laying over an inky black ribbon of yellow stubble, generally in furrows straight as gun barrels and at right angles from the roads stretching into the distance, contrasted strangely with our little fields at home. The towns both large and small were doubly conspicuous, made so, first by their newness and second by the towering elevators necessary to hold the immense crops of wheat grown in the immediate neighborhood. The newness, the thrift, the hustle, the sound of saw and hammer, the tents housing owners of buildings in various stages of completion, the piles of household effects and agricultural implements at the railway stations waiting to be hauled out to the "Claims," the occasional steam plow turning its twenty or thirty acres a day, the sod house, the unpainted house of wood, the up-to-date modern residence with large red barn by, all these were seen everywhere we went, an earnest of prosperity and wealth to be. We talked with men and visited their places that four years ago was unbroken prairie. Their houses, barns, implements and live stock were the equal of anything in Tipton County, and why not, when they were raising five, ten and twenty, yes, in one instance, forty thousand bushels of wheat a year. The fact that such large yields of wheat are raised so easily and so surely impressed us very favorably. And when we saw men who four or five years ago commenced there with two or three thousand dollars, and were now as well fixed and making money much easier and many times faster than lots of our acquaintances on Indiana farms fifty years cleared and valued at four times as much, we decided to invest. So we bought in partnership a little over two thousand acres, some of it improved and in wheat.

Just before time to thresh I received a letter from him. "What shall we do?" said he; "I've got to build granaries. There's so much wheat that the railways are just swamped. We can't get cars and the elevators are all full. I never saw anything like it." In reply we wrote, "Good for you. Go ahead and build; your story sounds better than the letters we used to get from our friends in Kansas when they bewailed the fact that the hard wheat had been destroyed by the chinch bugs and the corn by hot winds, and that they must sell the stock for means to live on. Yes, build by all means." And he did, and our wheat put in by a renter made twenty-seven bushels per acre. (Sd) A. G. BURKHART. (Sd) J. TRELOAR-TRESIDDER. (Sd) WALTER W. MOUNT. Relief Works in China.

We stand where we have always stood—against the constitution, against a state ticket and from daily reports, we are in line with the Republican party.

Opposite Court House MAIL ORDER EVIL ITS RISE IS NOT THE RESULT OF LEGITIMATE DEMAND. And It Feeds Upon the Prosperity of the Country Towns—A Menace to the Nation. (Copyrighted, 1906, by Alfred C. Clark.) As the years go by we are more than ever brought face to face with the vital question of trading at home. During the past decade the habit of buying goods abroad has grown to such proportions that the country merchant may well feel alarmed at the probable outcome unless something is done to forestall the great calamity which will surely result therefrom. Trade conditions 25 years ago were satisfactory. At that time catalogue houses were entirely unknown and country merchants were "monarchs of all they surveyed," so to speak, in the lines represented, and the people were prosperous and happy. Perhaps not so much because they generally had money enough to meet their wants, but because of the contentment that prevailed throughout the country at that time. The farmers raised good crops, generally, and received good prices for what they had to sell. They sold their surplus stuff to the local merchant and bought what they wanted; and this was the height of their ambition, hence the contentment that prevailed. But in after years, when cities grew and trade expanded, the merchants of these cities not being content with conditions of trade, devised plans by which they might reach out for more business. Advertising in the newspapers being a cheap way of putting the merits of their goods before the people, this plan appealed to them and it was adopted. At first they operated on a small scale; then, as the merchant saw the opportunity for making it pay, he added to his advertising fund. And so it has continued until to-day millions of dollars are annually sent to mail order houses by the people of the United States. The best and most effective way to throttle the catalogue house has been a question uppermost in the minds of country merchants for several years past; some advocating one plan and some another. There are several plans which might be presented to induce the farmer to buy at home. In the first place his pride might be appealed to. There are very few farmers who own their own farms but that would be interested in building up his own locality. He realizes the fact that if his farm is to be valuable it must be farmed in the most scientific manner and all buildings, fences, etc., must be kept up in the best possible shape, and above all the farm must be located not too far from some good town, for we all know that farm land brings a much better price when near to some good town or village. It is not hard to get the farmer to realize this, for if he ever sold any farm land or tried to sell any, he knows this to be a fact. Well, then, after he has realized this fact, the thing for him to do is to patronize his home merchants and business men, so they may be able to build and maintain a good town. Public schools are much better in the towns than in the country for the reason that where the population is most dense, there is more taxable property to the amount of territory covered, hence there is more money collected for school purposes, and as a result more and better teachers are employed. All this is of the highest importance to the farmer, as most farmers who are of any importance in their profession are interested in giving their boys and girls a good education. And right here is where the good CITRAL BINER MAIL ORDER HOUSE Are you, Mr. Resident of This Community, feeding to the mail order hog the dollars of this community? Are you pouring the money that should stay in the home town into the trough from which the gluttonous hogs of the city feed? If so you are doing not only the town, but yourself, an irreparable injury, and one that you should stop at once. Are you, Mr. Resident of This Community, feeding to the mail order hog the dollars of this community? Are you pouring the money that should stay in the home town into the trough from which the gluttonous hogs of the city feed? If so you are doing not only the town, but yourself, an irreparable injury, and one that you should stop at once. town proposition comes to him with great force. He knows he can send his children to the village school at a great deal less expense than to send them away to college, and that in most cases better results are obtained. If the farmer seriously desires all these good things he must of necessity help to build them. Let him understand that he is one of the main spokes in the great wheel of commerce in his vicinity and that he can ill-afford to send abroad to purchase even the smallest item of merchandise, though it may seem to him that he is saving a few cents by doing so. It seems that it could be easily pointed out to him that if there was no town near him and he had to drive 20 or 30 miles to take his produce to market and haul his groceries the same distance home, he could easily see that his land would greatly depreciate in value and the disadvantages he would encounter on every hand would be very disastrous to his time Are you, Mr. Resident of This City, hog the dollars of this community? stay in the home town into the trot the city feed? If so you are doing parable injury, and one that you sh and he would gladly spend his money at home to divert this calamity. One of the most potent levers with which to control trade in country localities is the liberal use of printers' ink, coupled with intelligence in advertising the wares of the merchant. The catalogue houses employ the best talent obtainable to write their advertisements and spend large sums of money in this way. Besides advertising judiciously they advertise on a large scale and consequently get the business. The old saying that "You must fight the devil with fire" will apply in this case. The home merchant must advertise. He must do more than say: "Come to Smith's to trade, cheapest place on earth." He must describe his merchandise as he would in private conversation over the counter to a customer, and then quote the price. This will nearly always act as a clincher and will at least put him on a standing with the catalogue house. In fact it will give him an advantage over the catalogue house, for in almost every case he can sell the same grade of merchandise cheaper than the catalogue house can sell it. This is not mere theory but a statement of fact, for the reason that the country merchant's business is operated at a very much less expense than that of the mail order merchant. There are a thousand and one items --- of expense which the city merchant has to meet that are entirely unknown to the country merchant. The time is rapidly approaching when people who patronize mail order houses will be looked upon as "sooners" by the solid and influential citizens of all commonwealths and will suffer ostracism at their hands. Cities and towns are built by combined efforts of the residents thereof; not by foreign capital. So too are our churches and schoolhouses built. It may be true that in many instances eastern capital has been employed to make improvements in the west, but always with good round interest to the lender of the money. No one ever heard of a case where an eastern man or firm contributed to western enterprise for the fun of the thing. Nor did you ever hear of a case where any mail order or catalogue house ever contributed to any church building fund. Nor yet did they ever build or help to build any of our schoolhouses. You never heard of a case of this kind community, feeding to the mail order Are you pouring the money that should ought from which the gluttonous hogs of not only the town, but yourself, an irre- ould stop at once. and you never will. All these eastern sharks care for is your dollar, and you know it, and when they have gotten that they have no more use for you. Then why should you patronize them? You can go to your home merchant any day in the year and if you are short of change, he will extend you credit. If you are sick and unable to work the home merchant will see that your family is provisioned until you get on your feet again. He will do all of this and at the same time furnish the same grade of goods at the same or even at a less price. Will the catalogue merchant do this? The Utility of Beauty. Beauty and utility are not necessarily antagonistic. Beauty itself is useful in that it augments the happiness of life. Take away the flowers and birds, the varying colors of vegetation, the little cascades and the innumerable things of beauty with which nature has endowed her scenery and life would be bereft of much of its gladness, much that exalts and embellishes it, much that makes it more useful to the human family. From those I trust, God guard me; from those I mistrust I will guard myself.—Italian proverb. WAS NOT ALL ETIQUETTE. Minister Tucker Had Reasons of His Own for Remaining Standing. When the Hon. Beverly Tucker, minister to the Court of St. James, was presented to Queen Victoria she indicated that he be seated by that slight motion of her plump hand which all England obeyed. Tucker was portly and heavy, and the only available chair was fragile and small. He appeared not to notice the invitation. A moment later it was repeated, for even at that first interview began the queen's liking for Minister Tucker, which ripened into such an intimate friendship as no other American ever enjoyed with her majesty. Still, the weakness of things terrestrial was more potent than the finger of Victoria, and Tucker again ignored the command. Then the queen put it in words, when Tucker, with a profound bow, replied: "Your majesty, I never sit in the presence of royalty." "I accept the compliment at your hands," replied the queen; "and now you must accept comfort at mine." "Comfort!" exclaimed Mr. Tucker. "Why, I should break both my back and your majesty's chair if I attempted to sit on it!"—Lippincott's.
