Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. Muskogee, I. T., KEYES, WHITE AND RAVISH AT VI KEYES, BURLY WHITE FIEND AND RAVISHER IN JAIL AT VINITA Vinita, June 18.—Deputies Julius Payne and Bob Hicks bought in Dennis Keys yesterday and lodged hin in jail here on a charge of rape preferred by Lola Kelley, a fourteen-year old girl, near Choteau. The crime is alleged to have been committed about two weeks ago, at the home of Keys where the little girl had been working. Mrs. Keys, the wife of the accused was away from home at the time and Keys drove to the home of the girl and induced her to accompany him home, telling her that his wife would be there by the time they arrived. After reaching the Keyes home the girl was outrageously mistreated by Keyes. Keyes has been scouting in The Same Old Democratic Party. If Democratic testimony is to be believed, the Democratic party of Oklahoma has, with few exceptions, nominated their worst men. They have proved the primary mode of nominations to be a failure. The splendid opportunity given them to frame a grand constitution has been thrown away. It is simply Democratic history repeated. The Democratic party for the last half century has always done its worst—never its best. Its record is one of repeated failures. It has shown itself totally unfit to govern, totally untrustworthy and unworthy of confidence. It must not be allowed to get the new state in its grasp. We would only go backwards, it would be impossible to make any advance. Our state affairs would be in a constant The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

Keyes was easily captured and made no effort to fight, only attempting tC run away. He begged the Officers to keep him in the hills until nightfall, and did not want to be taken to Choteau lest the friends of the girl mete out summary vengeance to him. The story of the crime is one of the most revolting and heart less in the annals of this country. For two weeks this brute has been at large and now he must answer for his crime. tangle and litigation would be endless. Republicans must be joined by the better class of Democrats and insist on a republican form of government, on a representative form of government, on an equitable form of government. The Democratic party as made up today must be defeated in its courageous conspiracy and taught a lesson. They have indicted themselves, they have convicted themselves and they and their constitution must be defeated. Ambassador Bryce paid a glowing tribute to the new Oklahoma. He found here able earnest men. Let us see to it that we continue to merit the praises of nations by showing ourselves capable of selfgovernment, of good government and of fair government. ```markdown ``` HETTICK BROS., GROCERS High Class Goods at Lowest Prices Country Produce, Fresh Vegetables Everything You Eat Prompt delivery Your Patronage Solicited 27 West Okmulgee Phoue 861 Give a hearty welcome to the decent Democrat who is disgus gusted with his party's course and who is willing for the time to work and fight for Oklahoma rather than for conditions hostile to the best interests of the new state. What is best for our boys and girls, for our industries, for our homes? That is the question to decide in the coming campaign. A state that makes war on its own best interests cannot gain a leading position among the great states of the Union. Oklahoma must have a constitution that will put it among the the very first. Under the Murray constitution it would be among the last. No state in the Union has such natural advantages and resources as Oklahoma. Let us see to it that we enter the Union with a constitution that will enable us to develop those resources. Will it be Haskell and his constitution or a constitution for the whole state? Shall we continue to be known as Oklahoma or as the private reserves of Murray, Haskell & Company? We should have a constitution that will enable us to send men to Washington who can accomplish something something. Not men who will have to join the minority. One man's vote should be as good as another's. It couldn't be under the Murry constitution. No 58 Americans believe in fair play. Oklahomaans are among the best Americans. They will denounce the unfair constitution and in due time have another that will give every man a chance.

Walter, engineer, of Chatsworth, Ills., writes: "Kidney disease was lurking in my system for years. I had torturing pain in the side and back and the urine was dark and full of sediment. I was racked with pain day and night, could not sleep or was lurking in my system for years. I had torturing pain in the side and back and the urine was dark and full of sediment.

Double Enders Popular Among Smokers in Mexico. "Mexico may be behind us in some things, but she has us lashed to the wheel when it comes to making matches," said a man just in from the land of the Montezumas as he handed out a wax lucifer with a head on each end. "I saw nothing but double ended matches while I was away, and I can tell you that they save one's record with the Recording Angel. If you dig down in your pocket and find one match the chances are that you are sure of a light, because if one end goes out the other is left. These old time matches, just revived, that splutter brilliant sparks may be all right when it comes to pleasing the baby, but the fellow who puts on the market a double ended match will find a ready demand." BLACK, ITCHING SPOTS ON FACE. Physician Called It Eczema in Worst Form—Patient Despaired of Cure— Cuticura Remedies Cured Her. "About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of _____. After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in the worst form. Their treatment did me no good. Finally I became despondent and decided to discontinue their services. My husband purchased a single set of the Cuticura Remedies, which entirely stopped the breaking out. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone. I have not felt a symptom of the eczema since, which was three years ago. Mrs. Lizzie E.

From the high shelf down comes the camera, the plate holders are loaded, and we tramp across the green fields looking for pictures—or pretending to.

The retired contractor sighed as he got into his dress suit and thought of the elaborate dinner and the opera that were to come. "Some day," he said, "I'll git real desp'rit, an' then do you know what I'll do?" "Something terrible, no doubt," replied his ambitious wife. "I suppose it wouldn't look well in print," he admitted, "but I can't help that.

Landry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Deflance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Prizes for Tanned Faces. With the object of encouraging the pupils of the Farnham grammar school to spend their recent holiday in the open air as much as possible, the Rev. S. Priestley, the head-master, offered a prize to the boy who returned to school with the brownest face. On the pupils reassembling for the summer term 12 were picked out as being the most tanned, and it was announced that the judges had awarded the prize to Foster, the captain of the school. It is understood that Foster declines to divulge to the other boys the secret of his preparation, if any.—London Globe. $100 Reward. $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrth. Hall's Catarrth Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrth being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrth Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

LEWIS' SINGLE BINDER STRAIGHT 5 CIGAR You Pay 10c. for Cigars Not so Good. F.P. LEWIS Peoria, Ill Gov. Frantz Issues a Proclamation Asking That the Day Be Observed. Guthrie, Okla.—Governor Frantz has issued the following proclamation designating June 14 as flag day: "June 14th, 1777, the congress of the United States of America enacted: "That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation. Following congress fixed the shape of the flag to be the thirteen stripes and one star for each past. Thus the anniversary of the birth of our flag falls on June 14th. Therefore I do hereby designate. "Friday, June 14th, 1907, as Flag Day. I earnestly request that the municipal officers of our towns,, cities and villages cause the municipal buildings to be decorated. That all territorial institutions be also decorated and that our citizens display from the homes and places of business the flag of our country. I suggest that our newspapers make editorial comment and publish articles of historical interest on the flag and where schools are in session that the teachers will conduct appropriate exercises. "Patriotic societies will lend their aid in a general celebration of this day. The story of our flag, its years of history, what it has cost in blood and what it now represents cannot be too often told, nor too deeply impressed upon the present generation and the coming ones. It impresses us of duty to our state, to each other and our republic. The foundation of our nation rests on the patriotism of our citizens. "In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the Territory of Oklahoma to be affixed at Guthrie, this 5th day of June, one thousand nine hundred and seven. Governor" NO PROCLAMATION NEEDED. People Can Hold Election Without One. Says Franz. Guthrie, Okla.—Governor Frantz expressed the opinion recently that issuing a proclamation for an election to vote on constitution is not essential to holding an election. "I believe that under the enabling act people of Oklahoma have a right to vote on constitution," he said. "If I am unable, or fail, as governor to issue an election call, I believe the election can still be held to ratify or reject the constitution on August 6." The election proclamation prepared by W. H. Murray will not be issued, according to a statement given out by Mr. Murray from Tishomingo today. He says another session of convention will be necessary to fix another date for the election, but declares that he will not allow any changes to be made in the provisions of the constitution.

SYMPATHY FOR THE FISH. Upton Sinclair's Amazing Parable on Charity of the Rich. Upton Sinclair, in an address before a body of Chicago Socialists, said of charity: "The average charity, the charity of the rich, seems rather futile to me. The rich oppress the poor enormously, then they help them slightly. It is like the young lady angler. "'Why,' said a man to this young lady, 'do you always carry a bottle of liniment with you on your fishing excursions?' She sighed. " 'I am sorry,' she said plaintively, 'for the poor little fish. And so, when I take one off the hook, I always rub its cut mouth with some liniment.' " The Lie According to Mr. Dooley. "A lie may be as simple as th' thruth. Th' fact iv th' matter is that th' rale thruth is niver simple. What we call thruth an' pass around fr'm hand to hand is on'y a kind iv a currency that we use fr' convenience. There are a good many counterfeiters an' a lot iv th' counterfeits mus' be in circulation. I haven't anny question that I take in manny iv thim over me intellechool bar ivry day, an' pass out not a few. Some iv th' counterfeits has as much precious metal in thim as th' rale goods, on'y they don't bear th' governmint stamp." From Dissertations by Mr. Dooley. WENT TO TEA And It Wound Her Bobbin. Tea drinking frequently affects people as badly as coffee. A lady in Salisbury, Md., says that she was compelled to abandon the use of coffee a good many years ago, because it threatened to ruin her health and that she went over to tea drinking, but finally, she had dyspepsia so bad that she had lost twenty-five pounds and no food seemed to agree with her. She further says: "As this time I was induced to take up the famous food drink, Postum, and was so much pleased with the results that I have never been without it since. I commenced to improve at once, regained my twenty-five pounds of flesh and went some beyond my usual weight. "I know Postum to be good, pure, and healthful, and there never was an article, and never will be, I believe, that does so surely take the place of coffee, as Postum Food Coffee. The beauty of it all is that it is satisfying and wonderfully nourishing. I feel as if I could not sing its praises too loud." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

RHEUMATISM CAN NOT BE RUBBED AWAY It is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles, nerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitching with the pains of Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing counter-irritation on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain temporarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is more than skin deep—it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be reached by constitutional treatment—IT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY. Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This refuse matter, coming in contact with the different acids of the body, forms uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and pains are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheumatism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes deformed and crippled for life.

IND. TER. How can a woman be chairman of anything. New York produces more hops than any other American state. Does anyone still imagine that wealth guarantees the happiness of homes? If so, let him read the news a few years. It will soon be time for Uncle Mark Twain to exchange that winter white suit for a summer fur overcoat. It pays to advertise. Henry James says he never heard an American woman say "thank you." Then, doubtless, Henry never earned that little reward. According to a physician, an ugly nose indicates a large brain. Not necessarily. It may indicate lack of skill behind the bat. Probably that Wabash minister who has dedicated his seven hundredth church has not had time to notice the alleged decline in religion. We don't know whether it is true or not that the robins are beginning to worry for fear the cherries this year won't be ripe as soon as usual. The next king of Spain will be fortunate in taking hold of a government that has begun to think about the future instead of dwelling in the past. What a sad waste of money the submarine boats would have represented if it had been discovered at this late date that their crews could not live in them! Having tried the whipping post, Baltimore does not like it. There are very few cities in the country whose social conditions are so desperate as to demand such a remedy. Sure enough, there are strained relations among the little republics of Central America. If one of them speaks above a whisper all the rest of them jingle the burglar alarm. Farmers who were mad because they could not get cars to haul their wheat to market are glad now that they were compelled to keep it till the price went sky-rocketing. In 1897 the Greek emigrants to the United States numbered only 57. For the three years 1903-4-5 the total was 36,000, and for the fiscal year 1906 the number had risen to 23,000. The British barmaids will next proceed to storm the house of commons for their preservation. The chances are that they will be less fervently resisted than were the suffragettes. Mauser rifles have been made by their inventor much more deadly than before. Possibly he has been grieving over what they didn't do to the Americans during the war with Spain. St. Paul doubtless requires the women to keep silent in the churches so that there might be one spot where the man might keep his vocal powers from being eliminated through disguise. If Editor Stead can secure peace by persuading American young men to raise $1,000,000, his method must be credited with being less expensive by far than the old-fashioned method of fighting for it. One of our cities is cleaner than it used to be. On the waste-barrels which stand on the streets is painted, instead of the bald injunction, "Throw rubbish here," a winning request, "Please help us to keep the city clean." Citizens have been seen to read that sign and walk back half a block to pick up a banana skin. WORKING WOMEN WHAT THEY SHOULD KNOW Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Succeeds Where Others Fall. Text Somewhat Apropos. The Rev. J. B. Hammill, the eloquent preacher of the Hanson Place Methodist Episcopal church, Brooklyn, was preaching at Sayville, L. L., from the text "Look well to your foundations." After repeating the text he leaned heavily on the pulpit desk, which gave way and plunged over the altar rail, nearly hitting the laymen in the front seat and scattering the Bible and the preacher's notes among the holders of the pews. The aged preacher barely escaped a tumble over the altar with the heavy desk. On the Honeymoon. "So you were well pleased with the train on which you took your wedding trip?" said the bosom friend. "Was it an accommodation train?" The young man's face beamed with delight. "I should say it was an accommodation train," he confided. "Why, the porter put the light out every time we reached a tunnel." Whew! "Really—er—I'm afraid you overheard what I—er—said about you," stammered the gossip who had been caught redhanded. "Perhaps I—er—was a bit too severe—" "Oh, no," replied the other woman, "you weren't nearly as severe as you would have been if you knew what I think of you." Sad Worldliness. "Honesty is the best policy," remarked Meandering Mike. "It sure is fur folks like us," answered Plodding Pete. "Our transactions ain't big enough to enable us to hire de best legal talent." WORKING WHAT THEY MRS. SADIE ABBOTT Women for the most part spend their lives at home, and it is these women who are willing and ambitious that their homes shall be kept neat and pretty, their children well dressed and tidy, who do their own cooking, sweeping, dusting and often washing, ironing and sewing for the entire family, who call for our sympathy. Truly the work of such a woman is "never done" and is it any wonder that she breaks down at the end of a few years, the back begins to ache, there is a displacement, inflammation or ulceration of the abdominal organs, a female weakness is brought on, and the struggle of that wife and mother to continue her duties is pitiful. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, is the exact medicine a woman needs whose strength is overtaxed. It keeps the feminine organs in a strong and healthy condition. In preparing for childbirth and recuperating therefrom it is most efficient. It carries a woman safely through the change of life and in making her strong and well assists her to be a good wife and mother. Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeannette, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham— "I suffered severely with pain every month and also a pain in my left side. My doctor prescribed for me but did me no good; a friend advised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I wrote you in regard to my condition. I followed your advice and am a perfectly well woman. The pains have all disappeared and I cannot recommend your medicine too highly." Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con Sarcasm. The hatchet-faced female surveyed the tramp at her back door, then she sniffed the air suspiciously. "You want something to eat?" she sneered. "I smell liquor!" "Hain't got any on me." "Strange. I detect a distinct odor of liquor." "Ain't got a drop," the tramp protested. "Are you sure you haven't a bottle concealed in your pocket?" "Aw, take me word for it. If I had I'd oblige yer an' produce. I never wuz stingy at sharin' de booze." Thereupon he faded away gracefully. That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defiance Starch, each package containing one-third more Starch than can be had of any other brand for the same money. Pittsburg Wants Tall Structure. An effort is being made to get the world's tallest building for Pittsburg.

Address A. S. Olnsted, Le Roy, N. Y. Under the Microscope. The best microscopes magnify about 16,000 times and make a tiny pile of flour look like a pile of stones. WOMEN, SHOULD KNOW MRS. PREE McKITRICK Mrs. Pree McKitrick, of La Farge, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "For six years I suffered from female weakness. I was so irregular that I would go from three weeks to six months, so I thought I would give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. "Now I am once more well and can do my work without a pain. Any one who wishes, can write to me and I will answer all letters gladly." Women should remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound holds the record for the greatest number of actual cures of female ills. Every suffering woman in the United States is asked to accept the following invitation. It is free, will bring you health and may save your life. Mrs. Pinkham's Invitation to Women. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. From the symptoms given, the trouble may be located and the quickest and surest way of recovery advised. Out of her vast volume of experience in treating female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably has the very knowledge that will help your case. Her advice is free and always helpful. bound Succeeds Where Others Fall. HEALTH NOTES FOR JUNE. PE-RU-NA FOR SPRING CATARRH. LASSITUDE. SLEEPLESSNESS. IRRITABILITY. SPRING FEVER. FATIGUE.

When the train that conveyed President Roosevelt through Virginia on his last trip south stopped at Charlottesville, a negro approached the president's car and passed aboard a big basketful of fine fruit, to which was attached the card of a prominent grower. In course of time the orchardist received a letter of acknowledgment from the White House expressing the president's appreciation of the gift, and complimenting the donor upon his fruit. The recipient of the letter was, of course, greatly pleased, and, feeling sure that his head gardener would be much interested in the letter, he read it to him. The darky who served in the capacity mentioned listened gravely, but his only comment was: "He doan' say nothin' 'bout sendin' back de basket, do he?"—Success Magazine. Would Take What They Had. A gentleman purchased at a post office a large quantity of stamped envelopes, newspaper wrappers and other postal requisites. Finding them somewhat difficult to carry, he asked one of the counter clerks if he could supply him with a small quantity of string. "We are not permitted by the department to supply string," was the reply. "Then give me a bit of red tape," was the sarcastic retort. The string was supplied. No man that imparteth his joys to his friend, but he joyeth the more; and no man that imparteth his griefs to his friend, but he grieveth the loss. WHAT BECAME OF THAT MONEY?
