F. A. STICKEL, JR. Can the fellows who are responsible for the Douglass resolutions now name a candidate for congress and then fool the Negro into supporting him? We think not. The majority of the Negroes have good memories. When you look at the personnel of Colored delegation to Tulsa you can see where the gambler was preferred to the decent Colored citizen and yet the white fellows who made the selection say they are for harmony. The County Convention to be called in this county should lay aside the slate made by the so-called bosses and nominate the ticket. We do not mean that every man whom the boss has named should be set aside, for possibly the man may be more unfortunate than faulty and there is a chance of his being one of those poor mortals that must be saved from his d——n fool friends; but we do mean that the party should nominate a ticket (when the time comes) and give no heed to the Star Chamber proceedings of a few would be bosses. Mr. Fred Cook gave us his announcement for county sheriff last week and through the printer's error another name appeared instead of Mr. Cook's. We desire to say for Mr. Cook that upon inquiry we find that he has acted as deputy sheriff in Missouri and that he made a splendid record. He is a young man and has the nerve pluck and ability to make a good officer. We make this statement in justice to Mr. Cook as his announcement should have appeared in the last issue. When the political war is on the loyal Negroes will be called upon to save the day. Is it the part of wisdom to expect a hearty, full response from them after such treatment as they received at the hands of the lily whites at the recent convention? The Haskell Republicans will go to the convention pretending that they wish to nominate a man to beat Haskell as they did when Major Bucher was nominated and then do the same trick again and land Mr. Haskell for governor if they can. The fight is on as to who is Grand Master of the U. B. F. A temporary restraining order against Grand Master, P. De lancy, was issued and the opposition gave $800 bond pending trial. The case will come up again within a few days on a motion to dissolve. It is not settled yet as to who is right and who is wrong and until the court passes its decision on the matter no one can say who has won.

MUSKOGEE The New Farmer. The president's address last month at the Michigan State Agricultural college is so clear an expression of the conditions of modern farm life that a future historian may turn to it to read our times. All national leaders have told us that the farmer is the backbone of the nation. Washington and Jefferson were farmers, and good ones. The Illinois that bred Lincoln was one vast farm—Chicago was then only a small town. The president of to-day, not bred in farm life, although he has been a practical ranchman, is the first to express the unity between farm labor and all other kinds, says Youth's Companion. The farmer to him is an expert mechanic and business man, whose problems are precisely those of the workman in the town, who depends for success on industrial and social cooperation. He must be an educated, aggressive participant in the work of life, competing with the farmer of Europe, inviting to his workshop of many acres the most skillful young men, learning from technical students and the practical experience of his neighbors the best that is known about his business. City workers, meeting in the friction of crowded life, have always learned their craft from one another. The farmer has until recently been in social and business isolation. Now he is a citizen of the world, often closer, in point of time, to the nearest city than his grandfather was to the farmers of the adjacent town. The difference between the townsman and the countryman in educational and intellectual opportunities and in industrial responsibility is rapidly diminishing. That means the diminishing of the old real or fancied disadvantage of farm life which drove ambition and initiative to the city for opportunity to show themselves. The advantage remains and increases, for no matter how near together modern instruments of unity, the trolley and telephone, bring city and country, broad acres still remain broad, and produce the conditions of free and independent life. The Woman Worker. Woman's increasing ability to secure employment in gainful occupations is convincingly shown in some information gathered by the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune. According to his statement, about one in every three women in the United States between the ages of 16 and 20 works for a living. There are over 5,000,000 workingwomen of all ages and classes in the country, 44 per cent. being between 16 and 24, and the larger number in any one line may be found in the ranks of typewriters and stenographers. It would appear that women as a rule find work earlier than men, as only 25 per cent. of the males are less than 25 years old. But here is what differentiates the sexes as workers. Most of the girls drop out when they have a chance to marry and start homes of their own, while the men continue right along for life, or as long as they are capable of active effort. It is the old, old story, and no doubt will be while love and the domestic instinct exist. A blind girl is head of her class at a Chicago high school, thus proving once more the truth of the old adage that none are so blind as those who won't see. PURELY FEMININE GARB FOR SUMMER GARB FOR SUMMER DAINTY THINGS GATHERED IN SMART WARDROBE. Sheer Muslins with Kilted Ribbons Are the Fancy in Paris Just Now— Panama Voiles Also Much in Favor. Whether by convenience or taste the country or seashore becomes the Mecca of one's summer aspirations, the general need for a smart wardrobe is just as urgent. Emphasis is put upon dainty frocks and blouses A Pretty Sleeve for Blouse. just now, and, though they are intimately related, each fares splendidly apart from the other. Very sheer muslins decorated with kilted ribbons arranged in fanciful design delight the eyes of visitors to Paris just now, for they are the fabrics most used by the leading establishments for their dress display. A youthful model is of cross-barred muslin built over crisp organdy, with the skirt hanging from a girdle of the same material. At the back, however, the fastening of the belt is lost beneath an immense bow of pale cornflower blue satin ribbon, which falls in wide, fringed streamers to the bottom of the skirt. Above the hem large sunflowers are outlined with kilted satin ribbon, with centers of lace and embroidery applique. A similar decoration is used upon the blouse bodice, the trimming being confined to the area contiguous to the shallow round yoke of lace insertion, joined with bands of hand embroidery. The sleeves are cut in one, with the blouse and the long shoulder line perpetuated by an applied plait of the muslin, which continues down the center of the elbow puffs, losing itself in the folds of a cuff of shirred ribbon and tiny lace ruffles. Not as sheer nor as crisp as gauze are the panama volles, yet they are transparent and have a certain wiry effect that makes them charming materials for summer gowns. A model in palest silver gray, rather simply executed, shows a skirt which has a seam down the center of the front and is of circular shape and barely escapes the ground. It is mounted upon a taffeta petticoat in a slightly darker tone of gray. The center front seam is bordered on either side by silk braid half an inch wide, this trimming, in turn, being bordered by three rows of narrow soutache, the braiding extending round the bottom of the skirt. The jacket is a semi-fitted pony affair, cut away at the front in V shape and filled in with very narrow inside revers of moire, stitched with gray silk soutache and groups of dull green French knots. The sleeves are three-quarter length, finished with the braided moire to match the revers. Both upon the coat and skirt little buttons are introduced at intervals wherever possible to relieve the monotony of the design. Many glorified decorative schemes are worked out with floral designs of heavy floss silk and linen put on de applique upon the fronts of jackets, the sleeves and around the hem of the skirt. A pretty idea is to stitch braid around the skirt in a modified key effect, then set a medallion of the embroidery in the center of each square. As a rule, the trimming comes in white and black linen or silk, but the latter are easily dyed to match the color of any frock, just as the smart laces are. MADE OF SHIRTWAIST BOXES. Handy Piece of Furniture for the Summer Bedroom. A new piece of bedroom furniture that is practical as well as novel is the chest of shirtwaist boxes, of which a picture is shown herewith. The ordinary shirtwaist box is not particularly new. They have been seen for some time in the smart shops, with the box covered with creton, which, however, quickly becomes soiled if it is continually handled and the whole set looks unpleasant and ugly. The success of this chest of boxes is the use of sanitas for covering. Sanitas is made now in the daintiest colorings and very pretty designs, and can be readily cleaned when soiled. The various articles for the toilet table such as the glove box, the hand- ```markdown ``` For the Summer Bedroom. kerchlef box, etc., may be covered with sanitas in the same way. The chest illustrated was covered with sanitas in an allover rose pattern in soft and agreeable tones. "It is not a sign that a girl is economical just because she cuts down the number of candles in her birthday cake," remarked the observer of events and things.—Yonkers Statesman. ROAD AND FARM IMPROVEMENT Keep the Implements Handy Which May Be Needed for Breakdown. At this season of the year the farmers are getting busy in the fields and where a breakdown occurs, especially if the farms are large, a great deal of time is lost in going for repairs. There are always apt to be unforeseen accidents which are more or less costly, and a simple device of this sort may prove helpful to many of our readers. Those who are working on the roads or are doing any amount of hauling, as well as farmers working in the field, should provide themselves with a set of tools which would come The Wagon Tool Box. into play in case of an accident. By experience we have found that accidents generally happen in the worst possible place, where it is difficult to help ourselves. Sometimes the losing of a nut or bolt may be the means of throwing out a half day's work, rendering it impossible to continue until the damage has been repaired. While a great many of our farmers may think it is unnecessary and that it is always best to have everything snug and shipshape before going to the field or setting out on a journey, accidents will happen, no matter how much care is taken. A wagon box such as is described here, says The Farmer, will frequently come into use and be the means of saving a considerable outlay that would otherwise be necessary for repairs. This box can be made about 18 inches long and 16 inches wide and five or six inches deep. It should be provided with several compartments for nuts and bolts of various sizes. It is large enough to contain such things as an extra hame strap, wrench, some staples, bolts, nuts, screws, screwdriver, hammer, cold chisel, wood chisel, punch, pincers, hoofknife, copper rivets, some open links, hatchet, a few wrought nails and such other things as experience may prove to be convenient to have. The shape of the box is shown in the illustration. The middle of the top is nailed fast, while on each side is a hinged lid, fastened with a hasp and staple for a lock, if necessary. This box can be suspended from the guide pole directly beneath the center of the wagon box by two strong leather straps with buckles. Such a box would not be in the way and would be easily accessible if anything was wanted. HAND PICKED. Keep the cultivator teeth and the hoes bright and sharp. Keep tomato vines off the ground; use stakes, brush, or a trellis. Keep asparagus beds clean. Use the shoots freely until peas are plentiful, then stop cutting and allow the tops to grow. The apple tree that has its head close to the ground is partly protected from the high winds that shake the fruit from high-headed trees. The early lettuce bed is an excellent place to sow turnips for early fall table use. Remove the tough lettuce stubs, spade the ground so that the surface layer is turned under about two inches and sow the seed. You Look Prematurely Old Because of those ugly, grizzly, gray hairs.

An old gentleman, rather portly and clad in a somewhat youthful suit of light gray flannel, sat on a bench in the park enjoying the day, relates the Woman's Home Companion. "What's the matter, sonny?" he asked a small urchin who lay on the grass just across the walk and stared intently. "Why don't you go and play?" "Don't wanter," the boy replied. "But it is not natural," the old gentleman insisted, "for a boy to be so quiet. Why don't you run about?" "Oh, I'm just waitin'," the little fellow answered. "I'm just awaitin' till you get up. A man painted that bench about fifteen minutes ago." TWO SISTERS HAD ECZEMA. Cuticura Cured Scalp Troubles of Two Illinois Girls—Another Sister Took Cuticura Pills. "I must give much praise to all the Cuticura Remedies. I used but one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, as that was all that was required to cure my disease. I was very much troubled with eczema of the head, and a friend of mine told me to use the Cuticura Remedies, which I did, and am glad to say that they cured my eczema entirely. My sister was also cured of eczema of the head by using the Cuticura Remedies. Another sister has used Cuticura Resolvent and Pills and thinks they are a splendid tonic. Miss Edith Hammer, R. F. D. No. 6, Morrison, Ill., Oct. 3, '06." Blackest of All. The millionaire from Pittsburg was observed to be loitering outside of the pearly gates. "Why don't you hurry up and knock?" queried a shade. "I'm waiting for that other chap to get ahead of me," whispered the Pittsburg millionaire. "And who is he?" "Why, a grafter from San Francisco. By the side of him I will seem as innocent as a lamb."

Lessons in pronunciation are needed by a number of members of the house. The majority of those who tackle the word "victuallers" insist on pronouncing it phonetically instead as if spelled "vittlers," and the word municipal is another great stumbling block, members almost invariably putting the accent on the wrong syllable.

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. C. T. HUME, Advertising Manager. For Governor of the State of Oklahoma, Ron. John D. Benedict, of Muskogee, I. T. There must be good clean men on the Republican ticket in order to have the full support of of the party. A rascally Republican is just as bad as a dishonest Democrat. The men who went on the delegation for the purpose selling their proxies to the lily whites are not worth threewhoops in hell and that is what some of the Negro delegates of the city of Muskogee have done. The action of the party wreckers and assassins have placed the party in a bad position. The rank and file are refusing to play the game unless they are assured of having justice meted out to them. Since there is some talk of a county convention it might be well to suggest that the delegates who live in Muskogee and who were reported by the committee on credentials as living in the country should be eliminated. Are there any more office seekers in the Hamilton club? The common ordinary fellows should be heard from before the doors are closed. The silk socks should not have it all.

Douglas, Editor Muskogee Phoenix. Clipped from Phoenix of September 25, 1906. The Resolutions Were Written by C. B. Douglas, Himself and Presented to 11 Other Editors Who Voted FOR Them. We, the members of the republican Press Association of the Third Congressional District declare as follows: Whereas there is an apparent misunderstanding existing among the voters of the district as to the position of the party on the so-called race question, and. Whereas, the republican party has DISCHARGED its OBLIGATIONS to the NEGRO in that it gives him full civil rights, equal with every other citizen and still stands for that policy. Therefore, be it resolved by this association that the republican party of the Third Congressional District is OPPOSED to NEGRO DOMINATION in any sense. That it stands for separate schools, SEPARATE COACHES and SEPARATE WAITING ROOMS for NEGROES which shall have equal facilities and comforts of those furnished other races. That it is opposed and WILL USE EVERY MEANS at its command to PREVENT the nomination of negroes on any elective ticket, seeking the suffrage of the other races. On this declaration of principle all classes and all nationalities of citizenship are earnestly invited to allign themselves with the party of progress and prosperity. C. B.

Rooney, his wife, of Muskogee, Indian Territory, did make, execute and deliver to the Commercial National Bank of Muskogee, Indian Territory, their certain mortgage deed to secure the payment of a promisory note in the sum of Two Thousand ($2,000.00) Dollars, dated February 15th, 1905, and due six months after date, with interest at the rate of eight per centum per annum after maturity until paid, which said mortgage is recorded in the office of the clerk of the United States court for the Western District of the Indian Territory and ex-officio recorder at Muskogee, Indian Territory, in record book No. 33, page 340, and.

Stack Hay Around Pole if Animals Are to Feed Out of Stack. When hay is stacked, it will keep better and waste less if put in as large stacks as possible. It is often convenient to let animals feed out of the stack, and unless something is done to prevent it, there is danger of their undermining the stack and be- ```markdown ``` Keeping a Stack from Falling. coming suddenly buried under it, hence the importance of securing the stack, as shown in the illustration. The hay is stacked around a stout pole in tile center, explains Farm and Home, the top of which is allowed to project enough so that three ropes or heavy wires can be attached to it and the other ends of them fastened to stakes driven securely into the ground. SCIENCE AND FARMING. The Wisdom of Making Nature Fight the Insect Foes. Scientists are now realizing that the abundance of insect pests which the farmer of to-day has to battle with is due largely, if not entirely, to the upsetting of nature's laws. Nature has always provided forces which operate against each other, as it were, and with insects, as with other creatures, a balance between the numbers of different species has been maintained. Modern methods of farming have often decreased the natural enemies of injurious insects, says Coleman's Rural World, and in other cases have afforded conditions favoring the rapid multiplication of insects not formerly present in dangerous numbers. The practical entomologist of today, while not discounting the value of poisons and sprays as implements of war against the six-footed host, recognizes that really satisfactory control is to be brought about by a partial or total restoration of the conditions under which nature formerly prevented the different species from becoming too numerous. The entomologist accordingly studies parasitic enemies and diseases which destroy the injurious insects, and oftentimes he is enabled to encourage the parasites to such an extent that they largely or entirely control the injurious forms. Bordeaux Mixture. The Bordeaux mixture is the proper remedy to use for all fungous troubles; viz., mildew and rust of beans; potato and tomato rot and leaf blight; melon and cucumber diseases; asparagus rust; celery leaf blight and rust, etc. The half-strength mixture (two pounds copper sulphate, two pounds quicklime, 50 gallons water) is strong enough to use in the vegetable garden, except for potatoes. Raising Melons. Raising melons and squashes is a sort of lottery, but we have been able by eternal vigilance to raise enough for the family by using land plaster. It has to be sprinkled on the plants after every rain and a very heavy dew. A neighbor has been using moth balls with success, sticking three in the surface of each hill. CIMETER Scheme That Landed a Hungarian Judge in Town Jail. In a little village on the Hungarian frontier, not far from Presburg, a peasant woman recently received 400 kronen ($85) from her husband in America. She promptly deposited it in the local branch of the postoffice savings bank, and then the next day went to withdraw the whole amount. The bank official was somewhat surprised, and asked for an explanation, when she said that Death had appeared to her during the night and threatened to take her away with him unless she had the 400 crowns ready for him the next night. The gendarmes were communicated with, and when "Death" made his promised appearance he was found to be very much alive, in the person of the local judge. The woman's money is still in the bank, and the judge is in jail.—Pall Mall Gazette. Economy Carried to Excess. Inhabitants of a well-known region of the canton of Bern, Switzerland, a district famous throughout the Alps for its large breed of cattle and its brand of milk, are spoken of as "coffee faced and flat chested." At the last military draft eighteen young mountaineers were called up, and of these all but four were rejectted. This result is said to be not uncommon in these all but four were rejected. This milk are the main sources of income. The peasant feeds himself too much on the milk and grudges himself the meat. Perfectly Cooked, Ready to Serve, Delicious and Healthful "The ordinary breakfast cereal cooked a few minutes in a half-hearted way will in time weaken the stomach of anything short of an ox. "Any preparation of wheat or oats put into water that is below the boiling point and cooked as mush is usually served, remains a pasty, indigestible mass. The cells are tough and unopened. In addition, the stomach of a person sensitively constituted refuses to do anything with the pasty mass. It is sent into the second stomach, the Duodenum, where in consequence of the long time of the first process of digestion, is fermented and soured. As an eminent medical man pertinently states, the stomachs of half the people going about the streets are about in the condition of an old vinegar barrel. "Intestinal dyspepsia is the direct consequence of such feeding." Knowledge of these facts and a wide experience in the preparation and use of cereals brought out the product known as Grape-Nuts, manufactured with special reference to having the nitrogenous and starchy parts of the grains, of which the food is composed, perfectly and scientifically cooked at the factory, ready for immediate use and therefore not subject to the manipulations of any cook, good or bad. The starch of the grains, changed to grape-sugar, can be seen glistening on the little granules, and gives forth a delicate sweetish taste, very palatable. Children and adults obtain fine results from the use of Grape-Nuts food. It is so perfectly adapted to the wants of the human body and so easily digested that many cases are on record of nursing babes being fed very successfully on it. "There's a Reason."

My Dear Sir:—I have just returned from Atascosa County, where I want for the purpose of investigating your 95,000-acre ranch proposition. went for the purpose of investigating your 95,000-acre ranch proposition. I spent the 21st 22nd and 23rd of this February on the ranch, and during those three days I drove not less than 125 miles and visited every pasture on the ranch, and examined the property as thoroughly as it was possible to do within that time. I took your booklet, "New Home Sweet Home" with me and I compared the pictures in it with what I saw, and I found them absolutely correct. I drank water at all the wells I saw, and the water was good for drinking and all other purposes in all of them except the gas well. I did not like it very well, but I have tasted a great deal worse water. I am sure it is good for all stock and irrigation purposes. I saw the cattle drink it, and they seem to be thriving on it. I put a match to the gas well and it began to burn at once. I am of the opinion that oil is to be found on this land. Just off of it there is an oil well from which I procured a bottle of oil which I carried home with me. I talked with Mr. Brown, the gentleman now employed in putting down an artesian well on your land for you, and he told me that he had been drilling wells in that vicinity for the last six years, and that good water can be obtained at any place on the ranch from forty to two hundred feet, and that flowing wells can be obtained anywhere on the ranch at depths ranging from three hundred feet up. The land is all as good as represented by you, and lots of it much better. The Votaw pasture is the best all purpose land I ever saw. I shall recommend all of my friends who want comfortable homes in the best climate in the world to purchase from you. I am more than pleased with what I saw, and as you have said, it is the "Opportunity of a Lifetime," especially for the man with small means. Wishing you success in disposing of this land, and furnishing homes within the reach of the ordinary man, I remain.

CATARRH BLOOD DISEASED AND SYSTEM DISORDERED Catarrh is not merely an inflammation of the tissues of the head and throat, as the symptoms of ringing noises in the ears, mucous dropping back into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, etc., would seem to indicate; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater part of the system are involved. Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess of uric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently become torpid and dull in their action and instead of carrying off the refuse and waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system. This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all parts of the system. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflame the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting of a cold will start the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable symptoms of Catarrh. As the blood goes to all parts of the body the catarrh poison affects all parts of the system. The head has a tight, full feeling, nose continually stopped up, pains above the eyes, slight fever comes and goes, the stomach is upset and the entire system disordered and every symptom disappears, the constitution is built up and vigorous health restored. S. S. S. also tones up the stomach and digestion and acts as a fine tonic to the entire system. If you are suffering with Catarrh begin the use of S. S.

U., MUSKOGEE, NO. 31, 1907. --- Is Pe-ru-na Useful for Catarrh? Is Pe-ru-na Useful for Catarrh? Should a list of the ingredients of Peruna be submitted to any medical expert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that each one of them was of undoubted value in chronic catarrhal diseases, and had stood the test of many years' experience in the treatment of such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHATEVER. Peruna is composed of the most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient of Peruna has a reputation of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh. Peruna brings to the home the COMBINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treatment of catarrhal diseases; brings to the home the scientific skill and knowledge of the modern pharmacist; and last but not least, brings to the home the vast and varied experience of Dr. Hartman, in the use of catarrh remedies, and in the treatment of catarrhal diseases. The fact is, chronic catarrh is a disease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the nature of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them. BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY BELIEF. Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh remedy can be made on a large scale, as he is making it; that it can be mado honestly, of the purest drugs and of the strictest uniformity. His idea is that this remedy can be supplied directly to the people, and no more be charged for it than is necessary for the handling of it. No other household remedy so universally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full inspection of the critics.

The Green Corn Feasts Now Going on In the Territory. Muskogee, I. T.—In the forty-seven Indian towns (clans) of the Creek nation there are now being held the annual green corn dances. The bootlegger is busy and the Indian, afgter he has danced, will eat green corn for the first time this year. An Indian will not eat roasting ears until after the green corn dance. This is an old superstitious custom rigidly observed among full bloods. The custom is so old that it is impossible to get a clear idea as to its origin. The green corn dances are held about the same time in each town, although where there are Indian towns close together different dates are sometimes fixed so that the towns may attend each dance. There are from fifty to one hundred Indians at these dances, although when some big celebration is pulled off the number runs up to 500 or 600. The green corn dance is preceded by a busk held in June. This also is an annual town affair. At the June busk the Indians drink an emetic which is supposed to clear their systems and keep them free from disease until the next season. The drink is brewed from the root of a certain weed. It is brewed by the medicine man of each town and he keeps secret his medicine. While it is being boiled over a fire no man or dog is allowed to pass between the medicine man and the fire. If such a thing occurs the medicine is thrown away and more prepared. Why the Indians assemble in crowds for this unpleasant ceremonial is not known. For the green corn dance the Indians assemble and the squaws cook large kettles full of corn cut from the cob, putting in big pieces of beef and pork with it. Eeach Indian has a bowl and getting his portion sits on the ground. A dance will sometimes last three days. There is a feast each day and a dance each night following. At these dances trouble occurs. The Indians after their severe medical probation are in fine fettle. Bootleggers always manage to get in a lot of "forty rod" liquor and the fighting begins. Deputy marshals watch these stomp dances closely and they usually land several bootleggers The more liquor there is the more fighting. If there are old scores in an Indian town they are usually settled at these places. The records of the federal jails have already commenced to show the progress of the green corn dances. ELECTION IS CALLED. September 17 Date Fixed to Vote on Constitution and for all Officers. Guthrie, Okla.—Governor Frantz today issued his proclamation, calling for an election to vote on the constitution, and for state, county and township officers in Oklahoma, on September 17. After reciting his authority for issuing the call and setting forth the election ordinance adopted by the convention, the proclamation reads: Now, therefore, I, Frank Frantz, governor of the territory of Oklahoma by authority of said amended ordinance, do hereby make proclamation giving notice that the elections hereinbefore mentioned and provided for will be held in each and all election and voting precincts, in each and every county and district, in and throughout the said proposed state of Oklahoma, on Tuesday, the 17th day of September, A. D., 1907, at between the hours of said day fixed by law, at which election the qualified electors for said proposed state of Oklahoma shall vote directly for or against the said proposed constitution, and for or against the separate provision separately submitted as aforesaid, and for any and all elective officers for a full state government, state, district, county and township and members of the legislature and representatives to congress herein before mentioned. The opinion of some of the best lawyers in Oklahoma is that the issuance of this proclamation places it beyond the power of the convention to further amend the constitution or to change the date of election.
