ZEKE MOORE CONTRIBUTES TO HALOCHEE SCHOOL The Halochee School of Taft, received a small contribution to day from Mr Zeke Moore with a promise of another and still greater gift in the near future. Mr. Moore is one of the wealthiest men in the state and this act upon his part meets the ap proval and admiration of not only the people of Taft but of all good citizens, Miss Ollie B. Murphy, of Checotah was an accidental guest at Mrs. Twine's Sunday. She was enroute to Evans, Okla., for the purpose of opening school on Monday morning but missed train connection and was compelled to remain in the city until Tuesday morning owing to the severe cold wave which came Sunday and continued through Monday without abating. We trust Miss Murphy did not suffer from the weather. F. P. Brinson, Mayor, G. W. Cooksey and Rev. N. A. Robinson, a representative committee of Rentiesville, Okla., passed through the city today enroute to Guthrie, Okla., on business relative to the depot project at Rentiesville. They will return Saturday. Mr. Albert C. Barrow, brother of Mr. R. G. Barrow of the Cimeter printing department, returned yesterday from Saint Louis, Mo., where he spent a few day after an extended tour of Europe with the Millicans Minstrel. Mr. Barrow left here in April 1908, and his friends heartily welcome his return. Mr. S. Douglas Russell, editor of the Langston Age, was in the city Sunday, Monday and Tues day looking for a suitable location to found a Colored Blind School. While here, Dr. Rus- Vol 10 Locals sel visited Taft and it is thought that the Institution will be founded there. The editor is a great race man and a fine fellow socially but he is off the base politically. He was a guest at Mr. and Mrs. Twine's while in the city. Justice F. P. Brinson, a prominent citizen of Rentiesville was in the city on business Saturday Mr. Brinson feel confident that his town will get a depot in the near future. Prof. W. E. Glenn and Mr. A. Cole, of Taft, was in the city today on business. Mr. Dolf Nale, of Caddo, was in the city Wednesday on business. SPECIAL ELECTION TO VOTE ON SCHOOL BONDS JAN. 23. Mayor Martin issued a proclamation to day for a special election to be held in Muskogee on Saturday Jan. 23, at which the people will decide whether or not bonds in the sum of $300,000 are to be issued and sold for high and ward school purposes. According to the -plans of the board of education, $225,000 will be spent for a high school, $37,000 for a school in ward 1, and $38,000 for a school in ward 2. The election will be held on Saturday, Jan. 23, in the several wards and precints of the city, and if the proposition is voted upon favorably the bonds will be at once sold and contracts for the buildings made. Superintendent Briles of the board of education and Myron White, a member of the school board, who were in conference with Mayor Martin today, state that if the people authorize the bond issue the contract for the erection of the schools can be let inside of 30 days and the schools will be ready for occupancy by the opening of the Dealer in Watches, Diamonds, Jewelry, Tools, Musical Instruments, Clothing and Gents Furnishings. 117 NORTH THIRD ST.

LEADING MERCHANTS GREATEST DEPARTMENT STORE IN CITY South 2nd St. Phone 1334 The location of the high school has not been decided upon, but it will be convenient to all sections of the city. It will have a capacity of 1,000 and with two additional ward schools the city will be in a position to accommodate at least 2,000 more children next year than at present. Even with three additional schools it is generally believed that by 1911 it will be necessary to build more schools. During the past year 1,000 new houses were built in Muskogee and Mayor Martin stated today that plans had already been prepared for at least 1,000 more this year. It is estimated that 1,000 families mean at least 1,000 children of school age, and on this basis Muskogee will need a new school every year. There are 469 children in Douglas School and seven teachers and only six rooms. This is 67 pupils to each teacher. There are 790 pupils and 15 teachers and 12 rooms at Dunbar School averaging about 52 pupils to each teacher and each day more pupils are being enrolled. This means that we ought to have No 12 encreased school room at Douglas and this can be done at slight expense, the present house is so constructed that additions can be easily made. Dunbar ought to be enlarged and we should have a Colored High School by all means. Why not do it now Gentlemen of the school board? We are in favor of bonds but we ask what are you going to do for the colored youth. We do not think it asking to much when we ask for a Colored High School and the other additions. It is reasonable and just and we only ask for justice and will be satisfied with nothing less. Later After talking with several members of the school board we advise our people to vote for bonds. It means a High School and a Manual Training School for our boys and girls. Don't forget the date Jan. 23. Vote early and see that your neighbor votes. Every colored voter in the school district should get in his vote for the bonds. As we go to press we learn that Miss Alice Robertson has been confirmed as Post Master at Muskogee. This ends the fight for P. M. at this place for 4 years. eee en Muskogee Cimeter. = W. M. TWINK, Batten _ MUskOGED, OKLA.

The reasoning of Peter was con- clusive and unanswerable, Stated in brief modern form it was as _- fol- lows: 1. What has taken place in your “presence is exactly what your proph- ets foretold would characterize the Messianic times for which you are hoping. Turn to the prophet Joel, and you will see that both what has been done to the disciples and the things yeu are suffering under the Roman yoke are the fulfillment of Joel's picture of the times. 2. Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled the prophecies concerning the expected Messiah deliverer, as many of you have seen and experienced. God in- dorsed and approved him “by mira- cles and wonders and signs.” 3. Moreover, God reversed your wicked work by ralsing him from the dead, according to your Scriptures. He is not dead, but living. 4. We are witnesses of the fact of his resurrection, _ 6 Another procf that he is living in the gift of the Holy Spirit. “He hath shed forth this which ye now $06 and hear.” Peter's hearers were convicted of sin and its danger. V. 37. “They were -pricked in their hearts.” The Greek for pricked means “pricked with a ‘sharp point ‘intensely, deeply.” “For the word of God is living, and active, ‘and sbarper than any two-edged sword, and plercing even to the divid- | ing of soul and spirit... and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart,” for “all things are naked and aid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.”—Heb, 412-13, “The gense of sin is the plowshare ene opens the soil of the heart for the reception of every true grace of character.” The Second Duty.—Believing in Jesus as Master, Messiah, King, Sav- | tour, and Guide—a faith which trusts the whole life to his guidance and | control. This is implied in the re- quirement to be baptized. The third duty was to confess Christ publicly, openly, by baptism; that they henceforth are his disciples for life and death, It was like taking an oath _of allegiance when one becomes a cit- izen of a country This picture of the early church is so attractive, so beautiful, so ideal, | that some commentators have felt that it was idealized by late writers, and was not literally true. But as a matter of fact, it has been repeated over and over again for short spaces of time, Our own eyes have seen it, V. 44, “All that believed . . . had all things common.” They were mem- bers of one family and held things in common, just as members of a family do, Everything was for the good of all, No one, “said that anything was his own,” but all was for the use of friends and of whatever Christian had need. “WTrlontal Tiehi eh” Talhoar alle Oriental Light,—-R.

All true Christian hospitality is filled with the same spirit, This was necessary because 80 many were strangers and visitors. It was an emergency, it was not an instance of what is now called communion, It was not a new business enterprise, nor a new sociological organization, Individuals did not give up all their property to the chureh, It was one expression of an eternal principle, “that all possessing goods and industries are to be consecrated to Géd in the service of humanity is a fundamental Christian principle (Matt. 25:14-30; Luke 13:6-9), but neither experience nor Scripture in- dicates that selling all and dividing to the poor is the best method calculated to serve humanity, or even the poor.” “The sacrament of holy communion has always been recognized as the central means and test of fellowship with the chureh.”—Rackam, “Prayer makes a person a magazine of power.” There is nothing magical in the communion service, but it fs a real power, for which there is no ‘substi- tute, The greatest of all miracles was the conversion of 3,000 in a day, and the change made in these men, God is still working his marvels through his faithful disciples.

FORMATION OF THE PEARL. Parasite Goes Through Much Before Becoming Valuable. Curious is the history of pearl-para- sites, Worthless pearls occur in the common mussel, They are formed from the larva of a fluke-parasite, which, in its full development, inhabits the bud known as the “Scoter.” When the Scoter swallows a mussel containing the young parasite it grows into the full-fledged fluke in the bird. How the eggs of the parasite get into the mus- sel is explained by the theory that they pass from the bird's body, swim freely in the sea in their early stages, and thus gain admittance to the mus- sels. Possibly an intermediate host, the cockle, intervenes, and, if so, the mussel would therefore probably re- ceive its parasite from its neighbor mollusk, The. Ceylon pearl-oyster’s parasite seems to be the young of a species of tapeworm. _ The intermediary host has been traced in the shape of a fish—one of the skates or rays. This fish feeds on oysters, and acts as host to the worms, ahd the eggs of the parasites, escaping from the fish, enter the oy- sters, and such as are favorably placed give rise to pearls, The fish is a real friend to the pearl industry, and can- not be grudged its meals if, as is prob- able, it sets free the youthful para- si*s which form the nuclei of the valued pearls, That the Ceylon pearl industry is again flourishing is due to the scien- tific teaching which followed on a commission sent out to investigate the causes of former failure, Radio- graphy, the X-ray system, is even now used to show whether oysters contain pearls or not, so that oysters destitute of the valued concretion can be re- turned to the sea, Caspian Sea Puzzles Scientists, No one can tell what is happening in the Caspian sea. For years .past its waters have been falling, and it has been supposed that the great in- land sea was gradually drying up. Recent soundings revealed the aston- ishing fact that the Caspian is at pres- ent actually deeper than it was a cen- tury ago. There is only one possihle hypothesis. The bottom of the sea must be dropping out. PATIENT SUFFERING iis, headache ang oer symptoms of kidney disease, There isa way to end these troubles quickly. Mrs. John H.

M., and I. C Copeland, a prominent business man, of Taft, were in the city Monday looking after an enterprise that means thousands of dollars to that thriving little city. The fellows who are trying to make a cabinet for Pres. Taft have struck a snag and can't get any information. There will be no scoop for any paper until march 4th and then there will be a few surprises. Teddy has thrown the harpoon into Senator Tillman and now old pitchfork is kept to busy defending himself to cuss Negroes. He has been caught with the goods on him. Some of Mr. Creager's pretended friends are trying to make the public believe there is a break or clash between Mr. Creager, Chairman Norris and National Committeeman Cade. The wish is father to the thought but there is nothing in it. More than seventy five colored teachers from the Creek Nation attended the Colored State Teachers Association at Oklahoma City last week. The teachers had a special train thereby putting "Jim Crow" to the bad- For once the East side stood together and Prof C. B. Bryant was elected president.

County Court has adjourned There were many convictions and a few acquital. The county attorney and his assistants had the entire bar at a disad vantage as the law and order league had members present all the time watching their friends on the jury. There is a quiet county site fight going on in McIntosh county, both Eufaula and Che cotah are on the still hunt for the honor of being the county capital. The Negro vote will cut quite a figure in the result. The disfranchising of the Negro by the grand father route will neve take place in Oklahoma. Among the many reasons why stands the fact that quite a number of fair minded Democrats are opposing it and then again the Negro Democrats are against it and these men are a power with the democrat machine and there are many other potent reasons why the moss back element of our citizenship cannot accomplish their desires. The waterworks of Muskogee proved to be not worth three whoops in well the regions of Pluto and we have spent thousands of dollars for a water works system that wont work. What in the ell is the matter? Has graft got in his work. Is there any fair minded white man who will say the Negroes are not entitled to a High School? Will any one say that Douglas School should not be enlarged? Will any one say that Dunbar should not be enlarged? We think not and we must have these improvements. The Negro vote in McIntosh County will be the balance of power in the county site election, both towns in the fight seem to be asleep on reaching this vote. After election some one will be wiser. A still hunt is like an alabi, its awful strong and sure if you win but break one link and all is lost.

Fields, Muskogee, Okla --- earring MAKE FOR ECONOMY Little Need to Throw Away Portions of Food Remaining from a Meal —Eggs May Be Boiled Twice. It ts with the little scraps left over from the daily meals that waste most r frequently occurs; when more of a SYZ thing {8 cooked = Ps a than is wanted, bale ee perhaps, and it WJeaey” will not warm up re again: or possibly = Inte Fi Eri, / the cook imagines so and Goes Not save the slice of toast or boiled egg which ia sent away from the breakfast table untouched. It is not generally known that eggs which have been soft cooked may be boiled a second t!me without becoming any harder, so that any boiled egss which have not been cracked need not be thrown away, but may be put into boiling water for a couple of minutes to warm them through, and served up again for breakfast next day. To keep eggs, cover the bottom of a box with a layer of fine salt two inches deep. In this place the eggs, small end down, and far enough apart not to touch each other or the sides of the receptacle. Put on another layer of salt, then the eggs, and continue till the box is full. This is the best and simplest method of keeping eggs for those who have only a small number to keep. If you find at the end of the day that you have some milk in the house still, do not let it go sour, but scald it, and it can be used in the morning for break- fast. If there is more than sufficient for that purpose mix it with a little cornstarch and grated chocolate and make it into a pudding which the children will enjoy. If the weather is thundery and the milk turns sour unexpectedly remem- ber that sour milk makes beautiful cookies, and use it up in that way. If more tea or coffee has been made than was required it ¢hould be at once poured off the leaves or grounds Into a ehina vessel. When wanted for use stand the vessel in a pot of boiling water, and let the contents slowly heat. Pour into the teapot or coffee pot and the beverage will taste as delicate as freshly made tea or coffee. Cold coffee can be used with choco late and cornstarch and makes a nice mold, It can also be used instead of milk in a gingerbread and different kinds of brown puddings. To keep butter firm, if ice Is searce procure an earthenware flower pot anc a tray full of cold water. Set the but ter on the tray and invert a flawer pol over it. Close the hole in the botton of the flower pot with a cork. Dash cold water over the pot, re peating the process several times ¢ day, and the butter will be as firm anc cool as from an icenouse, German Baked Beans. Soak one quart of navy beans over- night; tn the morning clease thorough- ly. Put beans in kettle with one quart of tomatoes; cut up one good sized ohion and about one-half pound of bacon in small pieces, add sufficient water, and boil until pretty near done, Then place beans in pan with pieces of bacon on top and administer sugar and flour on surface and put in oven and bake until nice and brown, , Make Glove Jelly, Rol two pairs of old kid gloves to @ pulp in a quart of wafer, This is a stiff jelly when cold.

Here are two letters which prove the efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Red Banks, Miss. —“ Words are inadequate to express what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me, I suffered from a female disease and weakness which the doc- tors said was caused by a fibroid tumor, and I commenced to think there was no help for me. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound made me a well woman after all other means had failed. My friends are all asking what has helped me so much, and I gladly recommend Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Come pound.”—Mrs,. Willie Edwards. : Hampstead, Maryland.—“ Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound I was weak and nervous, and could not be on my fect half a day without suffering. The doctors told me I never would be well without an operation, but es E. Pinkham’s Vegetable ei poant has done more for me than all the doctors, and I hope this valuable medicine may come into the hands of many more suffering women.” — Mrs. Joseph H. Dandy. We will pay a handsome reward to any person who will prove to us that these letters are not genuine and truthful —or that either of these women were paid in a a for their testimonials, or that the letters are published without their permission, or that the original letter from each did not come to us entirely unsolicited. What more proof can any one ask? For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable ie >) Compound has been the standard remedy for ) Son X(( female ills. No sick woman does justice to e herself who will not try this famous medicine. ‘ar Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and has thousands of cures to its credit. i Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has y ES guided thousands to health free of charge. PS pA Address ' Mrs, Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. TYbIA & PINK WHY NOT OWN LAND? ONE OF THE BESY WAYS TO MAKE MONEY 18 TO INVEST IN WESTERN CANADA, “Deep down in the nature of every properly constituted man is the desire to own some land.” A writer in the lowa State Register thus tersely ex- presses a well-known truth, The ques- tion is where is the best land to be had at the lowest prices, and this the same writer points out in the same ar- ticle, The fact is not disguised that the writer has a personal interest in the statement of his case, and there is no hidden meaning when he refers to Western Canada as presenting great- er possibilities than any other part of the American Continent, to the man who is inclined to till the soil for a livelihood and possible competence. What interests one are the arguments | advanced by this writer, and when’ fairly analyzed the conclusion is | reached that no matter what personal Antersst the writer may have had, his reasons appear to have the quality of great soundness, The climatic condi- tions of Western Canada are fully as good as those of Minnesota, the Dako- tas or Iowa, the productiveness of the soil is as great, the social conditions are on a parity, the laws are as well established and as carefully observed. In addition to these the price of land | is much less, easier to secure, So, with /these advantages, why shouldn't this =the offer of Western Canads—be embraced. The hundreds of thousands | ot settlers now there, whose homes were originally in the United States, appear to be—are satisfied. Once in awhile complaints are heard, but the Canadians have never spoken of the country as an Eldorado no matter what they may have thought, The writer happened to have at hand a few | letters, written hy former residents of | the United States, from which one or | two extracts are submitted, These go | to prove that the writer in the Regis- ter has a good basis of fact in support of his statements regarding the excel- | lency of the grain growing area of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, | On the 29th of Apvil of this year W. R. Conley, of Lougheed, Alberta, wrote |a friend in Detroit. He says: “The gener has been just fine ever since came here in March, and I believe one could find if he wanted to some small bunches of snow around the | edge of the lake, There 1s a frost near- | ly every morning: at sunrise it begins to fade away, then those blue flow- ers open and look as fresh as if there jhad been no frost for a week. ... There is no reason why this country should not become a garden of Eden; the wealth is in the ground and only | needs a little encouragement from the government to induce capital in here. There is everything here to build with: good clay for brick; coal under- jneath, plenty of water In the spring | Jakes, and good springs coming out of | the banks.” Rar GCA 1 ee Ode es ae ae , Crush!

Women who do not thoroughly un- derstand the sewing machine often q blame the manu- facturer when the Fac AA a fault of stiff run Obese | fs ning can be traced Lage > to not keeping the StS fy machine jar \EY an Most persons think that Iiberal doses of oil are all that is necessary. Too much oiling is injurious and oil where there has not been careful dust- ing 1s worse than none at all. It is not enough to give a surface dusting; the cracks and crevices must be kept clean. This cannot be done with a cloth, Instead use a coarse silk thread, to draw back and forth through cracks to get out fine dirt that cannot otherwise be removed. The work of cleaning a machine {s lessened if a small bellows is kept in one of the drawers and the fine lint, threads and ravelings are blown out of the crevices. This should be done every day that the machine is in use. Care should also be taken that pins and needles do not slip into the shut- ule part of the machine, as often they clog it and the cause cannot be discov- ered for some time. It is a mistake to use a cheap oil as lt cakes and makes the parts sticky. Never let the machine stand uncov- ‘ered when not in use; and guard care- fully from dampness, Rubbing the running strap occasion- ally with a little vaseline or oil will make the leather wear longer. Norcross Buns. Sift into a large bowl one quart of flour, one-half cup of sugar, one-half teaspoon salt. Melt one-quarter cup butter in one-half pint warm milk and add to dry ingredients, with the beaten yolks of two eggs. Add one-half yeast cake dissolved in a little warm water, one-half nutmeg, grated, and the whites of the eggs beaten stiff. Cover bowl with clean cloth and put in a warm place to rise over night. In the morning take pieces of dough the size of an egg and mold into round cakes. Place in ‘buttered tin, leaving a little space between them. Cover and put in warm place to rise. They should be about double original size. With a sharp knife cut a cross on top of each bun. Bake them in a moderate oven about one-half hour, When done brush the tops with a syrup of sugar and water. A cup of dried currants may be added at pleasure. Mashed Potatoes Baked. Boil some potatoes, with a little salt in the water, till they are ten- der; then drain them, ard when quite dry pass through a wire sieve or mash them in the saucepan; season with a little warm butter and a tittle milk, to make them moist, when they are well mixed roll into a ball, place it on a buttered tin, and draw it up into a loaf or beehive shape with a knife or a fork; sprinkle it over with browned breadcrumbs, made from crusts of bread baked, crushed up, and rubbed through a sieve, Cook the potatoes in the oven for about 20 minutes with a few little pleces of butter placed here and there on them. When a pretty color dish up, lightly sprinkle a little parsley over, and serve while hot, gstrambled Ege with Peas. Take six eggs, one tablespoonful of butter, three tablespoonfuls of milk, salt and pepper, and one-half pint of cooked peas, Heat butter and milk in pan. Break eggs in pan and stir until mixture thickens, Drain off liquid from hot peas, which are in another pan, and stir them in eggs. Serve hot, BREAKS A COLD PROMPTLY The following formula {s a never failing remedy for colds: One ounce of Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilia, one ounce Toris Com- pound and one-half pint of good whiskey, mix and shake thoroughly each time and use {in doses of a table- spoonful every four hours. This if followed up will cure an acute cold in 24 hours. The ingre- dients can be gotten at any drug store. MAKING THE MOST OF IT.

Every one in that high and dry at- mosphere has more or less trouble with dandruff and my daughter's sealp became so encrusted with it that T was alarmed for fear she would lose all her hair, After trying various rem- edies, in desperation I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cutl- cura Ointment.
