BASEBALL FOR CHARITY.
Business Men vs. Professional Men—Professionals Win the Game—Watch the Game Next Week.
An interesting base ball game was played in the Pioneer park last Friday by the colored professional and business men of Muskogee. The business men had the best of the game until the fourth or fifth inning when the professionals began to warm up and show superior science of the game.
At the close of the ninth inning the score stood 9 to 6 in favor of the professional men.
Admission to this game was 15 cents and a large crowd attended.
This was the first of a series of three games, two more of which are yet to be played.
One will be played one day next week, and the third perhaps the following week. All the proceeds to go to charity.
Everyone who possibly can should attend these games. All colored professional or business men who fail to attend will be fined not less than one dollar.
The business men's team consisted of the following named players:
Captain, Edwards, c; J. H. Escoe, third base; H. B. Penny, shortstop; T. J. Elliot, second base; Jas. Sturgin, left field; J. W. Sharp, first base; E. D. Nickens, right field; J. E. Johnson, center field; M. S. Simmons, pitch; Geo. F. Johnson, pitch.
The professional team consisted of the following named players:

CHECOTAH NOTES.
We are glad to say that the people in and around Checotah are well pleased with the rainfall at this time of the year as the crops are looking fine.
The street paving is continuing to move on, and in fact, it makes Checotah look much cleaner.
New houses are still being built and more have been contracted to be built.
Don't forget the Watson Addition. There are still more lots to be sold at that low price.
Messrs. C. B. Murphy, Lewis Williams and George Taylor have purchased two lots each in the Watson Addition and are expecting to build on them soon.
Mrs. Rosa Toliver is visiting relatives in Texas.
Mrs. Sarah E. Temple and Miss Ollie B. Murphy and Miss Lucily Wilder are attending the Normal at Eufaula. Monty Alexander has purchased two fine bay horses and is expecting to start for Texas soon by land. Dr. J. A. Mattison still has his shingle out at East Fourth street, known as the bachelor's home. Mr. A. J. Smitherman of Muskogee visited Checotah last Sunday and is well pleased with the growth of Checotah.
Miss Amanda Cooksey of Dallas, Texas, is visiting relatives in Checotah.
Mr. A. J. Adkerson seems to be giving all of his time to farming. Fishing seems to be a thing of the past. It is true that when it comes to game fishing Mr. Adwerson's equal is hard to find.
There will be a rally given by the members of the First Baptist Church. Everybody is expected to be present to assist in this rally.
We are glad to say that Beve Woods is doing all he can to clear up our church debt.
REPORTEP
Removed From the System of Will Smith of This City. Alive.
Mr. Will Smith, Who is Employed by the City of Muskogee, has Been Troubled for Over Two Years With Tenia (Tapeworm) in His Intestines.
Will Smith, who is employed by the city, living on Fifth street, has been troubled for over two years with a tape worm. Mr. Smith had made various attempts and trials to remove same, but was never successful. This monstrous parasite, about forty feet long, had grown in length until the symptoms of which Mr. Smith complained at times produced the most excruciating pain and aching in the back, a tired, languid and stupid feeling, never feeling like work. Mr. Smith says: "After sleeping all night, a dreamless sleep, I would get up in the morning and would not feel as rested as I did the evening before I retired. The food I ate, seemingly, gave me no strength. I was always tired and worn out. At times I would have a ravenous appetite, and again, even the odor of food would satisfy my hunger. I also complained of a dull, heavy headache, at times having dots and dashes appear in front of my eyes, accompanied by vertigo or dizziness." Mr. Smith says the above sysmtons continued until he was compelled to quit work, and last Tuesday morning he called at the Plant Juice headquarters on the vacant lot at Second and Okmulgee street, and consulted, free of charge, the Plant Juice Specialist. After following his instructions, and using Plant Juice for two days, says Mr. Smith, yesterday morning at 10:30, a monstrous parasite passed from my system, alive.
Plant Juice remedies are the medicines that have been producing such wonderful results for the chronic sufferer in this city for the past six weeks, and on account of the hundreds that are inquiring regarding Plant Juice remedies, the business manager, Mr. Daniel Leyh, has placed a full and complete line of the remedies at the Central Drug Store, located at Second and Broadway. You will find the Plant Juice chemist at the above drug store during the hours from 2 to 5 p. m. Office tent on Second and Okmulgee, during hours from 9 to 12 a. m. Free vaudeville show will continue indefinitely every evening at the above named location. The free show that is pleasing hundreds. The show that makes you want to see it every night. The latest and most popular songs are sung to the pleased multitude and masses of people. The very best dancing and music, the greatest ventriloquist the world has ever produced, Little Henry, known as "The Globe Trotter," accompanied by Punch and Judy and the entire family and many other laughable and entertaining features too numerou to mention, with a new program each and every night.
A WHITE MAN ATTACKS A NEGRO BOY.
Wellston, Okla., June 15.—Because Dennie Henderson, a negro, aged eighteen years, accused Henry Grinstaff, white, of stealing groceries from the Elsie farm house, Grinstaff attacked the boy in the Elsie barn this morning, probably fatally cutting him twice. Henderson defended himself with a currycomb, but was overpowered and would have likely been killed had not Elsie interfered.
Prominent negroes of Texas have planned an excursion to Oklahoma from Dallas, and will arrive in Muskogee about August 6. The object of the trip is solely of a business nature, the negroes looking for suitable investments in Oklahoma property. They will remain in Muskogee one day and will then tour the state, visiting the larger towns.

All in the latest youthful styles, as pretty as any mother could fashion with her own hands, and as cheap as any mother could plan them, no matter
MILLIONS BEHIND TURNER
Money Will Not be Spared to Further Cause of the Freedmen.
J. Milton Turner, of St. Louis, who has been in the city more than two weeks is making a determined effort to secure for the Chickasaw and Choctaw freedmen all that is coming to them from the government. A syndicate has been formed which will establish branch offices in various places to get in touch with such freedmen as may be concerned. This syndicate, Mr. Turner says, is backed by some of the leading millionaires of St. Louis. "We have already notified the Interior Department of our purpose," said Mr. Turner, "and we have the money to push the fight. These freedmen should have their rights." Attorney S. T. Wiggins, of Wagoner, is assisting in the case. Eleven thousand circular letters were mailed to freedmen in the Chickasaw and Choctaw nations last Thursday.
BOARD OF REGENTS.
For Colored Blind, Deaf and Orphans' School Appointed.
E. J. Sadler of Guthrie, E. E. McDaniel of South McAlester, and A. E. Patterson of Muskogee, were appointed by Governor Haskell last Tuesday as the board of regents for the Colored Blind, Deaf and Orphans' School at Taft.
Recently the state legislature appropriated thirty-five thousand dollars for the erection of this institution.
S. Douglas Russell, editor of the Western Age, was appointed president of the school by Governor Haskell.

MONTAGUE TO MEXICO.
Will Spend Several Days in San Antonio.
Harry Montague, who left here about two weeks ago to spend a few days with his mother-in-law at Panama, returned with his wife and babe last Monday at noon to begin their journey to Silver City, New Mexico.
They arrived in San Antonio, Texas, last Tuesday night, and will remain there until Sunday, perhaps longer.
Mr. Montague is well known here and has many friends, all of whom wish him well.
While at Panama Harry spent the time fishing and hunting and gathering honey from bee hives.
Mrs. Montague seemed in much better health than when she left here two weeks ago to enjoy a few days of country life.
Their little infant daughter, too, was benefited by the trip to the country and a light of loving pride shown in the gentle mother's eyes as she related the story of little Edith and the milk bowl.
If the climate is agreeable to Mrs. Montague's health, New Mexico will be the future home of this happy little family. But if it is not, the devoted husband will seek other climes until the desired altitude is reached.
BIG DAY AT RENTIESVILLE
People of Muskogee and Checotah Attend.
Last Sunday marked the sixth annual celebration at Rentiesville, known as the Robinson anniversary.
The occasion was the celebration of the sixth pastorial year of Rev. N. A. Robinson, the present mayor of Rentiesville, over the First Baptist church of that town.
It is said that more than ninety dollars were raised for the benefit of the church, much of which was given by people from Muskogee and Checotah. The fol-
lowing named people were present from Muskogee:
Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Turner.
A larger number were present from Checotah but their names have not been learned.

Food for Thought
Food for thought.
The ten-year-old girl who conquered a burglar with a broomstick is entitled to all credit for courage and vigor. Nevertheless when she adds a dozen years more to her age the wary unmarried youth may entertain doubts as to whether her energy might not some time be excessive for wedded bliss.
The Horrid Man's Curl.
"There's no sight so pitiful to me," said the pretty girl, "as the painful attempt on the part of the man beginning to be bald to make a little curl in the middle of his forehead of the few remaining strands of hair. And still, I know they don't deserve my pity. I never have found a man yet with such a curl who wasn't horrid."
Proof That Dreams Come True
"Yes'm, I'm goin' to move to tomorrow," said Bertha, the colored wash-erwoman. "Yes'm, I knew it isn't week. I dreamt it. Whenovah I begins to dream of packin' my trunk and gettin' ready to go somewhere, the knawd, he comes the very next week to' the rent. Yes'm, I'm goin' to move to tomorrow."
Domestic Economy.
They had automobiled in 24 miles to see Mr. Highflyer's pet owllet, and on the return three tires, one after another, had blown up. Whereupon Mrs. Highflyer remarked, plainly, and with intense conviction: "My dear Alfred, it would have been so much cheaper to have kept you at home and bought you a glass eye!"
Real Estate.
"If you have the credulity to think your face is clean after you have carried it all over New York," said the business woman, "put a lot of cold cream on it, then wipe it off with a clean cloth. The amount of genuine soil you will find on that cloth will fill you with astonishment."—New York Press.
"Taking the Waters."
It is the regimen that thins. I remember asking a leading physician at Marienbad whether he really believed in the claim that those famous waters reduce the weight of the fat people who imbibe them. He smiled and said: "Perhaps they may act as a dissolvent."—London Truth.
The Need of the World.
The world must return some day to the word duty, and be done with the word reward. There are no rewards and plenty of duties. And the sooner a man sees that and acts upon it like a gentleman or a fine old barbarian, the better for himself.—Robert Louis Stevenson.
Heaven on Earth.
Heaven consists of desiring, from the heart, good for others more than for one's self, and in serving them with a view to their happiness, not from any selfish aim of obtaining remarriage, but out of love.—Swedenborg.

Making Shoes.
Picture a herd of 8,300 kids and goats, 407 horses and colts, 700 calves and 488 steers. Then think that the skins and hides of all these animals supply one shoe factory in America with enough leather for only a single day.
Word from Br'er Williams
"I got lots ter be thankful fer in ils oll' worl." Outside er d rhemaus 'tism, an' de broke-bone fever, an' de fall chills, an' de winter missery, I am' got a alment on de face er de airth!" — Exchange
Greatly Exaggerated.
Although the correspondent who says zinc coffins have been remarkably popular in Vienna has an established reputation for veracity, it is impossible not to feel that he has exaggerated — Louisville Courier-Journal.
Chinese Using Modern Umbrellas.
The Chinese are giving up the use of their old oiled-paper umbrellas, and a great number of foreign made umbrellas are used, of which Germany and Japan supply the bulk.
Wealth and Dishonesty
If dishonesty always brought richese fewer candidates would consider it worth while to bid for the votes of the plain people.
Rock and Rye.
Many a man has been wrecked on the rock of adversity, but there is generally a little rye on the side—Philadelphia Record.
The Peril of Reformers.
Many a reformer perishes in the removal of rubbish and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.—R. W. Emerson, in "New England Reformers."
Greek Mythology.
In Greek mythology, Narcissus is a beautiful youth, a son of Cephissus, and the nymph Liriope metamorphosed into a flower. For his insensibility to love he was caused, by Nemesis, to fall in love with his own image reflected in the water. Unable to grasp the shadow, he pined away and became the flower which bears his name. The nymph Echo, who valyly loved him, died of grief.

FACTS.
Some negroes are disposed to hide and lie for the criminal negro. This is wrong and brings an accusation against the whole race that they help protect crime. We should assist the officers in apprehending all criminals, black or white. Neither the white or black outlaw should receive aid at our hands.

It is true the Law and Order League handed the republican party a lemon in the spring election. The republican candidates were on their knees to the political parsons, the democrats paid no attention to them, and the democrats won. Now, the political parson and his outfit are trying to run the city and the democrats are paying no attention to them. For once we must say the democrats are right.
The bootlegging is so profitable that the selling of booze is not confined to dives. There are many private residences whose heads are supposed to be pillars in de church that have gone into the nefarious calling. Whiskey bloats and women of easy virtue can be seen in the dead hours of the night slipping to these residences and carrying away the contrabrand. This evil must stop. It's bad enough for dives to run in the downtown district, but the residence part shall not be contaminated. A halt must be made or the officers will be asked to raid these private dives.

There should be and will be a cleaning up of the dives on South Second street. They are a menace to good government and the worst advertisement the town can have. Located as they are near the Frisco and Midland Valley depots, they advertise us to the stranger who comes here as being a city of joints and as first impressions are lasting, it certainly gives us an unenviable reputation. These low dens should be eliminated are made to locate elsewhere or on some back street or alley. A prominent business street should not be given up to such traffic. They
are absolutely causing property to lessen in value and drive away respectable business.
The low dive must go and respectable business will take its place. Put the bootlegger on the run; he is an undesirable citizen.
Church members who make brothels of their homes, pretended Christians who are peddling whiskey, and preachers who fail to condemn these pretended followers of the lowly Nazarine are all in the same boat and not worth their room in phito. Hell is so full of such religious thugs that their legs stick out the fire doors.
T. A. Barnett and his new wife were arrested Wednesday; the charge is bigamy. Barnett married before the six months had expired from the date of the trial for divorce.
The Cimeter has been handed several lemons and attempts to give us the double cross and threats to put us out of biz., but not even the Western Newspaper Union, with all its power, can do it, and the other d----little ungrateful cusses can never do it.
Some fellows play their politics like novices, but all of them play the negro but the negro is waking up and there will be h----to play when he fully awakes.

Creager is making good down at the National Capital. The fellows down here who have the congressional bee buzzing should set up and take notice. Fact is there is nothing doing, gentlemen, better put up your lightning rod for some other plum.

The republican organization is not in as good shape as it might be. Fact is, there must be a reorganization in the city as the present one is not worth a d—— by a d—— and a half.

Dear Sir: This will inform you that there has been an addition to the incorporated town of Bristow, known as Lincoln Heights, in which our people have an opportunity to secure lots on reasonable terms. Lots can be had from $25 up, with a small cash payment, and the balance to suit the circumstances of the purchaser.
A district school has been built and the Creek Baptist High School is in the course of erection with several other buildings. Those who buy now will get in on the ground floor. The water is fine and a good agricultural opportunity is open to all.
Prospecting for oil began a few days ago, and, I think, the future is bright for this section. Any inquiries pertaining to this section will be cheerfully answered by the undersigned. Long live the Cimeter and its editor. Fraternally yours, J. H. HAMILTON.

"THE JIM CROW NEGRO"
Get rid of the Jim "Crow"
Negro and then we shall get rid of the "Jim Crow" cars. The so-called advocate and defenders of the Negro against "Jim Crowism" ought to go South and seat themselves in one of the "Jim Crows" or one of the cars set apart for the Negro.
There you will see the "Jim Crow" Negro in all his glory
He will not only insult you, but they will fight among themselves and assault one another. You will see the "Jim Crow" Negro in this city, riding to and from excursion boats.
The Bee is confident that that these advocates have seen them in their glory, using profane language, many of the male and females with their arms around each other's shoulders. If a respectful person enters the car he more or less is insulted.
Conditions South are worse. Many a respectful Negro has been threatened with bodily harm by these "Jim Crow" Negroes while riding South. A gentleman cites an incident that while going South to Flordia, accompanied by his wife. The y were compelled to ride in a "Jim Crow" car. A little below North Carolina a crowd of "Jim Crow" Negroes entered the car, filled with whiskey: their pocket also contained bottles of the

corn juice. One of the men approached this man and his wife and demanded him to drink from his bottle. Of course he took the bottle and pretended that he was drinking his whiskey. This satisfied the crowd and one of number declared, O! he's all right. Had not the traveler accepted the hospitalites of the "Jim Crow Negro there would have been trouble. All the agitation, public demonstrations will not eliminate the "Jim Crow" cars until we eliminate the "Jim Crow" Negro. The young Negro of today is the dangerous element in society. The more he is restrained, the more dangerous he becomes to society. It is the element from the South that is monopolizing this city, thus reflecting upon the better element of citizens. - Ex
