ODD FELLOWS MEETING AT OKMULGEE ONE OF NOTE Muskogee Man Is Grand Master and Brings the Next Grand Lodge Home. Delegates and Visitors Made to Feel Welcome In the Old Creek Capital. M. B. JUSTICE E. D. JEFFERSON Who was elected D. G. M. with two strong men opposing him. VOL. XII Watch for Our ODD FELLO OKM Muskogee Man the Nex Delegates and V The third annual meeting of the consolidated Grand Lodge No. 35 of the G. U. O. O. of Oklahoma which met at Orkulugee July 24th and 25th was a marked success. Grand Master J. E. Toombs was at all times in absolute control of the situation and was ever ready with his winsome courtesy to set at naught any question that seemed to threaten the peacefulness of the meeting. It was due to his masterful tactics of conducting the meeting that all the MRS. FLORENCE BANKS. Wife of Dr. L. M. Banks, a prominent dentist of this city who has received a commission from Gov. Cruce sending her as a delegate to the National Negro Educational Convention which meets at Denver this month. This is a signal honor for Mrs. Banks. Amnog the speakers to appear there is William T. Lewis, assistant U. S. attorney general. business of the Grand Lodge was completed in two days and the delegates returned to their homes at least 24 hours earlier than they had planned. The morning session began at nine o'clock and the Grand Master proceeded at once to business. A committee on credentials was appointed after which about an hour was spent in short speeches from delegates telling of the conditions of their respec The Muskogee Cimeter. tive Lodges. Prof. F. J. Gordon of this city lead in the speach making, followed by H. Gaston, Chickkasa; Alex Ivery, McAlester; B. G. Smith, Oklahoma City; R. H. Claypool, Round Hill; Dr. J. E. White, Boey; Dr. J. M. White, Okmuglee; J. H. Napier, Eufaula, Prof. Austin, F. Cole, Wilburton; J. L. Logan, Luther; Bumpus, Wagoner; H. Childers, Colbert; Wm. Ezell, Haskell; and Dr. Serratt of Porter. Prof. Cole of Wilburton was then elected Ass. Grand Secretary, and J. W. Lane of McAlester, made a short talk on the history of the order and was followed by Deputy Grand Master E. D. Jefferson of this city. After the committees on the Grand Masters address and Insurance were appointed Grand Master Toombs delivered his annual address which was full of valuable recommendations and information. In his address Mr. Toombs told of the hardships he had born, the time and money he had spent to save the name of the order in this state when it was published in the newpapers that the Old Fellows had no right to do business in Oklahoma, and showed how through the unplugging efforts he had succeeded in saving the order from the threatened imperial Reference was made to the conduct of Joshua Nichols of Guthrie in the G. M's address and for a time after Nichols had been permitted to reply to that hart of the address touching his conduct in certain irregularities, it seemed that a strong feeling was about to be engendered against Nichols for irregularities as an Odd Fellow, but the Grand Master was too much of a diplomat for that and after the lashing and scolding thus openly administered in a Grand Lodge meeting the wayward brother was allowed to go free. Among other things the Grand Master recommended in his address that the meeting of the Grand Lodge be changed from annual to bi-annual meetings; that the office of Grand Lecturer be abolished and that a special tax of 20c. per member be assessed in all local Lodges for Grand Lodge. Each of his recommendations were acted upon favorably by the Grand Lodge, much to the advantage of the order in the future. Grand Master Toombs closed his annual address with an interesting review of his 8 years service at the head of the Odd Fellows in this state and in a flow of eloquence he MUSKOGEE, OKLA., AUGUST 5, 1911 THE WOMEN'S WORKS The nightengale of Muskogee who captured the citizens of Okmulgee by her singing at a public meeting of the Odd Fellows and at a musical recital there. begged to hand back to the brethren the same office they had entrusted to his keeping 8 years ago free from stain, untarnished, cleaned. He expressed his determination not to be a candidate for Grand Master again, but offered himself to serve in any other capacity. After the G. M's, address other committees were appointed and the reports from committees already appointed heard. This consumed nearly an hour and at the end of that time adjournment was taken for dinner. The reports of the various depart MISS BEATRIC The nightengale of Muskogee who by her singing at a public meeting recital there. ments showed a slight increase of business over that of last year. The Endowment department showed $1,000 more business for 1911 over that of 1910. The Endowment Treasurers report showed that he hod received $4,544.45 and had paid out $4,533.70, eaving a balance of $699.75. A resolution making a special endowment assessment of $1,00 for each member of the craft to be paid not later than the 1st of December was passed as was also another increasing the endowment to $300.00. This practically disposed of the first days work. Tuesday evening an interesting program was rendered which was enjoyed by a full and appreciative audience, as follows: Literary Program 8 p. m. Master of Ceremony, J. T. Supples. Music—Make Your Life a Song, by the choir. Prayer, Rev. H. Jones. Music—Come With Singing, by the choir. Welcome from the Order, Rev. P. Pruitt.

Remarks by Grand Master, Rev. J. E. Toombs. Pianists: Mrs. S. Whitfield, Mrs. M. D. Brookins. Just before the Grand Master's remarks a pleasant surprise was sprung on the audience. Miss Beatrice Johnson of this city had given a recital in Okmulgee on Monday night, July 24, and remained there until Wednesday. She attended the public meeting of the Odd Fellows Tuesday night and when her presence was discovered she was immediately interviewed and induced to sing. Now when one goes out expecting to see and hear a well trained vocatist or a prima dona he carries his musical intelligence with him and the performers very best efforts rarely exceeds, if indeed it reaches his expectations. But if one should go out to a public Odd Fellow meeting not even dreaming of any musical treats aside from selections from the church choir and amid these surroundings should see and hear the famous Black Patti, great indeed would be his surprise and greater his appreciation. So it was when Miss Johnson appeared and in a clear unfaltering voice sang "Coming Through The Rye." While she sang, not a murmur was heard, but when she had finished the old familiar song the house literally roared with applause, and the encore continued until she returned to the rostrum and again held her audience spell-bound while she sang: Prof. Johnson, her brother, accom- panied her on the piago. Thus ended the first day of the ses- sion. Wednesday was the final day. Promptly at 9 o'clock the sounds of the gavel was heard and the waiting CE JOHNSON captured the citizens of Okmulgee of the Odd Fellows and at a musical delegates filed in eager to complete the days work. During the morning session a committee was received from the Household of Ruth bearing a message of good will and God speed. In the afternoon the Grand Lodge met in joint session with the Household of Ruth with Mrs. E. Wade of this city, presiding as Most Noble District Governess. Quite a fight was occasioned in this meeting by a resolution introduced by Dr. Conrad of Guthrie which admits all women over 40 years into the Endowment department although the general law prohibits it, provided they are already members in good standing in Local Lodges and can pass satisfactory physical examination within 30 days from the setting of the Grand Lodge. This resolution was vigorously opposed by J. W. Sharp of this city and others, but after one or two amendments it was finally passed. Immediately after adjournment of this joint session a ten minutes recess was taken during which time "dope" was made for the pending election. The candidates for Grand Master were Rev. Buchanan of Guthrie, J. J. Lane of McAlester, and Justice E. D. Jefferson, of this city. It was rumored prior to election that Mr. Sharp of this city would run for the office but when he was put in nomination he gracefully declined and made a strong speech for E. D. Jefferson who had already been nominated, in a flowery speech by Prof. F. J. Gordon. Rev. Buchanan and Lane fought well but their forces were not suf EVERYBODY CAN EAT AT MORRIS CAFE 305 South Second St. SHORT ORDERS AT ALL HOURS HOT CATFISH Go Where You Are Wanted Phone 3157 Muskogee, Oklahoma ficient to break down the popularity of their opponent who was easily elected by a vote that nearly equalled all the votes cast for both Lane and Buchanan. Mr. Jefferson is the only negro in Oklahoma who, in spite of the Grand father clause, is holding an elective office and at that under a democratic administration. That he is a determined fighter was amply and effectively demonstrated when the democrats took the office from him and gave it to a white man. Instead of submitting to what seemed the inevitable this negro with his knowledge of the law entered the REV. J. E. TOOMBS Past G. M. who was elected Endowment Secretary without opposition. courts and under the very law which sought to rob him not only of his office but of his franchise, he wrenched it from their hands, re seated himself as justice of the peace and is today hoding court for the peace of Agency township, Muskogee County, Oklahoma. So it happened that the Odd Fellows have at the steering wheel a man who has the grit the push and ability to Do Things. Following are the names of the officers elected: D. G. M.—E. D. Jefferson, Muskogee Deputy G. M.—C. A. Buchanan, Guthrie. G. Secretary.—J. S. Dawson, El Reno. Grand Treasurer.—Dr. J. E. White, Okmulgge. Endowment Secretary.—Rev. J. E. Toombs, Guthrie. Endowment Treasurer.—Wm. Mckey, Tulsa. Gradn Auditors.—Dr. A. C. Jackson, Guthrie, J. W.Puttus, McAlester and F. J. Gordon, Muskogee. The next Grand Lodge meeting will be held in Muskogee. One could hardly think of the success of this Grand Lodge meeting without recalling the generous hospitality extended the delegates and visitors by the good people of Okmulgee. The doors of every colored home in the town was thrown wide open and the guests made welcome to everything. Robbers Blew Up Bank Robbers Blew Up Bank The Bank of Taft was blown up Tuesday night by yggmen in an attempt to get the money kept there, but the timely appearance of young Stout Ham on the scene with a good rifle which he used to good advantage, frightened the men away, Mr. Colter, of this city, president of the bank, speaks very highly of Ham and others at Taft who helped to save the money.

The above report shows the action of the three disinterested judges who selected the most appropriate name from a long list submitted for the new addition to Muskogee, just north of Reeves addition.

BAKED APPLES WITH NUTS Method of Preparing Fruit Furnishes Agreeable Change for Appetites That Are Palled. Black walnuts, butternuts or hickory nuts are best for this. For a half-dozen large apples a cupful and a half of nutmeats will be required, with a tablespoonful of sugar allowed for each apple. Chop the nutmeats fine and add to the sugar. Core large, fine apples and fill the cavities with the sugar and nuts. Place them in a dripping pan, not too close; pour a cup of boiling water into the pan and bake in a quick oven until the apples are tender, but not broken. Take up carefully into a glass dish, pour the juice in the pan over them, and, by the way, the baking should not be done in tin, which darkens both apples and juice. Whip the whites of two eggs to a stiff froth, and three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, flavor with lemon or vanilla and garnish the apples with this. A preserved cherry set on the center of each meringue makes a pretty color effect. BOX FOR SUNNING ARTICLES This is a box having panes of glass set in as seen in the picture. It is made any size, and the top is opened by three hinges (a, b, c), and knob at d. The bottom is slightly slanted for draining, which runs at (e). All the articles get a good sunning and are kept from gathering dust or any floating matter. About nine panes of glass makes a good size. Baked Calves' Head. Wash the head and place in a large earthen dish, on large iron skewers, laid across the top of the dish; cover it with breadcrumbs, grated nutmeg, chopped sweet herbs, a little fine-cut lemon and flour; thick pieces of butter in the eyes and all over the head, then flour it again; put in the dish a piece of beef, cut small; herbs, an onion, pepper, mace, cloves, a pint of water and bake the head a fine brown. Boll the brains with sage, separately. When the head is done enough take it out and set by the fire to keep warm, then stir all in the dish together and boll in a stew pan; strain it off, put it in the saucepan again with a piece of butter rolled in flour, the brains and sage chopped fine, a spoonful of catsup and two spoons of wine. Beat well together and serve in the dish with the head. Leave the tongue in the head. Peach Dumpline. One and one-half cupfuls of flour, one and one-half level teaspoonfuls baking powder, one teaspoonful butter, one-half cupful milk and three peaches. Sift together the flour and baking powder; work in the butter with fingers, add milk, roll about one-half inch thick. Peel the peaches, cut in halves and remove stones; cut the dough into rounds large enough to inclose the peach halves; place in a buttered steamer and cook over boiling water 20 minutes. Serve with cream sauce. Sauce—One egg, one cupful sugar; one-half cupful thin cream, one-third cupful milk, one-half teaspoonful vanilla; beat the white of egg until stiff; add the well-beaten yolk; beat in sugar gradually. Dilute the cream with milk; beat until stiff and add the vanilla; add to first mixture. This is delicious. Ideal Apple Pie. Pare seven medium-sized apples and core and set them round in a saucepan with one cup of sugar and a teaspoon of lemon juice in water to cover them. Cover and cook slowly until the apples are so soft that they can be pierced with a fine skewer. They must not be soft enough to break. Take up carefully with a wire spoon or skimmer and put into a deep pie lined with rich paste rolled thin. Fill the centers with peach or quince marmalade and put narrow strips of paste across the top, crossing them to make diamonds. Bake in a quick open, and when barely cool serve with whipped cream. Marshmallow Fudge. If your marshmallows get a little stale before using try making marshmallow fudge. Put two cups granulated sugar and one cup milk in a saucepan and let the mixture come to a boil. Add one square and a half chocolate, grated, and two tablespoonfuls butter. Cook about ten minutes, then remove from the fire and beat until the fudge gets rather stiff, but not so stiff that it will not pour easily. Break marshmallows into several pieces, place in the bottom of a dish and pour the fudge over them. Orange Omelet. Half the rind of an orange grated finely and three tablespoonfuls of orange juice. Beat separately the yolks and whites of three eggs. Sweeten with three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar. Add the sugar, and rind and juice to the eggs. Stir in the whites and turn onto a hot buttered omelet pan. When a golden brown, fold and serve on a hot dish. First Published Aug. 5, 1911.

CRUCE SAVED NEGRO'S LIFE At the Last Moment the Governor Intervened to Save Colored Youth from Gallows. "If mercy is shown to anyone it should be shown to the weak rather than the strong. Had this o.ense been committed by a white boy eighteen years of age, I would have received thousands and thousands of etters petitioning me for clemency; as it is the o.ense was committed by a negro without friends and without parents, who has no fair opportunity to make a man of himself by any training that he might have received; a member of an inferior and despised race, and now as the hour of doom approaches there is not one voice raised in his behalf. "Oklahoma City has been in existence more than twenty-one years; during that time there have been many, many crimes that were as atrocious as the one committed by this negro, and up to this time only one person has paid the penalty for his o ense with the sacrifice of his life, and that was a negro. Many white men have been guilty of an equally grave o ense, and have been permitted to go with a life sentence in the penitentiary, or a sentence of less duration. "I believe that every end of justice will have been met by confining this boy to imprisonment for life, and I so decree. I am commuting his sentence to life imprisonment. In doing so I realize that I will call down upon my head the indignation and criticism of tens of thousands of the best citizenship of this state, but be that as it may—I am doing what my conscience tells me should be done, and I had rather live, feeling that I had done this boy and his race no wrong, than to have the commendation and applause of every citizen of this universe. "Yours truly, LEE CRUCE, Governor. The above is a part of the letter from Gov. Cruce to the sheriff of Oklahoma County, explaining his action in commuting the sentence of John Henry Phather from death to life imprisonment. Whatever the "best citizenship of this state" or any other state may think it must be admitted that Lee Cruce is governor, that he has a mind of his own and has the courage to follow the dictates of his conscience. The governors action in Prather's case may have made him many enemies, but it has also made him many friends. But above all the governor has the inward satisfaction of knowing that he did what he believed to be right. And one man in the right will finally become a majority. Long live Governor Cruce. To Clean Irons When irons begin to grow rough and smoky rub them well on a board on which has been sprinkled a little fine salt. This will prevent them from sticking to starched articles, and will make them quite smooth. It is a good plan to rub each iron on the board before putting it back to heat, so that no starch will remain to be burnt on. When ironing starched things rub the flats over with a cloth slightly moistened with paraffine before using. It makes them slip over the surface like marble. For Gaping Vents. Here is a simple but excellent remedy for gaping skirt plackets, an untidy condition which it is hard to avoid after the skirt has become stretched from sitting in it. Before sewing on the hook place underneath it a piece of tape or ribbon at least as wide as the hook itself. Sow securely and then stretch the tape over to the next seam and tack flat, being careful to have the tape just the same length as the space of the skirt between the seam and the back opening. When the skirt is closed it will stay firm and neat.

Would Be Better for Children If School Stores Sold Gingerbread Rather than "Tootey Rolle" and Other Confections The popularity of gingerbread among the small fry has greatly waned. It would be far better for the children if the school stores sold this dainty rather than the "tootty rolla" and other penny confections, and if these same children could say, "Of all the cakes my mammie bakes give me good gingerbread." It is good and good for them and grownups, too, especially those who are taking on too much flesh. Poor Hepzibal Pyncheon's first customer to her little shop in "The House of Seven Gables" was a small boy attracted by a Jim Crow if the window, executing his renowned dance," in gingerbread. "Shakespeare makes one of his clowns say: "An I had but a penny in the world thou shouldst have it to buy gingerbread." In several countries of Europe hot gingerbread used to be hawked about. In London there were gingerbread boots by the Thames. In Holland it was in greater request than elsewhere, and its manufacture guarded with a jealous secret and the recipe handed down as an heirloom from father to son. One of the most unique uses of the hard ginger cake was to have it as a barometer. These were made in the form of a man or woman. The slightest change in atmosphere has an effect on hard gingerbread; the slightest moisture makes it soft. In dry weather it is hard and tough. In a French story this barometer is called the "General." Each morning the master asks his servant, "What does the general say?" The man applies his thumb to the figure and says: "The general feels flabby about the chest; you'd better take your umbrella." There are many entertaining facts about gingerbread in some of the curiosities of English literature. Soft Gingerbread—Mix together one-half cup of brown sugar and a scant half cup of meat drippings. Add one egg well beaten, one-half cup of light New Orleans molasses and a half teaspoon each of ginger and cinnamon. Into one-half cup of boiling water stir one even teaspoon of soda. Fold in one and one-half cups of sifted flour. Bake with a slow fire for half an hour, if baked in a sheet, or a little less if in muffin pans. Serve warm. Gingerbread I—one-half cup of sugar, one-half cup of molasses, one-half cup of sour milk, one-third cup of butter and lard mixed, scant teaspoon of soda, one egg, teaspoon cinnamon, one-half teaspoon cloves, one-half of ginger, and two cups of flour. One-third of this is sufficient for a meal. Gingerbread. II — Cream one-half cup of brown sugar with one-half cup of lard and butter mixed. Add one teaspoon of molasses, stir two even teaspoons of soda in one cup of boiling water, then add two and one-half cups of flour and spices to taste. Lastly, add two well beaten eggs. Chicken and Salt Pork Singe a young chicken, remove pin feathers, cut off the neck on a line with top of the wing bones; cut the chicken down through the backbone and clean on the inside, wash and dry both inside and out, flatten the breast with a cleaver; in a double roasting pan lay several thin slices of fax salt pork, on these lay the chicken, skin side up, dredge with flour and lay over the top several thin slices of pork, turn in half empful of hot water or broth, cover and let cook one hour and three-fourths; baste several times with the dripping in the pan, dredge with flour after each basting, more broth may be added if needed. Cannelion of Beet. Chop the remains of yesterday's beef, mix with 1/4 of a pound of minced ham, season with pepper, salt, grated lemon peel and a little onion; moisten with yesterday's gravy with a little flour stirred in and bind with a beaten egg or two; make some pie paste or such as you would use for dumplings, roll into an oblong sheet, put the beef mince in the middle and make the pastry in a long roll, closing the meat; close at ends with round caps of pastry, the edges pinched well together; lay in a dripping pan, the joined side of the roll downward and bake to a good brown.

"Not nearly so successful as I was in the ordering of them," he confessed. At our new location on Broadway, just east of Main.
