The Perry Democrat say?
gold-bug papers take great pleasure
in spreading broad-cast the state-
ment that Mr. Bryan charges for
his speeches. This is especially true
in Iowa where there is a spirited
campaign in progress. To refute
these statements Mr. C. A. Walsh
Chairman of the Democratic Central
Committee has published the facts
in the case so far as Mr. Bryan and
Iowa are concerned Mr. Walsh says:
"In view of false statements now
heing industriously circulated by the
Republican press in Iowa and else-
wnere that Mr. Bryan is being paid
for his campaign in this state, I wish
to say, lirst that Mr. Bryan paid his
own expenses in coming here. Sec-
ond, that he insisted on paying his
own expenses while here, but this I
would not permit. Third, that he
has made a most liberal eash contro-
bution to the campaign fund in Iowa.
1 characterize as absolutely untrue
the statement that he was paid for
his services. Heisnotpaid one cent
state
or local committees either to him di-
rect or any other person for him.
The papers publishing these matters
have said that his speeches at fai-s
and elsewhere commanded $500 each,
if this be true, they should give him
credit, in addition to his cash dona-
tion t., our fum , tor a contribution
to the cause in Iowa of at least $9,000
for he makes eightetn speeches in
this compaign. Further, I have per-

fact that they

filled with eating sores; my tongue was

months I was unable to taste any solid

OUR HOG PAYS THE BILL.
The hog grows cheapest on the
pasture and beside the field that
grow his grains. He is most profit-
able as a subordinate department,
because he cannot consume the
... ...^ „llu uuniii* 1 coarse fodders of the farm. He fur-
ited coinage of silver at the ratioof I nishes the best market in which to

tains. When he received the newsj dairy. He assimulates more of
that his dear party had adopted a
solid gold standard plank in its plat-
form. he.immediatley crawled into his
abode and staid there until after the
election He deliberately deserted
the principles he had been advocating
and teaching the people, and, walked
to the polls and voted for the gold
bug champion, McKinley.
This simply shows that Townsend
thinks more of his party than lie does
of his country: that he thinks more of
securing an office than he does of his
own conscientious convictions;that his
mind is steeped with political chican-
ery and that he believes most any
kind of ways and means adoped in
politics to secure an office are justifi-
able. McKinley has just rewarded
him for his treachery to the people of
his state and his loyalty to their en-
emies. This man Townsend could not
be elected road overseer In Colorado,
hence, he Is sent down among the In-
dians at the salary of 13,000 per year.
A man who followed his party when
he knew it was wrong, Is not lit for a
judge as his dear party is liable to get
a decision against open justice any
time, and there are several hundred
office seekers in Oklahoma just like
Hosia Townsend. They believe In the
free coinage of silver but believe in
getting office much more.
The yellow fever in the south and
the quarantine resulting therefrom
has knocked the cotton markets to
pieces. Hail roads will not accept cot-
ton for shipment to New Orleans now
as the rules of the quarantine officers
prevent a train crew from returning.
Thus all cotton is shipped subject to
delay.
The poor country newspaper editor
is never robbed except by his profes-

the most concentrated feed

farm. Quicker returns come from
him than from horses, cattle or
sheep. He pays the rents in Euro-
pean countries, lifts the mortgages
in the Northern states, and in con-
junction with the cow he will redeem
the wornout cotton todacco fields of
the South. Avoid permanent resi-
dences for the hog; move him about,
so that his environments may be
clean and uncontaminated by germs
that develop rapidly where they have
suitable media. Avoid close breed-
ing, as it intensities predisposition
to disease. Select your breeding
from good milkers, as this is the best
indication of fecundy.
No agricultural people thrive who
buy grain or meats and pay for them
with the price of other farm pro-
ducts.
We compete now, through improv-
ed and cheapening transportation,
with all the world. The farmer is
the most independent who finds at
least sustenance for his family from
his fields, (locks and herds.—Prof,
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture.
RIF HOWL.
The Wichita Eagle of Sunday was
full of howl over Mr. Brj-an receiving
$2,400 for making two speeches- in
Wichita last Friday. Well, what of
it? Mr. Bryan's contract called for
per cent of the gate receipts and
he bound the fair association people
not to'charge over the us :ai admis-
sion fee. Now, if Mr. Bryan received
$2,400 the association must have
cleared $4,800 out of the visit of Mr.
Bryan to Wichita hence the appear-
ance of the great commonrr at Wich
ita was a very profitable investment
for the people of that city, hence he
should be praised inst .ad of con-
demned. The tiO.OOO people who vis-
ited Wichita to see and hear Bryan
are not kicking at the money they
paid for the privilege, neither are
the people of Wichita, but it is the
duty of a hide bound republican
sheet to make.a little derogatory pol-
itical capital out of it against the
man who is determined to snow the
republican party under.
The yellow fever at New Orleans
and the necessary quarantine has en-
Jured the wheat trade as well as the
cotton.
Another week has began with Its
uuuterable oceans of trouble, orrow
and Joy.
When Benjamin Franklin wrote
"A penny saved is a penny earned," I
imagine that he did not mean a penny
skimped from our daily living or from
our necessities. That Is not "a penny
saved." in the best sense; it is a penny
stolen from yourself. A penny saved,
is a penny rescued from waste. An
hour taken from needed sleep is not an
hour saved, but an hour stolen; an
hour taken from idle gossip and turn-
ed to some good account—that is an
hour saved. And it is the same way
with our money and our products.
There is no economy in self-denial,
it is the duty of every man and women
to live the fullest and best life possi-
ble: to get the most they cati out of
life; to nourish the body and mind
and soul, and to develop them to the
highest possible degree. This cannot
be done by "skimping." A fuller
freer life is what we need. Economy
is necessary, but we must not mistake
what economy is. We must save the
wastes; stop the leaks, but having
saved, we must put our savings to
some good use, else we are like the
miser with his gold, a detriment to
society Instead of a good.
THE PENN MAN.
>n .las. J. Powers, who has suc-
ceeded Judge King as receiver of the
Ferry land office is a native of Ro-
chester, Pa., and has occupied sever-
al positions of official trust under the
government as well as conducting
his profession of civil engineer.—Per-
ry Enterprise.
It is said that the gentleman is red
headed and looks like Steve Elkins
and Senator Quay both. He com-
plains of the hands extended to him
in Perry: they give him the chills.
The local republican pullers, who
think their government should pro-
vide them with a job apiece, had
their photos taken in a group the
other day. Charley Parker is decid-
edly the handsomest statesman in the
cluster. Postmaster Buckles will be
readily recognized in theipicture by a
clean collar and the corn cob pipe
odor of his breath.
It is said by all who visited the
Kansas State Fair at Wichita, that
Oklahoma's fruit display beat any
other display on the ground, and we
understand that Arkansas, Nebraska,
Kansas and Iowa were represented
do nothing, as the shooting took place
and all parties concerned lived across
the line in Blaine county. It seems
a man named H. F. Horn, a home-
stead settler, had loaded two wagons
with wheat to bring to Kingfisher for
sale. He drove one team and a man
named Hall the other. They had not
driven a mile when they were fired on
from ambush, two out of five shots
took effect in Horn's person.
He was evidently the man the
shooters were after, as Hall was
not touched. One oall from a pistol
entered Horn's back, under the left
shoulder blade, passing upward
through his body, traversing the left
lung and stopped, probably against a
rib, in front. Another ball made a
flesh wound in the right hand, near
the wrist. They were some distance
from the house of C. F. Corbett, but
managed to drive near there and
Horn with Hall walked from the road
to Corbett's house, called the fat.iily
out of bed and placed the wounded
man undercare of the Corbetts. The
physicians could not locate the ball
exactly, as they did not dare probe
the wound, through the lung. Horn
says five shots were fired and that
there were five persons in the IClu
Klux Klan, three of whom he recog-
nized and named as Fred Andrews,
Leo Hawkins and Bill Snelling. The
other two he did not identify. On
Sunday Horn's wife, who was in
Kingfisher when the affair happened,
went to see her husband, nine miles
north or Omega and wanted to bring
him back with her, but Horn and his
physicians thought he could not bear
the trip, so she returned here. Horn
had to be kept in a reclining position,
as he could breath in no other. Of
course their is a history dating be-
yond this, involving the older An-
drews, Mrs. Horn and H. F. Horn.
She was formerly Andrews wife, but
left him on account of cruelty ana
got a divorce about a year ago and
afterwards married Horn. Andrews
accuses Horn of alienation her affec
tions and it is alleged, threatened to
kill him if lie ever came back to his
homestead. Horn was arrested Nov-
ember_ 25, 189t>, and kept in jail a
month in Kingfi sher on a charge of
adulterv on complaint of Andrews.
Mrs. Horn was soon arrested but soon
released. Horn has been absent from
his claim since about last December,
on a leave of absence running until
next January, to avoid trouble from
Andrews and his friends, but returned
lately to look after some crops and
other interests. He had intended to
prove up and filed application for
that purpose, but since making such
application a contest has been filed
against his homestead by a man
named Wiley.
Tuesday evening about 8:00 o'clock
Horn arrived in.Kingfisher, his.coming
hastened by demonstrations around
Corbett's place the night before, that
showed his persecutors were not satis-
fied. Up to Thursday morning he
showed signsof improvement and with
his strong constitution, will get well
unless blood poisoning sets in. The
County Attorney of Blaine county
took despositions and collected testi-
mony relative to the shooting, last
Monday. So far as known here, no
arrests have been made.
SHOOTING SCRAPE.
Frank Hick . of Perry, Shot John
Selstroni Last Night.
Frank Hicks, who was for some
tiuie a deputy under Marshal Nix,
now deputy sheriff ot Noble county,
shot and probably fatally wounded
John Selstrom, night bartender at the
Blue Bell last night.
As near as can be learned the shoot-
ing was unprovoked, the circum-
stances being about as follows:
When McDonald, the suspected es-
caped Sing Sing convict was arrested
John Selstrom and several others be-
came interested in his case. Selstroni
made a remark at McDonald's pre-
limanarv yesterday which iHicks did
not like, and when Selstrom came on
duty at 5:30 yesterday Deputy Hicks
entered the saloon and became abu-
sive to the harten'ler, when Selstrom
ordered the deputy out < f the saloon,
whereupon the deputy pulled a US-
calibre revolver and shot Selstrom in
the left breast, the ball glancing
around a rib and lodged in the arm.
Deputy Sheriff Chas. Carpenter ar-
rested Hicks and lodged him in the
county jai'. Drs. McKeeby and Cot-
teral extracted the ball from Sel-
strom's arm. He is resting easy to-
day and will probably pull through if
no internal injuries were sustained.—
Guthrie Capital.
HOT BOXES.
.Ye have over heard hot box rt-
publican farmers say that they would
rather pay for their land than to see or
hear of Callahan getting a free home
bill through the present congress.
Such people should he compelled by
special act of congress to pay eight
dollars per acre for their land. When
a man's political prejudice overbal-
lances the common sense given him
by the Creator we would like to see
him taxed to de ltb or in other words,
pay a good round price in exchange
for the damphoolery in his composi-
tion. When Dennis Flynn was work-
ing his transitory free homestruggle
in the congress of the United States
he had the united support and en-
couragement of the Democracy of
Oklahoma and a few sensable pops,
but it would seem from the tenor of
the republican press of this territory
and a few hot republican fools that
t hey think more of republican suc-
cess in the next election than they
do of getting their land free.
For all such the Wave says without
a quiver of it3 leal pencil that they
don't deserve free homes. Callahan
was elected by the people and if
about half of them are going to strain
their nerves to prevent him from do-
ing us some good, they do notdeserve
anything at the hands of a beueficent
government.

SURE THING FARMER.
The sure thing farmer is the man
who farms on the floor of the board
of trade in Chicago. He sows and
reaps a crop every month out of
which he makes untold millions.
The slow going Oklahoma farmer
who only plants one crop a year and
sees that one blown out by unfavor-
able winds is told by the gold-bug
press that the Chicago farmer is
making him rich. But he don't be-
lieve it you can bank on that.—Ex.
a p. d. v. to hanna.
A Kansas farmer has written to
Mark Hanna as follows: Dear Mark
I voted the Repu blican ticket last
fall, and I think I am entitled to
something, What I want is to get a
tip from you whether you are going
to order another famine next year,
and whether you are going to give us
plenty of rain In Kansas. If you arei
I will sow wheat. Answer quick as
my ground Is ready for sowing."
tendent of Public Health of Garfield
county we are anxious that the posi-
tion be fully understood by all.
When a town or city board of health
fails to perform its duty, as a board
of health, by reason of negligence or
a lac* of proper city ordinances, the
| county board of health of the county
wherein such direliction or failure of
duty occurs, shall immediately pro-
ceed to do the work such local board
of health has failed to perform. Lo-
cal boards of health are the wards of
the county boards of health and the
work Is subject to supervision and in-
spection, and when found not consi-
tent with the sanitary rules and re-
gulations of the county and territori-
al boards of health must be corrected
and we sheuld alvise all parents who
have unvancinated children to see
their family physician at once and
have their offspring cared for as it is
not only a duty they owe to them-
selves and children, but also to the
community at large.
Any existing nuisance should be re-
ported at once as preventive is of
greater Importance than treating 1
