Mrs. Bosco, who lives at Vinita, is
the only woman who "eats 'em alive."
She takes the most venemous snakes
iu her necked bands and bites their
heads off. Mrs. Bosco would be
one of the great attractions at the
El Reno celebration on the Fourth.
Attorney Dick Houston of Kingfish-
er, according to the Pond Creek
Daily Vidette, broke into jail at
Woodward last week. Houston's per-
sistence in trying to get possession
of the stolen property taken from
the Sol Temple gang was the cause
of his trouble.
IMPERIALISM.
Justice Harlan of the Supreme
Court of the United States, iu de-
livering a dissenting opinion in the
Porto Rican tariff muddle says: "j
take leave to say that if the priu
ciple now annoumced should e^r re-
ceive the action of a majrioty of this
court, the result would be a radical
and mischievous change in our sys-
tem of government,
"We will in that event, pass from
the era of constitutional liberty,
guarded aud protected by a written
constitution, into an era of legisla-
tive absolutism, iu respect to many
rights dear to all the people who
love freedom.
'•In my opinion, congress has no
existence, no authority outside of
the constitution. Still less is it true
that congress can deal with new ter-
ritories just as other nations have
done or may do with their territories.
"This nation is under control of a
written constitution which is the su-
preme law of the land and the onl}
source of the powers which our gov-
ernment or any branch or ollicer of
it may exercise at any time or at any
place.
"The idea that this country un-
acquire territories anywhere upon
the earth by conquest or treaty and
hold them as mere colonies or pro-
vinces, is unconstitutional Still less
is it true that it agrees with the
genius as well with the words of the
constitution.
"It will be an evil day for Ameri-
can liberty if the theory of a govern-
ment outside of the supreme law of
the land finds lodgment in our con-
stitutional jurisprudence."
A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of Mrs. Sol Temple of Woods
county upon the charge of lioise
stealing. The warrant also includes
her husband, Sol Temple, who is no-
where to be found iu the territory.
A Telegram has been sent from
Chickasha to the president demand-
ing that the Kiowa and Comanche
country be opened for settlement be-
fore August Cth. The telegram cost
the senders thirty-six dollars. They
are getting rather anxious down
about Chickasha.
'•The inability of the presses of
the railroad companies," says Editor
Heusley, to print passes aud keep a
big supply on hand for the benefit
of would be newspaper men is work-
ing a great hardship on the the gen
try who have the uerve to ask for a
pass when they never honestly earn
ed one and never will."—State Capi-
tal
Are ministers of ttie gospel aud
others required to furnish marriage
certificates to the parties who have
been married by them ? is the ques
tion which now agitates the bosom of
the June bride. The law is that it
is the duty of the person officiating
to issue a certificate of marriage,
but many do not do it unless they
get paid for it in addition to the reg-
ular fee. A marriage certificate is
of no legal value if proper return
of the cermony has not been made
Sometimes a leaf is torn out of tli
marriage record and then where is
the poor bride.
City Council-
The city council met last night in
special session to further consider
the water-works question. There were
present the president of the water-
works company, Mr. Brown, ot Par-
sons, Kan., and Mr. Kimball,hydraulic
engineer, of the same place, and Mr
SwatfZel, superintendent here. The
council, after stating the objectof the
meeting, and informing the Water-
Works company of the scarcity of wa-
ter and the character of what little has
been furnished for the past few weeks,
called upon the gentlemen to make a
statement as to what they had done to
relieve the situation, and numerous
other questions relating to tht quality
and quantity of the wator being fur-
nished.
Mr. Brown, the president,stated that
steps had already beeo taken to in-
crease the supply of water and to com-
pletely overhaul the system as soon as
possible. To supply the extraordinary
demand (or water during this dry spell
a pipe line is being laid to the river
where an auxiliary well and an auxili-
ary pumping station will be putln for
the purpose of tiding us over the diffi-
culty. Mr. Brown assured the council
that the pipe line to the river would
be laid and in operation within a week.
The engineer,in his statement to the
council, said the odor which attaches
to the water is due to the fac that it
was pumped from the wells into the
open reservoir which is not and has not
been kept in a proper sanitary condi-
tion. That this reservoir would have
to be abandoned or else wallvd up with
brick and made water-tight with ce-
ment. Additional wells will be sunk
and a different system of points put in
at the present location. Then if this
does not furnish an ample supply of
water Mr. Brown says the entire plant
will be moved nearer the river.
The use of the reservoir has been
discontinued.
Delegate Flynn is fixing himself
with the Jenkins' administration,
lie gave an excursion boat party from
Washington to Baltimore in honor
of Governor Jenkins and the rest of
the crowd now in Washington. Those
who went along were: Dennis, Gov-
ernor Jenkins, Jerry Strang, tail
Von Filson and wife, Joe Saunders
and wife, Jim Houston aud Johannes
Holt. This is the first time ony of
the party bad ever taken a ride of
the Potomac and they enjoyed it im-
mensely.
The people who continually preach
against advertising, declaring it no
good, should hush their gabble.
Some time ago Preacher Ross, of El
Reno, denounced El Reno from the
pulpit in horrible language, calling it
a beer soaked town and accused the
people of standing by and letting
■jlieir boys cultivate the habit. Now
J conies the news that a company has
arrived iu El Reno who propose to
erect a brewery at once and ask the
citizens to give them laud and money
to locate their plant there. This
company had read the Ross sermon
and hastened right to the town to
put up a brewery, Don t tell us ad-
vertising don't pay.—Enid Wave.
It hasn't paid Rossor Ross' church.
In fact it has killed both too dead to
skin. It has killed that church so
dead that when a member of it dies
or gets married they send off for a
preacher to do the job.
The Latest-
Col. Lincoln received a telegram
last night from Washington announc-
ing the fact thai the court of appeals
had sustained Judge Bradley's decision
in the Lone Wolf injunction case, hold-
ing as Judge Bradley did, that the In-
dians if they had a greivance should go
to congress with it and not to the
courts.
It is also semi-officially stated that
the president will issue his proclama-
tion opening the Kiowa and Comanche
country not later than July 1st.
El Reno's ''Munchausen."
Editor Democrat:—Will you kindly
permit a short answer through the col-
umns of your paper in regard to the
meeting of the republican central
committee of this county on the 15th,
in which meeting Gunny, the facliouist
of the News, office, says "H. C. Cusey,
of Darlington,was unanimously recom-
mended for territorial committeeman."
"The attendance at the meeting was
small, owing to the fact that the farm-
ers were mostly In the harvest field.
In the last paragraph Gunny, the re-
bullder of the republican party of this
county is correct and truthful. The
attendance was just 8 out of 22 commit-
teemen, including Gunny's father-in-
law, who bad three proxies wrote him-
self and also voted himself, though
he had never been selected by any
ward or precinct as a committeeman.
With the drumming up by that would-
be politician and popular man, who
boasted that he would swipe the may-
oralty from the editor of the Democrat,
and the three proxies in Watson's
pocket, the vote was 7 for Cusey and 5
Sherman. To that writer of promiscu-
ous proxies, and factionist Gunn, of
the News, li may have looked unani-
mous.
The truth, Mr. Editor, Is, the calling
of the convention or meeting at that
time was a scheme, of which Mr. Lusey
was not aware. The writer has a high
opinion of Mr Cusey, as a man, and
knows him to be a staunch republican
But when the factionists, the prohlbl
tioiiistof the News, stated, "who Is
free from all factional taint," he was
misrepresenting Mr. Cusey. Mr. Cusey
has pronounced views on the question,
that our worthy P. St. and Gunny has
the question that the News man has to
the best of his abilily endeavored to
commit the republican party of this
county to Its endorsement, but most
ingloriously tailed; but, Instead, com-
muted himself to the utter disgust of
the party, and his paper into the
hands of other men. The republicans
of this county are tired of schemers.
They believe in complimenting men
who have spent time and money in
building up the party in Canadian
county. They believe in the total an-
nihilation of factionists and cranks.
They believe in putting a man in as
territorial committeeman who is an
anti-factional man, and a man who has
the energy, skill, and the interest of
the party in view In preference to his
own and, believing that way, thirteen
out of tweniy-two signed in favor of
Mr. Storey Sherman for territorial
committeeman. A REPUBLICAN.
Serious Shooting.
As a result of a quarrel over town
lots in Jim Duffy's new town of Add-
ington, R. S. Casselberry shot and dan-
gerously injured J. M. Wombold, presi-
dent of the First National Bank at that
place* Three shots took effect In Wom-
bold's stomach Inflicting mortal
wounds. Casselberry then turned his
gun on Horace Addington who by this
time had appeared on the scene pre-
paratory to take a part in the conflict.
Addington was wounded in the shoul-
der.
Five men were arrested Monday night
for drunkenness aud general disorderly
conduct. The men wore all strangers.
The police report no lawlessness, and
wilh the exception of a few petty of-
fenees the city is quiet and orderly.
The people comlig into this city are
mo?- ly fromlowH. Mis-i>uri,Kansas and
.V! oraska They are good people and
make grod citizens.
It Is rumored that there will be a
horse race and a base ball game at the
fair ground on the Fourth. The execu-
tive committee wants itdistinctly under
stood that the city has nothing to do
with this side show. The big circus
will be on the streets of the city, and
there will be no admission price charg-
ed to see any of the sights. This is
absolutely a free show gotten up es-
pecially for the farmers and their fam
ties.
SAVES TWO FROM DEATH.
"Our little daughter had an almost
fatal attact of hooping cough and bron-
chitis," writes Mrs. W. K. Haviland,of
Armonk, N. Y. ; "but, when all other
remedies failed, we saved her life with
Dr. King's New Discovery. Our niece
who had consumption in an advanced
stage, also used this wonderful medi-
cine and to day she i= perfectly well.'
Desperate throat and lung diseases
yield to Dr. King's New Discovery as
to no other medicine on earth. Infall-
ible for Coughs and Colds. 50 cents and
$1.00 bottles guarranteed by C. R" Mill-
er.
Street fakirs, mushroom eating
house men, etc.. are growing more nu-
merous Last Monday in front of the
Ker foot hotel two street musicians
furnished entertainment for a crowd of
men and boys. The musicians, a gen-
tleman and lady, were quite skillful,
and that the generous crowd appreci-
ated the sweet strains was evidenced
by the Hood of dimes and nickels which
ell into the young man's hat.
Will Be Hung.
An anti-horse thief committee has
issued a card of warning at Oklahoma
City to the effect that the next man
caught stealing horses, or with stolen
horses, or aiding or abetting horse
thieves, that he will be hung as high
as Haman, and without the benefit of
judge or jury.
Fireworks Notice.
During the parades on July 4th the
firing off of fireworks will be strictly

they run away and some one is sure to
be hurt. Any violation of this notice
will be met with prompt punishment.
