RUCKER'S
from Thursday until Saturday night.
Attorney J. B. Dudley won another
ticklish case in county court yester-
day when a jury acquitted his client,
Joe Stephens, of failure to contribute
to the support of his child. It was
proven that Joe was moneyless and
propertyless, and that as Ion); as he
and Mrs. Stephens lived together he
did the best he could to support them,
but when she left with the baby and
returned to her parents he failed to
mil tribute to their support. The law
is very stringent in such matters, but
Mr. Dudley secured an instruction
that if it was shown the defendaht
had no means nor property the charge
could not be sustained.
The marriage of Joe and his wife
was a boy and girl affair, 17 and 18,
and when the baby came, as babies
have a habit of doing in such eases,
and more poverty flew in at the win-
dow, differences arose between hus-
band and wife and she took her baby
and went home to her parents, after-
wards getting a divorce. The jury
could see no good in fining him

ARLISS IN "DISRAELI"
A very high class play is to be giv-
en at the Overholser next Monday and
Tuesday night. It is Geo. Arliss in
"Disraeli," a play based on the bril-
liant stroke whereby Lord Beacon-
field, in 1876, secured the Suez Canal
for Great Britain. The marvelous
Jewish boy who became Prime-Minis-
ter through sheer force of character
and clear constructive statesmanship
against the awful odds laid by the
spirit of race bigotry and intolerance,
is shown at the apex of his remark-
able career. The comedy is a study
of the man in his most fascinating and
attractive guise, and affords Mr, Ar-
liss one of his best opportunities. It
has to its credit a record run of three
hundred and fifty performances at
Wallack's Theatre, New York, six
months in Chicago and twenty-four
weeks in Boston.
The New York World says of the
production: "Not since the curtain
was drawn on the careers of Henry
Irving and Richard Mansfield has a
New York audience witnessed a per-
formance that could approach it. Ar-
liss is a perfect Disraeli in a perfect
production.
MOVING TO THE FRONT
M. F. Fischer & Son, the plumbers,
always keep wall to the front, but re-
cently they've done more than usual
in that line. They have cleaned up
their establishment in fine shape with
kalsomine and paint, making it very
attractive, and moved their desks
right up to the front door, where the
first thing you strike is the proprie-
tor. A fine show window, with the
most attractive goods possible in their
line, will be another improvement as
soon as the goods can arrive.

day, a real Oklahoma Day, with the
sun shining warmly and the air balmy

Hope he's wrong, and tili we don't

THINK IT OVER
The country newspaper promotes
the interests of the town in which it
is published to such an extent that it
becomes impossible to place an esti-
mate upon its worth. There is no en-
terprise that does so much for the
corporation or the individual citizen
as the paper. It stands opposed to the
town knocker, the town' kicker, the
town fanatic and the town drones. It
stands for action as against dry rot.
It stands for progress as against stag-
nation. It is ever ready to combat
the schemes of visionaries and ready
to aid the constructive plans of the
wise and level-headed citizens
