FROG sat down one clay to think
Of the values derived from printers' ink;
As he sat 011 his stool and pondered lony;,
He could plainly see where he'd fjone wrong.
He arose trom his stool, put on his hat,
And enquired his way to the State democrat.
He at once placed an "ad" in that valuable sheet,
And now he is happy when his friends he does meet,
For lie has something for them in shape of a treat.
//oflace like Hoy/;,
frog he grew old, and his head got grey,
But he never forgot to bless the day
That he walked into the Democrat office so spry
And asked a space in their columns to buy.
His business then fast his pockets did fill,
And he carries his "ad" in the DEMOCRAT still.
And now he remembers that bis youth will soon fade,
So he insures his life with Tate & Kingkade;
And says he has been by his "ads" well paid.

Oklahoma City, O. T., Jan- 9.—(Spec-
ial.)—The Oklahoma City statehood
convention commenced here today 1n
an excited condition, owing: to factional
difficulties, organized amid the moat
etormy scenes ever witnessed, fairly
resolved Itself into a mob that could
hot be controlled and ended tonight in
the greatest turauH, without having ac-
complished even a permanent organiza-
tion. Oklahoma never witnessed such
Btormy scenes in a convention and it is
almost a miracle that blood was not
epilled.
Promptly at 2 o'clock Frank M.
Thompson of Pawnee county called the
meeting to order and proceeded to read
the Pawnee call for a statehood con-
vention. Just a« he commenced W. F.
INValiker, secretary of the executive
statehood committee, jumped on the
platform and proceeded to read the
Shawnee call, Issued by Sid Clarke and
Which Included delegates from the
Chlokasaw nation. The wildest ex-
fcitemen't followed. The two great fac-
tions in tJhe statehood convention Jump-
ed u pon their haiirs and a most wonder-
ful scene followed. There was not a
pair of lungs in the audience, spectators
and all, that were not howling like
•wild Commianche Indians. Each fac-
tion tried to drown the voice of the
other faction and for ten minutes no
living main ever heard such an un-
earthly medley of hisses, yells, cheers,
cock crows and cat calls. The noise
was so great tlhat it could have been
heard all over town. If an entire state
asylum broke loose and commenced to
howl and groan and cheer the noise
could not have "been greater.
It looked as If .the entire convention
had suddenly lo*t its reason and the
tumult excited 'the greatest tension.
An Indian sun dance was mild com-
pared with it. As one man jumped
upon a cha.ir another man pulled him
by the coait tails and brought him
down, burt the men were so excited and
blind from the intense nervous tensSon
•that they really did not know how they
got up or down, or that they were liv-
ing: at all, for that matter.
BUT THE READING WENT ON.
During this wonderful and exciting
,tumult Mr. Thompson and Mr. Walker,
both as pale as death from the cen-
tention o-f conservatism within them,
proceeded with the reading of their <re-
CpecUve calls, but not a soul heard
them. Finally Mr. Walker gave out
before he had flndi^hed and dropped be-
hind Mr. Thompson with torrents of
preppiration, caused by the excitement,
running down his face.
The very last wonl of Mr. Thomp-
sons call was partially heard during a
oeasa'tion of the din, but it was only
for a moment, and the contending" fac-
tions broke out In a wild, frenzy again
that lasted for a minute. Men who
are conservative in every day life stood
on seats with Uheir eyes bulged out and
mouths open, yelling like steam en-
gines.
Finally the tall form of Colonel
IMooro, the fig^tln^ ex-mayor of Enid,
ruShed across the hall. Hds black
curls werp waving like the mane of an
enraged Hon, anil his attitude had such
a business appearance that a giant
would not have the nerve to cross his
pa.th.
"I move," siid he, with a vo ice of
thunder, "that Mr. H-ensley of El Reno
be made temporary Chairman of this
conven tion."
"I second the motion," said Charles
Hunter of Enid, with a loud yell, from
the top of the c.hair. Mr. Thompson
put ayes and noes on the question, and
there was not a man living could tell
how the vote stood except from the in-
dications of the situation before the
convention took place. Both sides
yelled either aye of no, not as individ-
uals or delegations or conventions
Would shout It, but as two great armies
In battle would shout and shriek and
yell.
"Mr. Hensley Is elected chairman of
this convention,* said Mr. Thompson,
"will he come to the cha.ir?"
SINGI.K STATEHOOD ON* TOP
Advantage Taken of the 1'itrl lamont ury
Point* In iho Adjournment.
Oklahoma City, O. T., Jan. 0.—Late
Jnsl night the many champions of
single statehood held a caucus and de-
cided that the adjournment of the state-
hood convention- ij«s evening was ille-
gal and unparliamentary. Their par-
liamentary advisers told th^m that a
convention presided over by a tempo-
rary organIzatlo-n could not adjourn
sine die, particularly while one of its
committeees was out. There was only
one committee apointed by the conven-
tion and that was on credentials. The
contention was adjourned before this
committee had time to report.
On the strength of this advice the sin-
gle statehood delegates will assemble j
to morrow morning at 9 o'clock, organ-
ize as a convention, and then hear the
report of the credentials committee. [
They will then pass a resolution favor- j
4ng single statehood. As many of the!
opposition delegates have gone home '
Ignorant of the plans of the single'
statehood men, the latter can reconvene
the convention and do what they please, 1
with practicably no opposition.

Million*- Depletion is Expccteri to
Continuo hh an Every Day
Matter—General News.
New York, Jan. '—It Is learned from
a number of prominent banks in this
city that they have been requested
often in the pa sit few days to open gold
accounts. These requests have come
from customer.-, including some banks
in the interior. The banks, however,
have invariably responded in the nega-
tive to such requests, citing the fact
that they would not be justified by tho
clearing house agr.M merit, in opening
gold accounts. The result has been
that banks with large vault rooms hava
reolved a good deal of gold in the
last few days, which they are now
merely holding, as safe deposit agents
for the account of country banks. Some
of this gold has come from points west
of Chicago, and bankers say that If tho
amoaints so held could be announced it
would be a genuine surprise to the
street.
Most of this is goldthat has not been
in the treasury vault for many months.
DUTY AS PATRIOTS.
Omaha, Jan.'.'.—Most of the national
banks of rhis city hav« received tele-
grams from New York, asking, if Pres-
ident Cleveland s.iouM make a call to
replenish the gold reserve, whether
they would consider it a patriotic duty
,to take bonds on a 3 per cent basis.
One of tli-1 otilcials of the Merchants
National bank of Omaha stated that
the bank would probably take some 3
iper cent 'bon is if 'hey could be secured
at par, but add d that no one could
speak authoritatively on the subject
until the directors have parsed on the
situation. A number of banks in the
state have sent in liberal bids for bonds
and it looks as if the proposition was
:favored gem rally bhr< ughout Nebras-
ka by the bankers.
GOLD RESERVE,
Washington, Jan. —The treasury
itoday lost $43,000 In gold bars, which
leaves the true amount of the reserve
$57,862,204. Notlhlng is known at the
treasury department so far as can be
learned, of any concerted movement by
bankers to protect the reserve by mak-
ing gold deposits, and up to the hour
of closing, the statement published yes-
terday that IZmmerman and Forshay
bullion <J ilera of New York, had de-
posited $300,000, had not been verified
by Assltamt Treasurer Jordan. In
fact, the only considerable deposit dur-
ing the last several weeks was made
yesterday by the Mercantile National
bank, which exchanged $500,000 in gold
for currency. Ro far as can be learn-
ed, the situation shows no sign of Im-
provement. and no surprise would be
felt here if heavy shipments of gold
should be made on each of the fast-go-
ing European steamers for some time
to come.
The treasury deficit for the present
fiscal year today reached $20,03f ,430.

Washington, Jan. o— Wol< o-tt of Colora-

some months, was pi . in the senate
today and .took the • res -itbed oath.
Butler of North Carolina offered two
amendments to the r • <-o!nage substi-

prohibits th e.'-alo of intpp -t l e,iring bonda

At 12:60 the mate a ljourned until to-
rn on-row, without tak'; action on it.
Immdiately after adjournment the He-
publlcan senators w. ! Into caucus on tho
tariff bill. The g. . ral impression was
that /the only method open to the Repub-
llcans was to pa>s the i il as it came from
the house and that such would be the ac-
tion of the caucus.
Tho feature of the senatorial caucus
was a diecuiBton of the a lvisabllity of
amending the house tariff bill by adding
a free coinage amendment to it in the
aonate. This discussion was confine^
largely to the fre< coinage wing of tl.e
party.
The result of the meeting was the adop«
tlom of Senator Quay's resolution, intro-
duced y£.''rrdny. exj.rryslng the sense of

might be made to amend the tariff bill
by addling- a free coinage provision.
SILVEa-1, FROM ANY SOURCE
Senator Teller announced his intention
to vct«e for a sliver smondment If offered
from any source, without announcing any
purpose of presenting such an amend-
ment himself. He talked very earnestly
on the subject, saying that he ha 1. when
tbe McKlnley bill was before congreas in
1890, foregone the opportunity to amend
that measure with e free coinage provis-
ion, on tho representation that tho bill
with such an amendment would be ve-
toed, only to be told afterwards by the
frien<ls of tthat bill lhait the Sherman sil-
ver bill was passed as the only hop.' of
defeating free coinage. He declared that
ho would not again be placed in that pre-
dicament.
Brief speeches were also made on this
feature of the question by Senators l)u
Holfie, Mantle, Shoupe and others.
There was a sufficiently general expres-
sion of opinion among the silver senators
to show that there were not to exceed a
half dozen who would hold out against
unanimous agreement to refrain from vo-
ting for a silver amendment, and this
showing was such as to lead the antl-
silver men In tho caucus to conclude that
!f whose who had expressed themselves
against the oolicv of amendment could be
Induced to voie against these amend-
ments, regardless of the lotion of the-lr
colleague's, t'hey could defeat a silver
amendment when offered.
SDNATQR BAKER'S STAXD.
Sena/tor Baker announced himself as
friendly to the proposition to coin the
Amor*can silver product, and maid that h«
would offer an amendment to this eff(M?t
to both llhe bond and the tariff hills. Mr.
Baker also reiterated his declaration of
yesterday to disregard the lnstructions o-f
the caucus ami vote against the bill unlesa
amended on protected lines.

The rejiort that orders hi
to Portsmouth, Davi nporl
for the immediate commie-
flying iuadron of warships was con-
firmed this afternoon and caused a pro-
found sensation in all circles. The
squadron was ordered to be ready for
sea Tuesday next. In addition Ad-
miral Sir Frederic George I.)enham Bed-
fond. in command at Cape . f Good Hope
and the west African station, has been
ordered to proceed t > Delagoa Bay on
board his flagship, a first-class steel
curlser, and is now on his way there,
accompanied witih another cruiser, with
all possible speed.
The Germain emperor, it appears, held
planned to land a force of Germans at
Deilagoa Bay in order to assist the Boers
against the British and only desisted
from dojypg so when he learned of Jame
son's defeat and capture. This, it Is
claimed, is proof that his message to
President Kruger, congratulating him
upon his victory over the Brltlah and
his majesty's reported announcement
to I >r, Leyd*, seen tary f the state of
Trasvaai, that Germany refused to r<u
gnlze any suzerainty over Transvaal,
were well weighed moves and the result
of a prearranged policy. Admiral Bed-
ford has also been Instru 'ted to report
Immediately to the admiralty what ad- ]
dltlonial steps are necessary to re-in-
force his squadron and they will be sent I
him as promptly as possible. Besides '
these preparations ti: greatest activity I
Is displayed at all dock yards making
re-ady for a call for the commissioning '

naval reserve lists are being prepared
In readiness for an emerg ncy.
