Politics should cut no figure in cily
elections. Vote (or the best men re-
gardless of party.
A Chicago restaurant-keeper has
a window Sign reading, "Try our Corn
Beef Hash—it is a work, of art." -Kx.
The joys of Oklahona have been
realized a part of this week by a high
Wind and n thorough distribution of
the dust.
\ ote for the men who are interested
in the upbuilding of the city and who
are willing to accept the voted wishes
of the people without kicking.
Many merchants select their clerks
for their popularity with the buyers,
but do not apply the same test in the
choice of advertising media.—Ex.
What advertising space will pro-
duce depends upon what is put into it
in the same manner as a building lot's
development of value depends upon
the structure erected upon it.—Ex.
The coming of the supply depot of
the Waters-Pierce Oil Co. employing
a dozen men, the new ice plant, and
the new (louring mill are among the
first results of Stillwater having a
railroad.
A good share of the corn planting'
is done. The wheat prospects are
good and, with favorable circum-
stances during the year, the many
large granaries throughout the coun-
try will be filled to overflowing.
• Another fine school building is what
we need. The voters declared this
almost unanimously last Tuesday by
voting $5,500 bonds for that purpose.
A meeting uf theA.O. ofO. 0. is now
looked for.
We have not heard the last of the
Mormon question, and Mrs. J. K.

of fiction makes a powerful appeal
Her last tale in the April "New Lip-
pincott" is "The Alpine Kose," as
pathetic a little idle as ever befell a
real man and woman.
the business of cities as they never
would allow their own to be con-
ducted. Why don't we all get to-
gether like sensible men and say,
'The tnen wo need for city offices
uro men who understand the business,
who have honest, personal character
of high order, and fitness to do the
duties of the places to which they
are elected.' What ilitTerence does
it make whether they belong to one
party or another? What difference
does it make whether they believe in
gold or silver money? If they are
good, honest, capable citizens who
will administer the offices to the
best Interest of all the people in the
city, that is enough. This is about
all that is necessary to say about
non-partisanship in municipal affairs.
It is very simple and we shall begin
to havo a better city as soon as we
act out what a majority of us already
believe in our hearts is the sensible
thing to do."

Last Friday afiernoon a pleasant party

casion being a reception, given by Mrs

present whose ages ranged from 55 to 74

FOR "THE WOMEN
Tn the death of General Joubert the
iloerj Jose a brave leader whose de-
sire to die on the field of battle in tne
defense of his country was thwarted
by disease. The English press, speaks
of the dead warrior as a worthy foe-
man, who has won the respect and
admiration of his enemy by his mil-
itary skill, and chivalrous conduct.
Next Tuesday will be city election
day- The majority of the people
evidently favored a non-partisan
election, judging from the voters that
answered to the call for such a meet-
ing when the nominations were made.
Dale Lytton was the choice of the
non-partisans for mayor, and a
""ghty good man he is for the office.
He didn't seek the nomination but it
was nut upon him by many of the
most interested business men of the
city. He is the man for the place.
Horse Stolen.
A horse and saddle were stolen from
(reorge .Stees, the butcher, last Sat-
urday night. The horse was one of a
matched team which George hnd re-
cently purchased and the saddle was
an expensive one. Although diligent
search and inquiry have been made for
the thief and property no clue has
yet been found.

The republican press of the country
il severly criticising Sheldon's Topeka
Capital. The Capital was strongly
opposed to partisan politics being in-
jected into municipal affairs, against
trusts and murdering the Filipinos,
fho sermon on the mount was prin-
ted and the Capital advocated that it
should be carried into the walks of
life. Of course, the republican press
that is favoring trusts, the murder of
theHlipinos, and for partisan politics
in schools, cities and counties and
opposed to the teachings on the
mount, don't like Sheldon's Capital —

SHELDON ON CITY ELECTIONS.
^ The following written by Rev.
Charles Sheldon and published in the
Topeka Capital during his week's
work with it, is certainly worthy of
(perusal in Stillwater just now. Re-
move party prejudice from your
minds and digest this sketch :
"Another thing that we can all do
to make a better city is to conduct
«ur municipal polities on non-parti-
san lines. It is a childish thing for
grown up men and women to try to
conduct the business administration
of a city on a partisan basis. A
business man who would run I
his business on lines marked out i
hy partisan municipal politics would
be regarded by all sane business 1
as lacking the most n-cessary 1
mon sense. And yet eltl, s f,,|| '
business men continue to try to run 1
