IS THE ANDREW KING'
KADE COMPANY.
Four Strong Business Men
Compose the Company,
SEVENTEEN OFFICES.
Andrew Kingkade, A. McDaniel,
Geo. Carson and H. P. Doughty

The Andrew Kingkade Company is
characterized for being the oldest
and largest Loan, abstract collection
and Insurance Agency in Oklahoma,
It was established soon after the open-
ing of old Oklahoma to settlement
in a small room in the rear of the
First National Bank and has ad-
vanced and increased its business in
the same proportion as our great
Territory.
The State Capital is the oldest
newspaper in Oklahoma and we see
what it is today. The Guthrie Na-
tional Bank is the oldest bank in the
Territory and we see where this in-
stitution stands in the eyes of the
business man. It is a conceded fact
that an agency, a firm or any con-
cern whatever, with a long standing
which has greatly expanded its busi-
ness and kept pace with the progress
of its territory
firm basis and great reuaomtv. men
when we say that the Kingkade
Company is the oldest of the kind in
the two territories and that it has antl
grown from a little office in the rear
of a bank to a company represented
in seventeen (17) cities and towns in
Oklahoma it means something to the
individual that lias business with
such a concern. The most skeptical
can put absolute confidence in them
and feel that every thing pertaining
to their agency is thoroughly re-
liable.
At first this company was composed
of Kingkade and Tate and in 1895 A.
McDaniel become an employee who
has been instrumental in helping to
place this company in its present
prominence.
In 1899 the former bought out Mr
Tate and immediately following this
change their large Fidelity building
was erected, which is one of the most
handsome bricks in the city.
In 1901 A. McDaniel, H. P. Doughty
and Geo. Carson entered the company
which already consisted of Mr. King-
kade thus giving the agency four
strong men to push its business.
The business grew to such an ex-
tent that it became necessary to
divide the work and let each member
oversee a separate branch of the
business.
power of mind concentration, con-
sidering his great business and the
proficiency with which he performs
his duty.
To show the excellent country in
which he places farm loans we will
give a list of their offices over the
1 erritory. In Cleveland county are
Norman their main office, Lexington
and Hall. In Pottawatomie county
are Shawnee and Moral located in
one of the richest sections of country
in the great southwest. They are
represented in Oklahoma City the
largest city in Oklahoma and the
leading commercial town of the two
territories. In Washita county are
Cordell (a branch office) Elk City,
Rocky, Canute and Mt. View. They
have repreaenatives in Maguire and
Leger, Greer county, in Arapahoe
and Moonan Custer county, in Pra-
gue and Parklin, Lincoln co., also in
Hobart Kiowa county. One can
now form an idea of their immense
business.
A. McDaniels has charge of the
insurance and collecting which has
grown to be an important factor and
is steadily increasing. Mr. Mc
Daniel was connected with a large
Business college in Texas before
I entering this Agency. He is an ex-
j pert accountant and has extraordi-
| nary business ability.
! Geo. Carson has charge of the
| Abstracting and knows considerable
about the business as previous to his
I present engagements he was two
years in an Abstract and Loan office
! in Salina, Kansas, and afterwards
connected with county affairs in
j Potawatomie county. No trouble
has ever arose out of his abstracting
work. His line of business has grown
to such an extent as to require a
constant assistant.
Eichardson of Moore Run Over by Freight {
Train—Accident Occured Sunday
Night.
Last Monday morning the section
men in the employ of the Santa Fe
railway found the mutilated body of
a man lying upon the tracks two
miles south of Oklahoma City. His
head and side were horribly crushed
and the body in general was badly
contused. About fifty feet distant
one of his feet was found. It was
also seen that the body had been
dragged quite a distance after hav-
ing been struck. An investigation
revealed that the dead man was
named Richardson and that he lived
with his family at Moore. He was a
section boss in the employ of the
Santa Fe. After the discovery of the
body the coroner was notified and an
inqnest was held at the scene. A
verdict was rendered to the effect
that he came to his death by coming
in contact with a train. A watch
was found on his person and it showed
that it had stopped at twenty min-
utes to nine. It was thought that
the accident occurred about that
time on account of the fact that a
train left Oklahoma City for the
south about the time stated.
The dead man was about 45 years
old. It is not known whether he got on
the track and was killed by the train
or was murdered and placed there;
but it is supposed he was drinking
and got on the track himself as a
bottle of whisky was found near him.
The remains were taken to Moore
and buried by the Masons last Tues-
day. Several men of Norman be-
longing to that order attended the
funeral.

Since every strong and
organized business is divided
branches, and has an efficient man to
oversee each branch, as this company
does, yet either of the four are per-
fectly capable of handling and does
j handle any phase of the business, and
when one is out of town his work is
carried on with the same strength
and accuracy as if he was doing the
business himself. In the field of
Farm Loans are these four gentle-
men especially strong, and are con-
sidered authority upon the estima-
tion of values of farm property as
they were reared in the west and
have had experience along this line
long before they entered the business
they now represent. As a cattleman
of long experience can look at an
animal and tell within a very few
pounds of its actual weight in the
same degree of accuracy can King-
kade, McDaniels, Carson or Doughty
estimate the real value of a farm

The members of this firm are sub-

Arrested on a Serious Charge,
Last Sunday Thomas Adams, of
Lexington, was arrested at Moore on
a charge of statutory rape and in-
cest and his preliminary trial is set
for next Monday. The crime is
alleged to have been committed at
his home on the person of his step-
daughter. The writer has been ac-
quainted with Mr. Adams for a num-
ber of years and is very loth to be-
lieve him guilty of the crime. He
was in Norman last Sunday morniug
on his way to Oklahoma City and
was arrested on his arrival at Moore.
Encouraging Statements,
Two of the widest k 110 w n
physicians in the city of Norman
came to the editor this last week and
made this statement: "The Voice is
the best and newiest paper in the
city. It seems to contain all news
that is going, in church, University
and town."
The above statement is not from
Populists, as one might suppose, and
it also came unsolicted.
It is our aim to yet all the news
in both town and county and with the
help of our many friends we will cer-
tainly succeed.
The city council met last Tues-
day morning in the city hall and dis-
cussed the problem of electric lights
considering three propositions, viz:
that of Parrott, Kelso and Otto. The
council decided to accept the form-
er's proposition and it is and assurred
fact that within six months Norman
will be lighted with electricity. Mr.
Parrott puts in the plant and then
gives the city option of owning
renting it. He will begin its erec-
tion at once and by January 1st 1903
Norman can turn 011 and off her lights
as she wishes. This will add wonder-
fully to the looks of our city and
when the ten brick blocks (which
have been contracted for) are erect-
ed and the Katy is built through
here, look out for Norman's growth.

Party Returned From Stonewall.
The party that went Stonewall I
T., headed by E. 15. Johnson returned
last Saturday evening with wide ex-
periences to relate. Mr. Johnson
had made abundant provision in
providing comfortable means for the
crowd that went with him. Pres.
Boyd who had witnessed very few
overland trips of this nature speaks
in such high terms of his enjoyment
and entertainment. While in the ter-
ritory they lived in typical camp
fashion to the full enjoyment of all.
The election that they attended
passed off very quiety, but it was
understood by the citizens of the
Chickasaw that the voters of the
northern county were men of con-
siderable grit and determination,
Their mode of election is much
different to ours in many respects,
hut one great difference is the
manner in which their votes are
polled. When a citizen votes his
name is recorded and at the same time
the name of the individual for whom
he casts his ballot.
The election which took place
August 13th is contested and will
go to the legislature for decision.
ANOTHER A00IDENT ON RAILROAD.
Geo. Houch of Noble Out to Piebes in the
Switch Yards at Purcell.
Last Tuesday night Geo. Houch,
son of Section Foreman Houch, of
Noble, fell from a switch engine in
the Purcell switch yards and was
awfully mangled by the cars, cutting
both legs off and mashing one hand
into a pulp. He lived only a short
time after the accident, Houch was
an employee of the Santa Fe Rail-
way. His body was brought to Noble
for interrment.

A SAD DEATH.
you with a warm hand shake and
pleasant smile at the same time ask-
ing you what he can do for you. If
your business does not pertain to his;
but is of a public nature, such as
church, city or anything relative to
good citizenship, he becomes interest-
ed and shows that he is for the gen-
eral welfare of the community. Mr.
Kingkade certainly has a great
laundry west of the railroad in the
skating hall building just as soon as
the digging of a well is completed
and plenty of water secured. The
well is now about seventyfive feet
deep and will be finished in about ten
days. This laundry that will be put
in will only handle family washings
as 110 starching nor ironing will be
done.

A Four Year Old Ohild Drinks Gasoline,
Beyond Medical Aid.
Last Thursday afternoon about
5:30 o'clock. Nellie Asbury the four
year old child of C. T. Asbury drank
isoline and died within a very short
time.
The facts in the case are as fol-
lows; Mrs. Asbury and children were
visiting at the home of King Harris
and after spending the afternoon,
had started home, when her little
daughter called fi r a drink of water.
Nellie ran back into the bouse took
up a cup containing gasoline, which
she supposed was water and drank
it. She became strangled and ran
to her mother in great agony. The
corrosive power of gasoline on the
mucous membrane is very great and
the little girl got some of it in her
lungs when strangled, which caused
rapid hemorrhage. Drs. Wilson and
Stanfield were summoned at once but
she was beyond medical aid and this
was discovered as soon as the doctors
arrived. At first the chi;dsjaws
were locked; when her mouth opened
the blood gushed out which was
direct from her lungs because of the
corrosive gasoline on the mucous of
the bronchi. The little girl lived
about thirty minutes after drinking
the highly volatile liquid.
Nellie was 3 years 9 mouths and 22
days old when called away, and it
is certainly hard for her parents to
give her up, surrounded by such
circumstances, but our Savior said
"suffer little children to come unto
me and forbid them not for such is
the Kingdom of Heaven."
Mr. and Mrs. Asbury have the
heartfelt sympathy of their friends
in theirgre.it breaveinent.
The funeral services were held at
their home Friday afternoon at 2
o'clock conducted by Rev. J. G. Crea-
son. Interrment followed immediately
in the Odd Fellows cemetery.
W. T. Hani & Go's Hospitality.
Last Monday all the newspaper
men of the city were cordially in-
vited to W. T. Ham & Co's, office at
2 o'clock to partake of their hospi-
tality consisting of a fine 45 pound
watermelon and an abundance of
cheese and crackers which were
highly eujoyed by the press men.
