AN ATTRACTIVE SIGN
FAMILY TRAGEDY.
Ml '
II
"No campaign funds will be re-
ceived from Trusts and Corporations"
is a very attractive sign to advertise
as hanging- on the door leading into
campaign headquarters of either of
the old political parties. After dis-
covery has been made that trusts and
corporations have been contributing
to the campaign funds of such part-
ies the necessity for the advertising
of the hanging out of such a sign is
apparent. With the rank and file
of the two old parties conscious of
the fact that trusts and corporations
contribute freely, they would hardly
feel the necessity of digging down
deep into the recessess of the pockets
of their trousers to dig up a few
dimes or dollars to help defray ex-
penses of maintaining palatial
headquarters in leading hotels in the
country for their political bosses to
direct them how to vote in order to
save the country from ruin. The
trusts and corporations understand
the necessity for the advertisement
of such signs being hung out at pre-
sent time don't you think ? The rank
and file of the old parties could hard-
ly be prevailed upon to contribute
towards the maintenance of head-
quarters for their political bosses to
tell them how to vote so as to throttle
the trusts and corporations, if con
scious of the fact that trusts and cor-
porations were contributors also to
maintain same headquarters. Any
one gallused farmer following a mule
down a (cotton row could figure out,
before he had travelled half a quart-
er, many substantial reasons why he
should not contribute a cent. Whet-
her this same farmer will be able to
figure out that this new sign Is hung
out for the purpose of deceiving him,
we can't say; but we feel certain
that he will view it with more or less
suspicion and part with his coin more
reluctantly than formerly. The use
of money in political campaigns is
becoming quite a fierce proposition,
amounting to a national evil. The
political headquarters of both of the
old parties have long since ceased to
be anything else than loan establish-
menis for politicans wanting fat jobs
and trusts and corporations desiring
special favors. The amount of the
loan you make to campaign head-
quarters determines, largely, your
fitness and qualifications for a fat
political job, should your party be
successful. The bigger the loan you
make the bigger the prize you are
likely to draw. The longer your
purse and the deeper you tap it, the
more likely you are to wear the toga
of a United States senator cabinet
officer, foreign minister or vice-pre-
sident. Your subserviency to wishes
of party bosses determines largely
your qualifications for congress, leg-
islature or judiciary, for through
these branches of government, trusts
and corporations secure most of their
special favors and the party bosses
must look to securing men for these
positions that they can control, be-
fore trusts and coporations contri-
bute to secure their election. Never
in the history of our country were
both of the dominant political part-
ies so completely dominated and con-
trolled by the money influences as at
the present time. Money talks, in
American politics,as never before The
cultivation and fostering of the part-
isan spirit enables plutocracy to keep
the people divided in such a manner
1 a9 to win every election. If people
| the would only stamp out the partis-
I an spirit that has taken possession
I of them they would break the chains
that binds them to the chariot wheels
of plutocracy. Serving either of the
old political parties is serving pluto-
cracy.
Seeks Divorce.
Mrs. Mary Thomas filed her peti-
tion in the district court last Thurs-
day asking for a divorce from her
husband Alex Thomas.

It is a pleasure to enter
a home in which an
air of comfort, cheerful-
ness and refinement pre-
vails. Nothing does
more to bring these con-
ditions about than tasty
and harmonious furnish-
ings; nothing does more
to make the home at-
tractive to each member
of the family. At the
price we are selling
house-furnishings for,
you can't afford to be

* THE BIG CHAIR....
jJas. Snyder Kills Himself
and Baby.
Last Friday afternoon Jas. Snyder
hired a livery rig in Norman, pro-
vided himself with some 38cartridges
and some chloroform and drove 18
miles to his mother in law's place
near the Banner school house, where
his wife and babe were staying, he
and his wife having separated some
time previous. His mother-in-law
Mrs. Hildreth, his wife and some
small children were all the persons
at the place. Snyder went into the
house and supposition is to get the 2
months old baby. He dragged his
wife and baby out of the house and
then drew his pistol shooting the
baby in his wife'a arms killing the
baby instantly and wounding his wife
in the breast. As his wife stooped to
pick up the babe he shot her through
the body and then placed the revolv-
er to his temple blew his own brains
out. He was a young man and had
not been married a great while. He
and his wife never lived happily to-
gether and separated a short time
ago. By some who knew him, he was
not considered very bright, A bottle
of whiskey was found in the buggy
and some seemed to have been used
out of the chloroform bottle. At
last accounts wife was not dead and
a chance for her reoovery existed.
The bullet passed diagonally through
her body from near the hip to the
shoulder; but struck no vital organ
and unless blood poisoning takes
place she may recover. Snyder was
raised on the Ten Mile Flat and
worked for M. C. Runyan on the farm
near Denver the past summer.
ROCK ISLAND TRAIN
Plunges into Cimarron Riv-
er—Several Drowned.
Last Tuesday morning's North
bound passenger train on the Rock i a date as possible.
Island plunged into the Cimarron
river near Dover. The engine, mail
and express cars smoker and and day
coaches going into the river. The
chair and two pullman cars remained
on the track. The day coach was
heavily loaded with passengers, and
most of them were saved by the car
floating to the bank of the river.
The smoker floated into mid stream
and but few passengers escaped from
it. The Cimarron was a raging torrent
and the bridge supports had been
loosened by the sudden rise of the
stream. It will be sometime before
the loss of lite is definitely known.
There were many narrow escapes
some floating down stream on wreck-
age. A great crowd from Kingfisher
was soon atthe scene of the wreck but
river was too high to get to the csr
in the center of the river that was
almost totally under water.
LATER—The unaccounted for num.
bers about 2o. The smoker car in
which victims are supposed to be is
completely submerged and cannot be
investigated. Only two dead so far
as is definitely known.
NON-PARTISAN
CONVENTION CALLED
To Meet in Norman October
9th, 1906.
Last Friday a mass convention of
the voters in the 34th constitutional
district favorable to the nomination
of a non partisan candidate, was
held in Noble. The attendance was
not as large as hoped for but condi-
tion of roads had much to do in re-
ducing attendance. Only the nearby
township were represented in the
meeting; but in all about fifty took
part in the meeting. J H. Terrell
was chosen as chairman and J. L.
Goodrich as secretary. The object of
the meeting was stated and hy a un-
aminous vote it was decided to nomi-
nate a candidate. After this decision
was made Mr. Terrell refused to
serve longer as chairman and Mr.
Duffy was chosen. The following re-
solution was introduced and unanim-
ously adopted:
Resolved that ten delegates be
chosen from each voting precinct in
district .'14 to represent precinct in
nominating convention to be held in
the city of Norman Tuesday, October
9th, 1906 at 10 o'clock a m. to nomi-
nate a non-partisan candidate for

Owning to the fact that all of town-
ships were not represented in meet-
ing a full committee was not chosen
and some changes m*y have to be
made in above appointments.
Mr. Sellers and Dr. Duffy started
out Monday morning to visit and
make speeches in the south part of
the county and organize that part of
the county and expect by next week
to have four active committeemen
in each voting precinct. The com-
mittee meeting arranged to beheld
in Norman on Saturday, September
22nd has been postponed until Satur-
„ day, Sept. 29th, at 10 o'clock. It is
hoped that every committeeman will
attend this meeting.
NOTES.
Several partisan democrats atten-
ded the mass meeting as interested
spectators.
Some partisan democrats attended
mass convention with a view of try-
ing to prevent the nomination of a
non-partisan candidate. In so doing
they injured chances of candidate, in
whose interest they appeared. Fair-
ness appeals to men and unfairness
is resentsd. The attempt on the part
of anyone, not in sympathy with the
object of a meeting to butt-in and
take p rt in the meeting, does not
raise, in the estimation of anyone,
such an individual. The butt-in-skie
at Noble will make many men who
attended the Noble meeting more
determined than ever, if possible, to
make the non-partisan movement a
success.
Buys Half Interest.
R. L, Risinger has purchased the
Lon Holt interest in the Holt it Den-
ham barber shop and it is now the
firm of Risinger & Denham and will
occupy rooms formerly occupied by
Holt & Denham. The shop is over
hauled and made new and attractive.

his stallion "Hugh.' A fine lot )
of colts were shown, pronounced by

es of colts they ever seen,sired by one

ris colt; the 2nd of $5.00 to the Joe
