Let Ut Be Up and Doing-
Efforts should be made bv
Norman's Commercial Club and
real estate men of the county to
advertise this garden spot of Ok-
lahoma—the corn, cattle, wheat,
cotton and fruit center of the
Territory. Hundreds of stran-
gers arc coming into Oklahoma,
but almost ninety per cent of
them never get any further south
than Oklahoma City, whose com
mercial club and real estate men
arc wide-awake to the occasion
and thus secure the great bulk of
the emigration. Every excursion
train coming iuto the territory
should be met at convenient
points and flooded with adver
tising matter descriptive of this
county; and especially asking
the excursionists not to leave the
Territory without visiting Nor-
man and Cleveland county. Al-
most all that is necessary is to
get them to visit us—the splen-
did country and its crops will do
the rest.
Let us be up and doing. The
newspapers of the county will do
and are doing all they can—but
should not be expected to do it
all.

—Four guards brought Earn-
est Eaton of Logan county to the
asylum on Monday. He was rav-
ing,and it took that many guards
to control him He became in-
sane over religion and politics.
Mr Eaton is a prominent Popu-
list. He is and has been a radi-
cal advocate of socialism. He is
an early member of the Knights
of Labor, having at one time
been close to the head of the
grand organization.
—The Easter services of the
M. E. Church South Sunday
School, held on Sunday night,
were of especial interest, and
were listened to by one of the
largest audiences ever convened
in the city—several hundred be-
ing unable to obtain admittance.
The musical program was excel-
lent and the Easter carols by the
little ones especially pleasing.
This Sunday School is one of the
largest in the two territories,
over 200 scholars being enrolled.
—The sentence of Walter
Hodges, the young printer who
was sentenced to the peneten-
tiary for one year and one day
for tampering with the mails,
has been commuted to 20 days iu
jail. His father, who is a minis-
ter of the M. E. Church South,
secured the commutation by a
personal appeal to President Mc-
Kinley. Hodges took a letter
from the postoffice directed to his
employer, Rev. Lovett, editor of
the Oklahoma Methodist, lie re-
lieved the letter of a $34 check
and replaced the letter in the of-
fice. He has served his sentence
and been released.
—A lady of Norman, who has
been sick with the so-called
smallpox, recovered from the
disease, but during convalesenc
has been greatly afflicted with
was
this
week, is looking up the status of
the divorce secured by Nate Silva
in this county it? 1891, in probate
court, from his wife, Laura Silva
with an idea of getting it set
aside. Silva developed into a
desperado after he left Cleveland
county, and "passed in his
checks" in the western part of
the Territory some months ago.
Before leaving here, however, he
had the name of being tricky,
and it is believed the divorce he
secured from his wife will not
prove a legal one. In that event
the transfer of his claim—a good
one not far from Noble—might
be void, and the heirs (of whom
his former wife claims to be one)
are having the matter investiga-
ted.
