The State Journal.
Sixth Year.
Mulhall, Logan County, Oklahoma, Friday, March 6, 1908.
STATE OFFICERS ENTER-
TAINED IN MULHALL.
The Hospitable Home of Col. and
Mrs. Mulhall Thrown Open to
Officials and Wives.
"Logan's Rest," the beautiful
home of Col. and Mrs. Z ick
Mulhall, was the scene of a
brilliant social event Wednesday
night of this week. Preparation
had been made to entertain the
state officials and their wives and
the governor's staff. The build-
ings and grounds were elaborate-
ly decorated with flags and bunt-
ing. Upon the arrival of the
evening train from the capital
city, Mrs. Haskell, wife of our
governyr, Secretary Bill Cross
and Assistant Secretary Ross
Li Hard, State Auditor and Mrs.
M. E. Trapp were met with
carriages and conveyed to the
"Rest." Owing to press of
official matters, Gov. Haskell
was, at the last moment, unable
to come, much to the disappoint-
ment of Col. and Mrs. Mulhall
and daughters, as well as to the
governor himself. He conveyed
his regrets to Col. Mulhall by a
message just before the arrival
of the train here.
For over an hour the guests
were entertained with an ex-
hibition by Miss Lucille and her
wonderful performing horse,
"Governor," the latter now be-
ing re-christened "Governor
Haskell," by special permission
of our governor. The perform-
ances of Miss Lucille and her
wonderful horse never grow o.d
and their performances are al-
ways superior in their line to the
usual equestrienne exhibitions.
The distinguished guests enthusi-
astically applauded Miss Lucille
and her nooie horse.
A splendid six-course dinner
was served in the large dining
hall oi the Mulhall home. After
the luncheon, Col. Mulhall
tendered a smoker to the gentle-
men of the party, and the ladies
were entertained in the parlor
by Mrs. Mulhall, assisted by her
three charming daughters, the
Misses Agnes, Lucille and
Mildred. The reception was a
great success, and ended with
the arrival of the midnight train,
which carried the honored guests
back to the capital. Local guests
at the reception to assist in
entertaining the visiters were:
President Burford, of the First
National Ban1'; President VV'il-
kerson, of the Oklahoma Tele-
phone Co.; Attorney Matthews,
Lx-County Commissioner Estus, fat pig and some chickens of a

drawing especial attention to
her advertisement?
The State Journal received a
communication through the mail
this week, making, or attempting
to make a reply to the article
published in last week's State
Journal concerning patronizing
the mail order houses. The
writer scores the local merchants,
and advances several kinds of
arguments to prove the writer
of the published article wrong,
fne writer omitted the most im-
portant part of his reply; he, or
she, failed to sign any name to
the article. The letter is signed
'Jackrabbit," but we must
knovy the true name of "Jack-
rabbit," not for publication, but
this is an invariable rule we have,
and if the writer of the article
in question will send us his
name, claiming authorship to the
letter, we will publish it in our
next issue. The State Journal
is fair; we are willing to publish
both sides. Let "Jackrabbit"
reveal his true name to the
editor.

a Correction.
In the correspondence from
Rural Route 2, Fairview district,
there appeared an error in the
item relating to the building of a
house by Fred Larson. The
correspondent made a slip unin-
tentionally wiLh the pen, and
wrote that "Fred Larson is build-
ing a house on his place for Mrs.
Larson," when it should have
been written "Fred Larson is
building a house on his place for
his renter, Mr. Jacob Moses."
Ihe editor, as well as the writer,
regrets the error greatly, as it
places Mr. Larson in a wrong
light. Mr. and Mrs. Larson are
the best people on earth, happy
and contented, and at peace with
all mankind.

The ladies of the Catholic
