tags and tail-end shoddy stuff that#
you would not pack out of a store if J
it were given you; I believe that#
plain, common sense argumeut will J
do more to convince people of one’s 41
merits. It is an easy matter for a J
merchant to quote cheap price? and #
large quantity, when in fact he haej
neither, but he succeeds in catching#
never enter the store again; I believe
that there is oue way to succeed—
yet there ate others that is to sell
at live and let live prices. If you
want to deal with this kind of a
house, I invite you to come uud trade
with me.

Guthrie says if you are from Missou-
ri or any other old place, we will “show
you” this week.
The Guthrie Daily Leader has been
changed to a fiveeolumn quarto, which
helps its appearance.
Goebel of Kentucky has placed his
case in the hands of Dr. Bryan and the
latter has prescribed “more vocal oper-
ation.
Bryan is needed in Texas at once. Ex-
Governor Hogg of Texas has declared
that it is the duty of this country to
“shoot It—1 out ot the Filipinos.”
Someone has let the cat out of the sack
and now every train is bringing in peo-
ple who want to buy Lincoln county
farms. Just like putting your money'out
at big interest.
The speeches of the President in the
west have clearly' indicated his intention
to recommend to Congress that the Phil-
ippine Islands Income the property of
the United States for all time to come.
He will probably not recommend the
form of government, but leave the mat-
ter to Congress.
An exchange tells a story' of a partner-
ship existing between a democrat, a pop-
ulist, a republican and a free silver re- |
publican. One of the conditions of their 1
contract was that when a partner died,
each of the survivors was to deposit
$100 in the coffin to be buried with the
deceased. The democrat died first and
after the remains had been prepared for
burial the survivors met and the condit-
ions of the contract discussed. Said the
republican, “I believe in a single gold
standard and true to my principles, I
place five $20 gold pieces in the coffin.”
“And I,” said the silver republican. “In
conformity with my financial view's place
one hundred silver dollars in thecasket.”
“Well,” said the populist, “I believe in
fiat money; so I place my check for $300
in the coffin and draw out $200 in change.
—Ex.
This morning C. W. Townsend was
found dead in his bed in a room over the
Siebenaler saloon at number 0 Grand
Avenue. Upon investigation a half pint
bottle of whiskey was found, part of
which had been drank. The fragments
of a crushed bottle was also found. After
a careful search a small tablet of mor-
phine was picked up from the floor. The
coroner was not to he found and Justice
of the Peace J. O. Casler acted in his
place and empaneled a jury.
After an investigation and the finding
of the morphine on the floor, the jury
brought in a yerdict to the effect that
the deceased came to his death by the
suicide route.
Townsend came to the Columbia ho-
tel, which has the rooms over the saloon
about 4- o’clock yesterday afternoon
The porter say's the man seemed to be
drinking. He asked for a room and was
taken to the one in which this morning
he was found dead. lie told the porter
not to call him for supper.
A stiange thing about the case is the
fact that a man named Frank Eagin was
put in the same room at 9 o’clock last
night and slept on a cot. He got up
this morning and left without knowing
that he had slept in the same room with
a corpse. Eagin is a new arrival in the
city but he is vouched for by a section
hand named McNeal.
This afternoon it was learned that
Townsend had been employed with the
Oklahoma Drug company'. Hewasdrunk
nearly' all the time while employed at
this place. He came here from Wellston.
—Times Journal.
It will be remembered that Mr. Town-
send was, sometime along in the sum-
mer employed by' the Saunders & Ross
drug firm of this place.
