That last break of Callahan's pub-
licly challenging Flynn to a joint debate
and then basking down when Flynn
accepted will not mako tho reverend
gentleman any more votes in the western
part of the territory. Our people hhVd
nothing but contempt for that kind of a
man.
A young "attorney who lives at La
Junta upon being nominated for cons
gress by tho republicans of his district
made a speech in which he said; "Tho
croivn of cactus cannot bo pressed upon
tho brow of labor nor can you crucify
mankind upon a cross of hot tamalas."
Star.
Tho price of wheat is steadily and
rapidly advancing. Tho prico of silver
is just as steadily coming down. Why
this thusness? Our free silver friends
tell us that wheat and silver rcuiaiu
parallel on tho market neither rises or
falls without tho other following tuit.
la it posaiblo that our freo silver friends
aro mistaken?
In the meantime tho Cuban war
drags wearily along with an occasional
raid or skirmish to enliven the monotony.
Scarcely anyone thinks of poor strug-
gling Cuba now but after election tho
newspapers will again bo filled with
long accounts of Spanish outrages and
the sympathetic American will commence
where he left off to cuss tho adminis-
tration for not putting a stop to it.
Tho South and West says that when
a man want a house built ho hires a
carpenter; if he is tick ho hires a
doctor; if ho has . a case in court ho
hires a lawyer and so on throughout all
the trades and professions and that this
rule applies in politics aa well as in or-
dinary business uffairs. That's all the
moro reason why ho peopto of Beaver
county ohould elect Dr. Strong1 couuty
attorney he's been a lawyer ongci
thn his opponent hai lived.
Tho peoplo of Beaver county are not
going to voto for Dennis Flynn on ac-
count of tho freo homes measure that
docs not concern them for their land is
already free hut they know that in htm
they have a friend who can ho depended
on to watch and work for their interests
while ho is in congress. After tho work
Flynn has dono for Oklahoma no ono
but a prejudiced chump or a man who
obeys every command of his party bosses
will vote to turn him down. Wo don't
know what tho democrats in the eastern
part of the territory will do but wo do
know that a great many of them in this
county will vote for Flynn knowing
that in so doing they aro voting for their
own interests.
Cattle aro going out of Beaver county
and money is coming in. Six weeks
ago dollars were scarcer than hen's teoth
or anything else but with nearly ovcry
farmer shipping a few head of fat steers
and many cattlemen shipping them by
tho truinlnad all getting cash for them
and putting it in circulation conditions
havo changed. This has been tho dry-
est year in the history of tho country
hut tho steers havo grown just tho same
and there is always a market for them.
The man who has a small herd of cattle
and a good claim in Heaver county has
a "snap." All tho mouey that is com-
ing into Beaver county this full is good
money too every dollar of it will buy
100 cents worth of anything. Wo havo
no vote but if we had it would bo found
that this county would roll up an over-
whelming majority for sound money.
m
The offico of county attorney should
bo filled by a man who has had somo
experience in business matters and who
is old enough to look al things in their
true light who has passed that ngo
when a man is susceptible of any glit-
tering attraction or side issue leading
him out or tho lino of duty. A hoy
may be all right behind tho counter or
teaching school but when it comes to
entrusting tho legal business of a county
to his caro that's different and the
peoplo of this county should couBider tho
matter well beforo casting their ballots.
It is not a bad idea cither for the
prosecuting attorney to havo somo
knowledge of law and a little experience
in that line: Dr. Strong was admitted
to the bar in 1865 practiced law sovernl
years in Iowa and Kansas and it may
bo added that he was a successful law-
yer. Ho has not practiced law sinco ho
came to this county hut that fact does
not bar him. Wo have no hesitancy in
rrcommending Dr. Strong to tho voters
of Beaver county. Thn democratic
nominee is a promising young man and
a warm personal friend of tho writer
but youth cannot take tho place of age
and experience in this case.

Oh do you remember sweet Alice
Ben Bolt sweet Alico with hair sp
brown how the dresses sho woro were a
dream of delight and a vision to glad-
den the town? You said that the swish
of the gown that sho wore was sweet
musio tho angels might hear and tho
frou frou of skirts that sho graced so
you swore was a harmony sweet to your
ear. I saw your sweet Alice last even-
ing dear Ben she was out for a nico
littlo spin; I really was glad you wero
not present then to notico tho rig she
was in. Sho straddled the wheel with
appcaranco of case and her skirts wire
not present I ween but her pants they
stopped short at the caps of her knees
aud her limbs wero a sight to bo teen.
Oh as I remember sweet Alice Ben
Bolt I thought I had punctured a tire
for she's turned as frisky and gay as a
eolt and her bloomers climb higher and
higher. I judge it strictly appropriate
Ben for Alice they tell mo is "new"
but you had better remember her as sho
was then ero her limbs had burst into
view. Minneapolis Messenger.

(Jotcrnor's It (port.
Washington Sept. 25. Governor
Ilonfruw of Oklahoma has filed his re-
port for tho year ending June 30 with
tho secretary of tho interior.
Tho population of tho territory is
shown to hate increased from 210025
to 275587 in two years. Woods county
is tho most populous the figuro being I
20805. Next comes Oklahoma with
1001)9 Logan 10005; Pottowatomio
17..100; Kay 10050; Grant 10575;
Lincoln 15512; Garfield 10002;
Kingfisher 15310; Pnyno 14192;
Noble 13402; Cleveland. 18000;
Canadian 12830; Greerv 8500; Paw-
nee 8293;Woodward 7487; Blaine
0415; Washita 5404; G 5200;
Beaver 4778; Roger Mills 1207 and
Day Gil. Tho population of tho In-
dian reservation is 12500.
Tho tax valuation was $24810711
Logan county with 52S30512. and D
county with 153270 representing the
extremes.
No new railroads wero built during
tho year. Tho university at Norman
tho normal school at Edmond and tho
agricultural college at Stillwater aro re
ported to bo flourishing. Tho insane
aro provided for under contract with tho
Oklahoma Sanitarium Company whose
asylum is at Norman. Tho company
was paid 830253.54 during the year.
Seventy-seven patients wero rccicved
from tho Jacksonville- asylum and 108
from tho counties. There were 110
men and 89 women incarcerated and
thirty-seven wero discharged thrco es-
caped and nineteen died.
Tho Oklahoma csrn crop is estimated
at about 5000000 bushels and tho
Kaffir corn crop at over half that.
Peach and melon interests aro growing.
Tho governor is of tho opinion that
immediate allotment in severalty is tho
best solution of tho Indian problem. As
to tho free homes question ho expresses
himself unqualifiedly in tho affirmative
emphasizing the injustice of laying on a
new and struggling commonwealth a tax
"which tho accumulated wealth of 100
years would groan to pay."
t - -
What's fho matter with Governor
Rcnfrow anyway? In histannual report
recently filed with the Secretary of tbo
Interior ho states that tho population of
Woodward couuty is 7487 and Beaver
county 4778. Neither couuty comes
anywhere ucar those figurca. Beaver
county probably contains about 3500
peoplo and it will hurry Woodward
county to show up over 3000.
A report goes out from Muskogee
this week that trouble is brewing in tho
Choctaw nation but wo who livo in tho
nation sec no signs of it A request for
a few Indian police if it he truo that
such a request Iia9 been mado to attend
tho Choctaw council aud look after tho
festivo whisky peddler is no indication
that a "fearful internecine" war is im
minent as this all-knowing correspon
dent would have tho outside world be-
lieve Wo predict that tho coining ses-
sion of council will bo tho' quietest and
characterized by tho most orderly and
peaceful deliberations of any of this
nation's general councils for years.

Blown dust is a general and familiar
nuisance to housekeepers over tho entire
west. A minimum estimate verified by
direct observation for the quantity of
dust settling on floors during such
storms is about a fourteenth of an ounce
of dust ou a surface of a square yard in
half a day. A. maximum estimate mado
on tho basis of the above newspaper ac-
counts would be at least five pounds to a
squaro yard of surfaco for a storm lasting
twenty-four hours. If wo then suppose
that a house that is twenty-four feet
wido and thirtytwo feet long has crev-
ices which average a sixteenth of an
inch in width and having a running
length in windows and doors of ono hun
dred and fifty feet tho wind may bo
supposed to eutcr half of theso crevices
with a velocity of five miles per hour for
tho time tho storm lasts or for twenty
four hours. Tho dust may be supposed
to fettle on not less than cighly-livo
squaro yards of surface including floor
space and horizontal surfaces of furni
ture. Tho minimum estimate based on
these figures gives us two hundred and
twenty fire tons of dust to tho cublo
mi!o of air. Tho maximum estiiuatu
would bo one hundred and twenty-six
thousand Ions Appleton's Science

Blind people's firat experience of"
sight aro curious . An old man in
Pembroke Ontario who was born blind
received hia bight by tho removal of a
cataract. When the bandage was firt
removed thepatient started violently nnd
cried out ns if with fear and for awhile
was quite nervous from the effect of the
shuck For tho first tinitJ in lifo he
looked upon the earth. The first thing
no noticed was a flock el'wild sparrows.
In relating hU experience ho said he
thought thoy wero teacups although a
few moments later ho readily distin-
guished a watch which was shown him.
It is supposed this recognition is owing
to tins fact that ho heard it ticking.
Tho blazo from a lamp excited tho most
lively mrpriso in his mind. Ho had no
idea what it was nnd when it was
brought uear ho wanted pick it up.
When tho night approached upon tho
day when ho fust used his eyes ho wns
in a fright fearing that ho was losing
tho sight which ho had so wonderfully
found after sixty jcars' darkness. Star.
