BEAVER BEAVER COUNTY OKLAHOMA TERRITORY THURSDAY JULY i 1897.
NO. 4.
Frank Fuhr editor of llio Globe lias
been appointed postmaster at Meade.
Wo congratulate.
At Inst one pop editor has struck a
job to his taste. Tom Smith the New-
kirk pop editor rcferced a prize fight
one night last week.
v Governor Barnea made tho following
appointments last week:
Amos A. Ening of Kingfisher coal
oil inspector; Frank fll. Thompson of
Pawnee territorial treasurer; John M.
Pugh of Woodward bank examiner.
An epidemio of hydrophobia has brok.
rn out down at Blackburn Okla. and
tho citizens are scared over it. It might
he well for tho owners .of dogs all over
the country to keep a cioso watch on
the brute.
T. A. Scales of Liberal who was re--coolly
appointed receiver of the lund
ofitce at ilodgo City is a good all around
man. Though he lives in Kansas ho
represented Beaver county in tho state
hood convention at Oklahoma City a
year or two ago.
Debs says if tho government sends
tho military to invade the lights of his
new colony there will bo 1500000 "pat-
riots" to meet that army on tho state
line. Wc)l they may meet the army
but it won't bo any talking match. They
will need rations too badly to talk much.
Dick Qui nn says' that even if tho
Bkaveii IIehAld is tho oldest paper
in Oklahoma isisint old enough to
run on tho same basis as his paper.
True. And it never will be. When
you sec this paper being lun on the plan
of the llardcsty Herald you wilt know
that tho wtiter has cither died or sold
out.
It took a Kpnsas editor to get out
these valuable statistics. It costs the
people of the Uuitcd States S25.000
000 a year to bo born 8300000000 a
.year to bo married $75000000 to bo
buried and $900000000 to get drunk.
On the principle the bent is not always
tho cheapest what is the matter with us
all taking the drunk? Ex.
Tho Wichita Beacon will read itself
out of the Demppoposilvcrocpublico camp
if it publishes many more such things as
this which we find in one of its last week's
issues.
"There is a little curiosity to find out
who will pay that salary of $100 a month
each to Debs uud his. fellow officers of
tho "Social Democracy." Tho colony
is to bo mado up of men without work.
Perhaps some philanthropist wilt supply
iho necessary funds for a start."
Pants arc made for men and not for
women. Women are mado for men and
not for pants. When man pants for
a woman and a woman' pants for a man
they ard a pair of pants; such pants don't
last. Men aro often mistaken in pants
Such mistakes aro breeches of promise.
There has been much discussion as to
whether pants is singular or plural
Seems to me when men wean pantsrit is
plural and when they don't wear pants
it is singular. Meuv go on a tear in
their pants and it is all right. When
pants go on a tear it is all wrong. Ex.
That "new" fanatical religious seel in
tbo cast end of tho territory is only
tho old faith cure sect and they suc
ceeded iu killing people just the same.
A short time ago near Homestead a
child of John Ceigcr one of th'o sect
becamo very ill with whooping cough
and was allowed to strangle to death tho
parents and neighbors refusing to do
anything for its relief saying that if tho
Lord wanted it to live He would look
out for it. Last week they induced
Mrs. J. F. Eubariks who was very ill
to dischargo her doctor and join them.
She did so. was baptized and nothing
more was done but pray for her. She
died in a few days.
Those federal officials appointed un-
der Cleveland are as a rule being al-
lowed to servo out their time of office in
case they perform their duties conscieu
tiomly and on business principles but
when'they get to thinking they are the
whole show and uso their power of of
Gee to satisfy petty personal spite or
partisan prejudice they are promptly
fired. This fact is so evident that
should tho next administration be dem-
ocratic about the worst recommendation
a democratic pie hunter ran have will be
that he was removed from office by tho
present administration before his time
warout. The Hon. Robert J. Bay had
several months yet to serve as register of
the land office at Woodward when the
edict of ono MoKinlev down at Wash
ingtoHj relegated him to private life.
Statehood.
That Oklahoma in point of popula-
tion wealth and everything else that
goes to make up a state is Qualified and
ready to take her place in the sisterhood
of states no ono can deny but that sho
will get statehood in the near future
few believe. The population of Okla-
homa and tho Indian Territory is over
050000 and if tho two territories wcro
moulded into ono slate it would rank
thirtieth in tho list of forty-six. Okla
homa alone has a larger population and
far greater wealth than had Utah when
she Was admitted and has none of tho
undcsirablo elements of tho latter.
There are pomething liko 100000 intel-
ligent business men farmers and stock
men in Oklahoma who have no voico in
tho general government. Oklahoma is
the champion wheat cotton and cattlo
country in th'o United States. Many
vexed questions would he settled should
statehood materialize. But with all the
reasons why wo should have statehood
tho political compaction of (he territory
is so much at varianco with that of the
majority of tho pcoplo of tho Union as
to placo tho desired object among tho
possibilities and not the probabilities.
Wo all want statehood bad enough and
would accept the condition most any
time but wo need not bo surprised if it
is delayed until after tho cows come
home.
Look Out For Another Raise
The territorial board of equalization
completed its labors at Guthrio last
Wednesday after three days session.
Tho valuation of tho several counties
was found to have been very difforcnt.
Logan county was taken as a basis to
work on and other counties will bo
equalized with it which makes an ag-
gregate raise and will increase tho terri-
torial tax receipts ' about 810000 in or-
der to meet the necessary current ex-
penses of tho territory.
Taking Logan county as a basis is
apt to increaso the assessed valuation of
Beaver and the other western cattle
counties considerably as live stock is as-
sessed higher in the counties whero it
represents but a small proportion of tho
total valuation. Wo do not know what
price cattlo and horses wcro assessed at
in Logan county but tho pcoplo of
Beaver county might just as well bo
prepared for a raise of onywhrro from
25 to 00 per cent in tho assessed valui
ation of their property. Tho board
meets again tomorrow when the re
ports from the different counties will be
in and can bo equalized.
Warning.
Washington June 23. In accord-
ance with tho law for thn suppression of
contagious diseases among domestic ani-
mals Secretary Wilson of the agricul-
tural department has issued to the man-
agers and agents of railroads and trans-
portation companies stockmen and

ing.thcm to bo affected with the con-
tagious disease referred to; and it is also

portation compauics or individuals en-
gaged in tho business of shipping and
tronsportinK sheep aro. r:quested to co-
operate with tho department ' in the cn-
forcment of tho laws for preventing tho
spread of tho disease and orders are
given that cars boats or vehicles which
have been used for transportation of an-
imals affected shall be immediately
cleaned and dssinfected. Don't move
your sheepT
' Only $2500000.
Guthrie O. T. June 24. Tho ter-
ritorial board of equalization completed
its labors to-day having raised the as-
sessed valuation ot most of the counties
in the territory the aggregate raise for
the entire territory being 82500000.
as the raise is a general horizontal one
raising tho value of money securities
stocks bank deposits etc. along with
real estate it will bo contested in tho
courts from every county.

The committee appointed at the terri-
torial encampment to choose a device
for an Oklahoma badgo for the G. A.
E. and W. R Cruet in Kingfisher
June 24th and reached an agreement
Tho bsdgo adopted is a picture of a
sheaf of wheat a stalk of cotton a clus-
ter of grapes and peaches; the badgo is
white silk with two flags crossed upon it
and the pendant is tho coat of arms of
Oklahoma. On the. pin is lettered G
A. It. ladies of tho G. A. 11. or W. It.

represents.
This won't suit Beaver county at all.
What wo want out hero for a device is a

sixshooters and Winchesters galoro
Attorney General Cunningham has
been called upon to straighten out one
of tho kinks of demo-pop legislation
which the lato mongrel aggregation of
democrats and populists inflicted upon
tho suffciing people of Oklahoma. The
point in question- was raised by J. B.
Harrison county attorney of ltogcr
Mills county and concerns tho authority
of tho county clerk under tho provisions
of tho new feo and salary law to collect
a fee of $10 for every liquor license is.
sued which in in direct conflict with
section 3 of the liquor traffic law limit-
ing tho clerk's feo for issuing licenso to
82.50 Tho hitter act was approved by
the governor March II and tho feo and
salary act was approved March J 2 in
view of which fact tho attorney general
gives it as his opinion that tho provision
of tho fee and salary bill should prevail.
In accordance with this opinion the
county clerk will continuo to collect the
810 fee. State Capital.
Men who mako weapons of statistics
arc poking a good deal of fun at Eugene
V. Debs and other officials of tho co-
operative commonwealth by pointing
out somo of tho difficulties which lio in
the way of tho vast urmy of 10d000
men whom Debs proposes to tako to the
state of Washington to form a colony.
VA railroad man a&ks how these men
aro to bo moved if they are to go by
rail it will cost a big fortune -to pay
their fares. Tho lowest fare from
Chicago which is to be tho central
point of tho army's movements to Spo-
kand Wash. would be a half rate of
posssibly $25 It would thcreforo
tako $2500000 to buy' tho railway
tickets. It estimated that it would cost
at. least $0 to feed each man on the trip
between Chicago and Spokane. That
would be 8000000 more or $3100000
in all. Perhaps Debs and his associates
can raise that amount of money without
difficulty but it is suggested that these
100000 men bo taken overland in
wagons. What would be gained by
adopting that method of transportation?
Tho journey from Chicago to Washing--
ton it is estimated takes five months.
The feed fur tho horses or oxen the
board of tho men daring the journey
and tho first cost of tho wagons would
ic is estimated bring tho cxpenso of tie
trip up to 858 for each man. Then tho
total cost of getting tho army to the
Pacific coast would bo $5800000.
Wo have no doubts that Debs and his
fellow directors of the defunct Ameri-
can Railway Union who bavo elected
themselves directors of tbo co-operativo
commonwealth will see how to provido
ways and means. They have already
taken care of themselves by providing
that each director shall rcccivo a salary
of 8100 a month so it is to be inferred
that they wttl manage tho financial part
of tho cntcrprbo in a successful manner.
But before any man with a littlo mon-
ey laid by for' a rainy day gives his sup.
port to tbo latest Debs movement ho
should bo thoroughly satisfied as to tho
outcomo of the attempt to tako tho army
across tbo continent to this modern
Utopia. Cleveland Leader.
Thero was an immense lot of fine fat
black and slick porkers assaulted and
assassinated and scalded at Dold's pack-
ing houso yesterday. A -reporter for
tbo Eagle got tbero just in time for the
killing and it was certainly worth see-
ing. He followed tho hogs from the
stock yards over to the packing house
and some of them wero slaughtered and
in tho cooling room before the reporter
got there. Tbo man who npver saw a
bog disposed of in a packing house has
no idea of the rapidity with which it
can be done. Away up at the top of
tho buildings so high that a tall man
has to stoop for fear of bitting his head
against a star the bloody work is done
and to say the job is sanguinary is put-
ting it mild. The hog is caught by the
bind leg swung on a pulley and then
carried down a sliding rail with great
rapidity. Liko the villian in the play a
man stands there up to his ankles in
blood catches the moving squealing
animal by tho car digs a keen knife onco
into its throat and sends it to kingdom
conic. As ho moves tho blood spurts
out of his throat liku water out of a firo
hydrant. About on eighth part of a
second after the hog is stuck ho has
reached a point on tho slido directly
over an immense tank of boiling water
a lever is sprung and tho animal drops
into it. He is tot there more than a
few seconds when another lever is
sprung and he is thrown upon a plat-
form; then caught by the leg and i
yanked through tho tlaving machine.
He comes out as white and clean as it is
possible to imagine. Ho docs not look
like the samo hog at all notwithstanding
the fact that he is not in the shaving
machine moro than ten seconds The
poor fellow never quit squealing. About
fivo feet from this mauhino ono man
catches him by tho tear and tho first
thing you know you see his head drop-
ping into a big box about twenty foot
away. The intestines fall into another
big box and tho hog slides on 100 feet
further where" his weight is recorded
without stopping him. This is dono for
tho purpose of ascertaining the difference
between .tho drcssod and livo weight of
a lot of hogs. Ho is still sliding whero
follows aro at work lipping him up the
baek cutting off his legs and taking
such other post-mortem liberties with
him m pcoplo aro in tho habit.of doing
around a packing house. Thrco minutes
ago ho was a hog alive well and noisy;
now ho is nothing but a miscellaneous
assortment of pork tallow tongue cars
tail snout and feet scattered throughout
ten acres of building and never to meet
again in this world or tho next for tho
hog is an animal thaf has no future.
Tho poor fellow gets the worst of it
every move he makes in tho packing
house and the world is so hungry for
him that be is not given half time
enough to die. Nobody who sees the
proceedings of tho butchery can fail to
feel delighted that ho is not a hog.
There aro two 'silent individuals con-
nected with the wholn-.aflatr. .. One is
tho man who docs the stabbing tho
other is tho government inspector who
stands by and sees that every animal is
in tho best of health when the man
with tho keen blado gives it (o him in
tho nrck. Tlicso two men arc not a bit
sociable cither with themselves or with
visitois. The life of tho hog is in tho
hands of tho sticker and tho lifo of tho
alarmed people of Germany aro in the
hands of tho-government inspector. Mr.
Gcorgo Dold personally superintends all
the principal work of tho packing house
and works as hard as any of his men.
Ho treats tho visitors tG his house with
great courtesy. Wichita Eagle.
