WHICH IS RIGHT?
A Seeming Conflict in the Call for
a Statehood Convention.
TWO DIFFERENT NOTICES.

Oklahoma City and Sid Clarke I«-
Nuen One Tor Hliawnee-Twu
Explanatory l.eitern.
The following letters respecting the
two calls for statehood conventions
explain themselves:
Okiahoma City, Nov. 22.—Jake W.
Kru/., T. T. Flkiciii.k, It. NV. Dunlap
and others, Coiuiuittee, I'awnee, ().
T.— Gentlemen: I received by the
mail of this morning some printed
slips containing the proceedings of a
meeting of the citizens of l'awnee
county, calling a statehood convention
at < >Uiahoina City on .Ian. 8, 1800. 1
write to say that the regular state-
hood territorial executive committee
appointed by the last territorial state-
hood convention held at Kingfisher in
1HH4 have called a convention to meet
at Shawnee on Dec. 4, 1895, the call for
which I herewith enclose. There is
euueh interest being manifesfed in the
statehood question in all parts of the
territory, and the Shawnee convention
promises to be numerously attended.
1 presume that the members of the
county mass meeting at Pawnee were
not fully advised of the movements of
the regular statehood committee, and
that if they had been so a local call
for a territorial convention would not
have been issued. As we all agree in
making an earnest effort to induce the
ensuieig session of congress to give us
statehood at the earliest possible uio-
nt, to the end that we may be
relieved from the intolerable condi-
tions which exist here under territo-
rial rule and secure free homes, 1 take
it that your local committee will bt*
titirely willing to withdraw the local
call and join with the people of other
ounties at the Shawnee convention in
demanding the admission of Oklahoma
a state.
Assuring you of the hearty eo-opera-
tiou of a majority of the people of this
section of the territory, without dis-
tinction of party, in behalf of the
statehood movement I remain,
Sincerely yours,
Sidney ClarkK,
Chairman Statehood Territorial Execu-
tive Committee.

Ilie ICeply.
To the above letter the Pawne
committee made the following Veply:
Pawnee, Nov. 25. — Hon. Sidney
Clarkk, oklahoma City, O. T.—Dear
Your favor of the 22nd at baud
apprising us of the fact that you had
called a statehood convention to me
at Shawnee, Dec. 4th, ls'.'.">, and re-
quesTing us to withdraw the call here
tofore issued by this committee for a
convention to be held January 8, 1
at Oklahoma City. While it is possible
that our ':all would not have been pro-
mulgated had we known of your call,
yet owing to the faet that the Shawne
convention is called for so early a day
and in such an obscure, out of the way
place, we should probably have issued
our call in obedience to the instructions
of the convention by whom we were
appointed. Under your call it will not
be possible for half the counties to be
properly represented at the Shawnee
convention. What we want is a con-
vention of the people—not a few of the
politicians and a gang of townsite
boomers, and to the end that we may
have such a representative convention
of all the people, there should be time
for holding conventions as suggested
in our call. Such a convention you
cannot have under your call.
The people of the strip counties
never heart I of the committee of
which you are chairman, and had no
hand iu the creation of such commit
tee. nor any representation thereon,
and therefore did not know that it
was necessary to get your permission
to call a statehood convention. As our
call antedates yours, we suggest that
you withdraw yours and meet us in a
convention where the delegates will
feel that they are indeed the repre-
sentatives of the people and all of the
people. Von may rest assured that we
shall not withdraw our call. We are
backed by every county in the strip.
Of course you have the right to hold
your Shawnee convention and we hope
you will have a profitable time, but
we cannot get there, and therefore we
hold our convention on that gooa old
democratic day. Januury s, to which
convention you are cordially invited
Respectfully yours,
Jake W. Kurz,
Frank M. Thompson,

MAKING TKACKS FOR SCHOOL,
That's what the boys of Outhrie and vicinity are doing now and during
the rainy weather aud muddy streets at this time of the year, they need a first
class article in footwear to meet the emergency. Mad shoes and wet feet go
together, with sickness treading on their heels a ti«1 the boys making traeks for
home instead of school. Our school shoes are durable, waterproof, well-fitting,
warm and comfortable. Keep his mouth wet ami his feet dry and a boy will
always thrive. This latter end will be provided for by buying a pair of these
shoes; they will costless and wear longer than any other ahoe offered this
season.

Shawnee Quill: The Oklahoma Pres-
bytery at its recent meeting recom-
mended the board of church erection
to grant $800 for the erection of a
hurch building at Shawnee, hence
Shawnee will soon have another hand-

El Reno Globe: Dr. Parker, of Cloud
Chief, arrived in 101 Reno last night
and reports that he was held up and
robbed while enroute to this city from
his home. Just before he arrived at
Seger crossing two men started out of
the brush and ordered him to throw up
his hands. The doctor started to run
but when one of the men shot at him
he called a halt. They made him hold
up his hands and went through his
pockets. They got 8725 in cash which
the doctor was bringing to this city to
buy lumber to build a house.
Norman Transcript: All the excite-
ment about gold linds is not confined
to Norman and vicinity, since there is
hardly a township within a range of
tifty miles in Oklahoma or the Indian
territory contiguous to this city but is
being prospected for precious metals
East of Lexington a few miles it is re-
ported rich assays have been secured
from sampled of mineral, while at
Paoli, in the Chickasaw country,
south of Purcell a few miles, it is
known that there is silver and gold in
paying quantities and a company is
now being formed to work the prop-
erty.
North Enid Courier: Almost every-
thing imaginable has been discovered
in Oklahoma. And now eoenes The
State Capital and claims to have dis-
covered a poet in the territory equal
to James Whitcomb Riley. Frank
Patterson, of Seward, is the new can-
didate for literary honors. A sample
nugget of pure, poetic gold, fresh
from the soul of Poet Patterson, is
given by The State Capital. It runs
as follows: "Say, what's old rye
made for. do you think, if 'twasn't
made 'speslially to drink?" This indi-
cates that Poet Patterson is at least as
good a judge of whisky as his friend
and patron is of poetry.
GATHERING UP TIIE SHELLS.

Mrs. F. A. Warner, who is now liv-
ing in Jacksonville, Florida, writes to
The State Capital:
" Since coming south 1 have received
many letters of inquiry from home
friends, asking if I could send them
shells from the sea shore. Yes, and
now is a good chance to get them, for
we have just had a heavy storm at sea,
and the shore is strewn with fine
shells, lovely white corals, sea beans,
etc., and, our editor willing, I will
say to one and all that I will pick up
and mail a variety of shells to anyone
who sends a stamp or two for postage.
Anyone is welcome to send, and as the
holidays are so near, you may, if you
wish, call them a 'Christmas remem-
brance from Mrs. F. A. Warner, Jack-
sonville. Fla.' "

in the ludlau Territory.
Washington, Nov. 30.— [Special.]
Included in the report of the secretary
of the interior is that of the Dawes
commission to the five civilized tribes.
The commission, in reporting its fail-
ure to negotiate with the Indians,
says that the conditions have grown
worse instead of better since the last
report. Attention 's invited to the
fact that four-fiftha of the population
of Indian territory, amounting to 300,-
000 people, have no citizenship and
yet are largely responsible for the
prosperity of the Indians and develop-
ment of the country. They are not
intruders, but are invited und^r the
laws of the several tribes. These men
have built homes on Indian lands,
made property valuable, have children
of school age and yet are compelled to
educate them at private institutions,
though subservient to the Indian
laws.
In its conclusions the commission
says:
"There is no alternative left to the
United States but to assume the re-
sponsibility for future conditions in
this territory. Insecurity of life and
person and property increasing every
day makes immediate action impera-
tive.
"The pretense that the government
is*debarred by treaty obligations from
interference in the present condition
of affairs in this territory is without
foundation.
"The commission is compelled by the
evidence forced upon them during
their examination into the administra-
tion of the so-called governments in
this territory to report that these gov-
ernments in all their branches are
wholly corrupt aud irresponsible.
"It is, in the judgment of the com-
mission, the imperative duty of con-
gress to assume at once political con-
trol of the Indian territory. They
have come with great reluctance to
this conclusion and have sought by all
methods that might reach the convic-
tions of those holding power in the
territory to induce them by negotia-
tion and mutual agreement to consent
to a satisfactory change in their sys-
tem of government and appropriation
of tribal property."

For Your Suits Me to
The Catholic ladies desire tlie public
to know that the fair will be held dur-
ing the last three days of the first
week in December, that is December 5,
ti and 7, instead of the second week ah
heretofore stated. A large amount of
faucy work has been contributed by
the nuns of the many institutions of
the country, and the fair promises to
be one of the most interesting affairs
given for a long time in Guthrie.
From scrofulous, skin or scalp diseases,
ought to be given Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, for purifying the
blood. For children who are puny,
pale or weak, the "Discovery" is a
tonic which builds up both flesh and
strength. What is said of it for chil-
dren applies equally to adults. As an
appetizing, restorative tonic, it sets at
work all the processes of digestion
and nuitrition,rouses every organ into
natural action, and brings back health
and strength. In recovering from
"grippe," or in convalescence from
pneumonia, fevers, and other wasting
diseases, it speedily and surely invig-
orates and builds up the whole system.
For all diseases caused by a torpid
liver or impure blood, as dyspepsia,
billiousness, blotches and eruptions,
it gives most perfect satisfaction.
WILL CUT 1 HEM DOWN,
Mar luil Ni\ toKtdu
bol Deputy
Many I'nited States marshals are in
a very melancholy mood at present
over the contemplated bouncing of
one-half their number. A dispatch
from Washington says:
"After conferring with oflieials of
the department of justice, United
States Marshal Nix. of Oklahoma, con-
eluded that it would be possible to at-
tend to the business of his oflics with
eighty deputies instead of 1S4. Some
time ago the attorney general sent a
letter to Mr. Nix covering the mat-
ter of expenses brought about by
the wholesale employment of men to
lo deputy work in his office, and Mr.
Nix was asked to name and give the
postottice address of all his deputies.
This started a controversy which end-
ed with the reduction named."
