House Committee Will Consider |
Oklahoma Statehood.
Delegation From Oklahoma Will
Visit Washington.
From Wichita Ka^le.
Washington, Jan. 10. The j
house committee on territories!
today fixed the 23rd instant for!
hearings'on the Oklahoma statu- j
hood bill, the 551st for the Arizona
statehood bill and February 7
for the New Mexico statehood
bill.
The bill to create the Terri-
tory of Jefferson out of the
Indian Territory was referred to
a sub-committee, headed by Mr.
Knox of Massachusetts, and in-
cluding Mr. Flynn, the delegate
from Oklahoma.
Guthrie, O. T., Jan. 10 A
demonstration calling the atten-
tion of Congress forcibly to
Oklahoma statehood will prob-
ably be made by citizens of
Oklahoma in Washington when
the statehood bill is called up by
the committee on the 253rd of
this month. L. G. Niblack, edit
or of the Guthrie Leader, pro-
moter of the scheme, has been
several weeks in perfecting de-
tails. It is planned to run a
train of Pullman cars, carrying
300 citizens of Oklahoma from
Oklahoma City to Washington
and return, the trip to cover ten
days. The train will be decorat-
ed with banners, and the repre-
sentatives of the different towns
and counties will distribute
advertising portraying the re-
sources of Oklahoma and the
rights of her people to enjoy the
benefits of statehood.
It is believed that the presence
of this number of energetic men
in Washington will attract more
attention than all the petitions
and memorials that could be
presented to congress. There
will be a carefull selected com-
mittee to seek the acquaintance
of metropolitan newspaper cor-
resjxnidents in Washington and
urge them to give Oklahoma the
greatest possible amount of
publicity in her struggle for
statehood.
Mr. Niblack has the assistance
of W. H. lied wine of Pawnee in
arranging for the excursion.
The party will use the sleeping
cars while in Washington and
the individual cost will be small.
Several railroad companies are
figuring on the proposition, and
if a guarantee of 300 excursion
ists can be given it is believed
that the cost for each passenger
will not exceed $53. Commercial
clubs in different towns will be
asked to co operate.
Freight Train Crashes Into Work
Train at Okeene, 0. T.
i A dispatch from Wichita to
I the El Reno American, dated
Jan. 13, says: A freight train
running twenty miles an hour on
the Okeene, Oklahoma branch of
the Rock Island road crashed
into a work train which was
standing in a siding at Okeene
at 0 o'clock this morning and
killed Bridge Foreman H. K.
Bear of this city and Carpenter
E. A. Colby, of Galva, Kansas.
The men in the work train werel
still asleep and were buried
under the debris which caughti
tire and threatened to roast;
every one of them. The crew
of the freight train and some
citizens by herculean efforts
saved them. The injured are
Brakeman Frank Hoop, Foreman
James Casey and Engineer John
Yeaton of the freight train and
four men of the work train named
Mitchell, Jackson, Burk and
Potter. None of them are injured
fatally.
The cause of the wreck was |
the malicious breaking of a'
switch lock and the throwing of
the switch by some unknown
person.
H. K. Bear, the dead foreman
had a half interest in the drug-
store of C. L. Lease of this city,'
the husband of Mary E. Lease.
His body was brought here to-
night.
WILL GET THERE
No stronger proof of the pro-
gressive spirit of Oklahoma
towns can be cited than the num-
ber of commercial clubs in the
territory. Every Oklahoma town
from the little cross-roads village
with seventy-five inhabitants up
to the larger towns with their
dreams of eventual commercial
supremacy over the entire south
west, has its organizations boost-
ing the town.—State Capital.
All but Hobart. Hobart has
no commercial club,but will have
one very soon. No one in partic-
ular is to blame for Hobart not
having a well organized business
men's club at this time. Every-
one has been busy with his own
individual affairs, but now as the
rush of holidays is over we see
1 no reason why we should not
i proceed at once to organize.—-
i Hobart Republican.
I Sorry, but we are compelled to
i say, "All but Kingfisher." King-
fisher will have a commercial
club "someday." Everyone has
(been busy making money and
| cannot find the time to let loose
lof somuof it to go towards the
upbuilding of the town. We will
have a club some day but will
I have no subject to use it on.
Kingfisher Times.
All but Hennessey. Hennes
, soy has a poker club, which is
the nearest we can get to a com-
mercial club. If Eastern or
Northern capital desires an in
vestment the latter will look
after it in good shape.

BANK ROBBED.
Safe Blown And $2,000 Taken.
loss Fully Covered by
insurance.
The Peoples Bank at North
Enid whs robbed Sunday night
of about sjc',000. President
Spalding was in the bank Sun-
day and everything seemed to be
all right. When Spalding came
down town Monday morning he
found the bank hud been robbed.
The burglars entered the
rear door and removed :i portion
of the brick vault above the safe.
One of the cracksmen then
crawled in and drilled a hole in
the safe door. Dynamite was
used, but the sound was muffled
owing to the fact that the vault
was closed. The door was
blown off. and about two thous-
and dollars in money and some
| valuable papers were taken or
j destroyed.
The bank building was not
i near any other buildings where
j people slept, so the sound was
not heard, unless it aroused Mr.
! Will man, who sleeps across tin-
, street. He thinks he heard a
muffled sound about two o'clock.
The Peoples bank carried $">,
000 burglar insurance, and will
loose nothing. There is no dew
to the robbers.
Many of the blotches, pimples
and other affectations of the skin
are caused bv the failure of the
liver and kidneys to cast off irn
purities, which remain in the
system. Herbine will stimulate
the liver and kidneys, and cleanse
the system of all impurities.
