Willis Smith and iMisses Madge
and Eunice came to the house,
took a short rest then went to
Manitou and Iron Springs, and
the remainder of the week we
put in sight seeing.

and Mrs. Plo Thompson, nee Flo
Baxter. At 7.80 p. m. Willis
started to lind a Christian
Church, and meeting an old
colored woman he asked where
he could find a Christian Church.
Auntie informed him that they
wereallChristian Churches, 'cept
that (Jamolit,e Church down the
street. We dropped into the
Presbyterian Church, heard a
very good discourse, at least I
did; Willis soon went to sleep,
being quite tired as I had fox
trotted and single-footed him
pretty hard the past 5 days.
When the congregation arose for
the last hymn, Willis got up and
rubbed his eyes and asked me
"who got the nomination " lie
had been dreaming and thought
that he was in Oklahoma in a
political convention, and the
night was very cool and Willis
was drinking lots of water and
said it was awful tine.
Monday—we all went to the
depot, mot C. C. Smith and wife,
Pat Hamer, wife and daughter,
Mrs. Ehler and Joe, Emmet
Cockrell and wife and Miss Myrl
Smith. I located the crowd and
went home sick with tonsililis.
Tuesday & Wednesday—was
sick, but refused to take medi
cine. Mrs. Rector and Willis
calfed the Doctor and I took
medicine all night, but was worse
in the morning; the landlady
was sick and I gave her my
medicine.
Thursday & Friday — Land-
lady still alive, but quit medicine.
Friday Elm met sick, called me
and I prescribed a hot pack, and
later I was discharged from the
case; Drs. C. C. Smith and Pat
Hamer, Ostepaths and Magnetic
Healers, applied lightning lina
ments and massaged his back,
and Saturday Emmet was better,
but was awful hot (t mean his
b'tck )

about 2lK) Oklal lomans met in
Stratum's Park with well tilled
baskets, s|>ent the day and after

good time in general. Met Dr.

others.

myself went to the First M K

pipe organ West of New Y01 u,

ev r heard, he thought it \ as
thundering and wanted to u>>
h< me, but soon quieted down
a id remained until the ■services
were over, Sunday afternoon all
1 gathered at the Hennessey Head-
quarters; the Smiths, Pitneys
and Miss Byars at the Piano;
Chett wanted to sing a solo, hut
I would not stand for it as I was
a little hemp sick.
Monday—crowd turned over
to Willis for the week. Saturday
Willis finding the clip he had set
was to last for him concluded to
go home, business engagements
being his excuse, so he and Miss
Madge ieft for home. I think
Willis was mad-at me, as he re-
fused to kiss me good-by. "Come
Iback Willis, the water is line."
| Wednesday — marched with
the Colorado (J. A. li. Post, No.
j22 as an escort to the 15th
Pennsylvania Cavalry; got wet as
a pup.
Thursday All O. K. Thurs-
day night attended the musical
recital at Perkins Hall given in
honor of the 15th Penn. Cavalry.
They sang all the old war songs
and patriotic pieces, and spent
an enjoyable evening. I was ac-
companied by t.lie Messrs. Hec-
tor, Ehler and Cheley. There
were over tive hundred gathered
to hear the old war songs. Gen-
eral Palmer being present.
This was the most enjoyable
evening since coming to the
Springs. Friday the Hennessey
crowd had all gone but Mrs.
Ehler itml Joe and they leave
this evening.
Monday— I will go to Canon
City to visit my brother and if
the weather is cool enough in
Oklahoma, will return by the Gill
of September.
Very respectfully,
N Hector.
With a wave of the hand and
simple "working of his mouth,"
as illustrated in his story on Joe
Blackburn of Kentucky, he
brushed aside as of no conse-
quence the utterances of Hon.
Wm. H. Taft, one of the greatest
constitutional lawyers in the
United States, as given to the
people in his speech at Oklahoma
city last Saturday. But a care
ful reading of that speech will
turn many a voter against the
proposed constitution.
HAS ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
Oklahoma Cities Can Enact Local
Saloon Laws.
Cordell, O. T., Aug. 18.
(Special.) Holding that a city has
a right to imitose requirements
additional to those ilnposed by
the Oklahoma law as the neces-
sary preliminaries for securing
a saloon license, Judge Milton
Garber refused a writ of man-
damus of James Crahtree who
sought to force the city of Cor
dull to grant a saloon license.
Crabtree had secured thirty-
one signatures to his application
for a license as is required by
the territory law. The city
council, however, had passed an
ordinance requiring the signa-
tures of a majority of the prop
erty owner* in the ward where
the saloon was to be established.
Judge Garber held that the city
had a right to establish the addi-
tional requirement.
'Defender of the Constitution."
The speech of Hon. Robert L.
Owen in the opera house last
Monday afternoon waslistened to
by an audience of 200 or 250 per-
sons. Mr. Owens is an able
man, a good speaker and as "de-
fender of the constitution," a
title which lie gave himself,
made as good a showing, we
think, as anyone could under
similar circumstances. He
selected the best features of the
constitution, many of which
could not be objected to by any
citizen, and assuming that the
republican party was opposing
them, appealed to the people to
approve them by voting for the
constitution—and especially if
they voted for the constitution to
also vote for the democratic
candidMtes for the* legislature
who would legislate in harmony
with the constitution. Right
here is the milk in the cocoanut!
Mr. Owen is a candidate for
United Stales Senator, and his
election depends on having a
democratic majority in the legis-
lature.
lit; admitted an injustice had
b >en done the republican party
in the lirst apportionment made
by the con con, but that lie'and
other leading members who
were tilled with a desire to do
fcood only to their mistaken
political enemies had corrected
that wrong and now considered
that "equal and exact justice"
had been meted out to them.
What the Brewers Really Think
of Prohibition.
The Kansas Issue gives the
following slartlinginsidegliinpse
of brewery opinion: "One of
Kansas" temperance workers
recently while traveling on the
train engaged his seatmnte in
conversation which after a few
minutes drifted to the question
of the prohibitory law. His com-
panion proved to be an agent of
the Sclilitz Brewing Company,
and in the course of the conver-
sation said:
"Anybodywhosays that prohi-
bition does not prohibit is either
a liar or a f<x>l, I am now on my
way to Wisconsin. I also work
in North Dakota, and I can sell
more beer in Wisconsin in four
days than 1 can sell in North
Dakota in four months? Our
company is not telling this, but
we are doing all we can to dis-
gust the people with prohibition
so that if the question ever comes
to the people they will vote out
prohibition."
REPUBLICAN TICKET.
The P-D. Will Please Notice.
Guthrie, Okla Aug 21— Fred
Elkins, Assistant Attorney Gen-
eral, prepared an opinion yester-
day, in answer to a query from
J. B. Thompson, chairman of the
democratic state central com-
mittee, to thu effect that a county
coroner and a public weigher
must be nominated in each of
the counties of tlm new stale, as
the offices are in existence until
changed by the state legislature.
Because the constitution is
silent in regard to these two
county offices, in many instances
they have not been considered in
nominating county tickets. Mr.
Elkins says:
"The offices of public weigher
and coroner are created by Sec-
tion 12115 of Wilson's statutes,
1908. This office has held and is
still of the opinion that under
provisions of section 2 of the
schedule • of the constitution,
th \se offices will continue to ex-
ist until the law is changed by
the state legislature."
If you are in urrears, now is
the time to visit theClipper office.

PROFESSOR SAHUELS
and His Great Work
The public lias not of late read of his work, nevertheless
he is still in the land of the liv ing and his office is still at 153
North Main Street, Wichita, and unless the public is given
absolute proi f of his wonderful cures the people could hard
ly be expected to believe them. Below is proof from Kaw
City, Okla , Kay county, where a child was cured of that
dreadful disease, known as almost incurable, epileptic fits.
The government statistics give out that only 8 per cent are
cured; Prof. Samuels under his method so far has cured at
least 80 per cent.
"Wo would have published the names of many persons
that have been cured by us but the fieople feel rather deli-
cate about it," explains the professor. "If those that are
willing to be cured of epileptic fits would call, they can get
•the names of quite great many people that would be glad to
tell them. Epileptic tits are like consumption, the world
has given it up that there are no drujfs at all that will reach
that dreadful disease.
"I hereby still claim that I am the only person in the
world that does cure tuberculosis," declare Prof. Samuels,
with the confidence of one who knows whereof he speaks.
The greatest results gotten in these is in Aim small towns
where everybody knows everyone and their ailments. That
is why Professor Samuels is away so much from the city
Those wishing to see him should send him a card by mail
and make their appointments. Head below:
From the Kaw City Star:—
"G. W. Nowcum, one of Kay
county's most prominent farm-
ers, was in town Monday and in
cidentally called at, the Star office
to tell us how Prof. Samuels had
cured his little seven-year-old
daughter of epileptic fits.
"lie says that she had been
suffering with this supposedly
i-icurable disease ever since she
was one year old, and that he
had done every conceivable thing
for relief, but to no avail until he
went to Prof. Samuels a year
ago this August The professor
told him he had cured epileptic
fits before and could do it again.
"Prof. Samuels immediately
began treatment through the
eyes and the littln girl has never
had any symptoms of the trouble
since. Mr. Newcum says she is
now as sound and well as any
child could be."
