Refreshing showers and genial sunshine have given new life to all sorts of vege-
table life. The activities of nature seem favorable to the production of everything nec-
essary for mans comfort and wnile a beneficent providence smiles upon us, let us forget
the depressing effects of panic and floods and hard times and dwell upon the benefits
and pleasures of more prosperous times which now, dawn upon us.
Remember this store has showers, of bargains in seasonable merchandise that will
gladdin your heart and not burden your purse. Sometime ago our store doctor diagnos
ed the case and found the heart beat of business too slow to perpetuate life. He adminis-
tered the correct remedy to stimulate trade.
REAL VALUES infuse new life into business quicker than anything. This is
manifest by the ready response to our announcement of the JUNE CLEAN UP SALE
which lasts until July 3rd.
The life giving virtues of these great bargains are indicated by the quickened puls-
ations of business which causes summer goods to take their departure and cash to flow
pretty freely into our tills.
Join the happy throng of satilied customers and visit this store as early and as
often as you can.
Courteous treatment accorded to all alike at
Holland's Cash Store,
Norman, Oklahoma.
ANGRY MOB DRAGS PRISON
ER FROM JAIL AND STRINGS
HIM TO TELEPHONE POST.
Wilburton, Okla., June 26- -Mob
violence dealt out justice with a sure
and certain hand, at one o'clock Sai-
urday morning, when seventy-five
armed men turned out the lights >f
this city, cut the telephone wires to
the home of the city marshal and the
I sheriff, then stormed the county jail,
capturing Sylvester Stennien, alias
"Alabama Red," a negro and hang
I ed him to a telephone pole.
At 4 o'clock the negro's body was
cut down, the lights were turned 011
again, and \\ ilburton i- as quiet as
though the lynching party had never
been attended.
Stennien murdered Albert Turner,
a one-armed deputy constable last
Thursday aftertion, when the con
stable arrested him near a coal mine
west of McAlester.

Washington, 1). C\, June 20.— 1 he
current report, which has been cir-
culated that J. George Wright, com-
misioner to the live civilized tribes,
wotild be dismissed, is apparently
without foundation.
At the white house today and at
the office of the secretary of the
interior, it was said that the story
lacked foundation.

CLEANS UP NEAT SUM ON
COTTON.
Chicago, 111., June 26.—Another
large sum of money has been added
to the fortunate speculative accounts
of James A. Patten, who has just
cleaned up" a big winning in cot-
ton. Close friends of the speculator
estimate the profits at about $500,000
or an average of about $2.50 a bale
on 200,000 bales.
1 he main investment was in Oc-
tober delivery, which advanced from
$10.25 to $10.90 before Mr. Patten
began unloading, and went to $1125
before he had finished his "clean up.'
According to friends the average
purchase price was not far from
$10.40. As in the marketing of his
big holding of May wheat, the selling
was not done in a wholesale way in
sufficient volume to break the mar-
ket, but was gradually fed to the
trade as its anxiety to buy increased.
What promises to be the nm-t mar
velous feast of genuine bargains ever
had in Norman begin> Monday morn
ing at the A. & V. -tore and will con-
tinue fifteen days.
Messrs. Aldriedge and Varncy now
have one of the neatest stores in
Norman. Their goods are all new
and their styles up to the minute.
You will need something new to
wear to Norman s big celebration.
When you go to look around to pur-
chase tin same don't forget to visit
the A. & V. store. Their goods are
right and the price during their spec-
ial fifteen day sale is simply the
lo
st ever.

The city equalization board met
this morning for the purpose of go-
ing over the Norman city assessors
books and to correct any inequali
ties in the assessments should any
have been made by the city assessor
or to hear complaints of any tax-
payer who may feel that lie has not
been assessed fairly. The imparl-
ance of the work of this board we
fear has never been fully appreciat
ed by the tax payers of the city as
they should appreciate. It will prob
ably take the board some days to do
the work properly. The entire ass
essmcnt of the property of the city
should be carefully gone over by the
board. Knough was shown to th<
board this morning to warrant the
board in making a close and very
thorough examination of all the ass
e*sments made in the city. There was
enough of inequalitite- in assess-
ments shown to the board this morn )
ing to impress upon the board the
need and the magnitude of the job.
In the past equalization boards in
Norman have been exceedingly lax
in discharging their duty, merely ac-
cepting the assessment as made by
the assessor, but we expect present
board to establish a new precednt,
for future board to follow, to-wit:
accept :io assessor's assessments
without examination.
