Governor Haskell and associ-
ates in the alleged "town lot
frauds" secured a continuance of
the trial at Tulsa. Foxy Guys'
Well, it's to snicker! The Gov,
is enjoying good health at Guth-
rie.
The proposition to amend the
Constitution in the interest of the
corporations should be given a
hell of a jolt on June nth, and
unless 1 am mesmerized the peo-
ple will deliver the jolt, alright,
alriirht.
The capital location fight now
on has no surprise for me, neither
is the Governor's attitude in
whooping it up for Oklahoma
Citv. A man who will not stand
by his friends is an ingrate. How
much did Oklahoma Cityan;- pay
for the New State Tribune—
S-o.ooo? Of course, there s no
connection between the two deals
— I didn't say there was---but 1
do say those < )klahoma City fell-
ers can look into the future fur-
ther than any other bunch in the
wide, wide world. I -h—huh!
There's no graft possibilities hid-
den in this capital removal bill---
U-h—huh! Abas the thought.
Guthrie will win because the peo-
ple have the habit of swatting
grafters, and the people are 'next,'
bet on that.

G. W. Mitchell, of Kingfisher,
announces himself for county
judge subject to the decision of
the republican primary election.
Mr. Mitchell's native state is
Pennsylvania, educated in Illin-
ois where he began teaching
school early in life, and taughi.
I several terms. Studied law and
| commenced the practice <>l law in
Illinois. Moved to Kansas where
! he practiced law seven years prior
to coining to Oklahoma. He
came to Oklahoma at the opening
of the C. iV A., country in 1S92.
rode in the race and took a claim
which he improved. Since com-
ing to Oklahoma he has practiced
law with success, and also engag-
ed in agriculture, horticulture and
stock raising with good results.
From constant application, hard
labor and economy he has accu-
mulated property, is a tax payei,
a moral man and a good reliable
citizen. Mr. Mitchell was elect-
ed a member of the school board
and served the year the school
building was built; was chairman
of the committee that drafted the
course of study for both the white
and the colored schools of-the city.
Was a member of the city council
when the city park was improved.
And in this position he gave gen-
eral satisfaction. He is well ac-
quainted all over the county has
been co.mtv committeeman for
the Fifth ward. Kingfisher city,
for many vears, has always taken
an active part in politcs and has
been an enthusiastic worker for
his party. He has never asked
for a county or state office until
now, and is deserving of recogni-
tion. Mr. Mitchell is well quali-
fied for the office of county judge
—he has a judicial mind and an
honest purpose to do right. The
announcement of his candidacy is
everywhere being met with favor
and eommendatien from the press
and public. He will be a strong
man in the race, and if elected,
will make a good judge.
Geo. Laing. the genial, whole-
souled Clerk of the District Court,
will be in the field for re-nomina-
tion. He has been one of the
best county officers and we be-
lieve his past record in public
duty will be a large asset in gain-
ing for him the re-election to the
office of the Clerk of the District
Court. On another page is his
announcement which we take
pleasure in publishing.
Fields Bros., have moved their
feed store into the old Cromwell
building which they recently pur-
chased. They will make some
extensive improvements and deal
in feed and hay on a larger scale,
handling larger amounts of farm
and garden seeds, and also carry
a full and complete line of groc-
eries and may carry a line of dry
goods later on. The building <>11
Main street is for rent.
The regular school meeting
Tuesday afternoon was the best
attended of any. After the re-
port of the treasurer and clerk
were read the voting for two
members of the board were in or-
der. Mr. Knight, who was fill-
ing the unexpired term of Mr.
Webb, was given the office of
treasurer by unanimous vote.
The office of clerk was again to
be filled and two nominations
were made, one Mr. I logan, the
present incumbent, and Mr.
1 Washburn. The votes stood 10
Lo ^7 in favor of Mr. Hogan, who
j has made a good clerk and will
again do his duty for our town
school. The question of mills
were decided by 10 mill levy for
school purposes and 1 1-2 mill
levy for sinking fund, figuring
from a basis of 7 months term
with 4 teachers employed. It
was also decided to find how the
sentiment of those present stood
on the proposition of cement
walks or to repair the old board
walks. The cement walks were
favored by all.

essary to name the score Cashion
made as there is no honor to be
derived from a bunch of good
ball players to jump up against
three little girls who were handi-
capped by six boys in the same
team. The game, being a novel-
ty, was amusing, barring a few
| unavoidable accidents. It having

the ground was too muddy and
I slippery. About 400 people were
present.
