THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1903.
Twenty six brick and atone build-
ings are in courts of conitruction in
Ok *mab, I • T.
Tafc way the cotton murkst has been
acting the past week make* the planter
feel like giving a great horse laugh.
Kansas it not strictly in the swim,
but U seems, from the number of
twisters reported to have again got
into the whirl. ___
Oklahoma seems to be getting her
•bare of cyclones, as well as the other
features Dame Nature is lavishing with
so bounteous a band
A potato famine at Shawnee, the
biggest potato market in the country,
sent the retail price this week from
ninety cents to $1.20 a bushel.
In spite ot misgivings, something
has been tound that will put the auto-
mobile out of business. A Chicago
auto ran into the lake and was quench
ed.
All the army officers in Washington
are now required to wear un iforms.
Visitors hereafter will miss the pleas-
ure of mistaking them for messen-
gers __
Manila is now claimed to be the
cleanest city in the werld. American
occupation worked the same wonder
for that city that it did for Cuba and
Havana. _
President Roosevelt is credited with
having made 101 speeches in the past
twenty months. Well, the great
American people can stand it. When
Teddy talks he says something.
Last Monday the Orient paid out
til,340 in Osage county for right-of
army, which is proof enough that it is
mot going to use the Missouri Pacific
tracks from Wichita to Kansas City.
Roosevelt declares that he found
sleeping in a snow storm on a moun-
tain without a tent very exhilerating.
The president as a boy was puny and
Sickly. Outdoor life made him a ro
.bust man.
A $1,000 bill was loss on a New York
ferryboat, and now so many are claim-
ing it that it is difficulty to find the
real owner. In these prosperous times
dropping $1,000 bank notes seems to be
an ordinary occurrence.
There must be a surplus of anarchists
out m California. The president has
been annoyed more in that state by
threatening letters and dangerous
characters than in all the other states
through which he has traveled.
A New York woman who died the
other day left a will directing the pay-
ment of $50 a month for the support of
her poodle, and $100 a month for the
support of her father. The old man
man must realize that he had a close
call. __
Bryan’s Commoner says, “Mr. Cleve-
land has written a letter saying that he
4a not desirous of a nomination. Well,
if he ia not detiroua of being nominat-
ed he can console himself with the
thought that be is in harmony with the
democratic party on one question, for
■bis aversion to a nomination could not
ba greater than the aversion felt by
the democratic party.
According to a member of his cabinet
the president it “undoubtedly the
most personally popular man in the
country. McKinley was dangerously
popular, but I believe Roosevelt sur-
passes him in this respect.” The popu-
larity of McKinley was of a different
sort. Being an older man there was a
touch of reverence for hit character
and a confidence in the Bareness of bis
judgment that were peculiar. Presi-
dent Roosevelt’s popularity is that of
the first young man president. The
people like his dash and go and self
confidence. They admire his out-
spoken frankness and independence.
They have the supreme confidence in
his courage that they bad in McKin-
ley’s wisdom. There never were two
more popular presidents, or more un-
like in their perionalify.
When Thomas Dixon, Jr. in a recent
speech in Cleveland referred to hia
anticipation of a race war in this coun-
try and ventured the prediction that
the Anglo-Saxon would sweep the
negro off the face of this continent a
leavel headed old darkey in the audi-
ence remarked: “Not entirely, doctor,
not entirely. You’ll want a few ne-
groes left to do the sweeping.
President Roosevelt in a telegram to
Senator Hanna has signed his accept-
ance of an invitation to attend the
wedding of Miss Ruth Hanna and Jos-
eph Medili McCormick of Chicago,
which will be solemnized in Cleveland
June 1. The president and Mrs Roose-
velt will arrive at Cleveland on the
morning of June 1, probably returning
home on the following afternoon. The
ceremony will be performed in 8t.
Pauls Episcopal church at high noon
on June 1, Bishop Leonard officiating.
Hundreds of invitations have been is-
sued and many distinguished guests
from all sections of the country will be
present. Miss Hanna recently suffer-
ed an attack of typhoid fever at her
father’s winter home in Thomasville
t
Ga. She returned to Cleveland Sun-
day last and is now in good health.
Would it be equitable when a young
and stalwart man had attained his ma-
jority for a younger to say to him that
he should not put on the garb and as-
sume the duties of manhood and all
because the younger had not yet at
tained bis majority? Yet this is the
very position taken by the socalled
“Single” statehood advocates in regard
to Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
Oklahoma has arrived at majority, and
there is nothing in the eyes of God or
man to justly deprive this territory
from exercising the functions that fol-
low. If Indian Territory has fulfilled
the requiiements of the law, no one
but a selfish and scheming citizen will
be found opposing what is due that
territory.
Wednesday of last week, the cotton
market opened at New York at an ad-
vance of two to four points and ruled
fully as excited, though possibly hard-
ly so active as during some of the days
the week before. The initial advance
was due to further covering and ag-
gressive bull support following cables
which were sensationally strong. The
realizing, however, was enormous
and after prices bad been worked still
farther upward there came a break of
about 10al8 points from the best of the
morning. The highest price paid was
$11.94 per bale. The marked eased off
at close and the price went back to
$11.94. The total sale of futures were
estimated nt $£,000,000.
Kingfisher college’s representative,
Martin D. Coats, won the Oratorical
contest held at Oklahoma City last
Friday evening. Mr. Coats, victory was
very decisive, he being marked first by
every Judge save one. His oration
was entitled “Tolstoi.” Mr. A. G.
Robinson, of the A. & M. college won
second pluce. Mr1 Robinson’s address
on “A New State and its Opportun-
ities,” showed wonderful thought and
and study and was received with with
much interest. Third place was given
to George F. Duncan of the Univer-
sity at Norman. Mr Duncan spoke on
"The Ideal State.’, Miss Cox, Ed-
mond’s representative, was given last
place. Her subject was, “When all
the World Speaks English.”
The anual exodus to Europe has be-
gun, says the Wichita Eagle. A single
steamship last week took a thousand
first-class passengers amd $600,#00 in
gold, which about cov era the expendi-
tures of the tourists st an average of
$500 each—a very eonservatlve esti-
mate. Here we can account for at
least $76,000,000 a year of our favorable
balance, and it must be remember-
ed that this $75,000,000 or more ia simply
a gift to Europe for which we get no
material commodities in return. Ilis
spent in transportation, hotels and
sightseding, most commendable ways
for those who can afford them. At the
same time the millions are dumped
into English and Continental pockets
with on appreciable return. All of
which proves our wonderful prosperity
and wealth under our excellent tariff
With few exceptions, the central
thought of all the many speeches de-
livered by the president on his extend-
ed trip over the Western states has
been "good citizenship.” This text
j has been elaborated, illustrated and
dwelt upon daily, everywhere, from
.the Mississippi to the Pacific coast.
We do not know, but we think that
President Roosevelt from his former
| frontier life, learned that the men and
women of the West appreciate more
fully whet good citizenship mean
then does the average Eaetem commu-
nity. That ie, the Weetern etandard
of good citizenship is higher, lees sor-
did, contains lee* of the imported ele-
ments which have come of semi-slave
conditions, than the more densely set-
tled, older and more grasping commu-
nities of the East. Then- is a patriot-
ism. for instance, in the all around en-
terprise of the West that is wholly
wanting in the East. Of course there
is a degree of municipal pride found in
the cities of the East, but there is more
of greed and of selfishness. The presi-
dent is wise and right in his continual
advocacy of good citizenship. The best
guarranty for the stability of the re-
public is good citizenship. All around
good citizenship would relegate the
penitentiary, repeal penal laws, elimi-
nate the poor house, lock up the court
house, relieve the jailor of bis vocation
leaving man in the enjoyment of the
civilization of the altruist
OUR TRADE.
Between United States and Other
Countries Increasing.
The alarms which have been sounded
during the past two years regarding
the trade relations between the United
States and certain other countries of
the world find no justification in the
figures of our commerce up to this
time. The three countries which have
been mentioned from time to time es
like'y to decrease their importations
from the United States are Russia.
Austria-Hungry and Germany.
A study of the latest figures of the
treasury bureau of statistics regarding
our imports and exports shows a
steady growth in the trade relations
with all these countries, and indicates
that our commerce with each of them
is likely to be larger in tbe present
fiscal year than in any previous year
in the history of our commerce. This
is true both of the imports and exports.
To each of these countries our exports
are steadily and rapidly increasing, and
from each of them our imports are
steadily and rapidly increasing.
This is especially marked in the fig-
ures of our trade relations with Russia
in the present fiscal year. The latest
figures of the bureau of statistics are
for tbe nine monthsending with March*
They show that our exports to Russia
in that period were nearly double those
of the corresponding period in any
year of the last decade, and that our
imports are also rapidly increasing,
being double those of 1899 and three
times those of 1894. Our principal
imports from Russia are hides and
skin« and wool, licorice root, and fibers;
and for all of tbe there is a constantly
increasing demand among manufac-
turers. Our principal exports to Rus-
sia are cotton, of which the United
States produces three fourts of the
world’s supply; copper, of which we
produce one-half of the world’s supply ;
agricultural implements, and machin-
ery.
The temporary bridge of the Santa
Fe across the Cimarron river between
Cushing and Quay was swept about
three feet from plumb by tbe heavy
current of water and the large amount
of drift wood which has accumulated
during the high water. A large gang
of men including Allen’s crew has been
'busily engaged in trying to save the
ruins. The loeal will make no more
trips to Quay until the permanent
bridge is completed which will be
within a few daya.
While at Guthrie last week, says the
Enid Events, Secretary Hitchcock
placed hia official aeal upon Oklahoma’s
Sanitarium, declaring it to ba well
conducted, endorsing its management
and complimenting Gevernor Ferguson
upon his stand in the matter. The en-
dersement of Seoretary Iiitcbcosk will
place a quietus on sanitarium agitation
for the present. The foots are, and
Secretary Hitohecok recognised them,
that the Oklahoma Sanitarium is
among the best conducted insane asy-
lums in the United States.
The register of the Kingfisher lend
office seys that Day county lands arc
being taken very rapidly by new com-
ers, Many of the homesteaders are
commuting and paying tl.60 an acre.
The register says of Roger Mills coun-
ty that many persons from Texas who
took lands are selling out to northern
people and going back to Texas.
The Indian Territory has 2,841 miles
of railroads built and under construct-
ion. Fully 2,000 are in operation and
more than 2,000 miles are projected.

Nervous Prostration-
Faint Spells.
Dp. Miles* Nervine Saved
My Life.
There is great a anger in a run down con-
dition. Overwork, mental strain, the cares
and w jrr.es of business and the home, all
have a deleterious effect upon the nerves,
which in their devitalized condition readily
fall prey to the attacks of disease. Aside
from the danger there is no condition at-
tended by so many disagreeable symptoms;
such as loss of appetite, indigestion or nerv-
ous dyspepsia, headache, Ored feeling and
loss of ambition together with the agony of
sleepless nights spent in tossing restlessly
about, only to rise exhausted in the morning.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine is a true nerve tonic
which, by strengthening the nerves, restores
health and appetite ana brings sweet sleep.
“For six years I suffered almost constantly
from a complication of troubles whichtculmi-
nated in complete nervous prostrav.on. I
had no appetite, I could not sleep, I suffered
from indigestion and nervousness. As is so
often the case in nervous prostration I fre-
quently had wiak, fainting spells. Doctors
aid not help me. They said my blood was
very poor, and I know my face was always
very pale. The vei^' first bottle of Dr. Miles'
Nervine I took gave me noticeable relief and
I felt stronger than I had in years. My
neighbors in Puyallup, Wash., where I then
lived will testify to this. *'I also used some of
Dr. Miles’ Restorative Tonic and Anti-Pain
Pills. I believe the Dr. Miles Remedies
saved ray life."—Mrs. J. C. Benedict, Tuck-
er, Utah.
