BEFORE AND AFTER.
Chairman Tom Ferguson, of the
territorial Republican central com-
mittee says: "There is but one poli-
cy for the Republicans in Oklahoma
to pursue, and that is to close up
ranks and march on strictly along i. whnt thn mom-H shows
party lines. This territory is Repub- “oweyei, what the lecoid snow*
oliphant in print again.
Editor Sentinel:
Now that the strife of an excit-
ing political campaign is past and.
I trust that reason and truth again
assert themselves, I desire to call
your attention to the statement
made in your paper during the
campaign, in which you said “the
records ef the district court show
an indictment against me and Mar-
shal Shockey for removal from of-
fice for collecting 8820 from ne-
farious subjects and only 845
turned into the city.” The
cl) irges for all the months, less
the cost, which the city has no in-
terest in, was only 855, and the
indictment shows 8110 paid to the
treasurer instead of 845 as you
stated. The record shows youi
statement of $620 collected to be
not true in the sum of $565.
You no doubt secured the in-
formation from Mr. Shrader, who
made alike false statements to the
public. You should of known,

A few of the Good Things We are Showing.
iiean. A strict adherauce to party
principles a lid party policy should be
the guiding star of Oklahoma Repub-
licanism. The idea that a party
tight in Oklahoma will not win is u
myth. Any other kind of a fight
will prove a losing one. A vigorous,
uncompromising party lineup will
make Oklahoma a safe Republican
state."—K. C. Journal.
Wonder what the Democrats,
who voted for Flynn, think of
the above advice. Had they
heeded the advice of their party
instead of the sophistry of the Re
publicans, before the election, a
Democrat would have been elected
instead of a Republican. “A
strict adherence to party princi-
ples” is good and hereafter all
Jemociats should stick strictly to
the '‘adherence” part of the con-
uract. Of course, the Republi-
cans are now crowing over a vic-
tory won by Democratic votes,
and no one knows this better than
the chairman of the Republican
territorial committee, but hereaf-
ter it will be different.

A COAL FIND.
About one year ago George
Mistier and R. S. Hammond, of
Enid, commenced prospecting for
coal and put down a six inch hole
six miles south of Billings. At a
depth of 123 feet they found
strong symtoms of coal, and at a
depth of 176 feet struck a three
foot vein of pure coal. But they
didn’t stop and are now down 230
feet with very favorable pros-
pects. These gentlemen were in
Peny last week for the purpose
of forming a stock company and
sink a shaft. We had a talk with
the gentlemen and they seemed to
be very sanguine in their success.
The matter is worth investigating
by our commercial club, and if
found as reported the shaft
should go down as it would mean
much for Perry.
STATEHOOD CONVFNTION.
A mass convention of single
statehood advocates in Noble
county is hereby called to meet at
the probate court room in Perry
on Monday. December 3rd at 2
p. in. for the purpose electing
eleven delegates and eleven alter
nates to attend the territorial
convention called to meet at South
McAlester on December 10, 1900.
The convention is strictly non
partisan and every believer in
single statehood for the two tewi-
toriesis hereby, cordially invited
to participate.
The farmers, especially those
who tire proving up on their
claims, are the best advertising
patrons some of the newspapers
have on their list. Of course it is
“prosperity” for the land office
sheet but h—I on the fanner.
before saying so in your paper
The record further shows the
district court, upon a hearing,
dismissed the case because the
facts did not show any offense had
.been committed. The then coun-
ty attorney, Mr. Bowles, dune all
in his power to make the charges
stick and remove us from office,
notwithstanding we had collected
more money from the same
sources for the city in one month
than he did in the entire two years
as shown by the record, while he
was city attorney under the same
law.
The mayor, city council, a ma-
jority of whom were Democrats,
authorized and directed us in what
was done in those matters and. af-
ter a full investigation did not find
where one dollar was collected and
not turned over to the city.
The grand jury that found this
indictment to remove me from of-
fice done so’ without one word of
testimony against me. Each of
the four witnesses, the keepers of
these houses, were before the jury
and testified they paid either Mar-
shal Shockey or the Police Judge
their tines of 88 per month, not
one dollar was paid me and they
so testified and will so testify to-
day. How the jury found such
an indictment they do not now
know or understand, Mr. Bowles
may be able to say. Every dollar
that the testimony showed collect-
ed was paid into the city treasur-
er and the record so shows.
Now this same grand jury was
sworn to indict all persons guilty
of crime. These women testified
before them that they were con-
ducting such houses and they let
them go in peace without even
saying “sin *o more.” They
should have been instructed by
the county attorney not to violate
their oath. I can now understand
why I was informed on several
different days “an indictment
would be found if something was
not done.” I had done nothing
and I could not commit a crime to
prevent the indictment being
found. 1 am better informed now
about this matter than I was at
that time.
Anyone who will establish that
1 received a single dollar directly
or indirectly I will pay $100 *to
the city for each $1 unlawfully
kept. Let the proof come for-
ward now. I am fully prepared
to meet it. Those who make the
accusation must prove the same or
abide the consequence.
The election is past but this
matter must be settled fair and
right doing justice to all concern-
ed. No one can want more or
grant less.

There is no pleasure in life if you
dread going to the table to eat and
can’t rest at night on account of in-
digestion. Henry Williams, of Boon-

for years, till he commenced the use
of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, and adds:
“Now 1 can eat anything 1 like and
all I want and sleep soundly every
night.” Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will
digest what you eat.
