OKLAHOMA CITIES.
The Oensus of Enid and Other
Towns.
Washington, Dec. 12. —The popu-
lation ol certain incorporated places
in Oklahoma having more than 2,000
inhabitants is as follows!
Blackwell, 2,282, El Reno, 3,383;
Enid, 3,444; Guthrie, 9,981: Kingfisher,
2,301; Norman, 2,225; Oklahoma City,
9,976; Perry, 3,351; Ponca, 2,528;
Shawnee, 3,462; Stillwater, ",431.
The above report makes Enid the
fourth city in the territory; Shawnee
heats our town just eighteen people,
however, our population has increased
so fast here lately that we are prob-
ably a few ahead of Shawnee now.
THE STORY OF OKLAHOMA.
It is an absorbing tale which is told
by Gov. Barnes in his annual report
upon the condition of Oklahoma. As
we know from the census returns,
Oklahoma has a population of 398,000.
Tile gove'nor tells us that the assess-
ed valuation of her property in 1900
Is, in round figures, $49,000,000, an in-
crease of 16,000,000 over 1899, and
within her limits there are still al-
most 6,000,000 acres of public lands
subject to entry. The #49,000,000 of
taxable valuation represents #135,-
000,000 of actual value of property.
The products of her farms, mines and
factories In the fiscal year aggrega-
ted #75,000,000. She has 100,000 child-
ren enrolled in her public schools,
with 2,000 in the higher educational
institutions.
'Jere are a few of the material
facAsofthe condition of Oklahoma.
They furnish a powerful argument
for her immediate admission to state-
hood. These are some of the superfi.
cia1 facts in connection with a local-
ity which was not opened to settle-
ment until 1889 and which was not
organized into a territory until 1890.
Until eleven years ago Oklahoma was
virtually a vacant spot on the map.
Eager pioneers had been peering into
Oklahoma for years before 1889, and
some of them—Payne, Conch and
many others crossed its boundaries
and established settlements in it, but
they were ousted by the United States
troops, and it was made practically
vacant land, as before. A minute
before noon of April 22, 1889, the in-
stant of the opening there was not a
single inhabitant in Oklahoma. It
contained 50,000 inhabitants by sun
down on that day. Such a deluge
had never been seen before since the
world began.
One of the most remarkable fea-
tures of Oklahoma's growth are its
symmetry and solidity. At 2 o'clock
on the afternoon of that opening day
a bank with $50,000 capital was es-
tablished in a tent in Guthrie, a town
which began to peep out of the
prairies a few minutes earlier. On
hundreds of thousands of acres wheat
began to be sown that afternoon.
Scores of towns were staked out be-
fore sunset. Schools and churches
began to make their appearance the
next day. Just a month after the
opening day a convention met at
Guthrie with the intention of form-
ing a provisional government. Twelve
months after the opening President
Harrison put his signature to the bill
creating the territory of Oklahoma.
The territory which had 61,000 inhab-
itants in 1890 has 398,000 in 1900—or,
rather, had that mauy on June 1 this
year. The population has passed the
400,000 mark by this time. Nothing
in Arabia's tales of enchantment
surpasses the peopling of the prairies
and forests of Oklahoma.—Globe-
Democrat.
SINGLE STATEHOOD.
Attendance at the South McAlester
Convention Quite Slim.
The South McAlester statehood
convention was pulled off Monday.
Out ot an apportionment of 600 dele-
gates only about 250 attended. Out-
side of Kingfiher and Canadian coun-
ties there were no delegates present
from the central or western part of
the territory. Judge Bradford was
made chairman of the convention.
Warren Gill, of Perry, and N. G.
Johnson, of Pawnee, were made sec-
retaries.
The convention was very much di-
vided on the statehood question,
hence, no particular plan of opera-
tion was adopted. The following
gentlemen were appointed members
of the permanent statehood commit-
tee to act in conjunction with a like
committee from the Indian territory:
P. H. Greer, Guthrie; J. B. A. Rob-
inson, H. B. Gilstrap, P. S. Nagle,
Kingfisher; Bert Maxwell, Yukon; R.
E. Wood, Shawnee: A. L. Welch, Ok-
lahoma City, N. F. Johnson, Pawnee;
W. P. Gil), Perry; J. L. Isenberg,
Enid; Robert Ray, Woodward.
The resolutions adopted as reported
by R. B. Forrest, of El Reno, chair-
man, recite the condition of wealth
and population in the territories;
urge the necessity for the future of
the people that the creation of a
state government for the two terri.
tories be simultaneous; urge the pass-
age of an act by the present session
of congress, uniting the two territor-
ies, and while this union is requested
to be in the form of a state, there is
a tacit consent that the one govern-
ment be a territorial form if state-
hood is now impossible; a single court
of appeals for the two territories
distinct from the present trial judge,
is pleaded for; request that some
means be provided by congress with-
out infringing upon the rights of the
Indians for the reservation of lands
for school and public purposes to
equal the similar setting apart of
lands in Oklahoma, and closes with
an impassioned appeal for single
statehood now.
Many rousing single statehood
speeches were made and others op
posing single statehood. South Mc-
Alester made no pretentions in the
way of entertaining the members of
the convention. After disposing
some minor details, the convention
adjourned.

and effected a permanent cure."

with local applications as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Ca-

disease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally and
acts directly on the blood and mucu-
ous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
not a quack medicine. It was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians

directly on the mucuous surfaces.

A SURE CURE FOR CROUP.
' Twenty.five Years' Constant Use

The first indication oi croup is
horseness, and in a child subject to

•ack. Following this horseness is a
peculiar rough cough. If Chamber-
lain's Cough Remedy is given as soon
as the cnild becomes hoarse, or even
after the croupy cough appears, it
J will prevent the attack. It is used
in many thousands of homes in this
' broad land and never disappoints the
| anxious mothers. We have yet to
j learn ot a single instance in which it
j has not proved effectual. No other
I preparation can show such a record—
twenty, five years' constant use with-
out a failure. For sale by Watrous

Miss Alta Rockefeller, whose papa
has so many millions of dollars that
it would take him all night to count
them a million at a time, is going to
get married in the near future to
Mr. E. Parmalee Prentice, a Chicago
lawyer. She is in Paris rigging her-
self out in a wedding trousseau that
will cost $500,COO. However, it is a
question whether she will look any
sweeter in her costly gowns than a
Cherokee Strip girl does in a calico
wrapper. Miss Rockefeller is worth
$50,000,000, but her intended husband
has nothing but a small law library
and a bird dog.
It is now quite evident that the
only way single statehood can be
brought about is the plan suggested
by this paper live years ago. The
act of congress admitting Oklahoma
to statehood should include the In-
dian territory within its boundary
lines to become a part of the state
from time to time as the necessary
terms can be made with the five
tribes of Indians. The state to have
no jurisdiction over the lands of the
five civilized tribes until said lands
are opened for settlement.
