Appetite Ii Kwxsmrj la Order Te
Digest What We Int
"We notice that some of the most
eminent physicians of thia country and
Kurope who have made a study of tho
process of dig«-*,tion unite in the opin-
ion that a keen appetite is a great aid
to proper digestion. Some even go so
far as to say that there must be a
good sharp appetite for the food cuten
In order that it be properly digested
and assimilated. Dr. J. P. Pawlow'i,
essay on "The Work of the Digestive
Glands," whi h was awarded the Nobel
prize, sets forth very clearly the value
of appetite.
There is no other such safe cure
means for creating a healthy appetite
as Pabst Blue Ribbon lieer taken be-
fore or with your meals, and it is an
almost absolute guarantee of perfect
digestion, while its tonic and food
value cannot be overestimated.
Dr. Joseph Feisler, of the North-
western University of Chicago, in com-
menting upon this said: "I fully be-
lieve that the moderate use of good
beer at meal times acts as a tonic and
Is therefore useful."
I Dr. Feisler stnnds nt the head of his
profession and his words must carry
great weight with those seeking
I health.
Pabst Blue Ribbon is such a beer as
Dr. Feisler recommends. It is a prod-
uct of eight-day malt, choicest hops
and pure water. Pabst eight-day malt
I contains all the valuable food elements
of the barley in predigested form. It
gives Pabst Beer its rich nutrition and
the fine mellow flavor which distin-
I guishes It from other beer. This, to-
gether with sixty years of scientific
brewing, Is v.-hst has put Pabst Beer
I so far in the lead. No food that comeu
from th« eleanest kitchen can be
I rlean«r, purer and more wholesoma
tkan thlo celebrated bear.

SSF MO THE
FELLOW SERVANT IM
Henry Asp is opposed to a practical
fellow servant law. His platform de-
claration, written by himself, shows
it. He declares in favor of "an em-
ployers Liability law" which is a time
fellow servant legislation. A fellow
servant law, in its popular sense, is ap-
plied only to railroad, and other corpo-
rations engaged in the business of trans-
portation. The employers' liability
law, which Mr. Asp insists must be
fair to capital and labor, would include
the farmer, the merchant and the man-
ufacturer, as well as the transportation
company. His real purpose is to defeat
rather than to enact such a law; he
hopes to unite in the aid of the railroads
the combined opposition of employers
of help of every kind and class. This
is an old played out dodge, and will de-
ceive anyone.
The Enid district will send Judge
Charles L. Moore to the constitutional
convention to fight all such Hank Asp
schemes. Judge Moore is radically in
favor of an affective fellow servant or-
ganic law. He Rtands solidly in favor
of a "square deal" for the common
people and organized labor as the reso-
tions in the platform of the convention
that nominated him declare. Asp may
be able to dictate to Major Eastman,
but he would not be able to touch
Judge Moore.

Mayor.

E. R. LEE,
City Clerk,
Yesterday was another unlucky day
for the Rock Island railroad. Two
freight wrecks delayed all traffic and
caused much trouble and dissapoint-
ment to the traveling public.
The first wreck occurred at Corwin,
Kansas, a small station a few miles
north of Caldwell, when five cars went
into the ditch. The other wreck was
two miles north of Kremlin. At this
point seventeen cars were wrecked.
Kremlin is certainly an unlncky place
for the Rock Island railroad. More
wrecks have occurred at or near Krem-
lin than any other point on their sys-
tem.
So far as can be learned no lives
were lost nor no one seriously ■injur-
ed.
All the passenger trains were de-
tourned in order to get around the
wrecks. Number 35 due at Enid at
6:25 was the first t ain affected. It
went from Wichita to Perry and over
to Enid, arriving here at 1 o'clock this
morning. Number 14 due here at 6:25
left Enid at 8 o'clock last night and
went to Perry and on to Wichita.
Number 11 due here at 10:25 rolled in
at 5 o'clock this morning. The Corwin
wreck was, cleared early this
morning and Number 13 came down to
Medford and took the H. & S. railroad
to Blackwell and the Frisco to Enid
much belated. Number 12, due here
at 6:07 this morning passed north at
11:30 going via Blackwell and Medford.
Passengers for North Enid, Kremlin and
Pond Creek were compelled to take
livery rig6 and drive.
FOR THE cm' OF ENID.
Enid is billed for two more manufac-
turing enterprises in the near future.
The most important one is a breadfast
food factory which will employ several
hundred men. Enid is in the center of
the wheat, oats and rye belt of Oklaho-
ma all of which cereals are used
making the best grade of breakfast
food; then comes kaffir corn also used
in making a palatable dyspepsia cure
morning meal food. The raw material
for this ^enterprise is all here. The
"White Mill" is now turning out a first
class grade of oat meal and their orders
for the same isconstainly increasing.
Next comes a denatured alcohol fac-
tory under the new federal law. Thou-
sands of dollars worth of material that
| would make alcohol, go to waste in
Garfield county annually; such as corn
cobs, green oorn stalks, water melon
rhines; fruit that drops ftom the trees,
worthless for food, potatoes that will
not keep over winter; unmarketable
wheat, oats and cora. A.n alcohol fac-
tory company will be organized during
the winter.
Wherever the raw material for any
j manufactured article is found or pro-
| duced in obundance, is the place to es-
tablish a factory. No city in the terri-
' ritory can procure as much raw mater-
ial for the two manufacturies mention-
ed than Enid. The opening is here and
it will be taken advantage of in the
near future.
Great is Enid; great are her people,
Oklahoma City may not always be the
metropolis of the new state.
Miss Mary Young went to Lahoma to
day to visit with her parents over Sun-
day.
John Linden went to Topeka last
night on business connected with the
•trcet cat company.
Real Estate.
c. V. Nye left last night to spend a
ten days vacation with his parents at
Peabody, Kansas.
The Carnival company will arrive in
Enid sometime tomorrow afternoon.
They close a week's engagement at
Columbus, Kansas, tonight.

Al RENFROW, OKLA.
John Smith, 60 Year* of Age,
Had His Brains Beaten
Out.
His Murderers Are Now Confined
Behind The Bans Of The
Pond Creek Jail.
Four Men Arrested, All Have
Confessed Their Guilt
(From the. Medford Star.)
The details of one of the most atro-
cious crimes that has ever been com-
mitted in Grant County, or possibly in
Oklahoma, as near as we can learn,
are as follows:
John Smith a harmless quiet man
about 60 years of age, was employed
by the Rock Island as a section hand on
the railroad, and slept up stairs in the
Renfrow section house.
He was supposed to have a large
amount of money on his person, as he
was very frugal, [never spending any
money except for his bare necessities
and a paltry ten cents for his week-
ly shave. He had no known rela-
tives.
L. B. Koup, a grain dealer, Harry
Brotyn, a section hand, R. M. Mat
hews, a barber, and Guy Reader, who
had been for some time employed in an
elevator. The four men met at the bar-
ber shop in Renfrow after Smith had
been shaved and planned that Brown,
who sleeps in the lower room of the
section house was to leave the door
unlocked and the other three were to
come and break in, Brown was to
shout burglars and run upstairs where
the old man was sleeping. The three
were to rob both Brown andJSmith and
Brown was to tell that three hobos did
it.
Here is where their plans miscarried,
when they were put in a ction. Brown
played his part real well, but the old
man showed fight when he had a revol-
ver thrust into his face, and instead of
throwing up his hands, he struck the
man who held the revolver, which came
unlocked and the cylinder and the
shells fell out and rolled down stairs,
leaving the gun to be used fas a club.
Koup secured a piece of 2x6 scantling
which was too long to use with effect so
he wrenched off a bed slat and pounded
the old man who kept fighting for his
life. The first slat became shattered
and he secured another one, during this
time Brown ran away in his night
clothes and hid until' everything «was
quiet when he went to the agent's
house and procured a suit of clothes
telliug the agent the "Hobo story.
He then went to the home of the sec-
tion foreman, Turner, and repeated
the same story. Brown stayed there
until morning, he [.then went to the
hotel and asked Koup and Mathews,
how much money they got? And they
told him only $4.00 and told him if he
did not stick to his story they would
kill him. Coroner Hardy was sent for
and was accompanied by F. C. Goffrey,
and when they arrived the "Hobo
Story" did not sound good to them, so
they listened to all theories, picking a
clew here and there until they became
satisfied that Brown was lying.
A jury was impaneled, and two of
the men on that jury were Rhodes
Mathews and L. B. Koup, who were
the two principle actors in the bloody
tragedy. Coroner Hardy by this time
had procured a confession from Brown
Sheriff Brattain and deputies were
present with wristlets and fastened
them onto these men. Rader also
made a confession. The result is poor
old John Smith was murdered most
brutally, aud now four prominent citi-
zens of Renfrow are in the county
jail. It is said that Koup, atter the
old man's head was beaten into a pulp,
jumped on the prostrate body and
trampled all over it.
Rader is a m arried man, having
wife and three small children, when he
made his confession, he said: "lam
guilty, I don't want to go to the peni-
tentiary, just take me out and hang
me, I deserve it." He also made a
lengthy statement telling of his wife
and babies, and before he had finished
nearly all the occupants of the room

Sheriff Brattain and deputies took
the four prisoners to Pond Creek and
all of the four have confessed their
guilt. While it is very possible that
they never intended to kill the old
man, thinking he would give up his
money and owing to their nigh stand-
ing in the community would never be
suspicioned. We don't suppose there
is a parallel case in the United States
where two red handed murderers were
arrested while they were serving on
the coroners jury sworn to discover
if possible, who were the guilty par-
ties.

His Angel Changed
A Missouri editor whose wife is a
strong woman suffragist has sprung the
following on his readers:— "Rock-a-bye
baby, your mamma is gone; she'6 at the
rink and will be there till dawn; she
wore pap's trousers and in them looked
queer, so hush-bye-a, baby your papa is
here. Rock-a-bye baby, your mamma's
a terror, she's run three conventions
declared for three fellows; she's great
on the straddle, way up on a vote, so
hush-a-bye, baby, pap's the 'goat'.
Rock-a-bye, baby, the dishes are clean,
papa's done scrubbing and put on the
beans; your mamma is late, seems al-
ways to lag, but heaven help pap if she
comes home with a 'jag.'
The last week of a political campaign
is a fruitful period for campaign canards
Charges of the most vicious cheracter
may be expectei and all voters should
be on their guard against them, and be
not deceived.
The press of the opposition has from
the beginning, spent practically its
entire force in villifying our committee;
thia for two purposes:
First, of drawing our own and your at-
tention away from the issues of the
campaign, and blinding you to its im-
portance.
Second, for the purpose of shaking
the confidence of the people in the in-
tegrity of the committee and thereby
cause the witholding of funds,
They have signally failed in both.
This misrepresentation and abuse has
been ignored. The committee has pur-
sued its work of organization on funds
supplied wholly by personal contribu-
tions of loyal citizens, and not a dollar
of trust money has been received or
spent. None will be. The experiment
of financing a campaign by the com-
mon people has proven a success.
Our labor for a victory of the people
against organized greed is nearly over;
Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Rogers, former
residents of Enid, but now of Medicine _
Lodge,Kansas, are in the city for a few but little remains to be done except the
days visiting friends. ' registering of your vote; from seventy

form its duties; the enemy is defeated,
knows it and is demoralized; the day of
the carpet bagger and grafter is past,
the rule of the people arrived.

eta Willia m Lay, and her £r"-f
is so great since her
father's death that she could
not be contented to remain amid the
scenes in which they have lived for so
many years, hence they decided that a
change would be beneficial.
As swallowers of gnef and stayers
with something there ir, nothing "in it'

Pete take the cake. The contrast be-
tween Pete Drummonds street talk and
the talk in his paper is enough to make
honest people spit blood and a town
cow blush for shame.
Now comes the users of denatured
tlcohol and say that after having fought
hard and long to have the tax on alco-
hol removed to make it available as •
•ubstitute for the products of the
Standard Oil Co., they find that a trust
has purchased all the alcohol interests
in the country. It looks like a leap
from the frying pan into the fire.
