Tne electorial vote of the country
was counted and declared on the ! Foutli
10th. The returns show that Mo
Kinley received 271 votes and
Br}-an 17(! votes. The vote for
vice president was as follows; Ho

It is now estimated by the gov
eminent surveyors in the Indian
Territory that the survey of the
lands of the five tribes will he com-
pleted this year, including the re-
survey of the Chickasaw Nation,
an appropriation for which was in-
cluded in the Indian appropriation
bill.
Great heavens, what next? We
have heard of the man who would
not be satisfied with the earth with
a tV-nce around it, unless he had
the moon for a potato patch. Olli
cial announcement was made last
Monday by Governor Bushnell of
Ohio that when Senator John Sher-
man steps out of his senatorial
shoes and takes his place among
the chosen ones as Secretary of
.state in the cabinet of the great
Nap Oleon McKinley, then shall
Marcus A. Hanna chairman of the
Republican national committee and
McKinley's most humble and trust-
ed lieutenant don the purple toga
of senatorship in his place. That
the Republican party intends to
inaugurate a reign of tyranny and
oppression, is now a plain, self evi
dent, undisguised fact. We will
not be surprised now to hear of that
man we spoke of who wanted the
moon thrown in having to give a
mortgage on the sai/l moon within
a vear.
and that the terms of the court
shall be heard at the following
places: For the first Judicial Dis-
trict at Guthrie; for the second
District, at Ellteno; for the Third
District, at Oklahoma City; for the
District, at Perry; for the
A majority of the newspapers of
Oklahoma, as well as many we re-
ceive from the states, now treat (?)
their readers to wordy discussions
of the question of county printing.
It we ever do have a legislature in
this country we hope there will be
brains enough in it to enact a sen
siole law on this subject. A price
should be put upon the work to be
done for the county and that price
should be fair and just, both to the
county and to the printer. The
county commissioners should have
power to select some one paper as
an official organ and that paper
should do all the county work, the
amount of work to be fullv speci-
fied, so that there might be no scan-
dalous rooberies of county funds
through connivance, such as so fre-
quently occur. This paper should
have been continuously published
for at leaast one year before it can
be selected as such organ. A law
along these lines would prevent
these disgraceful squabbles and
make the county printing a matter
of business in each and every coun-
ty, not, as is now the case, a matter
ol private pilfering through politi-
cal favoritism in one county and
in the next county a point upon
which county commissioners, for
vote winning purposes, may make
a "grand stand play" as economists,
uaing the oat-throat competition al-^
ways entered into between fool prin-
ters as a club to beat down the pri-
ces on this particular item to a
starvation point, so they present
the figures to their constituents
and exultantly cry, "Behold how
we have labored to save your mo-
ney."—Purcell Register.

Spring Fashions.
As usual, that handsome journal
"Toilettes," is first in the field with
early Spring fashions. The March
number, (which is sold by all news-
dealers at25cts.) should be in every
home. It gives useful and elegant
designs for young and old, and so
many to select from. This number
contains by actual count 213 en-
gravings; "Toilettes" is without
single exception, the best and
cheapest magazine in America, and
when we know that the designs are
drawn from original models by the
best houses in Paris, and not cheap
reproductions from other fashion
books, we are astonish'd at the low
price asked. Its beautiful colored
lithographed plates are dainty and
refined looking; in fact, there is a
chic about this fashion book that
cannot be imitated. It is published
in New York, at West 23rd Street, by
the Toilettes Puplishixg Co.
