THU PROHIBITION QUESTION— IIOW WILL YOU VOTE?
■ U. P. S. Notes.
Tlio Mendelssohn Trio which ap-
peared as substitute for the Pas-
more Trio on the first number of
the lecture course gave a delightful
and reuiarkuply well balanced pro-
gram. Unquestionably the best
perinormor was Miss Mae Doelling,
pianist. Her rendition of some of
the best compositions by the great
old composers was indoed a marvel,
the influence ol which will not soon
be lost on those who heard her.
The ensemble work of the trio was
remarkable for the harmonious
blending of the tones of the various
instruments.
The Trio was accompanied by Mr.
C. Edward Clark—who is a very
entertaining baritone soloist.
The company consisted of Misses
Mae Doelling, pianist; WuRy Hey-
mar, violinist; Louise Smith, cel-
list; and Mr. Clark, baritone.
Tiie second year class has been
doing the social life to a libish.
Less than three weeks ago they
gave a picnic on the Chikuskia riv-
er, and last Saturday night a party
at the home of Miss Alice Wilkins,
south of town. The trip was made
on a hayrack and on account of the
deep sand it was necessary to walk
part of ihe time to keep the horses
from balking. A jolly trip it was,
that is for every one except Earl
Johnson; his good time was some-
what hampered because of the care
of Bis brother Claude.
There was an unlimited amount of
ice-cream and cake on hand.
In order to roach home before the
lights went out, the party was
broken up before any were ready to
leave. The kind hospitality of Mr.
and Mrs. F. J. Wilkins is thoroughly
appreciated on more than one occa-
sion.
Misses Wolfe and Cole wore taken
along as chaperones.
The first issue of the Crimson
Rambler was got out by the Senate
and Sorosis literary societies. It
is a very neat and interesting issue
and speaks well for the interest and
literary ability of these two organi-
zations.
Lieut. Chas M. Maigne, IstLt. of
12th Cavalry, lias been detailed by
the War department as instructor
in military tactics and science.
Mr. Maigne is a young man about
thirty years old and has a wife and
little daughter about four years old.
He is expected to arrive in Tonka-
wa about Oct. 23tli.
The U. I’. S. was victorious in a
game of foot ball with the Arkansas
City Business ColUgo Friday. The
score was 10 3. For some reason
the game was not a very interesting
one. An Indian on the A. C. H. C.
team played the game. Cross and
Lawrence of the local team made
repeated gains.
Pres. Alley gave a very interest-
ing talk in chapel recently. Mis
discussion in the main consisted of
a chronological discourse on the
real estate transfers of 'historical
note. Dealing mainly with the old
home of Robert F. Lee, Arlington
House. Although consisting whol-
ly of facts, the story was told in so
entertaining a stylo that deep in-
terest was at all times manifest by
the listeners.
At the trap sli >ot which was held
in Tonkawa this week, Mr. E. C.
llohon of the U. P. S. faculty made
the highest score, above both ama-
teurs and profossidfaals.
The last meeting of tho Y. W. C.
A. was turned into a social hour.
The dome room was elTectively dec-
orated with rugs, Japanese lanterns,
stools and pillows. There wm no
special program, however, Miss
(•race Klein gave a reading from
Longfellow, and there were severs!

GREATEST SUCCESS IN YEARS
THIRD “SOCIABILITY RUN”
Of the Tonkawa Automobile Club,
Will be Sunday, Oct. 23.
The third Sociability Run of
the Tonkawa Automobile Club is
to take place Sunday, Oct. 23, pro-
viding the weather is not too in-
clement. Wichita, Kas., is the ob-
jective point, but as yet the com-
mittee in charge has not decided
on the route to be taken to and
from that place.

available for work of this character
at any price, I)r. Cadman would be
one of my early choices.
At the Allspaugh Home.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Allspaugh
and Dr.and Mrs. W. E. Becker
entertained about forty of their
friends last Thursday evening at
the Allspaugh home, and it proved
to be the big social event of the
season for the married people.
Part of the enjoyment was gained

At the Muskogee Fair, Last Week.
The exhibition of single drivers,
best driving team and the best
saddle horses was one of the big
features of the morning. A splen-
did array of horses was shown on
the track, scoring before the
judges' stand. There were seven
entries for the driving team.
Hon. James Wilkin of Tonkawa,
Okla., took first premium. While
competition was keen, it was a
foregone conclusion that the
judges woulc pin the blue ribbon
on this team. The prtze winners
fillies are sired bv the famous
Symbolier and are standard bred.
This is not the first time they
have pulled down the blue rib-
bon. They took first money at
Wichita and at the Kansas state
fair. They were shipped direct
to Muskoge and entered here.—

They purchased liquor at a number

them in jail at Tecuinseh. They
worked quickly, and being ur
known here, very effectively. They
were not at all slow to show their
guns, and in most of the arrests
marched thair men ahead of them.

Chickasha, Okla., Oct. 17. Reso-
lutions charging the republican
leaders of the state with delinquen-
cy in supporting the negro race
and calling upon the negroes of the
state to support tho entire socialist
ticket were adopted by a convention
of negroes which assembled here to-
day. The resolutions favored
woman’s suffrage, and ask congress
to reduce the representation of Ok-
lahoma in congress in proportion to
tho number of negro voters dis-
franchised by the adoption of the
"Grandfather” clause.
Will Make Candy Here.
Messrs Walker and Willard of
Wichita, Kas., have rented the
brick building just west of the
Tonkawa Cafe and are fitting it
up nicely for a candy kitchen.
They have the experience and
necessary equiptment for turning
out the best of home-made can-
dies and should find Tonkawa a
good place for their business. It
is a deserving enterprise and will
no doubt make good with folks
here.

The county Democratic candi-

or three days, holding at the
different schoolhouses of this
vicinity, and are winning voters
everywhere they go. They are
a bunch of courteous, pleasing

will trust anywhere. We are
proud of our ticket, believing ev-

deliver the goods.
A Correction
Owen Thomas has bought the
Newcomb shares in the First
State Bauk, and not the Dawson
interests as was stated in our last
issue. Our reporter got his in-
formation from an unreliable
source. Instead of going to the
parties most concerned in the
deal he got the facts twisted by
relying upon street gossip, which
by the way, is nearly always in-
correct in a few particulars at
least.
Mr. Thomas is cashier, and Mr.
Dawson remains as the active
president retaining all his hold-
ings in this institution.
