THE ELECTIONS.
An Off Year, but a Very Fair
Vote Was Polled and No
Old Time Panics.
TAMMANY IS DEFEATED.
The elections in many of the
States Last Tuesday passed off qui-
etly and the results are generally
satisfaetory.
New York City was taken out of
Tammany control by from 30,000
to 40,000 majority. Dick Croker
and his gang are turned out to rob
no more.
The Republican States are Mas-
sachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Nebraska, Iowa, Rhode Isl-
and, South Dakota, Connecticut!,
Ohio.
The Democratic States are Ken-
tucky, Mississippi and Virginia.
Maryland is claimed by both par-
ties and will need the official count
to settle it.
Awful Accident.
One of the saddest things in the his-
tory of Blaine county took place on last
Monday at the home of V. S Wells, who
lives some twelve or fourteen miles west
of Watonga. Mr. Wells and another
man were storing feed in a haymow.
One of the rafters broke and Mr. Wells
called his daughter, Grace, out to set a
prop under it to hold it up until the man
could get down and repair it. She at-
tempted to place a prop under the broken
rafter, but while she was standing be-
neath it the broken timbers commenced
falling and the entire load came crash-
ing down from above and Miss Wells
was buried beneath it. When the tim-
bers were removed she was found dead.
A piece of timber had struck her across
the neck, breaking it. Her head was
badly crushed and she was terribly
mangled.
Miss Grace 'Wells was a highly re-
spected young lady. Her untimely
death has cast a gloooin over the entire
neighborhood in which she lived. She
leaves many friends to mourn her death.
The blow to her family is a sad one, and
Is made especially more so by the tragi-
cal manner in which it came.—Waton-
ga Republican.
They See the Point.
Alva can credit the business she does
to their merchants ideas of advertising
says an exchange. All of Alva’s live
merchants advertise liberally telling the
citizens and farmers just what they are
selling and how cheap they sell it,—
hence a good many go there to trade.
Half page adds in the Alva papers are
weekly occurances.
Notice.
The plat for the cemetery is now in
the hands of C. W. Sherwood and those
who subscribed for lots are requested
to come up and choose their lot and pay
for it at once as expense has been incur-
red in platting and this and the price of
the land are long past due. Come on
quick.
More Bridges.
The county commissioners of Gar-
field county have contracted for 28 new
steel bridges to be erected in various
parts of the county. The total cost of
these bridges will be $8,562.—Lahoma
Sun.
Enid papers are fond of referring to
that city as the future capital of the fu-
ture State of Oklahoma. They are also
quite sure the Rock Island is going to
“do something ’for Enid. So far they
are certain of a water tank anyway.—
Lahoma Sun.
HOMESTEADS CAN BE SOLD.
Letters of Vital Importance to
Those Desiring to Sell.
Attorney Morgan received the follow-
ing letter which will tend to relieve all
controversy on the subject of alleged
speculation:
October 17, 1901.
The Commissioner of the General land
Office.
SIR:—With your office letter of the
15th instant was transmitted an appli-
cation by Joseph W. Hoffman to contest
homestead entry No. 3849, made Sep-
tember 18, 1901 at the El Reno Land Of-
fice, Oklahoma; by Wilson M. Ckilcot,
covering the sw qr sec 2 twp 0n rg 14w,
upon the ground that the said Wilson
M. Chilcot made and entered into an
agreement and contract to execute a re-
linquishment of the said homestead for
a valuable consideration and that his
said entry was made for and is now held
for speculation and not for the purpose
of residence and cultivation, as required
by the homestead laws of the United
States.
Your said offiice letter transmitting
said application finds that the charge is
insufficient to warrant an investigation
and, therefore, reccomends that the ap-
plication be rejected. The reccorn-
mendation of your office is approved and
the application to contest will stand re-
jected. This action closes the case.
The papers are returned herewith.
Very respectively
E. A. HITCHCOCK,
Secretary.
PoHluI Regulations.
With the first of October the new pos-
tal regulations as to second-class matter
went into effect. Attention has more
than once been called to the vicious
methods being practiced by the pub-
lishers of trash and sensational litera-
ture, all of which has been allowed to
pass through the mails at the low news-
paper rates, whereas most of it should
have been excluded entirely.
Under the new rules all this yellow
trash and all the cheap advertising pub-
lications and all mail order catalogues
will have to pay a more reasonable rate of
postage, while many of the vile sheets
will be denied admission in the mails.
This is a long delayed reform but it
has started and will gather strength as
it goes until the department will soon be
found on a paying basis, and then will
come the long needed and anxiously
looked for penny postage.—Ex.
Fined for Shipping Quail.
In the court which is in session
at Tecumseh, G. W. Eslick, a Pot-
tawattomie county man, was con-
victed of shipping quail from Okla-
homa to Chicago. The crime is
known as a federal misdemeanor
and was prosecuted by the deputy
game warden of Illinois. The de-
fendant was fined $25 and costs,
which amounted in all to about $200,
which was promptly paid. The
United States Attorney’s office has
information regarding other cases
of this kind which will investi-
gated.
Fourteen noted writers were sent by
the Cosmopolitan Magazine to the Pan-
American Exposition to study the
most interesting features with a view
of preparing the most beautiful souve-
nir of any exposition ever made from
both a literary and artistic standpoint.
Under the direction of the editors of
the Cosmopolitan. 105 photographs
were prepared showing every variety of
architecture and every phase of life,
not neglecting the midway at Paris.
These are engraved and printed in a
style never surpassed even in the Cos-
mopolitan’s high standard of art. At
Chicago thousands of copies of the
World’s Fair number were sold at one
dollar a copy after the edition—the
plates being worn out—began to be ex-
hausted. and a few copies at the price
of five dollars—something that has nev-
er happened with any other periodical
since printing was invented. The Cos-
mopolitan’s Pan-American souvenir is
going to be even finer than that of the
Chicago Fair.
