The witnesses from Lexington last
Thursday in the case of Territory vs
J. B. Peters raised a vigorous kick
because they could secure no witness
fees. For two terms this district has
been represented in the upper house
of the territorial legislature by a
democrat who owed his election to and
the heavy vote secured in Lexington
we fail to see why Lexingtonians
should kick because witnesses are not
allowed fees in criminal cases, par-
ticularly when no effort was ever
made by their member of the terri-
torial council to have fees allowed to
witnesses in such cases. We rather
think the present member of the
council will have a provision in the
laws of this territory allowing
neSses in criminal cases some
pensation.
tory County Attorney Wolf decided
to dismiss the action. It was a case
that was brought under the former
prosecuting attorney. It was Judge
Wolt's first case as prosecuting attor-
ney and he disliked yery much to have
it go as it did; but he deemed it best
as he felt confident he could not se-
cure a conviction and to prolong it
would only result in piling up costs
on the county. .

A Wonderful Growth Announcement.
January 1, 1901.
Dear Sir: The business of this of-
fice, although established in 1893 with
an apparent insignificant beginning,
has so steadily increased that in 1891)
it had already reached what was
supposed to be the maximum for an
agency of its kind in a newly settled
country.
At that time three good men had
more than they could do in conduct-
ing the business, and it was seen that
a greater force, more commodious
quarters, and a cential location was
absolutely necessary.
With this in view, I erected the
Fidelity Building- on Central Main
Street, the lower floor to be used as
an office to accommodate the busi-
ness, which was uiuved into its new
quarters as quickly as possible, to re-
main permenantly in a house of ifo
[ own.
The business, however, has grown

Wails and Phelps Contest Case.
Last Wednesday the attorneys in
the Wails and Phelps contest case
for a seat in the legislature from the
10th district, commenced to take tes-
timony before Judge Botsford and
the same was
day night. A large number of wit-
nesses have been summoned by both
sides.
What the outcome of the case will
be we cannot state; but really we
think much of the evidence taken not
material and a waste of time in tak-
ing it down. By no stretch of imagi-
nation can Mr. Phelps establish his
residence in this territory prior to
Nov. 11, 1800 and this fact was gener-
ally known to the voters in the 10th
district prior to election held on Nov.
0, 1900, having been discussed prior
to that time by every newspaper
published in the district. As this
seems to be the principal grounds of
the contest we fail to see why contes-
tants could not have agreed and sub-
mitted these facts to legislature and
let that body pass upon them, with-
out I out the necessity of the taking of
wit- I long drawn out depositions to estab-
co m. i lish facts that might have been agreed
| upon by contestants.

FOR
with the development of the country
until at the present time it demands
the undivided attention of eight men,
and after considering the matter
and studying it over during the past
year, I deemed it to be of the great-
est advantage to have financially in-
terested those who of necessity must
be closely associated with me in the
management of the business: its
very nature making it necessary foi
me to be absent from the office ;i
considerable portion of the time.
Therefore, from January 1, 1001 a
partnership will be formed, composed
of Andrew Kingkade, Aaron M
Daniel, Henrv P. Doughty ami
George W. Carson, and the new linn
will be known as "The Andrew Kin
kade Company" In this portion of
Oklahoma, these associates of mine
need no introduction, but for the
benefit of those more distant I will
say that they are gentlemen of
financial as well as high moral stand-
ing; temperate and religious, they
have been tried in the the past and
have not been found wanting.

whom are well and favorably known

From the old patrons of the office 1
solicit a continuance of the business
with which you have favored me in
the past, assuring von that the office
will serve you better than before,

you will give us a trial, knowing that

Gov. Barnes read his own message
to both houses of the legislature last

As usual the message of Gov. Barnes

should be made in existing laws and
some new legislation needed.
