EXCELL WILL BE AT HOBART.
Famous Singer at Sunday School Con-
vention.
Prof. E O. Excell, of Chicago, has
been secured to lead the singing and
famish solos at the State Sunday School
Convention at Hobart, May 29 to 81
The singer at first engaged moved
away from Oklahoma, and the commit*
tee in filling his place secured the great*
est leader in Chicago.
A great chorus is drilling which he
will take charge of when he comes.
Those permitted to be present will
hear and take part in such singing as
most of them never heard before.
Delegates must send in bv mail an
official credential, secured from the
county secretary or from William Rog’
ers, Medford, Okla.
Reduced rates on all railroads. , See
yonr agent about it to be sure.
Repair the Roads.
The project is good for a bountiful
harvest and the business men of Okeene
should see that the roads leading into
tbe city were put in firstclass shape.
Let the grader be pnt on the first two
miles west of onr township district and
make a good 24 foot roadway and
Okeene will recieve thousands of bush-
els of grain that would otherwise go to
other stations without this piece of
good road.

Ames Lacals.
Wheat and corn are being marketed
in large quantities.
All kinds of crops looking firstclass.
Tbe merchants are all busy and busi-
ness is holding up remarkably well.
No long faces in Ames, everyone in
good spirits and smiling.
Dr. McEvoy and his auto had a dis-
agreement and the Doctor sent to Ok-
lohoma City for an expert adjuster who
succeeded in bringing about a reconcili-
ation and the two are again doing busi-
ness.
We have no saloons here and do not
intend to have any. Don’t need them
and onr business prospers better with
their absence.
Commercial travelors say Ames is
one of the best points on the road and
sells more goods than any other of its
size.
Dr. L. Mathis, has just completed a
fine residence in the north part of town.
We are reo-ganizing a band and ex-
pect to have a ball team.
Ames has bnilt two good churches,
three brick buildings within two years.
Has three elevators running. It is
rather a stand off as to whether wheat
or corn is the principal crop in this
section.
We have two rural routes.
Died.
Williard Miller, mail carrier route
No. 2 passed away at 4 o’elock, Thurs-
day morning, May 24. He had been
in poor health for two months or more,
occasioned by an attack ofv Grippe.
The immediate canse of his death, was
apoplexy. The sorrow of the family is
made doubly hard by tbe sickness of
the Mrs. Miller, a child being born to
them a few minutes after the death of
the husband.
Mr. Miller was 24 years old and has
always been highly spoken of and re-
garded as an excellent young man. He
was born m Indiana and moved to Par-
vin in the year 1900, His parents are
Jacob D. and Elizabeth Miller, brothers
Walter and Leonard and sister Mary
M. Miller, residing at Parvin.
Condolence.
To the bereaved, mourning the death
of Willard A. Miller, be it known that
in this Providence, the government has
lost an honest faithful servant. The
patrons of Rural Route No. 2, a court-
eous gentlemanly carrier, one obedient
to bis superiors in authority, making
and merit ing no complaint whatever,
kind and gentle in his manner, liked by
all who knew him. We shall miss his
manly presence, vain are words to ex-
press sympathy bat you surely have it
of the office and carrier force, as well
as that of the entire community, I
commend yon to onr Heavenly Father
who is able to bring together onr loved
ones beyond the dark river of death.

miles northeast of Okeene had the mis-
fortune of having her house struck by
lightning last Thursday night. It sst

the flames were promptly extinguished.
The chimney was kpOcked down and
the ceiling and floor were consid-
erably damged. Mrs. Martin was par-
tially stunned._

Civic Federation-
Resolutions adopted by the Blaine
County Civic Federation, in county
convention assembled, at Watonga,
Oklahoma, May 9th, 1906.
The Blaine County Civic Federation,
in county convention assembled, de-
clares its devotion to the sacred and
eternal principles of civic virtne, which
principles are the cement end support
of the American home and republic.
The application of those principles
11 the issues of the day constitutes tbe
first step toward good citizenship,
clean government and honesty in pub-
lic service. Civic righteousness, tbe
prosecuting of all violators of the law,
the suppression of lawlessness, immarli-
ty and vice, the improvement of the
public service, the encouragement of
officials who do their whole fluty, and
the awakening of the public conscience
—these are the objects of the federation.
We favor and strenuously urge the
prosecution of all violators of the law,
both great and small, without fear or
favor. We especially urge the prosecu-
tion of that class of criminals kno wn as
the tin horn gamblers and we pledge
our support to every effort made in be-
half of law enforcement.
We recognize that a large per cent
of the crime and lawlessness of the
county, more especially that engender-
ed in thtf iniquitous dens of the towns
and cities is traceable, directly or in-
directly’to the indifference, if not the
willful corruption, of certain public
officials who have taken an oath to pro-
tect and defend the home and society.
We denounce all those public officials
who have so ingeniously protected cer-
tain places of lawlessness, which, as
shown by the last report of the grand
jury convened in this county tor the
March terns of tbs district oourt, engen-
der more than ninety-pei cent of tbe |
crime and lawlessness of the county, i
We demand that sach officials be pros-
ecuted to the full extent of the law,
and pledge ourselves to pnt forth every
and honorable means to assist in bring
ing to the bar of justice these flagrant
violators of the law.
. ' We favor tbe enforcement of honesty
in the public service of Blaine county,
and to that end tbe investigation of the
offices already known to teem with cor-
ruption. and the punishment of all
officials who violate or trangress their
official oaths.
We favor the nomination and elec-
tion of clean, honest, conscientious
citizens for the respective offices of the
county—men who have no political
debts to pay, no enemies to punish, no
friends to reward—men of manhood
and principle, who have honest convic-
tions and the courage of their convic-
tions. We favor men who consider
a public office a pnblic irurt rather than
a private graft.
We favor and strongly recommend
the organization of local federations in
