The Editor of the Shawnee Her-
ald is firmly of the opinion that the
growth of the Democrat Jefferson
club in this Territory will not be
retarded by the objections raised to
it, and we agree with him in so far
as its growth is concerned. It
was still born and must be kept on
ice to even preserve it. That
$ 10.00 admission fee gives it the
appearance of a calf that hadlbeen
knocked in the head with a churn
dasher.
A comparison of the 4th of July
speeches of 1876 and of 1901 is not
only interesting but instructive.
There is a much wider divergence
in the character of the addresses of
the two periods than some would
imagine. A careful perusal of the
addresses delivered by the leading
platform orators in the country will
throw much light on the advance
made by civilization during the
past quarter of a century. The
problems of government up for so-
lution today are quite different than
in 1876.
Empties Blown With Royal Arms Will
Sell Well.
New York, June 26.—The second
day of the auction sale of King
Edward's sherry drew a large at-
tendance, says a World dispatch
from London. Many well known
Americans were present, and they
were among the most active bidders.
Wines from the Buckingham Pal-
ace were sold off. Most of these
were of old varieties from 1869 to
1875. J. Pierpont Morgan bid in
several cases from the bins repre-
senting both St. James and Buck-
ingham Palace cellars, and so did
Chas. T. Yerkes and Foxhall Keene.
Richard Croker's representative
bought 51 dozen of the bottles of
pale golden sherry from St. James'
palace bottled in 1879. These will
be shipped by Mr. Croker as a
present to the Democratic club.
The Tammany leader's agent
also bought liberally from Bucking
ham Palace bins. American theatri-
cal persons bought freely. The
auctioneers received several com
missions to bid in lots for New
Yorkers, including the proprietors
of well known hotels. It has been
suggested that an auction of the
empty bottles would bring good
prices, for they are blown with the
royal arms.
A few of the above bottles of
COAL TKUST NEXT.
Cleveland, July 2.—The Leader
says: Before the first of Septem-
ber all of the big companies pro-
ducing bituminous coal will have
been gathered into one organization
similar to the United States Steel
corporation. The capitalization
wine should be sent to the head-
quarters of the Democratic Jeffer-
son club in this territory. We feel
quite certain the members of that
club would understand how to
properly appreciate the stuff and_
how to tip their glasses and pour it
down to the health of King Edward.
Under the exhilerating influences
of a bottle of such wine we have no
doubt but the Editor of the Shawnee
Herald would be induced to pen
another obituary notice of the Popu
list party giving full details of its
tragic death.
An Ingenious Treatment by which Drunk-
ards are Being Cured Daily in Spite
of Themselves.
¥0 Noxious Doses- No Weakening of the
Nerves- A Pleasant and Positive Cure
for the Liquor Habit.
It is now generally known and under-
stood that Drunkenness is a disease
and not woakuess. A body filled with
poison, and nerves completely shatter-
ed by periodical or constant use of I11-
toxicaling liquors, requires antidote
capable o( neutralizing and eradicating
this poison, and destroying the crav-
ing for intoxicants. Sufferers may now
cure themselves at houae without pub-
licity or loss of lime from business oy
this wonderful "HOME GOLD CUBE"
which has been perfected after many
years of close study and treatment
of inebriates. The faithful use accord-
ing to directions of ihis wonderful dis-
covery is positively guaranteed to cure
the most obstinate ca9e, no matter how
hard a drinker. Our records show the
marvelous transformation of thousands
of drunkards into sober, industrious
and upright men.
WiVESCURE YOUR HUSBANDS!
CHILDREN CURE YOUR FATHERS
This remedy is in 110 sense a nostrum
but is a specific for this disease only,
and is so skillfully devised and prepar-
ed that it is thoroughly soluble and
pleasant to lha taste, so thai it can be
given in a cup of tea or coffee without
the knowledge of the person taking it.
Thousands of drunkards have cured
themselves with this priceless remedy
and as many more have been cured
and made temperate men by having
the "CURE" administered by loving
friends and relatives without their
knowledge in tea or coffee, and believe
today that they discontinue drinking
of their own free will . DO NOT
WAIT. Do not be deluded by appar-
ent and misleading "improvement."
Drive out the disease now and for all
time. The "HOME GOLD CURE" is
at the extremely low price of One
Dollar, thus placing within reach of
everybody a treatment more effectual
than others costing $25 to $50. Full
directions accompany each package.
Special advice by skilled physicians
when requested without extra charge.

For a number of years an attempt
has been made in this territory to
furnish the farmers with a good
live farm paper published in Oklahoma
but such a paper has never proven a
success.
The Farmer Publishing Co, has
purchased up nearly all of the farm
papers attempted to be run in the
territory and has consolidated them
and "The Oklahoma Farmer," is the
name of the paper this company will
issue. It is a twenty page paper
published weekly and will be de-
voted to the interest of the Farmers
and stockmen of Oklahoma.
It promises to be one of the best
Farm Journals • published in the
country and a Journal that will be
almost indispensable to the farmers
in oklahoma. We have arranged a
clubbing rate with this Oklahoma
Farm Journal. To all new subscribers
paying us $1.00 we will send the
Peoples Voice and the Oklahoma
Farmer for one year and to old sub-
scribers paying us one year in ad-
vance we will also send them the
