Take Your Choice,
In order to show the public the
difference between the nominating
conventions of the political parties in
the county we will give a few facts
given out by the city police force.
One week ago last Saturday the
Democrats held their primary and
during the day there were fifteen
drunk voters (we presume democrats)
locked up in the city jail and on that
day $100 was paid to the city for
fines. The poor fellow that sold his
ballot on that day for a good drink
got the worst of it.
At the Republican and Populist
conventions here last Friday no
lock ups were made and no fines as-
sessed. Which party would you com-
mend to your friend? When you go
to vote next November kindly bear
these facts in mind and obey your
conscience.

A Coffin Found in the Street.
Last week in Oklahoma City some
j workmen in excavating for a side
j walk on seventh street struck the
> headboard of a grave and following
: this down they came upon a coffin and
by further excavation were able to
bring it out of the earth. Removing
the lid of the coffin they discovered
I the remains of a man who, at the
| time of the burial was perhaps 40 to
J 45 years of age.
| The flesh had disappeared from the
I bones and some of the clothing re-
| tnained, among which was a collar
and cuffs of celluloid. In the coffin be-
j sides the remains was a heavily
loaded cain, but their were no signs
of violence evident on the skull or of
any portion of the skeleton.
The coffin was in an advanced stage
of decay and those who saw it believ-
ed the burial occurred before the open
ing of Oklahoma to settlement.
PEOPLES PARTY COUNTY CONVEN-
TION.
Thursday afternoon the delegates
to the Peoples Party County Conven-
tion began to arrive in Norman and
on Friday morning at 10 o'clock when
the convention was called to order by
County Chairman A. V. Hulse and
and the call read by Secretary J. M.
Corn nearly every delegate was in
his seat and the old time Peoples
Party enthusiasm seemed to fill every
corner in the Opera House. A large
number of Populists occupied other
seats in the Opera House, having
come to watch the convention and to
cheer the delegates.
There were 104delegates in the con-
vention. A temporary organization
was effected by electing Hon. It. J,
Nisbett temporary chairman and
John S. Allan temporary secretary.
A committee of one from each dele-
gation was appointed on credentials,
and a committee of 5 was appointed
by the Chairman on Rules, Order of
Business and Permanent Organiza-
tion and also a committee of 5 on
Resolutions. A recess until 1 o'clock
p. m., was taken to give the commit-
tees time to make out their reports.
Immediately on taking recess the
members of the new county central
committee were called to meet and
effect an organization of the commit-
tee. R. J. Nisbett was chosen as the
new county chairman and J. E. Hurry
as secretary. Promptly at 1 o'clock
the convention was called to order
and the report of the committee on
credentials received read and adopt-
ed. The committee on Rules, Order
of business and permanent organiza-
tion reported as follows:
1st. We recommend that the tem-
porary organization be made per-
manent.
2nd. We recommend that the
members present from each township
cast the full vote of their townships.
3rd. .We recommend that the
nominations be made in the following
order:
Sheriff, Treasurer, Recorder, As-
sessor, Surveyor, Commissioners in
1st and 3rd districts.
Clerk, County Attorney, Probate
Judge School Superintendent, Coron-
er, Weigher, Commissioner in 2nd
district.
We recommend that Roberts Rules
of Order govern the deliberations of
this convention. E. Duffy,
M. J. STOW, Chairman.
Secretary.
The report of the committee was
adopted. The committee on resolu-
tions reported as follows:
OT.ATFOUM.
We reatlinn our adherence to the principles
set forth In tlie Ouiatiu, St Louis ami Cincin-
nati! platforms of the Peoples Party anil also
Territorial Platform adopted at Oklahoma
City In 11100, aud tavor the union of all the re-
form forces us sought to be accomplished by
the Louisville Couleience of reformers and
known as the Allied Peoples Party movement.
In the new stale ol Oklahoma we deem It ot
lli-st importance that Its constitution should
contain a provision grunlliig to tlie peojile tlu
right to Initiate laws, to approve laws alter
they are made before they become operative,
should they by a proper petition so demand,
and to recall unfaithful officials and to tills end
we believe that all reformers In Oklahoma
should join bauds and make sure of the elec-
tion of men chosen to the constitutional con
ventlon who will not only be favorable; but
will work to have such a provision in the
state constitution.
In county affairs we believe the same to lie
conducted in an extravagant and bunglesome
manner by the present democratic officials,
else with mi county Improvements of any con*
sequence being made, we cannot account lor
legitimate expenditure of the increased
amount of money raised each year to conduct
the running affairs of the county.
We are ilrmly of the opinion that u great
savihg to the tax payers, can be made In every
department of the affairs of the county and if
| the tax payers of the county entrust us with
the county uff'alrs lor the next two years we
pledge to them our very best efforts not only
to reduce the burdens ot taxation, but to ren-
der to the county better service for money
expended than it has secured In the past.
Hespectfully submitted,

Osteopathy.
Osteopathy views the human body
as an animated machine, and reasons
that if its parts are in proper adjust-
ment, hygienically cared for and not
overworked, harmony or health will
result. If there is any maladjust-
ment anywhere in the body, the cir-
culation of the blood and nerve force
is interfered with, and disease is the
result* Mechanical adjustment,
stimulation and inhibition are the
keynotes of the treatment. It de-
pends upoli the principles of anatomy
and physiology for results, all of *the
natural recuperative forces of the
system being utilized. It is not mas
sage, Swedish movement, Christian
Science nor Faith Cure. Its power is
based upon the knowledge of the
procedures which nature follows. Its
cures are permanent, because they
are natural. NO FAITH, NO DRUGS
NO KNIFE are required. It is al
ready approved by seventeen State
Legislatures, and is rapidly being ac-
cepted by the world as a potent sys-
tem of scientific healing.
Drs. Bailey and Harris have opened
an office in the west wing of the
Arline home and they are very anx-
j ious to get acquainted with the Nor-
j inon people. Miss Katherine Harris
