Thk middle-of-the-road populists of
Nob!e county will be represented at the
Oklahoma City convention August 2nd.
Populism seems to be losing caste in
Ked Rock township. At the lecent
primary but nine voters were in atten-
dance.
To-night we offer a years subscription
to any one that can guess Ljn VVhorton

morrow.
Not a single nominee of either of Sat-
urday's conventions has a knife up his
sle# ve, but the disappointed ones are
loaded for b«ar and all other varmints.
Thk democratic opened the doors for
the purpose of taking in members and
when Jack Teetement responded they
wanted some one to help them let loose.
A majority of the opposition com-
bination ticket will be dead easy
for the Republican party to beat.
Some of them are not even satisfied
with themselves.
There is a man in Arkansas Ciiy who
is poisoned by hnndling green corn
Corn is so poisonous to him that he can't
even shuck it. However, corn juice does
not effect turn in that way.
Now is an elegant time for aspirants
for political jobs at the hands of the
coming Republican convention to hand
in their announcements, accompanied
by a tive dollar bill.
Say Free Press, of Guthrie, where are
you on politics? You are alright on the
question you advocate as a principal
but be careful on the political issue as
it's mighty dangerous, Keen off.
It is claimed that the saloon men,
gamblers and ministers were fighting
Howlee and booming Bruce. Both won
and all seem satisfied. The common
people howev r have a kick a coming.
Thk fourth wardai'pt^d the urit
rule. Digge is heart-broken and is en
titled to the sympathy of all the com-
munity in being compelled to vote con-
trary to the dictation of his conscience
The only remarkable incident yester-
day in the democratic primaries was the
fact that brother Cole was not allowed
to vote. One vote of purification is con-
trary to the principles of pure democ-
racy.
The democrats had a hot time Ht the
court houPe today.
At 10o'clock toe convention waacnl'ed
to order by Judge in a neat and
timely speech.
The district court room hart baen dec-
orated with the national colors and the
delegations had no difficulty in "getting
located as ('apt. Strahan had the seat
labeled and had also kindly provided a
table for the press gang which was high
ly appreciated.
U.S. Johnston and J. W. Quick were
the nominees for temporary chairman
and Mr. Quick was chosen, who whs es-
corted to the platform by H. S. John-
ston and Duff Tillery, Mr. Quick in
a few remarks thanked the convention
for the honor conferred.
The first shot was tired. Quick is a
Bowles leader,
Pitts, Whorton and Strahun elected
as temporary secretaries.
Committee on credentials, order of
business and resolutions elected one
member from each ward and township.
The committee being appointed the
convention adjourned to 1 o'clock.
Coloi el Moore as chairman of the res-
olution committee brought a report
pointing with pride to everything on the
calander.
The Bowles faction had everything in
line of order of business and naturally
placed the countv attorney ahead of
the sheriff nomination.

PeteO'Nkil and his whiskers were
prominent features of the democratic
convention Saturday. He may not be
the handsomest man in (ilen R b« town
whip but he handled his delegation like
a Ttojan and won out in both c^mlin
ations.
The populest h«ve proved untrue to
toeir doctrine again. They have n< m

AFTERMATH-
Toe last of the convention did not ad
journ until Sunday
l'p to going to pres" Saturday even-
ing we gave a full report of the demo
CJatic convention up to and including
the nomination for sheriff.
The democrats afterwards nominated
C. P Drace for commissioner of this die
trict against Harry Shortman, while J.
T. Perry man of Morrison was nomin-
ated in the district.
G. L. Reece and £>. P. Winn were
nominated for justices of the peace for
city of Perry and M. C. Davidson for
constable.
Ihe convention appointed a commit-
tee consisting of Messrs T. O. Yatee
Harden, Starkey, Woolsey and Ti'lery as
a committee to n jt ify the pop contingent
of the action of the convention and rat-
ify the pop nominations after which
they quit business without the formality
of an adjournment.
I he populist end of the fusion was
not even s j harmonious as their demo-
cratic brethreu, Up to G o'clock they
had only filled two places on their ticket,
register of deeds and county clerk. Mr.
Tucker hail no opposition for register
but Allen Daniels had a hard tight on
his hands to secure a renomination for
clerk. The populist brethren did not
approve of Daniels securing a Republi-
can in the person of John A. Hansen to
make up the tax roll for 8120.00 when
the county paid $300.CO for the job leav
ing Daniels a net pn tit of $180.00, but
he finally pulled through with a scratch.
The woods were full of candidates for
public weigher, but J. R Churchill won
out and if elected will have the oppor-
tunity to lick two centjrevenue stamps
and contribute his services gratis to the
public for the next two years.
Dr. Carpenter was the choice of the
convention for coroner, while W, H.
Leininger carrie off the laurel* for as-
sessor
The tight of the convention and one
which showed the consistency of the
populist doctrine in hav ng t e office

tive, the offi ;e had been endeavoring to
tied a suitap'e man for s )ine time and a
majority had concluded he hud been

talked too much in the forenoon and the
office presented Ed ClarK who seem-
ed ava'lable until it was discovered he
did not conform to all the vague and un
reasonable theories of the or ed wh®u a
man was discovered who had never been
heard of before, did not calk too much
and would subscribe to everything in

FOR PORTO RICO.
GENERAL MILE? LEADS AN ARMY
AGAINST THE ISLAMD
WILL ARRIVE SUNDAY
SOMETHING NEW
With 3,000 Men Followed by 7,500 Will
in a Day or Two—Work of Raising
the Spanish Boat Maria Teresa
Progressing Satisfactorily
WHshing'on, July 21.—Genera' Miles,
leading the military expedition against j
Porto Rico, started at 3 o'clcc't this af-
ternoon from Siboney for the point on
the island of Porto Rico where it is the
intention that the troops shall land. It ,
is expected that General Miles will wait j
at some appointed spot on the route for
the expeditons from Tampa, Newport j
News and New York to fall into his col-1
umn. These expeditions are already
under way, some of them with two or
three days start of General Miles, so
that the delay should not be very great.
After all the difficulty about the naval
convoy the strength of that now furnish
ed is surprising. There is a battleship
of the first-class, the Massachusetts, an
effective protected cruiser,the Connecti-
cut, a speedy and well armed gunboat,
the Annapolis, and three vessels of the
auxilliary navy which have already prov
ed by their performance in Cuban wat-
ers that they are fully equal to the ordin
ary gunboat in offensive power. These
are the Glouster, which distinguished
itself in the destruction of Cervera's
fleet, the Wasp, which has attained an
enviable notoriety as a disturber of Span
ish block houses, and the Leyden, which
for a time wa6 the sole representative of
United States power in Havana harbor.
Secretary A'ger believes that General
Miles on the tale will arrive at his des
tination on Sunday with 3,000 men un
der his command. A day later will come
4,000 men and the day following 3,500
more. Whether the men and the land-
ing will be deferred until the arrival of
this entire force or whether General
Miles will hoist the flag himself on Porto
Rican soil is left to the descretion of that
officer.
General Schwan's brigade, comprising
the Eleventh and the Nineteenth infan-
try, a eplendid body of trained soldiers,
sailed today from Tampa to join General
Miles, and if the Porto Rican expedition j
is not an immediate success it will n< t
be for lack of disposition in the war de
partment to supply every requisite.
Washington, July 21.—The following
was received this morning from Samp-
son:
"Progress in raising Maria Teresa i-
satisfactory. The company thinks the
ship can be raised by Sunday. No fur-
ther information regarding other ships.
The board of officers is now examining
the Reina Mercedes, today. She will I
also probably be raised. Lieutenant '
Commander Pillsbury, commanding the
Vesuvius, is supervising the wrecking on j
the part of the navy."

There is such a thing as making mon
ey in the army, even outside of the
quartermaster's department. Frank
Wells, a barber, who is a member of the
Twenty-first Kansas Voluntees. has a
contract with 100 fellow soldiers where
by each man pays him 75 cents a month
for eight shaves, one haircut and one
shampoo. The sum thus real /ed, plus
his pay and the value of his board and
clothes, nets him more than his captain
makes.
It took us an hour and a half to look
over McMasters weekly to connect Phil
Rucker's locals into one item and now
Whorton has l>ecome so "nutty" on the
Bowles question he copies us in his
democrat convention article and forgets
to give us credit. Lon should have
been vaccinated for the "old thirg"
when he mixed up with Shrader and
Bowles.

Advice to
Consumptives
There are three great reme-
dies that every person with
weak lungs, or with consump-
tion itself, should understand.
These remedies will cure
about every case in its first
stages ; and many of those
more advanced. It is only
the most advanced that are
hopeless. Even these are
wonderfully relieved and life
itself greatly prolonged.
What are these remedies ?
Fresh air, proper food and
scon's Emulsion
of Cud-Liver Oil villi Hypo-
phosphites. Be afraid of
draughts but not of fresh air.
Eat nutritious food and drink
plenty of milk. Do not forget
that Scott's Emulsion is the
oldest, the most thoroughly
tested and the highest en-
dorsed of all remedies for
weak throats, weak lungs and
consumption in all its stages.
