THE NEWS AND QUILL.
Hour years ago the publisher of The
News came to Shawnee from Illinois for
the sole purpose ot purchasing the Quill
daily and w« kly, a Republican paper
published by Leftwich & Son, and of-
fered several thousand dollars for the
plant but could not make the deal
However, believing Shawnee was a good
field for a newspaper plant, the publisher
sent to Illinois for his plant and estab-
lished The news. What the years have
brought to us. the people already know
Believing that the Republican party of
Shawnee and Eastern Oklahoma deserved
a good newspaper, our efforts to acquire
the Quill have increased and today the
plant was bought bv The News and the
two papers are now consolidated. The
Qnill was the oldest paper in this city
but The New* now has that honor. The
former publisher ofthe Quill, Mr. Left
wich, is am', has been a good friend of
the publisher of The nkws and we have
not desired to enter the field as a Repu! •
liran paper while he occupied it, but as
he is now out of the publishing business,
we now declare our position.
The News, as it always has been, will
be as fair to all the people in the future
as in the past and will continue its work
for the advancement of Shawnee and
Pottawatomie county, and always have
the interest of the people at heart.
The News lias always believed that
two good newspapers are all that Shaw-
nee can afford to support and the city
dow has two as fine papers (excuse tly
boast for it is not an idle onet as any
communitv of considerably larger size,
and the citizens should extend their sup-
port to two papers and two alone,all that
one citv of less than 100.000 can support.
These papers spent considerable money
on helping boild up the city, and the
citizens should reciprocate.
The News has no axes to grind and
will be fair in its politics, but it wants to
extend a cordial invitation to the strag-
glers to get into camp before measures
have to be taken to rope them back where
ther belong. A word to the wise. etc.
It is a dutv the people of Shawnee owe
to themselves as well as to their strong
friends, the newspapers to support these
papers and see that they are given the
best that can be secured. By doing this
the papers will be able to improve with
the city. We're here to stay and want
the friendship of everyone.
Let us have a good sanitary sewer sys-
tem and keep in good health.
It does not take much of a wind to
send the average man and woman to
cyclone cellar if there is one handy these
days.
Natural conditions attract attention
only by the fact that a live, uptodate, en-
terprising people take advantage of these
conditions.
Those 10 uninjured bears which the
President brought from the west, will
serve to teach officeholders that it is pos-
sible to remove the carcass without hurt-
ing the hide.
The day is not very far off when Shaw-
nee will be the center of hundreds of
fruit and ti uck farms which will be as
famed for their production as are those
in California.
A former New York Senator has had
a massuer arrested for loss of skin fol-
lowing hot-air treatment. Certainly a
j New York officeholder of all men, ou> lit
to know that any hot-air process relates
to a skin game.
The Santa Fe have notified the man-
agers of the Curtice Industrial Mission
school, that they will have an engit e
and two coaches ready for their use at 9
o'clock Saturday morning. The ladies
have been planing a picnic for some time
and finally decided on a trip to the J In-
dian school and asked the Santa |Fe for
transportation. All pupils and teachers
will meet at the Santa Fe depot prompt-
ly at 9 o'clock and go to the Indian
school to spend the day. There |will be
enough teachers present to attend'.to all
the scholars
The Curtice Industrial school contin-
ues to grow and every week there are a
few new scholars present. The teachers
are always endeavoring to secure some
new pleasure for the children and Satur-
day's trip will be not only a picnic but
will also give the young people an oppor-
tunity to learn a great deal. There are
now more than one hundred enrolled
and the attendance is always good.
When this school was started there were
only two or three girls in the class and
they met each Saturday at the home of
Mrs. W. H. Curtice, the founder of the
institution. But it grew so rapidly that
another place of meeting and more
teachers had to be secured. Now they
meet in the Roberts' Business college
and visitors are alwavs welcome.

ber of Commerce hall tonight. Tickets

ATOKA HAS
GOLD FEVER
The town of Atoka, 100 miles south-
east of this city, is considerably excited
over the reported discovery of gold in
the hills near town. The discovery is
vouched for by George F. Robinson and
Lewis Corrett. responsible business men
of Atoka. The> declare that they found
a tissue vein that assayed $2 per ton
throughout almost its entire course,
while picked samples went higher, one
return from the assayer showing a value
in the yellow metal of $36 per ton.
The only draw back to immediate de-
velopment of the field is the title to the
land. It is located on an Indian allot-
ment and under present laws, the Indian
canuot dispose of his holdings for some
years unless he can prove himself com-
petent to handle his own estate, which in
this instance may be hard to do.
HERBINE
Will overcome indigestion and dyspep-
sia, regulate the bowles and cure liver
and kidney complaints. It is the best
blood enricher and invigorator in the
world. It is purely vegetable, perfectly
harmless, and should you be a sufferer
from disease, you will use it if you are
wise. R. N. Andrews. Editor of Cocoa
and Rockledge News, Cocoa, Fla., writes
"I have used your Ilerbine in my family,
and find it a most excellent medicine.
Its effects upon myself have been a mark
ed benefit. I recommend it unhesitat-
ingly." 50c. Sold by Owl drug store. •
Shawnee is in need of a good sanitary
ewer system and should have it.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••a
A SOCIAL
Even a mayor may lead a strenous
life, according to Mayor Dunne of
Chicago.
Yoo can't really get around the fact
that to get the news you must read The
News.
It will soon be up to the citizens of
Shawnee to arrange for a good sanitary
sewerage system.
The towns that are doing things are
the ones that attract attention and that is
the reason Shawnee has been attracting
90 much attention.
How many of the 12,039 'liens who ar-
rived at New York Sunday will become
public charge* upon this land of the
free.

Snyder, Ok., May 19—Another tornado
victim. Miss Mary Mize, died at 9 o'clock
last night. Miss Murphy of St. Louis is
not expected to survive the night.
The relief fund was increased consider-
ably today and it is being paid out for
work in cleaning up the wreckage. As
many men as can be utilized are kept
constantly at work. A number of tem-
porary structures serve as shelter until
this work can be completed, when re-
building will commence. This, it is
thought, will begin in about a week.
A FOSTIYE NECESSITY.
Having to lay upon my bed for 14 days
from a severely bruised leg, I only found
relief when I used a bottle of Ballard's'
Snow Liniment. I can cheerfully recom-
mend it as the best medicine for bruises
ever sent to the afflicted. It has now be-
cotue.a positive necessity upon myself.
