TEMPERANCE LECTURES •
Entered at the postoffice at Shawnee
Oklahoma, as second-class matter.
Shawnee has the reputation of doing
things once she gets started and that is
an additional reason why we cannot af-
ford to stop building sidewalks.
In Ohio an old statute has been dug
up by which a man can be fined for
swearing. This is needed in a state
where politics is so generally practiced.
IP Mr. Rockefeller is bound to be
philanthropic there is an easy way to out
of his dilemma. No one could possibly
object if he sought to "reduce.the price"
of kerosense.
Tonight at the First M. E. church
Rev. G. H. Worthen will deliver the first
in a series of temperance lectures. His
subject will be "Personal liberty
alyzed; what money spent for drink
would buy; and an appeal to the labor-
ing man." Rev. Worthen is a noted
orator and has traveled a great deal,
which helps him to interest his audi-
ence. Lectures are free and everyone
invited.
A CREEPING DEATH.
Blood poison creeps up towards the
heart, causing death, j. E. Steams,
Belle Plaiae, Minn., writes that a friend
dreadfully injured his hand, which
swelled up like blood poisoning. Ruck-
len's Arnica Salve drew out the poison,
healed the wound, and saved his life.
Best in the world for burns and sores.

Chicago, May 24.—The Chicago militia
is ready for strike duty at a moment's
notice, well supplied with arms and am
munition. "I shall call for the militia
at the first signs of rioting," said sheriff
Barrett, today. Peace prospects in the

ABSTRACT
FARM and CITY L0AN!>; SIX
MONTHS TO SIX YEARS.
There is always a turn in tide and the
anan who is facing a series of misfortunes
should do the bert he can and strive to
overcome his difficulties. The world
has little use for a "quitter."
Hailstones as large as the Masonic
Temple fell in the suburbs of Chicago
the other day. Chicago is in a bad way
indeed, if she is "seein" thinva like that;
its worse than "snakes."

EVERYTHING EXACTLY AS AGREED
109 North Broadway, Shawnee, 0. T.
As a convention city Sliawute has de-
monstrated twice this month that she is
able to tike care of the state meetings in
a style that is equal to a town much lar-
ger and with facilities much greater than
.those possessed here.
The people of this city are now thor-
oughly aroused to the possibilities that
are before Shawnee if only the natural
conditions are taken advantage of. Being
thus aroused Thk News feels confident
that they will keep pushing the town
ahead until such time as they can reup
.he full advantage of these conditions.
That is all that is necessary.
CHARGES ARE
VERY STRONG
A complicated case is being unravelled
by Deputy Sheriff Carr and Justice
Reasor as the result of an prrest which

GROWING ACHES AND PAINS.
Mi's. Josie Sumner, Breniond, Texas,
writes, April 15, 1902: "I have used
Ballard's Snow Liniment in my family
for four years. I would not be without
it in the house. I have used it on my
Jtfle girl for growing paius and aches in

ment I ever used." jsc, 50c, fi. Sold

here from Texas and who resides three
miles west of here, wanted a warrant for
Will Hammer, a young married man of
that vicinity, and Hammer's brother-in-
law, Will Hicks, charging them with a
bad offense, and later found also that tfce
two young men wanted Tranffensted ar-
rested. As a result he swore out war-
rants for all three tor disturbing the
peace and they were arraigned before Jus-
tice Reasor this morning, their cases be
ing set for June 8. Hammer and Hicks
at once gave bond and Traffensted will
do likewise.
Traffensted says his thirteen year old
daughter disappeared from home Mon-
day uiglit and after a night's search and
investigation all day Tuesday, his wife
finally discovered the girl with two men
and he fears she has been ibused, though
she merely cries and will tell nothing.
Hammer says the girl came to his tent at
9 o'clock Monday night, called his wife,
and asked to stay there as her father had
beaten her. Traffensted admits switch-
ing her but he did not abuse her. Mrs.
Hammer permitted her to remain until
11 o'clock, when she was taken to the
home of Mr. Brown, whose family cared
for her until the next morning when she
returned home. He declares that the
girl came of her free accord, and was
crying over her condition. He made a
trip to Shawnee to consult a justice, later
returning home, and says he is ready to
let the court decide on the case, Mr.
Carr tound that Traffensted had taken a
gun and was looking for the men.

The highest speed Rotary Washing Maohine on the market. High speed ia one of the
essential features of a rotary washer. It creates a soapsuds or foam without having to
turn the fly wheel so fast that the speed rather than the work tires out the operator.
The speed of the White Lily ia 2 3-8 turn of the fly wheel to one turn and return of the
dasher—it creates more aoapsuds with less exertion than any other rotary maohine on
the market.
You oan't wash olothea clean without soap and the more foam you get from the soap
the oleaner your clothes will be. The high speed of the White Lily creates more soap-
suds or foam and will thua wasH the clothes oleaner and in one-half the time it takes
with any other. It ia the eaaiest running washer on the market! The gear is so simple
and it does away with the slide and frioMon,
