A. 0.
City Clerk A. 1). Martin was honored
at the state convention of the Modern
Maccabees at Oklahoma City yester-
day by being elected statn commander,
and also one of the two delegates to
represent Oklahoma at the national
convention to be held in Toledo, Ohio,
June 1(1. Mr. Martin upon being elect-
ed state commander assumed the chair
and presided over the convention. He
will also call the next convention to
order two years hence. The other
delegate to Toledo Is W. ,1. Bell, su-
pervising deputy for Oklahoma, Texas
and New Mexico. Following the con-
vention at Toledo the delegates will
be taken to Detroit and thence to Port
Huron to visit the Modern Maccabees
Temple. They will then be turned
loose to follow their own devises.
This will be Mr. Martin's first trip
north.
LIVELY CONIEST FOB
COUNCIL'S PRESIDENCY
There promises to be a lively con-
test over the office of president of the
city council among the democratic
members of that body. Up to this
time the avowed candidates, It is as-
serted, are Messrs. Parker and Farris.
It is believed, however, that Lain,
on account of his being the dean of
the democratic members, having been
the only one re elected this spring Day
is also thought to have aspirations, al-
though he has uot as yet so expressed
himself. "Parker is the logical candi-
date," said a democrat this morning,
and he will have a walkaway."
W FOR
There is a movement on foot among
>ome of the merchants and other* of
the city for band concerts to l>e giv-
en of evenings during the coming
summer In Woodland Park or Bome
other convenient place. A very small
donatWm from each merchant and the
other citizens interested would make
a nightly concert possible, and this
would go far toward enlivening the
town. The matter is worthy of con-
sideration.
GREEIS OPERA CO.
A large audience was at the Beck-
r last night to greet the Boston Ideal
Opero Co., in their opening bill, "Mas-
cotte." The company is an excellent
one, and put up the best performance
of its class seen in Shawnee for many
a day. The audience was delighted
with the production, and warm words
of praise of the work of the members
of the company are heard everywhere
today.
The Boston Ideal Comic Opera Co.
will appear at the Becker again to-

cluding railroad men and farmers. The

ployed who are being discharged and
men from other cities who have no
homes or families here, taking their
places, the main object being that the

cil demanding that the contract of tlTe

"AS SHAWNEE HAS VOTED TO
HAVE A NEW CHARTER. WHAT IS
ORGANIZED LABOR GOING TO DE-
MAND FOR LABOR INTERESTS?
"Many other subjects will probably
be introduced, and it is urged that all
labor unions insist that their members
be present so that all may know that
organized labor is alive to its inter-
ests."

Beware of Ointments For Catarrh
That Contain Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely de-
range the wtoole system when enter-
lng it through the mucous surfaces.
Such articles Bhould never be useu
except on prescriptions from reputa-
ble physicians, as the damage they
wil do is ten fold to the god you can
possibly derive from them. Hall'B
Catarrh Cure^ manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains
no mercury, and is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. In
buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure
you get the genuine. It is taken in-
ternally and made in Toledo, Ohio, by

Pleasantly Surprised.
Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Weddle were
pleasantly surprised by a company of
friends at their North Broadway
home Tuesday evening. It was a art
of double birthday surprise* as Tues-
today Mrs. Weddle's. An exceedingly
today Mrs. Wedle's. An exceeingly
pleasant time was enjoyed by all.
Light refreshments were served. Mr.
and Mrs. Weddle were presented with
a handsome hand painted dish.
That languid, lifeless feeling comes
with spring and early summer, can
be quickly changed to a feeling of
buoyancy and energy by the judicious
use of Dr. Shoop's Restorative. The
Restorative is a genuine tonic to tired,
rundown nerves, and but a few doses
is needed to satisfy the user that Dr.
Shoop's Restorative is actually reacn-
ing that tired spot. The indoor life
of winter nearly always leads to slug-
gish bowels, and to sluggish circula-
tion in general. The customary lack
of exercise and outdoor aid ties up
the river, stagnates the kidneys, and
oft-times weakens the Heart's action
Use Dr. Shoop's Restorative a few
weeks and all will be changed. A few
days test will tell you that you are
using the right remedy. You will
easily and surely note the change
from day to day. Sold by Wallace
Mann. •

Newsboys' Game Which Has Small
Chances for the Plungers.
Perhaps It isn't an entirely new
game, but It wai the first time that
the wayfarer had seen it, aaya the
New York Sun.
A group of newsboys were gathered
about another boy who had an im-
provised tep made of a spool pierced
by a sharpened skewer. The spool
was bo cut that it presented four
square sides, each marked with a let-
ter. The letters were P. T. N. and A.
The boy with the top spun it, while
the others made wagers, mostly in
cents. When the top came to rest it
naturally fell on one of the square
sides.
"What does it mean?" asked the
wayfarer.
"Well," said one of the boys, "ao
cording to the way the top falls you
can make or lose the money you put
up. If It drops on P then you put in
a sum equal to what you bet for the
fellow who runs the wheel. If it falls
on T then you can take back the
stake you put up.
"If it comes on N that means none
You lose Just what you put up. If
It comes to A then the banker has to
pay all the men who are playing."
The spool roulette wheel did a fine
business for the banker while the on-
looker was there.
8TREAK OF LUCK FOR AUNTIE.
Emolument and Honor In Matrimonial
Alliance.
Old Auntie Mandy, who did the
washing, was such a happy, brave old
soul that although she worked very
hard early and late and must often
have been weary, nothing could de-
press her. In everything that oo-
curred she saw only "good luck" for
herself. One day she brought home
the washing in a high state of glee.
"Jes' think. Mis' Arnold," she said,
"I's goin' ter git married! Isn't dat
Jes' fine luck to' poor ole black woman
like me?"
"I shall be very sorry to lose you,
Mandy," said Mrs. Arnold, "but I'm
glad if your life will be easier."
"Lose me!" gasped Mandy. "Lor'!
Mis' Arnold, I can't afford to let you
lose me Jes' now. Why, I'se goin' ter
marry Br'er Johnson an' his five chil-
lun. I'se got to hustle now, for sar-
tln."
"But I fall to see where your good
luok is coming In from such a mar-
riage, Mandy."
"Why, chile, if I marry dat man an'
his chlllun, he's promised me six mo'
big washes his fust wife done had
Dat'b clar cluck, Mis' Arnold, clar
luck, 'sides habin' de honor ob marry-
in' In Br'er Johnson's fambly!"
A Magic Oven.
The smith was building a large and
peculiar oven. "It's a shame," he
said, "to tell you what this oven's for;
but the secret is too good a one to
keep. It is a picture-aging oven. It
is guaranteed to add in a couple ot
hours two or three hundred years to
a picture's age. You know the cracks,
the innumerable little cracks, that
crosB-cross in a thousand squares and
diamonds the surface of an old mas-
ter? Well, a smooth, fresh picture, put
Into this oven, develops under a care
fully regulated temperature those
very cracks. Withdraw your picture,
then add dust and dirty varnish to
taste and set to cool, and you've
got an old master that Gobsa Golde
or Stoxon Bonds will pay big money
for. I daren't tell you the name of the
well known art dealer I am making
this oven for," the smith concluded.
"But it's not the first, nor the tenth
oven, either, I've turned out"
Sided with Father.
"There is a little chap in our town,"
said the suburbanite, "whose fathei
and mother have words quite frequent-
ly, and have them loud enough to be
heard by the neighbors. The burden
of their recriminations, when audible,
is, on the wife's part, that she ever
lowered the Hicks family sufficiently
to marry a Stubbs; and on his part
that he ever honored the Hicks family
by allying It with the house of Stubbs.
One day last summer the young son
of the house went fishing. He had
barely got his line into the brooB
when he heard his mother calling him.
" 'There it is,' said he, disgustedly;
'the minute the Stubbses begins te
fish the Hlckses begins to holler.'"
Cap Worn Only by Travelers.
With the ancient Greeks the hat
was simply an appurtenance of the
traveler. The free citizen preferred
to go bareheaded and only put on his
broad-brimmed petasus for protection
against the sun when on a long Jour-
ney. Indeed, the uncovered head was
part of his dignity, for the slaves and
workmen wore always a kind of point-
ed skull cap, the plleus, which there,
fore stood for a badge of servitude.
Much the same acorn of habitually
covering the head prevailed among
the Romans. In England the hood
was not finally given up until the
early part of the fifteenth century.
Library of Wooden Books.
A private library of quite a unique
character is composed solely of 600
wooden books. The collection has
been made from the wood of different
trees growing in the park attached to
the chateau of Wilhelmshohe. At the
back of each book is a tablet in red
morocco Indicating the name of the
tree from which the volume has been
made, and the two covers are lightly
polished. Inside the book the com-
plete natural history of the tree is de-
tailed. The collection, which 1b at
Cassel, Includes 120 specimens and
145 varieties.
