New Time Lock Safe, weighing 7,-
000 Founds Installed--0"® ot
Finest Safes'in Territory.
Tuesday the Citizens Bank of Ed-
mond installed one of the iinest time
lock safes in Oklahoma. It is what
is known a double combination time
lotek, both the outer and inner doors
being operated with time locks, in ad-
dition to the combination. It Is an
exceptionally strong safe and wel&h®
7 000. When the safe is closed at
o'clock and the time locks set until the
hour set for the time lock to release
the bolts no man can open the safe,
and then two combinations have to be
properly adjusted before the safe
can be opened. This is one of the
celebrated Hosier safes that have
proven burglar proof in several tests,
where large sums of money have been
offered to the most expert safe blowers
to open the safe in twelve hours. So
far no one has succeeded in effecting
an entrance. With such a safe the
Citizens Bank now feels that its books
and funds are absolutely safe and the
stockholders know to a certainty that
the funds of their patrons are fully
protected, from either burglars or
fire.

THE DEER SLAYERS
Edmond Nimrods Return from Ar-
kansas Hunting Trip
H. R. Miller, A. B. DeSelms and E.
H. Jayne returned Friday evening
from a week's hunting trip in darkest
Arkansaw. The boys report a fine
time, having killed two deer and one
turkey. The first deer killed, a five-
point* -buck, was killed early in the
morning before breakfast. Miller and
Jayne were going up the creek a little
ways from camp, leaving DeSelms in
camp to get breakfast, 'i hey had not
gone far when Miller yelled, "Look
out, there it comes," at the same time
firing at it. He thinks he hit the ani-
mal. The deer ran close to Jayne,
who turned his Krag-Jorgenson loose,
three shots, hitting it twice. DeSelms,
hearing the shooting, ran out with a
shot gun loaded with buck shot, just
in time to get a good shot as the deer
passed close to the camp. The deer
gave a few leaps afterward and fell
dead. Jayne killed the other deer and
turkey.
They tell a good story on DeSelms,
which must be true as he doesn't deny
it. He was out hunting about five
miles from camp when he shot at a
turkey. Thinking perhaps he might
see it again he followed it for awhile,
when he lost his direction. Taking out
his compass, he laid it on a stump. He
says to himself, "This is north, plain
enough, and this is south; this is east,
and this is west; but where in thunder
is camp?'' If you want to know how
he got back to camp you will have to
ask him.
Miller says DeSelms killed the deer
with one of the biscuits he had baked
for breakfast.
The boys are planning to go again
next fall.

Will Give Fine Entertainment
On Feb. 26th, the department of in-
strumental music will give what prom-
ises to be one of the finest entertain-
ments ever given in Edmond. Pupils
of Prof. Lehrer, Miss White and Miss
Slack will take part. There will be
four orchestral numbers, one <>f which
will be a descriptive piece. There will
be solos and duets on the piano, se-
lections by the mandolin club and the
entertainment will close with band mu-
sic. There will be variety enough to
please everybody and the fact that pu-
pils of Prof. Lehrer and the Misses
White and Slack are to furnish the en-
tertainment is assurance.that it will be
par excellence in every particular.
Hundreds of people in Ed-
mond and elsewhere are testify-
ing as to the High Quality of the

Epidemic of the Loathesotne Disease
Spreads to Convention
A'n epidemic of smallpox which has
been steadily spreading in Guthrie for
the last two weeks, has reached the
constitutional convention, and at least
three of the meml>ers and employes of
the convention are now suffering from
the loathsome disease.
Henry S. Johnson of Perry, a dele-
gate to the convention, has been in the
hospital since Saturday night and it
became noised about Wednesday that
he is down with the smallpox.
Pat Oakes, assistant sergeant at
arms, has been absent from the con
vention all this week and a rumor is
in circulation that he is in Oklahoma
City suffering from the malady, but
this report is unconfirmed.
Francis Burke, a page, has been
regularly attending to his duties until
Monday, when, it is alleged, he was
taken down with the smallpox. It is
now rumored that his father, J. D.
Burke, chairman of the board of coun-
ty commissioners, and a sister had
been suffering with the malady for
several days while the lad was ser\ing
as a page in the convention.
Several members of the convention
were reported on the sick list \\ ednes-
dav and there is keen apprehension
felt that the spread of the contagion
will be general among the delegates.
A prominent physician said \ ester-
day there are 200 cases of smallpox in
Guthrie and the surrounding country,
but the large proportion of the cases
is confined to'the colored population.
County Clerk Ed Trapp said that
there had been at least 50 cases of the
disease reported to him at his office.
Inquiry as to the source of the con-
tagion discloses the fact that five per-
sons confined in the city jail about ten
davs ago were found to have small-
pox. They were removed to the pest
house.
OKLAHOMA COI'NtY WILL HAVE
THIIEE MEMBERS IN ASSEMBLY
THE JANUAKY VISTA
Woman Arrested in Edmond.
It is said that a woman was
arrested in Edmond, a few days
ago for carrying concealed
Weapons. On search there was
nothing found on her person but
a can of "First Prize Baking
Powder" but the Judge said
that was a mighty good Raiser
(razor), so she said if the Judge
would give her a little time she
would try to raise the Dough if
the Powder was good, and it
was.
There will he a total of 34 Senators
and 103 Representatives iu
Legislature
The first legislature of the state of
Oklahoma will be composed of 24 sen-
ators and 103 representatives, should
the present decision of the legislative
apportionment committee stand.
Of the 3+ senators 1" will be from
Indian territory and 17 from Oklaho-
ma and the Osage nation.
Oklahoma county will be a separate
senatorial district.
The 103 representatives are to come,
52 from Indian Territory, and 51 from
Oklahoma and the Osage nation.
Each county in the state is a legis
lative district and is entitled to at
least one representative in the legis-
lature.
The highest number of representa
tives given to any one county is three
Oklahoma and Pottawatomie counties
... Oklahoma, and Muskogee county
in Indian territory having that num-
There is a strong feeling today
however, that Indiau territory should
be given only equal representation
with the balance of the state, and a
movement is on foot to relieve Musko-
gee county of one of its representa-
tives, so as to make the total number
102, or 51 on each side of the < imag-
inary line.
In counties having more than one
representative all are to-be chosen by
the popular vote of the county, which
will not be subdivided into districts.
This provision will doubtless meet
with strong opposition if reported to
the convention, as the larger counties
feel that a representative's campaign
should be limited to a district of the
community in which he^lives.

Montaville Flowers Delights Edmond
People.
A large and appreciative audience
was highly entertained Saturday even-
ing by Montaville Flowers, at the as-
sembly hall. Mr. Flowers is one of
the most accomplished impersonators
that has ever appeared in Edmond.
He recited from Dickens' "Christmas
Carols" and showed great clevernoss
in impersonating the different charac-
ters. One moment he was the simple
little child and the next the cringing
old miser. He kept his audience in a
high state of expectation from start to
finish and every anticipation was fully
realized.
The promise made the people of Ed-
mond last fall, of a superior enter-
tainment course, with first-class at-
tractions, is certainly being fulfilled.
