Where Are the Herrirkil
The people of Cass township are
very mueh worried over the mysteri-
ous disappearance of Mr. George Mer-
rick and family, and fear that foul
play Is connected therewith. Mr.
Merrick is a prominent citizen of that
township, being township trustee,
and he and his family are warmly es-
teemed and respected by everybody.
The family consists of himself, wife
and two children, and they lived on a
good claim which they had improved
nicely. For some months Mrs. Mer-
rick has been dissatisfied, and acted
so strangely that the neighbors
thonght her insane. Her hallucina-
tions were principally connected with
religiout and moral subjects, but lat-
terly she seemed to think that her
husband was in danger, although
there was not the least ground for it,
of going to the penitentiary.
On Monday a week ago they
hitched up the team and putting a
bed and some few household utenaiis
In the wagon drove away, leaving cat-
tle tied in the stable, hogs in the pen,
their corn unshucked in the field and
wheat and oats untlueshed in the
stack. Not seeing them around for a
day or two, I). B. Mitchell investi-
gated and found the cattle and hogs
aluost famished for food and drink.
Since then he has looked after it by
virtue oi his position as justice of the
peace, and will take care of it until
Ihey or their relatives in Illinois are
heard from. Every effort has been
made to trace them, but without suc-
cess. It Is a queer case and further
developments ara anxiously awaited
by that community.
Clyde Maltox was brought over from
El Reno Sunday in irons and in charge
of a deputy U. S. marshal, and taken
to Wichita. He had grown a mous-j
tache since he left here, which was j
almost a complete disguise, but the!
officers got onto him and took him in.!
It will be remembered he jumped
bis $5,000 bond for his appearance at
the Wichita court to auswer to the
charge of killing John Mullins, the
colored man. He had been tried,
found guilty and sentenced to death,
but secured a reversal and a new trial.
On the new trial the Jury disagreed
and he was admitted to bail, Frank
Gault, of this city, being one of his
bondsmen. When the case w-s
called Clyde did not appeal and the
bond was declared forfeited, which
made the bondsmen hustle to appre-
hend him. It is not likely he will te
allowed to give bond, or could give it
again.
Dr. Hawley is agent for the Ramb-
ler bicycle—one of the best of strictly

TO ADVERTISE OKLAHOMA CITV.
Another (ireat EfTort to Let tlie Light
Shine,—What the "Tinics-Jour-
nal" Proposes to do.—Let the
World know the Advan-
tages of Our City.
There has never been a time more
auspicious than the present in which
to advance the material interests of
our thriving city. The opening of
the Cherokee strip furnishes a new
market which can become Oklahoma
City's market if our citizens are alive
to their duty. This market Is ours If
we strive for it, and the Times-
Journal believes that a very large
portion of the strip trade can be di-
verted to our city provided its facili-
ties and advantages be properly placed
before the people. To accomplish
this the Ti.ves-Jouunal has in prep-
aration a full and comprehensive
write-up of our city which will cover
all points of interest—our schools,
churches, railway facilities, financial
Institutions, our wholesale houses,
our climate, and other advantages
will be dealt with in detail.
Every business and profession in
the city will be written up in full to
show the character of the people who
make Oklahoma City their home.
This work is intended to comprise
an edition of 20,000 copies, and will
be illustrated with cuts of many of
our leading buildings, together with
pleasant biographical sketches of our
most prominent people. Twenty
thousand copies will be printed ex-
clusive of the regular edition of this
paper, and the wide circulation they
will have will prove of inestimable
value as an advertising medium,while
the many thousands of copies which
will be sent north, sooth, and cast,
will attract the attention of capital-
seeking investments, and homeseekers
looking for a permanent abiding
place in a climate favored as li ours.
There will be no charge for articles,
cuts or portraits appearing in the
big edition. All that Is asked is that
our enterprising people subscribe for
a liberal number of copies of the pa-
per and mail tliein to their friends
thereby showing to the world the ad'
vantages of our city.
The work of compiling this Big edi
tion has been placed in the hands of
two finedcscrlptive writers, and that
! the edition will be a credit to the city
the Times-Journal assures all, and
;i ks a generous support In the work,
which will bring good returns to all
within the corporate limits of our
city. Staud up for Oklahoma City,
and let her light shine.

Not one minute elapses between the
taking of One Minute Cough Cure
