1.00 a Year
We Ve B&eme (Setting
Married!
wmBemamaBmmmamurim
at our house and
don't know that
we have (cents)
sense enough left
to tell you much
about things, but
there is one thing
we must say be-
fore we forget it,
we just received
several new wool-
en Dress Patterns
for fall. There is
seven yards in
each piece, 42 in.
wide, no two of
them alike. Are
nearly all hard
smooth finished
serges in the new-
est indistinct block
plaids. Every
pattern is a dis-
tinctive and en-
tirely original pro-
duction. These
serges are worth
$1.50 per yd. but we are
yard patterns for
selling
$9.00
The light weight serges and broadcloth in
block plaids will be "it" this fall, with the
panamas and voiles a close second. We will
soon have a complete line of these goods.

Qualified Voters.
Section 2 of the general elec-
tion laws of Oklahoma, under
which the coming election will
be held, reads as follows:

the age of 21 years or upwards,
belonging to either of the fol-
lowing classes, who have resided
in the Territory for the period
of SIX months, in the township

cinct thirty days next preceding
any election: First, citizens of
United States; Second, persons
of foreign birth who shall have
complied with the provisions of
the laws of the United States on
the subject of naturalization,
Third, civilized persons of In-
dian descent, not members of
anv tribe."
Dan Hendricks prides himself
on the size of melons he raises.
Dan can be counted on to grow
as big melons as anyone in this
vicinity. But we are inclined to
believe he was exaggerating a
little when he said, coming back
on the train from Oklahoma
City the other night, that he had
some melons as long as the seat
in a passenger coach. That's
some melon, Dan, to be sure.
Mr. and Mrs. Sam L. Morley
have returned from their visit in
Minnesota, having had a delight-
ful stay.
REPUBLICAN
RALLY
Heap Much Speaking and
Preiiy Fair Crowd at
Opera House.
Gov. Frantz and party ar-
rived in the city at a few minutes
before 11 o'clock Tuesday night,
the delay being the result of the
usual breakdown on theiiiteiur-
ban, at Dow.
The audience at the opera
house was entertained by A. M.|
Burton ot Tishomingo, who as- j
sural his hearers that he was for j
whisky and pledged his earnest j
efforts to secure more whisky j
and better whisky.
Mr. Burton was followed by
Attorney Fuller of McAlester,
who devoted the most of his
time showing that Mr. Haskell
was an awfully mean man
whose name was not worthy to
be spoken of on the same day
with Gov. Frantz. As in line
with ti?.? republican policy the
constitution was wholly objec-
tionable to Lawyer Fuller, and
rotten to the core, vet regardless
of how inconsistent it might ap-
pear, the repulican party pledges
itself, in case it is elevated to
power, and the constitution is
adopted, to carry out the pro-
visions of that "villianous" in-
strument which they declare to
be unrepubliean in form. "Con-
sistent" as it may appear that
is the position taken by the re-
] publicans who stand upon the
Tulsa platform. Mr. Fuller suc-
ceeded in pretty well talking his
hearers down and out by the
time the Frantz party arrived,
which was a few moments be-
fore 11.
Governor Frantz is not an
orator by any means, but is a
fine looking man and makes a
good appearance on the plat-
form. His remarks were liberal-
ly applauded.
Gov. Frantz was followed in
a short address by S. H. Reed
candidate for attorney general,
lie made a very good republican
speech; and doubtless thinking
this a good place to make a hit,
declared that he was for whiskey
and would therefore vote against
prohibition.
P. W. Mallov for the legisla-
ture and Capt. J. P. Grady for
sheriff were present and made
short speeches, as was Ed Sittle
for district clerk.
Miss Holmes, candidate for
supt. of county schools was
present. The band played
"Marching Thro'Georgia" which
the feminine candidate was
heard to say, "sounds good to
me," but added that she didn't
hear it much in these parts.
The meeting was a success and
seemed to afford our republican
friends a great deal of enjoyment.
BATTLE WITH
IHiORSE THIEF
The Butterfly
An absolutely new pattern in
CUT GLASS
Every piece is a work of art and the product of the most
skilled artist. Its glistening beautv is enhanced by the
fine quality of crystal glass from which it is made, and
which is to be seen on display at MeAlcstei s Grandest
Jewelry Establishment.

Cured by a Carpet Tack.
Edward Cox, of Williamstown,
N. Y., months ago suffered a
stroke of paralysis that left him
speechless. The doctors thought
a blood clot had formed on the
brain and they said Mr. Cox
would never recover the use of
his speech. A carpet tack did
what medical science failed to do
—brought back the lost voice to
Mr. Cox and gave him speech as
fluent as in days before he was
stricken dumb. The tack rested
on a chair, point upwards, and
Mr. Cox sat upon it. The sur-
prise and pain brought to his
lips .a forceful exclamation. A
moment afterwards his wrath
changed to joy when lie discover-
ed he had regained the power of
speech. The doctors say it is a
permanent cure.
V. II Abbott, of Craig, is
repo.ud to have had a battle
wit ]<V horse thief on the road
betv v'oi here and Wilburton last
Friday forenoon. He thinks he
winged his man, but no further
reports have been heard to con-
firm hisstatement. Abbott says
several shots were exchanged
but that lie was uninjured. After
the battle, he claims to have
given the horse thief a chase, but
as the horse thief had the swift-
est horse, lie succeeded in mak-
ing iiis get-away.
Wedding Bells.
Married, at the home of the
bride. Miss Georgie Forbis to
Mr. J. M Young, of Heavener,
I. T., August '11,1 I".
The celebration of this cere-
mony begins the wedded life of
two of our most esteemed young
people. Thus runs the tide of
human events throughout the
history ot mankind—the old, old
story, yet ever new.
Miss Georgia, the youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. K. T.
Forbis, of this city, is young,
beautiful and in the prime of
health—to know her is to love
her, and to love her is an
holier. She is most dearly
loved by her coterie of friends,
both young and old, for her
sweet disposition as well as her
many accomplishments. Being
graced with all the attributes of
womanly loveliness she is a prize
fit to be won by the christian
gentleman whom she has chosen
for a life companion.
Mr. Young is a merchant of
Heavener, I. T., a man of estim-
able character, most highly es-
teemed by those who have
known him longest. By his in-
dustry and enterprise he is
known as one of the leading citi-
zens and merchants of his city,
possessedfof the sterling quali-
ties of manhood for which a true
American citizen is most highly
regarded.
At high noon, keeping time to
the sweet strains of Mendellsohns
wedding march, played by Miss
Mae Martyn, the bride and
groom, followed by Miss Ruth
Forman and Mr. Walter Young,
bridesmaid and best man, march-
ed into the parlor where the
beautiful and impressive cere-
mony was conducted by Rev.
George Wolf, pastor of the
Christian church of Haileyville.
After congratulations the
guests were ushered into the (lin-
ing room to partake of the
sumptuous wedding feast, such
as only a loving mother knows
how to prepare.
Mr. and Mrs. Young left on
the afternoon train for an ex-
tended wedding tour, stopping
one day at Ft. Smith to visit the
groom's father and mother, and
from there toSt. Louis,Chicago,
Buffalo, New York City, Atlan-
tic City, Washington and return-
ing by the way of the Jamestown
Exposition, thence to their home
in Heavener, I. T., at which
place they will be at home to
their friends after September 20,
1907.
No invitations were issued ex-
cept to a few friends and rela-
tives. Those present were: Mrs.
Ann Moore, Rev. Geo. Wolfe
and wife, Haileyville; Mr. j. W.
Young, Ft. Smith, Ark., father
of the groom; Mr. Walter Young,
Checotah, brother of the groom;
Mr. and Mrs. I). D. Forman.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Mathews,
Mrs. Cora Huff, Haileyville,
Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Raymond,
Misses Mae Martyn, Ruth For-
man, Bertha Forman.
SEC. GARFIELD,
GOV. FRANTZ
And Party Guests of Harts-
horne a Few Minutes
Sunday.
A special interurban ear came j
over Sunday evening bearing!
Secretary Garfield, Gov. Frantz i
and party, and were guests of!
Hartshorne citizens for a few |
minutes.
The secretary is being ban-j
(|netted by the coal barons, cor-
porations attorneys and carpet-
baggers, but let us hope that his
sense of justice and good practi-
cal common sense, with which
he is said to be endowed will en-
able him to obtain and retain
only such information as will
best subserve the interests of Un-
people, and that he will return to
to his post well equipped for the
discharge of his duty, regardless
of what the special interests may
undertake to secure through him.
We understand that the secre-
tary is convinced of the out-
rageous appraisement of Harts-
horne town lots and that we
have good reason to hope for re-
lief at the coming session of con-
gress.
IS FOR FRIENDS OF
THE COSTITUTION
Republican County Committee-
man Resigns—Scores
Frantz's Atti-
tude.
Sulphur, I. T., Aug. 20.—De-
claring that lie favors immediate
statehood and that to aid in as
suring the adoption of the con-
stitution and the enactment of
consistent laws thereunder he in-
tends to vote for its known
friends, J. P. Lockwood, republi-
can county committeeman has
resigned. In his letter making
known this plan of action he de-
clares for the proposed constitu-
tion, first, last and all the time,
(a), because, to be for it is to
stand for statehood, and (b), to
oppose it means to advocate in-
definite prolongation of present
chaotic local conditions. He
further states that Frank Frantz
will never be governor again, ex-
cept by appointment, and scores
him for "at least winking fit the
doubtful proceedings of the Tulsa
convention."
Continuing he says: "There
fore, in order to make as sure as
possible of the constitution, and
of the enactment of consistent
laws thereunder, I shall vote
with and for its friends—ITS
KNOWN FRIENDS, not making
a single exception."

Organized Labor's Endorse-
ment.
The unanimous endorsement
given the constitution by the
Twin-Territorial Federation ol
Labor at its late meeting in this
city is not only indicative of the
favor in which organized labor
regards the proposed organic
law of the new state but also
significant in a number of other
ways.
The proposed constitution is
the greatest charter of human
liberty ever prepared for any
people. It breaths the spirit of
all classes from cover to cover,
and guarantees to the humblest
citizen the same right, privileges
and immunities as enjoyed by
the most powerful and influen-
tial.
There is, of course, a reason for
this. When the constitutional
convention convened at Guthrie,
the legislative committee of the
Federation of Labor presented
a demand cantaining twenty-
three features d . ;igned to pro-
tect and promote the welfare ot
the laborer which were incorpor-
ated into the constitution.
Organized labor, therefore,
having been given all it asked
for is naturally in lavor of the
adoption of this constitution.
I t s unanimous endorsement
evences its gratitude and sincere
desire for its adoption.
The attitude of organized labor
toward the constitution is like-
wise the attitude of every citizen
who is in favor of immediate
statehood and a form of local
self-government which will en-
able him to enjoy the fullest
fruits of his efforts. And with-
out regard to former political
affiliations, its members will be
found voting with the democrats
this year, because they know
that it is .worthy of their confi-
dence and can be depended upon
to faithfully execute laws made
by its leaders and which they
are in the fullest sympathy.—
Oklahoman.
