I lie people did not believe that
Roosevelt intended to cut down
the southern rep'esentati m in
congress simply becouse of Ins
love ol the nigger. They see it
now that his message declares it.
Imperialistic ideas could not
be carried out with a powerlul
torceof paid auxiliaries to enforce
the decreods of the dictator an J
bis satrapy, hence Roosevelt
advocates enlargement of the.
ariny and uavy. 11 is arguments
are spicious and insidious arid
calculated to fool the unweary
and the undertaking. Fellow
citizens, this republic was never
menaced with so serious a
danger before as that which
now confronts it. With the
downfall of Democracy tin; Re-

Shawnee. O. T., Dec.10.—Miss
Beatrice Russell, the thirteen
year old girl who was shot by
her brother, Robert, on la^t Sat
urday afternoon, has died of her
wound. 1 he accident occurred
at her home, about three miles
northwest of this city. The boy-
is about sixteen years of age
and is grief strcken over the
death of his sister.
lie was handtling a guu in a
careless manner, when it explod-
ed, the bullet striking the little
girl in the temple anil ranging
back, finally lodging in her neck,
where it remained so e'eeply
iaibeeded that it was impossible
to remove it.
In conversation with many
representative Democrats in
Arkansas the vriter hears expres-
sions as "what—fools we were.
We did not foresee. We didn't
like Clevland and Parker and we
let the couinrv go to hell. Now
look at it. The first dash out ot
the box is a bill to cut down the
representation of nearly every
southern state in the congress.
It is proposed to ruin and wipe
out the very semblance of Dem-
ocracy ami establish an imper-
ialistic government." Another
asked: "How do you d d
Missouri,!us feel now? How do
you like the Mysterious Strang-
er.' It would seem to be now
the purpose of the imperialist
regime which is in the saddle
to strike at and forever sub-
jugate the solid south. It was
the last section of the Union to
show its devotion to tile dying
Republic:, and the plutocracy-
demand its extinction.
Hcved their cousins to the fourth
degree from a line of ills ranging
from impetigo to appendicetis.
I took a stroll up the base of
a sort of range of hills, by cour-
tesy called mountains. I ran up
against an iron fountain on a cor-
rogated street corner and a police-
man, with a nose ou him like an
Oklahomo beet (beat), grabbed
a cup, anchored to a chain on
the fountain, and undertook to
pour a half pint of hot water into
a receptacle which for many 'nap-
py years had bene devoted to uses
which were guided by an aes-
thetic selection under my own
control. I kicked! I stolled on,
trying to look like an old resident,
and a gray haird old shitepoke
with a bronze thing on him which
looked like a G. A. R. badge
tried to snake me into a place
with a legend on it: "For Men
Only. I tolcl linn I was a virtuous
Rough Rider from Oklahoma.
He then claimed that he was one
of Forest cavalry, but that some
old Yank had croaked on the side
walk and the coroner gave him
the badge. I took him before a
notary about 35 years old and had
him sworn and the notary said he
was teling the truth because he
was a drummer boy :u the same
command. Why you have no idea
what you will run up against
here.
I finally selected a b.tthhouse
and handed over $7. The affable
grafter behind the counter, with a
smile like that Enid, cooti, Happy
Jack after a winning atcraos, said
"S3 more for attendants for self
and lady, and that just takes the
bill. An attendant named Johnson
who is about the same color as
the I). E. G. depot, was assign-
ed to boil me out and rub oil the
"old dry."
I had some fun with Jonsing,
as I call him. He is an inquisitive
tooster and wanted to know my
age. I blushed and swore him to
secrecy and then explained that
I was 217 years old because of
having lived vvtih the Yaqui na-
tives in the Mexican Cordeleras
where the Fountain of Life is lo-
cated, and begged him not to
mention it. He dropped the fiber
mils ami made a ruu for the office
and told the proprietor that he
had a lunatic in there whoclaimed
to be 500 years old. The matter
have feet ou them like a shire
draft horse. If they had souls
they could never go to heaven be-
cause they could not be born
again with those big feet. If they
wore pants tliev would have to
put thern ou over their heads.
They are great kickers. They
kick forward like a catapult. If
one of them was to kick a man in
tne back it would qroduce com-
pound com in itu ted fracture and
permanent curvature of the spine.
They have a couple of crocadiles.
They have cruel mouths as pow-
erful as ore crushers. I desire to
be conservative in speaking of
their beauty andsymmetry of per-
son. There are a lot young ones
in length from a few inches tip,
I litre are musiin placards on the
street cars with the legend: "Os-
triches pi ucked to day". These
were put. on over a year since.
The bathhouses are numerous
and you pav from $4 to $10 for a
course of 21 baths.the water com-
ing direct fiom the hot springs
flowing from tlje mountain upon
which the government hospital
officers residences and other
building are located.
I saw a large number of rheu-
matic patients. Many of them
frightfully distorted. Some of
them had worse curved legs than
Diamond Joe, and like Sil Dixon,
you would have to cut their pan'.s
out with a circular saw to get a
fit, One man was taking baths
a. the Lamar who had some sort
of malady of the face. It made
him so cross-eyed that, when h_
wept, the tears flowed down the
back of his neck.
Happy hollow has some at
tractions, There are some
native wild animals and birds
but the principal attraction, is
the shooting galleries. Bottles
are stuck on frames in rows as
far up the side of the mountain as
you can see, all painted white.
You can choose your distance
and shoot for prizes.
There are thousands of rooms
to rent all over the city. Which
coutains about 18,000 people
except in the season, when there
are three times that number.
Everybody is on the graft and
and ask about thaee times asmuch
as the times is worth.
E. P. M.
The writer lived and voted in
Missouri for nearly 40 years and
he now will try and get a home
in Texas. There is too much
! Ed Butlerism in Missouri and
too many fool Democrats who
don't kno v the difference be-
tween a Democra. and a smooth
despot who is playing the
skilled hand put up for him by
the monarchists. Judge Parker
was a shining saint beside the
subservient tool of the imperul-
ists who is now preparing to
elevate the southern nigger over
the white man.
Roosevelt, despite the rapid
crowding of our country with
aliens, urges consuls to foreign
country to encourage immi-
gration. The lntiepent Ameri-
can mechanic is too intelligent
to be easily handled by the
trust influences and it is proposed
to make him bow his proud head
by shipping in the humble and
servile peasantry of the old cou-
ntry to compete with him, cut
down his wages and compel him
at the point of the bayonet to
stand and look on while his wife
and children starve.

Opportunity for the Afflicted to Re-
ceive l-ree Treatment
Dr. Lewis Mackey, a specialist in
chronic diseases, has Iccaied in Enid
and will make it his home. He has
rented office rooms on the west side of
the square over J. T. Reed's Grocery
■ store. These rooms are exuipped
with lip-to date appliances for the
treatment of chronic or long- standing
diseases and in order to become ac-
quainted rapidly he has made a lib-
eral offer to all suffering- with such
diseases to <reat them absolutely free
of charges for one month, or until
iJecember 7th. charging nothing for a
cure to all commencing a treatment
before that time, b„t the actual cost of
the medicine used in each case. This
medicine he will furnish from his own
private laboratory. Patients who
take treatment of Dr. Mackey need
not be afraid of dealing with a travel-
ing doctor, for he is perueuiently
located here, but with an up-to date
specialist who is a graduate of one of
the leading meetcal colleges of the
United States, and who has had many
vears experience testing chronic dis-
eases. An advertisement elsewhere
in this Usue will acquaint the people
with what I)r. Mackey proposes to do,
and we weuld advise all sick and
suffering to read it carefully, as it is
certainly the most liberal effer ever
given to the afflicted of this city and
surrounding country. His offer com-
mences Monday morning November
7th, and runs until December 7th
After December 7th he will resume hi
usual charges for treating such cases
bee. on tap or bottled. Also Ale and fine^cigars.
