... IT CERTAINLY IS
A%EW DEAL
for Oklahema City in the Piano line that you could send your child down town to
buy a Piano, and know to a certainty that that child would get as good a Piano and
as low a price as the most experienced shopper could get, but these foundation
principles of One Price and No Commissions linked with the very best pianos the
world knows of such as the STEINWAY, the KNABE, the WEBER, the VOSE, the
HARDMAN, the LUDWIG, the SCHAEFFER, the ELBURN, the REGAL, and BAR-
MORE, each representing a distinct and particularly fine, high class article at its
price, has taken all the risk out of Piano buying and made it a pleasure instead of a
nightmare, as many people in Oklahoma City will testify who have bought Pianos
under the "sliding price, get all you can" slippery method of selling Pianos, as
practiced in other stores.
Every month shows a big increase in our business. The following prices on
Pianos tell the story of our success:
The new piano we sell for $125.00 with full metal plate, with hardwood bushed
tuning pins, brass capstan action is the Barmore.
The new Piano we sell for $150.00 is the Werner, largest size, double veneered
case, 7 1-3 Octave, one of their very best pianos.
The new piano we sell for $175.00 is the beautiful, upright Grand Regal, double
veneered case of the latest design, full metal plate, etc.
The new Piano we sell for 8190.00 is the style "O" Elburn.
The new Piano we sell for $210.00 is the style "H" Elburn.
The new Piano we sell for 1245.00 is the new era Schaeffer, their handsome
style No. 7.
The new Piano we sell for $300.00 is the splendid style "R" Ludwig.
The new Piano we sell for $335.00 is the Hardman, style "F", one of the most
thoroughly reliable instruments to be found.
The new Piano we sell for $400 00 is the Weber, their famous style No. I.
The new Piano we sell for $435.00 is the Peerless Knabe, their beautiful new
style "W"in art finished mahogany.
The new Piano we sell for $500.00 is the Steinway Vertegrand.

THE BANKERS
IN SESSION
THREE HUNDRED GUARDIANS
OF FINANCE AT DELMAR
TWO DAYS' SESSION
Good Speeches Delivered—Ball
and Banquet at Delmar
Tonight
The Oklahoma and Indian Territory
Bankers' association met this morning
at Delmar Garden at 10:30. and the
morning exercise* were taken up. All
day yesterday the bunkers began com-
ing to this c(ty, and the Lee hotel was
by this morning crowded with the
most representative bunch of this
branch of the two territories' Indus-
tries that has ever gathered here. The
assembly room, or the general parlors
of the I^ee hotel, was the registration
place, and many new members Joined
this morning. The parlors were filled
with the samples of the various bunk*
ing house material, Including litho-
graphing, etc.
Down In the lobby, where people
were renewing acquaintances and
making new friends, various adding
machines were placed upon exhibi-
tion. Among these were the Burrows
adding machine, made In Detroit,
Mich., represented by the genial H. H.
Hanger. The Hall Lithograph company
of Topeka had one of the parlors, with
an elegant display of banking sup-
plies, while the Standard adding ma-
chine also occupied a prominent place
on the floor. James A. Dorsey, the
president of the Dorsey Printing com-
pany of Dallas, Is beaming on the as-
semblage with hia ever smiling face,
always on th# alnrt for business.
At 10:30 tl)« meeting was called to
order at Delmar Garden by President
II. A. McCandless of Perry, Okla., who
Introduced Rev. W. E. Graham, who
Invoked divine guidance.
Mayor Messenbaugh, who was a
banker In his earlier days, then made
the address of welcome, followed by
the response of Frank Craig, cashier
of the City National bank of South
McAlester, I. T. Mr. Craig made a
very warm address, though short
1. M. Holcomb of the Oklahoma City
National bank of Oklahoma City, then
spoke on "Oklahoma City and Its
Banks." His Bpeech was also short,
and was well received.
Then came the annual address of
President McCaldless, parts of which
we give herewith:
"It Is a great pleasure to meet so
many members of our association at
this, our tenth annual meeting of the
Oklahoma bankers and second annual
meeting of the Oklahoma-Indian Ter-
ritory Bankers' association, and the
honor of presiding over auch a conven-
tion is certainly appreciated by me.
The pleasant feature of these meetings
Is the forming of personal acquain-
tance with its nice a lot of men as were
ever assembled at a convention. Last
year at our meeting In Muskogee one
pf our eastern banker friends on his
first trip to the territory told me he
had been at bankers' conventions in
nearly every state in the Union, and
he was free to admit that 'this con-
vention waa composed of the brightest,
best di-etcied and best looking lot of
men he had ever aeen together.' Our
younger brothers of the Indian Terri-
tory must have been the cause of the
remark, for the old timers of Okla-
homa have had the freshness of their
complexion blown away.
"The past year has been a very suc-
cessful one, a large number of new
banks have started, and not a failure
that has caused a ripple in financial
olroles. Only one other atate has a
better record than ours—South Da-
kota—where not a failure has occurred
during the year. There are now 111
national banks in Oklahoma, with to-
tal resources of 27 millions, and 290
state banks, with total resources of
14 mllilous. Total for, Oklahoma. 41
millions. In the Indian Territory
there are 142 national banks, with to-
tal resources of nearly 27 millions. We
have no means of knowing the number
of private banks In the Indian Ter-
ritory. but Judging from the closeness
of the resources of the national banks
in the two territories, we assume their
resources are about the same as the
state banks in Oklahoma, which would
make a grand total of 80 millions,
making us number 21 among the
states of the Union. When we stop to
consider that ten years ago there were
less than fifty hanks In the territories
the development of such resources is
marvelous. The capital stock of the
national banks of the proposed state
of Oklahoma is nearly as great as that
of Kansas; nearly three times that of
North Dakota; four times that of
South Dakota; twenty-four times that
of Nevada; over seven times that of
Idaho; within 1V4 millions of the com-
bined capital stock of Vermont and
New Hampshire; 60 per cent greater
than that of the two Carollnas; nearly
two millions greater than the com-
bined stock of Nevada, Idaho. Wyom-
ing and Utah; and Is about the same
as North and South Carolina and
North and South Dakota combined.
As nearly 50 per cent of the business
of the country is done on' confidence,
it is certainly gratifying that bankers
stand at the head of all professions
for honesty. It may be selfish, but It
Is to our Interest to help others, for
we succeed by helping all, and It
aeems to me from the ^reat confidence
placed In us, Ihe remark that ex-At-
torney General of the United States
John W. Griggs made to the New
Jersey bankers Is especially appropos:
"I would say that If one were to put
a motto at the door of every banking
house, upon every IstterhPad, on every
blotting pad, in front of every young
man who filled a desk, It .1
this: "Other people's money"—not
yours, but other people's, of which
you are merely the trustoe; which you
can only use as a trustee can use
funds; with which you cannot specu-
late; with which you cannot permit
your friends to speculate; with which
you cannot take risks; with which you
cannot Invest in unsafe, unapproved or
speculative securities; In other words,
that you stand there with the first
duty Impressed upon you to preserve
for those that have trusted you the
funds they have put In your charge;
and all considerations of profit to the
atockholder, of advantage to the cor-
poration, shall be secondary and sub-
ordinate to the performance faithful-
ly. at all times and against all temp-
tations, of that first and highest trust
that Is entailed upon thosq who deal
with "Other People's Money." '
"I want to call the attention of the
association to burglary Insurance.
With our contract with the Ocean we
obtain first class insurance, and the
commissions go to the association, and
the amount is only limited by the
amount of Insurance you give them.
Write our secretary and he will send
you blanks and rates. We also have
a contract with the Columbia Bond
and Trust company for bauds at a less
rate than any outside company will
give us. and have a 20 per cent com-
mission which goes to the association.
Now that we are so large I believe
we could make a contract on clean-
ing time locks that would be of great
benefit In my home state of Iowa
the association has tried this success-
fully, getting time locks cleaned and
guaranteed by a bonded expert for
$S each per year; $5 to the expert and
f 1 to the association. Tou can see what
a benefit this would be. not only to the
individual member but to the asso-
ciation. Now that we are soon to be
a state, one of the most important
laws we should recommend is the uni-
form negotiable Instrument law.
Twenty-nine states have already
adopted It, and it hi sure to be adopted
by all states and territories. For the
Information of the Oklahoma mem-
bers who may not be posted on the
way our ceurts hold on negotiable In-
struments, I have the late ruling of our
supreme court and it may be of use
to our brothers In the Indian Terri-
tory. By section 3284 of the statutes
of Oklahoma, 1193, a negotiable In-
strument Is defined as follows; 'A ne-
gotiable instrument must be made pay-
able In money, only, and without any
condition not certain of fulfillment.'
NiMrttMI 32«9 provides that: 'A
negotiable Instrument must not con-
tain any other oontraot than suoh as
specified in this article.'
"The court in this opinion defines
a negotiable instrument as follows: *A
negotiable Instrument is one that in
simple, certain and unconditional, and
Is so defined by the law merchant It
has always been held, both at the
common law and by the decisions of
most states, that any lnstcumei^ which
does not come within this definition
should not be construed to be a nego-
tiable instrument.' "
The report of the secretary and
treasurer were then heard and the
meeting adjourned until 2 o'clock this
afternoon.
Tonight there will be a banquet and
ball at Delmar Garden, and the pavil-
ion is being fixed for It at the pres-
ent time.
COMMENTS ON
INDICTMENTS
Many are the comenti on the posi-
tion of the grand Jury in the matter of
the Indictments of the former council-
men on the matter of the so-called
misappropriation of city funds. It Is
not putting it too strongly to say that
indignation Is at full mast today and
no mlstage about it—it la simply boil-
ing over. All day yesterday people
gathered In groups and voiced their
sentiments.
D. C. Lewis, well known In. this city
by everybody, was hot under the col-
lar when asked about It. "I think It
Is an Infernal outrage," he said, "to
Indict some of the best citizens of the
town for an offense never committed.
We are now getting the benefit of the
moneys spent going to the world's fair,
to Washington to look after the Inter-
est of this city when the statehood
fight was on, and also returns a thou-
sand fold for the money spent enter-
taining the National Editorial associa-
tion. I trust that the county attor-
ney will have the courage to go be-
fore the court and nolle every one of
the cases. It is but right."
G. A. Paul, city attorney: "This Is
but a trifle short of a crime. I do
not look for anything to come of this
matter, and think that no Jury in the
world would convict."
w. C. Hughes: "This Indictment,
under the statutes, is not worth the
paper It is written upon. The law in
the first place calls for a person, a
member of the city council, who shall
misappropriate moneys, and In one of
these cases the ex-mayor is not a
member of the city council. I do not
think there Is a legal foot for the In-
dictments to stand on. In the case
sf this sort, information may come
to ths county attorney, who shall in-
form the court of such information,
and the court may order the grand
Jury to turn such Information Into a
substantial charge. As I take it, this
has not been done by the court"
EL J. Glddings: "Every attorney
ought to volunteer his services for the
defense of these men. . This proposi-
tion Is but a trifle short of Idiotic, and
not at all short of criminal."
Other men have given vent to ex-
pressions mora forcible, and some that
would not look well In print. It Is to
be hoped that something may be done
to remove this stigma from the city.
A Chicago Visitor.
C. C. Adams of Chicago was in the
olty last night He is connected with
a banking institution of that city and
was here looking over the country.
He made a number of complimentary
remarks about Oklahoma City and Ok-
lahoma.

ueXmmnq to be hangman
Incumbent Km Gkewaom*
^ehtarsals of His T/nea-
riabls Profession.
•locutions took place recent-
ly at PeotomrMIe prtsoa on tbe scaf-
fold which has been the scene of ths
Anil silt ef numerous notorious crim-
inals, relates London Mall
The executioner was Alec Taylor,
tks newly appointed com mo a hangman,
and ths subjects "hanged" in set form
were lay flgures of cloth and sand.
It 1s, of course, ssaential th- l the
official that kas to carry out the last
dread ssntencs of tbe law should first
thoroughly learn the technique of hit
grewsorae profession to Insure that
when the time comes all ths opera-
tions will happen decently sod in or-
dsr. Therefore each new hangman
immediately after his appointment
goea through a reallstio course of
trsinlng. In pursuance of this policy.
Taylor, under tho guidance of ex-
perienced prison officials who have as-
sisted at many executions, Is now serv-
ing bis apprenticeship.
Several sandbags shaped to rspre-
sent men of different weights wers
supplied for Taylor's practice He was
Instructed that men of varying builds
should be given certain prescribed
drops" to effect instantaneous death.
Then a sandbag made to the rough
■ambiance and weight of a man was
placed on ths scaffold flap Taylor
was told ths weight, tbe noose was
properly adjusted, the requisite drop
arranged for and ths lever pulled-
This experiment was performed again
and again with differently weighted
bags.
Ths other part of the hangium's
training, tbe pinioning ef n con
demned prisoner, was even more real-
istic. For ths time being stalwart
warders posed as condemned murder-
ers. Taylor, practicing on them, was
shown ths quickest and most effective
way of securing the hands and feet.
DEALING IN CIGAR BANDS.
Tobacconists Have Quite a Call for
Them as Result of
a Fad.
"I want a package of cigar bands,"
■aid a brtght-fkced hoy about 12 years
old, as he stepped up to tbe counter
fa a tobacco shop.
"Ten or 26 cents " asked the pro
prletor.
"Ten," returned the boy, as ha flung
down his dime, took his purchase and
rushed out
"Yes> I do quite a business In cigar
bands." said the tobacconist, according
to ths Chicago Intsr Ocean. "It la
quite a fad among children to get
bands and paste them on glass platsa
aad bowls. I sell sbout ss many pack-
ages of band^ as I do of cigarettes,
and there is more profit in it. The
youngsters do a thriving business
along ths llns of barter and trade.
They take ths bands to school and
awap duplicates with their school
mates. A rare band commands a high
premium and frequently la worth half
a dozen of the more common varieties.
The youngsters keep on tbe alert for
bands, too. and they are after every
one that comes from the cigara of
their fathers and uncles and big
brothers.
"In some reepects ths new fad Is
not a bad thing for the cigar trade.
The bands have been a dead loss to
tobacconists, who In the end have to
pay for them. They are made In Ger-
many. at least all the fancy varieties,
and they add a little to the cost of
each cigar. Trifling as it may be. the
sum In the aggregate would enabls
any of us to keep steam yachts and
automobiles. By selling the bands at
the rate of 25 for ten cents, tire cigar
manufacturers are able to get back
some of the outlay that has been a
dead loss to them."
Historio Vermont Town.
Bennington is the most peculiarly
Interesting of all Vermont towns on
account of Its historical associations
as well as Its pictorial besuty. It Is
situated In the extreme southwestern
portion of tbe beautiful state whose
name, derived from two words, sig-
nifies "green" and "mountain." It
waa here that the pride-swollen Bur-
goyne cast a covetous eye on the sup-
piles and stores gathered from the
fertile prolific fields, and to secure
which for his hungry mercenaries he
sent out on army early in August
1777, under Col. Baum, composed
chiefly of Germans with a scattering
of British.—From "The Charm of His-
toric Bennington," by G. Marion Bur-
ton, In Four-Track News.
"Admiral" Not English.
The word "admiral" Is not of Eng-
lish origin, but is from the Arabic
"Emll el Bagh," or Ix>rd of the Sea.
Captain comes from the Latin caput,
but mate Is from Icelandic, which
meaus a companion or equsl. Cox-
swain was originally the man who
pulled the left oar In the captain'a
boat, which was known as the cock-
boat. Tbis in turn is a corruption of
the word coracle, a small round boat
used on the Wye and Usk rivers. So
coxswain comes to us from the Welsh.

BOLD CHARGES
OF FRAUD
New York Representative Stirs
up Sensation
Washington, May 21—Some addi-
tional side light waa thrown on insur-
ance methods In Now York to'day by
Representative James A. Goulden, of
that state, before the house com-
mittee on the judiciary considering
the Ames bill for the regulation of
insurance In the District of Colum-
bia. Mr. Goulden is general agent
of the Penn Mutual Life Insuranco
Company In New York.
"Why," he said, "it was a well con-
ceded fact that to be a senator at Al-
bany was worth anywhere from $50,-
000 to $100,000 a year and that the
money came largely from insurance
companies. This Is no secret. Every
Insurance man knows it I know IL
1 know it well."
Touching on the subject cam-
paign contribution. Mr. Goden said
that his company had been coerced
Into giving ilO.OOO to a national cam-
paign committee in 1896. He did not
say which campaign committee re-
ceived the money, but remarked that
the same thing waa tried in 1900 and
1904, but without success, owing to
the firm stand taken by Mr. Plimp-
ton, of Massachusetts, one of the di-
rectors, who declared that every di-
rector who voted for such contribu-
tions would be held personally liable
for the amount.
The hearings on the Ames bill clos-
ed with the testimony of Mr. Goulden.
