HON. C. PORTER JOHNSON'S
CONVERSION
In the days gone by, when ihe
Democratic hosts of Oklahoma were
wont to gather, feed and frolic the
king-be of the occasion, the orator
extraordinary and spell binder plen-
ipotentiary was the Hon. C. Porter
Johnson of Oklahoma City, the "Clar-
ion Voice of Democracy" and several
other such th'ings, according to the
vocabulary of the master of cere-
monies Introducing him. Last Sat-
urday night the Hon. C. Porter at-
tended a reception at the Planters
Hotel in St. Louis where for the past
year he has made his homo, and
defendant for $1,000. This case was
brought by Jones to recover for In-
juries to his wife received in a run-
away. A team driven by Jones be-
came frightened at an automobile
which it is alleged Stepp was run-
ning at an unlawful rate of speed.
The case aroused a great deal of lo-
cal interest and was hotly contested.

THE WOMAN IN' BLACK
it Demand for Souvcnl
Shown at American Office.
Who Arc We?
What Kind of Pianos
Are We Selling?
The veil of the woman in black on
exhibition at The American office
Saturday and Sunday drew hundreds
of curious visiltors and this office has
since been requested by many people
to furnish them souvenirs of the veil.
While we should like, If possible, to
accommodate the interested public,
yet in this case we can not and will
not in the future give any parts of
this veil for souvenirs. One import-
during the course of the evening he ant reason for this is the fact thai
was called on for a rip snorting Dem- this veil may serve as an important
ocratlc harangue. Imagine t>he sur- clew in detecting this woman in the
prise of the unwashed and unrecon-
structed when he delivered himself
as follows:
"I was reared a Democrat and
have always affiliated with that party,
I am now 4 5 years of age, I have
seen the great party leaders give
way before a grafter in one state, a
gambler in another, a gas represen-
tative In Illinois, a prohibitionist in
Missouri, and a d—n fool tin Arkan-
sas. The Democratic party today is
the party of one man. It is thorough-
ly saturated with Populism and other
Isms, and is drifting on a sea of un-
certainty.
"Under the administration of
strong men we have seen the country
rise out of the throes of a civil war
to take its place among the foremost
nations of the earth. And I say to
you now 'that I will support the Re-
publican nominee for president, if it
be Uncle Joe Cannon of Illinois,
whom I love; Gov. Oharles E. Hughes
of New York, whom I admire, or any
other candidate, with the possible
exception of Mr. Taft, and I may
support him."
The Hon. C. Porter has many ac-
quaintances, admirers and friends in
this Btate and his conversion to the
cause of right and justice will prove
the political sensatilon of the day.—

Also we would kindly remind the
publ'ic that we are not in the detec-
tive business and Investigations car-
ried on thus far have been made to
satisfy our own curiosity. We have
received frequent calls from fright-
ened women asking us to come to
their neighborhood and assist in cap-
tuning the woman in 'black. When-
ever possible we will gladly do so,
but as this woman appears in a dozen
different places in one evening, It is
manifestly impossible for us to ans-
wer all calls.
A plaintive appeal comes to this
office from south Hoff avenue. A
lady resident of that, neighborhood
says there is a certain young woman
whom she knows is jealous of her
and desperate enough to attack her.
In appealing to The American for aid
she says she was chased for two
blocks by the woman in black and
was wholly exhausted when she got
to her home. Her story that the wo-
man is hired by a rival to pursue her
does uot seem plausible in face of
the fact that the same woman in
black also followed a couple last ev-
ening on north Rock Island. These
people shamefully admitted this
morniing that they set a good pace
for two blocks when they ran across
another person and started after
their trailer. But as has always hap-
pened, she wasn't there, and then
they were sorry they hadu'.t faced
her In the first place.
The theory advanced this morning
by an authority on the subject is that
the woman In black hypnotizes her
subjects within a certain radius. This
it is declared 'is possible, and in all
cases reiiorted thus far, it seems no
one has been able to face the woman
in 'black or pursue her until she was
a certain distance away. If this
weird woman possesses mesmeric
powers her hairbreadth escapes and
agility in disappearing are partially
explained.
W. C.T.I'. Met With Mr*. Crocker
We want the people of El Reno to
know us better, so at the risk of be-
ing immodest we will tell you. The
"Frederickson-Kroh Music Company"
is an Oklahoma concern and an Ok-
lahoma booster. We have property
1n the state valued at $75,000 and
we refer to our rating with consid-
erable pride.
Our guarantee is on every piano we
sell.
Now about our pianos, we handle
such distinguished makes as Kim-
ball, Everett, Knabe, Harvard, Hal-
let & Davis, Durfbar, Whitney, Mc-
Phail, Edison and others, and these
pianos are sold and guaranteed by
the largest music houses in the Un-
i>f Veil jted States.
In El Reno we have sold in the
past nine years scores of fine pianos
including the following well known
people, whose names we happen to
recall just now: Kimball Pipe Or-
gan at First Presbyterian church,
Hallet & Davis piano to R. E. Run-
kle, Kimball piano to J. P. Mathews,
Kimball piano to Earl Beebe, Kim-
ball piano to Julia March, Kimball
piano to Mrs. Clyde Musgrove, Har-
vard piano to Mr. Guion, Hallet &
Davis to R. E. Rice, Kimball to J. M.
Speece, Kimball piano to W. D. Le-
mear, Hallet & Davis to A. H. Stur-
divant.
Ask these people how their pianos
please them or call at our salesroom
and we Willi furnish the names of
over 6,000 (six thousand) friendly,
satisfied customers in the new state.
These names include two ex-Gover-
nors, over three hundred music tea-
chers, thirteen theatres, over eighty
lodges (including a $20,000 pipe or-
gan in the Scottish Rite Masonic
Temple at South McAlester). We
have sold pianos to every college in
the state of any importance, with
possibly one exception. We did over
a quarter of a million dollars worth
of business last year. We have given
every one a square deal and now
have besides our retail business over
40 'dealers in Kansas and Oklahoma
who buy all their pianos through us.
We shall either put a good, live deal-
er in El Reno( one who will conduct
a first-class music store, or we shall
start a branch store of our own. If
anyone wishes more information to
satisfy themselves that we are worthy
of their patronage, we believe we can
furnish it.
The sale we have on here now is
a genutine offering of High Grade
Pianos, which were ordered here by
a dealer who intended to locate here
but who could not do so on account
of misfortune. We are trying to get
our cost out of the stock quickly and
with as little expense as possible.
And it will pay anyone who wants
piano to take advantage of this op-
portunity.

WHEAT JUMPS 2C.
Chicago, April 21.—Lim'ited offer-
ings for May wheat caused the price
of that option to advance more than
two cents in the local market today.
Part of the gain was lost on realiz-
ing sales, the close showing a net
advance for the day of 1 1-8 to 1 1-4
cent. Corn was up 3-4 to 7-8. Oats
were 1-8 cent higher. Provisions
were 2 1-2 to 5c lower.

Cotton.
New York, April 21.—While the
cotton market made a new low re-
cord today sentiment after the first
hour of the session underwent a de-
cided change for the better.
Opening prices here were weak,
showing a decline of 7 to 12 points
from the previous close. 'May got
down to $8.46, July $8.62, October,
$8.61 and December $8.63.
The weather is becoming a serious
question, and a continuance of the
heavy rainfall in Texas and over
other sections of the cotton belt is
liable to reverse this market any
time from a bear to a genuine bull
market.
Secretary Hester's world's visible
statement showed 4.007,219 vs. 4,-
169,084 last week of which 2,883,-
342 was American against 960,213
last week. The New Orleans market
was closed on account of an election.

Governor Haskell's request, after the
attorney general had held that ad-
vertisements of liquor for interstate
shipment were not in violation of
the constitution. It is claimed, how-
ever, that many of the advertise-
ments in the outside papers circu-
lated in the state can not be so con-
strued. The constitution provides a
penalty for any one "who shall with-
in this state advertise for sale or so-
licit the purchase of any such
liquors."
Attorney General Wes1 stated that
if these suits were successful Col-
