Mrs. Jennie Berbert, of Kansas City,
is visiting her brother J. W Beck
and family. Mr. Beck is seriously
sick and his sister will remain and
help care for him until there is a
change for the better, which we hope
will not be long.
The t/ial of Alle Messer and Jesse
Hedge has been continued until the
6th of December. They were arrest-
ed for the theft of a pair of pants,
taken from Harry Bros, store. They
gave bond of $100 each.
Everybody seemed to enjoy them-
selves in Ralston Thanksgiving Day.
Some worked all day; others went
hunting, while those religiously in-
clined, attended church. The festal
board was laden with good things to
eat, and for a time the financial dis-
turbances of our country were for-
gotten.
H. E. Thompson and Harry Mabes
built a temporary warehouse this
week in which to store what few
things saved from the recent fire of
the Racket store. It seems the build-
ing was not put up any too soon, as
Mr. Thompson informs us that dam-
aged lleur, gasoline and other things
were carried away and made use of.

1 THE
Ralston Bank.
RALSTON, OKLAHOMA.
Farmers, Merchants and Individuals. We want
your business. We are liberal, progressive and
conservative. Our time is yours if you want it.
We pay special attention to the
interest of our patrons.
Diamond Barber Shop,
INGKAHAM & HENKEL, Proprietors
Everything neat and clean and the very best toilets
monev will buy always on hand. Also agentsi for first-
class laundry. Basket leaves Wednesday and returns
Fridays. Your patronage solicited.
States commissioner to assist in the
suppression of this crime. We have
the law, why not enforce iv?
After December first the wages of
section men on the Santa Fe system
are to be reduced to $115 a day,
and we understand the force will be
cut down one-half. This meatis poor
service and numerous wrecks. Track-
men, as a rule, earn more m ney than
they ever get.
We often wonder when hear people
abusing the federal government and
federal officers generally, whether or
not they would assist in preserving
our union if invaded by a foreign foe.
We have scads of this kind of people
in Oklahoma, and we are inclined to
believe the whole gang would go over
to the enemy and fight us to a finish.
VIOLATION OF LAW.
We learn from parties from here
who were at Pawhuska this week at-
tending Indian payment, that whiskey
is being sold in that town openly in
defiance of law. and that it is no un-
common sight to see drunken Indians ncr'
on the streets of that town. Only last
Monday a man by the name of Fra-
/.ier, who was under the influence of
liquor, was killed by the city marshal
of that town.
It docs look like the prohibition law
A Good Liniment
When you need a good reliable lini-
ment try Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
It has no superior for sprains and
swellings. A piece sf flannel slightly
dampened with Pain Balm is superior
to a plaster for lame back or pains in
the side or chest. It also relieves rheu
matic pains and makes sleep and rest
possible. For sale by T MCannon
The democratic press never loses
an opportunity of accusing the repub-
lican party with "graft." We hope
when the county printing is let to the
lowest bidder, as it should be, there
will be no cause to censure any one
with "graft."
Editor Crum states this week that
"Bryan has surely been reading the
Free Press." Now, we always knew
that there was something the matter
with William and that his case was a
serious one, but we never knew be-
fore just what kind* of medicine he
was taking. He has our sympathy.
Baked chicken with gravy on the
side, cranberry sauce, mashed "pota-
toes, cake, pie and as good bread as
you every flopped your lip over, were
among the luxuries our good wife had
prepared for our Thanksgiving din-
Our appetite was reasonably
Winter's
Coining.
You know what
that means to
you. Don't you
want to escape
the snow, the
cold, the slush—•
all the discom-
forts?
Why not plan now
where to pass that
season so trying to
to many persons?
Will Increase Subscription Price
The cost of print paper has advanc-
ed enormously within tne last twelve
months. So great is the increase that
in the case of. some of the big city
dailies the advance means an addi-
tional cost of from $200,000 to $400,000
a year.
All over the country, newspapers
are being compelled to increase their
subscription rates or go out of busi-
ness.
The Daily Oklahoman has just an-
nounced that it will be forced to in-
crease its subscription price to $5 per
year instead of $4, although this will
not take effect until January 1st, and
any new or old subscribers who send
in their subscriptions now will be al-
lowed to secure one year more at the
$4 rate. This will take the place ol
The Oklahoman's regular Christmas
offer, as on and after January 1st the
price will be $5 to everybody.
Value of Minute*.
I know once a very eovetous, sordid
fellow, who used frequently to say,
•Take care of the pence, for the
pounds will take care of themselves."
This was a Just and sensible reflection
In a miser. I recommend to you to
take care of the minutes; for hours
will take care of themselves. I am
very sure that many people lose two
or three hours every day by not tak-
ing care of the minutes. Never think
any portion of time., whatsoever, too
short to be employed; something or
other may always be done in it.—
