Claremore. Feb. 1 j.
issue of The Messen-
ger our connection with the
paper ceases. \W have solil our
plant and t'aper to Mr. II. I)
UoutKonir. an old anil tried news-
paper man. and one who will, we
feel assured. *rivo to the public a
pood clean paper. Wo desire to
express onr sincere thanks to
those who have so liberally sup-
ported us during our connection
with the Messenger, and we
recommend our successor to a
like kindly consideration on their
part. All subscriptions will be
paid to Mr. Koutzoug and all ac
couuts for advertising: and job
work up to this date will be paid
to us. and we ask for an early
settlement of same.
Very respectfully,

The "lessenKer and Myself
Yes. "the Messenger has
changed hands again" and I am
the purchaser. 1 bought the
paper us a business proposition
and propose to conduct it a!« ng
business lines. I expect to make
money out of it; that's what I
bought it for. There is a fair
Held in Claremore for two good
newspapers, ami the Messenger
will be one of them. There is
business here for two papers and
the Messenger is goingafler and
will get and merit its full share.
A residence of over three
years iu the Cherokee Nation has
enabled mo to forsee some of the
Uiany gixxl things in store for
this country, ami with the inten-
tion of reaping a few of the ben
hHIs which come to those who
do things. I am here. A careful
survey of the entire Indian Ter-
ritory has convinced me that
Claremore is the hub of the
Cherokee Nation and I hope in
time to make the Messenger one
of the main sjiokes in the wheel.
Clarinore has everj nd vantage
enjoyed by. any town in the Na-
tion, und some ltd vantages pe-
culiarly her own. The town has
coal, oil. gas. good water and lots
of it, and is surrounded by as
good agricultural and horticul-
tural lands as can be found on
earth; best of all the town has
a fine public school, several
churches and a good class of cit
izens and wants more of them.
These are my reasons for be-
coming a resident of Claremore.
The Messenger is a Republi-
can newspaper and will remain
one, but accords to others all
the rights and privileges it
claims for itself. It will bo con-
servative, honest and fearless,
and when the proper time comes
will be aggressively Republican.
At present and for some time to
come there will be little need of
injecting partisan matters into
the columns of the paper.
The Messenger stands pat for
single statehood, that is. that one
state should be made of Indian
Territory and Oklahoma, pro-
vided. always, that we are placed
upon an equal footing with Okla-
homa.
I trust that all the friends and
patrons of the Messenger will
remain its friends and patrons.
There is not otic to spare and I
want to double the number. I
want two names on the subscrip-
tion books where there is. but
one now, and intend to get them
there. Especially will I appre-
ciate a visit from each and every
resident of the town and com-
munity. I do not know you
now but I intend to. Come in.
tell me who you are, take a chair,
put your feet on the desk, spit
ou the stove, and let's get ac-
quainted. Cordially yours.

MAKCIS A. HANNA
There ha* never appeared upon the
western continent a more i-emarkAtite
man than Ma reus A. Hanna, and at
the announcement of hit death Mon-
day evening the entire nation received
the news with Pennine sorrow. He
was remarkable in many way*. The
early year* of his life wei-e devoted to
commercial pursuits, and prior lo the
campaign of lWHi he wat scarcely
known in polities. He was a man of
the strongest type. His mental yiasp
of thinjjs practical was phenomenal
Kit.in polities' came to him be-
cause he entered the political arena
for purely business reasons and
hroiijfhl into play his marvelous pow-
ers 1 if organization. His equal as a
politician has never yet appeared.
(lifted null an unusually magnetic
\
|tersonality, his popularity was in-
stant and permanent. He command-
ed res|n*ct and won tlx- admiration of
even his bitterest political opponents.
None could meet Hanna and /ail to
love him. I'ersonal contact with him
banished enmity. Simple, direct, sin*
cere, honest, above every form of de-
ceit. fearless, ganerous and magnani-
mous. he embodied every attribute
which co'nimatiiis aiid^hobl*' the affec-
tion of the American |M-ople.
Statehood will in'all probabil-
ity come to the Territory jointly
with Oklahoma, March 4. l! 0 i. at
which time the Five Civilized
Tribes, as organised govern-
ments will cease to exist. The
ijiiay bill now before congress
will, with slight amendments,
doubtless pass the lower house
this session, bo taken up and
passed by the senate at the short
term, and by presidential procla
mation become operative March
4. 1901')
Kansans are the most intense
people ujkhi the face of the
earth. There is no half-way
ground with Kansas. The state
lias moral spasms, |tolitical
spasms, tem peranee spasms, and
all other kinds of spasms. She
passes from one spasm to
another without warning and so
sudden is the transition that
there is no intermission, no be-
tween times. Just now it is an
ami-machine spasin. and without
questioning him upon oilier and
more important matters the Re-
publican party boomed Ed W.
Hoch, of Marion, for governor
simply because of his pronounced
anti machine sentiments, and
now when they have practically
landed him, they learn with con-
sternation that he is a radical
woman suffragist and a rabid
prohibitionist as well.
^ A Column of Comments |
************ **** * * * * * * * **,*
Kd Butler. Missouri's all but
convicted bribe-giver and ac-
knowledged Democratic oracle,
escaped actual legal conviction
and is back at the old stand
doing business in the same old
way. No state in tho Union is
today so boss-ridden, or it's
Democracy so polluted as Mis
souri. The state has been jmlit-
ically ravished, her treasury de-
spoiled. her people outraged,
decency disregarded and all law
defied. In the face of these
tilings Ed llutler is the accepted
mouth piece of Missouri Democ-
racy, or that part of it which is
in control.
Men aad money have been
freely tendered Japan by all
nations, Germany and France
excepted, all of which the plucky
little nation kindly but tirmly
declines, saying she feels abuncl
autly able to cope with and van
quish her gigantic adversary.
Indian IVrritory at the groat
ILouisiana Purchase exposition
will astound the civilized world
by her exhibits, the indisputable
evidence of her remarkable prog-
ress under the most trying and
discouraging difficulties The
credit for this magnificent show
ing is largely due to Commis-
sioner F. C. Hubbard who has
more than auy other man made
the Territory's prominence at
the fX|H>sition |H>ssible.
The nations of the civilized
world cannot but admire the
stand taken by Japan iu her war
with Russia. The plucky little
nation may pnqierly date her
awakening ten years back, at the
close of her war with China,
since which lime' lie'r develop-
inent has been truly marvelous,
till today she wttgesa vnragainst
one nl the most powerful nations
oi thoitttrUi wmIi gratifying pro*
poets of victory.
It can be taken as a settled
fact that tlieouiy form of state-1
hood which will or can come to
Indian Territory is single slate
IiixmI jointly with Oklahoma, at !
the same time and upon the
same terms. Neither territory
is large enough of itself to form j
a state. The cost of maintaining
a state government is nearly as
great for a small as for a large
slate, in fact is greater, area con-
sidered. Then. too. at the pres-
ent time the majority of both
congressmen and senators be
long east of the Mississippi river
and gre-uly fear the power of
the west, regardless of party,
and will not at this, nor auy fu-
ture time grant tin* new west j
two senators when one can be
made to answer the same pur-
pose.
The Claremore Roosevelt Re- 1
publican Club at its meeting held
in this town on Saturday last,
passed strong resolutions favor- j
ing I'. L. Soper as National Com-
mitteeman and \Y. H. Darrough
as delegate from Cherokee Na-1
lion, thus standing by the best
material we have for these'
offices. The Club also recom-
mended to the Republicans of j
the Cherokee Nation William
Johnstone, of Bartlesville, as al-
termite, and iu doing so they
have spoken for a man who has |
the confidence ami respect of all
classes. Mr. Johnstone is an
able man, a representative cit- j
izen of the Cherokee Nation and
one who has in the )Mtst tilled im-
portant offices with great credit, '
antl we hope lie may receive the
support of the Republicans of
tlic Nation
The officials of the Frisco spent
four hours in Sapulpa last week, and
the citizens of that town showed them
a irood time. They wore driven in
carriages all about the town, and at
the conclusion of the drive were ban-
queted and royally entertained.
That is the kind of spirit and enter-
prise which builds towns.

About 2 o'clock last Tuesday morn-
ing the KHnk of Commerce, of Ard-
more was broken into and robbed by
three men. The safe was blown up
with nitroglycerine and about *2.1100
taken. The explosion awakened many
of the citizens and some who hurried
to the scene were held up by the robl
bers with armed Winchesters. Al-
three men escaped, troini; east.

Miami has a mineral well and the

A company is drilling for oil. iras.
or anything else whieh may l>e lielow
the town of Pryor Creek. There can
tie little doubt of finding either oil or
Kas and maybe both, if the drill is
sunk deep enough. Pryor < reek is in
the oil and gas belt as is Claremore,
and it is only necessary to j>o afW it
to get both.
t t t
Hroken Arrow is now shipping coal,
and. not yet satisfied, will drill for oil
and gas.
t t t
The railroads object to the opening
of the wagon roads on section lines as
ordered done by the interior depart-
ment. Their objection is based upon
the fact that it wotdd cause the roads
to put iu many crossings at a consid-
erable outlay.
t t t
Tulsa has another oil well, brought
iu last week. It is a gusher and when
lirst shot the oil spouted 100 feet high.
This makes two oil wells for Tulsa,

A Fort Smith firm is contracting for
cotton to be delivered next fall and is

many planters are contracting but

The Tulsa Democrat carries more
local advertising than any other Ter-
ritory paper which coines to this
office. Tulsa must Is-a live town.
