Dr. Jas. B. Watson—Orator
Humorist.
Dr. J. B. Watson, the last number
of the lecture course will be at the
Opera House, April 25, 1907. The
inimitable Watson Is a^gifted orator
and humorist. His talks are the em-
bodiment of truth, culture, eloquence,
wit, wisdom and pathos. When lec-
turing to an audience he catches
their favor, steals Into ttielr graces,
retains their attention and carries
away their richest blessing. He was
born in the old^Quaker community of
Pickerington, Canada; has been
wide traveler both in foreign and
home lands. His wonderful dramatic
power enables him to accurately im-
personate the various characters in-
troduced in his lectures, reproducing
the native dialect in a humorous in-
structive way. His thorough-going
education and his wide experience in
travel have given him a cosmopolitan
spirit, but have not chilled his warm
hearted Quaker nature. While in-
structing and entertaining, be also
♦rets the hearts of his audience and
makes each individual feel immediate-
ly his lofty purpose and high ideal in
delivering a message which tells for
culture and character building. His
oratorical power was splendidly mani
fested In his Decoration Day address
at the tabernacle in Canton, Ohio,
where, in his closing peroration, he
paid an eloquent tribute to the mem-
ory of the martyred President, Mc
Kinley, with such effect that the en-
tire audience of five thousand people
arose to their feet in a spontaneous
out burst of applause, expressing
their tribute to the power of a great
orator.
GOOD JUDGMENT
Is the essential character of men and
women. Invaluable to good business
men and necessary to housewives.
A woman shows good Judgment
when she buys White's Cream Verml-
toge for her baby. The best worm
medicine ever offered to mothers
Many Indeed indeed are the sensible
mothers, who write expressing their
gratitude for the health of their
children, which they owe ta the use
of White's Cream Vermifuge Opera

Mr. Taylor wan born in Murphy,
Clierokee county. North Carolina,
forty-six years ag*, and Is one-eighth
Cherokee. He moved with the North
Carolina Indian* to the Cherokee
Nation, Indian Territory, and lias
made Claremore his home for twenty-
seven years, twenty of which lie has
resided oil Ills farm near the edge of
town.
lie was admitted to pratlce law lw
fore Judge l*arker or iliu Western
District of Arkansas in Ikuo and the
same year was admitted to practice
in the Indian Territory. For ten
years he has served as United States
Commissioner before Judge Parker
of the I'nited States Court at Fort

dent of the United States.
On the 7th of February, 1U07, John

Of Claremore, Rogers Co., candidate
for nomination for Congress on the

gressional district of Oklahoma.
the laws of the Cherokee Nation, so
as to get his minor child 011 the im-
provements held by his wife, that
some other citizen should not take
away these valuable improvements
which Mr. Taylor had made witli his
own hands, under past rulings made
by Secretary Hitchcock and who later
robbed every intermarried citizen
without recourse.
Through the honesty and friend-
ship existing between President Roose-
velt and John M. Taylor, Jr., he
under telegrams sent him closed the
land office at Muskogee until the fifth
day of March, 1907.
Mr. Taylor was elected at a mass
meeting of intermarried citizens,
held in Muskogee, to go to Washing-
ton and present to the president of
the United states a memorial asking
that some relief be given said citizens
through congress. Duly appointed
and commissioned Mr. Taylor proceed-
ed to the national capital and was
admitted to a personal interview with
the president. Assistance was ren-
dered Mr. Taylor by no less person-
ages than Theodore Roosevelt and
Commissioner Leupp, and in five days
from the time he landed in Washing-
ton, he had the recent law passed
which gives the intermarried citi-
zens sixty days to dispose of their
improvements and also a vender's lien
on the same until paid for. As an
evidence of Mr. Taylor's work in be-
half of the intermarried citizens, the
president mailed to him at Clare-
more, the pen with which he signed
the white man's law.
Mr. Taylor is a member of the Scot-
tish Rite Masons of the 32d degree;
also of the Mystic Shrine, at Okla-
homa Olty, and of the Blue Lodge
A. F. Sc A. M., No. 63, at Claremore.
He is a member of the Red Men
and Modern Woodmen of America
as well as the Woodmen of the World
and has always been an industrious
worker as a member of the above
mentioned orders
He does not refer to what he will do
In Congress, bat he has a record of
doing things even in that body, and
there is no room for debate upon his
ability to do more good in that body
should he become a member, than
he has ever accomplished before, and
The Messenger commends htm to the
voters of the republican party.
Oeorge Ooldtn Shoots Mothsr-ia
Law, aad U Silled Resisting
Arrest
Claremore wa* startled by a regu
lar killing Krape Wednesday, the
llrst for many, many month*. The
victims are Mrs. Kate Sangster and
George Golden, Iter son-in-law.
No one knows all of the trouble
which led up to this atrocious crime,
hut It seeuiN there lias been truu ble
between Mrs. gangster, or Paris, as
she is bettor knowu III Claremore,
and Golden, for some lime.
She took Gulden's coat for a dol-
lar lie owed for tioard, and lie became
angry. She ordered him from the
house, which was the Star restaurant
on Third street, near Catalyah Ave-
nue, threatening him with a butcher
knife. He lucked as far as the
door and then put Ills hand behind
him, and she dared him to shoot.
He drew a gun and tired one shot,
lilt ting her in the neck and killing
her aiwost Instantly. He then ran
out, and a crowd began to gather
United States I)eputy Marshal
Higgins and III Thompson, Chief of
Frisco detectives and former mar-
shal, were across the street near Fe-
land's store at the time. They ran
across and Marshal John Leach came
from the east abaut the same time.
Golden had not made any attempt
to get away, but was waiting at the
intersection of tiie streets near Pat-
terson's cafe. Higgins ordered him
to throw down his gun, but lie paid no
attention. When Leach came upon
the scene and started toward him
with some remark, he said, "You for
one" and opened tire 011 him at not
over twenty feet distance. Leach
drew his gun and tired simultaneous-
ly witli Gulden's second shot. In the
meantime Higgins and Thompson
opened tire from the west side of
him, and Leach ducked behind a
pile of brick on the east side of the
street keeping up his tire. Golden
was hit once in the hip, but went
south a few steps and stood at bay,
concentrating his attention on Leach
and exchanging shots until a bullet
took him in the head and lie fell over.
The shooting occurred about 11
o'clock in the forenoon, and while
he did not tiecome conscious after-
ward, it was two hours or nearly
so, before death came.
Both were buried Thursday after-
noon in the Claremore cemetery—Mrs.
Sangster was burled at 4 o,clock, and
Golden at 5.
While a great number were on the
streets and saw the fracas, but few
agree on the minor points. Some
say Leach hit his man the first shot
and that Thompson finished him
with a shot in tiie head, some think
Higgins fired the shot tiiat hit him
last; it is probable that Thomson
hit hlhi in the hip with ills first shot
as lie used an automatic Colt, and
the wound is a small one like it
would make, and that Leacli hit him
in the head. But that is something
that makes but little difference.
The shooting is over and none of the
officers killed, although the marshal
had a narrrow call of it.
Four shots were fired at him
and lie fired four, Higgins and Thomp-
son two each. It took nerve to stand
before a man who was determined to
die with his boots on, and not be
taken, and the officers displayed that
kind of nerve.

PAINT YOUR g
HOUSE! .
N
Be Proved It Wu Logical.
A lawyer was defending a man ac-
cused of housebreaking and said to
the court:
"Your Honor, I submit that my
client did not break into the house at
all. He found the parlor window
open and merely inserted his right
arm and removed a few trifling arti-
cles. Now, my client's arm is not
himself, and I fail to see how you
can punish the whole individual for
an offence committed by only one of
his limbs."
"That argument," said the judge,
"is very well put Following it log-
ically, I sentence the defendant's
arm to one year imprisonment. He
can accompany it or not, as he
chooses."
The defendant smiled, and with his
lawyer's assistance unscrewed his cork
arm, and leaving it in the dock, walk-
ed out.—Ladles Home Journal.
