If you arc one of those people who
believe that all minstrels and all cir-
cuses are alike—that when you have
seen one, you nave seen all, go to the
Windsor Opera House on Tuesday,
February L'.'t, and be convinced of
your error.
On this date America's oldest min-
strel organization, Richards & Frin-
ge's Famous Minstrels, will appear.
Since its inception this company has
stood for what was the most whole-
some mid progressive in this partic-
ular field of endeavor. Known and
lauded in every town and city of Im-
portance from Maine to California
and from Canada to the Gulf, tty
management have fairly outdone
themselves this season in the menu
of good tilings they have to otter.
Headed by Clarence Howell and
eleven other big funmakers of inter-
national reputation, and a corps of
singers and dancers Unsurpassed, the
laugh hungry and music loving popu-
lation have a jolly night in store.
The vaudeville portion of the pro-
gram has been most carefully select-
ed, aud that you will "sit up and take
notice" is a foregone conclusion.

CUKBKWE ROLLER WL15.
Fourteen Years in Claremore.
While many were celebrating the
birthday of Abraham Lincoln last
Friday, Saturday was more of an
anniversary to C. F. Godbey than
Friday, although he is glad that
Lincoln was born. Saturday marked
the fourteenth anniversary of the day
Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Godbey dropped
off in Claremore to start their fortune
with the new country. Mr. Godbey
was talking to the Messenger man
Saturday about t his occasion and be-
came reminiscent.
He said that on that auspicious oc-
casion he came from Vinita to Clare-
more on a local, that being the only
accommodations the Frisco could
afford at the time. A passenger train
came from Monett as far as Vinita,
and then a local carried the balance
of the trafflc as far as Red Furk,
which was the end of the line. Leav-
ing Vinita at 10 o'clock they arrived
here at5 in the evening. After get-
ting here the charter for the new
bank was delayed and did not
arrive. Mr. Godbey, however, hung
around the bank and a few came in
and while the bank as a bank could
not do business or open books, lie
received a few deposits for safe keep-
ing, giving his personal receipt for
the same. The new safe came, and
it weighed 6,000 pounds. The present
drays and transfer companies with
their strong wagons and stronger
teani3 did not exist then, and the
only dray in town was a dray bed on
a pair of farm wagon running gears
The safe was loaded on this wagon and
started up street, but struck a few
soft places in the road and the wagon
upset, dumping the safe on the
ground. With two or three hitches
at it, and about four days' time the
safe was finally put in place, the
charter came on March the 2d, and
Claremore boasted the proud distinc-
tion of having a bank in its borders,
and it has been here ever since. Mr.
Godbey has been the First National's
cashier ever since—fourteen years-
and a good one he has been. His
bank, from a little country bank, has
developed into a mammoth institu-
tion, and many thousands of dollars
of business is handled now, to where
hundreds once were, but the chances
are that Mr. and Mrs. Godbey will
always look back with pleasure to
their introduction to Claremore and
Rogers County people.

Live Stock Letter.
Special to Messenger:
Kansas City Stoqk Yards, Feb. 18
1909. There was a good run of quar
tines here last week, and the market
closed the week about steady on
steers a shade stronger on cows. Itun
is light today, 20 cars, and as there is
another general storm throughout
the west, piospects favor light runs
later on through the week, and a
strong market, l'rices are around
10 higher tody, some late sales show
more advance, asccount of fears of
buyers famine supplies next few
days. Bulk of the steers today sold
at $4.75 to 15.50, weighing from 878
1176 pounds. Heavy steers sold in
quarantine division last week at Stt.OO
Several loads of Texas bulls were in-
lcuded today at $.175 to $3.80, top
cows lately at 84 25, but not many
cows included in receipts the last
week. Veals bring up to $0.00, but
receipts of calves in the quarantine
division are small. Bad weatl er
lately has kept down the attendar _
of country buyers, but shipments «f
stockers and feeders last week w||
340 car loads, and the market is 10 tO
20 lower than a week ago, about the
same as during the previous weik
There was less call for fleshy feeders
than formerly.
The hog market is holding up well,
although packers occasionally get in
a good day, such as last Saturday
wtien a two day's supply on sale at
Chicago furnlsned the excuse to ham-
mer the market. Run here was 78,-
000 head last week, and the net loss
was 11 cents per cwt., just about re-
presenting the loss of Saturday. Sup-
ply is 7000 head here today, market
10 higher top 16.50. medium weight
hogs at $6 15 to $0.45, lights $5.80 to
$6.25, pigs $4.50 to $5.50 It is cur-
rently reported that a spirit of econ-
omy is abroad in the land, but in
such times pork gets more support
than it loses, as pork can be on a
high level and still be cheaper than
other meats, because it goes further.
Astute dealers figure, therefore, that
the tendency of hog prices will up-
ward.

march on their brother lodges, which
will do much good to build up this
lodge. Prof. Barnes will have charge
of the band. He is a noteworthy cor
netist, and thinks lie has good mater-

Claremore should feel proud of itself
in getting another band because she
needs it very much.

EFFECTIVE RECIPE.
Home-Made Kidney, Bladder and Iheuma-
Here is a simple home-made mix-
ture as given by an eminent authori-
ty on Kidney diseases, who makes
the statement that it will relieve al-
most any case of Kidney trouble if
taken before the stage of Bright's
disease. He states that such symp-
toms as lame back, pain in side, fre-
quent desire to urinate, especially at
night; painful and discolored urina-
tion, are readily overcome. Here is
the receipe. Try it:
Fluid Extract of Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsapariila, three
ounces. Take a teaspoonful after
each meal and at bedtime.
These ingredients are all harmless
and easily mixed at home by shaking
well in a bottle. This mixture has a
peculiar healing and soothing effect
upon the entire Kidney and Urinary
structure, and often overcomes the
worst forms of rheumatism by forc-
ing the kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood and system all uric
acid and ioul, decomposed waste
matter, which cause these afflictions.
Try it if you aren't well. Save the
prescription.
Among Society People
One tho prettiest events of the
season was the heart parly given by
