Oh you Jo-bailey-you
they’re after
A- Mannsville man who cannot
figure his wages per day at ten
dollars per week can tell you pll
about the tariff and its workings
A great many people who didn’t
know just how they stood on the
Canadian reciprocity matter can
now come out in favor of it a Mr
Jo-baiiey is against it
Jo-bailey has devoted so much
time to defending himself that he
was able to pull Loriner through
by the aid of Republican votes and
1 -eyed Ben Tillman whose skirts
are also badly soiled Thank God
both of our Senators and Culberson
of Texas voted to unseat the blond
grafter But it may also be said I
that Lorimer is not the only mem-
berof the Senate who looks a great
deal better to himselt than he does)
to anyone else
At a citizens meeting at the city
ball one night last week the chair-
man explained a question to be

to ask” said the chair A vote
was taken and the motion sustain-
ed The next day a dozen men
said they Intended to vote against
the motion but through a misun -
derstanding voted for it Give us
more schools— nerve schools
The crowd in the city last Sat-
urday was the largest since the
holidays All of our business men
enjoyed a good trade and there
were numerous amusements on the
streets to entertain our country
friends
Rev J F Young pastor o the
Baptist church in this city
preached a splendid sermon at the
morning hour last Sunday His
theme was the “Return of the Pul-
pit to the Bible” His talk was
interesting from beginning to end
and his presention of facts were
convincing and appealing

The most refreshing event that
has occurred in Oklahoma since
statehood was the wholesale firing
of the state enforcement officers
last week by Governor Cruce The j
records show that it cost $11000
- to enforce the prohibition law dur-1
ing the month of January and the I
State was wetter than it had ever
been before Governor Cruce call-
ed in the herd of pampered pets
and told them that their connec-
tion with the pay roll had been
severed and that they could re-
turn to their accustomed vocations
of driving cabs and selling chill!
con carne The governor even had
the temerity to attach a whole
warehouse full of tinware to the
official appendage of tbe Right Rev
B J Waugh a feat supposed to
be impossible The governor could
not have picked out a ranker
growth of coarse vegetation on
which to use the pruning knife

PURE OLD ROSEN-JACK
Two Cltltena of Mannsville ere Rich
and Don't Know It
II E Crider has his studying
cap on this week The other day
while tearing up the floor in his
house (in a side room) to get to
hen’s nest he upset a shoe box
tilled with rocks which he has
picked up around here during the
past five years Upon examining
the rock he ran across a large piece
of “rosin-jack” about as long as
au ordinary man's hand and about
half as wide Ilec says that he
used to walk around a good dea
on Sundays while he was station
agent here and that he is satisflec
he picked it up on Turkey Creek
somewhere but at the time he had
no idea it was valuable Lately he
says he has seen “rosen-jack” from
the Joplin Missouri fields and
that is why he noticed it when he
turned the box over lie says that
he is sure he found this rock
around here and that he is almost
as positive thac it came from the
Turkey Creek country as that is
where he almost invariably walked
to on Sunday afternoon
ANOTHER CASH
For the past three years far
mers and others have (een bring-
ing rocks containing mineral to
town and in most instances they
would leave them at the First State
Bank until quite a collection has
been received No one here ever
pretended to know anything about
mineral and little attention was
paid to the collection of specimen
until the Ravia field began to make
people sit up and take notice It
was then that our people began to
compare jock In looking over
these specimen at the First State
Bank a large piece of “rosen-jack”
has been discovered Just who
brought it in is not known for so
many have brought in specimen of
their finds that no record was ever
kept of who the rocks belong to
It seemed to be more of race to see
who could bring in the biggest
freak in “rockology”
E V Wolverton cashier of the
bank and Geo D Wilkes who was
formerly assistant cashier are pos-
itive in declaring that this “rosen-
l jack” was brought in from around
Mannsville
Some “nestor” is as good as rich
if he can identify this ‘‘jack” and
"show up”
The Herald wants this fellow for
a partner in the printing business
and if he don’t care to engage in
this business we want $iooo for
! putting him on easy street
The Herald is reliably informer:
by one of our best citizens that a
man from Colorado visited the
Norton mine one day last week
and offered the man in charge $6oo
for his share (which cost $20) if
he would turn the work over to
him It is thought that be wantec
to “smother” it
Mason Ritchey Dead
Died at the home of his parents
one mile north of Mannsville last
Tuesday afternoon Mason Ritchey
aged about 20 or 21 years Mason
was sick only a short time and the
disease was - pneumonia Every-
thing possible known to medical
science was done to relieve him
but without result His remains
were interred in the Mannsville
cemetery Wednesday afternoon anc
one of the largest crowds that ever
assembled at a burial here accom-
panied the corpse to the burial
grounds Rev J N Snaveley de-
livered the funeral address which
was able and impressive School
was dismissed and the children
marched in a body to the cemetery
to pay their last worldly respects
to this exemplary young man
With a heavy heart we would
drop a tear to the memory of Ma-
son Ritchey His death has brought
the bitter cup of sorrow to the lips
of friends and relatives His
heart was of gold He was one of
nature’s noblemen in its truest
sense— brave generous and manly
He was the soul of honor and his
friends and friendships were sacred
to him It was nature with hiui
his father being a true Southerner
and an ex-Confederate soldier true
and tried
To the broken-hearted father
mother brothers and sisters who
sit in sorrow where his footsteps
shall never again find echo we ex-
tend the sympathy of one who lov-
ed him as a brother

You cuu't down the fellow who work
while you deep
That wo not Rule' slate you itrpped

Face is so Fumihar That 1 Can Almost
Call Your Name'
After Kube get hi gasoline engine
installed he won't have any use for ao
much hot air
It will take about ten death and a
good big fire to help this old town to
any great extent
You wouldn't think it but Kuhe was
iu two plaem at the Mine time one day
lost week— Randolph and homesick
There are so many things that is un-
lawful that Ruin wonders every night
how he kept out of jail during the day
A farmer’s daughter was recently mar-
ried mid meeting him on the street re-
cently we asked 'who is the lucky man?’
‘I am" he replied
Every time we see a certain fellow we
are reminded of a parlor match A par-
lor match makes a whole lot of noise has
a red head hut nairy brain

A town cow seems to enjoy disturbing
people as much as some ornery people
enjoy running in and out of church dur-
ing religious services
Rulie heard a fellow My that he admir-
ed the way Tishomingo was laid out
and that some friend should help to bury
that it had lieen dead a might
time
Ever notice how kind a drunkard's
friends are to him? Aud how they ex-
cuse his faults and My he is really a
brilliant fellow?
Rube heard of a certain fellow the other
day who said he was going in certain
dive and break it up Meeting him yes-
terday we asked “were your plans car-
ried'but?'' “No’’ he Mid “I was”
When One-eyed Rilev goes to Ardmore
and returns he gets off the train at the 1 5 more for the upbuilding of the
Frisco junctioh and hikes across the j (own of Denton than any other one
country for Greasy Bend Rube knows ma:i who ever rc-sfdfd in that beau-
tiful little city
all about it
Although opposed to war we would
rather enjoy the sight of a Chinaman
chasing a fierce Cossack' We have an
idea that the Cassacks are as badly over-
rated as the noble Red Men
Rube has been reading a great deal
about Socialism recently and has arrived
at the conclusion that a Socialist is a fel-
low who will divide anything with you—
provided you furnish the article
A man recently died in Texas leaving
everything he had to an orphan asylum
Rube dou’t ordinarily believe in' that
way of doing especially where a man has
kin but in this case it was all right He
left seven chilerea all girts
“Two cackles and a grunt" said a
railroad man the other day as he gave in
his order at a restaurant Rube watched
that order and when it came back we no-
ticed two eggs and a piece of ham
“You are always complaining” said a
man to Rube the other day “that you’ll
wake up some morning and find the wolf
at your door You notice no wolf ever
comes to my door” Sure not No wolf
would take a chance like that he would
be afraid of getting skinned
Big cities seem to take w mien’s fash-
ions so seriously ’ Philadelphia has an-
nounced that if tbe Phiiidelphia women I
appear on the streets wearing the new
Harem skirts they will be arrested The
Harem skirt is made like baggy trousers
and tied in at tbe ankle It is strapped
in back and front with satin bands
Bruce Hill and Rube counted tbe votes
at the show rtc other night ang after fin
ishine the count Capt Smith handed ns'
half-dollar each and Mid “here boys
get you a couple of good cigars” We
don't know what Bruce did with his’n
nut Rube sent bis to a mail-jrder house
Here is a copy of our letter: “Gentle-
men: “Enclosed please find fifty cents
for which please send ns i gallon of your
BEST whiskey-” — Kube
The first night of the show at the Rock
Building it was reported that the build-
idg was unsafe and Rube was a little bit
“leery" till Capt Smith who weighs
about three hundred pounds stepped to
the front of the stage and said “you
needn't think I’d be up here if this build-
ing wasn’t safe Of a I my relations I
think the most of myself” Then Rube
felt easy

DEATH OF A FREND
The news of the death of Char
ley Donaliower of Pewaukee Wis-
consin (formerly of Denton Tex-
as) was received by the editor of
the Herald this week No cause
was announced in the papers
Two weeks ago we had a long
letter from him and he was well
jovial and hearty The announce-
ment of his sudden death was a
great surprise as well as a shock to
us
The subject of this sketch lias
always been an active energetic
man both iinancialy mentally and
ph sically giving liberally liis t me
and means labor and sympathy iu
homes of sickness and death He
was public-spiited and probably
In religion Charley early devel-
oped the habit of weighing things
in the balance of reason discarding
that which to hiui did not harmon-
ize with the Creator’s plan ash
saw God’s Has in the big book of
Nature He believed in doing
good for tbe sake of humaniry and
notin thevfear of the anger and
vengence of a higher powei Hell
to him is what men make for
themselves here on earth and not
a place of divine origin for futme
punishment As to future exis-
tence he felt that ea h will be re-
warded according to the good deeds
done in this life Tjiat we come
come into this life not of our own
accord a id we go not out of our
own free will but subject to the
Supreme Power over all and to
that Power lie was willing to Irusc
his fate when bis time should come
to meet the great mystery of death
His convictions whether right
or wrong were he nest and sincere
resulting from careful study and
analysis on his part and with
which he calmly met the fate of all
flesh Having lived according to
the light he had (and who shall
judge that light but the just God
oefore whom we must all pass) we
- - - - -
lower all that remains of our friend
to his final res ing place to calmly
await the reward of a just God
And as we cover it with the sods

Milburn’s Bill
Editor ofjllie Herald:
Having received two inquiries
from citizens of Mannsville recent-
ly and having noticed your invi-
tation to use your columns for the
purpose of conveying to the peo-
ple of Mannsville and vicinity any
information I might have concern-
ing legislation in the interest of
schools I gladly avail myself of
your information and wislt to
briefly state what has been done to
date
Early in this session I introduc-
ed a resolution submitting to the
people a proposed amendment to
the constitution empowering the
legislature to provide State aid tor
common schools that cannot run
five months on a five mill levy
It passed the Hoti-e by a vote of Stf
to 6 and is now pending iu the
Senate and I trust that Senator
Franklin whose name I placed on
the resolution js one of the authors
may be able to get it through the
Senate iiefore adjournment Hit
passes I would like to see the peo-
ple of Johnston county the first to
get busy for the purpose of procur-
ing its adoption at the polls If
they succeed in this they will have
to get busy for County Superin-
tendent Tucker of Carter county
is a very enthusiastic supporter of
the resolution mid through the ef-
forts of himself and Prof Evans
Superintendent of the city schools
of Ardmore and Prof Briles Pres-
ident of the Ada Normal secured
the adoption of a resolution en-
dorsing this amendment at the re-
cent State Teacher’ Association at
Leave Town so

The House haa already passed a
bill setting anide about $3000 coo
of the f und from the public build-
ing lands for consolidated rural
ami common school puroscs from
1-4 mill to 1 mill and h is also
passed the "Free Text Ho ik" bill
I sucured the adoption of amend-
ment to this bill proii iig that the
free books to lie furbished are to I e
furnished the children in the low-
est grades'first This makes four
measures which have pased the
House affecting schools through-
out tlie country an 1 are now
pending in the Senate Soineof
them will doubtless rim the gaunt-
let and get to the Governor and
become a law
As a ineinlier of the coiimuttec
on education I assisted in drawing
the hill providing for State Uonni
of Education to take the place of
the present Hoard the text tm-d
cainmis-ion tbe lioards of regnents
of the State University the Nor-
mal the schools for the deaf the
blind orphans e'c thus cutting
out a large numjier of unnecessiry
pjid officers and reducing the ed-
ucation affairs of the State to 1
sound a 11 d business-like basis
This bill lias not yet become a law
but we believe it will within the
next few diys
I regret the lack- of time pre-
vents me giving to vour readers all
the details of eicli of the hlwm-
measures and trjist that nt soin
future time I may have the oppor-
tunity of so doing
Thank n you for your kind of-
fer of space to e'xplain these im-
portant matters I l-g to remain
