HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
The Sequoyah Historical Society met
Wednesday afternoon. After a short
business meeting the delegates to the
third district convention of Federated
clubs at Nowata read their report. The
convention was a great success. One
of the best papers was written by Misa
Nannie Lipe and read by Mrs Roar.
One of the best numbers on the pro-
grsm was a vocal solo by Miss Maude
ELECTIONS FRIDAY
The states of Nebraska and Oregon
each held a primary election last Fri-
day at which time the voters expressed
their choice for presidential candidstes
Roosevelt wss successful over both
Taft and LaFoUotte and will probably
have a solid delegation from both
states. The contest in the democratic
party was more evenly contested;
Clark winning in Nebraska and Wilaoa
iivOregon. There ia a probability that
Harmon may have carried two dis-
tricts in Nebraska aa tha vote between
all three of the candidates was cloae
but Clark seems to have pulled through
ia most of the state Wilson will have
a solid delegation from Oregon.
BEULAH DEMOCRATS ORGANIZE.
The Beulsh democrats came to life
with vim Thursday night when a meet-
ing of about sixty waa held and a club
was organized with C. W. Miller as
president, A N. Starr vice president,
and j no. Francia secretary and treasurer
Richard Wills and several candidates
were present snd made addresses.
WE WENT, WE WERE SEEN. WE
WERE CONQUERED.
And even unto this day we cannot
tell bow it happened. The pill In some
inconceivable manner managed to elude
ua at every turn. The game from
start to finish waa a horrible night
mare and when wa awoke at the end
of the aeventh inning, we found that
it was a stern realty with a score some
where between 60 and 30 ataring ua in
th« /see to our own huge a as the total
of our runs. Our third baseman aeci-
dently hit the ball ard afterwards beg-
ged the pitchers pardon for such a
rash act. and aaid it waa the pitchers
own fault for hitting the bat instead
of him hitting the ball.
There were no bases stolen as we
are strictly honest fellows and would
not stoop to so low sn act as stealing
We did not hit the ball because it was
a new one and we did not want to soil
it, but aomehow the other aide did not
have the aame consideration for the
pill*. They slammed it to the four
, corners of the earth; they stole bases.

THE ARKANSAS LAW.
The Oklahoma City Times unburdens
tself to quite an extent in telling the
public what fools the people of Ark
aaaas are to pass a law requiring rail-
roads to pay double the value for live
stock killed by a railroad train. The
Times score the people of our sister
state for having such a law. and which
♦he supreme court has just decided is
unconstitutional, hot the Times does
not have the fairness to explaii
law provides that the railroads have 40
day in which to pay a fair value for
stock before the double value clause
Into effect
Railroads have a habit of killing
stock and then paying whatever and
whenever it suits them, and if a poor
nan is compelled to go into the courts
to oollect fur his property, be will loose
money in the transection even though
the railroads should in the end be com-
pelled to pay double. The law pro-
vides that the stock be appraised by
fair men at a fair value and then the
railroad be given 60 days in which -to
raise enough money to pay for what
it has destroyed. Isn't that time
snoughT The Times would allow the
railroads all the Ume they want ia
which to pay, allow them to say what
the stoek ia worth and tben allow the
poor man to collect if be to able to go
into court end do so.
