HARMONIOUS.
The Meeting of the Democratic
and Populist County Central
Connnittes Largest Ever
Held in Grant County.
I'KKPARING FOB VKJOROUS WOBK.
W. J. Bryan Kecognized as
the Right Man to Lead the
People to Victory inlUOS.
It was deciikd at llie joint c< mmittee
meeting ot the populist and ileuiocratic
parties in this city on last Thursday
that the campaigu should be conducted
by one committee under the head of
"Bryan" Democracy. This is as it
should be, and was unanimously Hgreed
too. We give below the resolutions ms
adopted which meet with our hearty
approval. The parties combined us
solid anti-republican, never had a belter
show for sweeping the flatter clean thun
in the coming election. We want to
say right here though that each candi-
date should be well scrutinized and
none but c.ood men nominated, men
whose lives are clean, men who havt
taiut of dishonesty in their in their char-
acters. With a full ticket of this
we can win in a walk. The watch-word
should be from now until the votes ar
counted "none but gi.od men need ap-
ply."
RKSOI.LTION'S.
Adopted by the County Central Com
miitees of the Democratic and Populist
parties of Grant Count), Oklahoma, in
joint meeting assembled.
BE it resolved, By this joint com
mittee in joint me<-tmg assembled thai,
in the interest of the success of tin
principles of Kefoun Democracy ii
Grant County and Oklahoma, we present
a solid front to our common enemy that
we make the figlii under one name and
one committee.
We reaffitm onr faith in the principle
of Reform Democracy as enunciated by
that peeiless representative of tlie people
William J. Brian, of Nebraska.
We believe in the iniative and refer-
endum in the making ot all laws.
We view with concern the great bat-
tle now being waged be.ween the people
and the great corporations and trust:
and we believe tlie only perfect solutiou
of the question lies in g.iveiment c
trol of the great lines of communication
and transportation.
We believe in the adoptiou of a con-
stitution for Oklahoma that will forevei
keep out private monopolies and trusts,
We extend a cordial invitation to all
who believe in a government "of tlie
people and for the, pedple" to unite
with us.
. The Star does not care what the label
on the package is, so the contents are
pure and wholesome. The label is right
in this instance.
Some time ago "Moses," our Egypt
correspondent suggested that the local
correspondents agree on a day and all,
or as many as could come and take a
day in Medford the guests of the Star,
We said "come on boys we'll show you
a good time and see that you are seated
to a good diuuer. We have received
two letters this week from lady contri-
butors reflecting on our ungallant invi
tation, for not including the- ladies. Wi
now say come on girls, come on boy
we will do our best. to entertain all of
you and show our appreciation of your
past kindness in helpliig to place the
•the Star at the head of the list among
the local county papers. We did not
mean to treat any of you shabbily, but
we had .not. counted our big hand for
some time and never once thought but
that a 1.1, would consider themselves in-
vited. So fix your date and we'll get
busy.
The following editorial shots taken
from the Watonga Republican shows
what exgovernor Ferguson thinks of
some of the new recruits in the tepub-
lican camp and the recognition they are
receiving at the hands of the appointive
powers;
This paper believes in giving places of
honor under the control ot the party
to Republicans, and not to those who
come into the camp to feast on the
loaves and fishes latlierlhan from a mat
ter of political conviction. The doors of
the Republican party stand opt-11 lo all,
and while the lamp of life hold-- out to
burn the vilest sinner (political) may re-
turn. But it does not follow that the
newcomer should Ke giv-n a fmnt seat,
while the "old timers" in parly service
are told to "go 'way back," etc.
There is a "heap" more in the above
than appears at a first glance, read it
again and then think a little.
Last Thursday was a pretty good
day in this print .4iop. B. H. Dervage
of Renfrow paid arrears and renewed
for another year making J. W.
Wisehart of Lyle did the same, leaving
also a V with us. S. A. Elk ins of Jeffer-
son, $i,oo for arrears and a year in ad-
vance. Jas. Gruben, of Clyde, ?i,uo,
Wm. Mott, Medford dropped a dollar < n
the desk and had his name enrolled for
a year. Verily, the end draweth nigh,
and notch No. 12 will soon be added to
the joint notch stick owned by Messrs
Palmer & Simmons.
Piano Rccital
The recit'il at the opera house last
Friday night was fully appreciated bv
the people, as live hundred accepted
Mrs. Hardy's .invitation to hear her pu-
pils play.
The stage was beautifully decorated
and at an early hour the'music-loving
people of Medford and vicinity began to
arrive, and long before the time the en-
tertainment was lo begin, every seat in
the house was occupied. The pupils
were ably assisted by Miss Palmer and
Mr. Brown,
Miss Genevieve Mosh was firsi to ap-
pear, playing "Cotton Field Dance," by
Bi di r. She played with marked bril-
liancy and received hearty applause.
Miss Maiie Burner played "Marclie
de Nuit," by Goltschalk. Her execu-
tion was fine; her tones pure and sweet,
and the grace and ease with which she
presided at the piano made her friends
feel justly proud of her.
Mr. E-tes Knlbfleisch, of Jefferson,
was next, playing a double number.
This gentleman is one of the leadn g
music teachers of the county apd his
playing brought forth stn ug applause.
Mr. A, S. Br< wn appeared next, and
sang ' Sunset," a solo by Dudley Buck,
111 a manner that brought forth ringing
applause Andy is a natural musician
und never falls to make good. He pos-
sesses a voice of exlraotdinary quality
and knows how to use it: lor an eucoie
lie sang " l'he Skipper."
Miss Nell Asher, of Enid, filled her
position to ilie delight of her many hear
er.-;. Her playing demonstrated that she
is a natural musician. The rend'tion ol
her second number, "The Witches
Dance," by McDowell, was especially
worthy of mention, being one of the
moat effective numbers of the whole pro-
gram.
Miss Frederika Boettcher. of whom all
Medford has just cause to be proud,
played a double number and was heartily
received by the audience.
Miss Harriet Asher, of Enid, played
"Cradle Song," by Chopin, and "Im
promplu, in C Sharp Minor." by Rein
holdt. She has wonderful talent; her
interpretation and execution is good;
this, with her unaffected, pleasing per-
sonality, won for her the hearty com-
mendations of the audience.
Miss Co.a Palmer then sang "Leider"
by Victor Harris, aud was heartily re-
ceived. Miss Palmer has a very pleas-
ing contralto voice, the beauty of which
she has increased by thorough culture.
For an encore she sang a little Irish
song, "To my Fiist Love," which com-
pletely captivated the audience.
None of the pupils received more ap-
plause than Mr. Jacobs, who is fitting
himself for a music teacher. He is very
ambitious, talented, and has a bright fu-
ture in the musical world. He played
two numbers that were highly appreci-
ated.
The last number, a duet, by the Misses
Asher, of Enid, was heartily received,
and the audience insisted on an encure
to which they gracefully responded.
The rtcital was a grand success, and
the pupils' playing speaks volumes for
Mrs. Hardy's ability us an instru 1 <\

The high price of horses and mules is
somewhat a surprise to many. Several
years ago when horses were very cheap
and cows were high, farmers quit large-
ly raising colts, but those who went
steadily along and stayed by the brood
mare are reaping a good reware- The
bicycle craze and the automobile scare
—nearly all of which was on paper—
did much to discourage horse breeding.
We advise all farmers to produce as
many good colts as they can of the
draught class, there will always be a
demand for them. Also raise as many
good mules as possible, the day of the
"dinky" mule is past as there is no de-
mand for street car mules any wliete in
the United States. There will never be
any auto-mow-hays, auto-plows, auto-
drills and auto-wagons, to drive the
horse from the farm or from the city
drays. You "ought to-raise" draft horses!
