WOULD CHANGE
MORNING- train.
The question of chainging the
rs- , schedule on the Frisco from
Enid to Clinton, Davidson and
Vernon, was threshed out before
Commissioner Watson of the
corporation commission in the
■commerce rooms at Enid Wed-
nesday.,
The retail merchants of Enid
have asked for a change of
schedule between Enid and Clin
ton so that they will start from
Clinton at 6 o'clock a. m. and the
train leaving Vernon, Texas, in
the afternoon, reaching Enid at
midnight changed to leave Enid
about 4 o'clock p. m.
No opposition developed to
the early morning train into
Enid. Various interests, how-
ever insisted that the m irning
train out of Enid is important,
and the commercial travelers op-
pose any change in the schedule.
The merchants of Enid are
very desirous of this Change,
but the people of this vicinity do
r.ot want this change as it is
sure to work against the merch-
ants of our city.
Enid, Olrla , Q0f>t. xa
Garrison appeared in superior
court today and plead guilty to
the charge of willfully, malic-
iously and feloniously pulling
the spikes and removing the fish
plates from the rails of the Roek
Island railway near Lahoma.
He was sentenced to one year
in the reform school at Granite.
The youthful offender is 20 years
of age. The parents of young
Garrison were here when he
pleaded guilty. The family re-
side at Stillwater, Ralph's paren
ts say he has heretofore been a
good boy and. has never before
shown any criminal inclinations.
Ralph says he got the idea of
his plot from a young fellow in
Enid who told him of two parties
who performed a similar opera-
tion on a railroad in Texas.
Then flagged ^he train and got a
reward, besides the newspapers
gave the apparent dicoveries of
the plot a record of heroism. So
Ralph staried out to win fame
and gold, but landed in the re-
form school.
A Good position
Can be had by ambitious young
men or ladies in the field of
" Wireless" or railway telegraphy
Since the 8-hour law became
elective, and since the Wireless
companies are establishing sta-
tions throughout the country
there is a great shortage of tele-
graphers. Positions pay begin-
ners from S70 to $90 per month,
with good chance of advancement
The Nationnf 1'elegraph Institute
operates six official institutes in
America, under supervision of
R. R. and Wireless Officials and
places all graduates into posi-
tions. It will pay you to wriie
them for full details at Memphis,
Tenij, or Columbia, S. C. or
Enid. Oklu.
Organize a Commercial
CI sib.
It has been some four vears
since Drummond has had a Com-
mercial Club and we all know
that a Commercial Club ia a town
builder and makes a town better
all around; there ia some good
material in Drummond for an
organization and we should get
together and organize. The ed-
itor would like to hear from some
body interested, then set a night
and hold a meeting. Several
have spoken to me about ajslub
and it eeems that a meeting
should be oalled at once as now
is a good time to put your shoul-
aes to the wheel and boost for
Drummond. Throw away that
hammer and quit your knocking

farm of McFarland and says he
was never treated better by any
one than he was by them. It
certainly took nerve to go back
and walk off with lifty or sixty
dollars worth of clothing. Mc
Dermott is in county jail await-

penitentiary would learn him to

peoples property.

Oklahoma City, Sept, 7.—Gov-
ernor Haskell, early this even-
ing, had not issued a prolama-
tion calling for an election No-
vember 8 to submit the prohibi-
tion question. Under the law
the proclamation must be issued
60 days before the election, and
this was the last day. The gov-
ernor was in conference all day
with Geo. C. Conger, superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon
league, and William Cardwell,
attorney for the resubmission of
organization. The governor's
contention has been that the
prohibition ordinance of the con-
stitution can not be repealed be-
cause of existing Indian treaties
that prohibit the sale of cliquors
in former indian Territory. If
he refuses to call the election the
resubmission forces declare they
will mandamus the state election
board and compel the question to
be placed on the ballot.
This is the last day on which
the governor may call an elec-
tion to submit the woman suff-
rage proposition which has been
initiated by the State Suffrage
association with -10,000 signa-
tures. The resubmission prop-
osition oontained about 63,000
petitioners.
