Especially with phone service. That's what they all say, except
the Sentinel' Telephone Company, and we claim it is easy to
please our customers. How¥ Just "deliver the goods;" that's
all,;; We haven't a single subscriber who would be anything like
satisfied with second best telephone service. On the other hand,
we haven't a single subscriber who isn't at present satisfied. We
are here to give the beat service and that's what we are doing.
If, in any way you can figure it, you are anything short of the
best, please let us know and we will gladly take it up. We give

To Regulate Marriage License.
State Senator Landrum, of
Cherokee county, has introduced
a bill whereby the issuance of
marriage license would be placed
under control of the state board
of health. Under the new bill
the board is authorized to pre-
scribe the forms for application,
which shall contain full data as
to the names, ages, residences,
color and parentage of the parties
and whether the marriage con-
templated is the first, second or
other marriage. The issuance
of a license is forbidden whether
either party is an imbecile, epi-
leptic or of unsound mind, or is
afflicted with a contageous' dis-
ease; is an habitual drunkard or
addicted to the drug habit.
Where the right to a license is
not made to appear, the county
judge is to refuse the same and
certify the matter to the district
cpurt, which is to rule on the
matter without delay or expense
to the applicant. If persons re-
siding in this state go to another
state to marry with intent 10
evade the provisions of this act,
and afterward return to and re-
side in this state, the marriage
is to be held void.—Sallisaw Star
Gazette.
Body Will Be Placed on Cais-
son for Conveyance to
Resting Place.
Gen. William Lewis Cabell, a
soldier of high distinction in the
Civil War and known best as a
vigorous advocate for the recog-
nition of Confederate soldiers
since that time, passed away
peacefnlly at 9:30 o'clock p. m.
Feb. 23 at Dallas, 264 (old num-
ber) North Pearl street.
The funeral was held with full
military honors last Sunday aft-
ernoon at Dallas. Following a
request of Gen. Cabsll, the
body was carried to the grave on
a caisson. Sterling Price Camp,
United Confederate Veterans,
acted as an escort of honor. As
was expected, many Confeder-
ate soldiers from this and adjoin-
ing states were in attendance,
and many men prominent in oth-
er walks of life were present.
Ten weeks ago he suffered an
attack of acute bronchitis, but
rallied from this and bacame bet-
ter. This left his heart very
weak and told seriously on his
vitality.
His condition during previous
ten or twelve day shad been noth-
ing to cause additional alarm.
Ben E. Cabell, and a daughter,
Mr. E. B. Muse, were sitting in
an adjoining room, when Mrs.
Muse was moved to go to her
father. She entered the room
and found that life had departed.
There was no struggle, no evi-
dence that death had come. Ly-
ing in an easy attitude, with
hands folded across his breast,
the old General seemed more to
be sleeping peacefully than to 1
have entered the realm of eternal
rest. Beneath the flowing gray .

MRS. R. BIRCHFIELD
THIRD STREET :: SENTINEL
He died at his home, four miles
northwest of Cache, fifteen miles
west of Lawton at the foot of the
Wichitas, at 12:05 today, from a
severe attack of rheumatism,
which affected the heart. Park-
er and his family had been on a
visit to the Cheyenne Indians
near Hammon since Sunday. He
had been suffering from rheuma-
tism for several weeks and even
when he left home was not well.
While among the Cheyennes the
recent cold wave brought on a
return of rheumatism and, be-
lieving his end was near, he or-
dered relatives to bringhim home.
He arrived at Cache on a stretch-
er shortly after 11, and within
twenty minutes after being car-
ried to his home, died.
The funeral will be held to-
morrow at 2 o'clock. Quanah
has, in fact, been leader since the
death of his father. At the time
he was 14 years of age, Chief
Nacona called his people together
and requested that his son Quan-
ah, be his successor, after he had
proven his right to the throne by
his bravery. When the young
chief became 18 years of age he
reorganized the tribe and went
on the warpath.

Three years ago at the great
rest. vac uvvwu* intertribal council, held at Saddle
locks a half smile showed on his ^ u , ,
face. The expression denoted
contentment, almost a welcome
to an end that he had expected
and for which he was in all
things prepared.
That he believed the final end
to be approaching was told in his
actions when first stricken some
ten weeks ago. His children, who
had been called home, were call-
ed around him and he admonish-
ed them not to ask God that he
might linger. He told them that
the Great Father had been kind
to him, and had given him in ex-
cess of the three score years and
ten that are allotted to mortals.
For this fact he asked his chil-
dren to offer up thanks to the Al-
mighty. His last words to them
on this occasion were: "Strive,
nual payments. He has had sev-
en wives, three of whom are now
performing domestic duties of
his household. Fifteen children
are now living, others have died.
The funeral services over the
remains of Quanah will be said
by Rev. A. J. Becker, of the
Mennofiite denomination, at the
Post Oak Mission church and the
body laid to rest beside that of
his mother in an adjoining grave-
yard. In the address given by
Quanah at the funeral service of
his white mother he said:
"My mother, captured in 1836,
when 9 years old. She born in
Illinois, 1927. With her people
she moved to Texas; erect Park-
er Fort. Did farming, establish
school, organize Baptist church.
Her uncle, preacher, gate to fort
left open in 1836. Several Com-
anches run in on Parker family.
Preacher killed. Later my moth-
er married Peta Nacona, chief.
Three children born, myself,
Prairie Flower, a sister, and a
younger brother. He die. In
1880 Col. Sull Ross, Ranger, take
my mother back to Texas, Hen-
derson county. He found her to
be Cynthia Ann Parker, me in
her arms. She die 1870. Most
sad story her capture. We want
white folks know these things."
ly elected chief of the Com-
anches. after a bitterly contest-
ed campaign in which Eschiti,
one of the leading subchiefs, was
his principal opponent. ,
With the death of Parker the
Comanches will have to select
a new chief. Friends of Eschiti
declare he is the most probable
successor of the great Quanah.
But there are other candidates,
chief among whom is Capt. Ar-
rows. Arrows is the Indian who
was chiefly responsible for in-
ducing Parker to surrender.
While Quanah never had directly
professed the religion of his white
mother, Cynthia Ann Parker,
when near death he reiterated
the desire, expressed at the fix-
all of you, to keep yourselves and the rebunal of his moth

the government always pure."
With him until recently were
all four of the surviving children.
Lewis Rector Cabell was a few
weeks ago called back to Cuba,
where he is stationed as a civil
engineer. Lawrence Duval Ca-
bell, a captain in the United States
army, with headquarters at Fort
Benjamin Harrison, in Pennsyl-
vania, remained until Monday
! night and was then forced to pro-
ceed to his station, by way of Ft.
| Smith. A telegram reached him
er's body at Cache Dec. 4, last,
that he might meet her with the
white man's God in the world be-
yond.
Parker was 67 years of age,
He was the son of Cynthia Ann
Parker, white captive of the In-
dians, and Peta Nacona, former
chief of the tribe, and led the In
dians on numerous raids on the
white settlers of Texas and Okla
homa even up to the time of the
establishment of Ft. Sill, when
he surrendered in 1874 to Gener-
last night, shortly after leaving jMcKenzie at that post.

Webster's Dictionary describes ANCHOR as follows: " That
which gives stability or tecurity -That on which we place depend-
ence fortafety."
The users of an Anchor define it as " A boggy which insorea
■ecurity-on which to place dependence for safety."
Why does the Anchor insure security?
Bwaufl* it is built right—with the strongest gear, shafts, body,
etc., ever constructed. Strongest, because of the high grade of
material and the way it is built.
If you appreciate high-class mechanical construction, youH
appreciate the Anchor.
It's a stylish buggy too, comfortable and easy riding.
Price? Well, its too GOOD for the money.
