Somk people may think that the
Star's coarse reference to I'rexidtnt
Roosevelt in connection with the
crazy negro that was in the county
last week was cute and witty, but
we lielieve the number i-s very small.

Tom Johnson, democratic can-
didate for governor of Ohio, was
defeated in last week's election by
an overwhelming majority and two
days later Judge J. W. Ryder an
nounced his retirement from the
position »f editor of the Granite
Enterprise. Judge Ryder had been
booming Tom Johnson for presi-
dent and when his champion fell
down the brilliant Ryder gallantly
followed him, aud Mark Hanna
has another sin to answer for.
Senators Qi!ay, of Pennsylva-
nia, and Clark, of Wyoming, spent
several days last week hunting in
the Indian Territory near Bartles-
ville. They were supposed to be
Examining certain coal lands in the
Cherokee nation which the Dela-
ware Indian!? are laying claims to,
Dick Adams, attorney for the Del-
eware's, was with the senators and
looked after them, and as they each
got a shot at a deer that they sup-
posed was wild, Mr. Adams evi-
dently had his plans well laid,
showed the distinguished gentle-
men a good time and will probably
get the coal lands—or a good share
of them.
THE SHERIFF AND THE STAR.
The Mangum Star seems to be
still doing business at the same
place and the publishers are enjoy-
ing all the rights and privileges of
good citizenship just the same as
other people who had never even
been accused of violating the law
and still they have not yet paid a
fine for their alleged fracturing of
the Sunday law. What's the mat-
ter here? Did the sheriff overstep
his authority in the matter and
can't make good? Is it customary
to let a man after being arrested for
a misdemeanor go without paying a
fine, or has the matter been hushed
np and whitewashed over for the
good of the democratic party? It
looks as if there was something
wrong with it somewhere. The
situation is this, the Star was run-
ning its gasoline engine on Sunday,
Sheriff Nelson appeared on the
scene and ordered the engine shut
down and work discontinued, and
also left word for the proprietors,
who were neither of them present,
to come up Monday morning "and
settle for this." The Star proprie-
tors paid no attention to the sher-
iff's notice and there the matter
rests. And it is likely to remain
in resting for some time.
Charles F. Murphy, head of
the Tammany organization, and.
since the election, one of the most
important political personages in
the country, has held but one pub-
lic office—that of dock commission-
er. It is understood that those who
care to do so are able to make a
good deal of money while holding
that office. At one time a Tamma-
ny man gave up a place paying
f8,ooo a year salary to accept that
of dock commissioner at $5,000.
On being asked why he did so he
answered more or less ambiguously:
"Well, you see, in the dock de-
jartment most of the work is done
under water.
There is more money in Greer
county right now thau there ever
was before, which condition is the
result of the selling of a big cotton
crop at good prices. But Greer
county people should not, because
cotton has been a big success this
year, trust to it too largely uext
year for the boll weavil may come
next year and then the farmers
who planted nothing but cotton
may harvest nothing at all. So far
as we have been able to learn there
have been no signs of boll weavil
in Greer county this year, but there
is no telling when they may come
Therefore every farmer should di
versify his crop—raise wheat, oats
corn and hogs as well as some
cotton.

Well. John, we are glad to art
you back. Hope you had a good
time."
Well. pap. 1 rekou I did. I've

and Mangum, and I'm just here to
tell you rite now Mangum am the
place O' She i* a sight. I went
to a show or somethiu of that kind,
I kaut tell what it wu*, only it
tuck a dollar to git in. I wu/ set
tin thai waitin fur the clown to
cone out when I looked at the
! door ami I seed somethin cumin ah
black as ink with feathers on it, I
nowed I hadn't never seed nothin
like it fore and when it got doner I
saw thar wu/ a woman under it.
She had it roped to the l>ack of her
head and it stood up l»out two foot
bove her head. Thar wuz a little
fellow followin her bout a rod off.
That wu* bout as close ns he could
git to her. she had on a kind of a
dresh stuff looked like it wud make
hue Sunday shirts. I guess she
Innight all there was and just let it
drag long behind her. Well, she
finally took a seat rite in front of
me and Iwgan to draw in her calico
and pile it up in her lap and when
she got through she looked like a
counter in a dry goods store. Well
sir, I couldn't see nothin fur the
business she had on her head. I
called one of them fellows what
shows you your seat and axed him
if I mite move and he said, no sir.
1 told him if he would give me my
dollar I would go home, but I had
to stay. But after awhile a red-
headed, bald-faced clown came out
and said, ladies, please remove your
hats. Well sir, if you had seen
that lady trying to get that business
off her head you would have died.
She could not get her hands high
enough to pull the stake pins out
and a lady sitting by her helped
her and they both finally got it
down. Well, the old clown he told
bout a nigger sittin down on a bum-
ble bee and Mr. Bumblebee invited
him to arise and he did, then bout
some fellows drinkiu and goin home
late, the clock struck one and his
wife struck two and he struck the
western hemisphere, then every-
body lafed and went home. I seed
next mornin a big crowd goin in a
place and seed men runniu in and
out like somethin wuz the matter
and I run up and when I got thar
it was nuthin but Slim & Shorty
and their clerks carrying stuff in
and out. One man wud buy a
stove, another meat, flour, nails
and everything. Laud sakes, it
wuz good as any show to see them
fellows juggle stuff in and out like
the shuttle to a machine. My
head began to swim, I got a dimes
worth of Star and here I am. But
when you want to buy anything go
to Mangum, look for the sign, Slim
& Shorty and go in, they will do
the rest.

(.iillett, the former Kansas cattle king,
s back in Parral, from a three weeks'
visit in New York and Washington.
This is his first visit to the United
States since he fled from Kansas City.

dent Diaz in his new arrangements

Seattle, Wash., Nov. 5, — Twelve
sticks of dynamite, done up in two
packages with split fuses attached all
ready to light, were found concealed
in the toilet room of the Interurbnr.
depot in this city. There was enough
of the explosives to have blown np all
the buildings within a radius of. two

distance of ten blocks from the depot.
Italy la PlMMd.
Rome, Nov. 10.—The formation of
the new republic of Panama and it*
recognition by the United States is
looked upon with satisfaction all over
Italy. Old disputes between Italy aim
Colombia have never been settled, a>
the latter always succeeded in eluding
ite obligations to the Italian govern-
ment. Italy has therefore hastened to
recognize the new republic in the hope
of contributing to the establishment of
order iu Central America and of
hastening the building of the Panama
canal.
