Gkanitk and Altus are both
talkiug of putting in waterworks.
Mangum must not get behind in
thin matter.
The regular semi-yearly prom
iseofthe Orient railroad officials
that "work is to lie pushed vigor-
ously all along the line" has just
been made, and Altus' hopes are
again ascending.
This fall would be a good time
to spring the court house question
again. The "anties" have had a
good, long rest and it is about time
they were being worried agaiu.
Mangum's ginning capacity will
be nearly, if not quite, double this
year what it was last, but the pros-
pect is that the gins will be as bad-
ly crowded in ginning season as
they were last year.
The RK should be a good turn
out of republicans at the township
convention Saturday. This is the
year that the republican party of

And every one of the crowd of Okla-

at the time of the National Asso-
ciation meeting used every endeav-

It was a famous victory and will
be a big thing for Oklahoma.

memory sacred." When it is re-
called that the Mormon leader ha*
had aix wives, torty-two children
and five mothers-in-law—two Mrs.
j Smith* are sisters—it is evident
that he speaks with the authority-
bred of experience.
A democratic paper refers to
the death, within a few years, of
McKinley, Reed and Hanna, and
says "the republican party has no
leaders to take their placcs." This
line of comment shows a defective
comprehension of the basis of the
republican party, which is princi-
ple, sound aud virile principle; and
that, as history teaches, may al-
ways be trusted to bring capable
leaders to the front. Statesmen
pass away, some in the fullness of
years, aud others at the post of
duty, but the vacancies are suita-
bly filled as circumstances may de-
mand. Republicanism is a system
of upright, enlightened govern-
ment, not an organization resting
on the personal qualities, however
great, of individuals. At its birth
the republican party knew nothing
of its ablest leader, but in six years
singled him out and made him the
War President.—Globe Democrat.
The couuty divisionists have
been sounding Governor Ferguson
on the subject and have found him
to have very pronounced views
thereon and not at all backward
about expressing them. He gave
them very clearly to understand
that in his opinion territorial legis
latures cannot change county lines
that have been established by acts
of congress.
W. R. Hearst wants it distinct-
ly understood that he is still in the
ring as a candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for president and
that the reports to the effect that
he has withdrawn are unfounded.
He also claims that he will have
more votes on the first ballot at the
St. Louis convention than any oth-
er candidate. Democracy may
well beware of the "yellow peril. '
Thomas Morris, secretary of
the Oklahoma Livestock Sanitary
Board, says Oklahoma ships more
hogs to the Fort Worth packing
houses than the big state of Texas,
and the beauty about the Oklaho-
ma hog is that he is, for the most
part, alfalfa raised. Secretary
Morris says hogs raised on alfalfa
pasture and fed a little corn in the
fall as a finishing touch makes the
best and cheapest pork on earth.
Hogs raised and fattened in this
way cost from one cent to a cent
and a half a pound. There are
getting to be many alfalfa pastures
in Greer county, but there ought to i
be more aud more hogs raised.
The government experts who
have been engaged in the work of
studying the boll weevil with the
view of finding some way of ex-
terminating the pe.«t think they
have solved the problem. They
have discovered in Guatemala an
ant that is the natural enemy of
the weevil and seems to have been
created for the express purpose of
exterminating it. The ant is much
smaller than the weevil but it is
the greatest fighter for its siae in
the world and it would rather kill
boll Weevils than to eat. The ant
tackles the Weevil on sight, finds a
joint in tile weevil's armor at the
middle, pries it open, inserts its
poisonous stinger into the flesh and
it is soon all over with Mr. Weevil.
If the ant will work as well in Tex-
as as it does in Guatemala boll
weevil will soon be scarce in Texas.

Secretary of the Treasury Leslie
M. Shaw told thin story the other da)
apropos of a discussion aa to the pro
prlety of extending clemency to vlo
lators of the customs law wbo fur
nlsh evidence against their aasoci
ates.
It was at a school In Mr. Shaw's na-
tive state of Iowa, and one of the
boys In a class had committed some
grave infraction of discipline. The
teacher announced that he would
thrash the whole class if some one did
not tell him who had committed the
offense. All were silent, and he began
with the first boy and thrashed every-
one in the class until finally he reach-
ed the last one. Then he said:
"Now, if you will tell me who did
this, I won't thrash you."
"All right, sir. I did it," was the
reply.—New York Times.
Every republican in Mangum
township should make it a point to
attend the township convention
Saturday afternoon. The business
before the meeting will be the elec-
tion of seven delegates to the coun-
ty nominating convention and the
selection of a member of the county
central committee from Mangum
township. The republican party
is going to make a record this year
and every republican of Mangum
is earnestly urged, and all others
who are in sympathy with the re-
publican cause and its principles,
are invited, to attend and partici-
pate in this convention. The call
is for 2 p. m. at the court house.
If all will be on hand promptly it
will take but a short time to do
the work.

How He Kept H'« Seat in a Crowded

Three women stoo<l tefore him in
the crowded Chestnut street car and
glared Indignantly at the newspaper
Which he kegt spread before his faca.
This continued from Sixteenth street
to Twelfth. Then he put down the
paper and half arose.
"Take this seat, madam," he polite

The three exchanged uncertain
glancea,
"I mean the elderly lady," he still
J>olitely exclaimed.
Immediately all three of the women
turned their eyes abstractedly toward

Then the man slipped back into his

Family Conversation.
Make sure, in partaking of hospital-
ity, that you are able to discharge the
obligations it imposes. Hunt out con-

your brain, suggests a writer in the

out something when the conductor
glances your way.
I know a family In which, from
the youngest child to the son in col-
lege, each member is required to con-
tribute something to general conver-
sation at meal time. They have never
been allowed to regard this as a mere
stop for stoking the physical engine,
to be made as brief as possible. Each
treasures up some incident of the
day; no one forgets that he has met
an old friend, or even watched the
trail of the fire patrol and the excite-
ment It aroused. They have become
more observant, their sense of humor
Is sharpened in little street comedies,

that family. The mind, as well as
the body, Is refreshed.

The long continued war between j
the Union miners and the mine
operators in the Cripple Creek min
ing district was brought to a crisis
last week when a mine of dynamite,
or au infernal machine was explod-
ed beneath the platform of a rail-
way station at Independence and
fifteen persons were killed. The
district has been under marshal
law the greater part of the time for
a year and many crimes have been
committed, most of which have
been laid at the door of the min-
ers' union. After the terrible dis-
aster of last week the people be-
came aroused and joined with the
kiine owners in making war oil the
miners' union, and the result will
be that hereafter no union men will
be employed in the mines in that
district. Ninety miners were load-
ed on a special train and under
guard of Colorado state troops were
taken to withift <* half mile of the
Western Kansas 'line and there de-
posited on the prairie and told
to "hike" eastward, but be-
fore reaching the Kansas line they
met a Kansas sheriff and posse who
warned them not to come into
Kansas. They turned aud tramped
back and finally straggled into
Holly where there is a big Sal-
vation Army headquarters and the
army took the stragglers in and
cared for them. These miners
were getting from $3 to $5 per day
for eight hours work when they
went into the strike. Their places
will be taken by non-union men
and they will have to renounce the
union or hunt jobs elsewhere.
