I We Are Still Herei
| DOING BUSINESS IN THE •
I SAME OLD WAY.
In fact there is only one way to do business, and
that is strictly on the square, giving honest values
for your money and charging only a fair, reasona-
ble profit on the goods. We have proved this by
our line of satisfied customers. We are not adver-
tising great bargains and selling our goods below
cost, but We are giving you a bargain in every pur-
chase when quality and price are considered. We
cannot tell you of the merits of our goods, it would
take too long, we can show you better. Our line of
Huiskam's Shoes has gained the reputation as the
leading shoe on the market wherever placed.

The greatest-surprise > sprung
on the public fot many a day
was the message of Gov. Cruce
commuting the sentence of death
to life imprisonment, passed
on the negro boy, Prather, for
the murder of W. H. Archie at
Oklahoma City. The condemned
black had donned his grave
clothes and a few minutes more
would have sta/ted to the scaf-
fold when Sheriff Spain received
the governor's message.
The news spread like a scan-
dal, and the people were anger-
ed almost beyond control at the
governor's action, but we be-
lieve after more mature deliber-
ation his course will be applaud-
ed by a majority of fair minded
people. While the criminal was
a veritable brute, devoid of any
apparent human sensibilities or
moral ideals, yet he was a self-
fessed murderer and without
iend or council and his confinc-
ient for life will answer all de-
lands of society.
ReV. T. C. Jbnta will preach
his departing sermon on next
Sunday morning pt eleven oclock
in the Methodist church, as he
expects to leave Monday for
Chicago 111. where he will lec-
tur© on "Jones From Oklahoma"
From Chicago he goes to Was-
hington D. C. to lecture, from
there to his home in Baltimore
Md. where he will visit his par-
ents at their home at that place.
From Aug. 20th to the 30tji he
will conduct a ten days meeting
at Willington, Md. On Sept. 6th
he will take unto himself a part
ner in life and return from New
York via Steamboat to Galveston
then by rail to Blair,1 arriving
in this hustling town about the
middle of Sept. Every body must

ception on his return with his

day morning the drys were swa-
mped by overflowing majority.
Four miles of railroad just north
of us was under water, and Mr.
Edwards who is cultivating the
Kamenzind farm on Bitter Creek
took a fright at the conditions
that surrounded himself and
family, and waded through wat-
er two feet deep to get to high-
er ground.
A Difference In The Standard
In a speech at Austin just be-
fore the prohibition election in
Texas, Govenor Colquit is cred-
ited with the following remarks:
"If you close up the saloons
here, you will open up a minia-
ture bar room in nearly every
good home in Austin. 1 know that
because I have been to Oklahoma
. , where prohibition has been trie d.
This country has gone wet sev- No sooner than you enter a

are invited to have a drink. In-
stead of a man serving you, the
good, tweet housewife mixes the
toddy and puts the mint in it"
You can easily tell the crowd
a fellow runs with by the way
he talks. There are houses, not
homes, where such conditions
exist as described by the hon-
orable governor of Texas, but
here we call the inmates by an
other name.
For downright eff;ontery, the
instance of the Brewers Associ-
ation offering Texas $500,000
annually not to contest the late
election is the most unmittigated
that evfr came to our notice. If
this association had an individu-
ality, this act alone would merit
a monument of bronze erected to
the memory of the most consum
mate knave of its day and gener-
ation.

Leon Jennings Entertains.
Last Thursday afternoon Leon,
at the home of his parents in
the western part of town, enter-
tained a number of his friends
it being his tenth birthday.
The evening was spent in play-
ing ball and other games, and
was closed with refreshments,
which were enjoyed as only
those can enjoy whose hearts are
young and lives are new.
The occasion will be pleasant-
ly rememberd by those present
and all wish him many more oc-
casions of the same kind.

The business men and ginners
at Blair are planning to capture
a large trade for that town this
fall. From the looks of the Blair
Progress, it seems that the mer-
chants of that place are doing a
good business at this time, for
that paper carries more "ads"
of merchants than any other
paper in the county.

The Daily Oklahoman regrets
very much that the majority in
the Texan election was not more
decisive, that the prohibition
question might not again disturb
our neighbor to the south for a
generation or more. Yet this
same journal that is so solicitous
pence and harmony in Texas fav-
ors another prohibition campaign
in Oklahoma, although a year
ago the pros won the state by
what was thought to be a dec-
isive majority. According th the
Oklahoman.only a large anti vic-
tory should Bettle the question.
