are as follows: Mayor, $100 per
month; Clerk $50.00 per month;
Treasurer $25.00 per month; Cily
Attorney $20.00 per month and
fees in criminal convict iona when
fine is pa'id; Chief of Police

missioner $7500 pur month, he
to give all his time to the city
work, and the Aldermen $2.00
for each meeting at wMch they
are present.
In considering the salary of
the Mayor it was remembered
th; t the Mayor is required to
perform the duties of Police
Justice and that ho receives no
for this, as the Police Jus-
Jythn to has. These fees
. -i<) .in ted to considerable
the Inst six or eight months.
Now instead of the magistrate
•«enivirr them they are turned
nv he Oity Treasury. Taking
this in'o consideration the salary
of the Mayor does not seem so
Inr-e Tf he does liis duty he
will even it. His duties are mul-
tiple, his responstfblities great and
the police court will take a good
share of his time.
As usual the water question
came up for discussion. The
principle complaint was that the
work on the well was not be*iiig
pushed. By resolution the City
Engineer was instructed to notify
the contractor to immediately get
to work and push the well to
completion. It is said that it
can be completed in three or
four days-
The counc'il then adjourned to
meet at Moose Hall next Monday
evening. The change in meeting
place was made on account of
lights, etc. It is only tempor-
ary, as the council will meet in
♦h*» City Hall shortly.
To All Members Of A- H. T. A.
The local order will meet on
Friday night. It is important
that all members be in attend-
ance- They will meet in the
room formerly used by them over
the First National Bank.
All who wish to remain in
good standing should he pre-
•ent.

Home Again.
Dr. M. B. Furrow has reached
home after two months absence.
One of these months was spent
in Chicago and one in Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania-
During his absence the doctor
represented the Arkansas and
Oklahoma Fruitgrowers Associa-
tion as selling agent. He re-
ports a very successful season,
disposing of the fruit easily at
good prices and making money
for the members of the associa-
tion. The doctor reports how-
ever, that the fruit was not of
as high class as in former years.
Dr. Furrow will resume the
practice of his profession, having
associated with him his brother
Dr. Clias. Furrow, who has been
here for some weeks. They
They have just placed in their
office a new nitrouis-hydrogen
machine of the very latest mod-
el, which will be used in the ex-'
traction of teeth.
Dr- Furrow came home, via,
Guthrie, visiting his mother who
was dangerously ill but it now
improving.

may not have a clear idea of
what a United Charities Associa-
tion is, briefly it is this:
Business men and citizens join
themselves together and maintain
a central point from which to
distribute their charity. The plan
is this. Each member will receive
a card stating that he or she is
a member of the association-
When appealed to for help, the
applicant is referred to the office
of the association. The repre-
sentative of the association will
investigate, and if the applicant
is found worthy, aid will be
given.
The economy, and the efficacy
of the plan will be at once reco-
gnized. The worthy will receive
assistance and the donor will be
saved time and money.
We sincerely hope that the or-
ganization will be effected.
Large amounts are being ex
pended in charity in Cushing to-
day- It ought to be systemati-
cally handled.
It is also proposed to operate
an employment bureau. This
will also be a great convenience,
enabling both employers to find
help and those seeking employ
ment to find it. It also fits in
nicely with the charity wroki
While it is not proposed to
make the employment bureau a
money making affair, there will
be some expense attached to it
and small foes will be charged.

the superior court Tuesday
against the Cnuxiimcis Refining
company and T. C. Hutchinson
for $30,000 damages for the
death of her husband W. L. Mc-
Laughlin-
It is claimed that McLaughlin
was killed by a gas explosion at
the plant of the company in
Payne county, September 5, 1913.
Hutchison is alleged to have
been the foreman of the plant.
The plaintiff claims that the
deceased was a fireman in the
employ of the company and that
it was his duty to light fires un-
der the boilers. It is claimed
that he lighted the fire nnder a
boiler September 5th, and that
gas in an adjoining boiler had
heen carelessly left flowing by
the foreman. An explosion i>
stated to have taken place, in-
stantly killing McLaughlin.

The Weekly Citizen is late th'is
week, hut it was not the fault of
the publishers. We were held up
ihrough no act of ours but of
mother. But dirty tricks do not
win out in the long run, and
this one also failed in its pur-
pose.

wis there. a« an electrie light
ighied the room somewhat, but
*»oi until Mr. Newby had accn
him. Mr. Newby called up Mr*
\'a«h, who waa soon on the
/round:
Meanwhile Corbin. not deterred
by the fact that he was prevent-
•d from enteilng the Newby
?i|«ce, turned his attention to the
Perry Storage, in the same block,
for good things there, were

him work, and upon the arrival

.villi the result that Corbin waa
■aught just as lie was taking out
the second sack of sugar.
Corl in was promptly arreated
mil placed in the city jail. He
will be taken to Stillwater thia
afternoon.
■ The time of the robbery was
bout 12:45 o'clock. This an im-
ortant arrest as 'it js likely to
put an end to this kind of crimc
n Cushing, for n time at. least-
There seems little doubt that
Sorbin has been connected with
•tome of the others. He has had
rouble before and 'is at present
inder sf'500.00 bond for an at-
tempted theft of the "Katy"
ash drawer some time ago.
Many have tried to get "Bob"
to go right. Leniency and en-
ouragement have been shown
im time and again. Being a
ood worker he could always
have had employment. He has
had a chance, but he "would
lot." He must now suffer the
onseqnences of his own acts*
'^rom the indications and the
ircumstances there is no escape
from the penalty. A useful life
was before him but he seems to
perfer one of enforced servitude.
So may it be.
We have a lot more fine prices
to offer members later this fall.
But this County Contest is what
we are urging now.
Bring in your corn, cotton,
pig, sewing, canning, and cook-
ing and make Payne County the
best of all- It *ill pay you big.
If you get your exhibit here by
the morning of the. 18th you get
free ticket to the whole fair.
