of the katydid, and the hoot of
f the prairie owl. The prairie dog
j«t up and took notice, in the
daytime, while at night the
skulking coyote reared back on
hia hunkers and made the night
hideous with his soprano voice.
This is what greeted the first
number of the Cockier. As the
town advanced so did the Cour-
ier. It was at all times putting
forth its best efforts in building
Eldorado. When a hard-tack
looked like a loaf of fresh-baked
bread to us, we spoke encourag-
ing words. When the wind blew
hard enough to transfer a Kansas
mortgage to a piece of land in
Oklahoma, we spoke of the balmy
weather, with ladies out in silk
shirtwaists, and crops never bet-
ter. With numerous cuffs and
knocks we pulled through, with
j one whole pair of suspenders and
I an extra pair of "noiseless"
socks. The business men have
been generous to the Courier,
enabling us to enlarge our print-
ing plant, and otherwise become
materially beneficial to the town.
We hope that the future patron-
age will continue as in the pas..
Our aim at all times is to push
and pull for the advancement ot
Eldorado and surrounding coun-
try, and we hope it will never be
said that the town is a dead cne,
owing to a lack of newspaper en-
terprise. At the end of the sixth
year it is hoped that a cylinder
press, and other needed improve-
ments, will be found in our office.
1 With a continuation of the past
pa ronage, an1 the present grow-
ing business, these results will
be attained.

too. He says he will be a

(Signed)
"Lucile Anderson."
This was the message sent by
the little daughter of William
January, aliaa Charles W. Ander-
son, who was pardoned last week
from the Kansas penitential? by
President Roosevelt.
Eleven years ago Anderson
was convicted of robbing an Ok-
lahoma postoffice and sentenced
to the penitential f»r three
years. Aftcrserving two yean,
he escaped and went to Kansas
City, Mo., where he assumed the
name of Anderson and married.
Last April he was detected by an
ex-convict and given away.
While out of prison he conducted
himself in an honest and upright
manner, gaining the confidence
and esteem of many people of
Kansas City. When re-arrested
a petition, which it is said car-
ried the largest number of signa-
tures ever appended to an appeal,
was forwarded to President
Roosevelt. Among the petition-
ers were the names of the Okla-
homa judge who sentenced An-
derson. and the attorney who
prosecuted him. The petition
carried the signatures of 50,000
people. When Anderson arrived
at his home in Kansas City his
little girl bursting with overjoy,
penned the foregoing note and
forwarded it to President Roose-
velt.

The recent fire at Chillicothe,
[Texas, in which a couple of
blocks of buildings were burned,
is a warning to Eldorado. Had
Chillicothe any fire protection
several thousands of dollars would
have been saved. Eldorado has
not even a bucket brigade.
Should fire start in any of the
frame buildings, the whole busi-
ness portion is in danger of com-
plete destruction. Many of our
business men would be ruined.

FRANTZ WILL BE NOMINATED.
From every schoolhouse and
town where republican conven-
tions have been held, resolutions
have been passed supporting
Governor Frantz for the nomina-
tion of governor. The Jackson
1 county convention, held some
time back, passed strong resolu-
tions endorsing the administra
ti°n of Frantz. With one accords
he was the choice of che conven-
tion. His past record had proved
beyond a doubt that he was the
right man in the right place.
Frantz is popular in Jackson
county, and when the time rolls
round his popularity will be
shown by the big vote rolled up
for his election as the first gov-
ernor of Oklahoma.
