Should the irregularities in certain

' When Hunter Township voted
on the question of leaving Kiowa
county and joining Tillman,
chargea of fraud were made and
Governor Haskell was enjoined
from issuing bis proclamation de-
claring the townahip a part of
Tillman.
The hearing came up in Judge
Huston's court at Gnthrie Thurs-

fraud sustained the contention of

Editor of the Democrat
Snyder, Oklahoma.
Dear Sir:
Will you permit me to use
little apace in yonr paper for the
purpose of congratulating the cit-
izens of Snyder upon the pro-
gressive spirit manifested in pro-
viding the women of the com-
mupity with a rest room?
In the large cities the women
find comfortable parlors, resting
rooms, writing rooms and tele-
part of phone service freely placed at
their diapoeal by the department
stores. In the small -towns,
wherever we go we find the
women wearily standing arounc
the stores, or sitting with their
children upou the benches or the
curbing.

H. W. Sears “The Tsffy Man’’
Happy is the man who finds his
mission in the" world. Dr. H.
IV. Sears found his when he be-
gan by hia lectures to drive out
the bines and rout the demons of
grumbling with hia scourge of
satire wit and hnmor. Like the
poet, the lecturer is born, not
made. Such is the inimitable
l)r. Sears, when his work, pic-
tnres, sound logic, true philoso
phy and gospel ethics, seasoned
with good spirits, pathos and
sonl-atirring eloquence. He is
Sara Jones and Dr. Willets in one
for he has the pungent sarcasm
aud brilliant gift of tlfe one and
die pathetic and inspiring power
if the other. Dr. Sears is unique
tud without a peer to entertain
and edify an andienoe on any oc
casion. He is one of the greatest
intertainers and best dr twins
cards on the lectors platform to
day. Every lectors is richer
when he is io It, and every Cha-
tauqoa program is sadly defective
when he is left out. Yon have
not heard the beat until you near
him. He is always at his best.—

that ia needed in a rest mom.
The business men of Snyder cer-
tainly deserves a great deal of
praise for providing such a com
fortable plaoe to warm and rest
after shopping. Farmers, that is
the kind of a town to take'your
wives to do their trading, where
they do not have to stand around
in some grocery store, with a
dozen men smoking and chewing

found the matron a very pleasant
