The Herald owes an apology to J. 0.
Putmun. We doh't deal much in this
apology business but when we saddle
upon a good oli line Republican the
stigma of ueinocrncy we reel tliat it is
justly due him nnd feel fortunate at
getting oil that easy. Last week we
made mention that J. C. Putman was
the newly chosen deputy treasurer ol
Texus county to assist Jack Flanagan.
What we meant to say was that II. E
tf. Putman was the gentleman who wilt
assist Jack in relieving the taxpayers
of their surplus currency this fall. As
We mentioned before we feel that
under the circumstances wo think this
apology is due. H. E. G. is a good fel-
low all right but his brand of politics
doesn't wash wth the Herald. Guy-
mon Herald.
It is simple when you rise in the
morning to form the resolution to
make the day a happy one to a fellow
creature. It is .easily done ; .a left-off
garment to the man that needs it ; a
kind word to the sorrowful ; an encour-
aging expression to the striving trifles
in themselves as light as air will do
it at least for twenty-four hours ; and
if you depend upon it that it will tell
when you are old rest assured that it
will send you gently and happily down
tho stream of time to eternity. Look
at the result. You send one person
only one-rhnppily through the day;
that is three hundred and sixty-five in
the course of the year and you have
made 14000 human beings happy at
least for a time. Now worthy reader
is not this simple? We do not often
indulge in a moral dose but this is so
small a pill that no one needs currant
jelly to disguise its flavor and it re-
quires to be taken but once a day that
we feel warranted in prescribing it. It
is most excellent for digestion and a
promoter of pleasant slumber.
"A few years ago" remarked George
Whittakcr of Madison Oklahoma "u
person could ride 10 miles and not see
a house in that country whero I am
living. But how different it is now!
A family is located on almost every
quarter section. That may seem
strango to persons not acquainted with
that country. Many people imagine
that wo are living out there on the
broad prairies many miles apart while
tho very opposite conditions exist
With this-settling up of the country we
are making many substantial improve-
ments alfo. This was porhaps the
best year in the history of that part of
the new state. Our crops generally
were good. The forage yield was a
bip; one supplying every farmer with
ff ed for his stock. Then we raised a
fairly good wheat and corn crop and
this fall the wheat is looking green and
nice having made a good start. In no
place'in all that country aro farmers
overstocked and tho supply will be
well cared for." Drover's Telegram.

CUPID'S BUSY WEEK.
Weddings Galore and Alany
Hearts Alade Happy This
Thanksgiving Week.
LtaitTFooT Shook.
Mr. Art Lightfoot and Miss Maudo
Shook two of Beaver's most popular
young people were united in the Holy
bonds of matrimony at M.o homo of
Rev. and Mrs. Leonard on Wednesday
evening November 27th 1907 the Rev".
Leonard orilciating.
What moro appropriate time could
there be for the union of henrts than at
this season when the hearts of the
whole world are going out to their fcl-
lowmen in Thanksgiving. Love is tho
foundation of all that is good and pure
and the basis for all thankfulness.
The brido has been a resident of this
section for about a year and just re-
cently acquired title to lOOacrcs of our
virgin soil. She is a young lady of ma-
ny graces of mind'nnd person who is
capable of filling the home she will
auornwith happiness and will prove to
be truly a helpmate and companion to
the husband she has chosen to honor
with her hand.
The groom is one of our best young
men and he is considered by a host of
friends as one of the substantial and
"oming young men of the county. For
the past several years he has hold a po-
sition as clerk at Bulick t Co.'s mer-
can'ile establishment and lie is always
spoken of as a reliable and trustworthy
young man of good habits and' honest
and industrious.
The congratulations on tho happy
event are numerous and this paper is
greatly pleased on this occasion to add
its hearty good wishes to those being
so freely extended.
Savage-Maple
Another wedding occurred at the
country homo of Rev. and Mrs. W. B.
Leonard on Monday evening Decem-
ber 2nd 1007. The contracting parties
were Miss Jennie Maple and Mr.
Johh Savago. "
Rev. Leonard officiated and tied the
knot and pronounced the cermony
which united the lives of chese estim-
able young people of our city. .
The wedding was a quiet one and
witnessed only by thebrother and sis-
ter of the brido. Tho brido was one of
our choicest young ladies. From a lit-
tlo girl sho grew up in our midst she
has ever been a bright star in her home
circle and now she has gone to reign
as queen in her own homo. She was
regarded as an accomplished and at-
tractive young woman being held in
high esteem by her girl friends.
The groom well everybody knows
John. Ho has been a resident of Beav-
er county so long ho can't remember
when he came. Ho has been identified
with various business and official work
and has always proven himself equal
to any emergency. In fact Mr. and
Mrs. Savago are both too well known
to need any introduction to our readers.
This event marks the mot important
mile-stone in life. Another home is
made nnd a new start in life is com
menced under tho most favorable cir-
cumstances. Wo wish for them a long
lifo and bespeak for them much happi-
ness. In this wo are joined by their
egionof friends

A jolly crowd of Beaver young peo-

sions by rousing charivaris and mado

cousracting parties until the custo.

by-the-way were not long withjheld.
Everything was done in tho best of

Where to Pa 1907 Taxes.
Dear Editor:
I notice a clipping from tho
Kenton News printed in Cimarron
county which states Mint the taxes for
the year 1007 have not bcon extended
for Cimarron county and for the tax-
payers not to send their taxes to the
treasurer of Beaver county.
The taxes of all of old Beaver county
are payable at Heaver
The act of March 11 1F07 which is
section 5913 and GO! I of Wilson's stat-
utes 100:1 provides: "That whenever
any cotfnty Inn heretofore -or may be
hereafter organized in this territory
after the first day of January and be
fore the first day of July in nny year
property in that county shall be sub-
ject to assessment and taxation there-
in for that year."
So ns Texas and Cimarron counties
were not organized until November
and after July the first the tax was
assessed and is collectable in Old Bea-
ver county and after paying nil claims
contracted prior and due up to and in-
cluding Novebiber 10 1007 tho re-
mainder of the funds if '' "f the
county funds will be divided pro-rata
between the three counties ns may be
provided by the legislature and il
they fall to provide a method then i
petition must be filed before tho su
promo court for a settlement of the
county division affairs.
The county authorities should exam-
ine the law as it now exists and not bi
mislead as it can and will only lead t
confusion and expense to the taxpayer

per call duly published.
Tho meeting was called to order bj

A Dcspisable Crime .
One of tho most heinous crimes
which lias ever been brought to our
attention was that committed at the
Beaver cemetery tho past week and
one for which no mercy should be
shown the perpetrator should he be
discovered. Some miscreant without
tho fear of man or God in their heart
visited tho most sacred bpot in all
Beaver County tho Beaver cemetery
recently and maliciously and co-
wardly defaced a number of the monu-
ments which mark the resting place o!
loved ones by battering them with
rocks and stones and in some instances
even breaking thu stones beyond re-
pair. Can anyono imagine a moro atro
cious or dastardly crime and who
would havo dreamed that fair Beaver
County sheltered within her borders
one so devoid oi all principle or re-
spect for the dead as to commit such
an unpardunoble sin. AVc mention the
occurrence with sorrow and with a
tinge of shame that wo must chronicle
such a heinous occurrence in our im-
mediate vicinity. Wo are almost
ashamed to own that wo live in a com-
munity that harbors such a monster as
would commit such a crime. No effort
should be spared to locate tho guilty
party and if found he should be given
the limit of the law. Such a one de-
serves tho gallows and if he continues
in this way ho will no doubt in the end
reap his just deserts.

SOME STATEMENTS
REGARDING NEW THEORY
Followers of Cooper and His Novel Ideas Give
Reason for Their Belief in Him.
With a theory that human health Is
dependent on tho stomach and with a
mcdlclno which ho says proves this
theory L. T. Cooper a comparatively
young man has Imlll tip an Immeniso
following during tho past year.
Coopor has visited most of tho lead-
ing cities of tho country nnd in each
city has aroused a storm of discussion
about hb bellofs nnd his medicines.
Whorovor ho has gone pcoplo have
called upon him by tons of thousands
and his preparation hns sold in lin-
monso quantities.
Tho salo of this tnedlclno 1ms now
spread over tho entlro country and is
growing enormously each day. In view
of this tho following statements from
two of tho great number of followers
which ho now has aro of gonoral in-
terest. Miu Agnes Viggonhousor of 942 St.
Louis Avenue Chicago has tho follow
ing to say on tho subject of tho Coopor
preparations: For moro than ton
years I was broken down in health. I
could not sleep and I wob very- ner-
vous. Gradually I began to loso my
memory until I could not rcmembor
things from one day to another. I had
sovero pains and cramps in my body
and I would at times seo darlc spots
beforo my oyes. I was unablo to do
any work whatever as my strength
was falling. I had no appetite nor
could I tako any medicine.
"I had about given up hopoof ovor
being well again .when I read ot Mr
Interest Does Not Lag.
Great interest is still being mani-
fested in tho proposed railroad for
Beaver and stock continues to bo lib-
jrally subscribed. Tlio jpeoplo are
coming to undeistnnd thu plan better
and seo whore it is entirely feasible

interest by liberal subscriptions to

The quarterly conference reports on

Is as follows: "I havo had stomach
troublo for years and anyone who !
ainictcd this way knows what an awful
distressed feeling it causes. Many a
tlmo I havo felt that I would give most
any prlco to bo cured. It was by ac-
cident that I heard ot this man
