' Marshal Thompson will take hi9
deputies with him to Philadelphia
The marshal has the price of his en-
thusiasm. Oveii at Enid Sly Oberlander has
just allowed his mule to kick him again
because be could think of nothing bet-
ter to do.
It develops that McKinley signed the
free homes bill with two pens using
one in each hand. Pettigrew got one.
Flynn the other.
Habbt Gbimes and Bill Thompson
are chasing up and down the Rock
Island railroad yelling "L'etat
moi."
e'est
We wouldn't blame the governor
a bit if he should decide to (throw
Alva down and take that normal
away from her.
mmm It js said the national administra-
tion is preparing to resent the selfish-
ness of the federal office-holders who
have had themselves elected dele-
gates to the Philadelphia convention.
Whek JVoods county asks the legis
lature for a fresh appropriation for
the Alva Normal Governor Barnes
will be in a position to let the other
fellows do all the worrying.
Ik opposing the candidacy of Dick
Morgan President McKinley even
went" so far as to say "Senator"
Flynn. "Inasmuch as ye have done
one of the least of these my brethren
ye have also done me."

Jake Adiiirb offered his paper free
for live years if the free homes bill
passed. Now Jake is mad. The hot
tear fries upon his cheek. Nearly all
the farmers have proved up and the
big gob of usufruct that he longed for
will never come.
r
Gcthhie is too notariously wide
"nwalfe and possesses too many watch
dogs to be tripped up on any private
publis proposition. The council may
as well let the private sewerage prop-
osition rest in peace right now. The
people will not stand for it.
 Once more the Capital twangs its
lyre and dwells with splendid scorn
on the chicanery of Grimes and the
 baseness of Woods county. 'Tis truly
sad. Ingratitude thy name is Woods
county. There is no meaner thing in
life. Barrp.bas AH Baba all the most
engaging devils of history have felt
thy dastard fang. It is with tyrants
e'mperors and kings as with pirates
brigands and freebooters. Marat had
his Corday the governor has his Woods
county. It is infamous. The teDacles
of one's 7ery soul must reach out and
try to grapple with their woe.
If you are a citizen who favors pub-
lic enterprises: if you wish to see the
capital city push forward; if you de-
.light in seeing new and stately build-
ings erected in the city; if you would
continue to make Guthrie a good place
o live in you have a duty.'to perform
here and now. At the pricr of a good-
Clyjfortune the t Scottish Kite Masons
have erected a temple; they have not
eskejl for one cent of tribute. The
"building is completed and will be op-
ened to the public i-aturday night.
The Guthrie club as an appreciation
of the work of the Masons has volun-
teered tora!so tha funds necessary for
installing a new pip organ in the tem-
ple. The club asks the cltizeuB to
tmbtscribe a small amount to this orgao
fund. 'For the money so subscribed

Cures those eruptions boils and pimples which are so likely to appear in the
Spring; cures scrofulous diseases in their most tenacious forms; cures salt rheum or
eczema with its dreadful itching and burning; cures all stomach troubles due to
generally weak condition and impure blood; cures debility sick headache and
44 that tired feeling' which just as surely indicate that the blood is lacking in
vitality and the elements of health. Hood's Sarsaparilla
SIXTEES TO OSE.
When the phrase 16 to 1 is used
the hearer instantly associates it with
the financial fight of 1S8G and thinks
that reference is made to the ratio be-
tween gold and silver. But in this
instance it has another meaning and is
applied to the 18 to 1 reasons why
Bryan will be elected president this
year instead of McKinley. These
reasons are to the point:
1. The Republican' currency meas-
ure is enough to sink any party.
2. The people will have a bimetalic
president and in Bryan they know
they have one.
3. Bryan is a man of the people a
Democrat in the truest sense of the
term.
4. The people used a people's man
to save them from the money trust a
Jackson and Bryan is Jacksonlan
from tip to tip.
5. The people need a new Lincoln
to free them from industrial slavery
and Bryan is that man.
G. The people need a Washingtonian
president who will enforce the con-
stitution of the United States and not
trail the flag of freedom in the dust
and Bryan is the man who rings the
bell of freedom that the people want
to hear ring.
The people need a man who will
enforce measures to smash the trusts i
and Bryan is a smasher.
S. The anti imperialists are going to
vote for him.
9. The gold Democrats are coming
back.
10. The Populists are for him.
11. The Silver Republicans are going
to work for him.
12. Treasurer Gage has worked for
him and so has Mr. Hepburn.
13. Hanna helps a heap too
14. The Republicans are on the de-
fensive. 15. The people believe in Bryan and
this includes the traveling salesmen.
16. "The stars in their courses are
fighting for him" which means to my
mind that he is in the stream of Di-
vine Providence.
This list of reasons why Bryan will
be the next president of the United
States are all cogent. Many more
could be added to the list but that
would spoil the application of the 1G
to 1 idea.
INTEREST IS SEIV TOXIC'S VOTE.
Interest in the presidential vote in
New York is growing greater as the
time for the campaign draws near and
Democrats are becoming more confi-
dent that the Empire State will swing
in line for the candidate who repre-
sents the people's cause. New York
for the last twenty years has swung
from one side to the other with the
regularity of a pendulum. In the last
double decade New York haB gone
Democratic ten times and nine times
have the Republicans won vhile last
year there was no general election.
The following table of statistics
shows these results plainly.

lMfJ Pres.dent 45.518
1897 Judge 60.889
Discussing these figures the New
York World says:
Thus the Republicans carried the
state for Grant by 53524 in 1872 and
tho Democrats elected Tilden gover-
nor by almost the same plurality two
years later. Cleveland carried the
state for governor by the enormous
plurality of 192654 in 1882. and the
Republicans elected the secretary of
state tho very next year by 185h3.
Harrison received a plurality of 13000
for president in 1888 while Hill car-
ried the state for governor at the same
election by 10.171.' To cap the climax
McK'nley had tho unprecendented
plurality of 208402 in 1896 and the
Democrats elected Parker chief jus-
tice the very next year by the hand -some
plurality of 00889. And Roose-
velt with all his military prestige
and bis high personal character to
help him won only by a scratch in
1807 due as
is Senator. Piatt Baid after
 to Croker'a action in 'op-4
the election
position to the independence of the
judiciary."' Under ordinary political
conditions New York is always a
doubtful state. It is important that
it should be swung into line this year
for Democaacy. Its electoral vote is
greater than the combined vote of
Colorado Idaho Montana Utah Ne
braska Utah. Washington and Wyom-
idg. This being the case the national
democratic party should endeavor to
make a platform which will attract
the support of New York."
Bryan is acceptable to the Empire
state and with a wisely constructed
platform the Democrats can secure its
thirty-six electoral votes.
Bill Grimes is the architect of his
own fortunes. He got his building
permit from Flynn.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease requires a con
6titutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally acting direct
ly upon tap diooq ana mucous sur
faces of the system thereby destroy-
ing the foundation of the disease and
giving the patient strength by build-
lng up the constitution and
assisting
nature in doing its work. The pro-
prietors have 60 much faith in its
curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for a list of testi-
