The regular term of the Lincoln
county district court meets on Mon-
day September 4.
It takes very much of a gentleman
to be polite to a cow in fly time.
No, Maude, there is no difference
between a thirsty doctor and a dry
dock.
The state encampment will begin
at Chandler on Monday September
4. A large attendance is expected.
It is reported that the peach crop
this^year in Michigan will be the
lajgest ever harvested there.
The news that a man and his wife
had frozen to death on Pike's Peak
last week brings to mind that life is
just one thing after another. The
same day heat prostration killed a
number in other places.
Miss Bessie Dodd is quite sick with
the fever at the home of her sister,
Mrs. W. T Powell, south of town.
We hope to hear of Miss Bessie's
•peedy recovery, and her many
friends will regret to hear of her
illness.—Osage City Herald.
The winter is the rainy season in
southern California, and the farther
north you go the greater the precip-
itation, only it is both rain and
snow. A weather report from Val-
des half way up the west coasts of
Alaska is interesting. For the past
ten years the average snowfall has
been a little over 31 feet. In the
winter of 1902-3 55 feet of snow fell.
Fourteen feet fell one year durng
the single month of February Very
little snow fell the past winter—only
12 1-2 feet.
In almost every community may-
be found one or more individuals to
whom it appears that nothing, either
of a public or private nature, is done
right. They either find fault with
the act itself and condemn it, or if
the act be such that they can find no
excuse to condemn it, they immedi-
ately impugn the motives of those
who accomplished the act. This
class do not often accomplish much
or do a great deal of injury. They
•imply make of themselves a pest-
iferous nuisance. I notice that this
habit soon becomes chronic.—Cush-
ing Democrat.
What is Usury.
In your issue of August 18th ult.,
there was a little article in regard
to usury. Usury, as I understand
It is charging interest in excess of 10
per cent per anumn. It matters not
what the debt is for borrowed money,
borrowed potatoes or a delinquent
grocery bill, and when a taxpayer
becomes delinquent on his taxes he
becomes a debtor to the county, just
the same as any other debt, and what
right has the county to charge 18 per
cent per anumn on delinquent taxes
any more than a money lender has
to charge usury on the extended
paymeht of a debt?
A Reader.
Governor Cruce, while personally
opposed to calling a special sessioh
of the legislature for the purpose of
redisricting the state, will do so if
a majority of the members favor it,
and give what he believes to be good
and sufficient reasons for the session.
The governor'has written to each
member concerning the conte mplated
call.
Headrick Leader: While the gov
erment has been trying to be gord-
to the Indians, it is safe to say that
there is a multitude of vampires and
leeches who have been scheming for
years to defraud the red man out of
his just rights in Oklahoma. Miss
Kate Barnard,commissioner of char-
ites and corrections, has got a lot of
them on the run, with a prospect that
some of them may be lodged behind
the bars. We hope no guily one may
escape.
Ever Think About It?
Nowadays when a man falls in
love with another man's wife, that is
affinity, but when a man falls in love
with your wife, that's different. If
you stand on the corner and make
ugly remarks about another man's
daughter, that's fun, but when It hap-
pens to be your daughter, that's
scandal. So it is all along the line.
It makes a lot of difierence whose
wife or daughter it is and which way
you peel the bark. Ever think about
it?
Says the New State Tribune : If
each township in the state would
make it a rule to make at least two
miles of goods road in their precinct
each year, how long would it take to
have good roads throughout the
state? Any township may do this
with very little exertion. Try it and
see how soon wonders can be accom-
plished.
It may be true, as claimed that
here are as many microbes on a dol-
lar bill as on a fly, but you don't
have to fight off a dollar bill to keep
it from lighting on you.
Jesse Bennett, a farmer of the Salt
Creek neighborhood, was shot and
killed about noon yesterday on the
streets of Grainola by Austin Griffin.
Griffin had been employed by Bennett
as a farm hand and Bennet is said to
have been jealous of him. This
makes the eighth killings in Osage
county since statehood.
Oklahoma will be thrown into the
throes of a local option fight for the
third time since statehood. Contrary
to the othej two times, the state local
option association claims that they
have an organization that will change
this "near dry" state into the ranks
of the "wets."
"Mamma," asked the little boy,
'•who are the Highwaters?"
"Highwaters?" says mother, "I
don't know any such family. Why
do you ask?"
"Well, I heard Mr. Perkins ask
papa if he'd be over to the little
game tonight and papa said he'd be
there in spite of Helen Highwater."
A farmer in Indina recived a letter
one day from a Black Hand which
read :
"If you do not give me one thou-
and dollars I will kill your wife !"
The man wrote back.
"Nothing doing in the money lins
but your proposition interests me."
Do not try to invent a new excuse
for going to a ball game. Any old
excuse will do
Is There a Reason?
Do you know of any reason why
you should not have an account at
this bams? We think of rone Is
it because you have no money?
We think not for everyone must
have some money in order to live
Is a bank account inconvenient?
It is much handier to write a check
than to lug around a lot of cash
Isn't it safe? Well, yes, since
there is no possible way of losing
it if you have your money in the
bank. Vault is fire proof—every-
thing is insured against burglary
and daylight hold-up, it is safe,
most convenient, requires no great
capital. In addition there are the
many advantages of a bank ac-
count for which the customer pays
nothing. An account on your
earnings, saving an expenses is
ever at hand. Your returned
checks ever serve you as receipt
for the bills you have paid. Yes
wthout the shadow of a doubt EV-
ERYONE should have a bank ac-
count.
