Oklahoma’* First Child—The ques
tion as to who was the first child
bom in Oklahoma after its opening
to settlement has been raised again
by a contest instituted by the man-
agement of the atate fair at Oklaho-
ma City. Mr. and Mrs. R. Cunning-
ham, of Clinton, claim the honor for
their daughter, Oklahoma Belle Cun-
ningham, who was born on May 18,
1889, only a month after the open-
ing.
The Great Musician Had No Use for
His Production.
A great tenor had been singing for
some hours Into a phonograph.
“The phonograph,” he said, “is a
wonderful thing. It almost realizes
the wish of the Scottish poet, the wish
that we might see ourselves as others
see us. We can now, at least, hear
ourselves, a thing impossible before.
The phonograph teaches us many val
uable lessons. When I was In the
army, before I realized the capabilities
of my voice, I played the flute. A
phonograph salesman brought a
phonograph to my quarters and tried
to sell It to me on the Instalment plan
I was undecided. Finally the man
took out a blank cylinder.
“ See,’ he said, rather reluctantly,
’here is a blank cylinder. You may
make a record on It. then we will run
it off and you shall hear yourself. It’s
* costly favor I am doing you. but It
will show you what a fine Instrument
this is.’
"I was delighted.
“ ‘I'll get my flute,’ I said. TH play
A flute solo.’
"Well, I played my best Into the ma-
■cline. It seemed to me that I had
nevnf combined before such feeling
with such accuracy. I was more than
pleased with myself. Then the man
pyt In the cylinder, and the music be-
gan to issue forth. I frowned.
“ ‘Ib that me?’ 1 said.
'“Yes. sir,’ raid the man.
“‘Really me, Just as I*played?'
“ 'Precisely, sir, precisely. And
now.’ said he, "do you want to buy the
phonograph ?’
“’No,’ said I; ‘J want to sell the
flule.’*'’
Wisdom of Solomon.
In a dog case at Felixstowe, Eng-
land, ope witness testified that the
<log whoso Joss was being sued for
was worth 8125, while another swore
1t was worthless. So the Judge award-
ed |62.50 damages as a fair average.

OLD SOAKERS
Get Saturated with Caffeine.
When a person has used coffee fora
number of years and gradually de-
clined In health, It Is time the coffee
should be left off In order to see
whether or not it has been the
cause of the trouble.
A lady In Huntsville, Ala., says she
used coffee for about 19 years, and for
the past CO years has had severe
atomaeh trouble. ”! have been treat-
ed by ninny physicians but all In vain.
Everything fail'd to give relief. Was
prostrated for some time, and caino
near dying. When I recovered suili
clently to partake or food and drink I
tried coffee again and It sou rod on niv
atomaeh.
"I finally concluded Ibr.t coffoa was
the cause of my trouble and stopped
using it. I tried ten in Us | laio and
then milk, but neither agreed with
me; they I commenced using I’, stun,

Commission Form Favored. — The
wide-awake citizens Of Sulphur are
discussing seriously the advisability
of a commission form of government.
They are determined that the city
government shall be administered In
a business-like manner and that poli-
tics slikll be cut out of the municipal
affairs of the city as much as possible.
Steps are being taken to organize a
taxpayers’ league for the city and
county.
Auto Goes in Ditch.—-Arthur King
chauffeur of an automobile that was
carrying a load of passengers from
Temple to Walter, was seriously In-
jured and several of the passengers
received slight injuries In a wreck
that occurred between the two towns.
The machine became uncontrolable
and plunged Into a deep ravine. King
and the passengers were all dumped
out and the machine was completely
wrecked.
Won’t Transfer District. — Gov.
Frantz has received a telegram from
the internal revenue commissioner
stating that the Oklahoma district
will not be attached to the Arkansas
district for revenue purposes, but will
remain attached to the Kansas dis-
trict. Clerks In the revenue service
protested against removing to the Ar-
kansas district and prominent Repub-
lican leaders, both in Oklahoma and
•Washington, were opposed to the
proposed change.
Back to Work In Oklahoma. — A
member of the telegraphers’ union at
Shawnee declared that be has Just re-
celved eight letters from cid time
telegraphers who declare their inten-
tion of resuming their old places at
the keys. He says that the strikers
are not receiving encouragement
from headquarters and believes that
within a few days most of the old
operators not already employed else-
where will be back at work with the
telegraph companies.
Officers Rifused Bail.—Judge Law-
rence, in the federal court at Tulsa,
denied en appeal from a decision giv-
en three weeks ago in which the
court refused bail on a habeas cor-
pus to C. E. Wilson and Frank Mc-
Glotblln, deputy United States mar-
shals, indicted for first degree mur-
der for the killing of the Rev. Sylves-
ter Morris. The officers will be com-
pelled to remain in the federal Jail
at Muskogee until their trial, which
may be heard In a state court.
Allege Discrimination. — Nine cot-
ton brokers In Oklahoma City have
made a formal appeal to the Inter-
state commerce commission to pre-
vent the Gulf Compress Company
from collecting 25 and 28 cents per
bale for cotton beyond Oklahoma
City and Shawnee stations. The cot-
ton brokers claim that no such
chargo is exacted at other cotton
centers In the state; that R is a
scheme to centralize oil cotton at
Oklahoma City and Shawnee, where
the company maintains compresses. 1
Fifty-One Are Initiated.— The fall
reunion of Scottish Rl'e Masons for
the valley of Guthrie closed with a
big bnnnuet in the handsome ban-
quit hall of the newlv com pi I'M an-
nex to tbe Masonic temple in Guth-
rie. A elass of fifty-one members
took the degrees.
Form Free Home Onanlzation. —
The homesteaders of Caddo county
met In Anadarko and perfected an or-
ganization for the purpose of asking
congress to give the homesteaders in
the Klowa-Comanr’ic Indian reserva-
tion free homes, ns wns done In old
I Oklahoma -nd the Cherokee strip.
Randall Llvesuy, of Anadarko, was
elected president of the organization;
C. H Liming, secretary, and L. M.
Roberts, treasurer The homestead-
ers of Comanche and Klnwo counties
have taken similar action. Senator
Gore and Congressmen Fulton and
Ferris have promised to work for the
measure In conyross and strong effort
will be made to secure passage of the
measure ft U’e com’ag s-ss'on cf
congress, ns the time which the orig-
inal homestenders must make final
proof expires In 1908.
Boll Weevil at Work. — The
Mexican boll vteevll has destroyed
thousands of acres of cotton In tbs
southern portion of Indian Territory
and is rapidly working its way north-
ward, according to C. A. McNabb.
secretary of th© Oklahoma board of
agriculture, who has Just returned
from a trip over that section of the
new state, where he organized a num-
ber of farmers' county Institutes.
"Before the end of the present sea-
son the boll weevil will have spread
over a strip of country fifty miles
north of the Red river and extending
entirely across Indian Territory,"
said Secretary McNabb. ‘‘The only
thing that can save the farmers of
that section is to abandon cotton
growing entirely next season, thus*
destroying the hybernating places of
the insect. I found hbll weevil as
far north as Coalgate, where several
bolls were brought to me containing
full-grown weevils and entirely de-
stroyed. In some portions of South-
ern Indian Territory the cotton crop
has been cut 50 per cent short by the
revages of this pest. I found that
most of the cotton growers In that
section allowed the stalks to remain
on the ground during the winter,
thus creating the Ideal condition for
the hybernating and propagation of
the boll weevil. I would recommend
that the coming session of the legis-
lature provide for men to visit the
southern part of Indian Territory and
instruct the fanners there how to
prevent the spread of the weevil and
to teach them how to diversify their
crops so that they may dispense with
their cotton next year." Mr. Mc-
Nabb says that for a long time the
Red river, forming the boundary line
between Inlian Territory and Texas,
held back the progress of the bol
weevil, but that they finally made
their way across and are rapidly
spreading northward at the rate of
about fifty miles a year, and at that
rate. If not soon checked, will men-
ace the cotton growers of the entire
southirn half of the territory within
another year. The southern pdrtion
of Oklahoma territory has not been
generally Infested by boll weevil be-
cause of the strict quarantine regula-
tions of the Oklahoma board of cgrl
culture and also because the worst
infected district of Texas lies direct
ly south of Indian Territory. The
weevil, however, is also spreading in
a northwesterly direction and the
whole southern portion of Oklahoma
Territory is threatened. Secretary
McNabb recommends that each cot
ton grower at the end of each season
pick his crop ns rapidly as possible
and immediately clear the ground of
every vestige of the dead stalks, thus
making It practically impossible for
the boll weevil to find a place to hy
bernate.
Ran Over by Cab.—Jonn'el McNeil
the 5-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John McNeil, died at El Reno as
the result of being run over by o
cab.
Oklahoma Supreme Court. — R. L.
Williams, of Durant, member-elect of
the Oklahoma supreme court, has
stated that a session of the supreme
court will be held at Guthrie Imme-
diately after the inauguration, at
which court dates will be set In the
various districts, with a view of clear
Ing the dockets as early as passible of
the large number of cases left overby
the federal courts of both territories
Two hundred cases will he left over
by the Oklahoma territorial supreme
court.

Scott, private secretary to Gov.
Frank Frantz, ts to be appointed In-
dian ncent of the Kiowas. Comanches
and Apaches at Anadarko, to suc-
ceed John P. Blackman, who died in
a hospital at El Ileno recently Dr.

Levi P. Brockway, 8. Second At©.,
Anoka., Minn., saya: "After lying for
five months In a hos-

months to live. My
heart was affected, I
had smothering

times fell uncon-

of the trouble and did their work well.
I have been feeling well ever since.”

IN LIFE’S BRIEF 8PAN.
Experiences, Joys and Sorrows of tho
Human Existence.
The loves and friendships of Indi-
viduals partake of the frail character
of human life, and are brief and un-
certain. The experience of a human
life may be shortly summed up: A
little loving and a good deal of sor-
rowing; some bright hopes and many
bitter disappointments; some gor-
geous Thursdays when the skies are
bright and the heavens blue, when
Providence, bending over us in bless-
ings, glads the heart almost to mad-
ness; many dismal Fridays, when the
smoke of torment beclouds the mind
and undying sorrows gnaw upon the
heart; some high ambitions and many
Waterloo defeats, until the heart be-
comes like a charnel bouse filled with
dead affections, embalmed In holy
but sorrowful memories; and then
the chord Is loosed, the golden bowl
is broken, the individual life—a cloud,
a vapor, passes away.—Matthew Hale
Carpenter.
