COUNCIL DISTRICT CAUCUS.
Canadian and Kingfisher Democrats Held a
Conference.
■Kingfisher, O. T„ Aug. "IV-The
council conference committee of the
dei.ioeratic party of Kingfisher and
Canadian counties met in Kingfisher
this morning at 10 o'clock. Canadian
county was represented by 1!. U. -lores.,
S. (J. Humphreys, Thos. Standard and
I F llensley, and .Kingfisher county by
K (i Spilmar., 11. C. Wilson, Kred
Khler and John Ratliff. I' was agreed
by the committee that the convention
is to bo at, Okarche September 12, 1902,
at 1 p. m.
on the .question of representation the
Canadian county delegation cast four
votes for equal representation on the
basis of eighteen delegates. E.H. Spil
man cast three voles for representation
as follows: Eighteen delegates for
Kingfisher county and fifteen votes for
Canadian county, as fixed by the terri-
torial committee. H. C. Wilson, of
Kingfisher, voted -one vote for equal
have to issue his proclamation within
thirty days following the passage ol the
bill. Thus, in sixty days following die
passage of a statehood bill, Hie delegates
to the constitutional convention will
have been elected.
"The constitutional convention then
meets and formulates a day upon which
the poople are to vote upon the accept-
ance or rejection of the constitution.
Most of the bills provide for the consti-
tutional covention to assemble within
six weeks following the election of the
delegates. This would assemble the
institutional convention about three
months alter the passage of the state-
hood bill.
The constitutional convention would
probably consume another month train-
ing the constitution, which would make
ttie fourth month. At the same time
that the constitution would be submitted
to the people they would vote upon
their candidates for congress and the
various state offices. Tlss would no
doubt require at least three montns time
I in which t make the campaign, ami
this would string the time out to seven

ence for a preliminary system for both
counties. The Kingfisher county
E
ecutive committee will bo called to-
n-ether to pass upon the question of
whether Or 11. O. Barker of Sheridan,
who was endorsed in the Kingfisher
primary August 5tli, for the council,
shall be allowed the ppivelege of seleot-
ing his own delegates subject to the
approval of the county executive com-
mittee.
Will Take a Year to he a State.
Guthrie, O. T„ August 25.—'"Bob"
NeU', in Iris Blackwell News, says that
it will take a year after the statehood
bill passes for Oklahoma to be fully
organized as a state. Netl' estimates
that lie believes that statehood will
como soon. He says as follows:
"There is a diversity of opinion as to
how long it wohld take to transform
Oklahoma from its territorial form ef
.government to that of a state, in case
congress should see fit to grant us state-
hood. This is provided for in all the
■ statehood bills, and there is no material
difference -upon this point in any of
them. In case a statehood bill should
oass, the governor must call an elociiun
to bo held within bixly days after the
passage of the act, to elect delegates to
a constitutional convention. Thirty
days' notice of the election must be
given, consequently the governor would
hood bill.
"The governor and secretary of the
territory would then canvass the returns
and certify the result to the president,
who, if satisfied that the constitution
lias carried, and that it is in conformity
with the requirements of the statehood
bill, must, within twenty days, issue
his proclamation declaring the territory
to be a state.
"Thus it will be seen that it will take
at least eight months from the passage
of a statohood bill before we can assume
the dignity and responsibilities ol state-
hood. it is safe to say that under the
most favorable circumstances it will be
at least a year before wo can become a
slate."
Colored Men Nominate a Mixed Ticket that
Promises to Cut ice.
Kingfisher, O. T„ Aug. 211.-The rep-
resentatives of tlie .">20 negro republican
voters of this county mot in a mass con-
vention at 11 o'clock today at tho court
house, for the purpose of resenting the
insult received by them at the republi-
can convention, which met at the opera
house here July 31, when their man,
E. O. Tyler, was defeated for register of
deeds. , , .
H. I. Carrin was elected chairman
and Eli 11 an is secretary. A com-
mitteo of threo was selected on resolu-
tions and tiilie on order of business.
Tho committee on.resolutions reported
in part that they would not support tho
republican ticket adopted, and recom-
mended that a ticket composed of white
and black republican men be named by
this convention to be known as the John
Brown republican ticket. It was formu-
lated as follows:
Sheriff, J. II. Cochran, white.
Probate Judge, J. J, Kiley.
Treasurer, J. Sain, white.
Register of deeds, S. S. Jones.
County clerk, Elihu Harris.
County superintendent, D. D. Uarrett
County assessor, Tom Carran.
County supervisor, G. II. Forbes.
County attorney, E. A. Cravate.
County coroner, H. A. Sparks.
This is a long stop towards the elec-
tion -of- the men on the democratic
ticket and will act as a check to the
exhuberance of spirits now prevailing in
the republican ranks.
"Coda Morris" Found
Emporia, Kan., August 25■ James
Pendleton, mayor of Gentry, Mo., can
fessod today to the sheriff of I-yons
county and a number of newspaper men
•that he had ciruulatod the story of his
death and burial at Orlando, O. T., to
escape a cliarge-ol-bigainy. Pendleton
wilted when confronted by Mrs. drace
Ubley-Morris of Emporia, his second
wife, who had caused his arrest upon
the charge of bigamy. Pendleton, who
had gone under the name of Coda S.
Morris and John Cox, hits a wife and
five children at Gentry. He had, ac-
cording to his own statement, married
Miss-obley at Emporia last Juno under
the name of Morris. Ten da?s ago ho
appeared at Orlando, (>. T., under the
name of Cox. Ho started tho story that
coffin and buried the supposed dead man
in a country cemetery near Orlando.
Emporia friends believing Morris had
been murdered, had the coffin exhumed,
when it was four.d to ho empty, l'en-
dleton was traced to Gentry and arrest,
ed yesterday. Tho shorilf at first, refus-
ed to serve <ho warrant because of Pen

Kansas City Star: -W. I>. YVemple of
Oatville, Sedgwick county, Kansas, con-
tributed to the Hennessey Piikss-Obmo-
ckat, last week, an account of he al-
leged' killing of Pat Hennessey by In-
dians. Wemple told the samo Indian
story that has been current for years.
-Hilly" Malaly of Hennessey, ^ays that
Hennessey was killed b, white mon.
Malaly was in the country al the time,
and was with tho party that found Hen-
nessey's body. He could tell a story
that would not be pleasing to persons
still living.

Labor Day Proclamation.
I.abor has over beon the source of
mankind's greatest blessing. From the
beginning of time, men have been hap-
piest when trheir hands and minds were
employed in honorable industry, and
most miserable when wandering in the
aimless ways of idleness. Activity
stimulates both moral and physical
growth, while sloth is the mother or
poverty mnd decay. The river that
runs swiftly to the sea is pure and
sweet; the waters of the stagnant stream
breed foulness of disease. Winds that
blow freely over the earth and rock il in
storms, bear refreshing rains and Iructi
lying seeds, but where the stillness ol
the eaim abides is the home of pest
ilence. From primitive days men have
regarded labor and virtue as inseperable
The American people have distinguishet
I themselves above all the nations of Hie
I -earth for industry, and this great repub
He, Tich in achievements, omnipouent
in destiny and unconquerable in its
d"votion to the welfaro of humanity
the most splendid realisation of time in
the -divine benefits of labor. On
country, Oklahoma, is tho mosl splemli
exan.pis of the rewards of industry to
be found in our great family of common
wealths. It is peculiarly fitting that
the citizens of this territory should
observe with pleasure and rovereii'-o th
celebration of Labor Day.
Now, therefore, 1, Thompson B. 4 er
•guson, Governor of the Territory of
Oklahoma, do proclaim Monday,
Septomber 1, 1902, a holiday, and call
upon all citizens of this great territory
to lay aside business and their daily
cares, mid. properly celebrate said day.
