CLARENCE B. DOUGLAS, - - ED'TO*
FRANK F. MEKR1AM.- - - Business Managek
The Ardmorelte say# "Its all gone, hut the headache "
That's the Gainsville brand.
The storm has had a marked effect on business, es-
pecially the wood and coal trade.
Mr. W. J. Bryan has decided to boom Carter Harri-
son for the presidency Thought they were good friends.
APPROPRIATE.
Kdltor Barrett of the Shawnee Herald, perpetuates
the following:
"We have been asked to suggest some appropriate
decorations for various business houses during the at-
tendance here of the Bar association of the two territo-
ries this week. In reply we would suggest that they just
set down a few "cases" where they can be reached be-
fore adjournment or taken during recess." #
To which the visiting deciples of Blackstone will no
doubt say. "How very appropriate."
The London fog is lifting, but the mystery surround-
ing the real name and identity of Mrs. Chadwick is as
opaque aa ever.
The young lady who wished she was a centipede
Christmas eve, with a stocking for each, is now perfectly
satisfied with her anatomy.
The Oklahomnu saysv--''The family row between Mus-
kogee and Tulsa Is happily not spreading to neighboring
tribes." What family row?
What Is better than corn In the crib at Christmas
time? asks an enthusiastici agriculturalist. That's an
easy one: Corn In the flask.
It is reported that the Mikado of Japan is crazy
If this Is true, It must make the Russians shudder to
Ihlnk what a sane man could do to them.
And now Kansas City is claiming that last blizzard
ns its very own. That's the way with some towns, they
claim everything good, bad and indifferent.
Another shipment of boodlers has been made from
8t. Louis, their destination being Jefferson City. The
press reports don't say whether they go to the Capitol
or the penitentiary.
Admiral Schley got tpngled up in a wreck Tuesday,
but fortunately it was not so serious as that one Cevcra
and he participated in some time ago off the coast of
Cuba, for which he was largely responsible.
TO KIjKCT A CHAIRMAN.
The Republican Executive Committee of the Indian
.Territory will meet at South McAlester Monday. Jan.
2, for the purpose of electing a chairman to succeed to
'that position, which was made vacant by the death ot
Hon C C, Keen. There are several candidates for tiie
position. Mr. O A. Wells, of Ardmore, being the one
most prominently spoken of, owing to the fact that in
the election of Mr. Keen the Chickasaw Nation was con-
ceded the position for the present term. The friends
of Hon. Arch Querry. of Tulsa, the Republican leader
of that section of the Creek Nation, are asking that he
be selected for the position, and were it not for the fact
that the Chickasaw contingent are claiming the^place as
a matter of Justice. Mr. Querry would no doubt be
chosen.
SPEAKER CANNON'S RECIPE.
Uncle Joe Cannon gives the following recipe for a
pleasant Christmas.
■You may take one drink, but only one. Do not
take any more.
Don't drink these fancy things they mix up. "
you must have a drink, take plain, good, straight whisky.
"Have a nice turkey and other things you fancy.
Bring on the plum pudding with blazing brandy.
"Tilt your chair back and put your feet high up and
light your cigar.
"Then c)ose your eyes and think of all the pleasant
things that have happened.
••Be so contented that you even forget to cuss the
scoundrel who wrote lies about you.
Of course. Christmas Is over, but the above is a good
common every-day recipe which might be followed.

President Kingsbury, of the Kansas Southwestern
railroad, has received a letter inclosing 75 cents, which
the writer says Is due for coal stolen from his road
several years ago. His condition Is still critical.
This is the kind of weather when the pert para-
grapher refrains from saying anything about the sweet
sunny south and meanders out Into the back yard to
pick up chips and pray for the arrival of his over due
cord wood subscriber.
Of course the Missouri senatorial fight Is becoming
very warm (for that state), hut If you want to see the
real sizzling article Just wait until the statehood bill
passes and the battle opens up In the State of Oklahoma
with a purse hung up for two.
The czar of Russia Is Intensely practical. After
spending the morning hours In receiving reform dele-
gations in his bomh-proof apartments, he whiles away
the afternoon making out the list of thf* next day's
shipment for the salt mines of Siberia.
Hon. W. J. Bryan got locked in a close room in
Denver, and owing to his failure to turn off the heat,
was almost suffocated when rescued. Now that he
knows what It Is to suffer from hot air, he will probably
be more* considerate of his audiences in the future.
Newspaper reports say that Senator Cockrell won his
first election to the United States Senate by throwing his
hat 10 the celling at a political meeting. The candidates
to succeed hini would no doubt hurl all their wearing
apparel skywards if they thought it would have the same
effect on them.
There are so. many magnetic statesmen over in Okla-
homa that surveyors have great difficulty in ruhning tae
section lines and finding corners, owing to the fact that
the needle varies so much In different localities. It may-
be that the number of political lightning rods punctur-
ing the atmosphere also has something to do with the
troubles of the tripod man.
WANT TO BE THERE.
A petition with boots on will leave Oklahoma City
next week for Washington in the interest of Single
Statehood via. the Hamilton bill now pending in the
Senate. By January 12 not less than two hundred citi-
zens of Oklahoma and Indian Territory will be at tue
national capital, most of them at their own expense, and
'all of them at the personal sacrifice of their business,
I doing whatever they may be able to to secure legislation.
iThe double statehood movement, if there ever was sucn
a thing outside of the brain of Editor Orator Russell of
ithe South McAlester Capital, has failed to move and
I there is not now a break in the line o* workers for one
state for the two territories. The people of this country
and Oklahoma have spent thousands of dollars in the
' past ten years trying to break Into the United States ol
: America, and it seems now as If their wish will soon be
• gratified and as many of them as possible desire to be on
the scene when the curtain raises on the new state.
WHERE ARE THEY "AT?"
The Kansas City Times has the following on the
Frank Mathews interview recently sent out from this
city:
"Frank Mathews either failed to edit that Muskogee
interview or has turned loose a good sized feline from
his gripsack, He is quoted as saying that 'the Democrats
| of Oklahoma were for two states for the two territories
I until they found out that the Democrats of Indian TeV-
! ritory would not stand up and declare for two states.
| They were afraid that it would minimize their chances
I of anv statehood nt all. Then the Oklahoma Democrats
swung round, and are now standing with the Republic-
ans in demanding single statehood. It is now apparent
that if the Democrats of Indian Territory do not favor
two states thev are at least unwilling to declare for one.
and they are therefore now standing where the Oklahoma
Democrats stood a couple of years ago.
Pv a close reading of the above a fairly intelligent
idea mav be gained of Just what the Democrats of the
two territories do not think they think they want.

That haiy appearance in the sky to the southwest is
not caused by a prairie fire, neither is it the result of a
new volcano tore loose among the Pottawattomles. It is
only the steam arising from the parched throats of the
Indian Territory cotincelors and advocates who are being
admitted to the various bars of Shawnee preparatory to
the opening session of the Inter-Territorial Lawyers'
association, which convenes this morning in that city.

No Gaston, the report of Inspector Wright was not
dated June 30. before the present alleged rules and regu-
lations for the sale of Creek lands were promulgated,
but October 12th, after the same had been put in force
It was the agent's report, dated August 6. which was
made up before the last edition of rules, which should
have been entitled, how not to sell allotted land, was
inflicted on a long suffering and much fatigued com-
munity. Look up the report Jason, the inspector's report,
which is a public document, is easily obtainable and you
will see this is a statement of the facts In the case.
WILL Al'PKAL HIS CASE.
(By Associated Press.>
Lawton. Ok.. Dec. 28.—L. T. Rus-
sell, formerly editor of the Lawton
State Democrat, charged with the
killing of Col. J W. Hawkins, and In
trial at Anadarko on a change of
▼enue found guilty of man-slaughter
in the second degree has made an
appeal to the higher court. His bond
was fixed at J2.H00. wnlch he gave
and was released.
FOR FAIR TREATMENT.
Hon. Dennis Flynn is out In an interview on state-
hood. and goes on record with a statement that the Oklu
homans must meet the Indian Territory fairly. Mr
Flynn says:
"I believe that the Hamilton statehood bill will be
passed finally by the first of ®ext February or early in
that month, and that the Republican party has a good
prospect of carrying the new state. I expect from this
time to trv to interest the rank and file as well as those
who have been active In the past in urging the election
of good, clean, honorable candidates to office. We must
treat Indian Territory just as fairly as we Expect to treat
ourselves. This is no time for partisan bickering, and I
. am confident Mr. McGuire and his friends will agree with
! us on this line of policy. "—Journal.
Between the lines of the above can be seen the evi-
dence of the battle royal which is coming in Oklahoma
with McGuire and his friends clashing with the Flynn
forces Both men are ambitious, both strong, resource-
ful and aggressive, and the senatorial toga Is the prue
for which they will strive.
