A MATCHED RACE.
A large number of local horsemen
and race-horse admirers met in the
southeast part of the city yesterday
afternoon and witnessed a matched
race between American Bean, a local
horse, and Bill Dick, an Oklahoma
steed. The race was for a purBe of
$600. The race was called a draw
by the judges. The backers of the
Oklahoma horse are not satisfied
and the race will probably be run
over again in the near future.
vation, and the characters of persons
making the filings, were then, bo the
government will attempt to prove,
taken to Hermann, who it is alleged
took, them under consideration.
On March 6, 1902, the government
alleges, Hermann wrote a letter to
} Mitchell stating that he had expe-
dited the matter, per his request.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 31.—The
| news of the indictment of Senator
j Mitchell and Representative Her-
8r>,:t4l .01 ir.ann for conspiracy to defraud the
! government of public lands had been
fully expected for some time by the
government officials having to do
with the case, and it therefore came
as no surprise.
Secretary Hitchcock frankly stat-
ed that he had looked for the indict-
ment at any time, while Attorney
General Moody, who acted in con-
junction with the interior department
m bringing about several indict-
ments, declined to make any com-
ment on the action of the grand ju-
ry's investigation, although it is said
here he was prepared for no other
result than the indictment of the two
men. Hitchcock consented to make
a brief statement in connection with
the affair. He said: "The land
fraud indictment was the result of a
series of two years' most searching
investigations, and are part of the
unalterable determination of the
president and the administration to
bring to justice all offenders of the
law, be they high or low. The Indict-
ments," continued the secretary,
"will not be the last. More are to
follow, although I believe I can say
that the investigation will involve no
more officials as high in public life
as are these two members "
TOMORROW A HOLipAY.
Tomorrow, January 2, 1905, will
be observed as a holiday by the vari-
ous government offices in the city.
The Creek payment party, the Indian
agent's office and Its various
branches, the Inspector's offices and
its branches, the Dawes commission
and the postofflce will be closed for
the day. The banks and business
houses will probably be closed part
of the day.
NOTICE TO WOODMEN.
All members of the local camp of
Woodmen of the World are request-
ed to meet at the city hall at 2:30
p. m. Sunday, Jan. 1st, 1905, for the
purpose of arranging for funeral
services of the late Dr. Z. R. Brewer.

He had been ill for several months

One of the aucient customs connect-
ed with Swedish fuuerals was to place
n small looking glass lu the cofflu of
an unmarried female, so that when the
last trump sounds she might be able
to arrange her tresses. It was the
practice for Scandinsviau maldeus to
wear their hair flowing loosely, while
the matrons wore it bound about the
head and generally covered with some
form of cap; hence the unmarried wo-
man was imagined as awakening at
the judgment day with more untidy
locks than her wedded sisters and
more in need of a glass.—Westminster
Review.
Saladfor luncheon
means meat to be chopped—perhaps half a
dozen other things—you know all about that.
CThe old touay was to use chopping
bowl ana knife, a long and tiresome
operation.
tShe nebtf touay is to use Sargent's
Gem Food Chopper, a little machine
that does better work than the chop-
ping bowl and knife, does it quickly
and quietly, lessens labor, saves time, and makes
housework a pleasure.
It chops all kinds of foods in coarse, fine or medium
pieces, without tearing, squeezing, mashing or grind-
ing ; easy to operate, easy to clean. The steel cutters
cannot break.
You can't afford to be without it.
