NOMINATED For MAYOR.

c. G. Hornor has just received
the nomination of the democratic
party for the office of mayor of the
city of Guthrie. Oklahoma, and one
of the opposing papers speaks OF
him as IA social and political icicle.'
Mr.. Hornor has not that gushing,
oily, unctious disposition which is
considered necessary to make sue
cessful politician, and he would
perhaps never become popular with
the masses" or riff-raff, but he is in
no sense an "icicle," either socially
or politically.
His modest deneanor and moder-
alton while a resident of this city
made him many warm friends and
no man ever left Baxter Springs
whose departure was more univer-
sally regretted. While he was ever
sympathetic with his friends there
was not a particle of hypocrisy or
discrimination in his makeup and
no act of his public or private life
was ever tinged with dishonor.
Those who knew him best did not
consider him cold-blooded or even
luke-warn, and il he is elected to
the Office of mayor of Guthrie and
the people of that city want man
of integrity filed with high sense
of honor, capable of administering
its affairs in judicious, thorough
manner, with integrity and purity,
they will find no man who viii carry
out their wishes more fearlessly
and satisfactorily than our old
friend and fellow-townsman, Ora
ham Hornor.

One day last week Will Stowell
started from his home, about eight
miles west of this city, to Chetopa,
driving a team composed OF a mule
and a fine stallion. Upon reaching
what is known as Rocky Ford on
Neosho river he attempted to cross,
but the water was too deep and the
current too strong and the wagon
was overturned, the stallion drowned
and Win barely escaped with his
life. The drowned animal was val
ued at 500.

That meets my anxious eyes,
And feel thy presence everywhere,

That from the ground upstart
Are like the stainless purity
That lighteIh up thy heart;
The breeze that softly whispereth
Within the bud ling tree
Is like the music of thy voice
When thou dost speak 10 me.

That spreads from pole To pole,
Is mirror OF the perfect truth
That liveth in thy soul.

That meets my anxious eyes:
Thus art thou present everywhere
In earth and air and skies
