A GOOD PROFIT.

The total receipts from the dinners
and suppers given by the ladies of the
Presbyterian church Thursday and
Friday were $780, II, and the amount
cleared is about $3.50. The receipts
from the dinner yesterday were about
S45, and from the supper S4S. The
number of people fed yesterday was
considerably greater than on the pre-
vious day, especially at supper. The
outer door became locked, unknown
to the ladies, Thursday evening, and
many people could not gain admit
lance, so that the receipts for that
meal did not much exceed $50. The
meals were we'll worth more than tue
price charged, and were daintily
served by the ladies.

The Martin County Sentinel wants
to know how it is that the agitation
by few so-called free silver cranks
can injure the credit of the country,
while the passage of an unlimited
silver coinage bill by the United
States senate would have no effect.
Well, in the first place, investors
knew that there was no possible
chance OF free coinage bill becoming
law, even should it pass the senate,
consequently an agitation through the
country to influence the elections of
the future would have more influence
on this matter than the work before
congress. This is we'll illustrated by
the fact that investors were opposed
to loaning the government on the ten
year basis, on terms which would be
advantageous to the United States,
prefering the long loan, not only as a
matter OF investment, but also on the
belief that the fiatlsm which has ex-
hibited more or less strength during
the past few years, would be among
the things of the past, and our finan-
cial system settled upon sound and
solid basis long before the time for
the loan to expire arrives.

IT NAV not be improper, and it is

IT may not be improper, and it is
certainly due DR.. Andrews, to state
that he has at no time within the
past two years been candidate for
mayor. His name has been frequently
mentioned in connection with the
office, but only by friends who felt
that his former defeat was brought
about through methods not wholly
Republican, and that he should re-
ceive the endorsement of nominal
tion and election this spring. 1t has
also been accepted as fact that if
matters drifted along in such a way
as that the nomination could be given
him without a bitter contest the
doctor would accept, which is no
doubt true. But all matter having
been settled to Mr. Andrews satisfac-
tion, it is hoped that he will see his
council. Unless, however, there can
be a board of aldermen made up of
tirst-class men who have the interests
of the city at heart, and who are
willing to devote the necessary time
to the faithful discharge of their
duties, the doctor would be justified
in having none of it in his. The con-
ditions are such as should arouse the
earnest activity of the best mea in
our city.

A BALLAD OF THE COLORS
A gentleman of courtly air,
Of old Virginia he;

A gentleman of courtly air,
Of old Virginia he;
damsel from New Jersey state,
OF matchless beauty she;
They met as fierce antagonists
The reason why, they say,
Her eyes were of the Federal blue,
And his Confederate gray
They entered on a fierce campaign,
And. when the fight began,
1t seemed as though the strategy
Had no determined plan.
Each watched the others movements well
While standing there at bay
One struggling for the Federal blue,
One for Confederate gray.
We all looked on with anxious eyes
To see their forces move.
And none could tell which combatant
At last would victor prove.
They marched and cOuntermarChed with skill
Here. lines were seen of federal blue,
And there, Confederate gray.
At last he moved his force in mass;
And sent her summons there
That she should straight capitulate
Upon conditions fair.
AS you march forth the flags may fly,
The drums and bugles play; but yield thos
eyes of federal blue
To the Confederate gray"
''You are the foe,' she answer sent,
ITO maidens such as
I'll face you with dauntless heart,
| And conquer you, or die.
| A token of the sure result ag
The vaulted skies display;
| For there above is federal blue,
Below, Confederate gray"
Sharp-shooting on each flank began,
And mid maneuvers free
| The rattle of small-talk with
Big guns of repartee,
| Mixed with the deadly glance of eyes
Amid the proud array
There met in arms the Federal blue,
And the Confederate gray.
Exhausted by the fight at length
| They called truce to rest;
When low another force appeared
| Upon mountain crest.
And as it came the mountain down
Amid the trumpet'S bray,
| Uncertain stood the Federal blue
And the Confederate gray.
A corps of stout free lances these
| Who poured upon the field,
| Field-M arshal Cupid in command
| Who SwOre they both must yield;
| That both should conquer both divide
| The honors of the day;
And proudly with the Federal blue
| Marched the Confederate gray.
| His troops were fresh, and theirs were worn !;
| What could they but agree
| That both should be the conquerors,
| And both should captives be?
| So they presented arms, because
Dan Cupid held the sway,
And joined in peace the Federal blue
| With the Confederate gray.
Twelve years have fed. passed today
The fort they built, and saw
Sights to strike bachelor
With spirit-thrilling awe.
Deployed a corps of infantry,
But less for drill than play;
And some had eyes of Federal blue,
And some Confederate gray.

IT is probable, after the action of
the meeting of representative body
of Republicans last night, that DR..
Andrews will be candidate for
alderman in the Fourth ward. Mr..
Andrews will make an excellent Off

business men from the other wards
prevails, something practical in city
matters can be accomplished in the
next two years. The Republicans
should "get together" on the alder
manic ticket and put up the best men
possible.

will be found the report of meeting
held last evening by the friends of
DR.. J. w. Andrews and Mayor Weaver,
called for the purpose of allaying any
hostilities within the party liable to
arise at the approaching municipal
election, and to select a candidate for
mayor to recommend to the Republi-
can convention.
Mr.. Weaver was selected, and it
goes without saying that he will
be nominated and elected. The
FREE PRESS has had occasion to
criticise in the past some of the omis-
Sions and commissions of the mayor,
and it has felt itself called upon to
make these criticisms for public good.
Many things connected with our city
administration have been permitted
to continue which should not have
been allowed. Many evils have been
allowed to grow and thrive in Man
kato which should have been stamped
out, and to the existence Of some of
these we have heretofore called public
attention. But Mr. Weaver, during
his past two years of office serving,
was free from responsibility to any
organized political party, and he has
no doubt closed his eyes to some
things which he will not sanction in
the future. At least it is hoped that
such will prove the case. He is now
or soon will be, the chosen leader OF
the Republican party in municipal
affairs, and the responsibility for his
official acts will rest upon that party
If his official course in the future
shall commend itself to the people he
will strengthen his party; if other
wise he will certainly weaken it. Mr.
Weaver has the ability to make a
good mayor, He will Tor CAM entel
upon his second term without being
handicapped by any pledges whatso
ever. He can go in with clean hand:
and wipe out with a single sWOoI
those things which should have NJ
place in a moral community, and he
can with much credit reorganize many
departments of the city to the advan.
tage and profit of the taxpayers. The
financial condition of ouI city de-
mands the most rigid economy ir
every department., and many leaks
now existing should be caulked up
If Mr.. Weaver, when he becomes
mayor of Mankato by grace of the
Republican party, will take hold OF
these matters with determination tC
give the city such an administration
as the Importance of our de-
mands require, he will find nc
more enthusiastic champion in
the community than the FREE
PRESS, and in his efforts to see that
the laws of the state and the ordi-
nances of the city are lived up to, he
will have the moral backing of the
people. In the generous treatment
accorded the mayor for reelection, he
is given an opportunity which comes
to few men to show the real stuff of
which he is made, and the FREE
PRESS expresses the confidence that
he will make good use of it.

A RIGHTEOUS VERDICT.

The verdict which was rendered
yesterday in the Hayward case at
Minneapolis was a most just one. and
will receive the approval of all lovers
of Justice. A more cold-blooded,
6endish crime was never planned by
mortal man than when Harry Hay
ward conspired to send to her death
Catherine Cling, who looked upon him
as her friend, and whom, as the evil
dence shows, trusted him implicitly.
Never was there a case where capital
punishment was more justified, and
the law and the murder will have
been as fully avenged as is within the
power of man when the verdict shall
have been cOnSummated in this re-
spect. 1t has been long tedious
trial, but from the first the state has
conducted it in an able manner, and
Attorney Frank Nye is entitled to
great credit for the close attention he
has given the case and brought it to
so successful a close. When the MUIR
der first became known, the state had
nothing to work on but theory, but
from that they developed strong
case, and in a trifle over three months
secured a verdict of guilty against the
chief conspirator. 1t cannot be said
that in this case justice has been al
lowed to lag, and it is to be devoutly
hoped it will not be allowed to mis-
carry through some slight techni-
cality.

ARDMORE'S PAPERS.
4 short Sketch Of the Ups and Downs oi
the Only Daily Paper Published In
the Indian Territory.

Early in October, 1898, there ap-
neared in Ardmore a journeyman
printer and newspaper writer of ex-
perience by the name of ID. p. Cloyd.
After viewing the field and taking in
the situation he determined to es-
tabhsd here a daily paper. Without
a dollar i'll his pocket he set about to
his task, interesting with himself two
other printers engaged at the time
on one of the local papers. They
had no material or money with
which to buy; as n nucleus from
which to start, they leased lot of
pied type and ramshackle machinery
from r. S. Dennee. With this the
DAILY ARDMoREITE was launched on
the tempestuous sea of journalism
October 2S, 1898. 1t bore at the
mast head the names of Kessler,
CIoyd & Co., publishers, d. p. ClOyd
editor. Soon thereafter R. S. w.
Parker purchased an interest, be-
coming business manager, and still a
little later f. E. Wilson purchased
the interest of Mr.. Cloyd and as
sumed editorial control. In March,
1894, the entire ownership passed in
to the hands of the present pro-
prietors, since which time the ARD
MoREITE has been tossed hither and
thither under their direction, always
managing to keep head above
water and satisfy its obligations.
From force of two boys to do its
mechanical work it has grown to
that magnitude that it now carries a
pay roll of $500 per month. Smooth
sailing has not always been it's lot,
but no matter what the difficulties
they have always been met and over
come.
The leased makeshift of plant was
purchased from Judge Dennee anC
Captain Wilmington and most of i
shipped to the foundries in exchange
for new material, which had hardly
been received until the destructive
fire of April 19, 1895, came and by i
was totally destroyed But the ARD
MOREITE could not be burned. Fol
a period of nineteen days it sus
pended, pending the arrival of a new
plant, which was ordered the same
day of the fire. On May Sth, it re
appeared, printed from a brand new
establishment, fitted up with new
faces and improved machinery.
That the ARDMOREITE has beer
forged to the front in the Indian
Territory journalism is a pleasure t,
its projectors beyond expression
but it is not content to rest with it
present prosperity; it is looking 70
still greater achievements.
The ARDMOREITE prides itself OF
being an important factor in Ard
more's present and future greatness
to be which is its ambition. The en-
viable distinction of being the onl
daily paper within the realms of tn
Indian Territory, lies with the ARL
MOREITE. Others have come an
gone in Ardmore, but the peopl
have shown their allegiance to tn
champion of their cause in a man
ner most gratifying.
The ARDMOREITE office is locate
on South Springer street, and
fully equipped not only to publis
its daily and weekly editions, but
has in connection a job office secOn
to none between Fort Worth an
Wichita. Fine job work and con
mercial printing are its specialties.
Visitors are always welcome.

Ardmore Brick Works.


You can't build house without
material no more than you can make
bread without the necessary ingre-
dients. When one contemplates
building a house, they first deter
mine of what shall | build il? IL he
decides upon brick, the next thought
is to get good brick. 1t is alw avs
the cheapest to get the best. All
who may be dwelling on these all
important questions have but TO take
such troubles to the Ardmorc Brick
Works and Capt. W. X. Wood and
ID. Davies, the popular and well
known pioneer brick men of Ard
more, will settle them on short no.
tice. The question of good brick
will settle itself if referred to the
Ardmore Brick Works, for they
make none but good brick, and the
question of price is easily settled by
Captain Wood or Mr.. Davies, who
make one price to all, and that the
lowest commensurate with safe bus
mess. The Ardmore steam brick
works are the largest in the Indian
Territory, and turn out as fine a
class of brick as can be made any
where. There is no better method
of testing the quality of brick than
was the recent big fire in Ardmore,
and hundreds of thousands of the
brick in the buildings burned have
been used in rebuilding, and they
were most of them, whole and sound
| And none stood the awful test better
than the brick made by the Ardmore
/ Brick Works. One cannot help no.
ticing the smooth appearance and
! symmetrical shape of the brick turn
ed out by these works, and they are
well burned. The works are now
running to their full capacity, turn
ing out about so 600 brick per day,
and they are beng sold as fast as
made. Ii YOU contemplate building,
it Will pay you to confer with Capt.
Wood, who will give you courte-
Gus treatment, good brick and
lowest prices.
