what a Federal Jurist Says of News
papers.
KANSAS CRY. Feb. AT the annual
banquet OF the local Bar association Fed.
eral Judge John F. Phillips, talking OF
The Press and the Bench, complained
that newspapers frequently usurped the
privileges Of the courts and tried cases
in their columns before the facts had
been heard by the iuries. He ead that
many irresponsible papers and blatant
political stump speakers tried to con-
vey the impression that judges and
officials generally were corrupt, in other
words that they all had their price.
Men sitting upon the bench we're accused
of being the tools of corporations be-
cause they happened to decide case in
their favor, no consideration being Civ es
to the thousand cases in which TIM
poor were the victors over railway COR
porations. In concluding his remarks
Judge Phillips stated that notwith-
standing the criticisms of the press he
would stand with one baud on the cou-
stitution and the other on his con-
science and would do his duty under
the law.

Among the mechanics of Ardmore,
we take pleasure in calling attention
to the firm OF Weeks Bros, lately
from Marlin, Texas. They deal in
pumps and windmills, of which they
handle several kinds; also skylights,
cornice, tin roofing, guttering, fue
and well tubing and all work in sheet
metal or tin. One of the firm re-
pairs guns and bicycles and is an ex-
pert in his line. They are headquar-
ters for plumbing, both hot and cold
water, and as all their work is guar
anteed, you run no risk I'm employing
them. Their galvanized iron cisterns
are very popular, both in Texas and
the Indian Territory, of which they

PROGRESSIVE CITIZENS.


In displaying the advantages Of
any city with reference TO its com
mercial and manufacturing resources,
no method affords so complete a rep
resentation as that which depicts
fully the various individual enter
prises that have been most success
full and progressive in their respec-
tive lines. II is therefore with pleas
ure we present for the consideration
of the readers of this anniversary
edition some facts with regard to the
grocery establishment of Brady
Bros. Their store, which is located
on West Main street, is stocked
with one of the finest and chOic-
est stocks OF groceries to be found
in the Indian Territory, besides all
kinds of country produce. In fact
they handle none but first-class goods
and this with courteous treatment,
fair dealing and strict attention to
the wants Of their customers, they
have built up a large business, and II
is constantly increasing. They are
manufacturers of those excellent and
popular brands Of flour, White Frost,
Big Patents and Brady's Patent
Roller Meal, which il is claimed,
have no equal among any Of the 9th
er brands in use. BY Offering these
superior grades of -four, Messrs.
Brady Bros. have built up the finest
trade in the city in this article, as
their books will show. The gentle
men composing this firm, Messrs. J.
b., ID. c. and VIM. II. Brady, are
well known in financial and business
circles, standing exceedingly high as
merchants.

Thos. j. Cornelius.

The largest insurance agency in
the two territories is that Of ThOs. j.
Cornelius, whose name heads this
article. 4 review or an attempted
portrayal of the commercial growth

ton of this man, who has made safe
the property of the citizens Of the
the town from accidental destruc-
ton by insuring it, would be to omit
one Of the most important factors in
ArdmOre's prosperity. Mr.. Cornelius
writes only insurance that insures,
and this was certainly demonstrated
to the satisfaction of his patrons,
who, by the way, are legion,
following the late great fire by the
prompt and satisfactory manner in
which the companies he represents
settled all losses. This agency placed
about three-fourths of all the insur-
ance involved in the recent confia-
grafton, every dollar Of which has
been adjusted and paid to the entire
satisfaction of all claimants. This is
record almost unprecedented.
Mr.. Cornelius writes fire, life,
casualty, tornado and plate glass in
surance, and the advantages in his
favor are experience and a knowl-
edge of underwriting. He repre-
sents twenty tirst-class companies,
as follows: Hartford Fire, of Hart
ford, Conn; Springfield Fire and
Marine, of Springfield, Mass; Lon
/ don and Lancashire Fire, of Eng
/ land; German-American, of New
+ York; Phenix, of Brooklyn, y. Y;

tion to his agency in Ardmore, Mr..
Cornelius has associate agencies at
