the comb softly through Pennies hair,
singing:

That eat up all our corn,
Well spoil their little nests,
And make them feel forlornv
Then, when it caught in a tangle,

Light Dress Goods for Spring and

suggestion of the large shops as they

stop, Thle1!
Stop small malady, which is stealing
your strength, before it outruns your power
to arrest it, and recover what it took from
you. The safest and promptest recuperator
of waning vitality is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which renews vigor, flesh and nerve
quietude because it restores activity to those
functions whose interruption interferes
with general health. Use the Bitters for
dyspepsia, malarial, rheumatic and kidney
complaints and biliousness.

A Man Lost.

Las: Saturday night at $50, on the
dimly lighted streets of ArdmOre,
there was a poor, pitiful looking
man wandering his weary way along
the south side of Main street, lock-
ing as though he had been done an
injustice by some one. The bystand-
ers on the street watched him for
several minutes and at lastthere was
one sympathiZer among the lockers
on who had a tender heart, he ap-
preached the poor old man and said,
friend what can l do for you? you
look as though you are in trouble,
the poor man looked up and said,
sir am, feel as though have

shoes, | was directed to J. b. Wallis

told me that l could buy good shoes
at very low prce, but l went to the

take back those shoes you have and
will show you the way to j. B. Wall,

"wm Mock, the rs year old son OF
NJ. l.. Mock, was badly hurt and

pieces by a Santa Fe train yesterday.
Mock was with a number Of other
boys, who play about the railroad
yards daily and court death, attempt
ed TO board a freight 10 ride TO the
new Cimarron bridge. The other
boys mounted safely, but young
Mock slipped and fell and was struck
a terrific pelt in the head by the cars.

only the quick work OF bystanders
saved him from a horrible death.
The lad received two ugly wounds ir

accident. ."-Guthrie Leader
The above accident Is reproduced
in the ARDMoRETTE with a hope that
parents i'm Ardmore may see what a
risk their boys run every day IN
jumping on and OF moving trains.
This is a most dangerous practice OF
daily occurrence and that II presist-
in is sure sooner o. later TO result
fatally to somebody's boy.

JURY DISCHARGED.
The Twelve Men TO Pass on the Gull,
or Innocence OF DR.. O'keIley Fail
TO Agree After Four Days.

The jury in the O'Kelley abduction
case reported their utter inability TO
agree on a verdict late yesterday
afternoon and were discharged from
further deliberation.
They had been together since Sat
urday, and Of course were glad TO be
liberated. They stood nine for con-
viction and three for acquittal.
In discharging them the court took
occasion to give it as his opinion that
a verdict should have been reached.
This the minority took as an intima-
ton that they should have conceded
to the views of the majority, a con-
clusion they did not take TO very
kindly.
The case will now go over until the
next term of court, pending which
time the defendant will be required
to give a new bond in the sum of
$500.
While the ARDMOREITE has a well
defined opinion as to the merits Of
the case, il can very readily justify
the position of each juror, whether
it was for acquittal or conviction.
We have no doubt they were con
scientious and simply cOntended for
what they conceived to be just to the
government as well as to the defend
ant.

NON-CITIZENS' LEAGUE.
A Practicable Scheme to Protect the
interests of That Element In Case
of Opening of the Territory.

E.P. Young, of Durant, is in the
eitv on mission of much more than
ordinary Importance. 1t is the furth-
ering the interests of the bona fide
non-citizens in the event of the open
ing of the Indian Territory to settle
ment.
The project is for the organization
of a non-citizens' league to cover the
entire Territory, and it is backed up
by men of responsibility. If its pur-
poses are carried out it cannot fail
to be of vast benefit to those who
have, in the face of deprivations and
obstacles, made this country what
it is.
While the league is general to the
Territory in its application, it is made
local by the appointment in each
town of a committee OF responsible
business men to look after registra-
ton and to forestall any probability
of the perpetration of fraud.
The committee appointed in Ard
more to solicit and supervise the reg
istration consists of Steve Douglas
and F. E. Wilson.
The objects of the league are fully
set forth in the following circular,
and vouched for by such men as ]. E.
Ledbetter, cashier of the Bank of
Durant, who is also one of the origi-
nators of the league movement.
The circular, in defining the aims
of the league, says:
First-Its purpose is to protect the
interests of those registered against
intruders in case of the opening OF
the Indian Territory for settlement
Secondhand give to those regis
tered first choice over new comers il
the purchase of lands and towr
property in case Of the opening o.
the Territory.
Third--Its object is to also forestall
all false claims of intruders and en-
tirely do away with disputes at Law
which have cost the United State:
government and Oklahoma Territory
SO much expense and trouble since
the opening of that country.
Fonrth-The committee appointed
in each town is composed Of highly
responsible u-iLess men well ac-
quainted with the district VINO vii
use care to forestall any false regis
try. Care must be taken 10 make al
statements truthfully.
Fifth--Each person registering
mus; pay registration fee of fifty
cents. The committee will give {
receipt for same This money is tC
cover expense of compiling ano
placing the register with the United
States government.
Sixth-It is to the interest of every
non-citizen to register.

A SPLENDID AFFAIR.
MIR. and Mrs. Arthur WaIcOtt Accord
Their Friends an Evenings Enter
taInment Last Night.

The elegant new home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur Walcott was formally
thrown open to their friends last
night in the way of a social gather
ing seldom approached in brilliancy
in the history of Ardmore. No cards
were issued but that was entirely
unnecessary to the success of the
occasion. A general invitation to
come and make merry fulfilled the
requirements.
Music and dancing constituted the
attractions, but not to the exclusion
of that important part, the rare hospi-
tality of the host and hostess in serv-
ing literally a dainty feast of refresh
ments.
Those present were: Misses Effie
Stewart, Hettie Wilhelm, Ruth Will
helm, Pet Jackson, Mollie Cox, Laura
Witter, Della Crouch, Mrs. Buchan-
an, Blanch Rowland, Maud LAHORE,

man.
The festivities were kept up to a
late hour, and when the last strains
of "Home, Sweet Hons" had re-
sounded throughout the spacious
parlors, the general expression of
desire was that the future held in
store many more similar occasions.
