He will come fresh from his victories to

His friends say that he will take it, but
none of them thinks he can do so with

die Bald, whom the Burfaionians worship,
has sustained some defeats and Won some
victories. However, he is right and fit,
as happy as lark and as firm in the sad
die as he ever was in his life.
Walter Sanger, the famous Milwaukee
rider, seems TO have struck his old-time
form. Recently lie has won many races,
beating some Of the cracks of the coun-
try. In every instance he showed much
OF the speed that made him famous two
years ago. 1t is a well-known fact that
Sanger is u hard man to get in condition,
but when fit he is almost invincible. The
fact was demonstrated three years ago at
Detroit, when he beat Zimmerman again
and again. Now that the Milwaukee flyer
has struck winning gait, he may be made
a favorite over both Bald and Cooper. But,
no matter how the odds are placed, there
is certain to be red-hot race. The

1t is an odd fact, but nevertheless true
one, that the rider who has his handle
bars and saddle properly adjusted never
has complaint to make against the BIZ

that class who delight in taking long spins
with the handles down as far as they will

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when man is slowly wasting away with
nervous weakness, the mental forebod-
ings are ten times worse than the most
severe pain. There is no let up to the
mental suffering day or night. Sleep is
almost impossible and under such
strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer
rolled and tossed on the troubled sea OF
sexual weakness until it was question
whether he had not better take dose
of poison and thus end all MS troubles.
But providential inspiration came to his
aid in the shape of a combination or
medicines that not only completely re-
stored the general health, but enlarged
his weak, emaciated parts 10 natural size
and vigor, and he now declares that any
man who will take the trouble to send
his name and address may have the
method Of this wonderful treatment free.
Now when say free mean absolutely

Judge Scott Denounced for His Article il

lodge Scott Denouaced for His Article in
the New York Paper.
Guthrie. @. T, Nov. 21.-Judge Scott
who occupied such prominent place in
last Sundays New York Herald in re-
gard To Oklahoma divorces. has been the
target of more denunciation in Okla
homa this week than any human being
N the territory ever was before. a SAM
pie Of the way Judge Scott's letter TO
Ire Herald is received is the following
from the Guthrie Capital:
Judge Henry W. Scott has been a liv-
ing sensation. He has worked in more
newspaper advertising free. at top of
column next To pure reading matter,
than any man of his age living in the
west. When he moved 70 New York and
entered the law business there ne knew
the Srst thing he needed was advertis-
ing. This is an expesive article in met
ropolltan papers. Judge Scott got
around this expense by writing a five
column sensation about Bogus Divorces
i'm Okla homa." He conjured up one
Mrs NJ. B. Sheridan" whose. CORES
pondence was printed whereby she Sc
cuGed, through A turn OF Oklahoma's
lightning divorce mill, after a thiry-day
application, a decree Of divorce, without
leaving New York.
The modest Oklahoma City lawyer to
whom she wrote at first refused 10 enter
into this dirty business" of procuring
fraudulent divorce. but on payment Of
$3.50 therefor his conscience was eased.
h'he article says that the divorce decree
turned out TO be q complete forgery. 1t
purported 10 have been got In the
Tecumseh court, and TO have thereon

legged TO Mrs Sheridan that he had Sc
cured a ''depraved" woman to enter the
suit in Tecumseh in Mrs. Sheridan's
name and 10 pass as Mrs. Sheridan for
the purpose Of the suit, and that part

Guthrie, o. T, Nov. 21.-The Oklahoma

Is greatly annoyed over the manner in
whicn the Harry st. John story is grow
ing. Friends who have known the doe
tor for quarter Of a century denounce
HIM and hurry on, not waiting for an
exploration. Such an old friend met the
doctor yesterday. He would not wait
for an explanation but hurried on as if
afraid of the doctor. Others say to him,
why don't you explain" A man has

Those silly creatures, however, have

would be for Harry ST, John to go. to all
that trouble to escape and then twenty
days afterWard sill lingering among a
host OF acquaintance. They are too
silly to think that the word of the six
people who stood by the bedside and saw
him die IS of any consequence. or the
WORD Of the dozen or more who visited
him within four hours of his death when
he was unable to lift hand and only able
to mutter uninteihgible words. The en-
balmer has several times tried TO stop
the silly wagging OF tongues by declaring
that he embalmed the body of Harry ST
John, not wax figure
There is nothing strange or unusual
about the death. The Times-Journal
twenty hours before he died announced
that he was sick beyond recovery He
had then been at deaths door for ten
hodrs and had been sick a week His
Eeighbors came over and helped his sis
ter care for him. There was no secrecy
about his sickness. All the neighborS
knew il: two doctors attended him;
nurses were provided when he became
bad; four or five reputable citizens drove
out from the city to see him. When he
died his bedside was surrounded by
friends Other friends watched the re-
mains through the night. and others
came to the desolate home in the morn

forged the name Of the judge and clerk,
and in some way obtained the clerk s
seal and placed 1t thereon. He received
5000 in advance, and when he sent the
decree he did so c. o. D. with $50 addi-
tional charges, which were promptly
paid.
This story bears the ear marks of
Scott all over it. 1t appeared in the
New York. Chicago and st. Louis
papers, 1t is great advertisement for
Scott. These papers may have paid
Scott well for the article, but il they did
the price paid was only one of the ex-
pected profits of Scott. The meat of
the whole thing is in this paragraph:
The doctrine laid down by the su-
preme court in the recent case of
Beach VS.. Beach imperils every ninety
day divorce in the territory IL prop
erly attacked"
What Judge Scott wanted TO get to
the public wes the fact that nearly all
the divorces granted in Oklahoma
could be knocked out if properly at
tackled" and that former Oklahoma
judge was in New York ready to do it.
He wanted to have stream of out
ragged husbands and wives in New York
and other eastern states going 10 him
to have annulled divorce DEGREES OBJ
tanned against them in Oklahoma.
And in this the article will not doubt bear
rich fruit.
The article is a readable fiction. OF
course nothing Of the kind ever occurred.
II ii did occur Scott was equally guilty
with the young lawyer and the woman
in not sending the whole outfit 10 the
penitentiary for forgery, for the article
admits that he knew il before he left
the bench.
The article is lame in the declaration
that Judge SCOTS name was forged upon
the decree. There is not a lawyer in the
United States but who ought 10 have
sense enough 10 know that the judges
name is never signed TO copies Of these
divorce DEGREES. The decree IS made a
matter Of record upon the court journal
and trial docket .as other business and
the judges signature appears on the
court record only A copy Of the decree
would contain the name Of the clerk and
the seal OF the court as a certificate that
the decree was an exact copy OF the
court record.
