MISSIONARY WORK.

In the absence of material-in the
shape of delegates with votes-for the
making of deals or the winning of con-
verts the boomers expended their am
munition today on the motley crowds
that invariably invade the hotels on the
eve of national convention. Much
after the fashion of the side showmen
at the circus, they took possession of
the rotundas of the hotels and held
forth to those inclined to listen con-
cerning the merits of their respective
candidates. At one time this afternoon
three distinct boomS Were in process of
advocacy on the ground floor Of the
Palmer house and the cheers and yells
and shouts and ironical CALCULATIONS of
the listeners combined to create a din
that can be as weel imagined as de-
scribed The friends of Mr.. Bland were
the most active. In addition to their
headquarters at the Palmer and the
Auditorius Annex. they opened up
rooms today in the Entresol of the Sher-
man house where a committee lay in
wait to corral such of the arriving dele
gates as might first seek quarters Of
the silver committee. Mr. Bland's
friends were in feather today and while
unable on account of the paucity Of
delegates already in sight to give out
any definite figures, insisted that the
prevailing sentiment in the city and
the advices which they were receiving
from outside. warranted them in taking
their stand that it was Bland against
the field and with the field already Civ

however, were by no means disheart-
ened by the claims Of the Bland men
and fell back on the argument that 1t
was votes rather than shouting that

Cresson. one Of the chiefs of the Boies
bureau, and who had a talk with Gov
ernor Altgeld Just before the latter left
for Springeld last night. quoted him as
declaring that he had not spoken a
word on the subject of presidential pos
sibilities. that he was no more friendly
to Bland than to Boies and that the
time had not yet arrived when the llli
nois delegation could fasten itself to
any one candidate. or tbs the adher-
ents of the Iowa man managed to ex
tract considerable comfort. There was
more or less talk about the hotels today

Only one person in 1 ) has both eyes

thing TO do with it. In using weapons.
for instance, mankind has been taught
to assume for ages attitudes in which
the light hand and side have most exer-

ly lad its effect on the eye.
Old sea captains after long use of the
telescope find their right eyes much
stronger than the left-the direct effect
of exercise. This law is confirmed by
the experience of aurlsts. If person

for legislation effecting this country
for the best interests of all con
cerned, it does not believe that
much desired legislation will be
attained through misrepresenta-
tions, nor does it cOvet such a
change through such methods. The
truth plainly told is all that is
necessary to convince any fair
mind that conditions here are not
what they should be and justice
alone should be the slogan in our
effort to obtain relief. All the
hue and cry raised at Wichita
Falls. Texas, about the lawless
element infesting this country and
asking congress to make it possible
to settle it with civilized people is
the verriest buncOmbe The at
tempted bank robbery, murder of
the cashier and the subsequent
lynching of the murderers in no
way belong to Indian Ter
ritory and to so charge this
country is little less than ON out
rage. As for civilized people, we
assert with pride and confidence
that the Indian Territory possesses
a smaller per centage Of criminals
and a larger per centage of civili-
zed, God fearing people than does
that section including Wichita
Falls. There has not been for
years, in fact since the establish
ment of law and order in the
Chickasaw Nation a single bank
or train robbery, or lynching for
fear the law would not be enforced
In the language of Grover Cleve-
land, we will say to the people of

days make a preliminary canvass
of the city to determine the senti
ment of the leading business men
in regard to getting out a splendid
special edition of this paper on or
about April 10, the first anniver-
sary of the fire which practically,
for few hours wiped our town off
the face of the earth. We have
under consideration the getting out
of such an edition, the purpose of
which will be to show the wonder
\rul and unparalleled growth of our
hcity from a ruin of ashes to the
magnificent increased proportions
of the present. Our object is two
fold, first to make a little money
for ourselves and second to do an
act of missionary work for the
town and surrounding country,
the returns from which calculated
in dollars and cents will surpass
any previous effort in the direc :
ton aimed at. We realize that
present times are hard, but this we
regard as an inducement to an in
vestment for future reward and on
this high ground we ask each bust
ness man to consider the PROPOSE
ton and lend it such encourage
ment as their business judgment
