New York is the most expensive city
in the world to live in, and yet New
York has restaurant where full meal
can be had for cents. For cent the
eater gets bowl of coffee, very good
coffee too, and one slice of bread, not
cut thin. IT he wants to indulge in a
gorgeous square meal; be buys bowl
of nourishing pea soup for another cent,
and gives an additional cent for two
more slices of bread. There is full
pint of coffee, and there is quart OF
pea soup. All are clean and Of good
quality. The proprietor makes it pay.
He buys bread day old by the barrel
for 40 cents. His tramps and Migrants
thus get better bread than their rich
fellow citizens do.

and poured out glass Of Ice water.
The judge, who Is nervous and testy,
had observed the young man and frowned
down on the glued hair and glasses. When
the young man boldly walked up to the
bar and took glass Of Ice water the judge
fairly boiled with indignation at such
temerity amounting almost to contempt.
The young man was just raising the glass

'That water, siy, Il for attorneys and

The glass almost dropped from his hand,
he started violently, turned red, then
placed the glass on the table and walked
out of the court. The Judge chuokled.

Slow, but Healthy.

The Italian battleship Christoforo Co.
lombo has u curious arrangement for fur
nishing her seamen with drinking water.
Experience proved that drinking large
quantities of cold water after violent exer-
else, especially while cruising in the trop-
les, caused many deaths. The water tanks
on the battloship were designed to prevent
such indiscretion.
The water tanks on the vessel are con-
nected with innumerable little rubber
hoses and on the end of each hose Is a
small rubber nipple. When any seaman
wants drinking water he must turn stop
cock and then suck it through the hose
and nipple. IL is slow work, but it has
been found that 1t preserves many vala-
able lives.-San francisco Post.

Jones Wants a Flag Day,

CHICAGO, Oct 2l.-Chairman Jones of
the Democratic national committee has
issued the following appeal: 1.-The Ameri-
can flag has always been the emblem of
national honor, and 1t will always remain
so. 1t is too sacred to be prostituted to
partisan purposes, as has been attempted
for the first time in this campaign Its
influence has always been for good to all
mankind Its display is always potent for
the advancement of all that is best in our
government, for it appeals to every senti-
ment of patriotism and national pride. l
therefore suggest that on Saturday, Oct
81, all those who desire to preserve the
oountry's honor and independence as 1t
came to us from the fathers, who believe
In the rights of every man, rich or poor,
to cast a free and untram meled ballot,
who oppose government by corporations
and the coercion of voters and desire that
real and genuine prosperity may once
again return to bless our people, display
the national colors at their homes their
places of business and wherever else they
may be seen, in order that the voters
whose hearts are with their country may
be cheered and their purposes strengthen
ed, and that those who are wavering may
take courage of their patriotism to per-
form their duty as citizens, to the end
that government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people, shall not perish
from the earth "

Day-Osborne's Prediction.
ATLANTA, Oct. 21.-After a protracted
and exciting debate the Democratic state
committee rejected the Populist fusion
proposition, declaring it to be insulting to
the Democrats in its wording.
1t is held further that the state commit
tee has no right to take down the Demo-
cratic electors, as demanded by the Popu-
lists. The Populists are standing upon
their original proposition and are await
ing the formal answer of the Democratic
committee.
The Democratic resolution refusing fu-
sion is as follows:
Resolved. That the Populist committee, hav-
ing made proposition which completely ig-
nores fusion by eliminating entirely the can
didacy of the Democratic nominee for vice
president, Mr.. Sewall, and has cut off the
Democratic committee from further consider
alton of the question by fixing an arbitrary
limit, which expires today, giving this com
mittee no opportunity for consideration of a
movement for proper fusion therefore, be it
Resolved, That the chairman of this com
mittee appoint a committee of five, of which
he shall be chairman, to properly present to
the public the attitude of this committee on
the refusal to SSSept the unreasonable and un-
Just ultmatum of the Populist committee,
clothed as it is in offensive and unbecoming
language.
The ultimatum of the Populist central
committee, to which these resolutions
were intended as a reply, proposed as a
final effort to procure the union of the sill
yer forces on six Populist electors and in
sisting that the Democratic party with
draw six of their electors. substituting the
remaining six Populist electors with the
understanding that the 10 should cast
their vote for Bryan and Watson.

PERRY, o. t., Oct. 20.-From Tonka-
wa 20 miles north Of Perry, comes word
that h. I. Brooke, an alleged English no.
bleman, shot and killed three men who
were trying to rob him.
In the early days of Perry, Brooke owned
more real estate here than any other man
who located in the town. He formerly
lived in st. Louis, where he located when
he came from England, where, 1t is said,
he was member of the nobility of Great
Britain. His parents are rioh and he has
an income of 500 600 year.
1t is thought that the outlaws went to
his place for the purpose of getting his
money. This Brooke refused to submit to,
and fight occurred, in which Mrs. Brooke
took part Many shots were fred, and it
Is reported that three men were killed.
One man, whose name is thought to be
Sample, was found dead in Brooke's yard,
and, it is reported, two Others have died
from wounds received in the fight.
Brooke was for several months after the
opening of the Cherokee strip one of Per-
ry's best known business men. Mrs
Maude Parker was selected by him as
bookkeeper and later as housekeeper, and
two years ago they were married. She
was formerly the wife of prominent cat
tleman. The pair left Perry one year ago
for their country home, in the northern
part of this county.
