WELL WELLi-NlTi

The annual Oklahoma statehood
conventions are being pulled of
now. Oklahoma wants all there is
in sight. They are after the Qua
paw country just now. The Okla.
homa State Capital naively re-
marks: "Quapaw county would
add much to the wealth and 10000
to the population of Oklahoma.
Generally speaking, it's annexation
would be good thing. We see no
objection whatever to II. The bill
ought to pass. We believe II will
pass" The feelings of the Qua
paws apparently are not to be con-
suited. Taxes is what the Oklaho-
mans want and the Quapaws can
help.-Vinita Leader.
The people of the Quapaw Agen-
cy will, at least the most of them,
fight any such scheme to finish.
They are not anxious to help Okla
homa pay her enormous debts. In
fact they are getting along nicely
and have no desire to make
change. There would be no sense,
let alone justice, in saddling onto
the people of the Quapaw Agency a
part of Oklahoma's big debt and
horde of petty county officers, and
we sincerely hope that the scheme
will be knocked out.

MAT CAKE WALK.

the First Prize I'D. Boiler
and Lady the Secoad.
The cake walk given by the A. n.
8. church at the city hall on Mon
day night of this week was the
swellest affair of the season, and
the several hundred people who
witnessed the contest thoroughly
appreciated every detail. Early In
the evening the people began to az
semble In the hall and by g. O'Clock
every seat In the hall was taken and
at $50 o'clock standing room was al
q premium.
Rev. Glover, under whose direc-
ton the affair was given, selected
as Judges Arthur Young Of Galena,
Morgan Cheatum of Lowell and
David w. Hurt of Baxter.
Miss Katie Glover presided at the
piano and rendered excellent music.
Prior to the cake walk a grand
march was INDUCED in by those
who were to contest for the cake.
Then came the cake walk, and
such time as was had by every
body! Most everybody had favor
lite, of course, and every participant
was cheered loudly. The cake walk
proper was led by Harry Sutton of
Galeua, formerly of this city. and
right here we want to say that Har-
ry understands the business.
The participants were Mr.. Sam
Turner and Miss Leila Glover of
New York City, Mr.. Ed. Boiler and
Miss Birdie Cox of Boston, Mr.. o.
born Powell and Misc Nellie Wheat
on of London, England. Mr.. James
Gillespie and Mise Alice Powell of
Cincinnati, Mr.. Will Gillespie and
Miss Daley Glover of Chicago. aud
Mr.. Joseph Cole and Miss Letha
Powell of St. Louis.
After the introduction Of the par
Elephants by Mr.. Sutton the walk
began.
Each had a part to perform and
each made hit with the audience.
The contestants were all dressed
"to kill" and showed of to splendid
advantage. And the way they
bowed to those cakes was caution!
The walk iasted about one hour.
and the judges, after mature delib-
Grafton, decided that Mr.. Sam Tur-
ner and Miss Leila Glover of New
York City were entitled to the frs,
prize, a great big, three-story cake.
The second prize, smaller cake.
was awarded to Mr.. ed. Boiler and
Miss Birdie Cox of Boston. Mr..
Osborne Powell and Miss Nellie
Wheaton of London should, we be.
iieve, have had the second prize.
but the judges seemed to think
otherwise.
PR. Sam Turner. the successful
for the first prize, was
dressed the SWEETEST of the swell.
He was attired in neat fitting pair
Of snow white trousers. a double
white vest and a black
coat. On his head he wore
q shining silk tile and he carried
swell cane. His partner was ap
propriately dressed aud looked
lovely.
We would be pleased to give ( e
worn by each of the par
but time and space forbid.
The NEWS force is under obliga-
ions to Mr.. Turner for bountiful
supply of the first prize. and hereby

Over by the corner, for instance, Is a
table sacred on Sundays to Mrs. Aston

Vanderbilt and his friends find food and
shelter from their cruel domestics, and
the price of the dinner reaches a dizzy
hight, because every table has it's exclu-
