Mighty glad we are to get you on

Old Darky Tested on the Principle of
Orthography.

A spicy character by the name of

good Christian people who answered to

the name Of William Henry Jump. His
knowledge of letters was so limited
that he merely remembered the names
of few, and 1t had been so long that
he imagined that he had forgotten
more than most people knew. When
ever BILLY" was asked if he knew So
and-so, he would invariably answer
that he "uster, but had forgotten it,"
"Did you know the dictionary by

Nothing could be sadder than the cir
cumstances attending the death OF Prince
Alfred Of Saxe-Coburg on Monday In this
lonely spot left alone by his friends and
surrounded by strange faces. There is
certain mystery enveloping the whole
affair. When he arrived a fortnight ago
the young prince was already deranged
and dying Yet he was accompanied by
only single doctor
He was so weak that he could not stand.
At times he was unable even TO convey
his food TO his mouth He raved in his
delirium Of his childhood, relatives and
comrades, and had frequent fits of vio-
lence, during which he suffered agony
and would cry like a child begging his
father aud mother in heart-rending terms
to save him from the awful pains IN his
head. Toward the end these pains in
creased, causing frightful scenes. He died

entrusted with the case.

.fNENT OBJECTIONS TO THE HAVENS
Bill.

The Ell Reno Globe and many other
territorial papers, irrespective of po-
litical coloring, object to some of the
features Of the Havens statehood bill.
Most Of the objections are against the
fifth section, which provides for an
election for state officers before con-
gress shall have admitted the terri
tory as n state.
The arguments against incurring
the heavy expense for such an elec-
ton before 1t is known that statehood
win be granted, and which may be
useless, is certainly of great moment
and is entitled to the serious consider
alton Of the legislature.
The expense Of holding the consti-
tutional convention 10 frame a consti-
tuition is thing that can not be
avoided, but there are other things in
the bill required TO be done which
VIII entail tremendous cost to the
people which are wholly unnecessary
at this time. Let the legislature do
this;
First. Provide for ihe election of
the delegates and the holding of the
convention, the number Of delegates
and the ratio of representation -
Second. Prepare a memorial to
congress- setting forth the necessary
facts and asking for statehood; have
il signed by the president of the coun-
ell and the speaker of the house and
forward it to congress. This is all the
legislature now in session need do.
The convention created by it can do
the rest.
The next thing 10 be done is the
election Of the delegates TO the con
vention and the holding Of the same,
as shall be provided by the legisla-
ture.
First. The convention can, il it 30
desires it, give validity TO the constitu-
tion it shall frame and sign by the au.
thority Of its own body, to take effect
whea congress has accepted our pray
err or, II 1t is preferred that such au-
thority should come direct and In ex-
press form from the people, let il be
so expressed in some way when the
election OF the delegates to the con-
yention is held
Second-Tkis will save, as some esti.
mates say, from 100000 to $50, 900 to
the taxpayers, and il time should de-
velop that il contained defects--as
doubtless it would whether submitted
TO vote or not-these can be cured at
any subsequent general election with.
out cost TO the people.
Third-The constitution framed and
signed by the members Of the conVen-
tion can be presented by our delegate,
who viii be Hon. Dennis Flynn, when
congress meets in Decem Der next; and
in January, 1900, less than one year
hence, OklshomG can be full aedged
state.
without going into all the minutia
OF what would be necessary for the
convention to do in the preparation Of
the organic act, naming the officers
necessary for statehood. the manner
and time Of their election, and many
other things which will necessarily
devolve upon the convention to do. the |
above seems TO be not only practical,
but the speediest and cheapest way for
the consummation OF statehood and

Pers that favor statehood give an ex.
