H|GHNAYAEN At DIXIE
Man and Boy Line Up Ten
Men in a Store
WHO TAKE IT AS A JOKE
Until Painfully Convinced
That 1t Is the Real Thing,

Cleveland, o. T., Nov. 1s.-Ten men who
at first thought it was a joke, were lined
in store at Dixie, ten miles down the
river from Cleveland, Tuesday evening,
by highwaymen, and a scene Of excite
ment followed, in which there were sew
eral odd situations arthur Bridwell, Of
the Cleveland Triangle, went down TO
Dixie and got the particulars Of the af-
fair and prints the following account in
this weeks Triangle:
Tuesday evening al about o'clock a
man armed with a Winchester, and a
boy probably Is years old with a 3 rife,
rode in from the north and went into the
S. F. Drown Coz store at Dixie and de-
manded the half dozen or so men and
boys TO hold up their hands. Most Of
them thought 1t a huge joke being perpe-
trated by some OF the boys, but upon be-
ing jabbed with the guns in the region
where the stomach-ache usually occurs,
they concluded that ii was the real arti-
Gle. After lining the people up along
the side Of the store. the man with the
Winchester told Horace Drown to open
the cash drawer. Drown told him that
ne was too badly scared to open the COM
bination, whereupon the man caused
Drown to look up the bore Of his gun
and remarke dthat he would blow a little
sense into him. While this was taking
place the people of the neighborhood be-
gan TO drop in, and as they came in at
the doc rthey wee told: Hold up your
hands and line up, brother a young
man by the name Of Owens didn't be-
heve it was necessary, so he made a grab
for the youngsters gun and would have
taken 1t away had not the other robber
said: Turn loose Of that gun or III have
to kill you Mr.. Lacy also came in and
did not heed the young robbers request,
but pushed on past the youth and did not
heed the request until the older man had
punched him in the stomach for some
time with the business end Of his Win
chester. After taking between s25 and $50
in money from the drawer the older Of
the robbers looked all over the stock Of
goods, selecting two sacks Of clothes
three pair and a half Of hfgh-heeled
boots. Nos. land g. a pair Of woman $
shoes, six or seven pairs of bpckskin
gloves and a number Of other things. The
booty filed three grain sacks. and in all
amounted to about $50. When the men
got all they wanted they marched the
ones they had lined up about $50 wards
down the road TO the south and after
turning them loose fired a few shots To
intimidate the crowd and spurred off to
the south. Both the robbers had dark
hair and eyes, the rest of their features
being hidden by red handkerchiefs which
were fastened over the nose and back
above the ears. The younger Of the two
was evidently boy and new to the bust
ness, as those who were there say that
his voice was shaky and he seemed al
most as badly scared as the rest. The
older man seemed to be an old hand at
the business and was giving lessons TO
the young one. The boy was quite small
and the man was tall and spare built"

FIGHT AGAINST SIDNEY CLARKE
Story Cropped Ont Of Inactivity of
Oklahoma CITY Meeting

Guthrie. o. T.. Nov. 1s.-There will be a
fight on Judge Clarke when It comes right
down TO really doing something TO send
him 70 congress to push the statehood
campaign this winter The executive
committee at Oklahoma City yesterday
afternoon did not In fact. ask him to
go 1t was moved by Senator Frank Gil
lett OF FL Reno that the committee raise
money 20 send someone and he sug-
gested Mr. Clarke. The men who were
at the committee meeting to oppose
Clarke got the committee to quibbliug
about the necessity OF raising funds be-
fore anybody was employed TO go and as
the final result IT was decided 70 raise
some money 10 send somebody and that's
all Uhe west end Republicans viii op-
pose Clarke. or. at least. say they will.
Owing 10 the opinion that has com
neneed to crop out over the territory that
Clarke is after the fusion nomination for
congress he will have some opposition
in his own party and the fact that state
hood Is a non-Dartison affair affords ex-
cuse enough to allow anybody and every
body to give Clarke a whack. The prin-
ciDal opposition % Clarke IN his own
party viii come from the plans of men
who expect to be candidates for congress
and who are not willing 70 allow Clarke
the advantage Of pulls he may get out Of
heading the statehood lobby.
There Is a good deal OF comment on the
enthusiasm with which the meeting AZ
Oklahoma City didn't do anything yester-
day. but 10 the close observer that IN
activity was in reality the beginning 81 a
fight on Clarke. who has been doing
Washington now every session of con-
gress IN the interest Of statehood.

With Local Papers.
CAMPAIGN IN CONGRESS

Oklahoma City. o. T, Nov. K-It was
the general expression of sentiment at the
heeting here yesterday that the opposi-
ton Of statehood in the Indian Territory
is not on the square and that those peo-
pie win tumble over themselves to get in
when they see that Oklahoma is about 10
win out. W. 7. Little, who has been
with the Doves commission in the terri
tory all summer, says he has been told
by number of the heaviest property
holders here that the opposition to state
hood holds because Of the belief that
statehood will increase taxes and lessen
the chances for stiff speculation, but that
the minute it becomes evident that Okla
homa is going 10 win they'll all climb
on with neatness and dispatch. AT any
rate, the opposition of the Indian Terri
tory will not cut any figure with Okla
homa in the future, though II has re-
tarded results in the past in measure.
IF We get statehood well have two
senators and several congressman 10 help
Us get free homes" said Senator Clarke
at the meeting yesterday. I'VE are now
in the position of the man who has lum-
Der and material and everything essential
for the construction Of a new house. but
We have no tools Our delegate, Mr..
Flynn. Is a man of unusual energy and
will do ell man can, but he has no
vote" This statement was cheered.
A new step will be taken this year The
big western newspapers will be asked 10

Usher of the Northwestern Magazine.
since his visit 10 Oklahoma, has taken
stand in favor of Oklahoma's claim to
statehood and he viii write a number OF
articles on the matter. besides having
agreed 10 use HIS personal influence IN
Washington, and no other newspaper
writer in America has a stronger per
sonal influence in congress than Mr.

Oklahoma newspapers will be furnished

Lon V. Stephens is the first native
born Governor of Missouri: neighboring
Kentucky has furnished the rest.
AS chief executive of the State Of
Missouri his policy is business-like,
economical and progressiveN
Gov. Stephens frankly and freely rec
ommends Paine's celery compound. He
has been greatly benefited by 1t, and
whenever there Is sickness in his family
Palncs celery compound is the remedy
that is used.
As a witness to the wonderful efficacy
of this remedy, especially In spring, the
experience of the Chief Executive of
the state told In the following letter can
not be slightingly passed over.
Executive Department,
State OF Missouri,
Jefferson City, Feb. S. 1899.
Gentlemen:
l have used Paine's celery compound.
keep 1t in my house for family use, and
find 1t a splendid remedy. s
Very respectfully yours.
LON V. STEPHENS.
Why is Paine's celery compound to-
day the most successful spring remedy
in the world?
1t Is so wonderfully successful simply
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1899-03-11

because 1t accomplishes in every in
stance exactly what Is claimed for 1t.
And of what other remedy can that
be said?
Every form of nervous trouble, wheth-
er localized in the muscles, heart. brain
or in the nerves themselves. Is cured
to stay cured-by Paine's celery COM
pound. Every kind~and degree OF i'm
poverishment of the system Is overcome
bythis greatest of all irvigorators after
other remedies have shown no beneficial
effect.
1t Is the spring remedy vouched for
by physicians, teachers and wcll-rcad,
wcllinformcd men and women in every
part of the country.
People are everywhere dying OF OK
hausted nervous energy or dragging out
their lives In pain ard discomfort, be-
cause Of SleeplCssncss. nervousness and
fagged-out brains. The objective poin,
Paines' celery compound In successfully
curing such nervous troubles Is TO feed
the nerves. build up the wasted BRAIN
parts. nourish the tissues and increase
the constructive capacity OF the blood.
Health and renewed life TO all the ncr-
rous tissues thus take the place of the
lctharEy and the debility of disease
when Painc's celery compound is en-
ployed.
