GUTHRIE CLERKS HOT
Ministers Want Stores Closed
From 1890 to 1890.
CLERKS VERYMUCH PREFER
Their CIoSe-at- Noon -and-Eat-
Turkey Custom.

Guthrie, o. T. Nov 2s.-The clerks Of
Guthrie are hot at the ministers of the
various churches of the city over what
they deem the latters interference with
their Thanksgiving privileges. It has
been the custom with the merchants of
Guthrie to close their stores at noon on
Thanksgiving and other public holidays,
thus affording their clerks an opportunity
for haIf-holidays enjoyment. This
year there is a likelihood that this priv
ilege will be curtailed, because, as they
allege, the ministers have peutioned the
merchants to close their stores from
1870 o'clock until 1890, so that the clerks,
however this course may deprive them
of the enjoyment of turkey and plum
pudding, will not lack for gospel food.
In consequence Of this proposed new de-
parture the clerks are wrathy at the
ministers and have sent the following
protest to the newspapers:
a committee of ministers have got a
majority Of the merchants in Guthrie to
sign a petition closing their stores on
Thanksgiving day between the hours Of
1870 a. m. and 1870 p. m; in other words,
during the hours that services are held in
the arious churches. Now, what is the
result of this to the merchants and
clerks? Whereas, heretofore we closed
up at y m, and stayed closed all day,
enabling all to enjoy our turkey and
other good things incident to that day,
we, according to the petition signed, will
have to be back in our stores when We
ought to be sitting down to our dinner.
This action on the part of the ministers
seems to us to be selfish. We think the
majority Of both clerks and merchants
are more interested in our holiday and
our holiday dinner than in going to
church on this day. Both Of them are in
perfect order, but If we could have only
one, then give us our usual holiday, so
that we can spend it in our family cir
Gle, as usual. BY the way, what would
he the matter with the stores closing at
1890 and staying closed all day? Then
we could take in both Of them, the
church and the holiday. Or is Guthrie
not far enough advanced in United States
civilization to participate in this great
national holiday? SOME CLERKS.

FINE WEATHER IN OKLAHOMA
FrOsts Few and Light and Wheat in
Splendid Condition.

Oklahoma City, o. T., Nov. 2S.-Follow-
ing is an extract from the monthly re-
port of the United States weather bureau
here. Under observers remarks the re-
port says:
Beaver-A very pleasant month; the
vegetation still green; the few frosts hav-

condition for winter pasture. The dis
ease of blackleg less than usual at this
time of year among cattle.
Healdton-Fine, open month; no frost;
ground in fine condition for blowing.
Hopeton-Some damage was done to
wheat on sandy ground by the high
winds before the rains Of the latter part
of the month occurred.
Perry-The long, dry spell was broken
by the heavy rains of the 18th, 26th and
9th.
Ryan-Light frost on the 26th, not Sc

ton.
Waukomfs-The heavy rains Of the lat
ter part of the month soaked the ground
thoroughly Wheat is now in fine con-
dition and the outlook is very favorable.
A few grasshoppers and chinch bugs are
in the wheat, but the damage done is
very slight.
The mean temperature for October was
decidedly above normal. The first three
weeks were warm and dry, but heavy
rain set in the last of the month, which
lasted for three days, soaking the ground
thoroughly and doing a great amount OF
good. All parts Of the two territories
participated in the benefits of this gener-
Gus rain. the fall at Beaver. the best
favored being II 7inches, while at Table
quah. 100 inches fell The condition of
wheat, especially since the heavy rains
of the latter part of the month, is re-
ported as very fine. The acreage is re-
ported as very large. Though it is some
what late there are some farmers who
are still planting. Cotton picking is re-
ported as far advanced.

"IrNDER THE DOME"

A startlingly perfect stage reproduction
OF the awful hurricane which swept the
harbor of Apia March 10, 1889, is the prIn-
ciple scenic feature Of Under the Dome
which comes to the Crawford theatre
Friday night next, December !. The his
tory of the world does not contain a more
thrilling story than that of the survivors
of the war vessels which so Sallantly
fought wind and wave in the narrow
harbor during That ever-to-be-remember-
ed storm. ssNaval annals do not record
more grandly unselfsh action than that
Of the commander of the English man
of-war CailiOpe when, seeing that TO in
ger in the harbor with his giant ship
meant destruction to one and all Of tho
less powerful men-0f-war, he resolved to
take all the risks in the cora reef. His
chances were one in a million, but he did
reach the open sea- and his ship alone OF
those anchored in the harbor that day
escaped. No less heroic were the men Of
the Trenton, who, seeing the superb
struggle Of the Englishmen. sent up a
mighty cheer from $50 threats. Expect
ing certain death themselves, they re-
ioiced that their friends might yet be
saved. Again, did the men of the Tren-
ton show unheard Of courage and patrf-
otism when, 1t appearing that the final
moment Of the Trenton had Errived, the
band assembled on deck and played "The
Star Spangled Banner" In ''Under the
Dome there are three storm scenes--the
first showing the storm as seen from the
L. S. consuTs house; the second view
of the shore during the fercest moments
of the Storm and the third the wreck OF
the Trenton.
