present aud be acknowledged SER
vice Of the same. The eradication
of the name of every negro from
the rolls, NAV be the ultimate re-
suit Of the suit instituted yester-
day. While the names of the
negroes that the court is asked to
restrain the commission from en-
rolling are specified, ruling may
be obtained on a far more import
ant point during the hearisg of
the suit. that will effect the status
of every freedman.
In case the opportunity doee
not present'itself later suit will
be filed that will attack the rights
of the freedmen as body, to any
interest in the national estate. 1t
is well known that before final
partitionment takes place that the
nation will make desperate effort
to recover their lands from the
freedmen, aud the present case
may probably present the oppor-
tunity to inaugurate the battle.

GREAT COMMONWEALTH
That VIII Be BuIIded Out OF The
Twin Territories.

The proposed merging OF Okla
homa and the Indian Territories,
into one great state, to be admit
ted into the union at the next ses-
sion ofcongress, if consumated will
add to the sisterhood of states q
sectien of wonderful natural re-
sources.
Oklahoma AM Indian Territory
combined would have population
of over 100000 inhabitants and
would occupy the twentieth posi-
tion among the states OF the union
from the standpoint ofpopulstion.
In wealth and natural resources
it would be exceeded by only ten
states in the union. Oklahoma
already produces more agricul-
tural products in proportion to
the number of square miles than
any of the forly-fvs states. The
lands of Indian territory are eq-
ually fertile and rich, while in ad-
dition the lattsr territory posses
ses some of The richest coal fields
TO be found anywhere in the coun-
try, and oil. asphalt and other
minerals, according to the geo.
graphical reports. are to be found
in the Choctaw and Cherokee ma
tions in large quantities.
Considered from the standpoint
of population, natural wealth and
diversified industries, the two ter
ritories combined would make
state far superior to any admitted
into the union in the last twenty
years aud exceeded but by few Of
the older states.

FEAR DiSSENSI0N
In Statehood Convention will Have
Rad Effect on Congress.

Guthrie, Ok, Aug. 16-Dele-
gate Dennis T. Flynn, who says
that he is confidently of the opin-
ion that Oklahoma will be given
statehood at the next session OF
Congress, is in favor of holding a
non- partisan statehood convention
this fall TO take such steps as will
impress Congress with the necess-
ily and justice OF Immediate state
hood. He wants statehood for
Oklahoma regardless Of the Indian
territory, but would offer no OBJ
lection to adding Indian territory
TO Oklahoma after the latter has
thrown off territorial government.
Flynn's position is fairly out
lined in the Fairbanks statehood
bill. Naturally he wishes to see
Oklahoma the beneficiary of all
political and other advantages that
might accrue from her getting
statehood without waiting for In
dian territory.
A leading member Of the Nom
partisan Statehood league, an Ok
lahoma organization, said today
that he doubted the wisdom of
holding a statehood convention
this fall. He feared that conflict
ing opinions on the question Of
single or separate stateho cd might
provoke much dissension in the
convention, tbatinjury rather than
benefit would result and Oklahoma
be handicapped in her fight in
Congress next winter. The league
met at Guthrie during the sitting
of the Legislature last winter and
appointed a committee to draft
memorial to Congress. This me-
mortal has never been prepared.
The league members who doubted
the wisdom of holding conven-
ton thought that memorial prop
erly written and presented would
have greater effect in Congress
than the holding Of another con-
yention. Should il be thought
best to hold convention it will
be called to meet about October Is
or November 1.

Messrs. Geo. Purdy and Geo. Hanks
OF Smyrna are only few that have been
snatched from the hot beds OF misery
and transported TO the port OF health,
by skill and science.
Messrs. Purdy and Hanks, as well as
many others, had % and q teeth ex-
tracted without pain by DR.. Blankner' s
original method. After the operation
they felt better than they did before.
They never lost moments time from
business, and, TO use their own express
sion, the entire extraction did not hurt
as much as one minute Of toothache.
The gums were not lacerated a particle,
the teeth were not broken and with
the extraction of each tooth would
come a smile and conviction that DR..
Blankner is the most expert operator
in the state. Ii is the concensus OF
opinion i'm the surgical world that
ordinarily the extraction of teeth gives
more pain than any other operation on
the human system. 1t makes nc
difference what condition your teeth
may be in DR.. Blankner's work is all
uniform.
Miss Emma Wise who was continual.
ly sick with stomach trouble and ueu.
ralgia, has experienced the very best oil
health since she had all of her diseased
teeth extracted by Dr. Blankner about
two months ago, which were about Is
in number.
