THE RoENTGEN RAYS.

"As proof of that, l must show you

Sturgis was listening in an absent

"The wound was not severe; no
bones broken. The bullet had entered
the palm of the left hand and had
passed up into the forearm"
A sudden light came into the report

unconsciously Agnes had chung to
Sprague's hand. Now, as the sense of
danger disappeared, she became
aware of what she was doing; and, in
sudden embarrassment, she with
drew her hand from his reassuring
clasp.

this unconventional hour, Miss Muir
dock, but 1 found this letter in my
studio to-day. 1t was evidently
dropped by you yesterday; and,
thinking it might be important, L"
ga letter? What letter." asked
Agnes, puzzled.
Sprague held out the sealed envel-
ope. The young girl tore it open and
cast hurried glance at its contents.
Then suddenly understanding, she
tore the paper to shreds and threw
these angrily into the fire which
burned brightly in the large open
fireplace.
ooh, that!" she exclaimed, con-
temptuously. And then after a pause:
"Do you mean to say you thought"
She stopped short, seized by a sud-
den shyness.
"What else could I think?" said
Sprague, softly.
He was watching the fragments of
paper as they flared upon the hearth.
The flame which consumed them
seemed to shed radiant glow upon
his heart.
"Then," he added, presently, and
still more softly, eff there is nothing
between you and-and him-perhaps-
perhaps 1 may hope-Miss Murdoch

His hand sought hers and found it
But the reaction had come at last
and the brave girl who had been able
to control herself in the presence Of
threatening mailman now gave way
to fit of hysterical weeping.
Sprague, not being a medical man
could hardly have known what rene
dies to employ in an emergency of this
kind. All he did was to whisper sooth
ing words in the young girls ear ant
to kiss the tears from her eyes. Bu
apparently that was enough. Evident
ly for a layman he must have possessed
considerable medical intuition; for
after sobbing awhile upon his shoul
der, Agnes quoted down gradually ant

full of relapse, continued, for per

The attention of the medical profes
sion is respectfully called to treat

AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.

II is the ambition Of the citizens OF
Guthrie to have this city the metro
polls OF the territory. To do this
every citizen has a duty to perform
by encouraging all branches of man
ufacturing Ca city without factories
Is dead) il does not matter how small
factory is--it ought to be encourag-
ed by every spirited citizen, and you
can do this by pathonizing home in
dustry anu have the pleasure OF see
ing a small factory, animated by the
community compelled to send to
other states for more men.
Mr.. /. segal has opened the New
York Cigar factory, employing first
class Gnion men, manufacturing a
fine grsde Of cigars, guaranteed to
stand the criticism Of the pshlic. Has
had thirty years experience in manu-
featuring cigars IL the city of New
York and comes to Guthrie highly
recommended making the following
well known brands:
The 10 cent cigars: Governor
Barnes and Rebecca.
The cent brands: Gun Club, CAPT
toll Sweet Rose and Little Governor.
A few questions to be considered:
/. DO the manufacturers in other
states pay our taxes to build our pub.
lie institutions and increase the valu-
alton OF property?
2. Are the citizens OF Oklahoma
justified in encouraging Eastern sweat
shop made cigars or any other line of
goods which could be manufactured
here?
3. BY demanding home production,
win stimulate the manufacturers OF
other states to come here and start
branch factories, knowing the citizens
win demand their goods
4. This territory must be the great
manufacturing disc4ict Of the South
west and it depends on the citizens for
help by asking for hcme production.
Yours respectfully.

The Santa F'e is about through with
the troubles concerning the stock and
the inability of the stookmen to take
their stock from the yards into the
pastures. AT Elgin the stock has
nearly all been taken out Of the yards
and across the river The weaker
animals that seem too much worn to
swim the river, have been left in the
yards and will probably remain there
until the river gets back to its normal
stage. At Davidson the yards are
about cleared Of cattle. Grouse creek

Old Parker'S Ghost
BY NJ. Quad.
COPYRIGHT, 1900. BY 9. B. LEWIS.


That I really and truly saw a ghost
on a certain occasion is n matter of le-
gal record. and l believe it is the only
ghost ever legally known to a commu-
nifty.
l was a boy Of II when the family
emigrated from Ohio to Michigan and
settled in a town of 1900 people. There
had just died a citizen named John
Parker, who was always referred to as
old Parker. He vas one Of the pic.
neers of the town, and his eccentrici-
ties had greatly retarded it's growth.
No one ever learned where he came
from or anything about his private
life. He came alone. lived alone and
died alone. He was a queer looking
little old man, stoop shouldered, of
stumbling gait. and there were days
when he refused to speak to any one.
He bought 200 town lots and then re.
fused to sell or lease. He built a saw.

City Council.

The city council were to meet in
the new chambers Monday after
noon, but owing to lack of quorum
adjourned until Tuesday afternoon
at 4 o'clock.
The members present at Tues
days session were Mayor Brown,
Aldermen Wineman, Davenport,
Haslam, Hanson, Mann and Aud
itor Skratass.
The minutes of the previous
meeting were read and approved,
and several bills presented.
Allan Tompkins presented a
proposition to put in a system of
waterworks, agreeing to erect a
reservoir forty to forty-fve feet on
the lot alongside Of the artisan
we'll, providing the city allow him
the free use of the water from the
artisan we'll, and grant him a fran
chise for thirty years.
The proposition seemed to be
favorably considered by the mem
bers, and was laid on the table for
further consideration at a future
meeting. This course was taken
in order to protect the city from
any loss Of good faith by the
promoter, and the reliability of the
bonds to be put up.
1t was agreed, upon motion,
to have the revised ordinances
printed in book form by the city
printing Office making the lowest
bid for the printing, and the
city auditor instructed to notify
each city paper to that effect.
The accommodations given the
press reporters IRE much appreci-
ated.

Ladies' Choice.

The ladies choice" ball given
Wednesday evening at Wineman's
hall was a great success in every
way. Not in years has such a
representative assemblage of the
city's people appeared at a social
function. All this is due, of
course, to the management of the
Royal Neighbors, under whose
auspices the party was given, sup
plemented by the aid of all those
who summoned up courage enough
to ask a gentleman friend to at
tend, and from the great number of
persons present, it appears that
the ladies of the city are decidedly
