= ROMANCE OF A NEW STATE.
Oklahoma's History Is One of the
aiarveIs of This Great Nation.


The story of the coming state of Oklaho-
ma promises to afford an example of rapid
ity of growth unmatched in the history of
any other commonwealth in any age or
country. Hitherto, when an instance of uu-
paralleled progress has been wanted by way
of illustration, the history of Chicago has
been cited with full confidence that it could
not be matched That confidence and the
stupendous facts on which it rests will
still remain, but Oklahoma will occupy in
the list of states the position held by the
Western metropolis in the list of munich
palities. Both are giants in infancy, with
unlimited facilities of growth and an as
sured prospect of increasing greatness. Just
as Chicago has grown in area by annexa-
tion of the adjacent towns, villages and
farming lands, Oklahoma is destined to
expand by taking in the Indian territory
Governor Barnes latest annual report
upon the conditions of Oklahoma reads
more like tale from the arabian Nights
than the sober reality which we know it
to be. On June 1, 1900, the census enum-
erators found $4,000 inhabitants in the
territory and the 100000 mark has been
passed since that count. That is about
equal to 10 Nevadas and more than SO per
cent ahead of the District of Columbia.
The governor states that the assessed valu-
alton of property in 1900 is, in round figures
$4,000 coo, an increase OF $6 OO00 900 over
1889, and within her limits there are still
almost s, 6,CO0,0G0 acres CT public lands sub
ject to entry The $40, COO of taxable
valuation represents s135,000,COO of actual
value of property. The products of her
farms, mines and factories in the fiscal
year aggregated $4,000, 600. She has 1OO,-
COO children enrolled in her public schools
with 1900 in the higher educational institu-
tions. Her public school enrolment is
double that of this district And there is
something marvellous in 1000 enrolment
in Institutions for liberal education in a
region that was a wilderness II years ago.
At 1:59 a. M. on April 22 1S99 there
was not an inhabitant in Oklahoma all the
squatters having been expelled by the
United States troops. At sunset of that
memorable day Oklahoma contained $4,000
inhabitants. At 2 o'clock in The afternoon
of the opening day bank with $4,000 capi-
tai was established in a tent at Guthrie a
town born a few minutes earlier. The
sowing of 100000 acres of wheat began that
day and towns by the score were staked
out before sunset. The next day schools
were established and churches were in pro-
gress of erection-not very stately struc-
lures, but magnificent attestations Of the
spirit Of the pioneers. On May -. 1899,

Dear Sir:-Believing 1t to be my duty
to the public I will send you for publi-
cation (if you so elect) an account Of the
benefit myself and family have received
from using your Dead Shot to Catarrh.
Last fall l caught heavy cold and
could not break it up, and it resulted In
catarrh in the head. 1t kept growing
worse and commenced to settle on my
lungs; 1t bothered me to breathe; / was
raising large quantities of phlegm and
I was very much worried over my con-
dition. 1t so happened was delegate
to the State Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union, last winter, and the last
evening of the session. had been at
committee meeting, and Eric Olson,
state lecturer of F.. A. & l. IT,, was pres
ent, and Just as we were parting he
took out Of his pocket little box and
commenced putting something into his
nostrils. asked him what 1t was; he
said 1t was Dead Shot to Catarrh.
asked him If it was good for 1t: he said
1t had been highly recommended to him.
told him l had been suffering with
catarrh for some time and asked him to
let me try it; he did SO and l took the
name of the man who made it, ]. B.
Dukes, of Minneapolis. The next morn.
ing found it had helped me very much.
When l got home l sat right down anil
sent In an order for one-half dozen
boxes, and before had used half of one
box l was cured. The ringing in my
ears had stopped, and it had cleaned
cut my lungs. / could feel the accumu-
lation in my lungs loosen and raised I:

tried several remedies, and among them

box of Dead Shot before the bleeding
was stopped and she was almost well.

this section and l have got to find one
person that has used it who is not con-
vinced that 1t Is the only remedy tha:
will cure catarrh, thereby preventing so
many from dying with consumption.
Everyone who uses it tries to keep it III
the house, as it is sure cure for cold
as soon as it is contracted. l am con-
vinced that after a person has once had
catarrrh, 1t being a parasite, the men,
brane of the nose will never get natural
again, and they will always be more
susceptible to colds and catarrh; but
with Dead Shot to Catarrh always On

THE TIP TALKS.
A "Xawp" From the Boss of Our
Land.

/ am the Tip,
The symbol of servility,
Come to this land
Where men were men
And masters were unthought,
From lands where masters
Tossed their coin
AS crumb to dogs
And vassals clinging to the dust,
Caught up the largest of their lords
And took the pittance
AS sign of masters kindness
To his man.
To such land
From lands as these l came
With hand out-stretched
To catch the pennies that might fall
And now where am l at?
The TIP is Boss
OF this broad land
Whose primal instrument
Made every man alike;
And I'm the Tip.
Go where you will,
l meet you everywhere;
Ask what you will,
And | come forth
To make your askings of avail
Before l came
Men, in the lowier walks
Were men not less,
And service rendered in the field
OF their domain,
Was duty done
For which they had their fair reward;
And duty done
Made common level of all men.
But l have wrought a change;
By me is duty oyerthrown,
And l bring labor down,
Uncapped before the world,
TIC hold it's hand out.
Clinging to the DUST.
To catch what those who give may dro.
l put beggar's brand
On all who take me as their cwn,
And make land of, underlings
Of .hat which manhood claimed
And set apart
AS one and only OF it's kind.
/ am the Tip,
The dollar or the dime, IS
And back of me u
The spirit of the old time stands,
OF lord ard liege;
l am the plain confession of the weak
That they must have the strong
70 bow before
And render service to;
1 break the Declaration into bits
And make the Flag
A colored supplement- to shame;
l am all things
I'm American.
And yet live and thrive and spread,
To kill the spirit of the land
That has adopted me.
My followers ask no thanks,
Revle them if you WILL
But give them Me
And they will be content.
/ make them draw the line
Between the servant and the served;
They set the flunkey seal
Upon themselves,
And lose their manhood for tip.
That's me;
See?
