TRADE CONDITIONS.

As an evidence of the soundness of the country's prosperous condi- tion, the trade reports are signif- cant. Only about one-ffth of the year remains to be heard from, yet there is every indication that the year 1901 will be record. breaker in all solid lines of business.
 Orders from the country are re- ported as up to the high mark of 1899, while commercial develop ment in the cities has been of permanent character. Building operations are on scale that is Ieonsonant with the increased bank clearings. The high prices of all crops have put farmers in posi-. ton to save money. In those dis tricts where dry weather affected harvests there has been at least a partial yield of cereals and fruits. The surplus of the past two or three years has served to keep off the curtailment of the usual plenti- ful2supplies.
 Not the least pleasing part of the reports is that which deals with speculation. The public has quit buying futures and uncertain industrials. Business in this line IS dull. though trade in merehan- disc of all sorts is at its highest point. Mills are running at full blast, yet prices of speculative stocks are slowly getting down to their normal level.
 It is unnecessary to say that this IS q satisfactory state of affairs. When it is remembered that the speculation at the time of the Northern Pacific deal was a high water mark in financial history and that since then President has been assassinated, this solid condi- ton Of the country's trade seems more wonderful. The two events that might have brought ruin to the country by precipitating panics only served to put trade on saner basis Republic.
 The Republic is great, nation al, newspaper and'gathers its in- formation rom the whole coun- try. But, assuming the Republics views of the country's general condition to be true, it will not warrant people in localities like ours, where the crops have fail ed, and the price of their leading product is low, in being extrav- agant and running, uselessly, in debt. General prosperity may prevail and, vet, some portions ot the country may suffer, and unless economy, industry and frugality are exercised our sec tion will most likely be one of them. Let our people realize truly the situation, and live as nearly within their means as it is possible for them to do.

 Gov. Davis seems to think that 1t is necessary for him to come to the relief of ex-Governor Clark in his race for the U. S. Senate against Senator Jones and at Fort Smith, a few days since, he informed the people that he was a Clark man. Most men occupying the exalted posi- tion of Governor would have kept mum as to his preference between the aspirants for the Senate; but 1t appears that all sense of propriety is lacking in the present incumbent. It is certainly unusual, if not unprec- edented, for the chief executive of a state to intermeddle in the campaigns of Democratic candi- dates, and this Aggression on the part of Mir. Davis is totally in- excusable, while not in the least unexpected from him. Ex-Gov. Clark is certainly able to take care of himself, and most men, who believe in fair play, will readily conclude that he should have been left to do so. Gov. Davis has had a great pull with the people, and may have it yet, but that was no reason for. but a strong reason against, his using his influence for either one or the other of the candidates for the Senate. It is violent presumption to conclude that no other man in the State has the ability to enlighten the masses but MT. Davis. With ex-Gov. Clark on the stump. shrewd and astute as he is, with more po- litical foresight and wisdom in a minute than Gov. Davis ever did or ever will have, could not have the people been informed of everything that was necessary concerning the Senatorial race? It certainly looks that way.
 Then what excuse had Mir. Davis for madly plunging into the arena, except to sway the power of the Gubernatorial of

So far as the MoNTIcELLoNIAN IS concerned, 1t has no favors to ask of either Jones, Clark or Da- wis, but 1t does believe in fair play, and in the Senatorial cam paign 1t thinks it would have been the proper thing for the Governor of the State to have held aloof and permitted the candidates for the Senate to have fought their own fight.

BOTH Democrats and Republi- cans are wondering what Presi- dent Roosevelt will do next. About the first thing of impor- tance that he did was to appoint ex-Gov. Jones, a leading Ala bama Democrat, to Federal Judgeship; and before the Dem ocrats ceased to applaud his ac- ton, he took Booker T. Wash ington, the Alabama negro lead CT, to dine with him at the White House, and before the country had recovered from this shock, he has appointed a Dem- ocrat collector of Internal Reve- nue for the District of South Carolina.

HEALTHY CAUTION.

In the cautious reluctance of the general public to invest large ly in speculative securities there is found a gratifying indication of the fact that the average American, willing as he is by temperament to take chances, is yet shrewdly practical in his hazards.
 The commerce and industries of the United States are at this moment perhaps more prosper ous legitimately than ever be- fore. The natural desire of spec ulators under such conditions is to tempt the public into ven- lures based on the "boom'' of values is inevitable. This at tempt has already been made in this instance.
 But, to the surprise of the makers, the public has not re- sponded in the amply foolish way that was so confidently expect ed. It seems to be the opinion of the ordinarily prosperous

The influence OF the present adj
ministration is largely banked up
on by Delegate Flynn, whose
"sure cinch" tip is reinforced by
the following observations upon
territory conditions:
Since the recent opening Of sew
eral reservations, the population
OF the territory has increased at
lesst 10000 making a population
now Of half million, which 10 be.
ing constantly augmented by inn
migration. President Roosevelt
feels a greater interest in 'Oklaho-
ma, as many of bis rough riders
were residents of the territory.
He visited the territory after his
nomination last year, 20 attend
the reunion Of the rough riders and
made many friends down there.
He long ago gave assurance that
he wanted TO zee Oklahoma one OF
the most prosperous states Of the
Republic. and it will give him no
little pleasure TO sign a bill max
ing the territory one Of the states.

KILLED ON FRISCO.


Deputy United States Marshal
John Poe, of Mill Creek. was kill
ed on the north bound Frisco ex-
cursion train yesterday evening
about 8:45, a short distance south
of Ravia.
The following injured men are
under arrest at Mill Creek: B. w.
Taylor, of Holdenyille, |. T., skull
fractured above lett eye and several
cuts about the head; Ben Taylor,
of Holdenville, several bad cuts
and slight fracture above left eye;
George Yargee, an Indian, of We
tumka, skull fractured; Dave
Branon, OF Holdenville, cut and
fracture over eye.
There are many conflicting
stories but from the best informa
tion obtainable the story of the
killing is about as follows:
Poe with Posseman Neely were
trying to arrest B. w. Taylor for
disturbing the peace. He had pre-
viously struck Poe over the eye
with a bottle, il is said, and had
gone into the smoker where Poe
attempted to place him under ar
rest. He started to handcuf him
when Taylor knocked him down.
Neely then struck at Taylor with
his gun. Taylor grabbed the gun
with both hands and succeeded in
getting it away from Neely. He
turned it on Taylor who was just
getting up. The ball entered un-
der Poe's right arm on line with
the right nipple, coming out just
below the ribs on the right side.
Death came instantly.
It is claimed there was a general
fight in which those under arrest
are implicated. d.-Denison Herald.

HAY TAX LEGAL.


The attorney general of the
United States, to whom The inte-
rior department sent the petition
of certain Cherokee citizens, ask
insking relief from the tribal ex-
port tax on hay, has returned his
opinion to the department, sus-
tanning the authority Of the Chero-
kee Nation to levy tax of 20
cents per ton on prairie hay
shipped out OF the nation.
The department will. as a con-
sequence, deny the petition, and
the tribal law will continue in
force.

WHY so MANY FAIL
The Reasons So Many Catarrh Rem
edies are Unsuccessful.

There are few troubles. for which
there are SO many remedies and So
called cures" as for catarrh and 1t
may be added there are few diseases
50 difficult to really and permanently
cure.
1nhalers. sprays. powders and dou-
ches are all applied locally and give
temporary relief, often FOR only few
hours, and 1t is doubtful If anything
like a real cure of catarrh was ever
accomplished by the use of local APP
plications.
Catarrh is a constitutional disease,
1t Is in the blood like rheumatism
and 60 cure it requires an internal
medicine to act upon the blood, to
drive out the catarrhal poison from
the system entirely and anyone can
readily see that q salve or powder
or inhaler which simply clears off the
mucous membrane Of the nose and
throat can have no eject on the real
cause of catarrhal disease.
The remarkable success of the new
catarrh remedy. Stuart's Catarrh Tab
| let's Is because IL drives out of the
system through the natural channels,
| the catarrhal poison, the germs of grip,
| bronchitis and consumption ana
causes the hawking, splitting and gag
ging because the excessive secretion is
no longer supplied when the blood il
| made healthy from the regular use of
! Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
The remedy is in the form of large
! 20 grain lozenges, pleasant and pala-
table, composed only of wholes me
antiseptics and SO safe to use that
! little children use them with perfect
safety and benefit. If the little one Is

| Stuarts Catarrh Tablets have been
on the market scarcely one year. yet
they have met with such popularity
and success that druggists every
where in United states and Canada
now have them in stock and report IA
constantly increasing demand for them.
