will be the principal speaker at the
Jackson day banquet tonight and his
speech will be worth listening to.
To a reporter of the Enterprise he
talked of Oklahoma politics and Dem
ocratic chances in the territory. He
is one of the best informed young
Democrats in the territory and has
been identified with the Democratic
party here since 1883 when he locat
ed in Guthrie.
"Our chances for success at the
next election were never better and /
think Mr. Flynns time has about
ended" remarked Colonel Hoffman.
He was very enthusiastic over the
future prospects Of the party and,
while he is not an avowed candidate
for congress. scores of friends con.
stantIy insist that he makes the
race. He states that he is for the
party first. last and all The time and
who ever the nominee may be his

will be put forth in behalf of that

him. He was formerly assistant Uni

the best authority The Enid office
viii be consolidated with the King
fisher Office and the Perry Office with
the Guthrie office. There have been
rumors that two or more Offices, at
Oklahoma City, Perry, Kingfisher,
Enid and Alva would be abolished.
Meetings were held by citizens Of the
different towns to protest against the
changes and several towns sent rep
resentatives to Washington to inhu-
ence department officials.
It is claimed that the Kingfsher
office was held intact largely through
the influence of William Grimes.
Emory D. Browrlee, register, and j.
Y. Admire, reviewer, will be reap
pointed at Kingfsher. The business
in the district controlled by the Of
fees at Perry and Guthrie had dimin-
ished until only one Office was neces'
sary. The Guthrie office was estab-
lished by act of congress, and as it
is customary to maintain a land office
at the capital, Perry was handicapped
in any effort to maintain it's land
office
Incidentally the abolition of the
Perry office retires two officials who
have not been in sympathy with Dele

TO WE'D THE ueLIEsT MEN.

Extremes meet in the tickle feminine
fancy. The attractiveness of the Adonis
for women is not to be compared with
that Of the man who is so fearfully and
wonderfully ugly as to serve as a living
confirmation of the truth of the Darwin
ian theory regarding the descent of man.
A bevy of lovely American girls have
formed a society, the object of which is
to search the land for the ugliest men
to be found outside a museum, and, when
found, to marry them as soon as possi-
BILE. SEQ 80 nNUia
Ever since the time when Mirabeau,
the ugliest of all Frenchmen, had his
host of female admirers really hideous
men have been worshipped by women.
This extraordinary fondness of women
for extremely ugly men is seen when an
especially villainous looking criminal, ac-
cused of a particularly atrocious crime,
is exhibited in the dock and Immediately
becomes the idol of all the women who
attend the trial. The more hideous his
appearance and the fouler his misdeeds
the more enthusiastic is the worship Of
the women.
HE is so delightfully."- ugly" said a
pretty girl, when asked what particular
fascination "a brutal criminal possessed
for her.
1t is a fact that in all ages and coun-
tries this strange feminine tendency has
been strikingly demonstrated.
N explanation that seems plausible
has ever been given.

! ONLY oAIIY newspaper IN ALABAMA
Production of Coke.

At the end of the year 1901 there
were "a, 001 coke ovens in the country,
and they produced in that year 21,795,-
S3S tons, as compared with 20,5SS,S48
tons in the previous year. No such
output had before been reached in the
history of the industry.
Pennsylvania is by far the largest
producer. possessing 34,9O6 ovens that
turned out last year 14,955,917 tons.
West Virginia and Alabama come next
and they are neck-and-neck in produc-
ton. West Virginia produced last
year 2,283,700 tons, and Alabama q
1891 tons. In this state were 1876
ovens at the end of 1901. West Vir-
ginia made less coke in 1901 than she
did in 1900. and If she shows a decrease
this year Alabama will pass her, be-
coming in that case the second coke
producing state. The other states are
small producers, none of them having
an output of a million tons.
The beehive ovens of the country
now average 355 tons year, while
each by-product oven turns out 1913
tons, or nearly the equivalent of three
beehives. The average value per ton
is put at $2.04, but in Alabama last
year coke was scarce, and it was
worth s2.82. Pennsylvania and West
Virginia both make cheaper coke than
Alabama. Why this should be so does
not appear, but last year coke was
worth about forty cents less in Penn
sylvania and West Virginia than In
Alabama. The retort ovens did not
lessen the cost of coke in any state
The Virginias make the cheapest coke
Pennsylvania coming next. Alabama
coke was rs cents above the average
of the country.
Alabama needs more coke ovens il
the price of coke is to be brought down
