legislative Contest.

quest of many citizens, Democrats as
we'll as Republicans, the editor of this
journal, who was the nominee of the
Republican party at the last election for
Representative, has decided to contest
the legality of the majority-79 votes
returned for Hon. F. X. Blumle, for
the legislature. The conduct of
the campaign and election is universal
ly condemned even by our opponents.
For years, commencing with the defeat
of Hon. J. G. Johnson, in 1892, an utter
disregard of all law, have been used
to defeat the honest choice of the
people of this county, resorting to any
thing disreputable to defeat our candi-
dates, backed by a powerful influence
of money and other tactics, purely ille-
gal-throwing Boss Tweed, in his palm
lest days, clear into the shade. This
thing has continued and knowing that
in the past it has been allowed to pass
over the clique of wrong-doers became
frantic in the past campaign and resort
ed to desperate means to carry out
their orders. We do not propose to re-
veal what was noted during the contest,
and since, until the proper time, when
all will be made clear and unmistakable
that most gigantic plots cannot always
go unpunished. The life ofthis Nation
depends upon honest elections and
if such are denied the people
of this county, where will we
drift to? AS far as we are per-
sonally concerned we shall push this
matter to the bitter end, beliving that
all honest, unpreiudiced citizens, who
believe in the purity of the ballot and
fair play, will support us in our efforts to
stamp out the curse that has for years
been a stencil in the nostrils of all truly
honest men. The cry of the willing
TOOLS" who fully realize upon what
dangerous ground they stand, will not
deter us.
The following petition was hurriedly
circulated and the law requiring but
twenty names, we did not take the time
to call upon more than required, yet
we could have had, and were offered,
the names of scores of our citizens.
For the benefit of the political editor OF
the Independent will note that the
gentlemen whose names appear are re-
putable citizens, American citizens and
tax payers, who did not have to call in
''the willing tolls" from outside of this
county to be told what do. The peo-
pie twill note this contest with inter
est" we assure you, and will size up to
the occasion. Remember LincOln's
motto about tooling the people. There
will be no more of it in this county, for
we have the guaranteed support of
substantial citizens, men who do
not carry dark lantern and bear, in
indelible ink, the curse of the dollar
mark on their foreheads. They will
stand with u.s.
Relying upon the integrity of our
law-loving, and law-abiding citizens in
our efforts to secure clean, honest cleo
tions for Cameron county, remain,
Very Respectfully,
HENRY II. MULLIN.

A TEN-DOLLAR BOOK FREE.

We have received supply of the
1901 Yearbook of the Department OF
Agriculture one copy of which will be
mailed free to every subscriber in
good standing who asks us for it.
This valuable book contains SAG
pages. There are 143 illustrations.
The report of the secretary is COM
prehensive resume of the work of the
department and shows the scope of
this institution.
A valuable feature of this book is
that the addresses of all experiment
stations are given, so that one can
write any of them for special informa-
ton. bulletins, etc. Also a directory of
officials is given of every live stock
and dairy association in the United
States.
The latest information regarding or
chard and garden pests, insect rava-
ges, fruit growing, road building, etc.,
is given.
Considerable space is given to the
range question, irrigation, drainage,
etc.
The reports of the last census upon
crops and agricultural industries of
the Union is presented in the form
deemed best adapted to the require
ments of the Yearbook and easy use
by it's readers.
If you want a copy, write us, and
we'll mail to you. At the same time,
see how your subscription stands, and
mail us enough to date your label
ahead another year. And you'd bet
ter write at once, as the number is

fuence. too, and will probably be sue
cessful in it's efforts-an achievement
very much to it's credit. If the al
ready heavily burdened taxpayers OF
the city are willing to submit to the
additional tax necessary for founding
and putting the market on a running
basis, there is no doubt but that 1t
would become very popular. Although
the bulk of the products consumed III
Seattle are grown at considerable dis
tances from the city, the establishment
of electric lines will enable growers
for quite an area to come into town
and personally sell their goods at the
market stalls. The market would be q
great advantage, both to grower and
consumer. Here's hoping that the Of
forts of the Star for the benefit of the
people and for it's own self-aggran-
dizement will be crowned with sue
cess.

DR.. ANDREWS DON'TS.

DR.. E. Benjamin Andrews of the
University of Nebraska says:
Don't teach the children to fear
God.
Don't teach them the doctrine Of
eternal damnation.
Don't middle their brains with the
theory of original sin.
Don't scare them with the devil.
Don't worry them about baptism.
Don't terrorize them with the men
tai picture of an avenging Cod"
Grand advice if it is only followed.
There are trouble and sorrow
enough in life, anyway, without fore
ing the little children to grow up in
an atmosphere of terror. Let their
young lives be bright with hope, not
dark with fear.
Teach them the same things that are
good for ourselves. In the words of
DR.. Andrews, Teach them ethics.
Teach them right and wrong" Teach
them to speak the truth, to keep their
word, to be loving and pure and gentle
and just.

of the story of Christ"

FAIR GROUNDS DONE /!
Last Nail Driven in Ampitheatre
Yesterday.
All Ready For Weeks Events
A Splendid Race Track and
Quarter Stretch and a Monu-
ment to Our Public
Spirited Men.

The fair grounds are completed
The last nail was driven in the
construction of the big amphl-
theatre yesterday and the grounds
are now readY for the racing events
and Indian games of carnival
week.
The completion of the fair
grounds marks an epoch in the his
tory OF Chickasha, and reflects
everlasting credit upon the sagaci
y, sonnd business judgment and
public spirit Of the prominent citi-
Gems forming the Pickens County
Fair Association.
When the association was first
organized the members were laugh
ed at and told that the institution
would be failure, although every
one agreed that it would be good
thing for the town. But the men
at the head Of the enterprise were
eoufident that it would succeed
and were willing to back their
judgment with their money. AS a
result the fair grounds now stand
practically completed, as fine a
race track or fair grounds as there
Is Ia the Southwest, and sure TO be
money MI ker when the fair ssso
c'at,cu gels down TO business.
The fair grounds lie TO the north
Of the city, about half mile due
north of Chickasha avenue, the
main business part Of town, on
the extension OF Ninth street.
The grounds embrace so acr, 5. as
pretty aplace of land as ever a
crow dew over. The whole grounds
are enclosed vi b a 10 foot solid
high board fence, which will ke, D
out all intruders. Twenty stalls
and pens for live stock have been
completed to date, end they are as
comfortable and commodious MS
are ever seen in country far
grounds. More will be added as a
demand for their existence is made.
The amphitheatre Is 100 feet
long. i2 tiers Of sets deep, with a
i2 foot promenade at the summit
Of the tiers Ia front, opposite the
judges stand, is a row OF twelve
boxes, each Sx1O feet in size. The
boxes or for the "howling swells''

theatre Is made Of the heaviest
lumber and the supports are I0xIO
inches, braced three ways. The
amphitheatre couldn't fall down or
