MILLINERY OPENING

Display Ready for Inspection
October 4 and A,

The announcement contained
IN the foregoing head lines is one
that the ladies have been await
ing for some time, and it is there
fore, made with pleasure. The
handsome patronage bestowed on
this establishment has inspired
and encouraged the management
to renewed exertions to please, and
we feel that we have selected
stock of seasonable millinery that
the ladies will be delighted in and
that will reflect further credit on

is out of our line. But we do
want all the ladies to call and let
us show them that our pride in
this stock is well founded. We
feel very grateful for the many
kind favors of the ladies in the
past, and shall continue to strive
to merit them by giving the very
best values consistent with reason
able prices. Please remember the

sistance. Mr.. Woodson at once
recognized the poor wayfarer as
the once wealthy stockman who
left his wife and prattling son at
Claremore in the hope of his
early return with increased wealth
as the fruits of his Texas trip for
cattle. This meeting of old
friends was pathetic, Nipper
recognized Woodson, but claimed
his own name to be Williams.
Woodson told Nipper of his ca
reer in Claremore and it's sad end
ing with his Texas trip. Nipper's
mind then cleared up and he told
Woodson something of his mis-.
fortunes. Nipper says he landed
in Houston, Tex, safe, and in
the course of his transactions
there started from his hotel to the
depot and en- route was stricken
with paralysis, He lay for nine
years in the hospital, being I'M
able to make known his name OF
place of residence. His memory
gradually passed away, and upor
his release from the hospital he
wandered aimlessly about, not
even knowing his right name OF
whence he came. He wandered
on and on in his wretched condi
tion until the light of other days
was turned into his clouded brair
by his chance meeting with Mr.
Woodson, his old friend.

an investigation was at once or

Truth Stranger Than Fiction.

About ten years ago George
Nipper, then a wealthy cattle
buyer in the Indian Territory,
with his main ranch near Clare
more, which place he made his
home, left for Texas with $4,000
for the purpose of buying cattle
in Southern Texas and shipping
10 the Indian Territory. He
landed in Houston, Tex, and
from that place it could not be
learned where he went, and after
that nothing more was heard of
him and the people of the Indian
Territory accepted the theory
that he had been murdered and
robbed, and his disappearance
was generally spoken of as an
other tragedy in which a cowman
trusted his back turned to the
desperate cowpunchers of Texas.
Mrs. Nipper waited three years
for his return, and finally accept
ed the theory that her husband
had been killed, and married D.
/. Denny, another prominent
cattleman. She did not live with
Denny very long until she separa'
ted from him, and has since that
time resided with her son, Hen
