Kicking Vigorously.

And now the Democrats are
bothering about the political con-
ditions in the Hawaiin Islands.
1t is an impossibility to please a
democrat at any stage of the
game.-Tribune.
You can easily please an Okla
homa Republican, by just simply
giving him a good fat office.
They just want the "loaves and
fishes They are not so awfully
particular about principal, justice
and right. See how Ferguson,
Grimes, Speed, and the rest of
the gang that is running the Re-
publican party in Oklahoma,
kick when we are about to get
Statehood and these gentlemen
see that their days of office hold
ing Will soon be over.

transformation which will require
several days of next week to

Many Thanks.

The Democrat force wish to ex =
press their thanks to Messrs.
Herndon !& Britton, the propri-
etors of the popular K. c. Meat
Market, for a BIG box of fine
candies, which was placed on our
desk today. We are glad that
some one has rightly interpreted
the yearning look on our faces
ever since the Christmas candies
were first displayed in the stores.
We would like to state right here,
that if any firm in the city is un-
decided in regard to the proper
way to treat newspaper people,
they will be perfectly safe in fol-
lowing the example set by Messrs.
Herndon g. Britton.

Hinton was the recipient of her
share of the norther that passed

that this kind of weather is rather
hard on wiggle- tails.
F. M. Shields relinquished his
claim adjoining the city on the
east, the first of this week, to Mr..
Jaques, of Okarche, Ok, for So,
600. The place is one of the best

provements. Mr.. Shields bought
the place a few months ago, pay
ing 2,2O0, which proved a good
investment for him.
Rev. Morrison was called to
Canyon City, Thursday morning,

Blackburn, of that place, who
died Wednesday about noon. He
was formerly the mail carrier be-
tween Canyon City and Bridge

COLONY ORGANIZED.
Greer County People Have Bought a
Large Tract of Land in Mexico.
From Mondays Daily

Several hundred business men
of Greer Co. have organized a
company, and bought one hund-
red and sixty seven thousand
acres of land in Mexico, and will
soon depart for the country of
the Montezumas. The promot-
ers of the scheme have been
busily engaged for several
months in describing a temper
ate climate, balmy zephry's, lux
uriant vegetation ETC., to the
residents of Oklahoma, the "fair-
est land that ee'r the sun shone
on" The spirit of unrest will al
ways have possession of those
who are not content with Okla
homa. Taking everything into
consideration, a more desirable
place for home can hardly be
found than in this part of Okla
homa. The growing season is a
long one, as the second crop of
vegetables, and of great many
of the forage plants, can easily
be raised, and it has been proven
to be fruit country which, in
the course of few years, will
outrival the older states. We
would like to say to each one of
these colonists, be content with
Oklahoma, for you cannot find a
country on the face of the globe,
where every individual resident
is perfectly satisfied.

THE REPUBLICANS
Of Oklahoma Want to Hold a Conven,
tion. Opposed to Majority Report
of the Senatorial Committee.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
A few days ago every little
two-by-four Republican paper
in Oklahoma raised the cry that
the single statehood people were
defeating Oklahoma's chances
for statehood by holding a con-
vention at Claremore and ex-
pressing their ideas, and pub
fishing them to the world. This
was high treason according to
those Republican papers. They
do not believe what the Consti-
tuition of the United States says.
That the people have a right to
assemble and petition Congress. s"
Oh! no that is all wrong, but now
what are these little fellows going
to do? Ferguson, Grimes, Speed
Mcclure. Cash Cade and all the
Big Fish" in the Republican
party say they are in favor of
convention at once, to denounce
the action of the Territorial Com
mittee, in recommending single
statehood for Oklahoma, and the
Indian Territory. These gentle
men have perfect right to meet
and perfect right to pass reso-
lutions and perfect right to Pc
tition Congress, and while this is
all true we are lead to believe
that a great majority of the
people of Oklahoma and the In
dian Territory have some rights
to. There is no question but
what a majority of the people of
the Indian Territory are in favor
of single statehood, one half the
people of Oklahoma are in favor
of it, and we are glad to know
that the Senate committee re-
spects the wishes of the majority |
of our people, while it is true
that our Dennis is opposed to the
idea of single statehood, and that
the committee turned him down
good and hard. 1t will be a good |
lesson for him, and probably in
the future he will not try to de-
ceive the people. We do not
hesitate to say that it is our can
did opinion that Dennis and
three fourths of the Republicans
of Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory are in favor of single
statehood, if it would only be
Republican state. Our readers
will remember that several times
during the campaign the Demo-
crat took the position that the
Republican party in the United
States were pledged to give us
ststehood and would respect the
wishes of the people of Okla
homa and the Indian Territory.
We are glad that they have cham
pioned the cause of the majority |
of our citizens.

The Lawyers.
From Saturdays Daily.
The lawyers are beings
That bat few people need;
On accout Of their lying
And their unknown greed.
When they are not in a case
And are loafing in the house,
They will tear up papers
AS fine as a mouse.
To sit and to watch them
Good people they will bore,
To see them tear the paper
And scatter it on the floor.
They will tear the paper fine
And pile it up deep,
But they surely would not do it
If they ever had to sweep.
They'll quarrel and they'll fuss
They'll chew and smoke;
If you'll buy the cigars
For they are always broke.
Look at their red faces
Take a peep at their throttle,
And you will know why,
They have an empty bottle.
They will smile at their client
And look as sweet as honey,
But when the case is over
They'll they take all his money.
They are always looking
For nice easy job,
They steal from each other
And their clients they will rob.
You had better plead guilty
And go with out bail,
lhen To give them all your money
And then lay in the Jail.
They ask a thousands questions
In making a defense,
But they seem very foolish
And show but little sense.
| am sorry for the judge,
He is patient and not lazy,
And has a strong mind
Or he would go crazy.
The clerks are kind hearted
And they never try to shirk,
At midnight you'll find them
Hard at their work.
The grand jury l will mention
They are the worst of them all,
To spit on the stairway
And litter up the hall.
The janitor is dandy,
He never acts mean,
He makes good hot fires
And keeps the court house
clean.
You never find him noseing
And he never tries to meddle
And when court is over
He ought to get medal.
Written by janitor.

1t seems to us that Arizona and
New Mexico got the marble
hand" when the Nelson bill was
introduced, but that is not sur
prising, as they are known to be
overwhelmingly democratic, while
there is delightful uncertainty
in regard to what Oklahoma and
Indian Territory combined might
be.

Rev. j, w. Meats, Pastor
Frank Carpenter one of the

called on the Democrat. He is
attending court and does not

contract to build five fine brick
buildings in Apache, and that he
had just closed a deal with Joe

used in the construction of these
buildings. He purchasec the
fronts from a ChIckasha firm.
Mr.. Coldiron and Mr.. Parker of
that city also have the contract
for building a fine stone or brick
school house in Apache. We are
proud of the fact that Apache
is enjoying this building boom
and is erecting such fine sub
stantial buildings. Apache is
situated in the heart of as fine a
district of farming country as any
town in Oklahoma and can afford
to erect fine buildings. No one
need not hesitate to improve town
lots in Apache. 1t will prove a
good investment.

OBITUARY..
John Fitzgerald.

Mr.. John Fitzgerald died early yes
terday morning of heart failure. His
death occurred at his home, No. 424
President street. east. Mrs. Fitzger-
aid went to his room to call him at
about $50 o'clock, as he was accus-
toned to rise at that hour to attend
early mass. She found him uncon-
scious and gasping for breath. Hur-
riedly she summoned a physician, but
by the time medical aid reached the
patient he was dead. The night be-
fore Mr. Fitzgerald had retired In the
best of health, and during the day he
had been engaged in his usual duties,
and was among his friends and &C
quaintances. The news of his death,
therefore, created surprise.
The flag on the City Exchange was
placed at half-mast when 1t was
learned that Mr.. Fitzgerald was dead.
This was due to his connection with
the city administration. He was in
spector of house drainage under the
| director of public works. and his pub
lie service had been long. In 1896 he
retired temporarily from the city's en-
ploy, but by that time he had been
continuously in its service for twenty
six years. For some time he was SUI
perintendent of streets and lanes. In
1899 he was reappointed to position
under the department of public works,
and ever since, as In his former con-
nection with the administration. he
had rendered efficient and valuable
service.
MIR. Fitzgerald was born in the par
ish of Sreem, County Kerry, ireland.
He came to this country before the
war. After residing at Newport, Il. l.,
he came TO Savannah, where he had
since lived. He was very we'll known
in this city, and served for time as
justice of the peace of the Fourth
District He leaves a wife and sis
ter Mrs. Bridges Scully of Newport,
r.. I.
The fhneral will take place this af-
ternoon at o'clock from the Cathedral
of st. John the Baptist. The following
gentlemen will act as pallbearers:
Messrs. John Brennan, James Leonard,
Patrick Buttimer, Patrick Rossiter,
