Robby Conlev, whose success
as a nimrod has made him fa-
nous, captured a coon, recently,
and prevailed upon his mother TO
cook it for him, with the custo-
mary trimmings of sweetpotatoes,
etc. After considerable coaxing,
Mrs. Conley consented, upon
condition that not a word should
be said about the Conley family
having coon for dinner, and also
that they should not urge her to
partake of it. The coon was
cooked all nice and brown, and
Bro. Joe Conley, was suddenly
seized with a fear that it might
not be good for the children, and
concluded that he had better
sample it before he let the little
ones taste it. When he had
tasted" until it was about three
fourths gone, he concluded to let
the little ones risk it. OF course
the family kept their promise to
Mrs. Conley, and not a word was
said about the matter, and the
Democrat will do its best to help
keep the secret.

School Notes.

Mrs. Lowther has the seventh
grade co day, Miss Gilday being
sick.
School in all departments is
running very smoothly. The
number of tardy cases is too large.
Cannot parents help to reduce
this nuisance of school work?
But even the bell was tardy
Tuesday.
There should be more night
studying done.
This sentence occurs in a new
mental arithmetic: "If the pupil
is unable to solve problem in
any case, let him go back and
review preceding principles" if
principles were well learned at
first, there would not be so much
need of review. Do things well.
One of our greatest needs is a
library.
| find my classes in Literature
and rhetoric are well up on gen.
eral reading, much in advance
of the ordinary classes in these
grades. More general reading
should be encouraged in the low
er grades.

Ordered to Leave.
!! TuesdaY's Daily.

Over in Beaver township,
southeast of Walter some eigh-
teen or twenty miles, a negro man
drew a claim. \ short time ago
he made application to the school
directors TO admit his children i'm
the white school, which was de-
MED him. The negro, who we
believe is Anderson, then declar-
ed that he would settle enough
negroes i'm the neighborhood, or
rather on his own 100 acres of
land, that the people would be
compelled to furnish them a sep
crate school building. In accord
ance with this threatened plan he
got a negro family to move in,
and thus commenced his cam
paign. The white men organized
to the number, we are informed,
of POO to prevent this undesirable
class of immigrants. A few days
agoa number of them, the negro
says there was about a hundred,
went to his house and told him
that the imported negro family
must leave i'm twenty -four hours,
and that he must do likewise,
but he would be given sufficient
time to dispose of his claim. The
men were not masked or disguised
in any way, we are informed, and
the negro knew quite we'll who it
was that talked to him. The me-
gro himself says that the visitors
did not abuse him in any way,
either in word or act. He went
to advise with one of his neigh
bors, who, by the way, is captain
of this organized company of 200.
This neighbor asked him if his
visitors abused him, and he said
they did not talk nice to him.
And when the negro asked the
white man what he should do, the
later told him he had better COM
ply with their orders. The i'm
ported negro family got away al
most within the required time,
and we learn that the other will

A 100 Year Old Voter.

The town of Hopkins, Mo-,
boasts of the oldest vote r in the
person of "Grandpa" Russell who
is 100 years of age. Mr.. Russell
drove several miles from his farm
and cast democratic ballot.
There are number of younger
men who might profit by Mr..
Russell's example. Those who
did not seize the high privilege of
casting a democratic ballot do
not know the qualification they
missed and those who remained
at home on election day and
would not take the trouble to
travel few miles for the pur-
pose of discharging their duty as
citizens may not understand
what it was that prompted this
100 year-old man to travel sew
eral miles in order to cast his
vote. But Mr.. Russell has the
satisfaction of knowing that he
discharged his duty as citizen
by voting; and he has the furth-
er satisfaction of knowing that
he discharged this duty well by
voting the democratic ticket.

STATEHOOD FIGHT.
still Very Exciting. VIII Hold Teddy
to His Promise.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Washington, Dec. 6.-Senator
Beveredge wants the President
to agree to veto the omnibus
statehood bill if its friends sue
ceed in running over him in the
Senate. The Indiana senator
spent an hour with the President
and pointed out the shocking
conditions prevailing i'm New
Mexico" The truly good sena-
tor from the Hoosior state claims
to have discovered all manner of
reprehensible things at Albu-
querque and other New Mexico
towns. Gambling is open and
notorious There are dance halls
and music in saloons and other
frontier diversions. and a popula-
ton whidh takes none of them
seriously. Every frontier town
has these, but Beveredge was
shocked. He was so earnest that
the President admitted he had
been impressed. When Delegate
Rodey heard about the Beveredge
call at the White house he hunt
ed up Delegate Smith of Arizona
and asked an audience with the
President. Today the New Mex
leo delegate declares that the
President will do nothing until
the territories have a hearing.
"He'll sign the bill, too," con-
tinued the New Mexico man "It
is pretty hard to see how the
President will get away from
signing it, no matter what Bev-
eredge may say. When Roose-
welt was governor of New York
he attended a reunion of the
Rough Riders at Las Vegas.
He made them splendid speech
and referred to the fact that his
company came largely from the
territories. He said it was a
shame that men who had fought
so nobly for their country should
not be entitled to all the privi-
leges of citizenship, and he then
and there pledged them if he was
ever in a position to help them
out he would do so. Mr.. Roose-
welt is now PRESIDENT of the Unit
ed States, and the time has come
for him to make good. | don't
think we have much to fear from
veto.
1t has become generally known
that the combine of Western Re-
publicans and Democrats has a
majority in the Senate for the
omnibus bill. The Republican
oligarehy which has so long ruled
the Senate finds itself threatened
with the same kind of a revolt
which swept Speaker Henderson
and the House oligarchy off its
feet at the long session. Aldrich,
Spooner, Lodge, Hanna, Hale
and Platt, of Connecuticut have
never failed to accomplish in the
Senate what they have set out in
earnest to do, but the Senate oil
garchy has never fought Quay
and Bailey before.

SUB ROSA.
Why Should the Estimated Cost of the
Water-works System DC Kept
Secret?
From Mondays Daily

FROM MOlluay Ddlly
A short time ago the Democrat
said something about the water
works proposition. We had been
informed that there was a mig
ger in the wood pile" and 50 we
called the attention of our readers
to the proposition as best we
could with the light we had on
on the subject. The editor of
the Times says we are ignorant.
We plead guilty. We went to the
City clerk to know the facts in
the case. the terms of the propo-
sition etc. That gentleman said
he was the only man in the city
who knew the terms of the plans
as submitted to the Secretary of
the Interior and that he positively
would not tell anyone anything
about the estimated cost. The
acting Mayor was present and
said he knew nothing about the
cost and did not want to. They
gave as their reason for this that
they did not want to let people
who might want to bid on the con-
tract know the estimated cost.
Now this may be all right. We
are from Missouri. We think the
people are entitled to the facts.
We cant see why the peoples
money should be spent and them
know nothing about it. But ac-
cording to the Bureau of Infor-
nation that edits the Times we
must keep silent and not say one
word. Prof. Reece, a life long
Republican, has seen fit to write
the Secretary of the Interior for
information Eve presume for the
reason that he could not get it
here) although the editor of the
Times lives here and is a walk
ing encyclopedia of information.
Now according to the Times the
Prof. has committed the un-
pardonable sin. He will delay
matters, he has ruined everything,
according to the aforesaid editors
views. Now if, as the editor of
the Times says, these things were
published, why is it that only one
person in the city knows anything
about it and that person won't
tell? We feel confident that Prof.
Reece will go at once to the editor
of the Times and beg his
pardon for asking this awful
question, and promise to drink
river water or anything else that
the Times editor wants him to. If
the editor of the Times knows the
facts in the case why don't he
publish them? Our citizens will
never agree to use river water,
when it is a well known fact that
there is an abundance of pure,
fresh water which is easily OBJ
tanned. We admit our ignorance,
but contend that it is not so easy
for the citizens of Anadarko to
obtain the facts in regard to this
matter, from "the powers that
be-" 1t was necessary, in one
case, to go the second time, and
insist, before the meagre infor-
nation, that we would not have a
standpipe, was given. Again we
ask, Why this secresy?

AUTHORITY OF MAGISTRATES.
Court Rules They Have Jurisdiction
of Lunatic's Person and Propertv.

Justice Barnard of the Supreme Court Of
the District of Columbia has made a rul-
ing to the effect that justice of the peace
has authority to issue summons against
and has jurisdiction over the person and
property of a lunatic. The ruling was
made in connection with a landlord and
tenant proceeding involving the possession
of premises 500 9th street. The alleged
lunatic Is Adrian NJ. Kloczewski, who for
many years conducted a drug store at the
address mentioned. The proceeding was
originally instituted before a justice of the
peace, but prior to hearing there the case
was taken to the District Supreme Court
by Mrs. Marie Kloczewiski, committee and
trustee of her husband, on the ground that
the justice Of the peace was without juris-
diction, as explained. Those who originally
filed the suit moved to quash the writ of
certiorari and Justice Barnard today grant
ed the motion. Attorney Julius T. Peyser
representing the Kloczewiskis, gave notice
