EASTER MILLINERY,
rIaIveIous Display Of Millinery and
silks lat Badgett- Sanders Open
Ing Tuesday Night

Everybody loves Easter and
puts mis- best foot forward on that
day. Good luck, you know, will
abide with you all the year
thu ough il you get into some new
toggery on Easter morning.
The Badgett-Sanders Mercantile
company have built up trade in
millinery that has not only taken
years Of time and large invest
men,s OF cash, but their customers
about this time of year look to
them for an opening that in ele-
gance, In design and lateness of
style, will satisfy the most faslidi-
Gus trade, and please the intelli-
gent purchasers they have been
catering to all these years.
while the band discoursed sweet
music outside a throng Of ladies,
and gentlemen, and children surg
ed inside admiring the beauties in
silks, laoes, Easter hats and hnery
Of every description. More
than for mere display, the thought
was irresistible that "here is the
place TO 6nd the latest styles, and
Of he best possible make" The
me iropolitan millinery ceniers
have been ransacked in order that
the ladies Of Vinita might have
placed in their reach the very
latest and best. There are no
more critical. fashionable, and
tasty buyers and wearers OF styl-
ish millinery anywhere than there
are right here in Vinita, and TO
meet this very demand, expense
has not been spared.
The old plan Of openings where
dozzling drapery and richly deo.
Grated interior prevailed, has lsrg.
ly given way to the more subtan.
tial methods now employed where
good taste sees at a glance that
what Is wanted can be had.
The display Of silks was one Of
the features Of the Badgelt-San,
ders opening. Perhaps never be-
fore was so abundant, so new and
SO altogether bewildering collec'
,ion Of silks seen in Vinila. The
east window Of the dry goods de-
partment carried off the palm fol
beauty. II was skilllully hum

GETTING WISE.
Delegate Flynn Writes a
Very Pretty Statehood
Letter for PubllCa-
ton.
OUR HEAVENLY TWIN
Is Depicted as Ripe Tor Statehood
and Dennis as ils Great Cham
pion, but Majority Of Ok.
lahomans Have Their
Suspicious.

In a letter to IAN eastern paper
With a western circulation, Dennis
Flynn has assigned the reasons
why Oklahoma should oe granted
statehood.
He figures in the effusioB as be-
ing an ardent champion Of the
cause, though over in Oklahoma
there is a we'll defined suspicion
that Dennis talks one way and
works another.
The following is part Of his eI.
fort;
"The most remarkable oondi
ton presented in the rapid devel.
opment end settlement Of Oklaho.
ma is The fact that its population
is unlike that OF anyolher terrific
ry. A foreigner in Oklahoma is
almost unknown. The territory
embracing this last large area Of
tillable land where irrigation is
not necessary has been settled and
occupied by native born Amerl.
cans from all parts Of our country.
There is a blending in this terri
tory Of the north and the south,
Northern push and energy COM
mingles with southern hospitality
and courteousness, and, on the
same farm, the northern wheat
kisses the. white down OF the cot
ton Of the south. The past does
not record, nor can the future
hope for another example Of such
wonderful advancement and
growth as has been Witnessed in
Oklahoma within a little more
than a decade.
"In claiming statehood the peo-
pie of Oklahoma do go because
they believe that they can show
to congress not only all the neces.
sary qualifications, but also better
qualifications and more reasons
than were ever advanced by any
territory that has applied for ad-
mission into the sisterhood Of
states. They believe that there
are IN ore people within the bnund
airy of the territory than were ever
claimed by amy territory which
has heretofore been admitted into
the Union as state. They now
have more population than Vor-
mont, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Delaware, Florida, Mon
tana, Wyoming, Washington,
North Dakota, Oregon, South Da-
kota or several other states that
might be mentioned. Were the
representation on the floor Of the
lower house oi congress based
upon the actual population, aud
not upon the population two years
ago, Oklahoma, if admitted, would
be the first state to enter the
Union with three representatives
and two senator's"
The letter has been labeled
"Blind," and laid away with
many other published utteranceI
Of Dennis, who is known to be the
most consistent enemy of state
hood or any other change from the
conditions which he has ridden
into Office on.

GEN. RAND0LPR'S REPORT.
War Department Is Stingy With Its
Ammunition.


Washington. Nov. SIN his first an
nuai report General Wallace F. Ran
dol h. chief of artillery. says that the
new scheme for the organization of
the seacoasts in artillery districts as
a rule has worked well, and it is
thought that much more progress in
artillery efficiency has been made IN
der this system than would have been
possible under the old regimental plan.
The development Of the present sy-s-
tenn Of fire control has not been sat
isfactory, owing to unforeseen con-
ditions, but il is hoped that before the
close OF this year a new system Of
position finding win be put into T. ac-
fice General Randolph complains of
the insufficient allowance of ammu-
milton for target practice.
Attention is invited to the necessity
OF increasing the pay and number OF
electrician sergeants, in view Of the
fuDOssibility of caring for the nUmer-
f5,,< electrical devices at army posts
without skilled men. At least "a such
serce4nts are recommended, with the
paw and allowances of first class ser
Eeants Of the signal corps.
As another outcome of the maneu-
vers. General Randolph demands FIVE
s,lnnerv specialists for each company
of coast artillery, who shall be al
lowed IS extra pay per month. Other
wise trained men in the service car
nor he retained. General Randolph, in
conclusion. declares that the combined
army and navy maneuvers will be re-
oiete with interest and strongly rec
ornmends that similar combined man
eiIvers take place annually.

EMPLOYEES WILL GET
INCREASE OF WAGES

Oakland, Cal, Nov. S.-The Southern
Pacific officials have taken both horns
OF the dilemma relative TO increased
wages and are in daily conference with
each order regarding proposed in
creaseS.
From all indications the men will
be granted the majority Of their de-
mands. After the local officials have
concluded their deliberations the re-
suits will be forwarded to President
Z darriman and passed upon by the
specially appointed committee and
-s4stly by the president. The fact that
the machinists' sunion and other rail-
way men IN different parts of the
country have been granted increases is
taken as a sure indication that the
present demands will be favorably acted
upon
