Casey's Reception.

The play given under the aus
pices of the Anadarko Band
last Saturday night, was we'll
attended, and the audience was
kept in continual good humor by
the portrayal of the many a.
musing incidents which befell
Casey, on his first visit to the
city. His encounters with the
"bunco men,, and "wahoo',
money, were ludicrious in the ex-
treme. Our people were par
ticularly pleased with our young
folks who took part in the play.
1t is acknowledge that Anadarko
possesses considerable talent in
this line. The Anadarko Band
appreciates the interest our peo-
pie take in their welfare, and
cordially invite every one to at
tend their concert next Wednes-
day night.

Box Supper

The box supper which was
held last night at the school
house in district 81 is reported to
have been a most enjoyable af-
fair. Miss Ethel Vandeventer,
the teacher, assisted by her pu-
pills, had prepared a splendid
program which was rendered in
an excellent manner, after which
the boxes were sold, the proceeds
to pc used for the purchase of
school supplies, such as a water
bucket, dictionary, etc. Those
in attendance from town were
Joe Conley and family, Misses
Nora and Myrtle Vendeventer,
and Will Vandeventer. All re-
port a very pleasant time.

Fire Alarm.

This morning, about $3.50 the
whistle at the ice plant sounded
the fire alarm, and the streets
were soon filled with men, WON

the fire wagon, which was being
rapidly taken east on Broadway
by the firemen who VI always so
prompt to respond to the fire a

that in some way a mistake had
been made, as the fire was on
West Oklahoma Avenue, at the
building east of the Star Bakery,
occupied by Mr. Smith. No
damage was done, as the fire
was simply a flue burning out.
and was soon controlled.

A Wasted Life,

Mrs. Dollie Woods, an inmate
of ''Miss Sadie's' place north of
the track, died yesterday of pneu-
monia. The young woman was
probably "a years of age, her
husband and other relatives live
in Denver Colo. This was a short
life, and had it not been for the
frailty which first diverted it from
the right way, hers might have
been a life of great usefulness,
and a blessing TO those with whom
she came in contact. 1t is a sad
thought that one who might, had
conditions been different, have
been a power for good in the
world, should die an outcast, un-
loved, and unmourned, with no
fathers or mothers gentle minis
trations to cheer her last hours.
The gay life and gaudy finery
of a public woman may some
times seem enticing to those who,
safe in the shelter of a quiet
home, long for the gaities of such
a life, but if the end could be
foreseen, these temptation would
have no weight. Such occasions
always remind US of those lines
in Hoods Bridge of Sighs:"
"Cross her hands humbly,
AS if praying dumbly,
Over her breast.
Owning her weakness,
Her evil behavior
And leaving, with meekness,
Her sins to her Savior"

Methvin

The Southern Methodist church
at the junction of 4th and Ameri-
can Avenue, is one of the prin-
cipal attractions of Anadarko.
It's location reflects great credit
on the committee who selected
the site, the house itself is an Or
nament and a credit to the city.
From foundation stone to the top
of the lofty spire it testifies to the
ability and skill of architect,
carpenters, and painters. The
present seating capacity will
very soon have to be increased,
and the house itself will have to
be enlarged in less than twelve
months, for the growth of the
congregation has surpassed all
expectations. The pastor, Rev.
j. c. s. Baird carries with him
the air of a man who knows what
he is about. He says he is very
much pleased with his work here
and with nothing, more than the
name of the beautiful new house
of worship. "Methvin Mem
orial' is a fitting tribute to the
man who sixteen years ago, laid
the foundation of Southern
Methodism in Anadarko. The
Membership of the church is
growing constantly, eleven adj
ditions yesterday.

Rev. HoIt's Work In the City.
Rev. L. H. Holt closed his work
as pastor in this city yesterday.
He had three very interesting
services. The outline of the
morning sermon is given in this
paper. At the close of the dis
course, he gave some statistics of
interest and spoke of the early
days. He preached the first
sermon in the new city at the
auction stand. He dedicated the
first meeting house in the city
and the first Baptist edifice in the
territory and leaves n Q debt to
trouble the church. OF the orig
inal organization but two now

81 are now in the city. At 2:30
yesterday a large crowd assem-
bled at the west ford of the
Washita and witnessed the bap-
tism of five recent converts, a
feature of the day was the ex-
cellent music. Mr.. Geo. Holt,
son of the pastor and a fine solo
singer, was present and partici-
pated in all the services. Rev.
Holt goes to his claim tomorrow
and will Immediately enter his
new work as Educational Mis-
sionary of the Central District
Baptist association which in
cludes Caddo Co. Rev. Holt
was formerly a newspaper man,
therefore took a great interest in
newspaper affairs while in this
city, and was always a welcome
caller at the DEMOCRAT office.
The DEMOCRAT wishes him a
continuation of his remarkable
success in church work, and joins
his many friends in the city, in
wishing him a pleasant field in
which to labor.

Spooner's Indian Invests Wisely.
Senator Spooner isn't such a
believer in the American Indian as
he once was. For six years one
of these red men kept at the Sen
ator for favorable action on a bill
for relief. Finally the bill went
through and $500 was turned
over to the Indian. The next
Spooner heard of him was that
he had gone TO the nearest city
in Wisconsin bought a hearse
and two black-plumed horses,
had placed his squaw in the
hearse and was driving it all over

miration of the rest of the In
dians.-Baltimore Herald.

w. c. T. U. correspondence.

Temperance in its true sense
means self control. To give it a
broader significance it stands for
conser atism. 1t finds its per-
lection when it has joined health
y morals and sound sense in an
inseparable compact. If we would
prevent our enemies from exulting
over our defeat, we must in the
first place guard ourselves
against our own mistakes.
Abuse is not argument, nor is
rashness bravery. 1t is better
always to exhibit prudence than
temper. In trying to help the
multitude, it's but the part of
wisdom to provoke as few an
tagonisms as possible. We are
supposed to be everybody's friend
and nobody's enemy. We want
a good city government and
therefore, we don't want a one
sided government. The first
qualification of a ruler, or of any
peace officer, is fairness. The
just judge is absolutely impair
tial. The moral difference be-
tween selling whiskey and selling
dry goods is very great and that
difference holds good every day
in the week, but as a violation of
the Sunday law, there is no diff
ference between them, and the
man who demands the closing of
saloons on Sunday, should sup
ply himself on Saturday with all
the dry goods and groceries he
will need until Monday. My
word for it, the saloon man will
all the more readily observe the
Sunday law when he sees that it
is enforced against all lines of
trade, without Partially.
Let US not fly off at a tangent,
but adhere to the main question.
We want a clean, capable, honest
city government, and il we lose
sight of everything else in the
fight for mayor and chief of po-
lice, there is danger Of these two
officers finding themselves handi-
capped by a set of unworthy, in
capable councilmen that will make
reform impossible. Let us urge
every voter to be be true TO his
own convictions and vote, not to
reward friends, or punish enc
mics, but with the one object of
placing our city under the con-
troll of men who observe and will
enforce the law, and who will
bend their united energies 10 the
rapid development of Anadarko,
materially, intellectually and
morally.

school houses, electric lights.
and water works, all completed
within this summer. These i'm
provements and a great many
others can all be accomplished il
we have united action. We must
lay aside petty jealousies, and
personal preferences, and all
work together for the upbuilding
of Anadarko. The business in
terest- of our city has suffered
in the past, and is suffering al
present, because of certain in
dividuals who have tried to create
the impression that there was a
graft in every thing of a public
nature that was attempted.
These parties never do any good.
They have only one object in
view and that is to kick at every
thing that public spirited men
attempt TO do. But there is one
consolation they are short lived,
people will soon learn them.
Then they will have to move to a
new field. The Commercial club
as now organized, with Prof.
Thompson as Chairman, is alive
to the welfare of our city. He
devotes every hour that he pos
sibly can to advancing our COM
mercial interests. With the pres
ent flattering business outlook
before us we must have pro-
gressive business men to fill oar
city offices during the next year.
This is very essential IT, every
property owner here. We want
men in office who will make all
prospective investors know that
there is no place on earth that
has a brighter future before it
than Anadarko. The Democrat
ic nominee for mayor is a prom
inent business man, progressive,
honest and competent, an ideal
man for mayor during the next
two years. But in order to make
his administration a success he
should have a council composed
of the same kind of men. We
ask the voters TO not over look
this important matter. If you
elect Wells, Lundgreen, Ford,
Orme, Baum, Gallagher, Whit
lock and Mathew, we will have
a Council that will look well to
the interest of the city. Place
these men in Office, and in one
year from today, you will be
proud of GREATER Anadarko.

Anadarko is steadily demon
strating the fact that the faith
which our business men have
displayed in her future has not
been misplaced. An era of pros
perity has already begun and
the indications are that it will
continue indefinitely, and result
in greater benefit to our citizens
than a boom. The elevator,
which is being built by Earring
ton G. Co., is almost completed,
the machinery has arrived, and
everything will soon be in read
mess to handle all kinds of grain.
This elevator has a capacity of
10000 bu, and will be a decided
addition to Anadarko's business
interests.

MACHINE THAT RECORDS THE DOT AND DASH LANGUAGE

as much of a wonder as is the marvellous
product OF Edison's brain and genius to
