Cotton Receipts

Up to noon today the total cot
ton receipts in Chickasha for the
season was $50 bales. OF this
number about 400 bales came in
during the last week. Last year
the receipts for the entire sea-

er a thousand bales. This is a
very gratifying gain.
The cotton compress has re
ceiyed all told about 1000 bales
this season. 1t is now run'iing
four days a week and Mr.. Brown
ing, the manager, informs an Elk
PRESS reporter that they ex-
pect to run each day begin
ming in few days. The cotton

Aged Man Dead

j. f. Linn, who lived twelve
miles northwest Of town, died at
the Robinson House yesterday
afternoon. He came to town
about week ago to be treated.
Death was probably due to old
age. His wife died about six
weeks ago. Funeral services
were conducted at Claycomb &
Anderson S undertaking rooms
and interment occurred at the
city cemetery. Mr.. Linn was a
devoted church member and
was regarded as a splendid old
gentleman by all his neighbers.

School Books Needed.
Supt. Staley Makes An Appeal for
Poor Children.

Here is is chance for some one
to do a truly charitable act. There
are a few children in Chickasha
who are unable to buy the books
that are necessary for the year s
school work. | am certain that
this number is, comparatively
speaking, very small. Our city Isl
in no sense a small town. Our
people are as a rule not only able
but willing to buy all the books
required. The few, who can not
afford to buy the books for their
children, must be aided or the
children remain out of school.
Last year a few Of our benevolent
citizens gave the money that was
needed TO furnish all such with
books. These parties do not want
their names known. / feel that |
can say that the sum furnished has
been used as they desired. Prof.
Cook handed me S5.3 (This
being the amount left over. } Up to
the present time l have found it
necessary TO furnish books for
only few. Other books will be
needed. ! do not think that it will
be necessary for anyone TO give
money. feel quite certain that.
there are enough books cast aside
in the homes of our people to fully
Supply the demand. | would,
therefore, kindly ask that our
people examine the books at home
and send all such books as are
used in the lower grades, mot
longer useful TO their own children)
to the principal of the building
most convenient. All books so
received will be carefully stamped
as the property Of the school and
used tohelp some child who other
wise might not be able to attend
school. The teachers will be
asked 10 watch these books care
fully and collect them as soon as
the child is through with them.
Such books may thus be used
by several children. / trust that
that the good people of Chickasha
will see what can be done in this
matter. / would also ask that any
one knowing OF children who can
not afford to attend school will
report all such to me that these
may also be looked after
Very Respectfully,
w. S. STALEY

noon at 8 O'Clock.
| THIS meeting is called for the purpose Of

there are not enough to carry on the work

| The society helps those who are not re-
ceiving help from the city, aud in most
cases who are not eligible to such help.

has 1t been the policy OF the society to
keep children in schools.

AGAINST REVISION.
SENATOR HALE READY TO oP-
POSE IT-IMPERILS PARTY.
-, LECTION WAS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
IN PRESIDENT AND THE ISSUES,
THE TARIFF BEING ONE.

souator Hale has struck the keynote OF
,ns attitude of the republican party ON
,,s matter OF tariff revision, and while
h,s view as Published is his personal one,
n doubtless reflects the views OF vast
msiority OF the republicans 10 Congress.
The senator's views, as published last
week ia the Washington Post, are as fol
lows:
"The presidential election was remark
.ble.r Senator Hale began, ''in the extent
AZ the repu olicen triumph, and rs is not
uuusuai In such ca es, some question has
arisen whether the party shall enjoy the
fruits Of its victory. 1t IL no rare thing,
siter political battle has been won, to
find the weak sisters coming In and urg-
Ing the successful party to lower its colors
and in whole or in part give up what !.
has won,
"For myself" he added, In decisive
tone, such as his associates at the Capitol
recognize as a signal Of an intention not
to bulge from stand once taken, ~ do
the face OF ALT opposition to it which l
can help to muster.
HELPED THE TICKET EVERYWHERE
"The lessons OF the election are plain
enough to read. Both the republican
party and the President were In high
favor with the people. The Presidents
individuality was q very strong element
10 increasing republican majorities every
where. He helped the ticket Ia every
state, and thousands OF democrats voted
for him who have not before been, and
never will be- republicans. AS for the
poor gentleman up at Esopns, who was
not In 1t at all, he was a good judge and
is a good lawyer, but he never succeeded
10 srousing any interest with the Ameri-
can people.
"But beyond all this the republican po-
siton and the issues which 1t maintained
not only commanded popular support,
but those issues were advanced and up
held in just as bold and courageous fash
ion as were the words and acts Of the
President. The position OF the party
upon three great issues--the protective
tariff, the currency, and the handiiog OF
oVergrOWn, ulctatOriHl, ana oppressive
trusts-was simply impregnabie.
EVERY attack by the democrats upon
these positions, touching either of these
great issues, met with disgraceful defeat,
and when the American people woke up
on the morning after the election and
knew The resuits, they had right to ex- 4
pect and to assume that the policy OF the
party upon these three great questions
had been settled and would be so consid-
cred during the next four years OF ad-
ministratiou.
TRADE WILL NOT BE SACRIFICED.
81 do not look to see any movement on
the part OF the administration either@for
tariff revision or for any tor u OF reel
pr, city that will give away the benefits of
trade, which are now In our favor, with
any country whatever"

President ia inclined to favor a revision

CITY MEETING.
QUIET SESSION HELD MONDAY
EVENING ROLLS OF ACCOUNTS.
TAXES UNPAID JAN. 1 WILL BE SUED
CHIEF EATON WANTS HORSE
HosE-oTHER BUSINESS.

The regular meeting of the mayor and
aldermen was held at Hancock hall Mon
day evening. Mayor Hagerthy called the
meeting to order at 735 with the foil
board present.
1t was voted that all taxes remaining
unpaid Jan. 1, 1905, should be sued. From
the talk OF the aldermen there is little
| doubt that they will be. Money the city
must have this winter, and Mayor Hager-
thy says 1t is coming from taxes and not
from loans.
At the beginning OF the present year
Collector Bresnahan had about $4,000 OF
taxes uncollected. OF this amount he has
gathered In something like 5000, leaving
$1,000 still uncoilected.
While Collector Trip has collected a
large sum, he sti! has much to do, and
says that 1t Is hard getting money.
The action OF the board Monday evening
puts new phase on the situation, and
those who can pay and do not may find
that they will have to settle taxes and
costs OF asuit additional.
The collectors have been chasing up
tax payers; hereafter it is likely that tine
Taxpayers Will chase the collectors, as
they did last week when they found their
property was going to be sold to satisfy
the holders OF several tsx-deeds.
Chief Engineer Eaton appeared before
he board asking for new hose-cart for
the Franklin street house.
The chief, while he would take hand
cart, doesn't want it. He is after single
horse cart to replace the old hand carts OF
the Senator Hale and City hose compan-
les.
He has spent much time looking up the
advisab ility of this move, and is satisfied
that he can run the department for the
same appropriation as is now made-$1 200
and at the same time have much better
service.
Mr.. Eaton has been In correspondence
with chief engineers Of OF her towns about
the size OF Ellsworth, inquiring into the
expense of maintaining an up-to- date
department, and was astonished at the
small cost.
he estimated that In the course of five
or six years enough could be saved to pay
for putting in such department.
The first step was taken about two
months ago, when the hook and ladder
company resigned and horse was put on
This has proved highly satisfactory.
No action was taken in the matter, but
the mayor assured Chief Eaton 1t would
be looked into.
The rolls OF accounts were read and
passed as follows:
