CITIZENS OF MUSKOGEE START
THE BALL GOING
OFFERS 81 100000 BUILDING AS BONUS
To Make Bid for New Seat ef Gov.
srnment-A Magnificent Capitol
Building, to be Constructed Of
Tishomineo Granite, Is Offered

MUSkOGEE: Politicians of the
northern part OF the territory were
startled when the business men of
Muskogee jumped into the fight for
the location OF state capitol building
with the proposition to erect here a
state building to cost a million dollars,
free OF cost to the proposed new state,
provided this city is designated as the
seat OF governmet. This is on the
theory that statehood, either with or
without Oklahoma, Is coming soon
. There had been a tacit agreement
among politicians that Muskogee did
not want the capital and would not
make a fight for it. Recently there
was a meeting Of some OF the heaviest
property owners in this city, with the
result as above stated.
The Phoenix, under date of June
18th. contains an illustration of the
proposed building, and the following
article relative thereto:
The undersigned citizens of Mus
kogee, Indian Territory, are in charge
OF plans to secure the capital of the
new state, and part of the plan is
to offer fine capitol building free,
under such reasonable concessions as
will certainly meet with the unani
nous approval of the people through.
out the new state. This building is
to be built Of Tishomnigo granite and
will cost $l,OOO000. Muskogee is now
the leading city of the new state and
is amply able to back this contract"
(Signed by six leading citizens.)
The above is the result of a capital
conference recently held in Muskogee
and speaks for itself. At the proper
time proposition will be made to
secure the location of the state capi-
tai in this city, and in the interval a
systematic plan of campaign will be
carried out.

At Scottsburg.

This is one of the most interesting
towns in Oregon, from an historical
standpoint. 1t once had 1900 popula.
tion in the palmy days when the min
ing rush was on from California to the
Oregon gold fields in the '4Os and sos.
Vessels came up TO Coos Bay much as
they went to Skagway in the days of
the first Alaskan discoveries and then
TO the Umpqua and out over the trail
up the river and across the mountains
to where Drain now stands. / climbed
the mountain this side of Elkton, over
the old trail the miners made in those
days, while the stage toiled slowly
around on the grade below us. How
they must have scrambled over that
high peak in the days of the gold ex-
eitement, and rushed feverishly for.
ward to reach the coveted diggings.
All the way was then lined with In
dians, and they were not overly friend
ly nj having the whites invade their
hunting and fishing grounds Many "A
miner was buried in nameless graves
on that trail. There were Indian
fights along the whole route, from
Curry county into the heart of the
Rogue river country. Mr., Hedden, Sr.,
OF Scottsburg, is one of the heroes of
that Indian war, having rescued a
comrade who was shot full of arrows
and helped carry him out to where this
stage station now stands. lie was
hero in those days, and his devotion
is recorded in Oregon pioneer history,
Mr.. IIeddeu is in the '90s, and hale and
hearty, so he is rewarded with long life
FOR his good deeds and honored by all
who know him.

fat, sturdy, healthy and sassy. He

such a crime since coming to Oregon.

Roseburg, Nov. 5.-My impression of
the state campaign just closed is that
the Republicans will poll about two out
Of every three votes cast on Tuesday,
and if Oregon sentiment is any gauge
of results the Republican national
ticket win sweep every northern state
and several in the south. Many Of the
younger and business Democrats and
Populists will vote for Roosevelt, and
some Democrats will not vote at all.
Parker was never their choice as a
candidate, and he has not increased his
popularity, while the shadow Of Cleve-
land hard times has not lost its power
TO make even Democrats stop and
think. This writer closes his speech
making just as he had got his voice
in good shape, and winds up his cam
paign work this evening at Toledo,

Vienna, Nov. THE most talked
of person throughout the dual empire
at the present time is Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, nephew of Emperor Francis
Joseph and heir presumptive to the
throne. Attempts are no longer made
to conceal the fact that the venerable
Emperor is fast sinking, and that it is
only a question of months and perhaps
weeks before the Archduke will be
called upon to ascend the throne of the
Hapsburgs and take up the difficult
task of maintaining order in the con-
glomerate empire and preventing it
from falling asunder.
The Archduke, though still far from
being popular, has succeeded in rising
in the public regard, especially since
his morganatic marriage four years ago
to Countess Chotek. From a rather
wild and profigate bachelor he has
been transformed into a model hus-
band. The only fear expressed as to
his prospective accession to the throne
is that he will be a reactionary ruler.
He lacks individuality and is known
TO be under the clerical influence of
his wife. He is especially unpopular
with the Hungarians and on more than
one occasion he has shown great want
of tact by wounding their national
pride. He may be said to be popular
only with the Bohemians, who look to
gaining their autonomy under his rule,
thanks to the influence of his wife.

Faith and Fact.

Faith is one thing and fact another, it
sometimes takes any amount of faith
to produce one fact. Years of earnest
work and faith have produced one
fact about medicine that is deserving
of mention here. If people who are
troubled with general weakness
through overwork, dissipation or ex.
posure can get remedy that will make
rich red blood from the food they eat,
their return to health is assured. Good
blood is the life of the body as well as
the nerves. Weak, sickly, pale people
who suffer with Indigestion, dyspepsia,
sick-headache, loss of strength and am
bition, having dizzy spells and always
tired, can be cured sound and well with
