and the buyer has only the integrity
of the merchant from whom he buys
between him and fraud. Any piece of
cut glass looks white. brilliant and we'll
cut when alone, and only by contrast
with another piece can its superior or
inferior merits be recognized by one
not experienced.
" 1t is our purpose to sell superior
merchandise on the closest possible
margin of profit, and to stimulate trade
and interest cut glass buyers we have
had cut to our order a quantity of
bowls in four different cuttings (de=
siens) which we will offer Monday and
until Saturday at $500 each. These
bowls are of the most useful size, cut
from the purest white crystal glass by
the best glass cutters in America, and
equal to any $1,000 bowl offered by
any other house in Utah.
We do not expect anyone who is in
need Of coal and potatoes to buy cut
glass bowls; but, if anyone is in need of
a cut glass bowl buy one of these, and
come early, as the supply is limited
Besides this special article, our en-
tire stock of cut glass-and it is the
largest in Utah-is offered this week at
20% discount from our regular plain
figure prices.
We have two large shipments of
glass on the way and propose to con-
vert as much as we can Of our present
stock into cash before they arrive. Cut
glass is not only for the rich, but, bought
at our prices, is within the reach of even
the poor. andwiII give touch ofbeauty
to an otherwise forIorn-Iooking table
and Joy to the heart of the wife.
We will send one of these $500
bowls to any out-Of-town address upon
receipt of price, and refund the money
if purchaser is not satisfied.

Unusually Large Acreage VIII Be
Planted in Cotton.

Guthrie. O. T, March Henry Perry
OF Norman. a member of the live stock
sanitary commission, was in the city 10
day. He was here on business but TOOK
time to talk about his section of the ter
ritory and about the prospects Tor trls
years crop
Mr. Perry says that an unusually large
acreage will be planted TO cotton this
wear in Cleveland county. Nearly every
farmer will have a cotton patch. He says
tbe farmers in that county made a good
deal of money from their cotton last year
some of them getting as much as 10 cents
per pound
lie saws that he could name as many as
a dozen men in his county who came
there and rented farms and have made
money enough raising cotton TO buy fine
farms for themselves. He told Of IN
stances where he had known the yield to
be one bale to the acre. The bale Is 9O
pounds. and it will be seen that the far-
rner who got that kind of crop was get
ting s7h an acre and The seed eft, which
is worth something.
He SAYS Norman is distinctly schooi

GOVERNORS
TALK TOOK
Oklahoma Republicans Would
Have Honest Politics.
PLATFORM MUST BE RIGHT
Many People Are Discussing
the Governors Words.

Guthrie o. T, March 1.-The state
peared in the Wichita Eagle yesterday
morning caused good deal of comment
here today.
1t was known here that leading Repub-
licans not only in this city but in other
sections of Oklahoma had been urging him
to declare his position and IT was read
with no little interest. The Democratic
managers and a few of the dissatisfied
Republicans had begun to raise the cry
of machine and the note sounded by Gov
ernor Ferguson is taken up here and
doubtless will be all over Oklahoma.
He has told the people in substance that
he believes in a party machine for the
party but not for individuals of the party.
He is regarded here as a very cautious
man and above all honest in his convic
tions and methods and that is the reason
that his words are carefully considered
by oklahoma Republicans.
He believes that the great mass OF the
Republican party and every political party
in this country are honest and want to do
the best for their country and party Be
lieving this. he thinks that honest leader
ship consists in showing the rank and file
of the party what is right. He wants the
Republican party of Oklahoma to win in
the next campaign and in order to do this
he would have the Republican convention
make a bold PLAIN statement CT principles
that the nominees of the party could hold
up before the people and without fear of
successful contradiction say they are
right.
That is about the way Governor Fergu-
son talks to his friends and he evidently
intended to say the same thing in his
statement to the members of the party.
All about Guthrie today Republicans were
saying let us work for the Republican
party and make a party platform and ask
the nominees of the party TO stand on it.

CLAIMS SELF DEFENSE.
Row in a Saloon Results in the Death
of Man.

El Reno. o. r. March 1.-The Democrat
states that shortly after u o'clock Satur-
day night the Palm saloon. on Bickford
avenue. was the scene of an assault
which terminated in a shooting affray in
which Charley sherman, well known in
that city, was the victim.
AS near as can be learned, Sherman
and L. c. Trent had some words. sher-
man got very angry and made repeated
assaults on Trent. who in self defense
drew a gun and shot his assailant in the
stomach The ball ranged upward, pass
ing through the liver. and could not be
found.
One report Is that when Trent tried 10
leave the saloon by the front door. which
was locked. Sherman came at him with
knife. 1t was then he pulled n gun
from his pocket and fired the fatal shot.
After shooting Sherman, Trent gave
himself up to officer Stone who turned
him over to Jailer Hackett at the county
jail.
Sherman was taken TO the sanitaTium.
where he fingered until 4:3O this morning.
when death put an end 10 his suffering-.
The remains were taken 10 The homo Of
been visiting all day. Owing To Ed. Shei.
man not allowing the doctors 10 make a
full examination the coroner was not
summoned.
Col r. 3. Forrest and Judge ]. G. Lowe
have been retained by Trent. who will
no doubt put in a plea Of self defense.
Notwithstanding The fact that Trent
gave himself up as the man who shot
sherman. Coroner Dyer is holding an In
quest trying TO find out something more
than appears on the surface.
There are various rumors afoat ana
one is that nobody saw Trent fire the shot
and nobody saw him with istoi in his
hand After he gave himself up ana
when he was searched no gun was found
on his person.
The inquest is being held secretly. not
even the attorneys for Trent being al
lowed in the room.

negro woman known as Aunt Lie. -
in the southeast part Of town Sunday
afternoon, as the result of which Mrs.
Jim Owens a young colored woman, is

There are many conflicting reports, but
the facts in the case seem to be about
as follows: In the course of a quarrel
in which a number of persons engaged
one Jim Acheson, a young man, went
into an adjoining room and procured a
double barrel shotgun. Returning. he dis
charged the gun at short range. the
charge entering the left thigh in front
and tearing great hole through the limb
from front TO back. The woman was
taken TO the office of DR.. Wallace, where
the wound was dressed. but she died at
about 8 o'clock in the evening.

which closed its meeting here last Sat

over the two territories present with a
few from Kansas and Texas
They made a collection Of fine look

the two territories these men impressed
the people here with the idea that they

did not cut one anothers throats but
they did not have any agreement a. 70

others without any understanding about
prices.
They held a meeting in the afternoon
