The FROST
WAS HEAVY
SEPARATE STATE SPEAKERS HAD
HANDFUL OF HEARERS. AU.
DIENcE GRADUALLY DwINDLED
THE MEETING WAS A JOKE
Speakers Cross Fire. No Converts Made
For The Cause

It's little early for frost but it
fell last night, very heavy one, on
the separate state speaking al the
court house. Judge @. H. Alex
ander of Muskogee and las. H.Long
ofWetumka we're billed for speeches
They are good fellows and evident
ly sincere in their advocacy Of the
Sequoyah movement. Both Of
them declare they are for immedi-
ate statehood in any form but they
prefer a separate state for Indian
Ter itory
An audience Of perhaps IS was
present when the speaking began.
AT its close by actual count, it
numbered I3, which is an i'll omen
to say the least. The proceedings
were slightly enlIvened at inter
walls by questions from the audi
ence which had no other effect
than to put the speakers up tree.
Mr.. Long spoke first. He adj
mitted that he was a very recent
convert TO the cause. His first ar
gument was that we must vote for
the Sequoyah constitution in or
der to show congress that we are
i'll favor OF statehood. He next
expatiated on the Indian Treaties
at length, without convincing any
one however, that the Muskogee
convention was the divinely APP
pointed mouth-piece to express the
wishes of the Indians. Under the
treaties he held that Congress was
bound 10 give the Indians sepa-
rate state.
The second speaker Judge Alex.
ander, crossed fire with Mr.. Long.
He thought congress ought to give
US the kind of statehood desired by
majority Of the people Of both

The Grand Leader will keep
closed all day Monday preparing,
rearranging ard marking nown
goods sor the Big Sale which
commences Tuesday. The store is
fairly packed with this seasons S
latest styles of wearables for wo-
men and girls and all of which will
be on sale for considerably less than
its actual value. When the man
agemeut was questioned the reason
tor such radical action just at the
beginning of the season, he said:
This is the middle ofOctober, and
the fall weather is just month
late in opening. In about three
weeks our Midwinter goods will
arrive and something had to be
done to make room for them, so
we decided to make the sacrifice
now. as now, when people need
these goods most, they will appre-
ciate these Bargains. 1t is true
that most merchants hang on to
such goods for larger profit till
January, and then make the sacri-
fee, but you know the GrandLeader
does things different.

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge Of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children it ruins a chlld's disposi-
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due TO the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely nnfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; il is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths Of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency. the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits Of depression
with restlessness. alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected. so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound :
pain in the ovaries. and especially
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia. and almost
continually cross and snappyP
If so, your nerves are in a shattered
condition. and you are Threatened with
nervous prostration
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
tion than Lydia +. Pinkhams Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands Of women testify to this fact.
