CLOTHING
LOGIC.

The name, HART, SCHAFFNER & MARX, on
a suit of Clothes implies much more than many
people think. Not only does this name stand
for the latest in style, the best in finish and
makeup, but it stands also for IAN Wool"
Every garment of this brand is strictly "All

Didn' t Show Up.

The Philadelphia base ball team, the Ouachita Bullies, failed to show up Thursday according toagreement to play our boys two games. The manager of the park here telegraphed transporta- tion to the manager of the Ouacih- ta team but they failed to show up. We are sorry that the Ouachita team failed 10 come because our boys were simply prepared to mop 'em. Our team went to Philadelphia to play the boys there under duress almost, because our team at the time was crippled and tried to get them here to play the first game on our home diamond, but the Bulhes insisted on them coming up there so we went with a promise from the Bullies that they would play us Thursday and Friday. This is sore disappointment to our people and bodes no good for Ouachita. Their failing to
 "show up" according to agreement re- minds us of the Sunday school boy who was asked by his teacher, what was a

AN ENJOYABLE
 OCCASION
"kinsfolks" Picnic at Home of Mir. and Mrs. w. B. Waller
 Thursday Afternoon

The "kinfolks" picnic, given at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. w. B. Waller on Thurs day evening and embracing the connection of that popular cou- pie was a most delightful affair and was thoroughly enjoyed by those present of all ages from Mrs. Mary Ann Madden, the grandmother and saint in Israel of eighty-four years, to Eugene Ford, the son of Ralelgh Hatley and the youngest of that name present.
 Although the affair was in all respects an "off-hand" one, nearly every profession and oc- cupation was represented. Also every state" as we'll as one Territory" " The presence of the Rev. I. N. Clack ensured the fact that if any one of the young people present had de- sired a nasty change of citizen ship from the state of single blessedness to that of a hap pier one the transfer might have been speedily-accomplished fact.
 About seventy-five people were present. but it is generally SUD- posed that our genial sheriff was on hand purely as a matter of ornament and that his presence was not considered necessary as matter of prudence.
 The gay frocks and ribbons of the young people and their gay CT laughter as they gathered about the long, well-flled table on the lawn made the elder ones perhaps a trifie envious and it is possible caused them to long once more for a draught from that never failing spring that renders childhood a paradise.
 Altogether the occasion was a pronounced success and it is sim cerely hoped by all who were given the privilege of enjoying it that it may be repeated in the near future.

 Neal Dow said, he would never carried the state of Maine for prohibition in he had not soWn it down knee-deep in temperane literature. The w. C. T. U., of Prescott; is not wealthy as was Neal Dow who spent a fortune in and for the temperance cause hence the Bazaar.
 A picture of a handsome bronze medal adorned the outside cover of the Union Signal this week. - It was awarded to the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union for the best Temperance Exhibit at the Louisiana Pur- chase Exposition, St. Louis, 1904.
 The power to tax involves and includes the power to destroy. - The federal government taxed the circulating medium of State banks so heavily that such banks withdrew the medium and it went out of existence. And the courts upheld that legislation. The United States government could tax the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors so heavily that no one could deal in them and make a profit, and the result would be cessation of the busi- ness. But it does not do so.
 Extracts from a speech by Her bert C. Shatterck, A. B., L. L. B. Ia young man. The tax on liquor is made just high enough to bring in the greatest income, but not to cripple the business. = And yet one writer calls this tax a moral frown" upon the busi- ness. If it is a frown, the busi- ness has boldly faced the frown, has wonderfully prospered, and has grown so rapidly that it will take more than a frown to look 1t out of countenance. It is diff cult to see the moral frown, " but it is easy to see the political smile.

time she was shot, her sweet spirit was gently borne away to that Eternal City. The funeral, which was one of the most in- pressive services of the kind ever held in OkOlOna, was conducted at the Cemetery by Bro. Teague Tuesday afternoon, and was very largely attended by sorroWing and symathetic friends. The Messenger tenders it's heartfelt sympathy to the sadly bereaved family but We know too well, that human words but fall to earth, when such cloud of sorrow hangs over a home, as that which the death of sweet little Winnie leaves over the Clem home, yet in the language of the poet we can say truly:
 "Another hand is beckoning US,
 Another call IS given;
 And glows once more with angel steps,
 The path which reaches Heaven."

An Awful Accident.

One Of the most heartrending accidents that ever occurred in t h i $ community happened Saturday afternoon, May 5th, when little Horace, the seven year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. s. H. Clem, shot and killed his IA year-old sister, Missie Winnie Glenn. It seems that the child ren were out in the yard, and that the little boy remarked that he was going to shoot his sister, went in the house, got the gun, and shot her. When he started for the gun little attention was paid to him, as the gun was never loaded while in the house, but that time it was, and when the little boy snapped it a full charge of No. i shot went crushing into the innocent body of little Winnie. The doctors were summoned at once, and every possible thing that skill, and loving hands could do was done for her but all efforts were in vain, and Monday afternoon. just IS hours from the
