The man who carried concealed

the practice OF gun-totlng in order to
shield the asslnine work of County
Attorney MCGUIRE. II there is any
desire for the repeal of the law against

Leader has not heard OF It. The man
who carries a concealed weapon is a
moral and physical coward. He should
not only be fined but imprisoned as
well. There is no evidence extant pg
reckless "gun-toting" in these parts. In
order TO shield himself from condem-
natioa for "piplng on" three ignorant
negroes, the county attorney seeks to
give on the impression that the prac-

becoming general and that he is after

The Guthrie Capital says the D., 4.
& @. should not be criticized; that
Guthrie should be friendly to all rail-
roads. Quite true. But when these
same railroads seek to give Guthrie the
worst OF II in the matter of time
schedules, then Guthrie kicks. The re
cent change made In the time schedule
of the D., K. a G. hurts Guthrie and
Guthrie's trade. The business men OF
Guthrie have presented petition to
The Leader condemniag this change.
This resolution The Leader has already
printed. The business men of Guthrie
would never think OF presenting such
a petition to the Capital for publication
or comment, because the business men
of Guthrie know that the Capital will
always plug against general business
interests In favor of corporations and
it's own interests. The business com
munity of Guthrie has no confidence in
the subsidized Guthrie Capital. The
Leader always speaks for the great
mass OF business men Of Guthrie who
are outside of a certain coterie
which is involuatarily Interested in the
Capital. When The Leader knocks, il
knocks in behalf of Guthrie.

A CASE OF BEAUTY IN DISTRESS,

This case of Mrs. Burke -Roche-New
York-is one of the saddest that has
ever come within our knowledge, says
the Washington Post. Born In luxury
and raised a pet, Fanny Work in the
heyday of her charms and her viyaci-
GUS youth was quite the most radiantly
beautiful creature ever. Men broke
their hearts for her. They even con-
spired to kidnap her. There was no
madness or extravaganza she did not
inject into the veins of her admirers.
Then she married British person,
Burke-Roche, and spent what should
have been her honeymoon in vain re
grets. At last the inevitable separa-
tion came. but the disappointed beauty
returned to the palatial home OF her
father, Mr. Frank Work, in the only
metropolis wostL mentioning-New
York.
