for the Several Places on
Their City Ticket

you that he knows how to gather in
the votes. He is qualified for the place
and worthy young man.
ffB. A. Mcfarland for treasurer is one
of the best men the people of Vinita
have ever nominated for an office. He
is capable and trustworthy and should
have your support,
And when we come down to the
nominees for aldermen we find the
cream Of Vinita Republicanism. Just
stand 'em up in row and look at
them. There are Coley and Scott in
the First ward; 2agan and Darrough
in the Second; Wilkinson and James
in the Third, and Deck and Brady in
the Fourth. Where can you find their
equals? Town builders, every one
them.
Boys, you can afford to take off your
coats for the entire ticket.

=Vinita's annual election Will be
pulled off tomorrow, and as there are
three tickets in the field, all OF them
good ones, viewed from their respec-
tive standpoint, hence there can be no
good excuse for Vinita not having an
excellent administration next year.
The Republicans, however, have
named the ticket that should be
elected. The nominees on this ticket
we're selected from among the very
best men in the Republican party.
They are energetic, enterprising ard
capable, and they deserve the vote OF
every voter in Vinita.
ID. FL. Wilson, for mayor, is well and
favorably known 10 all the people Of
Vinita, and is well acquainted with
the duties OF the mayors Office.
E. M. Probasco, for recorder, has
been tried and has Iproven himself an
excellent Official.
@. A. Murdoch, for marshal, while
he has heen a resident of Vinita for
four years, and perhaps is not person
ally acquainted with every voter in
Vinita he is recognized as being a
good, strong, clean man, who will
make an ideal marshal.
Every one knows Charles Wasmund,
the candidate for collector, who counts
his friends among the Democrats as
well as among the Republicans He,
too, will make good official

FATALLY BURNED.
LILA WICKED
Sunday Morning at Her Home in This
Cty--Funera Took Place
This Afternoon.

Little Lila Wicked aged about five
years, was fatally burned Sunday
morning just before the noon hour at
the home of her mother on North
Vann street, the little one dying in
the evening after six hours of fearful
suffering.
The mother, Nancy Wicked, was
away from home at the time and just
how the awful accident occurred
is not known. The supposition is
that she went to the stove to start a
fire, using newspapers, and her cloth
ing came in contact with the flames.
Her little brother was present and
did all within his little power TO
smother Out the flames but bis efforts
were not equal to the emergency, al
most every stitch Of clothing being
burned from the little ones body.
Dr's. Amundson and Mccarthy were
called and did all they could TO allie
viate the pain, but the burns were toe
deep and severe TO be reached by hui
man efforts or medical skill. The
funeral took place this afternoon at
o'clock from the home conducted by
Rev. Hugh #. Moore.

ctlLDREN FOND OF SNAKES.
Revere, Mass, Youngsters Have Fancy
for Queer Pets.

Probably as peculiar set of toys
as any now chronicled was presented
to children in Revere, Mass. When
the four children of Mr.. and Mrs
Cyrus J. Brownell tumbled from their
cribs last Christmas morning to see
how Santa Claus had dealt with them
each found coiled in his stocking a
baby boa constructor.
Michael Gonzpla, of Calcutta, India,
one of the largest reptile dealers in
the world, was the Santa Claus who
gave the children these strange gifts.
The infant constructors, which did not
exceed nine inches in length, were
sent from New York to Revere in sea
son for the occasion. They were
packed in straw in ventilated box of
oak
Mr.. Brownell is a dealer in all kinds
of snakes. His four children-Donald,
aged two; Wendolyn, four; Maud, five
and Kathlyn, nine-seem to have in
herited from their father a liking for
reptiles.
The baby boas," Mr.. Brownell says,
will be perfectly harmless at this
early stage Of their career, and for a
few weeks will make interesting play
things for the children. They like
smokes as well as do. and even Baby
Donald is no more afraid of one than
he is Of cat. When the snakes be-
gin to put on inches and manifest a
desire to lie knots around the table
legs will put them into my snake
room and keep them there"
