Every State in our Union must have seal. appropriate and distinctive. 4 State without seal would not b. looked on ss finished product oi the State-making industry. And Sd it is that the Constitutional Convsn. tion at Guthrie has designated seal for the new State of Oklahoma. and as 1t will be something unique we ap- pend . full description of it as we find 1t printed in The Muskogee Times Democrat, as follows:
 l. In the center shall be a i've pointed star. with one ray pointing contain the central device of the seal of the Territory of Oklahoma, in- cluding the words Tabor Omnla vincit," the literal translation of It is Labor conquers all." and all of of -, the floral emblem.
 ?. The upper left hand ray shall contain the symbol of the ancient seal of the Cherokee nation viz. A ed by a wreath of oak leaves.
 3 The ray pointing upward shall contain the symbol of the ancient seal of the Chickasaw nation, viz i:
 
 with bow and shields
 {, The lower left hand ray shall contain the symbol of the ancient seal of the Creek nation, vfz.: A shear of wheat and a blow.
 5. The upper right hand ray sball con- tain the symbol of the ancient seal of the Choetaw nation. viz. A toma- hawk, bow and three crossed arrows.
 G. The lower right bend ray snai, of the Seminole nation, viz: ': A village with houses and a factory beside a lake upon which an Indian is padding a canoe. f sf, grouped between It's rays shall be forty-five small stars. divided into five clusters of nine stars each reprcsent- ing the forty-five States of the Union, to which the iorty,sikth F nov o,,, andsa ;n :. the whole device shall be inscribed: I907."
 This, it must be admitted, will be some seal. if not more. and will easily get away with any of the ernblems now on the nations list. The plan of putt ting on 1t the tribal seals of the fivo Indian nations which have long been known as the Five Civilized Tribes shows how the Indian sentiment domi- mated the Constitution-uaker These i've tribes or nations. Greeks, Choctaws, Cherokees, Chicasas and seminoles. have during many years maintained a separate existence. each having tri- bal government of its own, but all combined to form the Indian Territory. These tribal relations have beeh abol- ished. but the fact that the ancient seal of each of the five great tribes has been, or will be. placed on the seal of the new State shows the loyalty of the Indians to their old traditions and customs. and also shows, as sta- ted, that the red men virtually con- trolled the convention. Tho newly formed State is welcome, seal and all.

HIS LAST WORDS.


 Two things in connection with the death of .scltjah' Dowie were notable: One was that he lost none of his vin- dictiye spirit by reason of the ap- proach of the grim monster. and the other that his power over his late dis cinIes had ended. He had during his last hours prepared what might be called a funeral sermon to be read at his grave, but 1t was of such char acter that those who had charge of the funeral ceremonies would not allow 1t read. The following extract has been made public, and gives an idea of his feelings:
 I shall return, and with ruthless hand shall I exterminate the vperS ana the dors Of hell that now hold the nlgh Sreesned. % and ia the grossness Of their dreams they thought they had prevail ed over the first apostle And now priests and elders of Zion, shall re- turn and strike ye down. .
 brighter and more beautiful, and ten thousand times more terrible. to cut ye of in the midst of your sins and 70 win back Zion for tho truth ana IoI I them Ildg ACA0 " S%@N - VI no evil.
 That is what we may with proprfety call laying 1t on pretty thick. Although the bitter sermon" was not read In full as part of the funeral ceremonies if ia evident that something was known. for we are told that "panic seized some of them when they heard the announcement that another of voifva's followers lay dying. It was recalled that during the last week three Of his lieutenants. who had also served 11Uder Dowie, had died. The curse seemed to be already on its way, and when 1t was announced that fourth was dying it was not strange that some of the more excitable believers rushed out shouting that the curse had come upon Zion. To some Of them 1t must have seemed that the man they feared and knew to be dead still lived some where and worked his violent will as they had seen him do, but now with a new power of death at his disposal"
 still 1t was evident that the fear of their late ruler was not on the ma 3ority of those present. There were 5000 in he great tabernacle building, and 1t is stated that 'only handfull'' were panic-stricken, and that some five hundred left the building in com sequence of the confusion and ex- citennent caused by the panic of few. These frightened men and women re- nernbered how Dowie had ruled them with a rod Of iron, and they had not forgotten his oft-repeated promise or threat to come back and settle with those who had helped to oust him. The thought of what will happen to them if he returns got onto their nerves and they fled. Great was Dowie, in his way.

Postal Card Vote by Republicans
 Largely for His RenOminatfOn. New York Mail.
 poll of the Republican voters in ssf hsT week 9eEk bS GGHhnsy Ths yvenng @ on questions whether President Roosevelt should be urged to run again, despite his refusal to do so. or whether, 1T he lection would apply, and whether he is as strong with the people now as he was in 1904, has resulted in an over Rooseveits renomlnation and in the assertion that he Is stronger than ever with the people. The. percentage of re- fourths of the Republicans as favoring his renominatfon.
 The poll was made by sending reply postal cards to four RePublicans in haitian and the Bronx. The names of those to whom the cards were sent were taken from the City Record list without regard to factional affiliations. The first half of the card set forth that MT Roosevelt had repeatedly de- clared he would not run again, and that. despite this, the, whole country was discussing his reelection.
 On the other half of the card the following questions were asked:
 Should President Roosevelt be urged to stand for reelection despite his re- fusal?
 If he were nominated again, would the objection to third term apply in this case2
 Is he as strong with the people as when he ran in 19042
 Of the 3,464 postal cards sent out, the reply half of about 1000 had been re. turned yesterday. These showed 7Ss voters in favor of the Presidents re- nomination and POI against 1t, per centage of to 1, approximately. This percentage had been maintained with only slight variations since the hrst oi the return cards had been received, permitting the presumption that the total return would show about the same result.
 Most of the favorable replies on the renomlnation question contained the statement that he was as popular as ever. and many went further and de- clared he was more so. Any number of the 798 used such terms as "em- phatically for him." and mo one else. Those who went on record as against renomination urged the third term argument for the most part.

Curious GIeanings from British Post-

 London Express.
 As one sits down and gazes in modi-. fled veneration at that great cube or paper known by the modest title or The Postofice Directory one realizes eS thhe the immensity of the modern city.
 There are close upon 5000 pages be- tween it's modest covers. and each page represents mahy, journeys by weary canvassers into the fastnesses of Lon- don and its suburbs. It IS scarcely work one would approach for light reading yet there is more amusement to be got from a plucky journey into its interior one, at hrst sight, would imagine. -, your strength and turn to those pages devoted to each hOuseholdtng pater- familias and materfamilias of the great Smith family, you are at nrst aston pages are occupied in setting forth in detail their names, their addresses. and their respective occupations. There column at a low estimate contains a hundred names, which means grand total of 2,200 householding Smiths in London at the present time.
 The Jones clan only musters thous-
 and, but then the Jones clan was al- ways modest. Brown and Robinson are even less predominant The true humorous inwardness of Kelly's ponderous tome is only thor
 oughly realized when turning over those pink-edge pages devoted to
 trades and professions. Open the vol ume at the page set apart for detailing the names and premises of those ladies who have dedicated their lives to the
 horally garnished pursuit of millinery. We find an Iris, a Daffodil, aNViolette, a Rose-who by any other name would probably turn out as sweet todue-
 a Flora, and, appropriately, Chump- the sine qua non of the profession. Now let us drift to doctors A very | few years ago Holborn used to house
 a doctor who ejoiced-although, per- | haps, this is scarcely the correct verb | in the omious name of Coffin. This | year Kelly's pages are innocent of his | existence.

Captain Stephen F. Nunneliee, who died at the home of his daughter in Mobile last Monday should be grateful 1y remembered by the people of Ala bama. Tn his young manhood he was soldier fighting for the United States in the Mexican war. and from 'el to s5 he was a gallant and uncomplaining soldier of the confederacy. In addi- ton to these evidences of heroic spir- it. he was soldier of the cross, an humble and devout Christian who never brought reproach upon the religion he professed. Captain Nunnellee devoted the greater part of his life to the work of editing and publishing newspapers and made a reputation of which those who survive him have cause to be proud. A good man and a patriotic citizen has paid the debt of nature, and leaves behind a record of good deeds and of gentle, sweet influence which, time will not efface.

MT. Bryan and the RaIlroada.

Mobile Register. s.
 "A good many of our Democrats have taken issue on that subject (govern- ment ownership.) but l believe ulti- mately-mark the word ultimately-lt will be found necessary, and the rall- road managers will by resistance to at tempted regulation educate the people up to the ownership idea. a.-Willlam
 In all probability MT. Bryan will again carry the standard or the Demo cratic party next year. He is unques- tionably one of the most powerful poli- tical factors in the. country today. He has grown. Conditions have ravored his growth He { is underrated in no well Uniformed quarter. Ills views are not shared by Democratic Headers, but the great mass of the party believes in him-idolizes him-and will follow him. His extreme views have not handicap ped him with the rank and file. He occupies the same relative position with the Democratic party that Roose- welt holds with the Republican party. His honesty and his sincerity go un- challenged, and therein Is to be found the secret of his great and growing strength.
 therefore. is of interest, and his latest utterance-quoted above from a letter to his friend Colonel Hooe, of Virginia -is of timely concern. It hints at no purpose on his part to force the issue of government ownership, but predicts that the railway managers themselves will ultimately bring 1t about by re- sistance of attempted regulation, We do not believe that MT. Bryan reads the signs of the times aright Instead of resistance, there is unmistakably a steadily developing policy of acquies- cenee. The conservative railway man agers are adapting themselves to the conditions newly created, and the ablest of them are doing 1t in no half heart ed way. This course is prompted by wisdom, and will, if pursued. quickly put an end to the government owner ship proDaEanda.

 You will wear Japanese sleeves loose at the shoulder and not clearly dls- tinguished from the bodice, and these sleeves will be attached to q short waisted dress which will be either in cheeks or stripes, probably stripes The dress will show Japanese embroid- cry, will have brass buttons and will just touch the ground. It will be tailor made. You will not wear veil, because the Parisienne has discovered that 1t is not good for her eyes or hair '.

The Graveyard Cocktail.


 Some curious things that men call for in saloons were observed yester- day by a man who stood at the end of the bar and took in everything that happened. The usual whiskies and beers were frequent, but he also no- ticed that number of men asked for egg in milk and egg in sherry. You sell lot of eggs here" he observed to the bartender. You bet we do,' answered the man behind Hundreds of men take egg drinks only There are several men who come in here that order an egg in beer. How they can get away with that awful mess I cannot understand, but they drink it down as though they liked it. One man that comes here every day has them all skinned. He always stakes the most outlandish mixture of stout and milk. He's the limit for a crazy thinker and heads my list of curious booze artists. We call his drink the graveyard cocktail ht
