How does this wek her
strike you as April sunshine?

The people OF Anadarko
display a very commendable
interest in the candidates
that visit us from time to
time, we don't think. We
wonder if it has ever occurr-
ed to anybody that some of
these gentlemen will be the
first officials of the state OF
the state of Oklahoma, and
the now is the time to make
up our minds for whom we
shall vote.

Frank Peoples For
County Treasurer

We call attention to the an
nouncement of Frank Peoples, in
its proper place in our announce
ment column, for Treasurer of
Caddo county, subject to the ac-
ton of the Democratic primaries.
Mr.. Peoples is from Alden, Cache
township. lie is an old time Caddo
county man, and as well ac-
quainted ir. the county as any
farmer in it. He has always
been a Democrat and has work.
ed faithfully tor his party every
campaign. He has never asked
any honor at the hands of his
party, his services going as a
labor of love.
Mr.. Peoples is a business man,
and expects, if he receives the
office, to manage 1t in business
way. He promises a safe and
efficient conduct of the affairs of
the county treasurer, and will
serve the public as faithfully
and courteously as he may.

GARNET BACK IN FAVOR.
inexpensive Stone Now Worn In Num-
erous Designs.

The garnet is the jewel of con-
stancY and fidelity. II is the birth
stone of January, but to Judge from
the new and lavish displays of this
stone at the jewellers it's use is by no
means to be restricted to the January
girl.
It's warm red hue harmonlzes woll
with the rich dark reds to be worn
this winter, and it is probable that II
will enjoy a return to high favor.
It is not an expensive jewel. A
bracelet of gold plate, solidly incrust-
ed with garnets in square settings,
costs less than $40, but since mex
pensive jewelry is so much worn this
piece is not at all bizarre nor in bad
taste.
Brooches of garnets take the old
fashioned round form, although some
show new bird, butterfly and floral
designs. Garnet dog collars are ex.
tremely attractive, and coiffure combs
and pins thickly incrusted with these
stones are very beautiful.

Pin and Rlna Case.

A useful case for hatpins, pins and
rings is male of a piece OF fancy rib
bon with one Of soft flannel tackled
on to it. At one end are sewn two
or three little pieces OF chamois
leather, scalloped round the edges.
This is TO stick the pins into At the
other end a little bag is made which
draws together at the rim and is in
tended for rings. The hatpins are
run into the lining and the whole case
ls rolled and tied with ribbon.

CEMETERY BOARD

At the last meetng.of the old city council board
appointed to pass the title of lots in the city cemetery
1t is the desire of the Board to fix the title of all lots
earliest possible date. And to this end they request that
all parties claiming lots and holding certificate of purch
therefor file the with the city clerk at once Those
claiming lots but having certificate therefore, will APP
pear before the city clerk and make affidavit setting forth
the character Of their claim All others usng lots and not
havnggpaid for them requested make settlement

The Power of the Press

Hon. $. NJ. Rutherford, Of
Muskogee, in a private con
versation with the editor at
the Bryan after speaking,
gave us some of his impress
sions in regard to the press
of the two territories. In
as much as they differ SO
much from our own opinion
that we are of all businesses
at the mercy of the public,
we think them good enough
to editoralize upon in pass
ing.
Mr.. Rutherford advises us
that he has found u surpris-
ing amount OF principle in
the profession n,-surprising
when considered with their
necessities and meager in
comes. He finds that the
editor almost without eXcep-
tion is very touchy on the
point of honor and keenly
realizes his responsibilities
to his readers. He says he
never insulted the editor of
n paper by Offering to buy
editorial space, but has re-
ceived notes from several
editors inclosing such letters
from other candidates and
from corporate concerns
with whitening comments
thereon. He further informs
us that the editor is, after
all is said and done, the man
that will deal out the offices
to those anXiOns patriots OF
candidates, and that no one
realizes this fact more than
the candidate himself. Mr..
Rutherford was, therefore,
much pleased that the coun-
try editors, as u class, are SO
clean and so conscientious
as his observation shows
them to be.
We confess that we have
received several jolts since
we entered the scissor brig
ade, and that our faith III
editorial human nature has
been several times on the
wane. But we believe the
small paper is less likely tC
be dishonest than the big
daily, because it is closer tc
the people. And we are
much gratified at lAe result.
of Mr.. Rutherford's observa
tions, and proud to think
that while as n profession
we have to hustle, and Otter
to wonder whether we or the
sheriff will be in possession
next month, our name fol
honesty and conscience i.
known and noted in tn,
land.

Kutherford's remarks touch

NOT GOOD FORM.

Young man, it is not good form to
ask a woman to marry you. Only the
preacher or the justice of the peace
can do that Ask her If she will be
your wife-and, II she will, see that
you always keep the hndling splitter
handy.

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.


Business on the Washington Stock Ex-
change yesterday was larger than for
any day in the preceding week, and was
looked upon as indicative of little
livelier movement OF stocks on the local
board fer the future.
First. there was large trading in bonds,
amounting to $1,000 face value. which
was followed by the sale OF 45s shares OF
stock. The bond sales consisted OF $l3. .eoe
in Capital Traction 5s which brought
ll0ls; 5000 in Washington Railway and
Electric Is. at %; sl.OoO IN Telephone IS.
and $500 in Columbia Railroad IS. The
trading in stocks was chiefly in Greene
Cananea and Mitchell Mining. one sale
Of 100 shares of Greene-Cananea was
placed on record at 5ss. after bid Of Z.
the sale being the result OF a mistake on
the part OF a broker who said he sup
posed he was selling Mitchell at r. The
sales of Mitchell Mining were $50 shares,
all selling at ss.
As the time approaches for the stock
holders meeting OF the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company TO elect Off
GERS. considerable competition has arisen
in the matter Of proxies. IT is understood
that at least two factions are in the field
seeking control Of the company. The
combination formed several months ago.

Of the common stock and announced
through the newspapers that IL had con-

a certain policy, is supposed 20 have fallen
through. inasmuch as there WAS mis-
take somewhere as 20 the control Of the
preferred stock, which in the intervening
months il has not been possible 10 gather
in. This leaves the matter in some doubt
az the present time, and the bidding for
proxies is said 10 be going on briskly. in
