CLUB NET
Last Night and Discussed Situation
Invites Candidates to Come Out.

The republican club met at the
court house last night. It was a big
crowd for a republican meeting in
chickasha, about 25 being present.
The political situation was "cussed'
and discussed BY the leading lights Of
the party and some effort was made
to inject some Of the elixir Of life
into the emaciated form Of the G. 0. P.
As far as learned the only action
taken was to extend an invitation to
prospective candidates to get their
names before the public by announc-
ing. IN this way It is hoped to arouse
some of the boys to the point Of taxi
ing notice. It appears to be the opin-
ion here that a convention will be held
and state and county tickets will be
nominated.

people Of Richmond outlid themeselv-
es in entertaining their visitors. He
says the city is over twice as large
as it was a. the close Of the civil war.
Mr.. Downs was member Of Go. F Of
the 45th North Carolina regiment.
While there they went out to Seven

found the place where his company
captured battery and saw other fa-

Before coming home Mr. DowKs
went Is his old home in Danville, Va,
not having been back for forty-three
years. He found six people there who
were living there when he left. The
town had changed good deal and he
was hardly able to get his bearings.
"There was only one thing about the
trip didn't like" said Mr.. Downs,
"and that was to go back there and
see how slow they are and how poor
their land is and how hard it is for
them to get along. Thousands Of
questions were asked me about this
country, but they wouldn't believe
me; looked like it seemed too good to
be true to them. l told them that
there was more wasted here in one
year than raised there during the
year. / tried to get several 70 come
out and see this country. One man
said as soon as he got enough saved
to get him horse with he was go
ing to ride out. :
Said Mr.. Gowns: Il saw Mr. Bu-

they told me that as long as the people
there treated them so fine and fur
nished them street care fare to 60

to stay and take in some more sights. f"
20, yes, I forgot to tell the most
important thing Of ali, said Mr..
Downs, "and that is that there is no
better country between here and Rich
mond than that around Chickasha;
! this part Of the country looks better
than any other part Of the territory
and I am better satisfied than ever
with Chickasha."
The other members Of the party whC

Oklahoma City, June 14-With Off
cial returns from Sc counties received
and private advices as to the vote in
all the others but Cimarron it is ap-
parent that G. N. Haskell has re-
ceived the democratic nomination for
governor by a plurality ranging from
$500 to $500.
The thirteen counties from which
the figures have not yet been secured
are Beckham, Cherokee, Custer, Har-
per, Major, McCurtain, Pushmataha,
Roger Mills, Sequoyah, Tillman, Wag-
oner, Woods and Cimarron.
Haskell's friends claim to have pri-
vate advice that he has carried Beck
ham by 100; Cherokee by TAO; Custer
by 20; Harper by $40; Major by $50;
Sequoyah BY 1,4OO; Tillman BY 100
and Wagner BY 200, These figures
are practically correct 50 far as could
be ascertained yesterday. They would
give Haskell total plurality Of $3.50
which added to his lead Of $40 in the
counties already in would make a
total of 4,430.
Against this Cruce has $50 in Me-
Curtain, 125 in Pushmataha and l,55C
/ in Woods, or 1926 votes, leaving Has
kelI final plurality of 2,6O5. This
leaves Cimarron county out Of the
reckoning but it is believed that. il:
vote win be about evenly divided.
In addition to the figures above tht

Haskell THE NOMINEE
BEYOND ALL DOUBT

Haskell men claim to have about 500
more votes in Haskell county than is
given them in the report published
yesterday, which would increase his
lead,to 8,1O5.
The race for state treasurer has
centered down to a fight between Dun
lop and Sunny Jim" Menefee, with
the chances decidedly in favor Of Men
efee. The 50 counties that have re-
ported officially give Dunlop 1892
md Menefee 2O,74S, a plurality Of
1866 for Menefee. His friends claim
to have advices from the remaining
counties to show that this lead will be
maintained or slightly increased.
In the race for United States SEN
ator Gore still has the advantage over
Hoffman and his plurality probably
will be slightly greater than that Of
Haskell.
McAAster, Callahan and Watson
have won ont in the race for corpora
tion commissioners, their respective
pluralities ranging in the order in
which they are named.
The race for insurance commissioner
bids fair to be the cloest fight in The
primaries, both candidates still claim
ing the victory. Burke leads on the
official returns, but McComb estimate:
that he will be able to overcome tht
advantage and secure the nomination
by about 500 votes.

The MOdesty of Women

Naturally makes them shrink from the
L1delicate questions, the obnoxious ex-
Eminations, and unpleasant local treat
ments, which some physicians consider
essential in the treatment OF diseases OF
women. Yet, if help can be had, it Is
Better to submit to this ordeal than let
tR8disease grow and spread. The trouble
Is that SO often the woman undergoes all
She annoyance and shame for nothing.
Thousands of women who have been
sured by DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
8on write in appreciation of the cure
which dispenses with the examinations
and local treatments. There is no other
medicine so sure and safe for delicate
women as oFavorite Prescription" 1t

Workman Killed in Battle.

Jenks, is deSd; MS brother, S. w.
jerks, is dying, and John Hayes is
probably fatally wounded as a result
of a street battle between union and
uonunion longshoremen. The tv0
jerks are nonunion longshoremen
and Hays is union man. The bat
tie was the elimination of trouble
which has been brewing here between
the nonunion and union men for a
long time. The mill men were de-
termined to run boats on the "open
shop" principle, and short time ago
formed a stevedore company to load
and unload lumber vessels. The
union men refused to work for the

FIRE OF TROOPS STOPS STRIKE
Rioters Threw Open Jails and PiIIaged
Stores and 1t Was Only by Using
Bullets that the Soldiers Were Able
to Subdue the Mob.

City of Mexico, Jan. 9.-Reports
received from Rio Blanco and No
gales, in the Orizaba mill district,
indicate that the government has COM
pletely mastered the situation.
The strikers have ceased all acts
of violence in the presence of the
large body of troops rushed there from
this city and nearby garrisons.
The seriousness of the affair, how
ever, was realized Tuesday when ii
was made known that thirty of the
workmen were killed outright and
over eighty wounded by the soldiers,
who were compelled to fire on the
main body of the rioters before they
could be dispersed.
The men after pillaging the COM
pany store at Rio Blanco mills, be-
came emboldened by their success. A
part Of the men rushed to Nogales, a
short distance away, where another
mill is located.
Telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires were cut, and pawn shops
and even private houses were pill
laged. The jails were thrown
open and the prisoners set free. The
residents of the mill towns fled in ter
ror to the city of Orizaba
When the strikers reached Noga-
les, one mill official and gendarme

tempt to check them A striker named
Morelos threw a huge stone at Senior
Herrera, mayor of the city of Oriza-
be, striking that official on the head
and bandly wounding him. Herrera
arose from where he had fallen and
shot Morelas, killing him instantly.
A body of troops arrived, and as
the strikers attempted to resist, a
volley was fired into them, killing 80
and wounding over 80. After this,
the mob scattered, the strikers gath
ering together in groups at various
parts of the city.
A body of 500 collected on the rail-
road track and held the train for Vera
Cruz for several hours, the engineer
not daring to run through the crowd.
Finally troops arrived, and charged
the men with broadswords, scattering
them.
The jaiIs and armories are filled
with imprisoned strikers.
The soldiers have been patrolling
the streets of the villages and watch
ing the property of the mill owners
The government has learned thai
a committee of strikers has left Or
izaba for Tlaxcala, Pueblo and other
cities to incite labOrers at those points
to strike. 1t was also learned that
one man, we'll known to the police j,
had left for the isthmus of Tehaunte-
pee on a like mission. All of these
men are being pursued by the federal
authorities.
