HASKELL GIVEN
GREAT OVATION
GOVERNOR OF OKLAHOMA Is
CHEERED AT MUSKOGEE
Tells Crowd Which Meets Him with
Band He Has Incurred Enmity
of Corporations and
Roosevelt
[Rx Associated Press.l

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Feb. 5.-Gover-
nor Charles N. Haskell was given an
ovation here today when he arrived
from Guthrie to make his appearance
in the federal court and to sign a
bond under the indictment returned
by the grand jury charging him and
other prominent Oklahomans with a
conspiracy to defraud the government
and the Creek Indians in the matter
of scheduling dummies" in the Mus
kogee town lots distribution.
More than a thousand persons were
at the station with a brass band and
the appearance of the governor was
the signal for long and loud cheering.
Governor Haskell and his wife were
conducted to a flag decorated automo-
bile and 5ther cars were filed with
prominent local citizens.
With the band leading the way and
playing "Hail to the Chief and hun
dreds Of citizens bringing up the rear
on foot the governor was escorted to
a specially reserved suite Of rooms at
the Turner hotel.
When the hotel was reached the
crowd clamored for a speech. The
governor responded from his automo-
bile.
In his speech Governor Haskell took
a new departure in offering an ex-
planation of his indictment. He de-
clared he had incurred the enmity of
the corporations, of President Roosevelt
and of the government at Washington
by championing the cause of labor and
by preventing the inserting a clause in
the Oklahoma constitution hostile to
labor in case of strikes in the matter
of injunction.
He thanked his old friends and neigh
bors for the expression of confidence in
his innocence of the crime charged and
declared he would establish his inno-
cence.
.El4y Campbell of the federal court
h&S set Saturday, February Is, as the
day for the men indicted in the town
lot fraud cases to appear and plead to
the indictments.
According to the program of the gov
ernment as outlined by District Attor-
ney w. j. Gregg the trial of Governor
Hasketll will probably take place at
Tulsa next April. Both the government
and the attorneys for the governor are
anxious for a speedy trial.

Moxey, special bank investigator of

the bank clerks of the city last night

 Brothers, the trusts are trying to put another job on us now. They have bought up all the lawyers except Tompkins, he re- fused to sell. A lawyer that does not carry a pass on all rail roads in the county is not con- sidered a lawyer. If you need a lawyer ask him to show you his pass and if he has none there IS nothing to him. The same ap- plies to preachers in the way of half-fare ticket. (Damsel, look after the type, 1 am after the other fellow noW.) The Doctors are being bought up now by the trusts. Look wise, act wise. The doctors, 1 understand, have sent a representative from every town in the South to Columbia, s. C., to investigate a disease
 known as Pallagra. This disease is confined to the cornbread eat ing class of the South, meaning the lower class such people as you and 1. It is found out by the trusts that we intend to cut out high price flour and eat corn
 bread in 1910. The corn crop in
The Nevada County picayune., 1909-11-18

the North is short and they want to unload their high prlced flour on us. Pallagra is also accompa- nied by what is known as the Hookworm. This hookworm IS produced they say from eating corn meal bread from damaged corn. While it is claimed that this dreaded disease is confined to the Southern States from eat ing corn bread, we caught the disease from those little white sacks of meal we bought from our Northern brothers. As we have been using their meal for a number of years. this hookWorm is no new disease with us while it may be with our doctors. It is said that Pallagra Is more dangerous than appendicitis or Spinal Minigetus and that the hook worm commences at our toes and makes for our brain and unless our doctors are able to head him off he will reach the brain and we will be unloaded in the asylum. Is not this one
 good scheme to unload high priced flour on us? Every sensible man knows that corn
 bread and turnip greens cooked with hog lard is the only remedy for Pallagra, that Is nothing to handle. Dr. Guthrie has just made that trip to Columbia, s. C., for nothing. He claims to have gone to Mineral Wells but every body knows from his looks he had no business at Mineral Wells. Now, brothers, we have changed We have the good corn bread, the other fellow has the pallagra hook worm flour and little old white sack hook worm meal. Let us unload on them awhile and let them know what

it is to be infested with Hook worm and PalIaga. The air and climate of Arkansas is so pure that the doctors got out of a job. They undertook to do like some of our Senators and the Legisla- ture-graft awhile. But we took Arkansas, turnip greans, corn bread and hogjowl and knocked them out. They had an idea when they came to us with
 that great big word "Pallagra" and Hook Worm and it's dangers we would lie right down on our kitchen tables without even be-
 ing chloroformed and ask them to dissect us from the Hook Worm. If there is anything the farmer knows anything about it
 is the Hook Worm. The fools are not all dead yet, or this article would never have been written. But, Brothers, it is the pride of my life, and 1 thank God 1 have the privilege through our official organ of showing the darned ignorance of some people of cur age. We are living in the unrest climate in the world. The air IS preserving to everything
 The farmer leaves his ploughs at laying-by time right where he quit ploughing. Nothing to do but hitch up next spring. Our shade trees are our buggy houses. The mower is left in some wet grassy place in the field out of the way ready to

 country? We let the other fel- low talk us out of our pure hog lard and put us on cotton seed oil. They have already induced others to quit good coffee and
