". B. PATTON IS SUPPORTED
BY A STRONG COMPANY

w B. Patton's new play, The
Blocl1head" is an exceptional play and
is interpreted by a company especial
ly selected for the characters they
portray. The firm hold the play has
taken on the public has been unequal
ed by any other comedy this season.
And the crowded houses greeting
them at every performance is positive
proof The press and public have
been both most liberal in their praise
and it is said that never before has
Mr. Patton had such a vehicle to dis
play his talents. One of the remark
able things about the play is the at
mosphere of intense realism which
permeates every detail Patrons of
the Auditorium will do well to en-
gage their seats early as a packed
house will surely greet Mr.. Patton
here on Saturday. February 90

The Oklahoma Legislature.

Guthrie, Okla, Feb, 1.-THE Egger-
man bill providing for a joint home
for confederate and union veterans,
which passed the senate several days
ago, is perhaps dead Recently the
Oklahoma Confederate organization
in session declared against the bill
and announced its determination to
build a home for ex-confederates by
popular subscription as first contem-

day that this would likely cause his
bill to die incommittee.

favorably on the Bryan Pure Food

BLOCK SYSTEM
RESPONSIBLE
FOR COLLISION
Death Of Summers
Great Shock to
Community

The failure of the block system to
work was the cause of the regular
Chiefton passenger car colItdfng with
a special from this city bound for
Clarksburg yesterday afternoon at
Fleming Chapel in which Carl Sum.
mers aged about thirty-six years, lost
his life Summers and John Renner
were the only men on the, special and
as they were rounding the curve they
saw the approaching passenger car.
Renner jumped, but Summers made a
desperate effort to stop his train, con-
sisting Of an fnter-urban car and two
fiat cars, in order to save the passen-
gers that were on their way to hits
city. He stood at his post and accom-
plished his purpose, but lost his life.
In the passenger car no one was hurt
except G. D. Caldara, Italian Consul
This was the first wreck OF any conse-

Herbert Hall, a brotherin-law of tne
man that was killed, was the motor.

special that was southbound. Hall
jumped from his car before the crash
came and escaped injury.
Following the Chfefton car was the
regular interurban between Clarks,
burg and this city. The car was
stopped in plenty Of time to escape
striking the Chiefton car in the rear.

statement:
The West Virginia Senators are in
trouble over the slate of appointments
recently agreed upon by them for fed

Scott went to the White House today
with Major Charles D. Elliott, for eight
years United States marshal OF the

Major Elliott failed to be put upon
the slate for another term, ex-Sherift
Doyle, of Marshall county, being the
man selected. Major Elliott was one
of the original Taft men in West VIr-
ginia, and the report today was tnat
he had asked the President to reap

Senators In turning him down This
was denied. The Senators have per-

The recent riot at Pittsburg goes TO
show the white brother of the United
States the necessity of closer alliance
with the colored brother The white
people of the United States are so
much mixed up that the only real
American is the Indian and the color

Judge Kimball rendered a decision
last week relating to the right to re-
sIst an officer. While this is very nice,
we trust Our people won't allow them
selves to be fooled. A few years ago
the officers of the District of COlum-
bia were noted for the careless man
ner in which they used their clubs
and blackiacks on colored prisoners
so we trust that we will take due no
tice, etc.
There is one thing we note in the
white papers in regards to publication
of matters appertaining to Our people.
Wis. they use the word Negro in our
opinion too much-the colored bro
ther of the United States is a full
fedged American deprived of his
rights). He has been in every war
that this country has had and has
proved his right of citizenship on the
field of battle. Consequently it would

to full-blooded Africans, and we have
none of them in this country. 1t is

some of our monied brethren to go

And eight other girls of her selec-

Jungle Girls at the American Theater
in New York. Montague in his news
paper letter says: Those gorgeous
Jungle Girls brought down the house
last night, singing and dancing with
wild music. One of the girls is an ex-
traordinary beauty, light browna skin,
alluring pink cheeks and black, stun
ming eyes. By the way, there is a
good deal of difference of opinion in
New York as to whether such a
beauty as she is should have the first
prize or some of these other girls
with soft white skin, dainty pink
cheeks and blue eyes. All the women
in New York, most prominent in So
ciety, whether white or colored
circles are using the new discovery
for complexion, called Complexion
Wonder There are two kinds OF
Complexion Wonder, Soft White and
Shell Pink. White women use Soft
White because it makes white skin
whittier. Dark colored women use II
because it makes the colored skin
lighter, and the women with brown
skin use it because it gives them a
splendid mulatto shade. No one can
tell that Complexion Wonder has been
applied. White women and light
brown girls should use the Shell Pink
for the cheeks. 1t gives them great
natural beauty. NJ. B. Berger & Co
