true OF the Old World has also been
true in this land OF ours. Our ad-
yancement has been steadily West

Pacific had stopped our progress and
brought to our minds the fact that no
savage foe was longer lurking in our
land to be conquered and that we
must now conquer ourselves and
reach the highest pinnacle of civillza-
tion.
quarter of century ago there
remained but one spot OF territory in
our Union of States, where the reign
OF "Whiteman" was not supreme, and
of course the white man was not sat
isfied until his conquest for this fer
tile land was complete and every
state in the Union and almost every
country in the world sent forth its
reddest blood to populate and build
up a sovereign state-one to be
modelled after the present day ciyili-

State of Oklahoma was ushered in

magazine for any donation made or
prizes offered. In addition to this
catalogue, the department publishes

generosity of those who donate to this

attention to the premiums and also to

character of the goods they have for

BY reason of the fact that the lum-
Der sold at retail within the state is
of such staple and similar character
that it would be impracticable for
each individual dealer to illustrate or
describe the material he offers for
special individual benefit, any encour-
agement of substantial donations
which can be gwen by the retail lum-
Der men as whole cannot help but
have a beneficial effect upon the
future welfare and prosperity. I'm
fortunately, there has been an unWar-
ranted prejudice on the part of the
rural communities against the re-
tail lumbermen. This has been incit-
ed and encouraged by lot of un-
scrupulous catalogue houses, and by
demagogue politicians. By showing
tne.r practical interest in the well
fare of the farmers and in the de-
velopment of the state should, and we
believe will, result in establishing far
more friendly and amicable relations
between the lumbermen and the
rural communities.

FORT WORTH, Texas, July 90
Especially. The persistent war that
has been made on the white slave
traffic in Chicago and number OF
other cities has resulted in driving
some of those engaged in the business
to other fields. Recently two OF

other from Chicago, started to apply
their nefarlous vocation in this city.
The police department, however stop
ped their effort in it's incipiency and
the two men were lodged in Jail. The

plice in the effort has so far evaded

arrest CT the men that one of them
was wanted in Baltimore for an Of
tense like the one for which he was
arrested here Baltimore authorities
are negotiating to take him to that
city. TIE Chicago man will be tried
here, and if public opinion is a cri-
terion by which one man Will Judge
what will happen to him, it will be
same years before he will attempt

The revolutionists encompass the

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The testi-
mony of Claus A. Spreckels, the mil.
lionaire sugar manufacturer, before
the Hardwick congressional commit
tee will, it is said, be thoroughly
sifted by the department of justice at
Washington. Spreckels asserts that
the sugar trust used violent means to
restrain the operations of its COM
petitors, he being one of the principal
ones. Spreckels is the man who con-
tributed most of the money spent to
break up the political ring in San
Francisco and send the grafters to
Jail, Abe Ruef among them. Spreckels'
testimony tends to show that the
sugar combine broke the provisions Of
lie Sherman antitrust law.
