RUMORED TOLSON
WILL MAKE RACE
FOR MAYOR OF THE CITY OF
ARDMORE AT THE COMING
ELECTION.

Madam Rumor has it that there is
another candidate for mayor in the
field this morning in the person OF s.
S. Tolson.
1t was impossible to locate him this
morning and get the rumor either YER
flied or denied, but the report seemed
to gain strength as the day progress
ed, and should he decide to enter the
race he would make it extremely in
teresting for the other candidates, to
say the least of it. This will be num-
ber four for the office of mayor should
he decide to run-Cotner, Johnston,
Dawson and Tolson (perhaps.) This
ought to stir up quite a lively politi-
cal scrap at the coming election. And
it is also rumored that there are even
others who have heard the call of the
Dear Peepul."
Mr.. Tolson is the ex-register of
deeds of Carter county and in that
capacity made a good and efficient
officer.

WHO KILLED THE
MAYOR OF AROM0RE
UP STATE PARTY ANXIOUS TO
GATHER THE REWARD FOR
THE SlAYERS.

Uncle Tony Herr" has been in the
employ of Uncle Sam as office man
in the United States marshals office
since the mind of man runneth not
to the contrary. and Uncle Tony
has the happy disposition of never
letting things worry him very much,
but when he does get peeved, there
is something stirring in the office
and the deputies are treated to a
rhapsody of Teutonic. Hibernian,
Caledonian, and Albion eNpletives
that cause them to sit up and take no
tice.
A few days ago he received COM
munication from Mcqueen, Okla
wherever that is, asking whether the
reward offered for the party or par
ties who murdered the mayor of Ard
more was still offered and asking for
description of the parties wanted.
When Uncle Tony" read the letter
he said: We'll I'll be hornswoggled." !"
or something that sounded very much
like It in German, and said what
do YOU think of that in English, to
the men on duty in the office. Now
there has been no Staying of mayors
in Ardmore, though there are some
who opine that little butchery would
be in order, and "Uncle Tony wrote
and asked this party what he had
been smoking and who furnished the
dope.

ARDMORE BAND
A HUGE SUCCESS
TALENTED MUSICIANS OF THE
CITY WILL SOON BE ABLE TO
RENDER CLASSICAL PROGRAM.

The band held its third meeting
last night and it is "A wonder what
results are showing this soon. 1t
was not expected that band 81
newly organized could even show a
coming-out talent, but stop and think.
there is in this band already some
of the best talent in the state OF
Oklahoma.
The citizens and business men
have been appealed to before to
take hold and lets have band,
but without response. Theonly thing
but without response. The only thing
and the boys took the matter in
their own hands and said, IF We
can't get any help w well proceed
without it," and the prospects FOR
the best band in the state are
good.
There is not man in the band
but what has had considerable train
ing in the work, and for this reas-
on, if for nothing else. the boys
will be on a professional basis in
"a shorter time than il would be pos
sible to bring up a new lot. With
a start OF twenty seasoned musicians
and the accessions that will be re-
cruited along as the other musi-
clans can get in will give Ard
more an organization to compete
with any other in the state, or neigh
boring states. BY the time the band
season is open, Ardmore can fur
nish out of her own ranks a band
of thirty-five or forty crack musi-
clans for any engagement for Dallas
or other cities in the southwest.
The boys have at their head the
best leadership to be had anywhere
in the southwest, talent direct from
the Boston Conservatory, that has
been proven after years or work and
study. Citizens must give hearty sup
port TO such a spirit as exhibited by
the boys. They are furnishing their
time, talent, money and labor to
have crack organization, and to
give Ardmore the vigor of met
ropolitan town. The band takes its
place with our best enterprises,
factories and various industries give
employment, but a band gives all a
feeling of contentment, and makes
town a better place to live in.

Value o: the Onion .

The onion has wonderful proper
ties and is both a food and medi-
cine. For colds and coughs it is a
remedy popular through many gen.
eratiOns.
A few onions sliced and sprinkled
generously with sugar, put into the
oven and baked until the onion and
slrup is brown is a cough medicine
hard to equal.
Raw onions are said to cure bron-
chitis and throat affections.
The only drawback to the full en-
joyment of this homely vegetable is
the odor which it leaves on the
breathe. Fresh parsley eaten after
eating onions is the best remedy
to cOunteract the onion odOr
Raw onion is more stimulating
than cooked ones and they are said
TO have a beneficial effect on the
compleXian, so the onion eaters
have some compensation.
Dreamed Onions on Toast. Peel
onions all of one size and put to
cook in little stock with a blade
of mace, and cook gently until ten
der. Drain and keep the onions
hot, then add a half cup of milk to
to the onion liquid. Add a little
| -four and butter cooked together.
Boil and season. Prepare a piece
of toast for each onion. Add a yolk
of egg to the sauce, lay an onion on
each piece of toast, pour over some
of the sauce, sprinkle with chopped
| parsley and serve hot.
Chopped onion seasoned with a
bit of mustard, salt and olive oil
and vinegar makes a very appetiz-
ing filling for sandwiches, Serve
them for Sunday night lunch after
church.
The delicious flavor of the onion
is used in countless dishes and eat
Ell with relish by many who profess
| to dislike the flavor.
Stuffed Onions.-ParbOil large
sized onions and remove the cen
tiers. Fill with seasoned sausage or
filling of nuts and crumbs Bake
and haste with soup stock or butter
and water. Serve as a garnish for
pork roast, chops or steak.

Don't Give Up.

If you've tried and have not won,
Never stop for crying;
All that's great and good is done
Just by patient trying.
Though young birds, in flying fall
Still their wings grow stronger;
And the next time they can keep
Up little longer
Tho the sturdy oak has known
Many blast that bowed her,
She has risen again and grown
Loftier and prouder.
If by easy work you beat,
Who the more will prize you?
Gaming victory from defeat,
That's the test that tries you.
