Whereas, the Honorable Stillwell
II. Russell, justice of the supreme
court of the state of Oklahoma, de-
parted this life at Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma, on the 18th day of May
1914, and
Whereas, the undersigned were ap-
pointed by the Ardmore and Carter
County Bar association to prepare
suitable resolutions paying tribute to
the memory of Judge Russell, and
pursuant to the discharge of that duty
we beg to report as follows;
That Judge Russell was born in
Brazoria county, Texas, February IA,
1916, OF pioneer parentage, and his
boyhood was spent in that locality
which was then on the frontier of
Texas. At the age of fifteen years he
entered the Confederate army as a

sd in this state since statehood for
improvements and for institutions
necessarily made the burden heavy
And il could not be expected that the
state would make such wonderful
strides in the absence of heavy eA-
pendltures for institutions and I'M
provements.
1t would naturally be expected that
Oklahoma would expend more money
than an old state of like area and pop
ulation, because Oklahoma is new
and has so many things to do that
the older states are assumed to have
done. However, it is being pointed
ont pv democratic candidate for au-
ditor OF Oklahoma that this state has
appropriated less money than Kansas
has for support of the state govern
ment and for the usual expenses OF
the commonwealth during the period
since Oklahoma has been state.
1t is noteworthy that the people OF
Oklahoma are doing a great deal OF
independent thinking. 1t is not con-
sidered likely that they are going to
be guided by the precedent of other
years in their voting for state officers,
If the democrats nominate good
ticket in August the people Will elect
it in November. 1t is not entirely
beyond the range of possibilities that
the democrats may nominate a ticket
or rart of a ticket-in August that
the people will not vote for in Novem-
ber. Then it will be seen whether the
old republican party in the state is
split asunder so badly that it can not
get together-provided one faction or
the ether of it shall have better
state ticket in the field than the pos
sible ticket that the democrats do not
want to elect.

PROCRESS|vES'F|LE
LIST CANDIDATES
NO EVIDENCE OF COAlESCENCE
WITH REPUBLICANS - WILL
VOTE FOR BEST MAN.

Oklahoma City, Okla, May 19.-De-
spite the fact that there is little diff
ference between the platforms of the
progrCssiyes and republicans in Ok
lahoma. and the further fact that
some OF the leading progressiyes who
are now seeking nominations as such
were candidates before the republi-
can convention, there are seventeen
candidates registered according to law
for nomination to state offices as pro-
gressives at this time. What promis-
ed to be a coalescence may now be
termed a rupture if surface indiCa-
tions be counted.
Bat the republicans are as conf
dent and enthusiastic as a CONNER
cial club secretary when a new store
comes to town The confidence of
the prcgressives seems to be all en-
braced, however, in the smile of the
men who are seeking office But it
is difficult matter to determine
whether there are votes behind both
parties in Oklahoma. There is no
chance for united republican party
or a unanimous progressive party
winning the state election in Okla
homa without lot of votes that are
normally considered democratic.
That there are many such votes ready
to be cast in favor of the best men
regardless of the party tag that they
may wear is probably true.
Speeches in the recent state con-
ventiou of bankers, for instance, show
that the bankers are ready TO secure
good government in Oklahoma and
to make for business stability by
choosing good men rather than party
men. This was a sentiment that
could not be overlooked in the ad
dresses, although il was not specifi-
cally stated in words. One of the
speakers said that Oklahoma has
enough of the men who-as outlaws
hold up a bank-and enough Of
those who hold up the banks within
the law-and the proportion of the
latter to the former is about ninety
nine to one.
There is discomfort is Oklahoma
over the revenue laws. The burden
Of supporting the state and county
and municipal governments is heav-
Ter than il ought to be. But the
great amount that has been eXpend-

chief fault was his generosity, and
his besetting sin his big heart. Little
children loved and trusted him and
the poor and lowly instinctively turn
ed to him for counsel and assistance.
Possessed Of this disposition as he
was, It follows that he possessed but
little of this worlds goods; whatever
he had belonged to his friends and to
those in distress;
That in his home life was best ex-
emplified his tender heart and great
affection for those near and dear to
him and dependent upon him. 1t has
been said that the true test of a
mans character is measured by his
department in his home, and measur-
ed by this standard Judge Russell
was everything that true and noble
man could and should be. Judge Rus
sell was a devout member of the Pres
byterian church, and took great pride
in performing all duties required OF
him az such. He was a person whose
charity was so bread that it over
looked the faults of others and en-
braced all humanity;

HOW YOU MAY THROW AWAY
YOUR GLASSES

The statement is made that thou
sands wear eyeglasses who do not
really need them. If you are one of
these Jnfortunates, then these glasses
may be running your eyes instead of
helping them. Thousands who wear
these windows" may prove for them
selves that they can dispense With
glasses if they will get the following
prescription filled at once: Go to any
active drug store and get a bottle Of
Optona; fill a two-ounce bottle with
warm water and drop in one Optona
tablet. With this harmless liquid So
luton bathe the eyes two to four
times daily, and you are likely to be
astonished at the results right from
the start. Many who have been told
that they have astigmatism eye,-strain,
cataract, sore eyelids, weak eyes, con-
junctivitis and other eye disorders
report wonderful benefits form the use
of this prescription. Get this prescrip-
ton filled and use it; you may so
strengthen your eyes that glasses will
not be necessary. Thousands who are
blind, or nearly so, or who wear glass
es, would never have required them
if they had cared for their eyes in
time. Save your eyes before it is too
late! Do not become one of these
victims of neglect. Eyeglasses are only
like crutches and every few years they
must be changed to fit the ever-in'
creasing weakened condition, so better
see if you can, like many others, get
clear, healthy, strong. magnetic eyes
through the prescription here given.

attorney for the district composed OF

several terms sheriff of one of the
leading Texas counties, and later was

was elected Judge of the eighth judic-
ial district of Oklahoma, composed of
the counties of Carter and Love, at

was reelected at the next general
election, and held this office until

him i'm later life, set about to prepare
himself for the practice of law, and

was not only learned in the letter and

OPTION ON SOAP MINES

Saturday r. C. Bellinger gave an
option on IL claims of the soap depos-
it on Smith Creek to j. w. Mcdaniel
of Reno, representing George Wing
field and other capitalists. The
amount of the option is $4,000, one
half to be paid as soon rs the
analysis of the material is made,
providing it is satisfactory to the
intended purchasers and the other
$4,000 within 80 days.
This is the soap mine that was re
Gently "discov ered" on Smith Creek,
although its existence has been
known for over 80 years. Mr.. Bel
linger has owned the deposit for
several yefrs and has spent consid-
erble time and money ~in,trying to
find its commercial value. In 1893
l.. D. Albert and the writer relo-
Gated the deposit spd owned it for
several years. They sent the stuff
all over this country and to Lon.
don, but did not succeed in find
ing any profitable use to which it
could be put. In the early eighties,
the stuff was manufactured into
soap in Eklo and sold on the mark
ct. The freiphts and cost OF material
used with the stuff to make soap
were 50 expensive at that time that
the company failed. Some of the
soap manufactured IN Elko is held
by some If our citizens as a souve-
mir. Since then new processes have
been discovered and the stuff may
now be a valuable commercial pro-
duct. We hope that Mr.. Bellinger
has made a sale of the prJperty
and that IFS purchasers will make
something out Of it.
The negotiations for the option
we're conducted by Mr.. McElroy.

Lander county. Saturday. night the
saloon of V l.. Rose at that place
was sacked by five men. Mr. Rose
closed his place at the usual hour
and went home but something
aroused his suspicious shat his place
would be attacked. He returned
TO the saloon later with a shotgun
and found that the saloon had BEEN
broken into and the bar and stock
thrown into the street. He held
up the five men who were doing the
work and tried to telephone tn
Battle Mountain for an officer, but
found the wire cut. He then sent
a man to a ranch, nine miles away
to telephone the officers. An officer
went to Hilltop and took the men
in custody and they were after
ward taken to Battle Moutain.
