OKLAHOMA, THE STATE FOREVER.
Washipgton, D. C, Nov. 16 A new star was added to the
American flag today by the admissiou formally into the Union
of the Stale of Oklahoma. President Roosevelt at 10:16
o'clock this morning signed the Proclamation admitting the
territories cf Oklahoma and Indian Territory jointly as one of
th: American States. Little formality attended the ceremony
which meant so much to the people of the two territories. In
appending his signature to the proclamation the President used
a pen formed from a quill plucked from the wing of an Ameri
can Eagle. The pen will be deposited with the Oklahoma His
torical Society.
Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 16 A message was reoeived by Governor Haskell at his
rooms at the Royal hotel at 0:20 this morning announcing that President
Roosevelt signed the statehood proclamation admitting Oklahoma to the Union
at 10:10 (eastern time) this morning. The word spread like wildfire, and it
was but a few moments before pandemonium reigned supreme. Every bell in
the city rang out the glad tidings, scores of factory whistles screamed piercing
blasts of overflowing joy, and the hotel lobbies were filled to overflowing by
cheering men. Guns were fired, gianferackers exploded and the air was rent
with the general gladness.
Ex-Chief Justice Frank Dale, chairman of the inauguration executive com
mittee, presided as master of ceremonies at the Carnegie library. Terrfiorial
SecrotaryChas. H. Filson was introduced by Hon. C. G. Jones, of Oklahoma
City, chatunan.of the statehood committee, and in a distinct, clear voice read
the proclamation of President Roosevelt admitting Oklahoma into tl- Union,
which was received with enthusiastic cheers by the crowd.
Then came the wedding of Mr. Oklahoma to Miss Indian Territory winch was
solemnized by Rev, W. II Dodson, pastor of the First Baptist church of this
city, who declared them united forever Hon. C. G. Jones, ,of Oklahoma City,
in an eloquent and witty address, ma-fe the marriage proposal to Miss Indian
Territory. "Wm. A Durant, a Choctaw indian orator, responded upon the bo-
half of Miss Indian Territory, in a masterly manner accepting the offer of Mr.
Oklahoma. Mrs. Dr. D. O. Bennett, a beautiful Creek Indian woman of Mus
kogee, represented Miss Indian Territory.
Leslie G. Niblack, qditor of the Guthrie Leader, then administered the oath
of office to Governor Haskell and the crowd rent the air with cheers for Okla
homa's first governor. Governor Haskell then delivered his inaugural address
which occupied about t)iirty minutes and held the immense throng's close at.
tention until the very close.
J. D. Burke, chairman of the board of county commissioners of Logan county
then administered the oath of office to the other state officials.
The inaugural parade formed at the Carnegie library and was the longest
processioil ever witnessed in" the new state, being fully two miles in length and
including l,r00 militiamen and cadets, ten bands, thirty carriages carrying
state officials and committees, which were followed by hundreds of surreys and
buggies carrying-visitors, besides the different city delegations, civic orgunizr.

furthor says that most men and wom
en of this generation nro half-sick,
owing to dogonorato. stomachs. And
lastly, ho claims that his Now Dis
covery modlcino will rejuvonato tho
human' stomach in 90 days.
Coopor haa boon traveling from

oducatlon. For tho past year ho haa
mot tho public In tho largor cities
of tho country, and his success has
boon phonomonal. Thousands of

tors whorovor ho has gone, und tho
ealo of his modlcino haa been boyond
anything of Uio ldnd over before

Possibly tho most Interesting foa
turo of tho attention this young man
has attracted Is what his army of
i'ollowors, whom ho has convortod to
his bollofa through his medicines,
havo to say on tho Bubjoct Tho fol

known rosldonts of Chicago and Bos
ton, respectively, nnd tho enthusiasm
of thoso la characteristic of Coopor'a
admlrors gonornlly.
Mrs. II. B. Mack, of 3201 Stato
stroot, Chicago, says: "I havo been
Bufforlng for 12 years from a com
bination of stomach troubles, catarrh
and constipation. I had a gnawing
pain la tho pit of my stomach, a sort
df & dnll pain that I could not quit cm
dorstnud. Then thoro wan n doll head

oat I could not retain on ray Btomach.
I tried overy remedy I could think of.
nnd also tried out a numbor of patent
medicines, but without nny apparent

Coopor for what ho haa done for

Mr. Edwin F. Morso, of 20 Oakley,

The Old and the New.
A change has taken place at the
Court House. Those who Lave bcrved
the county the past three yeairi have
stepped down and out and the officers-
elect have stepped in to direct the des.
tinies of this commonwealth for the
same length of time.
In the out-going officers Beaver coun
ty loses many pains taking officials and
those who have devoted their best en
ergies to the benefit of the county.
On the other hand, those who have
stepped into the harness are just as
anxious to serve the whole people with
out fear or favor.
The majority of the incoming officers
are of the Democratic persuasion but
politics is not the order of thedny now.
Election is passed, politics must take a
back seat and each ollicer takes his oatli
of office to serve tho people without
prejudice or partiulity. Wo have eve
ry reason to believe each officer will
fu'fill tiiat obligation and give us n
good clean administration With that
belief in mind und being personally ac
quainted witli the present regime of
ollicers wo extend greetings to them
and recommend them to our readers as
honorable and upright mid worthy of
your every confidence.
G. C Maphet, commissioner from tho
1st district, was up to bo initiated into
his new office Saturday. He took all
the degrees and is now fully qualified
to look uftor Beaver county's interests
for some time to come. We have
known of Mr. Maphet for yearn but un
til this time had never hud the pleas
ure of a personal acquaintance. Wo
find him a very pleasant and agreeable
gentleman and one who, though even u
Democrat, will give Beaver county "a
squaro deal." Fact is, his polities is
all that Is wrong. He is fully uware of
the needs and possibilities of the coun
ty and there is no doubt but that his
administration will be a good one.
Those who have known him for years
speak of him as aconbclentlous, w11
