Fire! Fire!

There is always fire on the end of a lighted cigar, but that fire should never injure the flavor or destroy the enjoyment in the cigar, as it does in most every brand of ordinary 5 cent cigars. I have just received a large consignment of

Big 4 Cigars

which are "catchers on." A man can not teU the difference between it and a higher priced cigar. It sells for 5 -cents but it is in every way equal to a ten center.

FOR STATEHOOJD.

Convention of Delegates Favoring Oklahoma as a State.

Nearly as Many Schfmes for Attaining it as There Were Delegates.

Bitter FIR lit Between Rival Towns for the State Capital—The Delegates Resolve fc. Themselves Into a Mob and Adjourn

Without Fr-rmanently Organizing.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok. T., Jan. 9.—The statehood convention which was called to ordsr here Wednesday promised to be the warmest gathering ever held in the territory. Nearly all of the delegates are in favor of statehood for Oklahoma, but there are almost as many schemes for attaining it as there are delegates. Ever since Oklahoma was first opened to settlement there has been an intense rivalry between the different towns.

Congress provided that the first legislature of Oklahoma should meet-at Guthrie and fix the territorial capital. Then began a fight of the bitterest kind between the different towns. Legislatures voted the capital three times to Oklahoma City and once to Kingfisher, but Gov. Steele vetoed it every time and the capital remains at Guthrie.

The location of the future capital of Oklahoma as a state, will depend largely on the boundary lines of the new state. If a state is made of Oklahoma with its present boundaries, Kingfisher or El Reno would be near the center, and would stand better chances for the capital than either Perry, Guthrie or Oklahoma City, on the extreme eastern edge of the state. So Kingfisher and El Reno favor immediate statehood of Oklahoma with its present boundaries and the Perry, Guthrie and Oklahoma City people are against it.

Wednesday night the delegates resolved themselves into a mob and adjourned the convention sine die before a permanent organization could be made,
