Oklahoma citizens seek popular choice for state capital
A memorial to the Senate from Oklahoma citizens requests amending the statehood act to let the proposed commonwealth choose its capital by popular vote rather than Guthrie. At a February 16 convention in Oklahoma City, delegates urged Congress to defer a fixed capital site, arguing local residents across Oklahoma and Indian Territory favor election of a capital, with funds from unsettled public lands usable for a capital and institutions. Mass meetings in Muskogee Shawnee South McAlester and other towns supported the measure.

Chained to a corpse the ancient punishment reframed
A 19th century moralizing piece argues that modern life mirrors old penalties by carrying the “corpse” of indigestion. It invokes Romans chaining criminals to victims to illustrate how dyspepsia clings, urging Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets as a remedy costing 50 cents per package.
