STATE BOARD GIVES THE
TOWN THIRTY DAYS IN
WHICH TO TURN OVER
SITE.
Oklahoma City, Okla., June 25.—
Judge J. T. Highly returned from
Wynnewood Thursday, where the
state board of control of the hoys
and girls' training school held a
meeting and settled on the site of
the new building in which $25,(M 0
will be invested. After looking over
the sites near Wynnewood the board
went to Pauls Valley, and decided
that the 400-acre tract east of the
city was the most available for the
reformatory, as proposed. A time
limit of thirty flays was made in
which the town may secure deeds
to tile land and close the deal.
The following members of tin
board were present: J. E. Gibbons,
Purcell, president; R. A. Mitchell.
Wynnewood, secretary; Milas Las-
ater, Pauls Valley; J. I„ Brown and
Judge J. r. Highley, Oklahoma City.
Judge Highley stated he would send
the school one hundred boys as a
starter.
COTTON DISPLACES JUTE.
Guthrie, Okla., June 25.—After a
| conference with the state purchas-
I ing agent of Texas, the state board
of affairs today practically decided
upon the adoption of a rule which
will require that all products pur-
chased by the state which have to
be sacked or wrapped shall be wrap-
ped in cotton bagging instead of
jute, in order to favor home pro-
ducts inasmuch as jute is a foreign
product, while coton is one of Ok-
lahoma's staples.
The same sort of a rule is under
consideration in Texas, and will
probably be adopted there.

Guthrie, Okla., June 25.—Attorney
General West in an opinion to A.
J. Arnotc, county attorney at Antl-
ers, holds that a member of the na-

attorney of Harper county, the at-
torney general holds that a sheriff

I live to run my chickens upon
Illy neighbor's lawn; I live to raise
the dickens from sunset until dawn;
to spend Illy time in whining, and
grunting and repining, and when the
sun is shining, to swear the sun-
light's gone. I live to loaf and lan-
guish while others strive and toil, to
kick up lots of anguish, and trouble
and turmoil; I live to find and han-
dle all sorts of grief and scandal:
folks say I am a vandal, and should
be boiled in oil. I live to scoff at
virtue, 1 live to make a fad, of all
the things that hurt you, and put
to the bad; I live to prove the thesis
that hope's as dead as Greece is,
and honor shot to pieces, and all th:
world gone mad. I live to fuss and
clamor, while others smile and sing;
to pack around a hammer, and
knock on everything; to make my
tongue a saber, and slash at useful
labor; to criticise my neighbor—and
thus I have my fling.—Walt Mason.
O. II. Anderhub informed us yes-
terday that in our statement con-
cerning the difficulty he had at the
depot with party from Oklahoma
City, that party drew his knife be-
fore lie went to secure the wagon
standard. .Mr. Anderhub thought
that from our article some might
think that the knife was not drawn
until after he had secured the stand-
ard and began approaching with it.
As a matter of fact the reporter for
this paper did not know that a knife
had been displayed until tile ap-
proach with the bludgeon was made.
1'he facts seem to be that the Okla-
homa City party stood ready to de-
fend himself from assault by the use
ot a knife from tile beginning of the
serious difficulty betwen the two
men.

BIG BILL.
This man, who holds such high
estate, we've always known was
truly great; in parious times lit;
proved his worth, iu divers corners
of the earth. Where chaos held its
grisly reign, lie brough good gov-
ernment again. In time of peace, in
time of war, he stood like Henry
of Nvaarre, a stalwart figure, calm
and wise, with courage glowing in
his eyes. As Jurist and as statesman,
he has won a line celebrity, and now
lies added to his fame; lie went to
see a base ball game, and yelled, an I
stamped the grandstand floor, and
clamored for the umpire's gore. And
when the game was done, he said:
"Base ball's all right, you bet your
head Talk not to me of golf or tag,
nor yet of checkers chew the rag!
And cricket, polo and lacrosse are
nothing but a total loss! Base ball's
the finest, cleanest game that ever
made my larynx lame!" With such
a man as this to hold the helm our
nation's well controlled. Therefore
sail on, O Ship of State! Sail on
the fans will pay the freight!—Walt
Mason.
Mrs, J. \\. Armstrong who has
been quite ill for some days was
much better Thursday.

coming quite close to his kitchen
door. Mr. Poster said "that he liked
