of the evening.
The many games of the day were
indulged in with much interest, par-
ticularly croquet, as the ground for
the game at Dawson's is famous,
and being richly lighted last night
by ui non and lanterns, that seductive
amusement took the leading role of
the evening.
All kinds of melons were carved for
refreshments and the guests all ate
till they could eat no more. It was
quite late when departures were
taken and many were the "good
times" expressed.
Our citizens cannot afford to stand
back and let all the other towns in
the strip celebrate the anniversary.
The Commercial Club has taken the
matter in hand and have called a
meeting for tonight at the council
chamber, where the necessary ar-
rangements for a grand time here
will be made. Everybody who has
the city's interest at heart is urged
to attend. Several committees will

IMPECUNIOUS IRWIN LIES.
Story of a Kansas Man Who Believed
the Poverty Prevaricator's Yarns
of Destitution in the Terri-
tory and Came Down Here
to Buy Cheap Hogs.
From ll ' Wli'liltu Emtio.
Below is the best refutation of the
Uev (?) Irwin's whines and lies about
this territory that has ever been !
printed. Parmer Dean is an honest;
granger who really and lirmly be-
lieved the destitution and starvation
stories that were being deddled J
around the country by a pack of big J
bellied, small brained mendicants, j
and thought that he might prolit by
the lamentable conditions now exist-1
ing here, lor which he was in no wise
to blame, and determined to specu- i
late a little on the necessities of ai
poverty stricken people.
He came, he traveled and he re-
turned with empty hands, but with a
sublime and rock-grounded faith in
Oklahoma and a withering contempt
for her traducerb, that is character-
istic of all who familiarize them- j
selves with the resources of the terri-1
tory and which amply repaid him for j
his expenditures while poverty pur-
suing and hog-prospecting over the j
fertile fields and forest geinmed
plains of the "Land of the Fair j
God."
Farmer Dean relates his story to a {
Wichita Eagle reporter in his simple
rustic way. He has no ax to grind.
No desire for cast-off clothing and!
hand outs, burns and throbs in his j
heart. He is not traveling over the j
country, accumulating punctured
pants and collapsed corsets—a wan- |
dering Willie, a monomaniac on the
subject of cold potatoes and tattered
garments, and an itinerant scavenger
who should receive more kicks and
cuffs than charity.
None of these sentiments actuated
Farmer Dean. He simply wanted to
purchase some hogs. Here was a
people at the last stages of a finan-
cial collapse, and our farmer friend
with a bank account adjunct, would
fain step in and relieve them of their
distress and hogs at one and the same
time. But though he traveled the I
length and breadth of the territory, ■
he found few hog* and "fewer"1
cases of destitution. Here is his ]
story:
"I went down to Oklahoma this
week to buy stock hogs," said Isaac !
Dean last night, "and 1 had my eyes
opened very wide after 1 got there." .
Mr. Dean is one of the prosperous |
Segwick county farmers who lives on
the west side. He is not only well-to-
do but but rich.
There has been talk of aid in Okla-
homa and Mr. Dtan like a good many |
other farmers in this county very
