Eastern People Have Wrong Idea
—West is Different From
\Y hat is Reported.
Some time in the dear dead past
there was an Alkali Ike. II,- l,v,.d in
the West. He shot up the town—per-
haps a dozen times in his life, if |le
killed anyone he was tried for murder
■ and convicted in the most prosaic sort
of way. If he didn't kill anyone he
eventually died of delirium tremens, a
worthless, craven, miserable wreck
Not over twenty of them ever exist-
ed in the West, a id most of them died,
not in the penitentiary, hut in the hay-
mows of some livery stables.
And yet the Kast'g appetite for Al-
kali Ike remains insatiable. The Kast
bar pictured the West in a certain
way, and so it will have to be pictuied
forever.
This is brought to mind by a dis-
patch from El Meno in a highly repiit-
able newspaper in New York, a paper
which if it knew the falsity of the dis-
patch which it printed, would feel hu-
miliated.
1 lie dispatch describes the scene at
El Reno, the rough men of the plains
shooting down rows of lemonade
glares and through silk hats; de
scribes the all-night dance at HI Kenc
the brawny men whirling with dissi
pated women, and similar scenes.
The hast swallows that with unction
It wouldn't swallow the truth. If the
eastern reader were informed that
about half the men at El Keno were in
shirt waists and panama hats and
wouldn't be abl* to handle revolvers
mure eipertly than the same number
of men caught and corralled at midday
on lower Rroadway, he would vote the
whole description stale ami unprofit-
able.
If he should learn that the crack of
a revolver at El Iteno would turn the
town topaj-turvy in a few seconds,
that no inatapce of shooting down a
row of glasses has been known in the
W*st in thirty years, the eastener
would feel himself cheated.
To learn that there is no dancing
f latform at El Keno. that the all-night
<l nce is mythical, that six men police
the town, that along about 11 o'clock
fifteen thousand people were sleeping
soundly and securely with no more
racket about than can be heard at
night in a Georgie village, would cast
a teil of gloom over the man along the
Atlantic coast who is weded to a men-
tal picture of the West, he would not
relinquish if he could.
' lie story of El Keno is this: Ten
thousand orderly, well-clad cit izens
arrive daily, atlend to business bikI
catch the first train out. Not n gun is
in sight. There are no drunkards, no
revels, no shootings-up. A cowboy hat
or fringed trousers has not yet appear-
ed on the scene. There is no dancing
platform, no dancing hall. The prin-
cipal dissipation is a glass of soda pop
"od the dramatic possibilities of the
*i'ene art- circumscribed to a row of
sensible men sitting nil the edge of a
railway station platform munthing
ham sandwiches.

Pose that the sun spots themselves ex-

The spots are simply indicators of
the sun's condition, resembling in that
respect the eruptions on the face of a
smallpox patient. They tell the story
of the sun s internal convulsions and
indicate some of the places on its sur-
face where the pent up forces are

JENKINS' REQUEST.
Asks County Commissioners of the
New Counties to dig Deep
Wells.
A request has been made by Gover-
nor \\ . M. Jenkins of ali county com-
missioners. appointed by him to serve
in Caddo, Kiowa and Comarche coun-
ties, to dig wells in the publie parks
and squares which are reserved in each
of the county seats, Anadarko, Law-
ton and Hobart. In this way the gov-
ernor expects to provide plenty of wa-
ter for all settlers and crowds that will
assemble at the various county seata
on the first days of the opening.
Governor Jenkins' request to the
eommistioners includes the desire that
the wells be put to a sufficient depth
| as to guarantee that there will be no
water famine. Such provision by the
governor is far-sighted and will tend
to lessen very materially the suffering
and disorder that will naturally attei i
the opening.

United States Senator James K Jones

xpected the next president to be a
democrat, and while he would cheer-
fully support Mr. Hill or any other
man whom the democrats might nom-

party might display wisdom in select-

Whipple had twice ordered it down
and made threats of arresting the
master. Whipple reported his action
to Captain Knox, of the gunboat Con-
cord, who immediately ordered a tile
of marines to proceed to the Glenora
in a cutter. They boarded the Glenora
and themselves hoisted the British Hag
on the British ship. At the same time
a British flag was run to the masthead
of tbe Concord, the guns of the war-
ship boomed out a salute to the flag to
which Whipple bad objected and the
incident was closed.
