The Carnival a Tremendus Success.
Hundreds of Out of Town Vis-
itors in Stillwater.
THE GREATEST EVENT,
In the History of the Metropolis of Eastern Okla-
homa. Immense Crowds Congregate.
The morning (if the second day of
the great Agricultural hii<1 Cotton
Carnivitl broke clear and bright. Not
unlike yesterday the crowd began to
assemble early in the morning They
found plenty of things to interest them
anywhere they might turn. A large
crowd was congregated all morning
about the exhibition hill- of the farm,
orchard and garden department. This
display is simply grand We have
never seen it rivaled in any country.
Merchants were busy sweepine thej
confetti, flour and oatmeal off their j
sidewalks for an hour or bo this morn- j
ing There were no scars visible on any
face this morning anil last night's jol-
lification was unanimously voted to
have been the happiest occasion ever
known in Stillwater. Streets ate so
blockaded with teams at the time or
this writing (10:00 a. in.) that one can
hardly drive along.
Kvery conceivable ihing ever sold
anywhere or, earth is for sale tight in
Stillwater. You Can get anything from
the size of a cane to—well, we goes* a
thoroughbred Hereford is the largest
thing on sale. You can buy a cane
that was made by an American soldier
who was captured by the Fllippinos
and held for ransom, while he was in
prison, and along with the cane you
can get a hot air story that * worth ten
cent* more. As yet no one has sprung
any needle work supposed to have
been done by Miss Stone while in the
hands of the Bulgarians ; but we woulu
suggest it as a good graft.
' it could not he successful without sol-
iciting aid of Oklahoma. When it came
time, the 4th day of last March, to in-
augurate a new president, they found
they could not do it without turning
again to < tklahoina. They invited our
Oklahoma hand—the very one we have
just listened to to lead the inaugural
procession down Pennsylvania avenue,
and rigtit handsomely they did it, too."
Taken all ir. nil the spetbh was cred-
itable and maintained Mr. Miller's
reputation as a public orator of un-
common ability.
