Thousands of People
Stillwater for the
Exhibit Department Full.
Queen's Day.
Pouring into
Carnival.
Sometimes we feel good in spite of
our determination to keoj> our spirits
tinder subjection. On certain occas-
ions we get mad when a little 7 year
old slips tip and blows it horn in our
curs and sometimes we smile. Today
we smiled. Wecottldn't help it.
Stillwater is full to overflowing.
Hundreds of out of town people began
coming in this morning at hreiik of day
and they have continued it up until
now. The expectations of the most
highly developed imagination hits been
more than realized. Yesterday the
business men put on the finishing
touch toward making this the greatest
thing of its kind ever held in Kastern
Oklahoma. They put their shoulder
to the wheel and I'I'khf.d. Kxhibit
IihIIs are full to overflow ing The Held
orchard and garden department lias as
excellent a display as we have ever
seen anyw here Judge Clark has taken
hold of the management in even better
manner than he takes hold of a mar-
riage ceremony.
The live stock department lias been
submitting to entries throughout the
day. They close tonight at "i p. m.
They have calls for just us much
more room as they have provided and
it will be impossible to accomodate
one half the entries.
Today is Queen's Day. Miss Dillu
Manner was Crowned Queen of t e
Carnival this morning at 11:30 o'clock.
Hundreds of people standing packed
like sardines ill a box witnersed coro-
nation. I'robate Judge J U Clark,
was introduced by Mayor Youst. Mr.
Clark in his characteristic manner ad-
dressed the hundreds of listeners.
"Agricultural classes of Oklahoma: —
You can well remember with me. a
time not far removed, when it would
have been Impossible to have gathered
such an audience as this in nil of l'ayne
county. The time can be well remem-
bered by all of you. w hen conditions,
existing, were not of the character of
todays. You can painfully remember
the time when our sole means of sus-
tenance was sweet turnips which we
learned to cook in thirty two different
ways. Farmer* of Oklahoma this in-
stitution ten years ago was unthought
of. We owe this to your efforts."
After a few other remarks during the
course of which he referred to Still
wateras the "Gem city of Oklahoma"
he pisued in hisspeech toCrownthe
Queen, l'andemonium reigned su-
preme. Horns tooted, women clapped
their hands in approval, college stu-
dents gave "yells," men shouted and
the bund played. Right gracefully did
Miss Manner play her part in the coro-
nation. Every eye was Hxed on the
beautiful young lady whose popularity
had won her crown. The eight little
maids stationed on each side of her
cotton throne, were in no wise embar-
rassed by the proceedure. Miss Jose
phine Gray, the lady contestant,
closest to Miss llannerin the selection,
witnessed tho ceremony from the bal-
cony of the Youst hotel end clapped
her hands in hearty approval. After
the coronation came the parade led by
the Mulhall Cow Boy band.
Tomorrow is oiiitens day. No ansr-
•hists or socialists allowed—just citi-
•cni.
The streets
and see.
of Cairo are—well.
1 he Mulhall hand has proven itself
capable of entertaining even the most
critical. The boys do not furnish the
class of music that their name "cow-
boy would suggest. Besides they are
all pretty good fellows and know how
to act.

"Now you stop—I was only throwin
confetti."
Judge liurford dismissed court this
morning because all thedepu y sheriffs
were down on Midway and he couldn't
issue a writ and get it served.

"Why didn't we cut up some of our
old papers and sa\e this nickle?"
Everything goes today. The town
belongs to the people. Judge Clark
and Mayor Youst gave a quit claim
deed for five days, this morning, in fa-
vor of the thousands. Marshal Annis
sn't hid out, but he is so enveloped in
inch a cloud of flour, confetti and rice
that he can't see anything but sharp-
ers. He has a good eye for them, how-
ever, and no bad character can stay
away from his clutch.
Everybody look out! We intend to
stretch a string of taffy across the
street in front of our office tonight, so
we can ward off the howling, tooting
band of pink cambric individuals and
have seclusion for a sufficient length
of time to compose an original poem
entitled, "A Tearful Appeal."
".Step up gentlemen and try a num-
ner. Have one 8am? &-7-9-I5-and 1!S
wins. The old man wins and the gam-
bler loses."
"If them bosses had pulled squar
they'd a outpulled that strong feller."
"Have you seen the fat girl?" "Yes,
lid you ever ?" "No—I never."
I.ook out for the devil on Thursday !
There is something strang* about
the fact that not one half the people
topped to speak to us today when we
vent down thn street.
Twenty five business houses have
Ignilieil their intention to get into
the trade,' display on Thursday after
•on. Let us make this the crowning
feature of the glorious Carnival week.
Frank Shoemaker has made a com-
mendable showing. Show your ap-
preciation.
Now is the time. The Carnival is
bound to he a grand success What
about Thursday? Will we have a pa-
rade which will be creditable? See
Capain Frank Shoemaker and make
arrangements to get in on that trades'
display.
If the A. and M. boys win from the
Chilocco Indians next Saturday, there
won't be enough of this town left to
satisfy our curiosity in the morning.
The prize bale of cotton to be given
away by I'almotir & Clark is now on
exhibition at W. 11. Hand's drug
store.
No lights no drunks-^no thefts—
few injuries to the feelings and no ar-
rests—an enviable finish to the first
(lay's program.
Now comes tile big show.
Stillwater is proud of her Queen.
What is the matter with the weather
man? Guess he'll do.
Off comes our hat and we make our
bow to the Carnival Queen.
Has any one seen Ed Munhall? He
was reported as "lost" early this morn-
ing.
