Chief of Police Heck Thomas killed
a dog this morning that was supposed
♦o be mad. In passing the school
bouse near the corner of Third and
Summit, the teachers and pupils,
frightened by the action of the dog
called to him to protect them from
-he danger of the vicious looking cur.
Mr. Thomas, seeing that the canine
was frothing at the month, and wa*
snapping at everything in his reach,
;«roceeded to end the career of his
dogship by immediately shooting the
mad dog.
So far as is known the dog did no

tilcnn Wanted in Iowa
Search is being made through the
Lawton poatoffice for one Tom Glenn,
who is wanted in Sioux City. la., in
order to settle up the estate of his
ther, who recently died.
Tom is supposed to have been in
Lawton recently, and any one having
knowledge of his whereabouts
should leave word with the postmas-
ter.
Mr. Parmenter began by immortal-
izing the memory of "Honest Abe"
and by eulogizing all the republican
presidents from the civil war down
to this good hour, passing lightly over
the life and service of Grant and
Garfield, recalling but briefly the ca-
reer of McKlnley, reserving his ver-
bose thnnder to sing the praises of
the reigning lord, one Theodore Roose-
velt. His chiefest reason for admir-
ing Teddy was that he defeated Bryan.
He admitted that for sixty long years
the republican party has been so busy
fighting the democrats that they have
not had time to do anything else.
ludge Franklin always on deck with
a speech, was then introduced and for
some time expounded the republican
doctrine. The band played a few fa-
miliar airs to enthuco the speakers
and swell the crowd and in the first
half of their mission they succeeded
well but as to the latter they accom-
plished but little.

practicable In any w: y, I believe in

Mr. Magee declares that not only in
state, but nationally, the democratic
party conies nearer his ideal. "I
would wish that Mr. Bryan were some-
what more conservative in his utter-
ances at times," he says, "but respons-
ibility will make him conservative,
while I fear responsibility and friend-
ship will make Mr. Taft too conserva-
tive.

wishes. For these and other reasons
I shall support Mr. Bryan."

Saratoga. X. V.. Sept. 16.—Charles
Evans Hughes of New York was nomi-
nated today by the republican state
convention by an overwhelming ma-
jority and on the first ballot, to suc-
ceed himself as governor of New York.
He received 827 out of a possible
1,000 votes, as against 151 for James
W. Wadsworth. Jr., of Livingston coun-
ty, speaker of thestate assembly, and
!l for former Congressman John K.
Stewart of Montgomery.
The nomination was made unani
mous upon motion of State Committee-
man Barnes, Jr., of Albany, who has
been perhaps the bitterest and most
out-spoken opponent of the governor's
renomination.
The govenor's renomination
lowed the utter failure of a desperate
struggle on the part of a number of
the county leaders who for four days
have spared no effort to discover a
candidate upon whom they could un-
ite.

Putting up with the hospitable A.
H. Venable, I find he has good crops.
Going west and south to Faxon, 1
rustled several subs, and stopped with
my friend Will Tanner. Will has a
good crop of cotton and corn. Pass-
ing on I remained a short time in the
beautiful town of Chattanooga where
Mr. Jerome, the manager of tfte Sea-
well Lumber company showed me how
he appreciated a paper man. All
readers of the Constitution-Democrat
should buy lumber from him.
Going south from Chattanooga 1
found very poor crops until I turned
east toward Apheatone, where they
have good crops.
Passing hastily down to Randlett, I
am now at Temple.
More anon.
