A cast
reported
of bubonic plague has bet
in Spokane, Washington.
The town killer is the one who in-
duces men with capital, to come into
our midst and spend their money and
then deliberately sets out and robs
them of their investment as soon as
it is made. Such a practice is as
dispicable as to induce a strang* r to
accept your hospitality for the night
and then rifle his pockets while he
sleeps.
Governor ('nice has con teased the
charge that he is a corporation man.
Haskell out of office si ill stand s
by the constitution and with the
people.
Thirteen women were elected to
important municipal offices in ( oio-
rado on April 4.
If the city ownership of the water
plant proves a success 101 Reno should
establish a municipal abattoir.
The war news from Mexico has
given place to the arrest and confes-
sion of the Los Angeles dynamiters.
The people made the constitution
of Oklahoma. Do not allow the rail-
roads and their paid hirelings to tear
it up.
Trustworthy statistics ;-.ho.\ that
only nine per cent of the homes of
the country use electricity for any
pui'i ose
Governor ('nice lias shown to the
people of this state whose dog he is.
The superscription on his collar, tells
the story.
Vote no tomorrow and you will
have the approval of your better
judgment and your conscience the
day after tomorrow.
There are two potent reasons wh."
the people should vote against the
amendment to the constitution to-
morrow eliminating from the consti-
tution Article 9, Section 9. One r«-s
son is the railroads want it. done and
the other is the Daily Oklahoman
advises that it. be done. It is sale
to vote against any proposition that
these two misrepresentatives of the
people are in favor of.
Duluth they have a sliding scale of
prices. And each customer is fur-
nished with a meter.
The table of rates to the consumer
is as follows:
The first 10,000 gallons each
month 23 cents per 1,000 gallons;
next 10,000 gallons 13 cents; 80,-000
gallons 10 cents; 13.",000 gallons 7
c.'iits; all over 225,000 gallons 3%
cents.
Duluth lias 10,000 family consum-
ers; 3,340 pay less than .">3 cents ; er
month; 6.2SS who pay less than i?l.oo
per month and 8,S10 who pay less
than $2.00 per month.
This i. quite a different rate fr< m
I'M Reno's hydrostatic rate of 4<>
cents per 1,000 gallons.
Duluth has a corporation owned
• plant.
El Reno has a city owned plant run
by politicians in the interest of poli-
ticians.

HOYT'S TALKS
The town of Seattle, has decided
to give women an equal chance with
the men on the police force hereafter.
Here is an idea for our gallant Pete,
which for good common gray horse
sense, will knock his advisory board
higher than Gilroy's kite. l'hvet
good live women, one as desk ser-
geant and two as day patrol-women,
will clean this town of every gam-
bling hell and up town dive in less
than a week. Women have bett< r
eye sight than men. They can look
| right through an ordinary El Reno
.policeman or deputy sheriff and tell
j before he starts out on a raid whether
it will be successful or not. Nearly
all women can see clalrvoyantly. fhi-
facutty would enable a policewoman,
! when the officers plan a raid, to hear
the warning as it passes through the
j air to the joint and also to see who
is sending it. it would also enable
her to tell, when the mayor gave an
j order to clean up, whether he meant
it or not.
The new central power station for
the electric light system of l.os An-
geles carries one of the largest steam :
turbine electric generators in the
world.
Not much is being heard these days
about the moving picture men who
have the concessions for the Mexican
revolution. But they are likely as
busy as bees.
The Municipal Journal and Engi-
neer says usually at this season of
the year, traces of sewage bacteria,
in ail raw water of river origin, are
plainly discernable.
Some families assuredly get more j
than their share of the honors that
the world has to bestow. Charlie;
Taft has been appointed waier-boy I
to the baseball nine of the school he
it attending.
No depositor has lost a single dol-
lar by the failure of a guaranty bank
In over three and a half years. Sev-
eral banks have failed in that time,
but every depositor received the last
cent of his deposit.
It's only the federal government
that really has money to burn. And
no less than $3,000,000 in bills that
were tattered and torn have recently
been tossed into a furnace by Uncle
Sam.
The town of Everett, Washington
went dry last fall, and as a retalitory
object lesson to the temperance peo-
ple, the city government must go
without lights as a result of the loss
of revenue from saloon licenses.
A New York Central train, compos-!
ed of seven all steel mail cars and two
Pullmans, the other day made three 1
consecutive miles on an average of
thirty-seven seconds to the mile—the
fastest time ever made on a steam
railroad.
Wichita, Kansas has a man v. ho
complained to the gas company and
.vanted a bill for f>4 cents reduced
to 52 cents. This man has a brother
in El Reno who wanted us to deliver
a one inch ad to every man, woman
and child in town for ten cents in-
stead of fifteen cents.
TO RECALL THEM.
Petitions have been filed recalling
the mayor and three commissioners
of Huron, South Dakota. The com-
plaint is that taxes have been large-
ly increased unnecessarily, by the
city administration.
TOWN IN DARKNESS FOR MONTH.
Galesburg, 111., was in darkness for
about a month because of the in-
ability of the city to operate its elec-
tric street lamps. On account of the
poor condition of the boilers at the
municipal lighting plant the city
could not maintain both water and
light service and, owing to the need
of giving fire protection at all haz-
ards, it operated only the water
plant.
PRIVATE WATER PLANT P.EST.
Mayor Charles F. Heilman city en-
gineer, and councilmen of Evans-
ville, Ind., after a tour of inspection
of the water works of many cities,
declared that the plant and system ef
the Paducah, Ky., Water Company, a
private enterprise, was superior to
any municipal plant, visited As a
result Evansville will probably have
a reproduction of the Paducah plant
for its new water works.
"We have journeyed to New York
and other large cities of the eastern
central states, but Paducah has the
best and most modern water works
I of any city which we have yet j
struck," said Mayor Heilman.
Members of the light, water and
finance committees of the Evansville
general council expressed Mayor
Heilman's opinion, only they used
stronger words. The committee was
appointed to roam the country over
in search of an ideal water works.
I have received so manw compli-
ments on the manner in which my
show is conducted and the excellent
programs furnished that I am, more
than ever convinced that the popular
damand is for Ql'ALlTY in prefer-
ence to quantity, i know that my
entertainments are giving ENTIRE
SATISFACTION and 1 feel CONFI-
DENT that 1 have made regular pat-
rons of many of you who were not
in the habit of attending moving
picture theatres.
1 am working eighteen hours every
day in an effort to make my enter-
tainments the most popular in this
city and am sparing neither time nor
money to accomplish this result. Did
you witness that feature picture "The
Fall of Troy" shown in the Lyric
last week? If not, you missed the
greatest production ever offered in
this or any other country. Ask your
neighbors for their opinion on this
film. I regret that 1 could not hold
this picture one day longer because
I know there are any number of you
who had planned to come but could
not on account of the terrible rain
i storm, however, 1 am going to play
a return date on this picture in a few
weeks so you may all have an oppor-
tunity to see it. Watch the papers
for date.
Feature films are my hobby and 1
never allow a good one to "get by"
me. I don't advertise all of my fea-
tures, I just give my patrons an
agreeable suprise occasionally. My
"spot songs" are the latest published
and my singer receives all the "hits"
from the leading publishers.

The superintendent of the Duluth
Water works, is L. N. Case. He is in
no way related to the El Reno water
chief. Our Case is a different Case
altogether from the Duluth Case.
The Duluth Case is authority on hy-
draulics. The El Reno Case has some
knowledge of hydrostatics. Hydraul-
ics is a science, which treats of liquids
in motion. Hydrostatics deals with
liquids at rest. We could carry this
pleasantry further but, this is not
what we started to write about. We
started out to show the people of
El Reno and our hydrostatic city ad-
ministration as well, what it costs
the people of Duluth for water. In
