EL RENO, O. T., JULY 20.—(Special.)—
Just try to remember h >w a circus used
to look when you were u boy. That is th•
way El Reno looks, the difference being
that LI Reno's pavllllons and booths cover
something near forty acred of ground, but

crowd and as soon as thejr were registered
they made a break for the iepot.
Eight heavily landed trains rolled In
on th" Rock Island today and as many
more over the Choctaw.
The clerks have got down tn business in
fine shape and the way they turn out their
work Is a wonder.
The police made a rich haul this even-
ing. A number of sure thing gamblers,
who have been doing business to the mor-
tllk alien of a number of citizens, were
caught napping today and brought before
his honor The same thing will he dnm
regular that our good people who have
the sand In their . raw to run up against
nother man's game and have the mis-
rtui e to lose two bits will have their
jvenge.
Hrer* after a man who complains ^f a
gambler will get the same dose himself.
!t takes two men to violate the law and
one is Just its guiltv as th- other, so say
(111 l'ollee Judge Neal Evans.
Those registered so far are men and
women who are sincere In wanting a
home.
There is one thing that El Reno can
boast of and that is. there has not
a burglary committed since the registra-
tion commenced.
The police force of El Reno consists of
th<\ city marshal. Hilly Robare, live regu-
lar police officers and seven special po-
lice. This small force is taking care, dally
of ever twenty-live thousand people. Each
man is on duty sixteen hours out of th-'
twenty-four and on the jump all of the
time.
The big shower of rain which fell yes-
terday did not cool the weather to any
great . xtcnt. It is terrible hot today.
Mrs c .1. Seeley of Kansas City. Mo.,
w is arrested yesterday at the Austin ho-
tel on information received ti at she w.n
badly wanted at Chilllcothe, Mo. She w.is
taken to the (.dice station and detained
until this morning when she was dis-
charge^ by Joii. e Judge Evans.
Two messages were sent to Kansas City
bin as no answer h id been received from
either It was thought best to let her go.
I 'pon being release.) she tried to bring ac-
tion against the officers who arrested her.
W hile under survcilance she was treated
with the utmost kindness which will not
be given her if she is , \er arrested again
Willie Stanley whose home is at l'erry
was overcome by the great heat after the
shower wsterda.v and last night he ran
amuck throught the streets cla.l only In
natures garments. <11 was arrested after
a hard struggle and placed in the womans
department of the city jail. His friends
w< re untitled and th. y will arrive here to-
night and take him home.
He ha not eaten anything todny and It
is thought that lie will drop to sleep from
sheer exhaustion. He is very violent and
will not let any person go near him. He
uses part of a window sash for a club and
swears he Is pursued by enemies who are
goingfi to kill him.
The registration today, It Is thought,
will reach 11,
Several hundred men have gone down
it to the new country to pick themselves
out a farm.

TOPEKA. KAN'S JELY 20.—Kansas his
had another day of the protracted he: t
(ilie or two light showers f-11 In eCntral
Kansas, but the skies over the remainder
of the state were < loudless. Numerous
cities have now completed thirty days
with only a trace of rain.
The state is again encountering the se-
ver.. heat that was present before the re-
cent period of low barometer.
At Ottawa, a tm' rature of 10S is re-
puted. In tin- district around onCcordln
the heat was withering, causing a num-
ber of prostrations.
In I ..-a v. n worth the temperature wig
107. This was about the average for the
entire state.
Corn, whit h had fairly good prospects,
a week ag". Is beginning to tassel on*.,
ami this will prove its destruction. The
slight rains "f a few days since freshen, d
the cereal and helped It to grow a llttl■?
and the nthe mischief was done, for soon
the tassel begins to appear and now what
there is of the corn will be so far pro-
gressed towanl maturity that even if rain
does come now it will not help the corn
greatly.
