six more households this week,
Rev. J. T. Owens' who has been
been preaching a series of sermons
at the Christian church, was called
to his home in [Guthrie on ac-
lount of the serious illness of his
daughter. Rev. MoCorcle of Nor-
man will be hare Monday to con-
tinue the mooting.
R. Eckley and J. Harlow of
northeastern Washington, who
have boon looking over Yukon
for a couple of weeks have de-
cided to locate here and do
general merchandise business and
have leased the building recently
occupied by Sanders and Fisher's
hardware.
Mustang Fair.\
The fourth annual Mustang
lir and picnic scored a sucess.
Die season lias boon almost per-
fect and tlio display of farm pro-
ducts, dazzled tlio oyo. It was
hold a little too lato to secure a
lisplay of poaches, but on the
jthor hand it was hold too oarly
to do full justice to tlio corn dis-
play, which, however, excelled
that of any other year except the
first. The apple exhibit was
perfect, and the display in any
line could not have been excelled
any whore.
Wm. Ebeling who has just re-
turned from Illinois brougli back
with liitii an oar of corn which ho
said was the best he could find
in two or throe counties. I t was
badly shriveled and shows a coni-
9te failure of corn in that por-
tion of Illinois. Contrast between
it and tlio fat, plump ears of Ok-
lahoma growth was very marked.
R. E. Parsons had on exhibi-
tion a sixteen pound beet, which
beat any other beet there, but
there was no premiums on beats
iu the beet line.
A little boy while playing
around one of the big pumpkins
at the Mustang fair, fell through a
rack, but lighting on the pulp at
the bottom escaped in jury. The
cries of the hoy attracted the at-
tention of Mr. Ira Patton win
secured a ladder and went down
and rescued the boy from his
puiiipkiny position. He was taken
headquarters where ho was
laimod by his father, S.Nichols.
Rapid growth caused tlio fissuro
the pumpkin. We did not
learn who had it on exhibition.
Tlios. Purdin had some splen-
did Poland China Hoars on ex-
hibition. Of this stock lie ox.
pects to make a specialty.
A heavy rain in the morn-
ing in this vicinity, and threaten-
ing rains in other localities kept
many away, and another heavy
rain between four and live o'clock
disporsod tho orowd. The day
for the most part, however, was
ideal and the cloudy veil over the
sun was a most wolcoino protec-
tion from what would have other-
wise been intolerable heat as tho
fair was held on open ground.
L. A. Chambers has boon ap-
pointed democratic committeeman
for West Yukon, vice J. F. Krou-
til resigned. Mr. Chambers will
hold tho position only until af-
tor tho constitutional convention.
H. H. Leepor.
H. 11. Loeper, whose announce-
ment for delegate to tho consti-
tutional convention appears in
this issue, is one of tho most'
widely known and popular demo-
crats in this district. He served
for four years on the board of
county commissioners and the
highest integrity characterized his
work. Ho was fearless in oppos-
ing graft, not only among those
who opposed the democratic party,
but in tlioso wolves who masked
in democratic garb. Mr. Loeper
canto to Canadian county over
sixteen years ago and located on
the farm which lias been his home
ever since. His interests aro
wholly identified with the farmer.
Not only is ho a successful farmer,
(but lie is perhaps tlio ablest, par-
litnentariaii in the district, having
presided over many deliberative
bodies with credit to himself and
tlioso over whom he presided.

[J. K. Norton.
I. K. Norton of Piodinont an-
nounces with us this week as a
caudidato for the democratic nom-
ination for delegate to the consti-
tutional convention. While wo
avo never had tho pleasure of
mooting Mr. Norton, lie is spoken
f by his neighbors iu tlio highest
terms as a man whom overy deim
ocrat can take a just pride in sup-
porting. Ho is a successful farm-
er, and is very popular and lias
been a life long democrat.

Fvery child ot school ago in \ u-
kon district should bo started to
school next Monday and kept in
school until the close of the term.
There is nothing that will pay
as good dividends on the invest-
ment as a good education and tho
chilli who has completed tho high
school course has laid a firm foun-
dation for future schooling, and
tlio parent who does not give his
child every school advantage does
not do his duty. The public
school is rightly termed the bul-
wark of our nation.
