Great was the enthusiasm of our
people last - Saturday evening"wheh
the gas was turned on and with the
use of perpendicular pipes it was
made " to lighf up the whole city
bringing forth cheer after cheer; the
small boys turned hand springs old
people acted young lady equestri-
ans rode through the town from one
lighting place to the others speeches
were made by the more eloquent of
our citizens and the bands played
to the delighted crowds that thronged
the streets until a very late hour.
The English language cannot express
in words the feeling of delight that
was and is still manifested by the
inhabitants of our young city. It
certainly shows the high valuation
and deep appreciaton of an intelli-
gent and enlightened people to sing
praises for the glorious gifts of the
wise Maker of all things.
The latest reports from our "City
Dads" indicate that the street curbs
are to be established and a compe-
tent man placed in charge of the
grading and laying off of the street
and parkage. It is being planned
to have the cleanest and neatest city
in the new state right here at Skia-
took. Parties are here asking for the
water works and electric light fran-
chise. It is to be hoped that these
enterprises will be encouraged. Both
go to make a more desirable city for
habitation and business.

''. AIT OLD SOLDIER DEAD .
Ambnrf Campbell Died Yesterday
v' Afternoon at His Horns ' '
Shawneej Okla. August 14. Am-
burg Cmpbell passed away this after-
noon with paralytic trouble.. Mr.
Campbell was an old soldier and was

Will Eats to Corns Fast
It is two years before the Demo-
crtic national convention meets and
much may happen in that time.
Events will have to come rapidly
however to check the Bryan move-
ment now after it has gathered the
headway which promises to sweep
everything before it. The very name
of the man seems to stand for enthu-
siasm as does his presence. Persons
who some months ago regarded Dem-
o cratic success in a national election
as the last thing to be thought of now
talk of the election of Mr. Bryan as
though it were assured. There is a
magnetism about the Nebraskan and
a power of concentration perhaps
never possessed by any public man in
this country. He mounted the plat-
form of the convention at St. Louis
amid the greatest confusion ever yet
witnessedln a body of the sort. In-
stantly there was order and where a
confused mass of persons affected
by the pure madness of disorder had
hitherto been . wathching the move-
ment of the arms of the speakers
who were vainly trying to make even
a sentence heard in the general dis-
order sat intently listening to every
word from the lips of a man who in-
stantly stilled the storm and filled
every cranny of the building with his
musical voice. . His appearance in
pnblia abroad indicates that he has
not lost this tremendous power over
men and the reception in New York
a month hence will give the country
another opportunity of witnessing
the : magic 'strength of . oratory s
power which most persons had be-
lieved had given place entirely to
printed speech.

CAUGHT IN CAVE-IK .
Three Men Narrowly Escaped Death
at Chickasha.
; Chickasha I. T. August 14.Tbree
men were caught by a cave-in at the
sand pit a mile and a half south of
the city about 11 o'clock this morn-
ing. One of them was seriously in-
jured one badly frightened and some
were bruised while the other es-
caped any injuries but was a very
busy man for a while.
While the three men Lon Neal
Lewi and a boy about sixteen years
old were working in the pit the sand
gave way and fell on them. It caught
only the foot of Lewis and without
much difficulty he pulled out and set
about to rescue his companions. The
boy was standing up when the sand
fell and lie was buried only to his
head. He begged Lewis to rescue
him first but as the other man Lon
Neal was buried out of sight Lewis
went to his assistance after loosen-
ing the sand around the boy's head
so that he might breathe. Lewis had
no tools except his hands and he be'
gan to dig vigorously with them.
Seeing men pasing along the road he
signalled to them and help soon ar-
rived. The fresh men dug while
Lewis went for a shovel and soon
had the dirt removed so that the im-
prisoned man could breathe.
When they uncovered Neat's face
it was black and in ten minutes more
under the sand he would have suffo-
cated. He soon regained conscious-
ness was put into a buggy and then
brought to the emergency hospital
where his injuries were dressed.
About a ton of dirt struck him. He
was thrown forward on his face and
the sand covered him more than two
"feet. After receiving medical treat-
ment he went to sleep and rested well
till three o'clock when he was taken
to his home at First and Washington.

Democrats Organise.
Vinita I. T. Aug. 14. The Dem-
ocratic club held a meeting Saturday
night in the court house for the pur-
pose of reorganizing for the coming
campaigns of the new state. About
150 Democrats were present and
there was considerable enthusiasm
manifested. The following officers
were elected:
F. S. E. Amos president.
N. L. Gibson first vice-president.
Edgar Bufllngton second vice-president.
T. D. B. Frear secretary.
J. W. Orr treasurer.
An executive committee of one
from each ward will be appointed
later on. One man from each ward
was appointed to secure a thorough
poll of the ward as follows:
First ward Marshall Stevens.
Second ward Charles Hartman.
Third ward Taylor Cruthchtteld.
Fourth ward Ed Thompson.
One feature of the meeting had not
been scheduled. The sunise was
sprung by J. J. Spencer street com-
missioner who in s feeling speech
nominated T. M. Bufllngton for the
state senate. Although it 'was felt
that the nomination was somewhat
early the club nevertheless passed
the resolution endorsing the big ex-
chief. Mr. Bufllngton then settled
the embarrassing situation by de-
clining the proffered honor saying in-
asmuch as lie has a family to support
he proposes to keep out of politics.
A number of sjieeclies were made
by prominent Vinita Democrats on
the necessitiy of' organization and
harmony and the best of feeling pre-
vailed. Both the old-timer and new-
comer wings of the party were rep-
resented at the meeting and in the
officers elected.

DOINGS DOWN AT RAMONA
Items Caught There by ths Herald '
New Editor.
The Ramona Herald which A. D.
Morton bought a few months ago
has a new editor. His name ia C. R.
Stimson and he comes from Iowa.
Here are some of the items he found
last week:
Mrs. O. W. Updegraff has secured
the Ross building which is being
nicely fitted up snd will next week
open an exclusive millinery store.
The new city hall in the Creel
building has been fitted up witb seats
and other furniture by the city coun-
cil who have generously offered its
use to the Commercial and other
clubs of the city.
A. O. Poison organizer for the
American Guild order has moved his
family to Rartlesville and will make
that his future headquarters.
Quite a party of Ramona people
left for a three weeks' sojourn at
Eureka Springs Ark. among whom
were Mr. and Mrs. A. I). Morton
Miss Maud Deyerle Mfrs. Robert
Bass Miss Martha Gideon and they
were accompanied by Lillie Keeler of
Hartlesville.
J. II. Hinkle the new manager of
the Matsot Oil Co. 's leases succeed-
ed in getting a house Tuesday having
rented one from J. F. Stark and his
family will arrive shortly to become
permanent residents among us.
F. It. McAlison bought E. Hosley's
fine team of bay horses recently
paying him $510 for them. This
team has few enuals in the territory
and if placed on the market would
readily bring six or seven hundred
dollars. Ed. hesitated a long time
but finally concluded it was too much
money to have tied up in one team.
Attorney J. B. Robinson who re-
cently bought the law business of
W. C. Vanlloy was made city attor-
ney at the last meeting of the city
council. Mr. Robinson who has been
in Ramona but a year has impressed
all with whom he has come in contact
with strong personality and profes-
sional ability and the city is fortu-
nate to have such an attorney for its
legal advisor. '

MAY FORSAKE RICH MINES.
M. K. A T. Mines in Choctaw Nation
Closed COO Men Idle. '
SiiM'ijil tn Mia WnrM
i ......... .
Muskogee August 14. Now that
the M. K. & T. is getting its flood
tumbles in hand another and greater
loss than trackage is to be confront-
ed. At Lehigh two of the largest
mines operated by that road have been
flooded with back water that waa for-
ced up from Mud Creek and it is
feared that both mines are ruined and
cannot be reopened.. It is the opinion
of Pete Hnnratty head of the mine
workers' organization that the mines
can never be operated again because
of the slacking coal and the soften-
ing of the ground making the tim-
bering unsafe for miners to get into
the mines.
These two mines are in one of the
richest coal sections in the coal land
segregation in the Choctaw nation
and are under long term leases from
the government. It is estimated that
they are easily worth $100000. The
production from each one was heavy
tnd the inability to operate them will
shorten the Katy'a territory supply
of coal.
The water came up slowly in the
Creek when the heavy rains were
falling and all of the miners at work
if the ground had ample time to get
out. There were 600 miners put out
(l employment when the mines fill-
ed with water. The pumpers worked
heroically to keep the water down in
the mines but the pumps were of in-
sufficient capacity.
