AUGUST 17. 1905
The fall term of the C. N- S. opens
September 5.
*
Few people In Edmond noticed the
partial eclipse of the moon Monday
night.
#
A shower a day has been the record
for this part of the territory ever since
Sunday morning.
*
If you are a knocker leave town
If you are a pusher get your shoulder
to the wheel and help advertise Ed-
mond.
*
The total cases of fever In the south
to day Is 1146, and the total number of
deaths 176. The authorities are now
gaining control of the monster.
*
Begni making arrangements to send
your chlldred to the C. N. S. at Ed-
mond the coming winter that they may
prepare themselvs for a good useful
life.
*
It was reported that this would be
the hottest day of the ynar but the rain
of this morning probably had a good
deal to do with the cooling of the at-
mosphere.
#
Mrs. N. E. Bond, of the Amle re-
scue home, Oklahoma City has been
removed from office for alleged Irregul-
arities and for disturbing the peace of
the Inmates by making a gun play.
*
The report which gained circulation
that Yellow Fever existed in Oklahoma
City has been denied by the county
and city health autherlties. They state
that on account o( the high altitude and
the cold night Oklahoma will ont be
subject to the fev^r. That Is good
news.
*
The census bureau of the United
States says the birth rate has con-
stantly been decreasing since 1860.
Now we are not running a statistical
bureau but If every community through-
out the states had done as well as Ed-
mond the past few months the govern-
ment will have to change their records
materially.
*
We are in receipt of the catalouge
of the Northwestern Normal School,
of Alva, of which T. W. Conwav Is
president. This catalouge is for the
years 1905-6, and Is a very creditable
work. As yet we have received no
catalouge of the C. N. S. of this city
which was Issued some six weeks ago.
At the Reno Avenue M. E, church
parsonage, at 8:45 last night Rev. F.
M. Pratt solemnized the nuptials of
Mr. Horace Dunlap and Miss Ella
Stephenson, both of Harrah, Okla.
*
Since L. W. Baxter, territorial su-
perintendent issued a call for school
teachers In Oklahoma. He has 500
letters from teachers from all parts of
the country. They are after jobs. The
matter has been of some embarrass-
ment to Mr. Baxter because he has
no authority to employ teachers Today
he issued a request that teachers
wishing employment write to the vari-
ous superintendents of counties and
make their applications there
*
We are running free of charge in
another part of this paper an announce-
ment of the opening of the fall term of
the Central State Normal School, lo-
cated at Edmond. This Is the first
Normal School established in the ter-
ritory. Its primary purpose Is to pre
pare young men and women to teach,
although those attending do net obli-
gate themselves to do so. This school
Is supported by the territory and every
young man or woman who expects to
teach should attend. The enrollment
last year was 903, of which this county
furnished 312. The diploma Is a
certificate. Teachers may take the
regular county examination there at
the end of the last term and if success-
ful the certificate granted is good In
any county In the territory.
George E. Gardner of the Lion Store
has conceived the Idea of sending an
exhibit of Oklahoma products to the
Grand Army encampment at Denver,
next month, and in carrying out the
idea has arranged to offer a series of
cash prizes for select products to be
delivered at the Lion Store before Au-
gust 30. The prize list follows: Best
12 ears of corn, $3.00; second, $2.00;
third, $ 1.00; and the same premiums
to be paid for first, second and third
half bushel hand-picked castor beans;
six stocks broom corn, 25 bolls cotton;
and six apples. The Grand Army
Drum Corps will look after the exhibit
at Denver, and although there is no
known competition from other states,
the single exhibit will no doubt tend to
advertise Oklahoma, and that Is Mr.
Gardner's object in pushing the prop-
osition.
