The trains will meet at Sapulpa
and will be the two finest trains in
the southwest. Their schedule is
not known as yet, bin it is known
that they will reach Sapulpa at
about 1:30 in the morning giving

T O. Jackson, of Oklahoma City,

already started and started with a

Judging by the way the campaign j
has started ofT, it will be one of the
warmest ever seen in this city. The
short tin|c in which to make a can-
vass of the voters, the primaries be-
ing he'd on the 20fh, has had the
effect of starting the politicians right
off the reel and the outhxik is that
things will get warmer every day.

The first conviction was that of I
Norman Chamberlain. The testi- j
mony was very strong against him
and the judge fined him $50 and
costs. The attorney for the defense
served notide of appeal at once. The
rest of these cases will be taken up
as fast as possible. The attorney
for the defense said this morning
that in every conviction, an appeal
would be taken to a higher court on
the grounds t'hat the police court

Mr Bruce said tha,; notwithstand-

were well satisfied with the new bill
and that It was the registers of deeds

to discussing .the revenue of the

The public schools of the city of
Sapulpa opened this morning at
nine o'clock. Girls and boys of all
ages and descriptions were waiting
at the various buildings when the
doors opened and they all looked
ready to settle down to the nine
months of s udy. Little work was
accomplished today except to assign
the children to classes and instruct
them what books to buy.
They were all released about ten
o’clock and then the rush for the
book stores started. The streets
were thronged with little ones with
their parenjs all morning and it was
almost impossible to obtain entrance j ivjtVj
into the stores where school books
.were bought. The crowds were so
great that they could not be accom-
odated and long lines were formed
and each pu.pil had to take their
turn.

was one for a generous block of
stock, the purchaser being number-

of other deals in Sapulpa that will
likely be closed up in the next week
or ten days and salesmen in Illinois
and Oklahoma City report negotia-

chases.”
With the renewal of business act-
the reports given out by the

most encouraging. The salesmen
