some person or persons entered the

dow and, after wrapping about fifty
feet of rubber tubing around the Her-
ald press, and another ot equal or
greater length about the linotype, set
fire to the explosive and made their
escape The first mentioned was dis
charged, damaging the press material-
ly end blowing out nearly all the
windows of the building, tearing off
the screens and damaging the walls
and doing other damage to the build-
ing.
The hock seemed to have hail the
effect of extinguishing the flames
which were slowly eating around to-
ward the explosive cap oil the end ol
the tube attached to the linotype and
when in less than a half an inch ol
that point, thus preventing and dam-
age to that valuable machine being
done.
The parties evidently intended that
there was to be no mistake about it
fur they saturated the office floor
undei all the machines and other prop-
el ty contained in the room with
some kind of fluid, presumably with
the purpose of having the flames do
what the explosive failed to do, for
by the time the fire department ar
rived, the entire rear of the room was
a mass of flames and the early arriv-
al of the department enabled the com-
pany, lead by Win. Hailey, captain, to
extinguish the combustion by use of
the chemical.

Did you go to the humbug circus
If you didn’t you missed a fine chance
to laugh. It was some circus. About
fifty of Sapulpa’s leading actor- took
part. The affair was, as the name im
plies, a burlesque. The stunts some
of the hoys pulled off were good. Fat-
ty Piltz ran a race with a team of
mules hitched to a chariot. C C. War
ren acted in the honorable capacity ol
ringmaster. Nat l.igon make-, a
mighty sweet-looking lady hare-back
rider. We didn’t know Nat could do
it.
Tile parade in the afternoon wac
about three block long It was good.
The Humane Society received one-halt

the circus. They appreciate your sorv
ice greatly.

BURN UP BOOZE TENTS A BRAKEMAN KILLED
Krifttow Deputy Officer and Citizens ( aught Between Cars in a Missouri
Get Busy Town
Over at Bristow, the town famed for
good water, some fellow thought he
would start a thirst emporium in a
tent adjacent to the town, and dis-
pense other stuff thun water. His
business flourished for a time, hut the
citizens took the matter in hand. They,
in company with Deputy Sheriff J. A.
Self, went to the tent, raided the joint
and set fire to the premises. Further
affiant sayeth not.
J. 11. Lowe, 420 North Second, Sa
pulpa, a br^keman on the K. C. South-
ern, was caught between curs and
crushed to death Saturday. The fu-
neral was held at ( hadwick, Mo., and
Mrs. Lowe, the wife, attended from
this city
Right now when Sapulpa is trying
to vote bonds foi another high school

ction Monday night, to award con-
tract foi tin* erection of the two ward

were the lowest bidders and were
awarded the contract, their hid being

DIES SUDDENLY
IS HEIR TO ESTATE
Yes, the lid was on in full force
Sunday. The order had gone forth
from the "High Law" that everything
must stay dosed from midnight Sat-
urday until Sunday at midnight, so
most of our merchants took an en-
forced holiday.
Do you know, we really did not
know how badly we wanted that dish
of ice cream, coca-cola, or cigar until
we were informed that we couldn t
juy. We wanted some fruit and
thought as the town had gone dry we
might get some dried fruit, hut noth-
ing doing.
Did we say the law could not be en-
forced? If so, we take it all hack.
The officers have proven to our entire
satisfaction that they are able to cope
with our desperate gang of mer-
chants, druggists, butchers, tool man-
ufacturers, etc. Why, we understand
that several men refused to get a pail
of water for their wives for fear of
being pinched.
Y’es, it seemed rather quiet, hut it
is not necessary for any one to order
any crepe. They can dose Drumright
up for three Sundays out of the week
and we will still be the one best bet
on the map.—Drumright News.
Miss Edwina Hopkins, daughter ot
Mrs. Maude Hopkins, has been noti-1

kins, accompanied by her mother, will
go to Jackson as soon as the Taneha
school is adjourned.

FREDERICK GATES DEAD
Pedestrians on Dewey Avenue near
the American National Bank were
treated to a dose of gentle excitement
Monday afternoon, when a team of
long eared mules hitched to a wagon,
dashed out of the alley at break neck
speed. A nigger driver was in the
wagon hut he had lost control. Turn-
ing sharply at the alley the team
started east on Dewey, hut they con
nected with the beautiful electric clus
ter that did set in front of the bank.
The iron post was bent in two and
wrapped around one of the mule’s
head. Tile nigger got out alive. If it
hadn’t been for the pretty iron post
those mules would have boen going

The
Undesirable Citizen
r"1’ "■
By vtfalt Mason
Nine men get up at break of dawn,
and toil with splendid zest, to trim the
whiskers from the lawn, and keep the
weeds suppressed. They pull up Un-
ties by the roots, and swat all noxious
weeds, and softly -ay, “We’ll bet our
hoots these things won’t scatter
seeds.” They to their homes devote
their lives; they strive to keep things
neat; they know their lawn, where
blue grass thrives, for beauty can’t be
beat. The tenth man doesn’t care a
whoop how shabby things appear; the
weeds are growing round his coop in
regiments, each year. The grass is
smothered by the weeds, which swipe
each inch of soil, and every zephyr
blows the seeds, to queer the good
men’s toil. There is no law to make
him eat his weeds, or mow them down,
although his place will queer the street
and handicap the town. Why doesn’t
congress up and knock this Jonah on
the pate? For nearly every village
block has got the sort of skate.
.J
Saturday marked the close of the
window glass blast of 1914-15.
All the factories which resumed op-
erations something like a month ago
following the curtailment shutdown
ceased on schedule time.
A general scattering of workmen to
their homes or vacation points is one
of the results of the season’s termina-
tion, and manufacturers in many in-
stances will desert their offices as
soon as possible uid try to forget the
disappointments which have crowded
upon them during the last few
months.
This will he the easier to do, as bus-
iness during the past week showed a
continuation of the improvement re
ported in The Glassworker last week.
There was no overwhelming volume
of buying orders, hut a lot of glass
was sold nevertheless, much more in
fact thun could he reported during
some weeks in the normally best per
iod of the blast.
This tardy improvement is welcome
indeed, and presages much better con
ditions for the next hlust.
There is every reason in the world
why glass plants should he able to
operate profitably right from the
jump when the fires are again light-
ed. The stocks now on hand are
smaller by a great ileal than they
were a year ago, and it is considered
absolutely certain that all warehouses
will he emptied during the summer at
existing prices.
There is a growing feeling of con
fidence manifest in financial circles
in this country, and the recent in-
crease in building operations will, it
is confidently predicted, be followed
by a still stronger boom in this field,
with a consequent heavy demand for
window and plate glass.
Aside from these actual indication
of coming improvements, every one
engaged in the window glass businesr
in this country has substantial ground
for encouragement in the fact thai
the industry has successfully emerg
ed from two such precarious year*’ a
have just dragged past. us.
Perhaps no one is able to show a.-
big profits for the last two years a.
he, under normal conditions, would
have been justified in expecting, but
the mere fact that manufacturer
have weathered the storm, and are
still uble to sit in the game, speaks
eloquently for tin* solidity of the
industry.
But actual conditions are far bet
ter than that. Not only are manufai
turers still able to carry on their bm
iness, but they are able to show a
profit, in many instances, where those
engaged in other lines of business
have gone down to failure and disas
ter.
A very potent factor in this happj
outcome has been the National Asso
ciation of Window Glass Manufactui
ers, which has convincingly demon
strated that there is a field for legit
iniate co-operation. Thanks to thi
organization there has been a nation-
wide discussion of costs, factory con
ditions, general demand, and correla
tive business conditions which enab
led the members to steer a safe
course through the shoals of threat
ened overproduction and general busi
ness depression.
There is an apparent disposition t,
quickly unload stocks at present, but
there is no reason for this haste It
is safe to forecast a good demand foi
all glass now on hand during the en
cuing four or five months.
