After recount ing the serious features
of the storm that wrecked tbe tent of
a circus to the extent of three columns,
the Anthony Kepublican thu.« humor
ously presents the laughs that followed
teats:
"The town people wentdlrectly borne,
and In au hour every back yard wm
huug with wet clothes a drylug. l'eo-
ple from the country and from a dis-
tance weut to the dry goods stores and
outfitted with dry clothes of any aort.
Men got jumpers and overalls, while
both sexes cluard up a good share ol
the knit underwear in slock. Dress-
ing rooms, one for the ladies and one
for the men, wi<re Improvised at the
stores, and after making their pur-
has> s, the> retired, changed Into dry
dudes, and brought their soaked rai-
ment out to be bundled up. All the
calico wrapper* in town were sold and
a good many more expensive skirts
and shirt waists. The milliners were
raided to supply bead wear, and a gen-
eral transformation iu appearance took
place
"The dining rooms at the hotels were
scenes ot much mirth at supper time,
in recounting of experiences and guy
lug about looks. One young couple in
going to the train passed this office;
nhe had come In on the morning train,
tretsh, crisp, dainty, red cheeked and al
together delightful to gaz- upon, and
was returning, rosier than ever, in n
aim bonnet, a dark blue calico wrap
per 'wo size' too big and four Rises to<
I >n,r. Her escort would steal a glance
.it her out til tii<- corner 01 bis eye a.id
then stop and slap his lug and lantil
•4nd laugh till he'd drop the bundle of
wet clothes on the pavement. She
would Hush redder than a red June
apple, tier big blue eyns would till with
tears, then she'd look at her beau, who
ti ad come to town in an ivory white
nnlhr, a trim black suit and polished
hoes, .tnd who was going Home with
raudd> footwear, ft blue nn<i white
striped iverall suit that W' UliI g"
around linn twice, his straw h it pushed
up into a sugar loaf, and a fi.U< ol mud
und r one ear, then she'd swallow the
'.ears, aud laugh, such a uainty, link
ling, silvery lau^h, like the echo of
s.veet voiced htigle in the lulls, and
they would clasp hands and resume
heir hoim ward way. It almost made
us young again to watch them "

Judge Uray, of tbe U. b. 9upreuie
Court, who presided over tbe delibera
tions of the commission that settled
the anthracite coal strike laat year,
pays i'resident IliHJsevell the following
merited compliment:
"1 have no hesitation in sayiug that
the president ol the United States was
confronted iu October, W«, by the ex-
istence of • crisis more grave and more
threatening than any that lias -oenred
since the civil war 1 mean Ki^t the
cessation of mining in the antlracile
coal country, brought about by tbe dis-
pute between tbe minets and tbose
who controlled tbe greatest natural
mouopoly In this country, aud. per
haps, in tbe world, bad brought upon
more thau one--.a If of the American
people a condition o. -1 - ''■'•tioii nl
one ot the necessaries of life, and the
continuance of the dispute threatened
not only the comfort aud health, hut
the safety aud good order, of tbe na-
tion.
He was without legal or constitu-
tional power to interiere, but his po^i
tlon aa president of the United States
gave him au influence, a leadership as
llrst citizen of the republic that en-
abled him to appeal to tbe patriotism
aud good sense of the parties to the
controversy and to place upon them
the moral coercion of public opinion to
agree to an arbitrament of tbe strike
then existing and threatening conrn
quences so direful to their whole couu
try. lie acted promptly and courage
ously, ami in so doing averted the dao-
gere to which I have alluded
"So lar from Interfering or infring-
ing upon property rights, tbe presi
dent's action tended to conserve them
"I do n it think that any president
eV'r acted more wisely, courageously
or promptly in a national crisis. Mr
Roosevelt ileserveit unstinted praise
for what he did."
Kansas is a prohibition state in ot! er
respects than drinking ol intoxicating
liquors The legislature ol that en-
acted a law pioliibiting the eating of
snaki-B in public. So nauseating i« tin
thought of eating snakes that one can
scarcely m ik> hitn.<eli believe that u
11a would be uec« ssnry to pri-vent pub
II.' exhibitions of such a disgustin,
character. A year ago the state
overrun with snake eaters at fairs and
the public exhibitions. Al almost ev
erycarniva >r lair the siiaki* eater per
formed hie or ber part, for women did
It as well as men. Most of the snak'
eaters know of the law in Kausas
against Jieir occupation and have not
showed uo this year. A few who were
ignorant of it drifted iu to edify the
people. But they didn't stay long
Local authorities posted them on tbe
new law and gave them 8 brief period
in which to make their getaway. They
all went and took their snakes with
them, too.

As mat y of Hie readers of the Pe-
rnio r have read the Vldette's screed
against (iov. Ferguson aud do not read
the Watonga Kepublican, we publish
herewith the latter's reply to the
Vidette, even though in doing so we
invite the wrath of Mr. Thomas
against us. The Kepublican said:
"Some time ago, Thomas, of tbe
Pond Creek Vidette, and an attack ol
smartness. He suffers from these at-
tacks frequently. He arose iu the
power of his might like a conquering
h ro, to defend the rights of Urant
county which, a* he alleged, had been
trampled upon. He said that tirant
county was not on the political reser-
vation. Now Mr. Thomas was wrong.
(irant county Is known to everybody
familiar with her magnillcence to be
one of the very best in Oklahoma. Her
pe iple ure wideawake and progressive
— ome of the best people in the world
live in Grant county. One of tbe best
Territorial otHcials at Outhrie lives in
(irant county. Of course, tbe people
up there are not responsible for
Thomas. They openly deplore his In-
tense crankiness and constant kicking
but they can not help it and are not
held responsible for it. Mr. Thomas
became trisky in a recent article and
attacked the governor and made many
ejroneous statements about Blaine
county politics. This paper very meek-
ly called Mr. Thomas down on his wild
unfounded statements. Now then, the
erratic gentleman seems to thluk that
lie has been wronged and attacked
personally. Only his erratic actions
have been attacked. Nine tenths of
tbe Republicans of Grant county de-
nounce the course that Thomas has; visor. Let factions be blanked, as
taken In that county. They openly Deacon Admire would say
brand him a kicker, a disturber, a mis
chief maker and a bolter. The best
way for that gentleman to serve his
party and his country would be to
eliminate some of his seliishness, erad
icate some of nis self overestimated
is a large eectluu of couutry without a
semblance of government, not even a
territorial form.
iVouldn'. it b tunny to see Cleve-
land and Itryan riding in th« shoqi
c-irriage and speaking from tbe same
la;form y Yet stranger things have
happened. Politics, it is said, mske
\ fry strange bed fellows. Next year
we may expect to see the unexpected.
Prom Washington cornea the infor-!
mation that there is to be a thorough
investigation of the official conduct ot
offlceisln the Indian Territory The
actiug attorney general says, that, "Ev-1
very federal official under tbe depart-'
mem of justice in Indian Territory |
aud Oklahoma will be thoroughly in |
vestimated, aud every publication, ev-,
ery letter, every rumor having the re
inotest bearing will be sifted >o the
bottom. Wheu the Investigation is
complete no honest or straightforward
official of the depa tment will suffer.
Every dishonest man will beileull wlih
as his acts warrant."
The department of justice take- the
position that it has truttrd men full}
competent to bring out ail farts in
connection with the operations of em-
ployes In the Southwest. It hss a
force of skillid examiners who are
constantly engaged In examining the
accounts of marshals and court officers
and who are skilled in the ferreting out
of evidence. To one of these men the
acting attorney treneral has assigned
the task of investigating all officers
under suspicion. His name will not
be given, nor will the reaults of hi
k be made known, except where it
ccefHrv o lake notion. Th • im-
media' supervision o! the work will
will be und r Mr Oeorge W. Russell,
chief of the insular and te ntorial
bureau of the department. Th tie
part men will completely I .vestigate
officials ivho?- conduct has "een pub
icly brought, into question Tho*e
who are found to be l.ix or dishonest
will, alter the csee is Hilly ma le tip
against them, be given an opportunity
to tuake a defense. T'lia defense will
e weighed carefully by the officers ot
I he department. Action will th Q t.-
taken iu accordance w-th the ultimate
decision as to the dishonest;, or ltti
propriety of officials involved, if ills
missals are warrtnted they will be
made and reasons will he given direct
ly as t the occhmou for such action.
If positive malleasance in office is es-
tablished the ■ epartment. proposes t
proceed as it would with any other
case wln-rt a person itf placed tv-ynnj
the pale ■( the law.
It Is not pos-ible to prevent evil do
ing. Man is human and will is In all
times seek illgotten gain. It it also
proper to prosecute evil doers, and this
the department will do in a fair way
Honest men need not fear investigx
tion.

YOU DON'T KNOW
President J sines, of the Northwest-
ern uuiverslty, Chicago, has announc-
ed an Innovation in the method of
teaching mathematics. Abstract
methods are to be deferred to ndv-nc
ed courses aud uuly concrete methods
used. This is heralded as something
new and commended as a great im
nrovement. The writer used the con-
crete methods in teaching math-
ematics 35 years ago. But we wert-
then a teacher in a district sohool,
hence nothing was thought of it.
Wheu the faculty of a university
adopts h method it Is quite different.
It is a good one anyway; and we hope
it will become more general.
Just as well settle down to the faet
that Hon B. S. McUuire will be re-
nominated next year by acclamation;
also that Cash M.Cade, who has made
such an efficient chairman of the ter-
ritorial committee, will be elected by
tbe same unanimity national commit-
teeman. Just accept these facts aa
settled and deyote your time and tal-
ents to the upbuilding of tbe Repub-
lican party by giving Republican of
