The first stop was at Kingfisher
where the train was switched off
onto the main line, theu came the
run to El Reno, the queen city of
the North Canadian, which was
mad<* at the rate of fifty-five miles
an hour, a big surprise for some
who have been in the habit of
traveling twenty-five or thirty
miles an hour.
Chickasha was the next stop
where an hour was spent in par-
taking of the most bountiful repast
ever set before a hungry mulli
tude. Everything that the mark
et could aflord was placed on the
tablea and the crowd told to go
ahead.
This feast was the gift of the
Mangum Commercial club and it
was given in the true southern
spirit. Nothing was left undone
at tbis banquet to make the crowd
feel that they were strangers in a
foreign land.
Thomas Jefferson Zook, the gen
tleman representative of the Chi-
cago Live Stock Commission com-
pany, was at the door of the vast
dining hall Cead-Mille falthe to
all those wishing to partake of the
good things Mangum
such a lavish band
After leaving Chickasha the ex
cur6ionists were then whirled
along up the valley of the Washita
over the Anardarko branch of the
Rock Island Anadarko, Moun-
tain View, Kiowa and Granite
were passed and Jim Kelly's town
Mangum was reached a little after
three o'clock in the afternoon.
On arriving at Mangum the ex
cureionists were met with over a
hundred carriages every one was
filled and in a short ppace of time
were taken on a voyage of discov
ery over the city.The way was raw
and cold around the edges, but
this did not deter the people from
taking advantages of seeing tbe
sights.

After the shades of night had
fallen tbe Commercial c!sb held
little seance to which a hundred or
more choice spirits were invited
Ghost stories were told, songs
sung and after an hour spent in
having a good time everybody re
tired to his downy couch with >
feeling in bis heart that the people
of Mangum were tne salt of the
earth.
The representatives of the State
Capital is under many obligations
to the flon. James Kelly, of the
C. S. Land Office of tbe hospit
able manner in which he dispen
sed his unstinted hospitality.
The banquet at Chickasha wac
gotten up by the dining scrvice of
tbe Rock Island one of the most
extensive and elaborate in tbe
United States. While the law
makers were banquetting a young
lady presided at tbe piano and dis
coursed most elegant and soul en
gave with trancing music.
To show that the people of Man
earn know how to make ready for
the receptions of a big crowd three
committees were appointed and
