QUIET
Private Picnic Parties Enjoyed Citi-
zens f avsr Celebration mil
Year
"It was the quitest day Chiekasha
has seen in ten years" said Eev. Ben-
nett in commenting on the Fourth.
"No other sentence could she up the
situation more -correctly. The day
was quiet. The trains out of the eity
were loadal to the brim with visitors
for several other places where celebra-
tions on a large scale were on. Sev-
eal parties went out in the country
and took picnic dinners and suppers.
Along the Washita river several par-
ties gathered to tpend the day in the
shadl. Lucile lake east of the city
was the objective point of two or three
parties and all report having a happy
lime.
'sr.. .
CH' of Police Miller reports that
but two arrests were made yester
day and last night. The officers were
expecting some disorder when the
trains returned from Oklahoma City
and Aanailarko but there was none.
Frequently during the day could be
heard the banjj of the fire cracker and
as night drew on the noise increased
until about eight o'clock there was a
Constant cannonade. Roman candies
and skyrockets were to be seen on ev-
ery street corner. The heavens were
alive with the most beautiful displays
of fire works. No accidents of any
sort have been reported.
This morning discussions were gen
?ral as to the best way of celebrating
the day. Comments were frequently
made that Chiekasha is the loser of
fruH'Hs of dollar on account of hav
ing no celebration. "We are about
f ive thousand dollars to the had" said
1m Cloud. "If we had had a la ge
tt!i'n.it on we would have saved two
j thousand dollars that was spent out
I of the city besMcs the money that
would hsive been spent here by visitors."
"Had five hundred dollars been
spent here on arranging a celebration
we would have bad more money in the
city today" said C. M. Hollingsworth.
"That much money could have arrang-
ed for a good program and arranged
for special trains to have been run
from other points and the band boys
could have made $100 for their new
hall. We must not do this way any
more."
"Chiekasha could have beaten any
of the neighboring cities" said II. C.
McKay. ' "If we could have had a nice
erarden some place .where we could
have served refreshments and made
people enjoy themselves it would have
been a big advertisement for uhicK-
asha." '
If the present sentiment keeps up
July 4 1908 will be a big day in Chiek
asha.

Mom lay night opportunity will be
given the people of Chiekasha to hear
the most entertaining lecturer on the
American platform. The unique man-
ner in which he brought himself to
the attention of the public by fiddling
his wav into congress; the record he
made in the governor's chair by par
doning so many convicts; and his re-
cent successful campaign for the sen
ate against one of its most able mem
bers has made his name familiar m
every home. v
No man knows better than he how
to touch the tender chords of the hu-
man heart Upon them he plays his
sweetest songs bringing cheer to the
sad encouragement to the ambitious
and hope to the despondent.
This season will perhaps close his
career on the lecture platform as he
will be in his seat in the United States
senate another year until the summer
is far advanced. Season tickets will
be honorel for the admission and to
others the price will be fifty cents.

FIFTY THOUSHD DOLLAR
TO BUILD HIGH . SCHOOL
It is likely that the council will de-
cide at an early date to call a special
election to vote bonds to build the new
high school building. It is known that
with the recent raise of property val-
ues that the city will be able to float
a bond issue sufficient to erect and
equip the building. While all realize
that the new house cannot be complet-
ed in time to used any part of this
year it is known that it will be ab-
solutely to have it ready for the be
ginning of the term a year nence.
About fifty thousand dollars will
be expended to purchase the site and
to erect the building. It is estimated
t!.at the site will cost not less than
ten thousand dollars. It is urged that
as there will be some trouble in se
curing a suitable site that plans should
be made now to begin the work as it
will take about six months to finish
the building. Members of the school
board stated th!s moring that it was
up to the council to call the election.
IEW ENTERPRISE ASSURED
Messers O. B. Drake and Jack Sim-
mons of Wazahachie Tex. were in the
city today-and in conversation with a
representative of the Express gave
assurance of the opening of their new
marble yard about August 1. This
new enterprise will be located on 4th
street between Chiekasha and Kan
sas' avenues and their specialties will
be monumental and cut stone products.
Mr. Simmons has many friends in this
city who will unite With the Express
in bidding his new enterprise a cor-
dial welcome.

Aamiral Thompson ThiiAs tie Phili-
ppine Beat Object of tie War
Seattle Wash. July 4 A special
to the Post Intelligencer from X ir'.h.
Yakami Wash says:
: "Rear Admiral W. J. Thompson t.
S. N. retired who has arrived here
for a short stay predicts a war with
Japan within a few years.
Admiral Thompson says that war is
inevitable but he does not bcliev
that Great Britain will assist her' al
ly in such a struggle and thinks that
while the Philippines may be the real
object of the war in the end the re-
sources of the Unite! States must re-
suit in defeat for the Japanese. He
believes that in the event of hostili-
ties France would give financial aitt
to Japan."
The representation made by the Ja-
panese consul at San Francisco to the
municipal authorities of that city in
relation to the action of the latter in
refusing to renew licenses of Japanese
employment agencies has it is said
not been replied to. This affair ia
considered as being of far graver char
acter than the attacks upon Japanese
restaurants and imilar anti-Japnnes
incidents in San Francisco as i is
held that- it concerns the lasting per-
ssnal rights of Japan. The reply of
the San Francisco authorities to tha
Consul's representation is being await-
ed with considerable impatience. Pend
ing this reply no official action was
taken by the Tokio government.
