ing and operating that railroad and

A JOHNSTON COUNTY JOB.
Conversation Overheard by a Traveling
Man Relative to County Seats.
Some amusing things are happening
In the contests for county seats In dif-
ferent parts of the state utnl all UlndB
of tactics are being resorted to hy dif-
ferent towns and combinations of towns
to win tholr fights. A homier reporter
while coming up on Oho train from Ok-
lahoma City last night engaged In con
vendition with a well-known traveling
man. Among his observations In con-
tests In different counties he told of
a schomo In JohiiBton county a discus-
sion of whioti he chanced to overhear.
In a committee which appeared to rep
resent tho two lending contestants for
removal of tho county sent front It
present location. Ho happened to bo
stopping lu a hotel In one of Chose Ht-
tlo towns nml in an adjoining room
ho heard a full expose of tho pin us of
tho committee which seemed to consist
of roprosontntlves of the two towns
who wore owners of lots In or additions
to tholr ropoctlvo towns and the plnn
was for the parties from both towns
to divide the proceeds of the lot sales
In the successful town in the county
seat election tho manner of division
of proceeds was tilie principal loplo
under discussion; hut the amusing
thing In the discussion was teh glee
they seemed have In tie manner in
which they were working the country
voters (the cloiMioppers as they styled
Ibetu) ns well ato the voters ni n third
contestant which seemed to be a little
Inland town tney Imd gotten Into tho
raco for tho purpose of pulling votes
away from the town where the county
sont Is a present located. They seemed
to think that tltey were gulling tho
whole county jiutt. to promote their
own welfare lu their town let sales.
Governor Haskell Is said to be op-
posed to the combinations botwoen
towns in those contests Just to defeat
another town and it is hardly llekly
thai ho would be In sympathy wlbh
methods employed for tho promotion
of tho interests of town lot boomers.

Under tho .'nidlon. "sunulclon m-

critics relative to the Oklahoma On-
tral receivership The State Tribune
will say editorially this week:
One of the Oklahoma City news-
j papers parading as a friend of the
i people discloses occasionally that its
seep s clothing real! conceals a wolf
The Governor of Oklahoma has' never
vet: IveAtl nhln In ulnfiaa Hint nanar
: Its latest story iu that suspicion points
to the fact that the governor Is In
sympathy with the receivership of the
Oklahoma Central railroad. Why
waste time with suspicion Tho gov-
ernor frankly ndmlts Hint he has a
jvery earnest nod active interest In
(that receivership: so that hereafter
you can deal with open facts and
waste nb time on suspicion. They
haro evan gons to the extent of say-
ing that the financial embnrassment
of the Oklahoma Central railroad Is
dne bo the fact that th legislature hns
passed severe and stringent laws regu-
lating corporations. Let them tell us
wtiloh particular law It Is that em-
barnMed this railroad or any honest
corporation. It appears from the rec-
ords In th's case that the railroad
rijmjrany owes one hundred and forty
one tliottsnn.l dollars for mils nml
t fastenings twenty three thousand for
I fence wire and. olln t fencing materi-
al probably eighty thousand In pav-
j ro)s to lis men running back for six
I months or more and a multitude of
other claims aggregating thousands
and thousands f dollars nnd that the
j people to whom this money Is due are
I tired of waiting for It.
i In view of these facts tell us what
the legislature I'.is to do with tlte
I misfortunes of a railroad In tills
tlnanclal condition?
I The records also disclose that there
nre two ennpiinles the railroad com-
pnnyv and its construction conipan ;
I that they are practically the snme
i being under the direction of the same
officers and controlling spirits tr-u or
I three men dominating both coinivnle
i through the medium of dummy and
i disinterested offloera.
Why doo tho governor feel Inter-
ested I" till" receivership? Wo will
tell you frankly: Of course ng to tho
large clulnut llko the Illinois Stoei
compnuy for lu mils and others tho
gnvernpc would nay no attention to
tho c'riao hoonuse those largo earn-
pantos are amply able to littgnte nnd
collect their own claims; but from
end to end or this railroad at every
little way station there Is a laboring
I man a widow keeping a boarding
house or little crossroad merchant.
I who has beau laboring to build and
.operate the road boarding the ltibor-
ei's furnishing grhcertns to th labor

eighty thousand dollnreilof uhls bind

or more ot this cIkbs of our poor and
j needy cltUent claims averaging trow
a few dollars up to a few hundred dol-
i lars each. Out they need the money
I and are suffering for It.
I A great volume of letters from this
' class of people pleading: fw assistance

several mouths pay pai due that
their eredlt Is gone and they are ab

Is. from personal BWjualnUnco with

"It has surprised a great many mon

Tills to my mind Is of the highest

Why should It not bo undertaken? It

be still better accounted tor by the
