PLANS TO STEAL
Oklahoma Election are'Being
Charged Against the Re-
publican Ring.
completTreturns
Show Cross to Have Bcbd Elected
by 1500 Majority With the
Legislature in Control of
the Democrats.
Street Commissioner Spen
cer Tendered His Resig-
nation to the City
Council.
Complete returns irom Oklaho
ma ehow Cross' election by 1500
majority.
The legislature will also be con
trolled by the democrats.
A dispatch from Guthrie charges
the republican ring with scheming
to falsify the returns. It says:
"A secret caucus is being held
here by the republican leaders for
the purpose of formulating a plan
to steal the election from Cross.
Notwithstanding that they are un-
ftble. by any process of computa
ticn using the figures given in the
complete returns to figure out a
majority for McGuire by from 1-
300 to 3-500 they are claiming Mc-
Guire 'a election by 1500. It Is
poaitively known that they pro-
pose to Bteal the election.and their
caucus is being held for this pur.
pose.
"It will be remembered that
the same trick was attempted when
Callahan was elected. Then their
plan was to have the Beveral coun-
ty clerts certify to the official re-
turns and give them to some one
to mail who would remove the en-
velope distort the figures as certi-
fied by the clerks and mail them
to the territorial board of election
commissioners.
What the plan is this time is
not known but that a steal of the
election will be attempted there is
no doubt."

The primary object of the city
couneil meeting held yeBterday
afternoon was to regulate the
movements of the sad eyed
"Moolies" which have been using
the city boulevards and every-
thing thereon for a pasture.
This peaceful duty with its pro-
mise of interesting stories of bo-
vine 'raids on unprotected corn
wagons etc. soon gave way to
sterner work when J. J. Spencer'
Street Commissioner of the Incor
porated Town of Vinita. entered
the council chamber with blood in
his optics and papers in his hands.
Tbe papers were passed to
Councilman Ratcliff to read but
be gracefully side stepped the
onorous taek and the street com
mieeioner assumed the communi
cation of his own stunt. It con
tained a brief report showing that
utreet taxes aeereeatinir. $393.50
have been collected and a lengthy
tirade against Mayor Parker.
The mayor was accused of fail
ing to give his support to the col-
lection of the etreet tax and in en
deavoring to eupplant the present
onmmiRRioner bv a man named
Funk. The communication endec
with the tendering ot Spencer's
resignation. A resolution was at
once offered by Councilman Fort-
urt exonerating tne mayor irom
tbe charges contained in the com
munication and in view of the un-
warranted attack that Mr. Spen
cer's. resignation be immediately
o.MintAri. The resolution was
- - r
adopted and the smoke Boon clear
ed away.
Three ordinances regulating
licensing of drays bowling alleys
pool rooms etc. and preventing
the running of cattle at large were
then passed.
The following accounts were al-
lowed: W. E. Halaell $25; E. R.
Crittenden $17.50; Financier Com-
pany 22.75; Turner Hardware
Co. $2; Edgar Smith $25; Leader
Printing Co. $22 50.
The Bond Buyer in which tne
bids for school bonds waa adver-
tised was allowed an amount not
to exceed $14. The successor of
J. J. Spencer aa street cotnmis-
siooer will probably be elected by
the council at the next meeting.
The Townsite Commission com-
menced tbe appraisemeut of lots
in tbe Phillips Addition this
morning. While no valuations
were placed on property this
morning the improvements as
scheduled were inspected by the
CommiHsion to nee that there was
no evasion of the law.
After verifying tbe improve
ments the commission will place
the valuations on the lots. lbe
appraisements will not be made
public until after they are ap-
proved by the Secretary of the In-
terior. '
A Magazine Thirty Years Old.
The Christmas (December) number
of Tbe Delineator Is also the thirtieth
anniversary number. To do Justice
to this number which for beauty and
utility touches the highest mark it
would be necessary to print the entire
list of contents; It Is sufficient to
state that in it the best modern writ-
era and artists are tfeoerously repre-
sented. The book contain over 230
pages with 34 full-page illustrations
of which 20 are lo two or more colors.
The magnitude of this December
number for which 728 tons ot paper
and six toos of iok have been used
may be understood from the fact that
91 presses running 11 hours a day have
been required to print it; the binding
alone ot the edition of 915000 copies
representing over 20000000 sections
which had to be gathered by human
hands.

Origin of the Katy Flyer.
Mr. W. G. Crush general passenger
and ticket agent of the M. K. & T.
railroad furnishes the following in
teresting Information in regard to
tbe origin of the Katy Flyer: The
Missouri. Kansas and Texas railway
years ago was leased and operated by
the Missouri Pacific and that part or
the line that today is the Missouri
Kansas and Texas was known to
them as the K. and T. division mean
ing the Kansas and Texas division.
As Is well known traioiueo Bwitch-
men and other railway employes ab
breviate everything and in handling
cars In the yards Instead of raying:
Put the K. and T. car No. 80964 on
8ideUck" they said "Put the K. T.
car" etc. "K. T." was not so easily
bum ii "Kar.v." conseauently tbe
road became known as the "Kat?
It being a short name and the road
being universally known among train
men as the 'Katy" we adopted it as
a trademark. The word "Katy" being
feminine we use our present "Katy
Girl" in connection with our adver
Msenients. In 18U3 durlog the World's
Fair at Chicago we put on our first
fast train from Texas points in con
nection with the Chicago Burlington
& Ouincy. Tbe train of course re
quired a name which was distinct and
could be advertised and it being
liver a very fast train it was called
tbe "Katy Flyer" aod this name ha
been in use ever since iu connection
with ou fast train.
