Announcements.
We are authorized to announce the name of
W. H. Qoldsbury, of Bishop township as a can-
didate for the office of County Suiwrintondent.
subject to the action of the Republican county
convention.
Qur World’s Fair Trip.
Last week we promised to den
with the all important subject ol1
expenses to the Fair.
Almost every paper is publish-
ing rides for ttips to St. Louis cov-
ering ten i days to two months
mo^t and that is your first expense
to take in consideration.
From almost any point in Woods
oounty it will take one day and a
half .to reach St. Louis, so you
would eat four or five meals on the
way. You can fill a small sizec
' grip with enough eatables to last
you on the way and buy your cof-
fee or tea at the stopping places
along the route.
The most reasonable arrange-
ment for lodging and board that
we heard of was offered at the Ok-
lahoma colony.
This is an organization of Okla-
homa men who have a large num-
ber of tents erected just outside of
the Fair grounds where a gooc
clean bed can be had for twenty-
five to seventy-five cents and good
meals for twenty-five cents or a
meal ticket good for twenty-one
meals for four dollars.
Family parties can lease a’ tent
and do their own cooking by rent-
ing A gasoline or oil Btove. This
would enable them to prepare just
what they wanted and live even
more cheaply than in the regular
way. Bakery shops can be founc
in almost every block and we found
them very reasonable.
Another way that the same plan
could be followed, is to rent rooms
of a company that has leased every
available room in private houses
already furnished, and do your own
cooking as before suggested. If
you didn’t wish to cook, meals can
be had at down town restaurants
for fifteen cents on up as high as
you would wish to go.
Individuals Will try to convince
you that rooms cannot be had for
less than one dollar to a dollar and
a half but a little inquiry will find
you bourd and lodging at reason-
able rates.
To sum up the expense in an
itemized way, take the excursion
rates from this point at present for
a fifteen day round trip ticket.
Ticket $18.35
Admission fee, 50 cts. per
day, twelve days 6.00
Average price for bed per
day, twelve days at 50 cts. 6.00
Meals $1.00 per day,
twelve days 12.00
Street car fare 20 cts. per
day, twelve days 2.40
Souvenirs 2.00
Incidentals 3.25
Total $50.00
You can see at a liberal estimate,
anyone can do the Fair for fifty
dollars and see the greater part of
the biggest show ever seen on the
earth. With caution and studied
economy you can lessen this esti-
mate by ten or fifteen dollars and
enjoy yourself as well as if you were
a Wall street broker.
To any one that can oollect fifty
dollars together, we would say, be
sure and go, for it isn’t likely that
many of us now living, will get to
see such a mammoth reproduction
of as muny nations as are repre-
prove a great education that you
couldn’t possibly gain at so small
a cost. It will give you an alto-
gether different conception of the
world in general for here you will
see almost every nationality, their
characteristics and industries rep-
resented. To see them at any other
time would take years of travel
and a small fortune. This would
be impossible to the great majority
so go if you can.
SOME “PIKE” FEATURES.
To the one that must count his
pennies, the less he visits the
“Pike” the longer he can stay at
the Fair, but there are some foatueB
on that greatest panorama of na-
tionalities and scenes that are well
worth the admission fee, in fact
all are worth the entrance fee but
some are a repetition of scenes
that are shown in their respective
state buildings. For instance, The
Chinese Village, The Irish Village,
Mysterious Asia, Cairo, Constanti-
nople, The Streets of Neville and
Ancient Rome are more elaborate
representations of their respective
conntries and sufficient idea can be
gained from their state buildings.
The Galveston Flood that all
have heard and read about is shown
by moving pictures so real that it
doesn’t take a very great stretch of
imagination to make you feel as if
you were in the midst of the storm.
Hale’s Fire Fighters show a real
fire department responding to the
fire call, the extinguishing of fire
and saving of lives.
Creation, rs its name indicates,
is a representation of the formation
of the earth as given in the first
chapters of the Bible down to the
scene in the garden of Eden. It
is produced by the most gorgeous
scenery and is among the highest
priced concessions on the grounds.
Hereafter, is a trip to the lower
world and its probable horrors with
a glimpse of the Celestial Heavens
as the last soene.
In direct contrast to these soul
stirring scenes, is the Temple of
Mirth, where you will be so filled
with laughter that you will be in
good humor with yourself and
mankind again.
In the Glass Weaving Palace
may be seen workmen making
tablecloths, clothing and beautiful
souvenirs that are truly wonderful.
Beautiful Jim Key is an educated
horse that spells all kinds of words,
by placing card board letters iu a
rack. He will do all combinations
of addition, subtraction, multip'i-
cuti'on and division up to thirty
that is truly wonderful.
Hagenbeck’s Zoo, circus and
Animal Paradise is the greatest
collection of trained animals ever
brotight together. It is surely a
thrilling scene to witness the train-
er have some fifteen or more of the
most ferocious animals seated
about a table feeding them with
raw meat out of his hand and each
animal taking his portion as quiet-
ly as would a well trained dog.
These feuture mentioned are
some of the most important und
worth the price.
We will take up more of the
free exhibits in our future acticles.
Many visitors to this vicinity
make note of the almost total fail-
ure of wheat and remark that times
will be hard at least a year, but to
those fully acquainted with the sit-
uation no such idea prevails. In
fact, the shortage in the wheat crop
will no doubt prove a blessing in
disguise for really too much of the
farming land had been put to wheat
and the matter of raising feed al-
most lost sight of. Now choice
pieces of ground have been pre-
pared and put into alfalfa, a crop
that gives greater returns than any
wheat crop. Kaffir corn and cane,
have been planted in ubundanoe so
that stock will be brought through
another winter in better condition.
Much of the wheat ground has been
put into broom corn, and to prop-
erly harvest this crop will take
more hands at better wages than a
wheat crop, so money will be plen-
tiful and times better than whore
wheat lias been left which yielded
only half a crop. This section lias
never had an over supply of corn and
in ten short years a most wonderful
development has taken place fully
demonstrating that we have, passed
the experimental stage and while
one crop is lost the season is long
enough and soil fertile enough to
raise other paying or ji Keep up
your faith in Oklahoma and all
will end well for what she has done
she can do again with even greater
returns.
Bank Statement
REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF1
THE BANK OF FAIRVIEW
Recently a Representative from
Iowa called upon the President to
induce him to promote one Colonel i
Dinwiddle, a native of that state,
from being a colonel in the Signal
Corps to the grade of Brigadier
General. The President listened
to the arguments with an unusual
sense of amusement. It wasn’t
even hinted that Dinwiddle had
ever smelt power, or been under
arms, or done anything else entitl-
ing him to a promotion. “Iowa
has never had a brigadier general,”
was the plea, “and she wants one
awfully bad.” The President re-
plied that promotions in the army
do not go by States.

The great and preplexing ques-
tion among Democrats is how they
can muzzle Wm. J. Bryan. The
newspapers have been killing him
off for many months, and saying
all sorts of funny things about him,
nevertheless, at the critical mo-
ment, he pops up with the Nebras-
ka Democracy behind him and thd
same old platform in his pocket.
The proposition is how to smother
Bryan and his notions and yet
keep him and his faction to the
ticket and to the party. A happy
solution is wanted. Suppose all
the regular Democracy goes over
to the Bryan faction? Here’s
chance for a union.
A movement has started in
Akron, Ohio, which promises to
set the country wild. A hew or-
ganization has sprung up called
the “Young Crusaders.” The boys
belong to a Sunday school. Of
course, they wear khaki uniforms,
flourish swords, talk loud and live
out of doors under renl flapping
tents. Two of Senator Dick’s
offsprings belong to the band. Ex-
actly what the crusade is about
does not appear. Possibly it is a
crusade against using tobacco, te.ll-
ing lies, being lazy, and showing
disrespect to one’s parents. If so,
it should prosper.
It is amusing to hear the Dem
ocrats give out from their com
mitteo headquarters the opinion
that they expect to overturn the
Republican majority of twenty-four
in the House. There’ll be time
enough for that after they elect
Parker or Gorman, or Olney, or
McClellan, or Hearst, or whoever
else gets the nomination.
The country newspaper is read
from the date line to the patent
medicine ad. Many city papers
can be found, scarcely rumpled, on
the street car seats in the cities.
Ever see a town littered up with
country papers? No, they are all
worn out before the neighbors get
half through with them.—Western
Publisher.
Numerous thefts of valuable
works of art, gold nuggets, fine
porcelains, etc., have been made at
the St Louis exposition. This is
too bad, and if it continues will
give the management a bad name.
Perhaps a little more watching
would improve matters.
