CINCINNATI POST
Believes That Oklahoma
Should He a State
Soon If Not Sooner.
That Great Paper (lives Oklaho-
ma A Great Send-Off In Her
Fight For Statehood.
The Cincinnati Post, comment-
ing on Oklahoma statehood, says:
Oklahoma want' to come in.
She would become a state and
the next congress will have toj
deal with her dem nds.
At the same time comes a cry 1
for statehood from New Mexico
and Arizona.
There never was a fairer land,
nor a country populated by more
vigorous and progressive citivens
than <)klahoma.
A-- good cotton i> raised as
there is in Texas, Oklahoma
wheat i-* as good as the grain of
Kansas. Her corn equals the
\. 'i■ • w Kt iiialsul Nebraska. Her
apples have all the juicy delicious-
ness of Ohio fruit. The soil is
fat and rich.
Population?
Yesterday a prairie. Tomor-
row a town. Next week a city.
There is nothing old in this de- ]
lightful territory except the kind-
ly sun, sufficient rains and the
soft breezes of summer.
It is peopled by men and wom-
en in the prime of life—all will-j
ing to work and proud of their>
adopted homes.
North Dakota joined the union
with 182,711 persons. South Da-
kota came in with 382,808, Idaho
with 84,385 and Wyoming with i
60,705.
Oklahoma has a population j
of over 400,000, the l'KH) census
indicating 398,245.
The people are there, and only
political log rolling can keep |
them from a place on the flag of I
the nation.
They are civilized and law abid- j
ing and there should be no ques- j
tion of a kindly welcome for the j

the north end of Manvel avenue
they turned the team up the rail-
road and followed to the high
trestle near the cemetery. At
the end of the trestle the team
got fastened in some manner and
stood there until the Kansas
Citv fast train came along The
engine struck the outtiit killing
one of the horses, and pitching
the other one, the wagon and the
men off down the hill. The far-
mers were so drunk that they
laid just where they fell until
found by A. J. Foster some hours
later. They escaped with a few
bruises and scratches.
Mr. Foster had started home
from the revival meeting at the
M. R. church carrying a lantern.
When walking he goes a part of
the way on the railroad. He dis-
covered the wagon track and
thinking surely some accident
had befallen the parties who were
driving along the railroad, fol-
lowed up until at the trestle he
fniin^ the men and like the good
Samaritan took care of them.
It seems that the train stopped
after the accident but went on
without finding the men.—Chand-
ler Tribune.

Moran Turned Loose.
The man, John Moran, who was
reported in last week's Advance
as being held on an insane charge
which had a tendency to develop
a murder mystery, was turned
loose by the county officials last
Friday. Instead of being insrne
his trouble apparently resulted
from an overdose of "bug-juice"
administered by the funnel route.
Moran was arrested at Glencoe
after several times making a cra-
zy talk about having been mixed i
up in a razor fight, and lodged in'
jail pending a more thorough in-
vestigation. For several days
his condition did not much im-
prove, but on Friday he was per-
fectly rational and gave an intel-j
ligent account of himself.
From his story it appears that!
he was discharged from the Iowa !
state penitentary about two
months ago after serving a term. ,
He worked his way south per'
freight train and other cheap!
modes of conveyance and finally
struck Shawnee. At that place,
he heard of the railroad grading
going on at Pawnee and deter-;
mined on going to that place in ;
search of work. So he cut across
the country north from Shawnee
sleeping out of doors aud endur-
in if the hardships incidental to
that means of travel. Previous
to his arrival at Glencoe he came
into possession of a little money
with which he proceeded to fill
up on the tangle-foot for sale at
that burg. He succeeded so ad-
mirably that his supposed crazy
spell was the result.
After being held a few days,
given a chance to warm up. sober
up and otherwise pull hinself to-
gether again he was apparently
all right, and the officers decided
to let him go, provided he would
hit the high places only on his
journey out of the county.—Still-
water Advance.
H. W. Seaman, president of the
Ozark & Cherokee railroad, has
filed a deed of trust to secure the
payment of the first mortgage
bondsof the railway to the amount
of 2 million dollars. The deed
of trust is dated October 1, 1901,
and the Illinois Trust company
of Chicago is named as trustee.
The road is bonded for $20,000
per mile, exclusive of switches
and is to extend from Fayette-
ville, Ark., westward through
Prarie Grove Ark., and the Cher-
okee nation, in the Indian terri-
tory, touching Tahlequah and
Fort Gibson, and crossing the
Arkansas river to Muskogee.
President Seaman stated that
work will begin at once, and in-
side of a year the road will be
running from Favetteville, Ark.,
to Guthrie, Okla.

For a number of months the
smart Alec boys have been jump-
ing on north bound trains at the
depot and riding to the Main
street crossing. As the distance
is about two blocks, the trains
get quite a move on themselves
by the time they reach the cross-
ing and the Transcript has been
stronply of the opinion that it
would be called upon, sooner or
later, to chronicle a firstclass trag-
edy. That time almost came on
Monday morning. Charlie Jul-
ian, porter at the Grand Cent-
ral, was the victim. Ashe went
to jump off his foot slipped, and
it is said the way he plowed up
the rock and dirt was a caution.
The rock cut a big gash in his
head, and otherwise badly bruis-
ec him. lie is still going around
with his head tied up and has
quit eqperimenting—for the pres-
ent.—Norman Transcript.
