STATEHOOD SURE
The State Capitol,Enid Eagle,Cash

ma have given up the idea of getting
statehood,but the situation at Wash-
ington is in fact unchanged.
The Omnibus bill is tacked on to tho appropriation bills good and
fast. W* nevor knew anything with appropriation attached to fail of
passage. Some comprise may b* scoeptctl by Senator Qnay bat the
Echo bets on statehood soon.

IN THE ORIENTAL
OPERA MIKADO
Immense Audience
Delighted Beyond Measure.
Dr. L. R. Riohardson, tho south
side dentist is receiving hearty
eongratulations, for the great suc-
cess he achieved in the presentation
of Mikado at the Opera house last
Thursday and Friday nights.
Mr. Riehardsous' skill as a musical
director was shown to be of a vary
high order.
Every member of his ohorus, as
well as those, who preformed the
leading parte, showed the result of
carefall an<i painstaking drill.
Those who have occupied seats in
the Opera house every time it has
been open, declare that this enter-
tainment has been rarely equaled
and ne ver excelled.
The writter was really surprised by
the exceptionally high order ef the
preformancfl.
If Dr. Richardson ever advertises
aaother play in this eity, seats will
eommand a preimum.
Fraak Letson played the part of
Ko-Ko or Lord High Executioner
with splendid effeot. as attested
by the frequent tokens of approval
which he called forth from the
audience, this was in oar judgs
ment tho most diffiaalt part olthe
cast. Mr.Letson measu.red up to
all ef Its requirements.
Mr. Trunsr Funk as Lord High
Everything clsa represented
official dignity with every gsstare
and received every bribe offered
with the skill of. a veteran politician
or United States senatos, from
Indianla, or Wisconsin, Hie act-
ing was superb.
F.H. McClain as Heir Apporant
under disguise, represeated a con-
stant lover, (only fosnd among the
orientals.) He preformed tho kiss-
ing act with a zest and rellish that
indicated a keen eajorc:nnt of the
performance.
Mr. M. Whitloek looked indeed a
a Noble Lord and represented his
charaeter with pleasing effeat.
Mrs.Nellia Wilson as Yum-Yum
carried the leading female chaiac-
terwith distinguished ability, and
presented some very fine acting
whioh met universal approval.
Mrs. Edna Vreeland represented
an okl maid in love with Heir
Apperant. Her aoting wns ex-
ceptionally good from start to fin-
ish and the auditors wore delighted
with her manner of representing
this difficult character.
Mrs.Maud Corey, one of tho waids
of Ku-Ko was in excellent voice
and rendered her part in a fault-
less manner.
Miss Garnet Whitinghill
He appeared robed in the geor-
geous costume of the Japanese
ruler and acted his part aecording
to the nsnges and costmos of the
country over which he ruled as
an absolute despot.
The chorus of sohool girls, nobles,
guards, and eoolies, made a spec-
tacular exhibition of dazzling
splendor. The yonng folks compos-
ing this chorus did themselves
honor by their performance.

WORLDS' FAIR.
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature appropriating $50,000
in addition te the $20,000 appro
priated by tho last legislature for
the purpose of, erecting a building
and making an exhibit at St.Louts
The Echo is inelined to the
opinion that if it is judioiously
expended tho amoant is none te
large. .
The people of the east have an
erroneous idea of Oklahoma, its
people, aad the variety of its pro-
ducts.
This would b* nnimportant were it
not for the fact that Oklahoma is
ia its infancy. We need money
with which to developc our re-
sources. We need machine shops
faotories, and other large insti-
tutions required by an industrial
community.
The worlds' fair will afford an ex-
cellent opportunity to show in-
vestors what we have as well as
suggest, what we need, and what
offers profitable employment for
capital.
Our exhibit shonld be made in
daplicate. The exhibit we «an
make in the ^various departments
of the great exposition will be lost
to view, in the great wilderness of
the world's wonders. If we place a
daplicate of onr exhibit ia the
Oklahoma building and arrange
them in an artistic manner, the
very investors whoes attention we
desire to attraot will visit tha bnild
ing and get a bints eye view ol
Oklahoma prodaats, and they will
he amazed hy its variety aad spleo
dor. We know whereof we speak
we visited tho Centenial at Philla-
delphiu where Kansas and
Colorado made an exhibit'fn their
own building, which attracted
more attention than any dozen
other atateB.
If we oan have a daplicate exhibit
la the Oklahoma building the in-
vestment will retnrn a paying
dividend,otherwise the boilding Is
melesa.
flie people of Oklahoma do not
eare for a leafing place fitted up
with aieo sofas and setees. We

L. R. Richardson in addition to « t#k« in the
his duties as conductor took tha * * ' ,B 00—6 ®m*'
Kollof Mikafeof Japan.
Gentlemen we shall do no loafing
en that occasion. Give us a a first
class exhibit, but no loafing head-
qaarters. It takes money to aol-
lect material for a great exhibit.
If our cemmusoners are content
by sitting in their office and re.
questing produoers to bring in
the products for exhibition they
will make a very poor showing for
Oklahoma. Thoy mast employ
a dozen or more men who are ex-
perts in that business, to travel
and oollect what is wanted.
These men muat visit the fields,
orohards, and vineyurdsand be pre
pared to buy the best that grows.
They need not take any lanterns or
expert surveyors along to locate
state lines. The Oklahoma boun-
dry lines are very cxcentrie we will
allow. Aadif they shoald get
over into Michigan when thoy are
looking for apples it wouldnt' hart
the flavor of the fruit any.The men
employed should be exports, who
know where the host is grown and
oan recognize a good thing when
they see it. They should also
know how to paok, ship, and pre-
serve the exhibits.
