Chickasha, Okla., Sept. 21.—"1
have seen a lot of ''boomers' in
my time, but I have never seen a
boomer chicken until now/' said
Mike Crowley, vet ran Rock Is-
land engineer, as he alighted
from the cab of his engine in the
Chickasha yards. "Look under
there and you'll see the only
'boomer' chicken in the world. '
continued Crowley. ''That hird
has been riding with me all' the
way from Enid." Crowley point-
ed under the engine.
There in a crevice of the trucks
huddled a small battle scarred
rooster, of uncertain breed, be-
smeared with coal dust, but other-
wise apparently in perfect condi-
tion. Engineer Crowley explain-
ed that as lie was oiling his engine
in Enid on the southern trip 'lie
noticed the chicken perched 011 a
rod underneath the locomotive.
He did not molest the "hobo,"
but climbed down at El .Ken0 and
found the rooster secure as when
he had pulled out of Enid.
At Chickasha, the end of his
rnn, it took the concerted efforts
of three negroes, employes at the
roundhouse, to catch the "bum"
after the rooster had .been routed
from his perch beneath the en-
gine. "I'm going to take him
home and give him to my kid,"
said Crowley, "and T'm going to
name him 'Boomer.' "

A large crowd of spectators gath-
ered at the Brady Jewelry Store
Saturday evening to witness the
counting of the lenses which have
been in the Brady window during
the fair and for which Mr. Brady
offered prizes to those guessing liie
nearest correct number. Miss Fran-
cis hilluian and Nellie Sauttee
began counting the lenses at eight
o'clock and the large crowd waited
patiently to hear the. result The
judges completed tneir work in
about an hour and found that there
were 1215 lenses in the pile. Miss
t-aisy Durnill, 1184 S. tfickford
guessaed 1213 and won first prue of
U0; Miss Pearl Gateka, 149 N. El
i.eno street guessed 1212 and Miss
Dora Kiniiard 517 S. Miles guessed
1218, and as they were a tie for
second place, second and third mon-
ey was divided between tfcem, each
receiving $2.50. The onditions of
tiie contest were that no one under
IK years of age was allowed to make
a guess, but by some chance Miss
Mary Clark, ul 902 S. Barker, who
is but 16 years of age registered a
guess oi 1215 lenses the exact num.
bo, but she was disqualified under
ti e conditions of the contest. A ti -
tai of 2471 people visited tna store
m ins the Fair and registered their
ueases. There we:e visitors from
V'ahoma City, Ktort Worth, Tex.
Kansas City, Mo., ar.d Burlington
Iowa who registered guesses be-
sides a large number from the vari-
jus towns of Oklaho.ua. Few of
those who visited the store during
the fair nt-lized the complete eq_
nicnt of Mr. Braiy to examine
eyes and grind lenses. The contest
was a novel one and attracted con-
siderable attention.

Judge Carney held a short session

Unlike any other show ever pre-
sented. is Jones Bros ' and Wil-
son's Trained Wild Animal Show,
embracing the idea used by llag-
enback's Wonder /£oo this winter
in the Olympic at London, with
such wonderful success, combined
with a number of high class Euro-
pean Aerial, Acrobatic and Equ-
ine performances, staged under
canvas on t'he style of an Ameri-
can circus. Two rings, an elevat
ed stage, and a large steel arena
will be used for the presentation
of these performances.
The performances will run to
trained animal acts, both wild and
domestic, including Peter Taylor
and his $50,000 grrup of perform-
ing- lions. This is said to be th
largest and most sensational act
of its kind before the public to-
day.
Miss Mabelle i.nd her blue rib-
bon winning high school horses,
this daring horse woman has been
a prime favorite at the Circus
Shumann, in Berlin. Germany, the
past winter, and her horses are
marvels, both as to performances
and perfect specimens of horse
flesh.
No one needs feel sorry for the
poor little y-oung ones who grew
up never knowing what a clown
was like. Now adays the success-
ful Jones Bros.' and Wilson's fun
producer adapts his clowning
quite as much to the grownups as
to the youngsteis. The one, the
only, the inimitable clown that
used to be. a character of such im-
portance that his name was hear-
alded in lithographic splender, is
gone, hut a horde of just as clever
and more vigilant eut-iips have re-
placed him.
The funny clown of today must
'be a producer, an originator,
I quick to take advantage in bur-
lesque of events occupying public
'.attention, -prompt and ingenious
in ineffensivelv seixing upon id-
iosyncrasies .«f persons in the pfib-
I lie aye and alert in his own crea-
tions. Such are the fun produc-
ers with Jones Bros.' and Wil-
] son's Trained Wild Animal Cir-
i eus. —Adv,

The well known reputation of the
Gentrjj Shows Bliould be sufficient
to pack the streets of El Reno with
people from all sections of the coun.
try on circus day and as the show
itself is meritorious In every way
the seating capacity of the tents will
doubtless be taxed to capacity at
both the afternoon and night per-
formances.

The printing of the state Imllots
for the fall election was let this
morning by the Hoard of Affairs to
the Co-operative Printing Co., of
Guthrie for the sum of $1,571.41. The

submitted a joint bid. The bids
were as follows ;

The specifications called for 455,-
000. ballots, 70,000 sample ballots

bond of $10 000.00 f"r the faithful
performance. It was the concensus
of opinion of the bidders present
that the Co.Operative Co., the low
bidders, could not possibly print the
ballots at the figure as the stock

The Democrat had hoped to
publish the names of the winners
the Better Babies contest to-
day, and also the list of contest-
ants, 'but owing to the large num-
ber entered in the contest and
from the further fact that we
were unavoidably handicapped in
our linotype department today,
we were not able to publish the
results of the contest today, but
it will appear without fail in to-
morrow's issue.

oiled. The street slogan, "safety
first,'' he thought one to follow,
Mr Wilson believes the new cur-
rency law and organization will
serve as a vehicle for a more elas-
tic currency, credit and finance

He looks for it to render great
