ORLANDO OF OKLAHOMA.
A Beautiful City of the Great South
West.
Standing at the Door of the A. T. Si H.
F. Route It Opens Its Arms to the
World—Au Opportunity For
Homes Such as Was Never
Ottered Before Come
ami See.
]T IS nothing in mititation of any
other section of this territory to say
that the city of Orlando is one of the
most delightfully situated in tlio
territory of Oklahoma. It is really the
youngest city of the territory and as
the youngest Orlando has certainly ex-
hibited a spirit of progress, enterprise
and energy that is highly creditable to
its founder, W. H. ilepself, and to the
citizens who are now busily engaged in
forwarding her material interests.
The city is surrounded with the most
beautiful and enchanting scenery; is
built ou a commanding elevation; lies a
natural drainage that art need haye lit-
tle to do in perfecting; is strictly in the
rain belt, and has a soil, that, for frtiit-
fulness and fecundity, is excelled by no
other country on God's footstool.
The water sources of Orlando are of
the first class. It is only necessary to
say, however, in this connection, that
pure and wholesome water is found at
a depth of from 13 to IS feet, water that
is not excelled in any section of the
country.
This oity, today, has a population of
about TOO souls and numerous indus-
tries. It has grocery stores, feed and
grain, druggists, hotels and restaurants,
dry goods, blacksmiths, clothing and
a great variety of other industries, all
of which are doing a thriving business.
A number of towns are tributary to < >r-
lando and notably among they is Still-
water, Marshall, Sheridan, Yates, In-
galls, Cushing, Clayton, Windom,
Plumb, and Ransom, to which points
there is a daily stage line.
The city is located on the A. T. & S.
F. route and is just three-fourths of a
mile from the south line of the Cher-
okee strip and the very nearest point
to the famous Black Bear valley coun-
try which contains thousands of acres
of the very best land in the strip. As a
point of departure for the Btrip it is su-
perior to any other that can be se-
lected. When these new lands are
opened all of the vaHt trade that will
immediately spring into life there will
bend its steps for its supplies toward
this richly endowed city. About this
fact there are no pros and cons. It is
a fact fixed and inevitable and one that
jealous outsiders caunot controvert.
The men who will be doing business in
Orlando at and after the time of the
opening will be very fortunate indeed.
Every class of trade will be on top and
every conceivable variety of goods will
be in demand. Long before the open-
ing of the strip, which will take place
about the first of September, thousands
of people will be collected in Orlando
and thousands of dollars will necessar
ily go into the pockets of the business
men located there at that exciting and
auspicious time.
Now is the time if ever to bend your
steps toward this agricultural Golconda
of the great southwest. Now, is the
time, if ever, if you desiro great bar-
gains in land, in business or resident
lots, which may be purchased at a priee
that will commend itself to the pockets
of every interested investor It is the
opportunity of your lives. Beautiful
homes in a beautiful country will, after
the opening of the strip be rare to
see and hard to find by those who -vish
to found one at a price within the reach
of all but the pauper poor. To men
with some little money, equipped with
honesty, energy and enterprise, here
in Orlando, is the chance of a life time.
The settlers already here are all men
possessed of these attributes and are
ready to extend a hearty welcome to all
who possess similar virtues.
The Board of Trade of Orlando is
oomposed of pushing and progressive
men—men who do not wait for oppor-
tunities but make them—men who do
not dream of palaces in the air, but be-
lieve in building substancial homes on
earth—good, solid earth. Men who
reach out to force results; who are de-
termined to be first in the race, who
have ability and industry, the two
great ingredients of character that go
to make up a noble and prosperous
commonwealth.
Such arc the men who await the com-
ing of the new settlers and who stand
ready to give them a warm and hearty
weloome.
The energies of the board of trade
and the people of Orlando are now
turned to the erection of three fine
churches which will soon be ready and
will be buildiugs\)f architictural beauty.
Its school system is excellent, its prin-
cipal school building being, yerily, the
best, the largest and most costly in the
territory
This is the point, too, that has been
selected for the territorial penitentiary,
and other public buildings of consider-
able importance. We cannot pass this
point without saying that this is one of
the cities of Oklahoma that lias uo
itebt whatever on its shoulders. Ill a
word, Oriaudotttl natural trade center
being a freight, mail and passenger
distributing point for the principal
sections of the territory.
As a business place it is secoud to
none in the great southwest.
It is the duty of every man seeking
a home to come to Orlando; here he
will And his highest aspirations in that
direction gratified and a country sur-
rounding him unsurpassed for beauty
anywhere else on the globe. It is sur-
rounded by a glorious anil well settled
farming country and has all and every
attributes to make the city a leading
one iu the west. Anyone desiring in-
formation may write to Robert Oder,
president of the board of trade or W.

tory.
GREEN & 8TRANH
They Will Practice Law ut (lutlirl. , Oklit -
houtft.
I From the Topekti Daily Capital.]
The above Arm which has opened an
office at Guthrie, Oklahoma territory,
for the practicc of law, is composed of
well known Kansas lawyers. Judge
Green, who seems to be accorded the
position of head of the firm, practiced
his pro^ssion for many yoars at Man-
hattan, this state, where he earned the
reputation as being one of the ablest,
most careful aud conscientious lewyers
in the state. For many years he was
the trusted attorney of the Kansas
State Agricultural college and the First
National bank of Manhattan. During
his residence in the state he rep-
resented his county and senatorial dis-
trict iu both branches of the legislature,
where he ranked as ft very able and up-
right legislator.
March 1, 1890. he was appointed one
of the supreme court commissioners of
this state, which position he held for
three years, aud until the expiration of
the statute creating the otlice. As a
member of the supreme court, Judge
Green enjoyed the confidence of his as-
sociates on that bench, aud of the bar
of the state as an able, upright and la-
borious officer. Judge Green is a Mason
of high standing. having filled
many prominent positions in that order.
Judge Strang, the other member of
the firm, is perhaps more generally
kuown in the state than his associate,
though his residence in the state was
not so long by a number of years.
Strang came to Kansas from .Pennsyl-
vania. where he held the office of dis-
trict attorney for three years before
coming west. Almost from the day of
his landing in Lamed, where he re-
sided while in the state, ho was promi-
nent in his profession, and has ever
since ranked as one of the ablest law-
yers in the state. He, also, promptly
became a leader in all the political
movements in southwestern Kansas,
and for years has ranked as one of the
political leaders of the state. Ho is
a good organizer, and as we said of him
in 1890 on the occasion of his retiring
from the district bench, "lie has led
the Pawnees to many a gallant victory
in district and state conventions and
subsequent campaigns." He served
Pawnee county as prosecuting attorney
in 1888-9, and the old Thirty-seventh
senatorial district during the session of
1881. As a member of the senate he dis-
tinguished himself in debate upon con-
stitutional and other questions. Me was
an industrious legislator and enjoyed
the confidence of his associates in an
eminent desrree. At the cloee of the
session in which he served, he was ap-
pointed judge of the Sixteenth judicial
district of the state, which position ho
held for nearly nine years, having been
twice elected by the . better element of
both parties. A few days after his re-
fusal to again be a candidate for district
judge, ho was appointed supreme court
commissioner ami entered upon his du-
ties at the same time his associate,
Judge Green, did and remained the
same length of time a member of that
court, whore he was regarded as an
able, upright and industrious officer.
During all his judicial career he had
the reputation of being an absolutely
impartial judge.
Judge Strang is a positive man, with
opinions of his own, and ho is ever
ready to maintain them. During re-
cent political campaigns lie has ranked
as «>ne of the ablest political speakers
in Kansas, and especially during the
last campaign, in which his speeches
upon the silver and other financial
questions earned him a reputation in
which the whole state takes pride.
The people of Kansas, without re-
gard to political differences, regret that
these gentlemen have concluded to cast
fortunes beyond the confines of the
state. To the people of Oklahoma ami
the Iudian country wo commend this
firm of lawyers, as able, energetic and
strictly honorable. Business entrusted
to their care will receive the prompt and
careful attention of one of the ablest,
if not the ablest firm in all that coun-
try. And what is equally important to
litigants and business men generally,
an honest account of their trust will bo
rendered their clients.

The Remains ot Dr. L
.Buried.
R Ketchum
A Large Number of Friends and
the Knights of Pythias At-
tend the Funeral
FOR four long days and nights tlio
remains of Dr. L. R. Ketchum,
one of Guthrie's most respected
citizens, had been kept in this city
under the care of tlio Knights of Py-
thias lodge No. 2, awaiting the arrival
of his beloved wife and son from Cal
ifornia.
Yesterday at 1:10 Mrs. Ketchum and
son Grover arrived on tlio south bound
train after a tedious and tiresome jour-
ney of over 13,000 miles.
The funeral services were held in the
lodge room, where the Rev. Wimberly,
a brother Knight, delivered a
touching address. Many a strong
mau found it impossible to stop the
slightest tear from trickling down the
cheek as tlio divine referred so elo-
quently and feelingly as to the man's
life on earth.
Some friends rendered some excel-
lent vocal music after which the pro-
cession was formed, headed by the
Guthrie Board of Trade baud and then
the silent march to slow aud solemn
music was made through the princi-
pal streets leading to the cemetry.
There, at the cemetry, the burial
ceremony familiar to Knights was read
by Brother Wimberly and all that re-
mained of the once familiar and genial
Doctor Ketchum was lowered into tlio
grave
The Hand Concert.
The concert by the band last night,
owing to the small audience, was elim-
inated of several interesting features,
but was still quite satisfactory to those
who were present. The lady whistler,
as we remarked yesterday, was charm -
ing, and the singing of Mrs. Ramsey
was delightfully artistic and her rend-
ering of the negro melody Swatiee
river was very effective. Miss Fitzger-
ald proved herself for a second time, a
pronounced artist and possessed of a
voice of rare power and culture. It is
to be hoped that these ladies will ap-
pear often to charm the people.
MUTATIONAL ENTERPRISE.
vn Auxiliary Institution to lt« \<l«lt <l to
tlic? College at KUiiioihI,
An important movement in the way
of building is taking place, or in pro
cess of taking place, iu this territory
that will redound to the credit of Gov-
ernor Renfrow's administration, and
the push aud enterprise of Oklahoma.
Information comes to The News from
E. F. Mitchell of Edmond, a regent of
the territory, that advertising for bids
will soon begin for the building of a
magnificent educational institution at
that place which will be a magnificent
auxiliary to the present structure for
educational purposes. Regent Mitchell
has always been a strong advocate for
this enterprise and the territorial ad-
ministration strongly favors every-
thing that will conduce to our educa-
tional advantage. The new school
building will cost about #14,000: the
best material will bo put into it; its go-
ing up will bo supervised by a compe-
tent architect, and the very best of
skilled labor will be employed iu its
canstruetion. When this building is
completed one of tlio noblest structures
in the territory will add to tho beauty
of a city that is already rapidly becom-
ing one of the handsomest in Okla-
homa.

KNOWLEDGE
Brings comfort and improvement and
j tends to personal enjoyment when
j rightly used. The many, who live bet-
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world's best products te
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas-
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax-
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It lias given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid-
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak-
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug-
gists in 50e and $1 bottles, but it is man-
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed,, you will not
accept any substitute if ottered.
