CUR OKLAHOMA FOLKS.

The REGISTER has deferred allusion
to the departure of our lola contribu-
lions to the Oklahoma colonies until
something definite concerning their
fortunes in the promised land might
be stated, and so that those who were
not satisfied might have time to slip
quietly back without anyone having
found out that they ever went away.
Even at this date it is difficult to give
an exact report, owing to the confusion
that has existed. 1t eeems, however,
that those who went from here to
Guthrie, met with rather Indifferent
success. The only one we can hear of
who has certainly secured a town lot
r there is Mr.. Sampsel who seems to be
well located. DR.. J. W. Scott alec
secured fair location but the final
survey may land him in the street.
Provided he secures his lot ne and his
gen, w. A, will establish a branch
drug store there which will be con-
Quoted by the latter.
At Oklahoma City the stu alton
seems to be much better. Sheriff
Britton came up from there the first
of the week and he reports that lola
people have secured fourteen lots on
Main street besides number Of resi-
dence lots. The list of those who own
this property is as follows: Oscar
Foust, John Foust, r. II. Knight,
Harry Sleeper, Walt. and Ed. McNiel,
Frank Smith, Henry Weigley;,G George
Shelter, Misses Kate and May Ellis
and A. c. and w. w. Scott. Most of
these are only there temporarily and
will probably return to lola as soon as
they can safely leave their Oklahoma
property, or dispose Of it to advantage.
Some of them will go into business
there however, and expect to make it
their future home, among these being
A. G. and W. w. Scott who have Sc
cured an admirable location and will
begin the publication Of the Oklahoma
Times as soon as their material ar
rives.
Speaking of these gentlemen only AZ
citizens and eliminating all personal
sentiments SO far as possible, the REG
lister may be permitted to express
the deep regret which We are sure is
felt by nearly all our people at their
departure from lola. A. G. Scott will
be especially missed by reason of the
prominent and always welcome part
he has SO long taken in the social and
musical life Of the town, while w. w.
Scott and bis wife, although they had
made this their home but Compare
lively short time, had won many
attached friends. They deemed it
best. however, for business reasons, to
make the venture and the REGISTER
Ice. tainly rejoices that it promises now
to turn out well aDd even brilliantly
Theirs is the only paper yet on the
ground and it can hardly fail to be-
cone great property.
On the whole Oklahoma seems to
hsye done pretty well by lola people.
we certainly hope it will make them
all rich-for then lola is sure to get
Them back again, 70 enjoy their life.

earn something for the state, and ct the
same time learn how to earn an honest
living; while those in the highest grade
are to be SO employed, primarily, as to
prepare them for citizenship.
The resumption of the use of machinery
in all except the lowest grade is an uneX-
pected reaction against the labor reform
ers who have insisted that machinery
shall not be used
The new experiment viii be watched
with the greatest interest all over the
country, for no other state has taken
steps so advanced as those which this law
requires, not only upon the convict labor
question, but also in other directions,
such as providing for indeterminate
sentences and power to release upon
parole for some offenders, and for allow
ing prisoner part of his earnings. If
the law works well in New York, other
states viii doubtless follow.

Every town Is squared before a circus
goes into it. A man goes ahead all the
time doing this. l once squared Bqee
lington, Iowa, for $500, which was dead
cheap, for we were there two DAYS and
took away lots of money. But, you
see, the officials were cheap. l bought
the mayor. the city attorney, the sheriff
and the chief of police for $50 apiece.
Those officials must be Squared in
every town, and sometimes some others.
Then, you see, if one OF the short change
workers gets into such trouble as the
circus people can t help him out of, and
he is arrested, he IS either discharged or
given light fine, or released on straw

MARSHALL ON TOP.
The General Offices Of the Texas and Pacific
to be Taken Back to that Town.

The General Offices Of the Texas and Pacific
to be Taken Back to that Town.
Special to the Gazette.
Grant, general manager of the Texas and
Pacific railway company, arrived in this
city last night. By agreement an infor-
NAL meeting of many prominent business
men was held in the parlorS of Bachelor
League at 10 O'Clock this morning Mr.
Grant stated he was authorized TO say TO
the people of Marshall that the matter of
returning the general Offices to Marshall
had been submitted to Mr.. Gould, and at
ter due consideration they had concluded
to return. The buildings formerly occu-
pied as general offices being now occupied
for hospital purposes would necessltate
the erection of a new hospital building.
Until this was done the Offices would re-
main III Dallas. Dr.. B. f. Eads,
the compauy's chief surgeon, Is in
structed to select a suitable site for
the hospital which the citizens have gen.
erously agreed to pay for and donate to
the company. This will be done at once .,
and just as soon as the hospital faciliti es
be furnished and the present building va
Gated the headquarters of this grand road
will find a home in Marshall. Mr.. Grant
assures that in the near future large COM
modious brick buildings for general
office purposes will be erected. AS they
are coming to stay for all future time
this will be necessary This move on the
part of the company virtually ends all
pending suits of Marshall VS.. the Texas
and Pacific railway company. Attorney
General Hogg has been advised by wire
TO withhold any and all further action
against the company as all matters in
difference had been satisfactorily and
amicably adjusted. The best of feeling
prevailed at the meeting, and all went
away rejoicing that this vexatious ques-
ton has at last been so happily termin-

AN ANCIENT FAIRY STORY.
Why Some People Want It to Appear that
the Alton Road il to be Sold.

Why Some People Want It to Appear that
the Alton Road is to be sold.
Most eff the cock-and bull stories that
are now being published concerning the
prospective railroad trusts, impossible
combinations and deals and the absorption
OF this and that road are launched in the
interest of stock-jobbing schemes, and
generally unworthy of notice. The rumor
of the alleged purchase of the Chicago
and Alton by the Missouri Pacific or
syndicate Of capitalists has been exploded
several times lately, but it keeps bobbing
up in badly disfguTed condition, only
to be knocked down again. President
Blackstone is in Europe enjoying his
summer vacation, Nice-President Ne
Mullin is at the seaside with his family,
and in their absence the sensation m0u-
gers are amusing themselves by selling
out the road and fixing up the south
western freight situation to suit them
selves. Vice President MoMulln denies
the story when it is brought to his atten-
ton in New York, and General Manager
Chappeil laughs at it as a silly fabrica-
ton from beginning to end.
''TheY want to make it appear, I sup
pose, - said Mr.. Chappell, referring TO
the circulatOTs Of the rumOr, that the
troubles of the interstate commerce rail-
way association are to be removed; that
the members of the association intend to
buy the Alton, so as to control it and
prevent it from creating any disturbance.
1t Is III all probability a scheme to enable
the st. Paul to float its new bonds. -

A Locomotives PIaintive Cry and How 1t
Affected the Helpless Engineer.
A railroad Toundhouse was in flames
Fire had leaped, apparently in a self
born demon, out Of the waste box, and
before hand could be found with the
skill to "pull out its waiting locomo-
tives, some of them with boilers full of
water and low fires, it was too late. For
it was small rouDdhouse in a small
town, and lone Waterman had been
left to care for it, and it was nigh mid
night His loud call summoned a con-
course of citizens IN breathless
haste, but all they could do
was to stand still and see the great
sheet of fire from the pitched roof and
how the inflammable materials inside
made every locomotive stall a caldron Of
fire, and all the windows glared all the
doors poured out smoke, and roar, and
long flames. There stood the steam
giants plainly visible vibrating in the In
tense heat, unapproachable as though set
in the Internal regions. Still it was a
fire where the element of human danger
was ali missing. Suddenly, long and
dolorous one Of these engines began TO
sound the danger signal. Heat
within and without made its boiler
shake with the leap of ffercelE
boiling water. A bit Of falling iron bent
and pulled downward the lever, moving
iks escape valve so it could and did sound
ceaselessly. Loud, thrilling, it was a
note Of terror. It awed every hearer.
Listen, some day, thoughtfully, to the
danger signal of a locomotive Even in
the broad and peaceful day it is the keen
est and strongest, the most terrible sound
that man has invented. It reaches the
dull intelligence of slowest beasts as 4
warning. The solemn power, then, of
this cry, apparently raised by the
Will Of the engine itself, III the midst of
its torture, and indesoribable. 1t was
hard not TO feel that it was sentlent
thing pleading for help. 1t pealed on
an urgent monotone, the tremulous voice
of senseless force. One man heard il +,
distressed by # beyond telling, He was
its engineer. The engine he loved with
the peculiar attachment these men
have for the thing OF power they
control seemed TO be crying TO
him voluntarily with the appeal
his hand had often evolved from 1t.
He waited TO plunge in To its rescue.

pathos, evolved wholly from material
things by chance, and costing not pang

at the Paris ExpOsition-An Interesting Ex-
hibit.
One of the novel and interesting eXhib-
its at the Paris exposition is a model of
the earth accurately made to scale of
one millimeter TO the kilometer, or the
one millionth part of Its natural size. 1t
is q sphere u 1872 M, or nearly forty two
feet in diameter, having painted on its
surface all the details of the earth IS sur
face. This globe is built up on a skeleton
of wrought iron with the outside sur
face covered with wood, to which are
affixed the cardboard panels covered with
hard varnlsh. This great work was con-
ceived ana elaborated by NJ. TIL. Willard
and NJ. Oh. Cotard, and 1t was carried
out by NJ. T. Seyrig (engineer) and M.
Albert TiSsandier (architeCD A twelve
sided iron aud glass structure with dome
covers the globe; in this building an ele-
vator lifts the, visitor TO platform near
the top, and from this point he descends
by a spiral gallery of almost impercepti-
bic slope, which reaches the ground
after a great many turns. Though the
globe weighs nearly thirteen tons, it can
be easily rotated by haud-wheu.
The surface is so great (525 square
feetl that very considerable detail can be
shown, and large cities, like Paris, even
show few of the main thorou@hfares.
AS an educational feature it is especially
useful in permitting the eye to more ac-
curately estimate the relative position
and size of seas and continents than is
possible with any plane-surface map.
An exceedingly interesting series of sta
tistical and geographical information is
also painted on the panels in the shape Of
the population OF continents, cities, etc;
sections of the eaTth'S crust: the COM
parative heights Of mountains, lengths
of rivers, railways, telegraph lines, etc.
In the matter Of kilograms received
per 100 of inhabitants, it seems that
Australia comes first (250 per 1909, and
Belgium and Switzerland next. with 100
per 100. The United States comes in
so, Great Britain with so, and Germany
ends the list with 40.

HOUSTON, TEX, July 22.-The first

the cotton exchange, George w. Kidd,
on the floor of the exchange. After
lively bidding IT was knocked down to
