SALTWATER, Ok, July Especial. j
Saltwater has made gigantic strides for
ward during the past few days. There Is
no town in the territory which Is now
making so much daily progress and has as
magnificent prospects as our own lovely
| Saltwater.
Payne county's new court house is now
| fully completed. 1t is fine frame struct-
ure two stories high, 40X60 feet in size, and
is beautifully finished. The lower floor is
occupied by officers rooms, while the court
room will occupy the entire upper floor.
1t is one of the finest rooms in the terri
| tory. Payne county is the only one that
possesses court house entirely her own,
and her citizens are proud of the fact. To
| the public spirit and enterprise of the peo-
pie of Saltwater is largely due the compile
tion OF this fine public building.
w. H. Campbell. w. H. Merton and
James NJ. Stovall, consisting the locating
board to select site for the Agricultural
and Mechanical college, were among US
during the latter portion of last week and
the first of this. A grand banquet was
rendered them Saturday night, and most
enjoyable time was had. Three sites in
the immediate vicinity Of the corporate
limits were rendered for the college, one of
$40 acres one of $50, and one of 40. Either
of these sites would be fine location for
the institution
The Board of Trade has made contract
with Van ScOyke & Witturn, practical

be erected at once, costing $4,000 1t VIII
be situated in the southwest part of town.
Ground will be broken for the building
next Monday, and work will be pushed
forward with all posi- bic speed. 1t IS
proposed to have it completed and in run
ming order within sixty days.
A grand, old-fashioned Fourth of July
celebration is in progress here today, and
our people are rejoicing over their pros
perity as well as indulging their patriot
ism. Three immense beeves were bar
becued for the hungry, and Robert Martin,
secretary of state, and other prominent
speakers are expected to address the null
titude. a grand ball is arranged for to-
night, dedicatory of the new court house.

Lots in the new College and Duncan
additions are selling rapidly ut good fig
ures, and there is quite a boom in real
estate all over town. These additions com
sists of 800 acres in all Considerable build
ing is being done, and great impetus
thereto is expected at once.
4 new brick kiln of 200, 900 brick will be
put into shape for burning Immediately.
Several large brick blocks will be con
structed by some of our leading business
men.
The Board of Trade is endeavoring to
secure site fer fair grounds and race
track, and have it put into shape for an
agricultural fair this fall. The production
of everything that can grow out of the
soil is enormous in Payne county, and our
farmers could make a wonderful display in
the way of pumpkin show.
The pext enterprise to which our peo-
Pile will direct their attention, is that of
securing railroad. If success, such as
has hitherto met their efforts, shall re-
ward them, the whistle of the locomotive

Now the Europeans employ elephants in
their armies in the East. The British
soldier elephants in India today, however,
are not fighters. They are workers; they
bear the baggage and drag the heavy
cannon.
Not long ago seventeen raw recruits"
were shipped from Rangoon to Madras.
Most of them were newly captured animals
purchased for the government Of India up
in the country of British Burmah. One by
one these huge animals were hoisted from
the wharf in a great sling and lowered into
the hold of the ship, as shown in the ac-
companying picture from Little Men and
Women, which gives its readers the inter
esting facts here quoted. The elephants
did not like going to sea in that way at all.
They struggled nightly. They roared.
They grabbed at the rigging with their
trunks as they were slung up in midair.
And then down in the hold they were so
furious that it was more difficult to get
them out of the sling than it had been to
uet them in

blood.

A Dutch jeweler at Cape Town bought
the stone from man on the verge of de-
lirium tremens. The trembling wretch re-
ceived 81, 900 for it and drank himself to
death. The ieweler, who sent the large
yellow stone to Amsterdam to be cut, was
robbed of the proceeds of the sale From
Amsterdam the jewel found its way into
the hands of a London jeweler. At the
time of Queen Victoria's jubilee her maids
of honor purchased it for $50, 900. Victoria
heard of the history of the stone and de-
clined to accept it as present. At her re-
quest it was sold for the benefit of a charity
hospital.
The stone then came into the possession
of rich American named r. S. Lawrence,
whose wife wore it on necklace. Law
renee got into financial difficulties, and the
now famous orange diamond was sold TO
Edward Bruce, formerly secretary of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad
Prior to his purchase of the stone Bruce
entered into partnership with Charles
Scale, diamond broker of Broadway,
New York. Bruce and Mrs. Scale, an at
tractive lady of thirty, fell in love with
each other. About a year ago they went to
Europe on the same vessel The partner

Scale (who was divorced) were married in
England. They returned to America q
few months ago by way of Canada, Mrs
Bruce having the orange diamond in her
possession. While they were in Montreal
the stone was sold to Joseph w. Carroll, a
photographer of Duane street. New York,
for s., 900, on condition that Mrs. Bruce
should retain three-quarter interest in it.
Mr.. Carroll was to dispose of the stone and
divide the proceeds pro rata with Mrs.
Bruce, who in the meantime went with her
husband to Seattle, Wash.
In some mysterious way the diamond
found temporary Judgment with Simpson,
the pawnbroker. Then Mr. Carroll took it
to Scale, the diamond broker and former
husband of Mrs, Bruce, to negotiate sale
When he called for it some time later the
unlucky gem was not forthcoming, and
Scale was arrested for purloining 1T. This
charge was proven groundlesS, and Mr.. j.
A Beall, counsel for Mr.. and Mrs. Bruce,
denounced the arrest of the jeweler as an
outrage. Beall had told Scale to retain
the diamond until it was claimed by Mrs.
Bruce.
While the question of ownership was in
contest the diamond was placed in charge
of the property clerk of the court. Moth

but he succeeded.
Now the fourth"
In vain the lad put forth all his strength.
He only made the leaves tremble; he could
not move the roots. They had gone strongly
into the earth, and no effort could dislodge
them.
Then the wise old man said to the ardent
youth:
''This, my son, is just what happens with
our passions. When they are young and
weak, one may, by a little watchfulness
over self and the help of little self denial,
easily tear them up; but if we let them cast
their roots deep into our souls, there is no
human power can uproot them. For this
reason, my child, watch well over the first
movements of your soul, and study, by acts
Of virtue, to keep your passions well in
check. "-Golden Days.

present a beautiful appearance, being
wooded to the summit; the soil is rich, the
climate warm and very moist, but owing
to the smallness of the islands and the
