Times Journal: A 4-year-old child, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William Stovall,
of the Chaddick neighborhoOd, was burned
to death Saturday at 4 p. M, her clothing
catching from prairie fire. Mr.. Richards,
a neighbor, was burning prairie, and the
child was looking on when her clothing
took fire, and before relief came her cloth
ing was entirely consumed, burning the
poor child's flesh in a horrible manner.

Guthrie Leader: Oklahoma, the newest
country in the United States, is attracting
great deal of attention, and an exhibit of
its products at the worlds fair will be a
practical demonstration of what Ameri-
can citizens can accomplish in three years
work subduing a wild country. Whether
the territory will be able to make a credit
able exhibit or not depends on the action
of the legislature. A bill has been intro
duced making an appropriation for this
purpose, to which there seems to be some
opposition. Why this should be so we
cannot understand. The little required to
make Oklahoma's exhibit could not be
spent for a better purpose. No such OPP
portunity will ever again come to adyer-
tise this country and it's numberless re.
sources. BY ali means give this enterprise
the assistance it deserves.
