WAS A PLEASANT SURPRISE
Hundreds Join the Mckinley Club Dowr
at Arkansas City.

A political surprise was perpetrat-
ed in Arkansas City Wednesday night.
A meeting was called with Hon. ]. ".
Beekman as speaker, under the auspi-
ces of the Mckinley club. Before the
time for the meeting the Mckinley
club of that city marched out in the
street with three hundred men in line,
headed by Mayor Cunningham, as cap
tain. The meeting proved to be one
of the largest in the history of Arkansas
City. Judge Beekman was at his best,
and hearers say that no better political
speech has ever been heard in the coun-
ty. The meeting was a surprise to
the Demo-Pon combination, and con-
WINGED them that Cowley county is still
loyal to the best interests of the people.

tiles af the bank amounted TO not quite

made upon the stockholders OF the bank.
OF this assessment s43. 900 was collected.
About $4,000 Of the Indebtedness has
been paid off. leaving about 81. 900 that
