THE Fourth OF July should be cele.
brated in the old fashioned style by
Guthrie this year A celebration such
rs the people used to have in the old
dsys-salute at sunrise, cslAthump-
ians, orator OF the day, sports, and a
big display OF fireworks at night-just
a reminder Of the old times when the
Fourth of July was celebrated by the
people and not individuals, would be
= drawing card. The Guthrie club
should take hold Of this matter at
once. Such celebration would be Of
incAleulAble benefit to Guthrie, aud il
would be a great treat to the people
who would like 10 ee .ebrAte The Fourth

tarv Of tho Territory.

1 aieial Biography OF the New seere-
tArv Of tho Territory.
W. M. Jenkins. tho new secretary ot
is q successful attorney of
Newkirk And though but little known
throughout the territory he stands
very high In the estimation OK the peo-
Pile Of that city and Kay county and
also Of Arkansas where he lived a
number OF years. Born on farm
near Alliance, stark county, Ohio,
April 2S, 1895, he attended
the district school and later Mt
Union college, walking daily the
three miles to college until he gradu'
ated at sixteen in the commercial
course.
On December 81, 1878, he was mar.
ried to Miss Della White at her fathers
country home near Richmond, Ind g,
and for three years they lived at Al
lance, moving IN 1851 TO Harlan, Iowa
where Mr.. Jenkins studied law in the
office of Hon. Platt Wicks and was ad.
mitted to the bar
In 1854 they moved to Arkansas City,
Kansas, arriving on the day of Grover
Cleveland's first election. Mr.. Jenkins
soon became leading member Of the
bar there and in 1883 was sent as one
of the delegates to the national con-
vention at Chicago How ne sat and
cast one solitary vote for William
Mckinley for president the fret ballot
to the last, refusing to change his vote
even at the personal protest OF Nc
Rinley himself, has become matter
Of history.
Early in 1892 Mr.. jenkins was sent
as an slloting agent to the Siletz In
dian agency n Oregan and is highly
commended by the commissioner of
Indian affairs for his efficient work.
He made the race iuto the Cherokee
strip at the opening in 1898 and settled
upon a beautiful claim near the town
OF Newkirk where he has since resided
with his family, consisting Of wife
and six children (iour boys and two
girls, the oldest son being the farmer
while the father practiced law IN
NewKirk. In 1894 Mr. Jenkins en
deared himself TO the people OF Kay
county by securing seed wheat fol
them to be repaid out Of the crop the
following season. Having been .
friend and great admirer OF Majo
Mckinley since boyhood Mr. Jenkinl
desired to go as an Oklahoma delegate
to the ST. Louis convention but wei
defeated by the Reed combination
He attended the convention, however
and acted as assistant sergeant =
arms. Soon after the election last fal
Mr. Jenkins was urged to be candi
date FOR governor by his friends ant
neigh bors but declined and decided
later TO ask for the secretAryship from
President Mckinley, his old tim
friend and neighbor. While never
politician, Mr. Jenkins has always oeei
an active, enthusiasts Republican
man Of retiring disposition and qnie
tastes he never pushes himself to tn
font but he is noted for the hiRhes
integrity, and he and has family ar
most highly esteemed by all will
whom they come ia contact.

SCHOOL AFFAIRS.

The annual school meeting should
be held at p. m. Thursday, July 20.
A clerk is to be elected in each dis
trict and in districts where vacancies
have occurred in the office of director
or treasurer they should be filled
by elections for one or two years re-
spectively.
The Teachers Normal Institute
will begin Monday, August 2. 1t will
be conducted by Prof. George E. Rose,
assisted by Prof. J. w. Thompson and
the county superintendent. All
teachers and advanced pupils are urg-
ed to attend. No effort will be spared
to make the months work both pleas
and profitable. Teachers of adjoining
counties are cordially invited to be
with us and the general public is re-
quested to visit the Normal as often
as convenient.
The High School petitions were not
presented to the Commissioners at
their last meeting for several reasons:
The exact number of voters in the
county is unknown as no enumeration
was returned last spring from the
township of Ogallah. From the best
obtainable statistics there appears to
be GA voters in the county. Under
these circumstances the petitions
should bear decided majority of sig
natures before attempting to estab-
lish the school. The actual plumber
of SignerS SO far secured is about 300,
but is not exactly known as some of
the petitions, bearing considerable
number of names, have not been re-
turned to me and, of course, could not
be presented.
The district board of Wa-keenev
appeared before the Board of Com
missioners and offered to provide a
room or rooms, :janitor and use of dis
trict library without cost to the coun-
ty so long as used for the purposes of
a County High school. The commits
SionerS adopted resolution favoring
a County High School upon the above
conditions, provided the expense to
the county shall not exceed ST. 200 for
the first year or 81, 500 in succeeding
years, and that the county shall pro-
vide but one teacher for the first year
and not more than two thereafter.
/ advise the friends of the measure
to continue the circulation of their
petitions. They will be presented
when a sufficient number of sigma
lures have been secured.
