most enthusiastic ever held in this city.
TIL main point to get at was, DO we
want any more railroads, or do we want
to sit idly by and see other towns in the
territory get them?" leaving Ell Reno, the
most prosperous of them all. the laughing
stock for towns that have not got halt
the capital or go-ahead business ability
that is here.

vored the extension of the Frisco from
Oklahoma City to this point, while there
was a good number who were in favor OF
doing everything possible to push along
the Oklahoma Central and Southwestern

Mongomerty county. Kansas.
Hon. A. c. Springs. vice president Of the
Oklahoma Central. was present and favor
ed the meeting with a brief outline of
what his road was doing and what 1t pro-
posed to do. He said. in part, that before
next September the road would be built
and trains running into Guthrie. If the
business men of FL Reno would get the
right sort of a hustle on them it would not
take long 20 extend It forty-ive mics into
this city.
Mr.. Springs little talk was wei received,
and it is about settled that the Oklahoma
Central will be one of the roads coming
into this city next fall.
The Eagie CORES pondent had a talk with
several OF the prominent business men,
and they said that with the right sort Of
an effort both roads mentioned can be
brought here. All that is needed IS push
and energy on the part of our people and

there is still a market il FL Reno. The
people out there have found out that they

The open field system Of cultiva-

1t was the primitive form Of agri-
culture, which was once widely
prevalent both in Europe and Asia,
and continues to exist locally on
both continents. Neither was the
organized village community

the English township was essen

and matured the first principles of

has had its day and served its end.

narrow chrysalis in which it was
enveloped, and those enthusiasts
who desire to confer larger powers

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dItion Of the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets
inAamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when It is closed
entirely deafness Is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube can be restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an

A Singular Man.

The Hon. Henry Cavendish was a
mathematician, astronomer, geolo-
gist, alchemist, recluse and-eccen-
trio. Mr.. Cavendish was intensely
shy. He had quite a diseased aver
sion to all and especially to female
society. The only way to get him to
speak was never to look at him.
Talk, as it were, into a vacancy, then
1t was not unlikely that he might be
set going. Nevertheless men were
a trouble to him and women an In
tolerable nuisance. We mention this
as an eccentricity, but there are
doubtless many men who share his
prejudice. He avoided communica-
ton with his female housekeeper by
depositing notes on the hall table.
A female servant he would never
see. If an unlucky maid showed her
self she was instantly dismissed. In
his villa at Capham he had second
staircase built so that he might pre-
vent the almost inevitable encounters
with the hated sex. To Mr.. Caven-
dish's town house in Cover street
few visitors were admitted. The
favored ones who crossed It's thresh-
old reported that books and the neo-
essary apparatus for a science stu
dent were it's chief furniture. TEN.

A Luminous Tree,

One of the most remarkable OF trecs
or shrubs grows near some springs
about IL miles north of Tuscarora
It Is six or seven feet high, with a
trunk which at its base Is three times
the size of an ordinary mans wrist
It has numberless branches and
twigs, and resembles somewhat the
barberry. Its truly wonderful char
acteristic is its luminosity, which is
80 great that on the darkest night it
can be plainly seen a mile away. A
person standing near could read the
finest print by it's light.
Its foliage is extremely rank, and
It's leaves resemble somewhat those
of tho aromatic bay tree in shape,
size and color. The luminous prop
erty is due to gummy substance,
which can be transferred to the hand
by rubbing and with the tranfer the
phosphorescent light, while that on
the leaf disappears. The luminosity
is thought to be due to parasitic
form. The Indians regard it with
superstition and will not come near
1t even in daytime. They give it q
name which means witch tree

English Wow Of Our Cooks.

The American is an admirable cook
in theory; in practice indeed he
may fail. The rush of modern ideas
is too great for him. The sewing ma
chine, the reaper and the corn ele-
vator take up too much time. The
application of electricity and steam
to the arts of peace and the ever pres
ent cares brought on him by the
working of the finest constitution In
the world distract him from his boil
ing and his baking. He has indeed
the same interesting reason for neg
lecting his clam chowder and his
baked pork and beans, that most in
genious and admirable of all Ameri.
can kitchen products, that our King
Alfred had for letting his hostess
cakes burn-immersion in the poll
itics of his country.
Nevertheless the native born Amer
lean has invented greatly. Clam
chowder itself, as mere work Of
art, reflects as much credit on his
nation as vol au vent q financiere
brings honor to France.-Black and

One Couple Made Miserable.

When through New York express on
tho Delaware Lackawanna and Western
railroad pulled into Binghamton the other
day, n party of young men and women
hustled into one of the cars with a young
couple who were going away. They stood
around and chartered all sorts of wishes
that the departing couple might have q
good time until the passengers made up
their minds that there had been wedding
and this was the bridal couple starting
out for the honeymoon journey. When the
conductor shouted "All aboardp' the
friends of the young couple ran for the
Car door and began to get off the train.
A young woman WINS the last to leave the
car. just as she reached the door she call
ed ont in tone of PLEASANT assurance:
you don't look a bit like a bride and
groom.
Then she fed. The other passengers
smiled, and the young couple looked ACUTE
ly, miserably self conscious. The girl
blushed clear around to the back of her
neck. and the young man stared out of the
window and drummed on the pane. For q
long time after the train started they had
not a WORD to say to each other.
Now, the joke Of 1t was they were not
bride and groom. At Scranton the young
mar got up, said goodby to the girl, took
bis gripsack and left the train. She came
on to New York alone and was met by a
smart young fellow, who called her by her
first name and took her away In u car
riage.-New York Sun.

If asked what further quality Is most
necessary and desirable for singer who
has acquired her art with fine PERFECTION
tho most tempting reply is versatility. "
1t is not enough that an artist shall be
able to sing perfectly one style or kind Of
song. The public demands an infinite va
riety, and she must be able, therefore, to
appeal to all tastes, to please all sorts and
conditions Of musical people. Unfortunate
ly, though. versatility is rare even among
artists, and far too infrequent among anna
tours. My plea Is that more of our Ameri-
can vocal students shall appreciate its val
ne, and approaching its Importance and
dosirability as part of the equipment of an
artistic singer shall endeavor to secure It,
1t Is unnecessary to say that before versa
tilty can be acquired the foundations Of
technique and a certain amount Of style
must be present The singer must know
how to sing, must have acquired correct
tone production and vocal technique. Then
will como the more specifically directed
