GAMBLERS GETTING 1T.

CrOD Money,

TOPEKA. July 1s.-(special) Thomas
England, of Renfrow, o. T., is here to-
day mingling with the politicians. He is
something of a Republican leader In Okla
homa, and he came up to get the latest
tips on the political situation, nationally.
He says that Oklahomans are all "plutes"
this year. I'VE have raised at least $1,000
600 bushels of wheat" said he, land will
produce the largest corn crop ever pro-
duced in the territory. Everybody has
money. But 1 am sorry to say many of
the farmers won't have it long. They are
already beginning to neglect their farms
and come to town to buck the tiger It
won't be long until they are as poor as
ever. Gamblers with all kinds of devices
are beginning to flock to the territory TO
work the people, and they are having
great success. The prosperous times down
our way have been poison to the Pops,
and the Republicans will carry the terri
tory next year by a larger majority than
they did last year."

his vouchers. Thereupon the official with
the parentbesis legs sent a left fielder over
to the law shop in the state house. The
!. f. returned with the advice that the law
permits no ellis on Swans and that only
homeopathic vouchers are valid and legal.
II was suggested TO the determined pill
dispenser that the heartless auditor, who
guards the entrance to the treasury as
Cerberus guarded the shores of the river
Styx, had acquired taste for homeopathic
pellets while campaigning down at From
tenac and Chicopee and would never audit
an allopathic voucher or anything that had
bitter taste.
The snap-shotters, the cartoonists, the
janitors, the engineers and the new state
house superintendent are all wondering
what the shifting scenes of another day
will disclose in the repertoire of this vener-
able vaudeville performance. 1t has been
suggested that the governor may call upon
the adjutant general or the Boyd cadets
to procure peace in the state house base
ment even if they have to fight for it;
and having procured it. to preserve it, even
at the peril of life and limb.
