was an ovation, applause from the be-
ginning assuming the volume of din.
The impassioned, graceful singing of Sig
Rosina; the full, round bass of Travaglini,
the spirited tenor of Russo, the clever
acting of Bergami and the mellow barry
tone of Vizzardelli threw the audience
into ecstacies. Through the evening the

A FAr1ILlAR CHARACTER.
Dick KiIgore, Unfortunate Race Horse
Man, is Dead.

If ever the Vinita fair gives an
other exhibition one familiar char
acter will be missed about the race
track and stables-Dick Kilgore,
whose death is reported elsewhere.
Some years ago KilgOre owned a
little sorrel horseback Bassett-
which he knew was a good one,
but somehow could never make
win a race. He held the horse at
a fabulous price but finally got
afraid of it, and traded it for a
span of horses, worth perhaps
S125. But while Bassett could &C
complish nothing in Kilgore's
hands a change came when the an
nimal passed to another and very
shortly afterwards it made a rec
ord at New Orleans and so far as
known has been winning races
ever since. There was nothing
the matter with poor Dicks horse
but the fellows the owner was
thrown in contact with around the
race course were 800 swift" for
him.

hundred millions of pigtails.
There we ran up against the black
and bubonic plague-they don't
pay any attention to smallpox or
seven-year itch. So far they have
not touched US, only our pocket
books. A globe trotter gets touch
ed right; spending this free silver
is like feeding a horse fodder; it
takes a lot to buy anything. Any
man that talks free silver is a fool
and don't know what it means.
We had an awful time getting from
Hong Kong here. The boat did
everything but turn over and we
all thought what fools we were to
leave home. But we have seen
many queer things; some OF the
animals these people work, Bar
nun ought to have in his circus.
[ have seen a COW worked to a
street sprinkler all day and milk
ed at night. Here they use buffalo
for work oxen, and street scene
IN this country would make fine
circus in America. Styles These
Filipinos wear low necks and short
sleeves morning, noon and night,
with trains to them. Our Amer
lean girls tried to wear pants or
bloomers but the men made such
howl they gave it up, In China
the ladies have been wearing pants
for four hundred years.
This city is under martial law
after $50 p. N. and no one is al
lowed on the street after that time
without pass. A soldier killed
Chinaman a few nights ago be-
cause he wouldn't stop when told
to halt, and if you get Chinaman
out after dark now you will have
to pull him out with an inch rope.
In June the insurgents tried to
burn the city and our men killed
four hundred of them. There are
not many men in the city now but
lots of women and children, so |
think Uncle Sans boys will have
a good many to kill yet. Rained
every day since we have been here
and it is a common occurrence for
il to rain fourteen inches in TWEEN
ty-four hours. We will be here
until the oath inst, as cannot get
q boat before then. Will be due
at Caclutta December Is, Bombay
January 10. These people look
about like the Mexioans or Cubans,
or the tailings OF the French OF
Spanish; are generally small in
stature, with straight and coarse
hair.
It's no little job taking a trip
around the world and I'll never
IN it again. It's hardly worth
the punishment you get in food,
beds. etc. ! rend you some Man
ia papers under another cover.

very stale. We have had no let

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
A Sickening Spectacle too Frequently
Complained of.

Exhibitions of cruelty TO ami
mails are far too frequent in orr
city and if, as stated, there is no
cure provided by the Arkansas
statute, possibly one can be found
within the town limits by the
council. The price of corn and
hay in this country leave no ex-
cuse for a man working a poor,
worn out team to death. And if
a man is inclined to be so heart
less be owes it to the community
to refrain from distressing exhibl-
tions of cruelty in the presence of
ladies and children. We hope the
city attorney will try and find a
way to abate what is a frequently
complained of sickening spectacle.

No Reward Yet.

Although the Jennings brothers
have been doing time" in prison for
several months, their captors have
not received cent Of the reward Of
fered. Ostensibly the delay results
from the attempt Of other parties be-
side Bud Ledbetter and Paden Toll
bert to get part Of the reward. They
say that had not the others acted the
coward the capture would have been
made near Sapulpa a week before it
was effected and these parties would
then have been entitled to part Of
the reward.

CAN'T STAND THE RAISE.
Hay Business Is Now at the Starva-
ton Point.

The proposed advance in the St.
Louis hay tariff is now stated to be
40 cents ton. The general freight
agents, however, state that the ad-
vance has not been definitely de-
termined upon and it is possible
the announcement was dropped as
q "feeler." If so, the railroad
people probably know by this
time that an advance would mean
a suspension of shipments from
this country until such time as the
price could be advanced to the
consumer. Hay is being hauled 4
or 5 miles TO Big Cabin at from 40
to 60 cents a ton and this is fair
per cent of the price which the
seller receives. The hay business,
at the present price of wire, is at
low ebb now, and 40 cents q ton
advance in freight would be pro-
hibitive.

DOCTOR AND PRESS.

The banquet in the Helm build
ing was a brilliant affair and a
sumptuous feast. DR.. Brazeel pre-
sided as toast master, and the va.
rious subjects were we'll presented
by the speakers, and we will say in
connection here that "The Doctor
and the Press" was not very we'll
handled, but the program gener-
ally was carried out successfully.
1t was nearly II O'Clock when the
banquet closed, after which num-
Der of young people returned to
Cobb's hall and engaged in dane
ing until about three o'clock this
morning.-Wagoner Sayings.
The above was clipped from the
Sayings account of the banquet
given in honor of the Indian Ter
ritory Medical Association at
Wagner Tuesday night. 1t is
unfortunate that the esteemed
Sayings did not more fully express
itself upon so important a matter.
1.-The Doctor and the Press" is
certainly a most fruitful and time
ly topic for a good speech on such
an occasion. Both professions
have attained a high standard in
the Indian Territory, 1t is uni
yersally admitted that no states in
the union can show an abler or
more progressive newspaper press
in proportion to numbers than is
found in the Indian Territory, and
the same thing may truthfully be
said of the medical profession.
The halo of mysticism that
has for centuries hung around the
profession of medicine and surgery
has to a great extent been dispell-
ed by the diffusion of general in
telligence, largely through the
medium of the untramelled Amer.
ican newspaper. Time was when
the masses of the people have been
considered impertinent had they
sought to look within the vail, or
to question mysterious medicine
Along with the education and en-
lightment of the people has come
a better understanding between
the respectable element in both
profession. The newspapers are
the chief auxiliaries of the noble
profession of medicine and surg
cry. But it is pertinent 10 remark
in passing that there are still those
in the medical profession, as in all
other lines Of life, who object to
the calcium light of honest news
paper criticism, and are wont to
contend that the public should
know nothing OF the profession,
and that the people should remain
separated by an impossible gull
from the holy of holies occupied
by the doctor. Happily for the
people, these antiquated fossils
