TnR COWBOY CARNIVAL.

II it were not for some deep think
ing genius suggesting q new idea
of division this indeed would be 4
dull old world. We tire of ONCE
work. the salesman becomes jaded
ploddlng day after day behind the
counter, and the farmer wearies of
turning the sod. A few days at this
season of the year taken from the
monotony of business, the heat and
clamor of city life, or even from the
old farm, and spent in recreation
tones up the system, makes MS buoy
ant in the execution of our fall and
winter duties, and awakens MS to the
appreciable fact that life is indeed
worth living. Half way between
Fort Worth and Ell Paso, high on the
boundless plains, 5000 feet altitude,
where cool unceasing breeZes fan the
wearled brow; where the troblesome
mosquito non est, where the variega-
ted butterfly dances in the sunlight
and the praire dog chatters his won't
ed freedom, is situated the enterpris-
| ing city of Midland.
Last year its energetic citizens ar
ranged an entertainment styled THE
| Cowboy Carnival and the Fine Stock
Show" but the programme was set
in December and unfavorable wea-
ther hampered the success of the
undertaking. This year the Second
Annual Carnival opens August %
and closes September 2, the season
when the first autumnal breezes
blow and good weather is most pos
tive.
The visiting public is promised
ample hotel accommodations and
features of enjoyment par excel
lence.
First day opens with a fine horse
show that challenges comparison,
grand chariot races, thrilling repro
duction of the sports of ancient
Rome, wonderful exhibition of horse
manship by the most famous rough
riders of the world, racing, balloon
ascension, grand ball at Carnival
Hall in honor of visitors. while the
succeeding DAYS and nights are re-
plete with splendid attractions and
varied features of amusement.
Brown Brothers and Sisetrs, worlds
champion bareback riders; great
roping contest, reproduction of Ro-
man Hippodrome, vaudeville show,
Brown Brothers standing upright on
bare backs of bucki1g bronchos, all
in all a programme unique, entertai-
ming, thrilling, grand, wonderful.
A hot time in a white mans town.

They slept well and ate a good

and ministers, although Craig ask
ed for christian assistance yester-
day.
They both lit cigars and smoked
while the death warrant was being
read and walked firmly to the gal

ties about them. They had moth
ing to say on the gallows.
When the rope was being placed
on Brown he said to the guard /:
see one - fellow out
among the spectators / would like
to get even with before / leave
here" "

APPRAlsIN0 BOARD.

The apDraising board of the
Chickasaw nation have almost
completed their work at Colbert.
The second plat met the immediate
approval of the Interior depart
ment and the appraising has been
done. The most valuable business
lot was appraised at $50 and the
residence lots did not reach point
higher than $40.
julie Burney, member of the sur
veying corps, arrived here Friday
and is visiting his mother. The
engineer is expected here today.
1t is estimated that the work at
Colbert will have been completed
and the board be here by the first
of September.
In one instance at least this
board resembles the general IN
Cuba of whom it was said. He is
not talking but fighting. /" 1t Is
understood thoroughly by those
who have conferred with the board
that they give out nothing official
Ilv. 1t is believed, however, that
A1dmore will be the next town
plated. Our people have made
strong pull to induce them to come
here next. 1t is to the interest OF
our people that all precedents that
govern in the survey and plat q
towns not be set forth in the plat Of
minor places but be made in Ard
more where property is of more
value.
Men in this town who are best
acquainted with affairs believe thai
not a business lot in Ardmore viii
be valued at more than $500 TAX
ing this as a basis, procuring title:
I
to property here will not be 81
burdensome as has been talked b!

the town would be deprived of al
the money now on deposit in thu
banks and that a local fnancia
manic wOnld result
Only one-half the valuation vii
be required and that sum divided
into annual payments. Be all a
it may, our people feel no nneasi
ness concerning the appraisemen
of their property, and have n
cause to. The board is composet
of gentlemen whose judgments ar
not wrenched from the natura
center by the appointment to posi-
tions of trust. Their task is al
arduous one, but they have provel
themselves men equal to the emel
gency and we have every reason t
have all confidence in them

BOTH WILL DIE.
Hank Cashier Attacked by Burglar and
 Roth Are MortaI.y Wounded

Chicago, Sept. 20--The bank of Pala- tine, H., twenty miles from this city, was entered by burglar this afternoon F. J. Hilbert, the cashier, resisted and was shot in the head, He will die Af- ter firing at Hilbert the robber rushed from the bank. He was met by H. Plagge, a citizen, who attempted to capture the robber single handed. Plagge was shot in the head, but threw his opponent to the ground and only gave up the fight when he was ham, mered into insensibility with the butt of the robbers pistol. A posse chased and captured the xobber near town. He was at once placed in jail under a strong guard.
 Lawton confessed that the motive of the assault was revenge on Hilbert who, ha alleges, alenated the affections of his wife. He story is not believed by the police, however. They have no doubt the footing of the bank was his ultimate design. The robber says he tracked Hilbert for five years and that he discovered recently where the object of his pursuit lived. He went to the bank, he asserts, to demand $1 800 in satisfaction of the old injury. The cash balance of the institution was $100,OOo all of which was in the vaults when the assault took place. He denies that he entered the bank for the purpose of robbery and claims that the alienation of his wlfe's affection by Hilbert took place five years ago at the Fifth Ave- nue hotel in New York. Hilbert de- clares he has not been in New York in twenty years. Late tonight 1t was an- nounced that both Hilbert and Lawton would die, The formers skull is frac- tured in two places.
