 A mighty roar

 Another mighty roar.

 Thunderous applause ..y .R
 "Hurrah for McKinleyi'
 Just an ordinary shout.
 And so a turbulent sea of men shouted and roared in froKt of the Age-Herald the returns from the election were flashed from a powerful stereopticon on to a huge sheet of white canvas in front of the win dows of the editorial rooms. The crowd was perhaps the largest ever assembled in any one place on an election night in Bir- mingham, and certainly it was the noisiest and best-natured. Everybody seemed to be in the joliest possible humor although the election news was not as the majority of those present desired it to be.
 Everything was cheered. Bryan news and Mckinley news alike called forth wild shouting, and the enormous crowd was ev- idently out for jolly night, and they had it.
 At l o'clock two self-apponted orators ad- dressed the crowd, and managed to create laughter from those who heard them.
 One bulletin followed another from the great stereopticon win extraordinary rapid ity, and a mighty shout greeted every bull letin. The cries for the Age-Herald were incessant, and the vast gathering of the public realized anew that they and all the people depend upon the Age-Herald for the news in all emergencies and at all times.
 There were from two to three thousand people in the crowd. To write in detail, the street was crowded and the windows of the government building and the other buildings across the street were filled with anxious watchers.
 As fast as the returns came in The Age Herald published them. The first returns favored the Democrats.
 "Give us he doubtful States" cried the crowd.

 Mckinley is elected" cried a crank.
 ''Well, that's a darned sight more than I expected" said an enthusiastic Demo- crat.
 Then came another good Democratic bull letin.
 "Hallo, Johnnie, hallo," cries a street urchn, who does not think the cheering sufficient.
 What's de use O Bryan runnin'?' said a Republican.
 "Ill leave the State If he's elected" says another Republican.
 Here another favorable Democratic bull letin was put on the screen by the stere- optican. Jerk it around so the Democrats can strain their lungs" yells another Re-

ENGLISH VIEWS.
London Papers Filled With Com
 ments on the Election.

London, November 7-Additional interest In the American elections was lent for English observers by the near conjunction with their own elections, which also turned almost wholly on the question of imperial ism The morning papers went to press too early to be in a position to comment on the result, but all published editorials and elaborate dispatches depicting the progress of the contest All are impressed by the fewness of disorders
 The Daily Telegraph says: "Englishmen have never had since Lincoln's time deeper interest In the issue of a Presden- tial contest"
 It compares MT. Bryan with MT Clad stone, declaring that "the formers policy, however humanitarian in its intention, would entail an American Majuba."

Gus differences in opinion arising in the

as reported contained no provision for
giving Indian Territory a territorial form
Of government, but this went out after

for the latter. The resolutions recite the
material resources of the two territories.

hood based on population and the mater
nal situation, and ask congress to confer
statehood with the least possible delay
and on the best possible terms; to throw
the line of statehood about the Indian
tribes and make settlements with them
afterward The resolutions are most
specifically urgent in praying congress to
pass the Dill now before it, to create a SUI
preme court to have jurisdiction over the
two territories.

Woodward Bulletins latest good word
for Woodward county and the west end:
1T is true all over Oklaboma-go up
stream and find water in the creek or
river and uD hin to find good land start
from eastern Oklahoma where the eleva-
ton is 500 feet, and every mile you so
west up the hill the land gets better.
This is to be plainly seen in the wheat
now growing. The wheat Of Woods
county is better than any county east of
it, and Woodward county wheat is better
than that Of Woods. The Buffalo flats of
northwestern Oklahoma, lying 1SOO to
$500 above the sea level will inside Of
i've years, be the finest wheat fields in
