TOM RYAN PRAISES FLYNN
Best HUSTLER Ever Sent to Congress
by Any Territory.

Guthrie, o. T., Oct. 13-The Kingfsher
Free Press says: Some days ago, being
requested to do So Captain Admire wrote
a letter inviting Mr.. Ryan, first assistant
secretary Of the interior, to make some
speeches in Oklahoma during the cam
pagn. Under date date of October 4, he
wrote, and among other things said:
Washington, D. c., Oct. 4, 1900.
Hon. ]. V. Admire, Kingfsher, o. t.:
My Dear Sir: Your letter Of the 10th
ultimo has not received carrier attention
because Of my absence from the city.
In reply to it I would state that bust
ness conditions here make it impractical
for me to leave office here again for the
next ten days, when I expect TO go home
to participate in the canvass. If, upon
arriving there. I find it practicable, 1 will
make two or three speeches in Oklahoma
and will advise you from Topeka.
After Flynn's masterful achievement in
securing free homes; after all he has
done in congress for the benefit of the
people of Oklahoma. and after having
made a record in congress credtable alike
to himself and his constituents, it would
seem that his reelection ought to be as
sured. Flynn is popular in the house and
liked in. administrative circles He is ag-
gressive ,tireless and tactfui in whatever
he undertakes. Never in my time has
there been in congress 4 more efficient
and influential territorial delegate. The
people of Oklahoma cannot be ignorant
OF his standing and services in congress
and / am confident they will reflect him
by an overwhelming majority

and another Indian on a trumped up

Prof Kellogg mas owned the pony since

the case and left for his home suppos-

that a man had his pony. Not knowing
the circumstances the request was
granted and the Indians making a detour
headed Mr.. Kellogg off in q narrow road

grasped the heads Of the ponies and or
dered the professor to return to the

Says That Garden Spot Is
Sterile and Drouthy.

FL Reno, O. T., Oct 15-Great indigna-
ton is felt mere over an article written
for the Rural World. one of the leading
agricultural papers of the United States,
by correspondent who depreciates the
value of the Kiowa and Comanche coun-
try for farming purposes and advises peo-
pie 10 stay away. The article is not con-
sidered as inspired by malice so much as
by ignorance Of the fact that western
area may have equal fertility and re-
sources with the most favored eastern
section and yet to one new to the coun-
try may in its raw state present a rath-
er uninviting appearance. This writer,
who claims to have lived in Oklahoma
for some time yet shows that he doesn' I
know what he is talking about, in the
following language:
II had an opportunity to see some Of
the Comanche country last week and 1
took good look at IT, 1t is high, roll
ing prairie country, treeless and stream
less almost. The quality of the land is
not very good, though it will produce

misleading statements in the papers con-
corning the fertility of the soil There Is
very little rich land in the Comanche
country. 1 think I am capable of judg-
ing, as I am farming and have been for
quite a while, only four miles east Of the
line
mo doubt many small farmers are
locking forward to the opening of this
country for a home. Just let me tell you
If you have any kind of
home where you are, don't let it go for
a prospective home in this droughty coun-
try. If you can get good houses and
good land to rent it will be better, in my
Judgment than most homes that can be
secured in the Comanche country. I anu

to my fellow farmers. Some men Of very

FTP 70 LAND BUYERS
Homeseekers Content to Buy
on Main Rail Lines.
AS GOOD ON BRANCH LINES
And Cheaper, Although It's
All Dirt Cheap.

Guthrie, o. T.. Oct. 1s.-The Manches-
strange TO some people that farms along
the main lines OF the Rock Island and
Santa Fe railroads will sell readily all
the way from g. 800 to 5000 per quarter
section, while out this way on the Santa
Fe branch road, lands that are even bet
ter for all kinds Of farming, will only
bring about $500 TO 5000 per quarter.
TIE secret of this is: All over Iowa,
Illinois, Missouri and other states the
railroads are advertising homeseekers'
excursions to Oklahoma, and run about
two excursions a month into this coun-
try. The excursionists invariably are
sent into the country over the main lines
OF railroads and seldom find their way
out into the country over the branch
roads. Every man who comes is pleased
with Oklahoma at first sight. and unless
he is very careful he buys about the first
fine farm that is offered him along the
main line OF road which brings him into
the country. To be sure. 5000 to him
seems dirt cheap for a quarter section
when he compares II with the price he
would have to pay for a farm no better
where he came from In this way the
lands along the main lines of railroads
are advanced to the point where they are
almost double what they are in this To-
cality, and there are dozens of buyers
there to pay these prices to where there
is one to pay $3.50 to $1,000 for a farm
here that is equally as good in every par
ticular The west and northwest part
n nj ~
Of Woods county can show some of the
best all-purpose farm land in Oklahoma
lands that are very rea sonable in price
and we believe it would profit the Santa
company to advertise this fact abroad

FLYNN OEFAMER CALLED DOWN
HOmesteader's Wife in CARR cid
County Calls Him.

Guthrie, o. T., Oct 13-The Capital
says: A fusion speaker, who attempted
ITO give Delegate Flynn the worst of it in
an address at Kremlin, in Garfield coun-
/ ty, was called down in good shape by a
woman, who was cheered Justify by over
one-hslf the crowd present The speak
er was the nominee on the fusion ticket
for county treasurer and in part he said:
What do we owe Dennis Flynn?
Nothing. He simply did his duty, did
what any man would have done when
ordered by his constituents. He helped
pass the free homes bill, but the Demo-
Gratis and Populists deserve as much
credit as he, and there is no reason why
fhe should deserve a reelection"
At this point in his address there arose
about midway of the audience, a farm
er's wife. holding a child in her arms.
Her action created general notice and
her remarks were given the closest at
tention as she said:
IT want to inform you. Mr.. Speaker,
what we owe Dennis Flynn. Ny hus-
band is a poor man. We have a home
stead but without the passage Of the
free homes bill we would never have
been able to prove up. We did not have
the money and had no way to get IL.
Dennis Flynn passed the free homes bill
and raised the mortgage from our farm,
leaving US a homestead free from debt,
and putting us on our feet equal with
any people in this county. That is what
we owe Dennis Flynn and my husband,
heretofore a Democrat, viii vote for
him"
She was cheered by over one-half the
audience and the cheers continued I'M
til the Speaker said: "Guess I've stirred
up the wrong crowd and had better sit
down" and he attempted no further re-
marks that evening.

FOUR JAlLBlROS GET AWAY
From Pond Greek Jail. Robbing Man
as They J. lee.

Guthrie. o. T., Oct 1.-THE Grant
County Vidette says: Last Friday while
young Adams, who has been cooking for
the prisoners at the county jail was tenn
porarily in charge of that institution. four
Of the prisoners escaped and have not
yet been recaptured. 1t seems that
when the young man took the prisoners
supper to the jail they seized him and
locked him in one of the cells and made
their escape. Only four Of the prisoners
fed, the rest of them preferring to re-
main and stand trial.
John Watt was held up by two men
at the Wild Horse bridge about 10 o'clock
Friday evening, and relieved of all his
cash which happened to be about so. 1t
is supposed that the robbers are two of
the men who escaped from the jail the
same evening, as one of them had a gun
in his possession
