JONES' CLAIMS FOR BRYAN
Include Auge Slices of Eastern Soil
Olney TO Speak for Bryan.

New York, Sept, Ex-senator James K.
Jones left for Chicago this evening. Be
fore leaving he said:
1.-The situation in the east is very fav-
CRADLE for the election Of Mr.. Bryan. 1t
has improved wonderfully since last I
was here. The situation in the state was
excellent so far as the election of Mr..
Bryan and the state ticket is concerned.
The situation in the states of Connect
cut and New Jersey exceeds the expecta-
lions I had before this my last visit and
I am hopeful that Mr.. Bryan will carry
these states. I am sure that he will
carry West Virginia and Maryland, and
I might say that Delaware might safe
~ be placed in the Democratic column"
Senator Jones does not expect to return
to this city before election day. The sub
committee will have full charge of the
campaign in the east.
According to information given out at
headquarters ex-Secretary of State Olney
viii speak before the Iriquois Club of
Chicago, soon, for Bryan.

GUTHRIE CIR AT GALVESTON
Miss Edna AucIIIy Tells the story of
the Hurricane

Guthrie, o. T., Sept. 19-Miss Edna
Ac&ley, a young lady Of Guthrie, who
was in Galveston attending the Ursuine
convent when the tidal wave overswept
the doomed city, furnishes the following
Impressions of her. exciting experience:
THE citizens Of Galveston had been
warned Of the coming storm. 1t was due
Friday. the day before the storm. As
the tidal waves are frequent there, they
did not prepare for anything more than
what is usual on those occasions. On
Saturday about D. m. a gust of wind
blew down awnings and fences and all of
q sudden ii turned dark People ran into
the large buildings in droves. over four
hundred came into the convent building
FOR safety. 1t was supper time and the
sisters sent some of the girls down
stairs after eatables. They waded up
t. their knees in water. grabbed a box of
crackers and went upstairs. Soon the
water was up TO the second story of the
convent The girls went to the south
windows and the breakers on the gulf
were up to the clouds and as white as
snow. The wind was furious. and down
came the residence houses everywhere.
The waves, fifteen feet high, swept
everything down to death and destruc-
ton. IT was heartrending to see such
homes and happy families destroyed
Part Of the high stohe fence around
the convent crumbled away like a snake.

weatherford o. T., Sept. 19.-The pas
senger and freight traffic on the new ex-
tension which the Rock Island has built
westward out Of Chickasha is exceeding
all expectations of the management. In
fact, the traffic has become so heavy on
this new branch line of the Rock Island
that a double passenger train service has
been made necessary and has been put
in operation. in addition to the mixed
train service which has been running
since the line was opened.
This new extension is fast becoming
one Of the busiest and best paying
feeders of the Rock Island system. The
extension is about 100 miles long and
passes through the Kiowa, Comanche
and Apache Indian reservation. AT the
present time there are several important
towns located on this extension. Ana
darko is the head center of the Indian
police agency and terminus Of the pro-
posed line TO Fort Sill. Mountain View
is the shipping point for Washita coun-

are located in the rich and beautiful
Washita river valley. Kiowa is the ship
ping point for Roger Mills county. Gran
lite and Mangum are important shipping
points for Greer county.
As there IS no law preventing intend
ing settlers in the Kiowa and Comanche
and Apache reservation from going
through the territory in advance Of the
opening, the Rock Island is advertising
the fact TO homeseekers in Kansas, Ne
braska, Missouri and the north advising
them to come down this fall and take a
trip through the reservation. They can
purchase their tickets through to Granite
and Maugum, and this will give them an
excellent chance to see the resources Of
the new country and get some idea Of
the many advantages Of securing a home
there. In the circulars which the Rock
Island is sending out to all homeseekers
attention is especially called to the fact
that there is no other railroad within
fifty miles Of this territory but the Rock
Island, which passes through Que of the
most fertile portions Of il.

Jewish New Years.

Rash Hashanah is the Jewish new
year according to the Hebrew calen-
dar, the first of the month Tishri and
the beginning of the year 5661 of the
Jewish era The day will be observ-
ed by Hebrews, Monday September
Gath. It is set aside as a solemn sea-
son, in which the members of the faith
are supposed to review the actions of
the past year, to repent and to pre-
pare themselves for Yom Kipur, or the
day Of atonement, which is observed
ten days later Rash Hashanah is
also called the day of memorial on
account of the tradition that it is the
anniversary of the day of creation.
The celebration of the day begins at
sunset Monday and lasts until sunset
of the day following. Yom Kipur, or
the day of atonement, is celebrated
ten days later and is day of solemn
fasting and repentance. One of the
most impressive services of the day
is that of the memorial service for
those who have died during the pre-
vious year. The observance of the
day begins with the setting of the
sun on the previous day and lasts
until the same time on the following
day. On the fifteenth day of Tishri
is celebrated Succoth, or the Taber1
nacles, which is to commemorate the
dwelling of the IsraeIites in tents in
the wilderness and the protecting hand
of the Almighty which saved them
from the trials and dangers of that
time. On the twenty-second of Tishri
is held the solemn assembly when
prayer for rain is made.
