VIII Have u Carnival.

The meeting held at the Guthrie
club last night was rot we'll attended
owing to it's being little known. To-
day number of TIE business men and
merchants were questioned regarding
holding carnival and every one, said
eyes, by all means" Some said, "T
stand ready to give what l gave asst
year"
Guthrie should show 'em. The hard
luck of last year may be retrieved
this year, with such magnificent
crops: 1t need not be held so late and
there will be noopposition. With the
expense in constructing and running
a carnival acquired by the business
men from last years efforts Guthrie
can give the greatest show in the
southwest. Much kL owledge was OBJ
tanned last year regarding prelimin-
ary work and organization. Material
is now on hand and the city owns
twelve of the finest floats ever con-
structed, which need, of course, some
slight repairs. The only thing for the
business men of Guthrie to do is to
get to it and have the show. Give it
only as Guthrie can do and show em
that the capital city is in it still.

For the want Of time and the disin-
clination OF the committee on creden-

mitted the result of the Ell Reno rump
convention to seats in the convention
with a half vote. There was no JUS
tice in the action Of the committee be
cause they would not take the time TO
give it a hearing, so as usual compro-
missed it by dividing it halt and half,
just what the boilers wanted. The aci
tion of said committee has kindled a
fire of dissention in Democratic poll
ties in Oklahoma that will probably

A Republican Convention Bet.

A curious bet was made during the
Republican convention by Delegate
McLain OF Lancaster, Pa, and Dele
gate Kavanaugh Of Ogdens burg, NY,
over the records of Lancaster county
of the former state and Herkimer
county of the latter in giving majori-
ties for the, Republican ticket. Kava-
naugh insisted that Herkimer habitu-
ally gave the largest majority of any
rural county ia the United States
McLain claimed that honor for Ian
caster county. So they put up their
money and started for the public
library TO look up the figures. The
election returns showed that Lancas-
ter was the banner Republican county
IN the United States, as it gives an
average Of 1900 majority for that
party in state and presidential elec-
tions, while Herkimer county seldom
runs over L., 900.

New York, July 13.-The stock mar

strength, strength which could not
have come from trading interests.
Most Of the influence in the way of
news was adverse to improvement and
yesterday the technical condition of
the stock speculation permitted an
apparently easy discontinue of the

movement Of the day representa- and
increased confidence in future develop
ments, but it must be confessed that
investment buying is still reported to
be at low ebb in both stocks and
bonds. Commission houses continue
to complain of ansa bsence of business
of Importance and it is not impossible
that considerable profit taking was
induced by the sharp advance in
prices. The situation of the affairs in
general contains so many factors of
uncertainty that men who purchased
securities at the low prices of June
should not be blamed were they to
realize when the buying sentiment be-
comes pronounced.

BATTLE OF MAeeRsFoNTEIN
Value of the BOer Artillery In Dis
persing the Infantry Attack


1t is apparent from the account of
the battle of Magersfontein tele-
graphed by the correspondent of the
London Daily News AT MOdder river
that it was the bringing of the Boer
artillery into action late i'll the after
noon which decided the day in their
favor. The correspondent says:
The guards brigade was heavily en-
gagged OH the right OF the position. but
could no more than hold their own. The
attack began before the position had
been shelled and the guns came i'll only
TO cover the withdrawal. and then they
most CALAMITY played their part. About
G20 Beers developed So strong an at
tack on The right center that the
Twelfth lancers dismounted two squad
rons which were detached from Gener-
al BabingtOn's command. The lancers
held on till , o'clock i'll the afternoon,
when they were relieved by the
guards. The Beers here We're held in
complete check, though they could not
be driven out of their positions.
Lord Methuen had no fresh troops at
his disposal, and 4 determined attack
on the BOer main position was impOssi-
BILE. Nevertheless. the effort of 10 a.
M having failed. the Black Watch
made a gallant try at about 11:3O, but
again unsuccessfully. The action was
continued by our guns, which had
poured in a terrific fire upon the BOer
position. The naval gun, at 600 yards;
the howitZers and Sixty-second battery
on the front and one battery on the
right center raked the BOer trenches
and their position on the hills. Could
an effective infantry attack now have
been made il must have succeeded.
The fire slackened at noon till $3.50,
when the highlanders We're again got
together TO cooperate in a final attack
upon the Beers.
In the meantime we had got the last
two guns up. At 4:45. however. when
the troops Were in the act of watering.
we were surprised by two we'll directed
shells. The men. having endured
frightful punishment. retired instead
of advancing to cover the attacking
party and only rallied when clean out
of range. The gunners. though startled
by the enemy'S shells. obstinately chung
to their position, replying TO their fire
accurately and steadily till nightfall.
Thus the guns. supported by the caval-
ry brigade. held the ground won. The
Beers. content with having dispersed
the infantry attack with their guns,
made no attempt To take the offensive.
