He Succeeded in Getting the News, but
His Method Was QuestiO ma BILE.

"Along about 1887" said a secret
service official of the Dominion OF
Canada who is stationed in Chicago,
Il was stationed in Ottawa. Among
the newspaper men there was young
man from Boston, who represented
several of the great American dailieS
The Dominion government was then
conservative and one day this young
man gotta tip that it was about to in
troduce a bill in Parliament raising
the tariff on American goods. He
wired his papers the facts as he I'M
dersrood them, and received orders
from all to get the bill at any cost
and wire it in full.
The Boston man jumped into cab
and was driven from one minister to
another. Caron absolutely knew moth
ing of it; Pope ridiculed the idea;
Chapleau professed the deepest ignor-
ance. Finally, after having gone
through the entire list, Senator Alb
bott of Montreal, president of the SEN
ate, suggested to the young man he
consult Sir John Macdonald.
but he's the hardest man in the
house to get anything FROM, answer
ed the scribe.
Your last and one resort said
The reporter finally called on Sir
John and stated his mission. Sir John
laughed and said:
"'If it were so 1 would be bound
not to know it. sir-not to know any
thing of it. and in factI don't. If you
find out anything about it, that is re-
liable, just let me know-you know I
like to keep posted on such important
matters He smiled as he said Come
again, any time. Good night
The reporter left Sir John uncer-
tain what to do. He finally thought
of an under secretary in the depart
ment of state. who was likely to be
privy to the matter. This secretary
had an inordinate fondness for whisky
and poker, and could always be found
in certain Ottawa resort. The re-
porter hunted him up, and began to
order the drinks. In two hours he
had the secretary in such a condition
that the latter boastingly told all he
knew, and said he had a copy of the
bill in his room at the hotel. In an
other hour the secretary was asleep in
the cardroom. and the reporter, tax
ing his keys from his pocket, went to
the hotel and secured the bill In an
other hour the papers he represented
In America were putting it in type
Next day there was a terrible row
In Ottawa The wires between every
important city in the United States
and Ottawa were busy. The reporters
for those papers who had been SCOOP
ed wired their journals that the story
was a fake Sir John sent for his
visitor of the preceding evening.
when the interview was over the cor
respondent sent to his paper the fol-
lowing:

you was correct in being copy of bro
posed change in tariff by government.
III Is not, however. the bill which will
be lntroduced--JohnA Macdonald
There had been lively time be-
tween the premier and the newspaner
man, but Sir John did not find ont

reporter was nearer to Sir John than
any ether newspaper man in Ottaw. -

was plain to be seen that Cook had
gone through the carving process and
that his antagonist meant to stab
him for keeps. He had two cuts on
the left arm, one on the right arm,
and lab on the neck. Smith had a
bump on the left side of his head as
big as a baseball and maybe a little
larger. Smith did the carving with
a pocket knife the blade of which was
about two inches long. Its the same
old story-Smith was full of red eye.
That evening Cook swore out war
rant charging Smith with assault and
battery and Justice Croft fixed his
bond at $500 which w. S. Mead
promptly signed. Some time in the
night Cook swore out another war
rant this time charging Smith with

Croft fixed his bond at $500 in default
of which Smith is occupying our once
empty jail.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble. because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

THE FOURTH 1T WA-kEENEY.

Despite that the weather was not
so pleasant on account of the high
wind our Fourth of July celebration
was success in more WAYS than one
All the business houses were pref
tily decorated as well as private resi-
dences, and the stars and stripes were
seen fiutterIng in the breeze from all
directions.
About 10 o'clock good sized crowd
had gathered on the main street to
see the parade The Wa-Keeney
band in fantastic costume headed the
procession, behind which followed
several beautiful floats decorated in
flags and bunting, one of which con-
tained Mother Goose and her family
in costume, close behind came float
full of states which were represented
by the young ladies of the city dress
ed in white; next was a float full Of
beautiful FAIRIES dressed in all colors
of the rain.
At O'Clock the principal sport of
the day commemorative ball game
with Cove City. Cove City went to
the bat to face an ''unknown"-youn
Chase of Ellis. He has pretty de-
livery and the Goveites went out in
one, two, three order. Our boys went
to the bat and also faced an ''un-
Known youngster raised in Cove
county ana the sen of Cy. Pierce, ex-
register of deeds, well known here.
But our boys got onto the youngsters
curves from the start and when the
first inning was over three of our boys
crossed the plate making the score 3
to O. The first half of the second was
a repitition of the first-a goose egg
for Cove. The visitors gave our boys
a dose of their own medicine by re-
firing them without a run. In the
third inning the Youngster crossed
the plate making run for Cove. Our
boys got another goose egg. Score 3
to l. The first half of the fourth
Cove was credited with a goose egg.
Our boys made two runs and then
they retired in one, two, three order
Score 5 to 2. The first half of the
sixth Cove made two runs and retir-
ed. Our boys went to the bat and
made three runs. Score 9 to 4. The
Goveites started the ball to rolling in
the first half of the seventh with
determination of tieing the score
and came within an ace of doing it
making four runs. Our boys went to
the bat and pounded out a run. Score
10 to 8. For the first time the game
was getting interesting. Cove went
to the bat in the first half of the
eighth but young Chase famed them
just like he did in the first. Our boys
didn't do thing in this inning but
make four more runs. The visitors
opened the first half of the ninth dis
couraged and disheartened, but they
went to the bat and played the game
out adding another goose egg -
total of five during the gave. We APP
pend the score:

BUSINESS MEN COMING.
Kansas City's Commercial Club Soon
to Visit Ardmore.

to Visit Ardmore.
A recent issue of the Kansas City
journal contains the following,
which we reproduce in order that
our people may prepare themselves
for the OCCASION:
AT the meeting of the CONNER
cial Club last night the most inn
portant business was the consider
alton of the trade extension trip to
the south. The report of the com.
mittee was adopted and provides
for special train to leave Kansas
City Sunday night, Feb. IS, and
return the next Saturday morning
at 9 o'clock.
In submitting the report, j. d.
Havens, chairman of the trade ex-
tension committee, alluded to the
growing effort of the merchants of
Memphis to secure the trade of that
part of the Indian Territory coy
cred by the new Chectaw extension.
This territory, said Mr.. Havens,
must be cultivated by the merchants
of Kansas City. and he cited the
fact that the people of that district
were already favorably disposed to-
ward us and we owed it TO them to
go down and pa ythem a visit. The
Northern Texas points constitute
disputed territory in which Kansas
City and St. Louis are contesting
for supremacy. 1t was also decided
that only the heads of the various
business institutions of this city
would be asked to go on the trip.
This is one of the best trips ever
conceived by the Commercial Club
from a business standpoint and
nearly all the members who were
present last night expressed them
selves as anxious to make it,"
This important body OF business
men will travel on their own spec
ial train, and their schedule has
already been printed, and shows
their arrival at Ardmore dated Feb.
20, at 225 O'Clock in the afternoon,
and leave at 4 o'clock going south.
1t is needless here to say that
the Ardmore Commercial Club and
our business men generally will be
ready to receive them.
