IONKAWA HAS A BIG KICK
Not Enough Houses for People Com
ing. Nor Cars for Wheat Going

: Tonkawa, o. t, Feb. A.-As spring ap-
proaches this town begins to assume its
old-time activity in commercial way and
our contractors are jubilant over the pros
poets before them. In their preparation
for spring work the farmers are market
ing a portion of their surplus wheat
which they held over, and as result
another car famine Ia secured in Ton
kawa- During the past five days our
grain dealers received $50 wagon loads of
wheat on the market and ION account Of
the elevators all being full the buyers
sent word into the country for the far
mers TO hold their wheat"
Our Touring mill building is completed
and awaiting the machinery. which will
arrive in few days when the structure
will be pushed to a speedy completion. A
change takes place in the firm of Dono-
hoe & Donohoe, grain dealers, W. T.
Donohoe of Perry purchasing the inter-
est of C. T. Donohoe, who retires from
the business Another recent change in
business in this thriving city was that of
the Dinkler Bros drug firm which sold
to J. l. Freeman & Co, Of Norman, the
purchasers having taken possession and
now enjoying good trade.
Preparations are in progress for
steady and health building growth the
coming season, say Messrs Lund and
May, managers OF the respective firms
OF Butts & Taylor and the Foster Lum-
Der Co. W. S. Klock, architect and
builder, also reports activity in his line.
A brick manufacturing company has re-
Gently been formed and work will shortly
begin to supply the demand for bricks
created by the contracts for the building
of the Martin block and the Goodman &
Co. block
It would seem strange in produce and
prosperous county like this to find so
many homeless people, but such is the
case in Tonka wa-homeless ona ccount of
the numerous late arrivals who are now
stopping with friends awaiting the COM
pletion of their houses for their future
homes. Mr.. Clifton, who recently shipped
a carload of his household effects to
Guthrie and without reshipping to Ton
kawa. is now building a residence in the
Bake addition.
Yesterday afternoon procession or
emigrant wagons from Iowa We're pass
ing through town and on reaching Grand
avenue ran into a blockade of wheat wag-
ons and were forced to back out and
travel on the outskirts of town, when
driver of one of the rear wagons asked
what was the matter, the indignant driver
in front cried out, TOO damned much
wheat"

MAI. SPENCE IN LUZON.
The Georgian's Campaign After the
FiIipinOs.

Mai. R. E. L. Spence of the Thirty-sec-
ord United States Volunteers, now in the
philippines, and formerly of the Third
Georgia, United States Volunteers, has
written recently to a friend in Savannah
some of his experiences in chasing the
rebels. Though written several weeks ago
if reached Savannah only within the last
few days. AS Maj. Spence has many
friends in Savannah, who are interested
in Aim, few extracts from bis letter will
be of undoubted interest
The entire month of December, he says,
was spent in campaigning, or 10 put it into
plain English, fighting. They had eight
encounters with the enemy. With his bat
talon, which he claims is the best in the
army, he was sent through an unexplored
part of the island. and after an unusually
successful campaign, he is now located
at a town across Manila bay, not very far
from Manila, called "Orani," where he
will probably remain for some time.
Auone his many and varied captures,
Mai. Spence had the peculiarly sad pleas
ure of taking from The dead body of
Filipino captain the sword, pistol and
belt of Ensign Wood of Georgia. who was
RIltGC DN the insurgents some three OF
four months ago. There was a compli-
mentary article in the Manila Freedom
abouf il, CRYING Maj. Spence all the credit
ana pla!sng his work. He also captured
al Subig bay nearly $l,0l0000 worth Of
naval stores for the navy. He also cap
tured the private boat of AguinaldO, about
which there was SO much talk, and III
which il was thought he would attetmpt
10 make his escape from the island if too
closely pressed by the United States
troops. While he was not along with the
e2 petition that effected this last capture,
vet il was made through information he
secured from a Spanish sergeant whom he
had released, cared for and sent TO the
hospital at Manila They killed during
this expedition some twenty-five or thirty
of the insurgents, captured many more
and wounded more than they could num-
Der. They captured forty-six rifles, pis-
tolls and other arms, besides driving the
enem. away from every town and village
they passed.
Gen. Macarthur has recognized the ser
vices of Maj. Spence and has forwarded
an official compliment to him, a copy of
which he has sent to his family in Geor-
gia. On one occasion the column lost the
trail in the mountains and the men were
about to despair ,as they had but one
days ration left. When they arose the
next morning it was with heavy hearts,
but to their joy and surprise they spied
three United States war vessels in the
Bay of Subig. Maj. Spence Immediately
secured a long pole and making use of
the only article available for signalling,
his undershirt, reported his condition. He
was taken aboard along with his COM
mand and carried to Subig, where, as he
reports it, they had a beautiful little
fight" captured the town, and were roy
ally entertained by the navy.

THEY WANT A PARK.
COIOred People Ask the street Rail-
way for One.


The colored people have been agitating
among themselves the question of pleas
ure park or resort of some kind for their
own use on the line of the street railway
company somewhere in the suburbs. Rev.
]. j. Durham, pastor of the Second Afri-
can Baptist Church, called upon General
Manager Lotion yesterday, as the repre-
sentative of a committee of colored citi-
zens which has had the matter under con-
sideration and laid the subject before
him. Mr.. Lotion promised to lay the mat
ter before the directors at the annual
meeting this Week and assured Rev. Dur
ham that he would give his support for
a favorab bic consideration of the request.
1t seems that the colored people have
not forgotten their experience at Thun-
deTbolt last summer when the town au-
ttorties enforced the state law requiring
the two races to be separated in the street
cars There has been a letup in the en-
forcement of the law, but the colored peo-
pie apprehend that with the resumption
of the heavy summer travel this, TO them,
Objectionable rule will again be put in
force. They propose TO simplify matters
by obtaining resort of their own in some
other quarter of the county.
