any initiated person how some OF the
Sunetaros do their really marvellous work.
They actually catch fish out Of the audi
ence with q line and a long pole. These
people are real Japs and their work is
OF a very high class. Chas. Brownie in
his acrobatic shoe dance caught his au-

clever and clean show and deserve good

FOOD WAS NECESSARY.

Buffalo, N. ~., September, 13th.- When the bulletins were issued that President Mckinley had been able to take solid food, the country rejoiced. It was then believed certain that he would recover rapidly When the bulletin was issued which said that the stomach had refused to assimilate the solid food the hearts of the country paused. They were preparing for the worst news, which came. The food had generated gas and the pressure had influenced the action of the heart. This was the startling message which was given to the world. When the shock had passed, the people asked who was to blame for giving the President solid food before he was in condition to receive it.
 Replying to this question, Dr. Ros- wei Park sad:
 ''The President was not given solid food before he could stand it. He was perfectly able to assimilate the food given him, had it not been that

the impoverished blood affected the heart. The heart refused to act prop erly without strong blood food, and that was why the toast soaked in hot beef juice was given him. He was not given coffee. He relished the food, and asked for a cigar, but this was denied. Everything which medical science knows was done for him, and there was no mistake made.'

SCHOOL ENROLMENT.

The public school of this city open ed for the year 19O1O2, at nine o. clock Monday morning. Several members of the school board were in attendance, together with many par ents of the pupils. The first day was of course spent in the routine work of enrolment and classification, the as- signment of text books and lessons. There was little confusion and the day witnessed the completion of these irk- some duties upon the part of the teachers, with everything in order for regular exercises upon the second day.
 A total of 224 pupils was enrolled; the number to each room, together with name of teacher and grades taught, was as follows:

In response to call, about twenty business and professional men, repre- sentatives of this city's interests, met at the Newport Club rooms Friday morning at nine o'clock to meet sev- eral prominent officials of the Okla homa Choctaw & Gulf Railroad, whom it was understood, had some- thing to offer this city.
 The representative of the Choctaw were Vice-President Henry Wood, Traffic Manager, J. F. Holden and Superintendent John H. Harris.
 Vice-President Wood addressed the gathering upon the object of the visit, making a very clear statement of what the road desired-a terminal for their tracks upon the river, and this he hoped to secure through co-opera tion with the Morning Star, removing the necessity of crossing the track of the Iron Mountain twice.
 In opening, he told of the present conditions, showing that the Choctaw was compelled to use the Iron Noun tain for all business secured from the lumber mills, compress, cotton oil mill and other large shippers in the vicinity of the river. He had no complaint to make against the Iron Mountain, but the facilities were such that the busi- ness of both roads could not be prop erly handled by the one. Such con- dition existing made the ipresent ter minal of the road very unsatisfactory and operated to their detriment in securing river business. The reme dy he proposed was in an extension of the track to the river at this point or at Jacksonport.
 Understanding that the city author ities had accorded right of way privel- eges on Remmel Avenue to the Mor- | ming Star, he expressed the hope that this grant might be so amended as to | allow the Choctaw either by purchase or rental to use the same track through the city, or to construct the line as surveyed and sell or rent 1 to the Mountain Star when desired. The business of either road would not conflict with the other, double cross | ing of the Iron Mountain would be prevented and the Morning Star would be allowed to name the terms | upon which the road should be joint ly used.
 The speaker in closing his remarks | expressed desire to see a copy of the ordinance granting right-of-w way to the Morning Star along Remmel Avenue, which was furnished him be- fore leaving the city. A plot of the city was brought forward and an informal | discussion held relative to what other routes might be used. Garfield Street and the new levee were talked of and favorably received by the visiting officials, though it was stated by them that nothing definite relative to a track over such route could be pro- posed until an examination as to it's cost were made.
 The city, in the event that she were unable to alter or revoke the terms of grant made to the Morning Star, was asked to use her good offices in secur- ing such concession from that road. Before the consultation broke up, it was agreed that the Choctaw officials should submit a statement of their desires in writing to the mayor, which would then be taken up by commit tee appointed by him and some action secured or at least attempted.
