gated Machine on way,

In conversation with Postmaster
Redheld this morning he informed
us that as soon as his fumigating
machine got here he would pro-
ccod to fumigate all mails leaving
Ardmore. aud the star route mails
which arrive here.
Smallpox is prevalent in Ard
more and in nearly every town and
vicinity adjacent, and on account
of this fact, il has been deemed ad
visable by the government to take
this step.
The mails arriving here by rail
will not be fumigated. as that has
already been attended to, especially
il il comes from infected districts.
The mails leaving here will ne
cessarily be delayed, as it takes
time to separate all this mail, per
forate it, and go through the fumi-
eating process for about eight
hours.
The fumigation of these mails
is a good thing, and while matter
may be delayed a little. it is to be
hoped that no one will be affected
from the mails while they might be
il they were not fumigated.

Enforce Your City Laws

We learn that lady living in
North Ardmore narrowly escaped
being shot Saturday by the reck-
less use of target gun in the
hands of some boys. The Young
Americas were plugging away at
some pigeons and the bullets flew
all around the lady who had to
seek safety in her house. This
habit is too common by, not only
boys, but some older heads, and it
should be stopped. There is city
ordinance on this very thing; it
has penalty attachment. Why
is it not enforcedf

All the sisters wore their regalia
which lent still further enchant-
ment to the scene.
The organ now peeled forth the
notes of the wedding march from

presided.
Ushers entered from doors in
the rear advancing on both sides
of the room aud were followed by
the contracting parties, meeting
near the center of the hall. Rev

seven Cars smashed up and Piisa
on Top OF Each Other.

Last night as through freight
No. 81, south bound, was coming

cars jumped the track and banked
up on top of each other, smashing
them all to pieces. The cars were
loaded with groceries, farming i'm

in every direction.
Some OF the cars were on one side
and some on the other, but the
most of them piled right up on the
track. IL was caused by a wheel
OF foreign ear slipping, and
which must have caused the rails
to spread.

The OutcastS.

Mr. W. A. Fraser, author of Mooswa
and Other, has just written for early publ.
cation in The Saturday Evening Post a
short, stirring serial, entitled The Out
CASTS
The Outcasts are an old buffalo and a
wolf-dog, and the greater part of the
story is about the strange comradeship
and striking adventures of these compan-
ions, and their pilgrimage, in company,
to the distant plains of deep grass, Of
which the wolf-dog knew.
There are action, and strength of word
and phrase in the story, and the touch of
the soil and the music and charm and
sombreness of the forest. The rush of
the frenzied buffalo herd to death is told
with splendid dramatic power. The plan
of the book is a unique conception, and it
is worked out on novel and entertaining
lines.
