WILL HOLD The WHEAT
Oklahoma Farmers Not Getting
Enough for Product.

Mr.. c. D. Benson, one of the prominent
bankers Of Perry, o. T., was in the city
yesterday.
He says wheat is selling at Perry for
about IS cents per bushel, but he is of
the opinion that the farmers of that sec
ton viii mostly hold for better prices.
He says they are not hard up for money
and If they were they could borrow all
they want on their wheat.
The Perry banker thinks there will be
a great crowd at the opening of the new
country. Speaking Of the opening he
said he hoped that some plan would be
adopted that would prevent contests
He said in some places there were ami
mosities over these contests that will
curse the country for years. When a
settler comes into one of these neighbor-
hoods, he has to take sides or go it
alone.
Mr. Jensen told of one old man who got
one Of the best claims IN the Strip and
it was now worth $4,000. lie said after
the Old man had settled another man
built his shanty on one side and fled a
contest. He came there with 5000 and
had raised good crops and had spent
his $1,000 and all his crops in contesting
and after winning three times he had
finally lost. He recently went to Wash
ington to try to get the case reopened.
He says there have been fabulous sums
Of money spent in Oklahoma on these
contests.

AFRAID OF DREAMS.
Fearful Climb to Fix City Building
FLAG Rope.

Ex-Mayor Cox was telling a reporter
for the Eagle heart rendering story yes
terday morning about the flag rope on
the tower of the city building breaking
and of how City Electrician A. NJ. Evans
had climbed the pole and put up a new
rope. He said the pole swayed to and
fro and it was an awful sight. The ex-
mayor said he had not seen it and he
would not have looked anyhow. He said
the janitor OF the clcy building had told
him about it. and he was afraid he would
dream about that perilous climb. There
was no flag on the city building and no
rope on the staff all day yesterday, just
the same.

OeStFG Gu
This morning about o'clock the barn
belonging to Ed Healy, who lives at the
corner of Pine and Emporia, was discov-
cred TO be on fire. An alarm was at once
turned in, but before tn fire department
could reach the blaze it had spread TO
the barn belonging TO J. E. Conhling,
who lives on the corner Of st. Francis.
Soon after the rear part Of the Healy
house was set on fire by the heat and
sparks. The horses were gotten out of
both barns. The fire company succeeded
in putting out the fire on the Healy house
and also in protecting the surrounding
property. Both barns were an entire
loss. 1t could not be learned whether
the losses were covered by insurance or
not. The blaze evidently originated from
a fire cracker

on the civil service law and the intro
duction of the customs administra-
tion bill' to simplify the collection of
customs. Speaking for the civil service
law he used the expression, since so
frequently quoted: 1.-The Republican
party must take no step backward. The
merit system is here and it is here to
stay" The general tariff measure
which bore his name was introduced
on April 16, 1900. He delivered a mem
orable speech in its support on May Z,
which insured it's passage without any
material amendments.
From the hall of congress he went
back to his district to engage in a fight
for reelection rendered hopeless by a
gerrymander. He made a gallant strug-
gle and came within 300 votes of his
victorious opponent, John c.. War
wick.
As Governor of Ohio.
The state Republican convention
nominated him for governor of Ohio by
reclamation. The campaign following
was enlivened by a series of public de-
bates in which Major Mckinley met
his antagonist. Governor Campbell. The
principal issues were free silver and
free trade. When the votes were
counted 1t was found that Mckinley
had overcome an adverse plurality of
1000 and gained 800 majority.
Although importuned by his friends
IN all parts OF the country to seek the
presidential nomination he steadfastIy
declined. insisting that President Har-
rison was entitled to a second term.
notwithstanding his expressed wishes
he received 1872 votes in the convention
After the defeat of his party and the
apparent population of a protective
tariff he lost neither courage nor con-
fldence and declared: Protection was
never stronger than il is at this hour. -
At the close of his second campaign
for the governorship, which was made
in opposition to those twin heresies.
free silver and free trade" he gained
the tremendous majority of SO.995.
Preceding the congressional elections
of 1894 Governor Mckinley made a Won
derful tour through the states of Mis-
souri,, Kansas. Nebraska, Iowa, Min
nesota. Wisconsin. Illinois, Indiana.
Michigan. Kentucky. Tennessee. Ala
bama and Mississippi. He addressed
enormous gatherings at New Orleans
and Chicago A campaigning trip
through West Virginia, New York and
pennsylvania followed. During the
campaign he made 1863 speeches and
visited 300 towns. The effect of his
work was shown in the increased Re-
publican vote at every point he visited
During the ensuing winter his duties
as governor were made the more ar
duous by the prevalence Of great dis
tress in the mining districts CT the

people were without food except that
