Domingo, 28 de Abril de 1895.-Sopla un
viento huracanado, Las rafagas, que Sc suce-
den de continue, sacuden todo produciendo
una sonoridad violenta, un choque de cosas
estrepitoso. Y que bienhechora concordancia
hay entire mi alma esos trastornos intensos
de la naturaeZa
Quisiera ser fuerte potente como el ven
dabal, que remueve los arboles los arranca
de cuajo, para barrer aslmlsmo los obstaculos
que obstruyen ell camino de la verdad.
Quisiera como esas rafagas, clamorear mis-
torturas, gritar las sublevaciones de mi cora
z6n ante la ignominia que han derramado So
bre un inocente, sobre todos los suyos. lAh!
Gque castigo merece quien ha cometido tai
crimen? Crimina con su pals, con un lnocen-
te, con toda una familia sumida en- la deses-
peraci6n ese hOmbre debe ser algo fuera de
la naturaleZa, algo incaihcablemente mons

He descubierto hoy la manera de lavar
mis- utensilios de cocina. Hasta ahora los la.

En- este momento me notacan que, hasta

BUYING ARDMoRE REAL ESTATE
C. p. sites Of Dallas Made Many Pur-
chases-Level Head.

The people of Ardmore, that is the
most of us don't know what our own
property is worth. This is evidenced
from the fact that we have hundreds
and hundreds of acres of unimproved
property here, and we are sitting idly
by and waiting for the townsite board
to come along and sell it to the high
est bidder.
We evidently think we will be able
to buy it cheaper that way than to inn
prove and build on it, which we
would have to do in order to have
it plated to us. 1t is our belief that
the property that will go under the
hammer will bring much higher prices
than any one here even dreams Of.
Everybody in this whole country have
their eyes on Ardmore, and they all
know that Ardmore will be n Dallas
or Fort Worth to this country, and
when the time comes for this public
domain to be sold at public auction,
there will be people here from all
parts of the southwest, and even from
New York and Boston. They wilf come
with pockets full of money and they
will buy these lots of ours that we
could now get for a song by placing
small house on tnem.
TO show you what the outside peo-
pie think of our future, what conf
dence they have in our towns growth,
we will just cite you to one man, Mr..
c. p. Sites, of Dallas. Tex, who only
a few days ago was here and bought
the west end of the old Harper place
in the northwest part of town. some
property on North Caddo, and will
build on them at once.
Mr., Sites is doing this for specula.
tive purposes, and being a travelling
man, is in a position TO see Ardmore
from distance. to take birds eye
view of us. so to speak. and knows the
worth of our property better than we
do ourselves.
The A. a. G. railroad Is being put on
the map now and It will not be long
before our map will be ready 10 send
of for approval and as soon AZ It is
approved there can be no more I'M
provements made and plated TO you.

Matthews. on North Caddo street. The
fire departemnt responded promptly
but was unable to be of any service.
as the house was nearly gone when
they arrived there.
Mr. Matthews says he does not know
how the fire originated, that after
everybody had retired he closed the
stove up tight and set the lamp where
1t was wont to sit. When they awoke
this morning the room was all ablaze,
and he and his family had barely time
to get out with their lives.
Mr. Matthews carried $3.50 insur-
ance on his household and kitchen fur
niture. wearing apparel etc. placed
with W. S. wolverton & Son.
The house was owned by f. NJ Tox
and he carried $500 insurance with the
same people.
The fire boys say there was some
shooting before the alarm came to
them. but they pay no attention to
pistol shots any more, for It is vio-
lation of the city ordinance to shoot
off a pistol or gun in the city, and II
some of the offenders were punished

". Martin, department commander; F.

Though there were only fourteen
charter members, the membership Of the
organization is expected to increase
greatly within few weeks About 500
veterans in Shawnee county have no
connection with the G. A. r. and the
new post will draw largely from this
number. The regular meetings are to
be held on Thursday night with an af-
ternoon meeting once a month. The
other Topeka G.. A. r. posts meet on
Saturday night, and it is very difficult
for many Of the older men to attend.
The members of this new lodge say
politics shall rave no place in 1t, be-
lieving that that subject should be kept
out of the organization as much as pos
sible.
The post was named after G G. Gage
because Of the active part which he al
ways took in q. A. R. matters and be-
cause he built The monument in the To-
peka cemetery.
