GREATER SYKESVILLE.

We have caught the "GREATER"
fever-we believe Sykesville is just be-
ginning to realize what she is. Last year
we predicted pike, without toll gates,
from Eldersburg to Sykesville, and bank.
s'Great things take time
The pike we understand is personal
matter between our Senator and our Gov
ernor-we believe We will get it. The
bank will be here before the year is out
An INCORPORATED TOWN,
ELECTRIC LIGHTS and WATER
WORKS-this, too, we believe to be
part of our destiny. The FACTORY
PROPERTY, WATER RIGHTS, &C.,
&C., has changed hands. We feel that
SYKESVILLE'S S future is brighter than
ever before-R E A L ESTATE and
DWELLINGS will be in demand-invest

Dwelling Burned.

About 10 O'Clock last Wednesday morning
the residence of Mr. Edward L. Bowers, on
the FrizeIlburg road, was completely destroy
ed by fire. When discovered the roof was in
flames and the FIRE spread so rapidly that only
few things were removed from the kitchen.
The fire is supposed to have originated by
sparks from the chimney. The building was
insured in the Dug Hill Company, and the
contents in the Goodwin Agency for $500.

Illustrated in the case OF Miss Lena
Trent, . Texas girl, who recently
Journeyed to the City Of Mexico to Sc
cure the pardon OF a man who once
rescued her from an awful fate.
Riding Over Prairie
Fifteen years ago Miss Trent. then
an orphaned child OF I years. was In
trusted to the care Of an old farmer
who was about to cross the Texas
prairie in 4 wagon. She was being
sent to relatives in . frontier settle
ment. The old farmer had not Travelled

were going In the same direction. One
Of them WAS . handsome young fei-
low. but the other presented rather .
repulsive appearance. His clothing
was in shreds, his hair and beard IN
kempt and his features hideously ug.y.
The younger man politely asked the
farmer to let him ride across the
prairie to the settlement. and when
his request had been granted the other
man got into the wagon without say

In the course OF conversation the
young man said his name was Boston
Spidron. and that he wcs employed on
. ranch not far from the farmers own
place. The ragged man sat silent in
. corner Of the wagon box with his hat
down over his face.
Attacked By Wolves
Al the party slowly made theif way
across the prairie there were borne to
their ears the cries Of pack Of wolves.
The Texan seized his whip and urged
his ponies to the top Of their speed.
The young man turned to the silent
companion and asked him II he had
any weapons. He answered In broken
English that he had none. The Texan
had been engaged In hauling wood.
and there were false standards In his
wagon. Spidrou wrsnched one Of these

Of Twin Territories Invade Muskogee and Their Stirring
Shibboleth,
"ENFRANCHISEMENT NOW AND FOREVER p
Resounds Triumphant Within the Walls of the Citadel of
Federalism

From the ramparts of the enemy
the single star Of the twin terri
tories famed brightly at Muskogee
yesterday.
Within the mortared walls OF
their very citadel four hundred
men bearing the declarations OF
independence from the teeming,
restless communities OF a disfran-
ehised people. sOlemnly pledged
their brain and Drawn to placing
that star, undimmed, in the 6rma-
meut of the nations flag.
There was tenseness, an earn
estnees, in the expression Of clearly
defined purpose that BODIED III for
the puerile politician that attempts
the impediment of their course.
Pleasing metaphor and dainty
simiie fell not from the lips of
their leaders. Dut WORDS OF unQues-
toned meaning Forceful words
aflame with those sentiments that
have strewn the ages with the
broken shackle.
From every quarter Of the two
territories they came; the farm and
mine, the counting room and the
professions were there, but all for
one purpose.
A unity of interests amalgamat-
ed By the FIRE that has smouldered
from the beginning IN the breast OF
man, and which by oppression has

been converted into destroying
flames that have consumed kings
and dynasties.
The necessity Of immediate or
ganization for the proper fulfill
ment Of the serious duties entrust-
ed TO the representatives., resulted
IN the clans of the FIVE nations con-
vening at the United States court
house in the morning to nominate
their officers.
The representatives of Oklaho-
ma sent word that they desired a
citizen Of the Indian territory as
chairman, and would request the
endorsement of a representative of
Oklahoma as secretary.
]. b. Turner, of Vlnita, In a
forceful address, urged the claims
Of the Cherokee nation for tbs
honor. and presented the name oi
K. N. Ratcliff for temporary chair
man. The name Of Hon. w. T..
Hutchings, Of Muskogee, was then
placed in nomination for perman-
ent chairman. After some discus
sion Mr.. Ralcllff was selected as
permanent and Mr.. Hutchings
temporary chairman Marshal
Herring, of Muskogee, was select
ed as sergeant-at-arms.
Word was received from the Ok

their choice for secretary. Ad-
journment was then taken until 2
p. M, the hour of the convention.
Promptly at that hour the con.
vention was called to order by G.
K. Castle, of Wagner, with every
seat in the large auditorium occu-
pied and every aisle solid bank
Of men. The invocation was de-
livered by the Rev. M. l.. Butler,
of Muskogee.
The acting chairman in grace
full address then introduced MIR.
Preston West, of Muskogee, who
delivered the address of welcome
The chill of federalism melted as
by magic with the first warm greet
ing that fell in pleasing phrases
from the lips of the gifted sp esker.
He eulogized the motives of those
who bad gathered in such a right
eous cause, and hung out the latch
strings of his hospltable city TO
those who were unable to find
quarters.
Roy Hoffman, of Chandler, Ok
lahoma, responded for the conven-
tion in a speech that brought the
assemblage bowling to their feet
time and again. From pathos to
humor, from humor to mortal
thrusts that pierced and laid bare
the rotteness of the political oppo-
sition; now as gentle as brook,
now torrent, the words poured
from the speaker as though be
we're inspired by the gods to win
mems hearts, to enlist their might.
AT the conclusion of the address
the assemblage thronged around
the speaker in earnest congratula-
tion.
Hon. w. 7. Hutchings, the tenn
porary chairman was then intro
duced TO the convention, and in
logical address born of the trained
legal mind, he attacked the theo-
retical opposition and displayed,
in simple worded clearness, the
actualities of the question.
