TOWNSHIP COMMISSION,
Has Been in Conference With Gov

Him.-Hitchcock Will
do Same.

The ARDMORElTE is in receipt of
telegram from Fort Worth which
interests nearly every citizen of
Ardmore. 1t is in effect that the
prospects are fattering that Mr..
Wes b. Burney will be retained on
the townsite commission.
Mr.. Burney who was secretary
Of the townsite commission has
been to Tishomingo on business
and is returning home.
Our readers will remember that
Mr. Burney was removed from the
commission by Secretary Hitchcock
because of his refusal to proceed
with the work which Mr.. Burney
considered was not being done in
accordance with the Atoka Agree
ment.
For this act he was removed
and our informant today says he
has been comforting while at Tish-
omingo with his chief, Governor
Johnston, and by him has been re-
appointed.
1t is understood that he will also
be reappointed by Secretary Hitch
cock and be retained on the com.
mission,
This is comforting news to our
people who have the utmost conf,
dence in Mr.. Burney's integrity
aud who know that all his acts are
for the best interests of the people
among whom he resides.

RlNoLlNo BROS CIRCUS.
This Mammoth Aggregation VIII Visit
Ardmore. Wednesday Oct.

Ringing Bros circus will exhibit in
Ardmore, Wednesday October Q.
There has been considerable specula.
zion in regard to the ate. but that
has now been definitely settled. The
show comes here almost direct from
its enormously successful California
tour That it is the biggest and best
show that ever travelled is conceded
by all who have seen It and this yer
dict Is universal from Maine to Calf
ornia. Some idea of the scope of this
seasons show may be gained from a
few plain facts: There are 90 double
length railroad cars, over a thousand
employees, 300 performers. 500 horses
and an immense menagerie, which in
PRODUCES 30 elephants and the only
giraffe on exhibition anywhere in the
world. In addition TO these attrac.
tions there is new and elaborate
spectacle, a renewal of the old Ro-
man hippodrome sces of the old Ro-
Gus scale Of magu't de, a great musi.
cal festival and a mammoth horse
fair. The introduction to all these
wonders is a magnificent free street
parade, which precedes the opening
performance. and which is Ringing
Brothers free contribution to the pub
lie. Ringing Bros circus is popular
in Ardmore and a great circus day as
we'll as a great circus may be looked
for with confidence.

PISTOL FIRING LAST NIGHT.
A Nuisance That Is Becoming Too
Common in This City.

Common in This City.
The peace and quiet of those re-
siding in the vicinity of East Main
street beyond the railroad were
disturbed at late hour last night
by the firing off of pistols. Judge
Gait says that there was only one
policeman for duty last night, the
other two being called away from
the city as witnesses in a case.
lie sent au officer to investigate
the shooting this morning, but no
one over there seemed to know the
parties implicated, further than
that they were white men, sup
posed to have come from Gaines
willie loaded with fighting whiskey.
1t would seem that three police
men, even when all are on duty,
are insufficient to patrol the city
day and night. There is a bad
element in Ardmore and when
mean whiskey gets into them it
would take several officers to keep
them in order.

Poor Crops at Milo

j. W. johnson is IN the city to-
day from Milo. 1t may have been
due to the frame of mind in which
Mr.. johnson was when we met
him, but he gives rather a blue re-
port from his section of the coun-
try He says it has not rained
more than a mere sprinkle at a
time, for the past fve months in
that section, that water is scarce
aud the pastures are dry; cattle
are looking very bad and the ticks
are simply eating them up. He
says that corn will not average
more than seven bushels TO the
acre, and that it will take four
or FIVE acres of cotton to produce
a bale. The cotton, he says, is
virtually all opened in that section
and within three weeks will all be
harvested.
This reads like a tough story for
the good people of Milo neighbor-
hood, but Mr.. Johnson says its so.
