Okmulgee. I. T., April l1-This is a
red letter day in the history of Okmul-
gee. Amid the shouts of many hun !,
dreds of people Mr.. Dexter, the pro
moter and moving spirit of the Ozark
and Cherokee Central railroad, held
the plow that broke the virgin soil
for this road in Okmulgee. AS was
happily said by Mayor Johnson in his
speech at the inauguration of this
great enterprise. Mr.. Dexter sees
the realization of his dreams, his
hopes and his ambition in todays do
ings. There are now more than one
hundred men and teams working on
the grading of this road at this point.
Crews will be put to work both east
and west from here. President Sea-
man has been here several days work

Strength depends on
nutrition. When the
stomach and other organs of digestion

to recei.e its full supply Of nourishment
and hence grows weak. That IS why no
man is stronger than his stomach.

The food eaten is then perfectly digested

A Brigade Of N!ialoaaires.

1t is stated on tho authority ef sta
tistioians who have investigated the
subject that there are no fewer
than 3,601 millionaires in the United
States.
There are those who can remember
when millionaire was great oueios-
ity in this country, end there were not
half dozen OF them all told.
Now there ere more than 600 in the
State Of New York alone.
1t is said that there are more mil
lionaires in the United States than in
ell Europe.
The returns under the new income
tax law Of Germany show how few
immense fortunes there are in that
country il comparison with this coun-
try.
Her Krupp, the great gun maker, is
the only german Citizen who ranks
with the very rich men in the United
States. His income is about s., ,0OO,-
600 year, which falls far below the
incomes Of several Of our great money
kings.
But there is no other man in Ger
many who approximates Krupp in
wealth, aud there are only IS who have
fortunes Of s5,0OO,O0O or more. The
total number of those who are
worth from quarter to half million
Is put down by the authorities at
2,774.
There are so per cent more men in
the United States who have 81 900, 900
or more than there are in Germany
whose fortunes are estimated at be-
tween o quarter and half million.
New York city alone has more than
twice as many millionaires as all Ger
man..
Never in the history of the world has
money been accumulated 80 fast as in
the United States during the last 80
years.

York will be recognized as the money
capital Of the world. It is actually so

A Canine Kleptomaniac.

Sur is kleptomaniac, says New
York dispatch. Many animals steal
food; but Sur does not belong to this
class Of thieves. For weeks or months
at time he may not steal at all; thcn
one of his strange attacks comes On,
and he takes whatever he can ley toe
on that comes within the class of arti-
cles he has liking FOR. Curious!y
these are all things in common use in
any household, so were one searching
for motives he would say that Sur
stole because he thought his family
needed the things. Of course, in
stead OF pleasing, it mortiies them
and thinge have come to such q pass
that his young master has been known
to rise before daybreak and sneak
things back into the neighbors' barns.
Among the articles that Sur has pill
fered are garden hose, an ak, ham.
mer, g. small mosquette rug, old shirt
waists and aprons, six carpet brooms,
several yellow bowls and countless
lard pals.
He brings his booty and drops it on
the front lawn, and then, wagging his
tail, and barking, he scratches on the
screen to let his people know he has
brought them present.
Sur is thoroughbred white Lie
welyn setter and if you knew him you
would probably like him very much,
for in addition to the strange traits
you have been hearing about, he does
many pretty tricks. He can crawl on
all fours like baby, leap high over
stick and walk on his hind legs quite
steadily.
Sur lives in Los Angeles, Cal, in
the land Of oranges, and he is very
fond Of them. He likes to have them
peeled and quartered for him. He
also dotes on candy, raisins and ohoco-
late cake, but his chief standby is
beefsteak.
Sur is seven years old, and he will
probably live as much longer, for no
one takes his thefts seriously, as he is
only dog.
