ANOTHER FARMER DISAPPEARS
Went 10 Xewkirk and Has Not Been
seen since Leaving Home.

Blackwell 0. T., July 2s.-E. r. Strong.
a farmer living nine miles west OF the
| city. has disappeared and the circum>
stances surrounding the mystery would
lead one to believe that he has either
gone insane or met with foul play. the
latter conclusion being the more gen
eral says the News.
Mr.. Strong, who has been running q
threshing machine this year. left home
week ago this morning. telling his
men he was going TO Newkirk TO see
( w G. Snodgrass. from whom he had
purchased the machine. He also toIc
them TO inform his family where he had
gone. and that possibly it would be nee
essary for him to make a trip to Wichita.
Nothing has since been heard from him.
Mrs. Strong did not become uneasy until
the first of the week, supposing he had
gone on to Wichita. But it transpires
that he never called on Snodgrass. who
was in his Office all day, and there Is
no evidence that he was in Newkirk
at all on that date.
Mr.. Snodgrass received a telegram on
Wednesday from Mrs Strong asking
about her husband and wired back that
he had not seen him. Immediately he

stating that he was missing and she was
alarmed.
Accordingly Mr.. Snodgrass rode over
in his automobile and was at once be
seeched by the four little, weeping chill
dren to find their father. The wife was
heartbroken and worried. and Mr. Snod-
grass says he never Witnessed a more
pitiful spectacle. But he could give then
no satisfactory information. and even
the neighbors were vlsibly affected by
the strange disa ppearaHce OF Mr. Strong.

Perry, o. T, July 2S.-John Cizka, a
Bohemian farmer of Noble county. has
been brought TO this city on a charge OF
insanity. He was in the care of two
nephews, Joe and John Soulik- Cizka
formerly conducted a farm near Red
Rock. but for the past two years has
been in Ill health and made his home
with his two nephews. His mind has been
slowly giving way for some time, and
yesterday and last night he became vio-
lently insane, and it required the COM
bined efforts OF his nephews and sew
eral neighbors to control him. He jumped
from his bed and began yelling from the
top of his voice and imagined that one
of the boys was burning up. His screams
could be heard for almost a mile. and it
was only when assistance was secured
that he calmed down and returned TO
bed.

Hennessey, O T. July 2s.-A prospect well
is one OF the things Hennesey people are
interested in. Slow progress has been
made but there have been good reasons
for this. The Clipper tells the following
story:
Unless the rock through which the
course runs gives way to a less formidable
obstruction it is likely to be some time
before the drill reaches a depth of two
thousand feet, should that depth be nee
essary
1t has been several weeks since the drill
began work, and the depth of the well
now is something like two hundred feet
1t will be seen from this that the progress
has been impeded. There are various
reasons for the delay. At the outset the
machinery did not all arrive when expect
ed. and while preparations were made TO
begin operations. the work was delayed
owing TO the absence of portions OF the
equipment which had not come
After the work bad commenced. and 4
depth OF a hundred and fifty feet was
reached. the point Of the drill was broken
of and it required several days to get the
broken piece out. All these hiadrances in
addition to the difficulties in the shape OF
continuous beds Of rock. have conspired
TO retard the progress OF the work.
The drill which is a huge one. goes
down with tremendous force and is grad
ually accomplishing its purpose. Casing
has been put down for a distance OF over
a hundred feet and additions will be made
as required.
Mr.. Forniraseo, the owner of the drill.
has had much experience in drilling wells.
of this kind. lie understands what to do
in case OF emergencies. bun the continued
delays he has experienced have made his
work irksome. Il Is 10 be hoped that the
continuity Of the work may be less bro
ken from now on and that the past diff
culties may be Offset BY good results.

The congress of the United States has
stamped its approval upon this great IN
dertaking by appropriating S5,oo0o00 and
the city of st. Louis has appropriated
the magnificent sum OF so, 900 to aid
in the Installation in a manner commen-
surate with its great mission,
In extent and variety of interests. as
well as in the amount Of money TO be
expended. il is designed on a larger scale
than any preceding exposition in the
worlds history
The Missouri legislature at its last ses-
sion appropriated s100o.0 900 for its build
ing and exhibit. The Illinois commission
is now IN the field backed with an APP
preparation of s25o. 900 which probably Will
be doubled at the next session. In Iowa
bin appropriating Sl25.0O0 was passed by
the Legislature; this amount probably viii
be increased. New York has made a pre-
l,minary appropriation OF $780, coo, and
Mississippi, a state that never before
made an appropriat ton for exposition pur-
poses. has provided $4,000 for her par
ticipation in the great enterprise.
The enterprising territory Of Oklahoma
has played an important part IN the de-
veiopment OF the great west and in every
line leading to the advancement of
humanity. Her sons and daughters rep
resent nearly every state in the union.
Oklahoma should show TO the world her
many resources. as wei as her indus
tries and the products Of her soil.
We ask that you win give all possible
aid in securing an increase Of the appro-
priation made by the last legislature, 10
enable Oklahoma to he so well represent
ed that it will not be second 10 any other
state or territory.
We are especially anxious TO have Ok
iahoma do her fun duty in this matter
on account of the moral effect it will have
on the other territories. Laying aside
all sentiment and considering it strictly
in the light Of a business proposition, a
liberal appropriation by the legislature
would be repaid many fold within the
next few years.
If you should require specific rather
than general information regarding any
feature of this exposition Of its develop
ment and progress, it viii be sent you
Immediately upon application. Very
truly yours, CHAS. NJ. REEVES,

The New Year Dance

The dance at the opera house New Year eve under the auspices of and as a benefit for the Williams Military band was largely attend ed. The boys deserve all the as- sistance they are receiving and under the able leadership of Pro lessor Green success for them is assured as a musical organization of which we may we'll be proud. This week a number of instruments were received from a music house in Chicago and Williams now has a band composed of nineteen pieces. The dance on Wednesday evening netted them a neat little sum and reduced their indebtedness on the instruments to $25. No doubt they will soon be able to raise this amount as they are attending strictly to business. By the time the campaign opens this year Will jams will have a musical organiza- ton second to none in the territory.

 The most notable feature of the Hell Canyon cutoff is that of the Hell Canyon viaduct, crossing a deep canyon, which-to the time this improvement was conceived has been generally conceded as practically impossible. The via duct is a fine steel structure, erected by the Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron works, A. J. Tullock, proprie- tor, of Leavenworth, Kansas It is 645 feet in length and crosses the canyon at an elevation of 165 feet or 1S0 feet above the founda- ton of the sub-structure. The track is carried by steel girders from thirty to ninety feet in length, supported on steel towers in the usual manner of construction of railway viaducts. The viaduct is constructed to carry the largest loads of modern railway traffic. The sub-structure of this viaduct consists of concrete piers and abut- ments-built by the well known firm of B. Lantry Sons, in charge of H. Houser, superintendent.
