idea of the majority seems TO he that IN
view Of the general belief that the people
Of the country should be relieved Of the

that the democrats have already gone on

this relief, the republicans could do moth

step in the premises and thus rob the
democrats Of the credit that rishtfuily he
longs to them. Under the circumstances,
there is no reason to believe that the bill

For EIeeting Him From Train at

The Ardmoreite readers will perhaps
remember about live months ago of
reading OF one Of the Santa Fe con
ductors ejecting from his train one E.
Taminosian, who, the conductor
claimed. was travelling on a mileage
book. which, Notwithstanding it was
issued to Taminoslan himself the con
ductor claimed was not regular. At
any rate he refused to carry him on
It. and had Taminosian put of the
train.
Taminosian was an Armenian by
birth and was well posted, travelling
for big Chicago house, and when
they came to him to notify him that
he would have to get of or pay his
fare. he was comfortably ensconsed
in the Pullman car, 1t was $3.50 in the
morning. and Taminosian was then
in the arms or Morpheus.
Taminosian refused TO go, so they
had to pick him up and carry him out.

this morning from railroad engineer,
one too. who is in a position to know,
that the A. & G. railroad people are
hurrying things to beat the band. He
said that they were closing up the
gap beyond Durant now very fast, and
that he thought in a weeks time all
the track east of Durant would be
laid
In the meantime the track is now
finished seven miles west of Durant
and the tracklayers are laying about
two and a half miles Of rail per day.
When one takes into consideration
that Durant is only about sixty miles
from here. and with the information
that the grading contractors will all
be out OF the way OF the steel layine

In a Bout With a Lightning Rod
Agent.


Agent.
Topeka, Kan. Aug. Edward
Swenson, a farmer in Allen county, had
bout with a lightning rod outfit the
other day in which the farmer ulti-
mately didn't come out second best
Swenson recently built fine large
barn and painted it red. 1t was the
finest barn in that section. A light
ming rod agent heard of it. He wanted
to advertise his goods, so he told
Swenson that he would wire and rod
the barn for $3.50, providing Swenson
would tell the farmers in that vicinity
who did the work. Swenson agreed
and signed up a contract. A few days
later a force of men came on and put
up the lightning rods and presented a
bill Of s15G. Swenson said the con-
tract price was $3.50. They sprung
the contract on him and sure enough
he had signed up for $3.50. He did
not read the contract when he signed
It, He notified the lightning rod men
that he would pay them what he prom
ised-$750. no more. They insisted
getting the $3.50. Things were becom
ing rather warm about that time
Swenson sent his boy over to the field
lto notify the threshinR outfit thaI
they were wanted at the new barn a.
once TO attend a necktie party. Th'
boy explained the trouble. The thresh
ers stopped the machine and started 70
the barn in a body. The lightning roo
men saw them coming. took swenson'
$3.50 and left. Swenson's' new bari
is literally covered with lightnini
rods and they only cost him $3.50.
