FOR EXHIBIT SPACE.

With Applications.

Guthrie, o. T., Nov. 2S.-Since the
completion of the Oklahoma building in
the worlds fair grounds at ST. Louis
the Oklahoma commission has been food
ed with applications for exhibit space for
special assignment of rooms by societies
and clubs, space for stands 10 sell souv-
enirs. special rights 10 exhibit albums

The commission desires to announce

ial products and things of similar char
acter in the state building. There will
be no exhibits of any kind in the Okla

tinct exhibits, located respectively in the
Agricultural, Horticultural. Educational
and Mineral buildings. In addition TO this
the commissioners have arranged TO put

which will be exhibited specimens OF
needle work by the women OF Oklahoma,

mems of painted china. No attempt win

AMES MURDER CASE.
There Are Absolutely No New DeveI-
opments.

Guthrie, o. T., Nov. 2S.-Sheriff Bill
Tilghman Of Lincoln county was in the
city today to settle with the auditor for
transporting prisoners from that county,
convicted at the last term of court, to
the peitentiary at Lansing. Kan
There are absolutely no new develop
ments in the Ames murder case" said
Sheriff Tighman, ''and l am as much in
the dark concerning the murderer as 1
was the day of the crime, November 8.
Every clew has been followed and every
theory advanced has been investigated
fully, but the assassin seems TO have
disappeared off the face of the earth.
There is not the slightest doubt in the
world but what the man who was in
Chandler on the day of the murder and
who made inquiries about the Ames fam
lily, committed the crime. 1 had Adele
Smith. the young woman who was
wounded. describe the murderer. and 1
wrote down the description the same
night the crime was committed When
1 got 10 Chandler the next day. 1 heard
Of the man who had been asking about
the family and sen the assistant prose-
cutting attorney to Attorney Fred War-
oner' to whom the stranger talked. and
had Wagner write a description of the
man, and comparison OF the two descrip-
tions showed them to be identical. But
where the murderer is is a puzzler. He
could not have disappeared more com
pletely if the earth had opened I'D and
swallowed him. I have not given up hone
Of efecting his capture. but at present
there is slim hope"

'C.R. Alexander
ON WEST SIDE
Woodward Man Declares His
Section Is Prospering.
STATEHOOD
That is the Brand in Demand
He Asserts.

Guthrie, o. r, Nov. 2S.ZHon. Charles
| r. Alexander, president OF the council
in the last legislative assembly, and one
of the most popular Republicans in Ok
lahoma was here from Woodward today
on private business. When asked con-
cerning conditions on the West Side, Mr..
| Alexander said:
woodward county, and the western
! counties generally, are prospering to all
extent that eclipses all previous efforts.
| The past year has been an exceptionally
| productive one and many new settlers
are coming in. Farmers in eastern and
middle Oklahoma are selling their home
steads at fancy prices and moving into
the western counties, where they can get
good farms at much lower prices. and, as
a consequence, they have an abundance of
money left with which to build good
houses and barns and stock their lands
with cattle and horses of the best breeds.
In Day and Beaver counties there is still
lots of good government lands and this is
being rapidly settled upon. changing the
big pastures into homesteads with sub
stantial improvements, thus changing the
whole face of the country. The amount
of building going on there is simply phe-
nomenaI-
we of western Oklahoma, in common
with the other sections, want statehood,
and the most popular brand over there is
the immediate kind, for Oklahoma alone.
The bill introduced in congress by Dele
gate Mcclure meets with the approval of
the western counties. If congress will
take action on this bill in time for the
territory TO cast a vote in the next pres
idential election, President Roosevelt will
receive the biggest majority ever cast
for any man in Oklahoma. Somehow, the
president seems to belong to the west and
TO be one of Us. and while the Republi-
cans of the territory are for him, he also
has thousands of friends in the Demo-
cratic party who would vote for him in
preference to any man their party might
name
I'm local and territorial politics, the
Republicans in western Oklahoma were
never so harmonious as now. There is
no friction, no factions, no jealousies.
President Roosevelts magnificent ma
tional policy pleases and enthuses us.
The able and honest administration of
Governor Ferguson is strengthening the
Republican party in the territory daily,
and we are all proud of Delegate Nc
Guire, whose early advocacy of measures
in behalf of Oklahoma shows that he is
the right man for the place he occupies

TARHEEL WAS SiLENCED.
One Oklahoma County Outdid His
Whole State.

Guthrie, o. T, Nov. 23.-What the gov
ernor of South Carolina said to the gov
ernor of North Carolina has become his
torical. While what the governor of Ok
lahoma said TO high state official of
North Carolina, temporarily in charge of
the agricultural building at St Louis.
Tuesday, may not go bounding down the
corridors OF time, it certainly opened the
tar-heel's eyes regarding the productive
ness of Oklahoma. It happened this way.
The North Carolina gentleman was en-
deavoring to get Governor Ferguson and
the Oklahoma Worlds Fair Commission
to agree to cutting down the space al
lotted to this territory in the Agricultural
building, and suggested that he imagined
Oklahoma. being newly developed coun-
try. would not be able to fill over one
half the space she had been granted.
TO this proposition the Oklahoma Off
cials objected. and said that the collection
already made would fill the entire space
to overlowing. The gentleman from North
Carolina, with a lock of increduity. re-
marked.
Well, sab. even the big agricultural
states Will have to have their allotted
space cut down. The great state Of North
Carolina. sab, viii have TO yield in this
matter, and we raised 100000 bushels Of
wheat last year, sah.''
"One county in Oklahoma, Kay county,
raised over 100000 bushels of wheat last
year" quietly replied Governor Fergu-
son.
Oklahoma's space was not cut down,
but the look on the tar-heel's face showed
that he thought the territory also pro
dueed some preyaricators who showed
championship form.

NEXT WEEK WILL
BE FOR KICKERS
Territorial LeSsees Will Air
Their Grievances.
RECENT RAISE HURTS
Reports Indicate That the
Meeting Will Be Lively.

Guthrie, o. T, Nov 23--The week fol-
lowing Thanksgiving viii be down on
the calendar of the school land Office as
'Kickers week" All territorial leases
will then be given an opportunity to air
their grievances occurring over the re-
cent raise in the appraised valuation OF
these lands. made by the appraising
board that recently concluded its session,
and from letters received it viii be a
strenuous week. Reports are coming in
that delegations from nearly every coun-
ty in Oklahoma will wait on the school
lend board and protest against the raise,
and the consequent raise in the rentals.
The school land proposition is bound TO
be the greatest issue in Oklahoma politics
in the near future. There ale nearly 5000
of these Iessees, and with their brothers,
uncles. cousins and other male relatives,
they could easily hold the balance of
power in tte territory. They are bound
10 be unneG, regardless of policits, as it
is a Gu. st on CT home with them, and
the proposition will be one on which the
political party thai offends will go down
to defeat.
Daily the sentiment is crystalizing
around the idea that the matter should
be left to the future state of Oklahoma
for final settlement. There are two sides
TO the questionable rights of the lessees.
and the rights of the other residents and
taxpayers of Oklahoma. The most prom
inent Republicans are in favor of submit
ting the matter to a direct vote of the
people-the referendum-and this proPo-
stion will be fully and thoroughly placed
before the voters of the territory before
the final settlement

FINAL REPORT TO COURT.
Finds the Sheriff Not Responsible for
Jail Outbreak.

! Lawton O. T., Nov. 23.-The grand jury
for Comanche county after returning fif-
ty-eight territorial, and twenty-five fed
eral indictments, has made its final re-
port to the court as follows:
To the Hon. Frank +. Gillette, judge Of
the Seventh judicial district:
Agreeable to the obligations imposed
by the statutes. the grand jury has visited
the several different county buildings,
and has inspected the different county
offices and the records thereof and have
to report as follows:
I'VE have inspected the Jail and the
manner and mode of caring for the pris-
oners therein, and have to say that We
have no recommendations 20 make this
court could be of any assistance in. The
sheriff and his jailor care for the prison.
ers confined in their custody with caution
and consideration, and look after their
wants and needs as the law requires. We
have examined into and investigated the
jail-breaking that occurred in this county
some two months ago, and find that the
same was not caused by negligence of
either the sheriff or his iailor; that the
crowded condition of the Jail and its
lack OF room ana accommodation, WHICH
we very much regret, make it absolutely
Impossible for the sherij with his guards
furnished him by the county, to feel safe
with such number of prisoners in such
temporary construction.
We have examined the books and rec
ords of the sheriff, the probate judge,
county clerk, county treasurer and re-
corder of deeds, and find all of sucn rec
ords to be kept in order and in compli-
ance with the statutes. We have also eX-
amined the records of the various justices
of the peace throughout the county and
with few exceptions, find the records of
such justices of the peace to be kept in
splendid order, but we regret to say that
quite a per cent of the said justices of
the peace in the county have neither the
statutes nor any record in which to rec
ord their proceedings. and we would most
respectfully recommend that the board of
county commissioners, may, at their earl
lest convenience, supply these wants
1.-The grand jury having completed its
work. and having no further matters be-
fore them for investigation, most respect
fully ask that they be now adjourned.
Very respectfully submitted by the (;
