POTATO CROP GOOD.
May Not Be Early but Will Be Large
One

Guthrie, o. T., May 12.-Ewers White,
president of the territorial board of ag
riculture, was in the city today on busi-
ness and called on a number of the ter
ritorial officials. While here, Mr. White
talked freely with the representative of
the Eagle relative to the Pottawatomie
county potato prospects. THE season in
Pottawatomie county will be several days
later this year than last" said Mr..
White, 'and this is probably owing to
the cold weather we have experienced
during the past few weeks. 1 am con-
vjnced that the frost did little damage,
and while in various localities it may
have retarded the growth of the plant
TO some extent, this is about all that
it has done.
THE acreage is about the same that
it was last year and / would estimate il
at about 5000 acres. We anticipate that
the first crop will be ready for market
about June 20, while prior to the cold
weather we thought the crop would be
ready to place on the cars about June 6.
From present indications the yield will
be very large and potato growers Will
reap much financial reward for their
work this year.
THE fact that Pottawatomie county
has produced so many potatoes and Of
such excellent quality has raised the
price of potato land I have known OF
land within ehree miles Of Shawnee sell
ing for 800 per acre. and people were
glad 10 get 1t at that price. You see,
here in Oklahoma we can raisee two
crops Of potatoes. Many cars Of the sec
ond crop were sent out last fan and
some Of the potatoes were very large.
4 second crop will be put in this year and
if the season is favorable we expect big
returns for our work"
Mr.. White has 125 acres Of potatoes
growing and says that the prospects. as
far as he is concerned. could hardly be
bettered. with the exception OF the late
season.

Chestnut Mare Causes a Couple of
Men Much Trouble

Guthrie, o. T., May 12.-G. B. Thomp-
son had quite an experience Saturday in
which a horse and several other parties
figured. About a year and a half ago
Mr.. Thompson sold a chestnut mare with
a flax name and tail TO Willis Babb. a
farmer. \ short time ago Mr.. Babb sold
the mare to horse dealer at Ponca iCty
A man from Perry happened TO see her
and said: why. that mare belongs TO
a friend of mine at Perry" Mr. -Gollen-
hon. the friend. was notified and at once
came 10 Ponca City and identified the
mare as his He also brought a lawyer
with him TO replevin the animal, says
the Blackwell Daily News
So there there were, Thompson, the
man who had originally sold the mare,
Babb. the man to whom he sold her, and
Gollenhon, the man who claimed she had
been stolen from him. The horse dealer
seeing that his shipment was being de-
layed, advised Babb to refund the money
10 him and take the mare. Babb said I
can't 1 haven't the money. Turning to
Thompson he said: 'Will you help me
get this mare back by going to the bank
and getting the money!" Thompson said
Yes, I'll go with you. So they got the
money and the horse dealer was out or
the play.
Thompson proposed to Gollenhon that
each deposit 500 in the bank 10 cover the
costs and expense. This was agreed to,
after some parleying. Thompson said:
Il want more than this, / am here virtu-
ally charged with having stolen property
in my possession; / know this mare, 1
have. owned her since she was years old
and have known her from a colt 1 pur-
pose taking her back with me to Black
well to clear my skirts OF any suspicion
of having Il stolen horse IN my posses
sion"
Mr.. Gollenhon said: MY family will be
disappointed if 1 do not take her back
to Perry with me-" Thompson then said
finally. "She is mine and the only way
you can get her is to repIevin her"
Gollenhon and the lawyer had some more
talk and finally concluded that Thomp-
son must be right, else he would not be
so positive. So the latter brought the
mare back with him to Blackwell. And
they were all happy ever after.

ed.

THEATRICAL.

Miss Lorraine Hollis will appear at
the Grand opera house Friday evening.
She is surrounded by well selected
company of competent players. The
exquisite play of Forget Me- Not" in
which this company is to appear, is one
OF the greatest studies Of social laws; 1t
deals with the question OF the French
marriage law. 1t is strange story of a
strange woman, who has beauty, wit
and ambition, and yet was a gambling
house decoy.
1t is her struggle to regain a social
position which makes the play so inter
esting-so tragic and so powerful. The
character runs the gamut of all the
emotions. The part is deep and wide
enough to take In many degrees and
varieties of histrionic ability. The
character is vividly alive to the finest
ends OF its finest nerves; it is full of
change, variety, light and shade-sud-
den flashes of emotion, sudden lapses
into complete emotional Indifference.
/ /
1.-The Lights of Gotham" will be play
ed at the Grand opera house tomorrow
evening and should be greeted by full
house, as the company is iirst-class one
and highly commended by the press and
public. Culhane, Chace and Weston, of
minstrel fame, are the managers of this
attraction, which is guarantee of its
merit. They now have five companies
on the road playing "The Lights of
Gotham"
The play is strong in comedy and the
plot is a,double one, that holds all until
the drop OF the curtain. The scenic
effects are fine and all are carried by
the company.

SOME SUGGESTIONS
FOR 1903

AS the old year closed and the
new year opened we felt that an
invitation to our friends and pat
rons to come to our store and look
our goods over would prove of
mutual benefit, and we therefore
beg to extend you cordial well
come to favor us with a call at
your earliest convenience.
We have been selling many
goods during the recent past.
Right goods and right prices have
done it for US this season.
While we have been selling
large quantities of goods we did
not allow our stocks to run down,
but have duplicated our orders and
have kept up styles and sizes so
that you can now have the same
selections as early in the season.
Our offering to you during the
year 1908 will be better goods and
lower prices than can be had else
where.
Underwear, furnishings, hats
and caps, shoes and rubber goods
have all received big cut in prices
since January I.
Would you like to save from 20
to 80 per cent on your purchases
for the next few weeks? Visit us
and we will prove that we can save
it for you.
