OF regret.
A similar movement has been In
augurated, tested aud brought posi-
tive results In California. Every
town In that state which has 500 pop
ulation or over has board Of trade,
which issues daily bulletins OF crop
outlooks and prospects. Annual re-
ports are also issued, which are OF
much benefit TO farmers. When n

mediately finds himself In the hands
of q committee, which loses no time
in showing him the resources and
possibilities of that particular local

Mr.. Dixon also suggested the ieas-
Utility OF establishing a small can
merry, at a cost of mole than $500 or
$500, to guard against loss In fruit
aud truck not shipped.
The speaker discussed the Central
Texas fair as an enterprise of which
Brazos county should feel Justly
proud and one which will 20 far
towards the desired development Of
the town and county, and should on
no account be abandoned. He said
in point OF exhibits and amusements
he found the Bryan fair second 10
none, and that the people should
unite In sustaining Ii.
Mr.. Butler made statements re-
garding the needs Of the fair and its
advantages were discussed by 9TH
ers, the sentiment Of all being that
IL shall be maintained.
On motion the chair appointed a
committee to take up the work of
raising funds for the present necessi-
ties Of the fair, begun at the meeting
held at the opera house last week,
and which will be pushed with vigor
until the required amount is secured.
The following gentlemen were
named on the committee: Webb
Howell, chairman; Ed Hall, II. o.
Boatwright, ID. +. Dansby, Burt
Norwood, w. +. James, Frank
Clarke. The committee will take
up the work this morning.
Mr.. Dixon's speech made a pro-
found impression and was evidently
seed sown in good ground. Before
adjournment the league rendered
him rising vote of thanks.
DO your part towards helping
the fair association, and do it now.

CITIZENS FORM LEAGUE.
Start an Independent Movement for

oklahoma City. Q. T., Feb pa move
ment is now under way which promises
to become the most effective municipal
league ever organized in a city OF this
size in the southwest. the object of which
is to secure the election of a thoroughly
competent and clean city administration.

that the committee on ways and means,
which was recently appointed TO act with
reference to the city campaign, consists
of one hundred men,
Among the methods Of campaigning

CUSTER CITY OBJECTS.
Does Not Want ToWnsite Company to
Outside Parties.

Custer. O. T, Feb. 24.-Ne are informed
from a reliable source that the Custer
City townsite company has placed about
all of its lots in what they term draw
ing, says the Courier. They will sell
these lots to parties in northern states at
a uniform price of SIS each. The parties
who purchase them buy as a matter Of
speculation and many of them wiwll
never improve the lots or come near them.
and as a result they will eventually be
sold for taxes At the present time 1t is
hardly possible for any one TO buy lot
in the city as they are all in their draw
ing Only this week parties were here
with the intention of putting in bank,
and they agreed to put up brick build
ing but the townsite grafters raised the
price OF the lot nearly double when they
found the gentlemen wished to locate.
Now the townsite company cannot hope
to ever build a town with one-half the
lots sold to parties who are not residents
and never will be. They have not the
interests Of me town at heart or they
would willingly sacrifice TO get good
business TO locate here. They do not live
here and probably do not rea!ize their
mistake That they should put up all the
lots in the city-the good and the bad
and sell them st a uniform price shows
they only care for the money they can
get out Of II. Instead Of selling their lots
to men who come here and want TO 10
cate they prefer to put them in this
drawing.
Our citizens should call an Indignation
meeting and write to the townsite CON-
pany demanding that this depiorable mis-
take be rectifed-
The council VIII pass laws demanding
that the lot owners put down sidewalks
and plant trees-which is the only way
to catch the non-residents-
The situation at present Is shame
and Injustice 70 the people and all good
citizens hope the matter viii be adjusted

MARCH WAS STOLEN.
Normal School Excepted From lnhi-
bitions of Appropiation Bills.

Edmond, O. r, Feb. 24-The people of
This city have just received word from
Washington to the effect that the bill
prepared by Delegate Flynn a few weeks
ago excepting the Edmond Normal school
from the provision in the sundry civil
appropriation bill, which prohibited the
appropriation by the legislature of money
for the erection of any public buildings
in Oklahoma, has passed both branches
of congress and will be signed by the
president. This is joyful news here, as
ii will enable the legislature to appro-
pirate money for the relief of the crowd
ed condition of the normal school.
Apropos of the passage of this bill, n
large delegation Of Edmond's leading cit
izens went to Guthrie today to ask the
legislature to pass a bin authorizing a
levy of one-half mill for the next two
years in order that proper additions may
be built TO the normal school to accom-
modate the arge number Of pupils in at
tendance. 1t is believed that, now that
there are no federal stumbling blocks IN
the way. the legislature will cheerfully
authorize the levy asked.

Brown to be sent to Washington for po-
litical purposes. Col. Johnston objected
and was sustained by the court, who said
he would not allow politics to enter into
the case at all; that the attorneys were
manifesting a spirit in the trial of the
case that the court would not tolerate;
that they must conduct the case as law
yers and gentlemen.
Mr.. Chambers protested he would show
that the fact that the transcript was used
for political purposes would be very ma
terial.
The witness was then questioned as to
whether the questions in the transcript
were asked and the answers made Sc

OIL FIELDS AT CARRIER.
Specimens of Oil Taken from Differ
ent Wells Are Satisfactory.

CARRIER, O. T., Feb 2S-During the last
week a special agent of the Eggleton
Mining Co. of Washington. ID. c., has
been in this vicinity examining specimens
of oil which We're taken from different
wells on several farms just east of town.
These specimens have proven entirely
satisfactory, and evidence a larger and
better grade of oil than those being pro-
duced by the Beaumont wells. The in
dicatien of this oil has been known by
few parties for some time but has
never been divulged for the reason that
the land had not been segregated from
the government domain. Everything be-
ing in readiness, the title TO the land hav-
ing been obtained. this company was re-
quested to send their expert which has
resulted in the leasing of numerous tracts
Fof land and prepara tions for an immediate
exploitation OF these finds. There Is abso-
'Iutely no question but what the oil is Of
excellent grade. appearing within 10 feet
of the surface, the indications evidence
for several drills which they have been
operating in the Beaumont fields. with
capacity of 5000 feet in depth.
With the best equipped creamery in the
territory and an up-tO-date 5o0barrel mill
and plenty of oil to furnish light and
best agricultural district in the territory.

Pearl the prize fighter. and has only
been in Enid a few months. Jim Jones
is also a new conner. having been here
only since January. He is the man with
whom Bose Tilton recently had a diff
Guilty.
Johnson and Jones have had consider
able trouble lately, and just before the
killing, which occurred at 500 O'Clock
last night, it is rumored that Jones held
Johnson up at the rear of the saloon and
robbed him of two or three dollars. 1t
is also claimed that a few days since
Jones started into Kersting's saloon with
a revolver, stating that he was going to
kill Johnson. He was thrown out.
At 900 o'clock last night the proprie-
tor and bartender of the Red Front sa-
loon, together with Jim Jones, who was
porter, was in the front part of the sa-
loon. BLACK Pearl" came to the front
door with a shotgun and violently pushed
the door open, which was locked. but
which could be forced by a hard push
from the outside, owing to the looseness
of the lock. He quickly stepped behind
Jones, who was facing the front of the
saloon. and pointed the double-barreled
shotgun at him and fired. the charge
from the right barrel into him just above
the left hip and a little toward the back.
1t was done so quickly that no one could
interfere. Jones dropped. saying: Don't
kill me- PEARL and expired. Pearl was
then disarmed and placed in the county
jail. Jones was taken TO Penniman's un-
dertaking room.

ever was presented 10 Mrs. Hayes by
members OF the w. c. T. L. by any other
body OF women or by any society. Two
side boards from the White !souse were
