covered an area Of about 2Os,2ls acres
and had a population in June, 1900 OF
9lS7 .2O2, with an average density for the
entire city OF 1914 persons to the acre.
This IL a wonderful sample Of what
can be done IN a country with free IN
sttutions The prospects for the future
are sim more marvellous II is supposed
that in 20 years more, the population
win be 100000, and the ten.mIllion
mark will be reached In 1870 by the
close Of the present century It Is sup
posed that close TO 3O,O0O,O00 souls VIII
be living within the confines OF New
York.
The Brooklyn Eagle thus pictures
what New York is today:
New York ls more cosmopollte today
than any other city in the world. II IL
not American, In the sense that Boston
and Denver are American: IL Is Ger
man, Swedish. Irish, Russian, Hebrew.
French Italian, Greek, Syrian, negro,

clothes and ways Of the Englishman
pertain as they do In London. And, II
II lacks a trifle Of the population 10
bring II TO the rank OF London, II is
hard to believe that, as a city Of bus
mess It holds other than the first place
In the world. Its exchanges buy and
sell S20000OOOO In materials and secur-
tiles day, Its real estate Is appraised
at billion and half. II has the fin
est hotels and dlningrOoms In the world.
There are no better theaters, except In
Paris. and only one there. Its parks
and bouleyards are beautiful and spa
cious, Nowhere are bigger and finer
shops and better appointed offices. Its
railroads reach into territory that the
Dutchman never heard Of, II sends its
goods to the Patagonians and Philis-
tines. II wipes its'feet on the products
of the looms Of Persia. and 0aunts on
It's head the feathers OF the bird OF par
adise. The fruits OF the tropics are on
It's table and It washes down its meals
with the finest vintages OF France"
Is this not true Of every American
city, on a scale proportioned TO the re-
spectiye limits Of each? New York is
indeed a typical city OF the New World,
even In its cosmopolitan features.

Overdose of Morphine May Result in

Oklahoma City, 0. T., July 24-Word

individual. known as ''old man Gibson"
and residing a few miles south of Choc

Gibson was at one time, several years
ago. adjudged insane and committed to
the territorial asylum at Norman. but
shortly made his escape from that in

When a couple of officers went TO ar

and requested the officers 10 accompany

accompany the officials. They agreSN to

companied them that as soon as they had

six more Choctaw families arrived from
Atoka. in the Chortaw nation. also 70

country. All of them were full-bloecs and
none could speak word Of English They
also had an Interpreter with them. and
as soon as they had breskfasted They

a great many Chickasaws are not TAX

Chictaws. and they are not slow about
expressing themselves. although BY the
terms OF the supplementary treaty adopt
ed last fail. Choetsws and Chickassrs
are privileged 10 take their aliotments In
either nation they desire. These dissatis-
fed Chickasaws believe that the aHot-
ting of these lands-to the Choctsws will
result in overcrowding this ration. while
the Choctaw lands viii be comparatively
untouched. They are not 50 greatly in
,ensed at the Indians from the Choetsv
nation coming in and taking their allot
ments, as they look upon them as friends
and neighbors. but there is a strong an
tipathy 10 the Mississippi Indians. Most
of these foreigners are full-blooGs. total
ly uneducated anu ignorant. strict adher-
ents TO the ancient tribal customs and
usages. and many Of them unable TO
speak or understand single word Of En-
glish. They are iooAed upon as inter
lopers and instead of aiding Or assisting
in the growth and development OF the
country, they may prove an eIfectual bar
to its further progress. The local Chick

for the purpose Of making advancement

Choctaws have taken allotments and tue
Chickasaws have failed TO secure rnucA

This land is considered as good 40 the

poses. even better than the average al
lotable land. Scarcely any of the Choc-
taws have made any improvements up to
this time. and there is not much prospect
Of their doing 80. apparently.

Death in a most horrible form came

From all the information obtainable rel

and Condvctor Clay, in attempting TO
get on the front cf the caboose at a
point perhaps fifty feet south Of the Reno
avenue crossing, appeared to have been
struck by something-by what and how
they cannot say-and fell under the
wheels Of the caboose and was instantly
killed.
They called TO the rear brakeman of
the train and tod him man had been

Indicated and found the body Of Clay
where it had been cut in twain on the
west rail of the track. the wheels hav-
ing crossed the body just above the hips
and hts left arm WAS crushed at the

BOND SALE
HAS FALLEN
THROUGH
Original Offer Not Acceptable
to BOndSmen.
TO SEEK PURCHASERS
Contractors May Take the Sc
curities in Payment
TO SEEK PURCHASERS

Guthrie. o. T.. July 24.-The FL Reno
American states that the erpected sale of
school bonds to Dr. Threadgil, of okla
homa City, has fallen through. As the
doctor insisted that the money be left on
deposit in his bank. and as the securities
on the band of the schaal treasurer would
not consent to this, the deal has been
called off.
This puts the board in the position Of
having to hunt purchasers at home, or
else get the contractors who build the
new twenty-rooTn building 10 take the
bonds as payment The board Will meet
tonight to consider the matter. and hope
10 find some way out of the difficulty.
The summer is almost half gone and no
steps as yet can be taken to provide new
quarters. AS school opens in November,
now only two months distant. the board
is getting rather anxious 20 find a way
out 1t will take at least six months 70
complete the building after work has
been commenced. 1t will be impossible to
get the building any way like completed
by the time school should open. This will
probably compel the board to fit up the
old building until the new structure Is
ready 70 occupy-if built at all.
III Reno has experienced more than her
share of trouble in getting new school
building. Last summer bonds were voted
in the sum OF $4,000. but owing to Illegal
proceedings in the voting, they were de-
cIared void. and another election was held
last fell AS the law limits the amount
of interest on the bonds to 1 per cent.
the board has been unable 70 find a mar
ket. Thus Ine matter has been delayed
from time to time. until the citizens have
become almost discouraged in their ef-
forts. II is hoped the board Will End
a way TO commence the new building at
once, and see its completion before the
school year has advanced far. and cold
weather comes again.

defects in the animal, Thomas demanded
