The pocket book which
was lost by Mr.. Burlin, has been
returned TO him. A local ad in
the Democrat brings quick re-
suits. Tay it.
A charter was, isued yester-
day to the Oklahoma City d
Northwestern Railroad, TO con-
struct a railroad from Oklahoma
City to Denver Colo. This road,
which will be $40 miles long, will
pass through Oklahoma, Cana
dian, Kingfisher, Blaine, Dewey,
Woods and Woodward counties.
Historical dramas have become
the fad of the theater goers, long
before the fad originated "Davy
Crockett, " and historical drama,
as the name indicates, was being
played with success. 1t has
stood the test, and comparison
with others, and is still a favorite.
The we'll known actor, Mr.. Red
mond, will be seen as "Davy
Crockett" at the Anadarko opera
house on Friday, Feb 20.
The rifle carried by the well
known actor, Ed Redmond, in the
part of "Davy Crockett" is a
counterpart of the one carried by
the famous frontierman. The
original rifle is in the possession
of the Tennessee State Historical
Society, and was used as model
by the gunsmith, who made the
rifle carried by Redmond, who
will be seen in the role of "Davy
Crockett" at the Opera House,
Friday, Feb. goth.
When you visit printing office
it is your duty to nose around
over the office, read all copy on
the cases and if there is any more
on the desk be sure and read that
too. This all shows that you are
trying to learn the art. The edi-
tor and printers will hunt up any
copy which you may have over
looked and read it to you, as
they fully appreciate the interesf

usage on shipboard or on the rail. The
stalls are designed in groups OF three,
and are designed. among other things.
TO make an ordinary box car available
for the purposes Of transporting high
class animals. A car Of this description
will contain four of these outfits, thus
affording means of shipping twelve
animals The construction is such that
it is readily possible 10 take 1t apart
and store IL in a small space when II
Is not desired for use; and when there
Is demand for its services IL can be
quickly put together again whenever
it is desired. Such a device is particu-
larly desirable for service on shipboard
and as part Of railroad equipment, as
IL dispenses with the necessity OF keep
ing a number Of cattle cars on hand for
this class of traffic.
Another feature of this invention Is
the means afforded for suspending or
supporting the animals by adjustable
bellybands. whereby they can be up
held in case of sudden jars or in rough
or tossing movements Of cars and YES
sells; also TO provide novel arrange
ments OF rope fastenings TO keep the

to go wrong and make horses lame.
In the earliest ages of man there
were wild horses on all the continents,
but probably on none of the islands,
such as Australia. They differed from
modern horses In having shorter skulls
and deeper jaws. Their legs also were
shorter and their feet smaller in pro-
portion to their bodies. They resembled
overgrown zebras. The quarries con
tanning their remains are so common
In river and lake beds of the latest
geological epoch that the name Of
Equus beds has been applied TO them.
In South America has been found an
ancestor OF the horse of the same epoch
called Hippidium, with many Of the
pecularities Of the hipparions. but with
head as large as that of the modern
horse. Neolthic men left pictures Of
the early horses OF Europe on their
monuments OF polished stones.

and even when his hands are held over
his head in compliance to their order
he can surround the engine with n
curtain Of hot water so that the thieves
will be blinded and otherwise disabled
and forced to desist their further ef-
forts to secure their plunder. This sys-
tenn is designed 10 protect In this man
ner, not only the entrances TO the cab

other parts OF the tender and the plat
form Of the front car. This apparatus
may be thrown into Operat tion from

George 4, Copp. Of Chicago. Ill. calls
for a system of piping connected with
the boiler, below the water line, and
