and service circles, but that it eA
tends to every section of the commu-
nifty. All c~lasses\ of people are SUBJ

recognize is imperative ITO the sue.
cess of the national cause. 1t is un-
doubtedly in pursuance Of this policy
that no Japanese account of the Port
Arthur attacks has yet been published
and non is expected, until Admiral
Togo has completed his designs there.
In the meantime, if the report from
Yinkow of a landing near
Vladivostok, which at present is based
on missionary and native statements.
should prove correct a most impor-
tant and new development in the Jap
anese operations will nave been re-
vealed. as it points to an attack on
Vladivostok from which position the
bay is a little over seventy miles dis
tant.
The report that the railroad a
been cut between Hardin and Vladivos
tok may possibly be connected with
these operations, but until reliable in
formation is forthcoming, this report
must be received with reserve. II
has already been reported from To-
kio tina certain Russian forces were
concentrating at Possiel Bay.
No further news Of an attack OF
Port Arthur after the engagement IN
which the Japanese attempted to sink
vessels in such a manner as to block
the harbor entrance has reached Lon
don. Almost all the English news
papers, in discussing Viceroy Alex
feff's reports, incline to the belief that
Admiral Togo succeeded in so far as
to make the channel impossible for
large battleships, even if it is still
free to smaller craft and presume that
the reported second attack, IL 1t liz
occur, was devoted to an attempt to
sink other obstacles to navigation.

BIG RAILROAD PROJECT.
VIII Build from Joplin, Mo-, to Gal
weston Texas

Muskogee, /. T., Oct. ia
railroad building project. has been
launched here today by the com
pany now controlling the Muskogee
Union railroad, which will involve
the building of a new line of rail
way from Joplin Mo-, to Galveston
Tex, a distance Of over 700 miles.
The company will apply for in
corporation at Guthrie in a few
days at a capitalization of $ro, 600
600 and will be known IS the Miss
ouri, Oklahoma and Calf railway.
Engineers will be in Maskogce
Saturday aud the survey from here
to Joplin will begin.
The projected road runs through
the heart of Indian Territory,
paralelling the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas part Of the way, and will
cross the Canadian river on a bridge
a few miles west of the Katy"
bridge. If built, the new road
will be great rival Of the Miss
ouri, Kansas and Texas and will
be the largest enterprise i'll the
territory since the latter system
was built.
Promoters of the road say that
they will probably make arrange
ments to run into Kansas City over
the tracks of some other road until
they can project their own line
from Joplin TO this city. The new
line will have a branch at Henry
eta, 1. r., running to Shawnee,
Okla. Two of the leaders of this
projpect are William Kene6ck, of
This city, president, and w. P.
Cewar, also Of this city, vice -presi-
dent. Mr.. Kenehck is a contrac-
tor and railroad promoter ana has
built several Of the lines running
out of Muskogee.

Good Progress Made on the Survey
fer Canadian Valley 6 Western

CONTRIBUTIONS COMING IN
From Men Interested In the Welfare Of
the Town

The railroad committee of the
commercial club has received the
following letter from J. L. Sharp,
general attorney for the Canadian
Valley & Western Railway Co.:
Purcell, l. T. Oct, 10, 1904
Railroad Committee, Commercial
Club, Chickasha, J. IT,, Capt.
RI. Melville spent yesterday
forenoon in Purcell and reports
splendid progress on his survey.
He expects to be in Purcell in from
three to four weeks. No grade
will be made at a maximum of
more than six-tenths grade. Mr..
Garter and l feel deeply grateful
70 you and other good citizens Of
Chickasha and shall not fail to
exert every possible influence TO
bring about the early construction
Of the Canadian Valley & Western
Railway Co.'S, line from a con.
nection with the Muskogee Union
to the city Of Chickasha.
Very Resp,
]. +. SHARP,
Gen. Atty.
This is good news for Chicka-
sha. Mr.. Sharp is one of the best
known and most reliable attorneys
in the territory. His word can be
depended upon,
The committee is still at work
raising the required bonus for the
survey. A number of contribu-
tions have been added to those al
ready published but considerable
amount is still needed to complete
the $1,000. Among the subscrip-
tions secured are several from
parties out of Chickasha.
Mr.. v. N. Sayer writes as fol-
lows from Muskogee: X think
the Muskogee Union is Missouri
Pacific road and, judging from the
way they are building out of here,
they expect to make it one Of the
best roads in the country. As you
suggest, you may put me down for
$50 on your subscription list. If
you succeed in getting this road,
you need have no fears but that
your town will be in shape to take
care of any and all opposition. But
you know the advantages that
would accrue from this road with
out any comment from me. Get
this road if you possibly can, for
upon it depends the future growth
Of your town"
T. w. Lanier & Bro. write as
follows from Midlsnd, Tex.
"Inclosed find check for $50.
We think it would be fine thing
for Chickasha if she is so lucky as
to get this road. With best wishes
for Chickasha, we remain,

WITH MUNICIPAL HONeRs
The Obsequies or T. A. Jobs, Late
 City Recorder.

The flog floated at half mast over the city hall yesterday in respect to the memory of T. A. Jobs. late city recorder and at , o'clock a large assemblage of citizens congreSated at the family residence to do him the last personal honor the liv- ing may render to the dead. While a gathering of citizens, it was rather an assembl1ge of friends, for few who knew him as one denied him the fel- lowship of the other. There were pres ent men and women of all creeds and Of no creed, of all political faiths, and perhaps, of no political preferences. Tce city council attended in a body and ev- cry other city official who could pos sibly do so was present in one capacity or another. The fire department turn ed out in uniform and with its appar- atus as an escort of honor. Governor A. c. Brodie, Chief Justice Kent and many members of the territorial bar were present, and the Masonic lodge of this city attended in a body, taking charge of the funeral at the conclusion of the religious ceremony at th7 house.
 There was a profuson of flowers in cludins many floral pieces specially made and representative of societies, friendships, etc. Two immense boquets were presented by the members of the city council and one beautiful token wac the offering of the Rocky Noun tain Princeton club, a fraternity of the graduates of that famous school, where Mir Jobs completed his course in 1862 The Princeton colors, yellow and black adorned the casket, the bleck being ribbon, relieved by the yellow of bright golden flowers. Near the casket was 2 picture of the Princeton faculty as it was composed during the school days of MT. Jobs. 'On the top of the casket was silver plate belring in German text the word "Tom," the simple but endearing name by which his intimates always addressed him.
 The choii of the Presbyterian church began the service by singing Nearer My Cod to Thee" after which Rev Lapsley A. McAfee conducted the rit- u2listic service of the Presbyterian church, followed with a very touching eulogy of the dead man, extolling his virtues in life as he had known them.

TRAINER OF ABYSSINIANS
A We'll Known Timing Han of This
 Territory.

The Republican the other day printed story about the closing of negutia- tons in the consolidation of the New England Mining company and the Clifton Consolidated Mining company
 It was mentioned that one of the prin- cipal owners of the former company was Edward H. Strobel. a man of in ternational reputation and at present general advisor to the government of Siam. There is another man connected with the consolidation who has cut some figure in distant parts of the world, and that is the superintendent. A. r. Ayling, of the Clifton Consoli- dated. MT. Ayling was graduated from West Point, but he did not enter the service. At that time there wss not much going on in the way of war and Mir Ayling desired some more active employment than garrison duty. He engaged in mining and went to Africa
 While he was operating in Abyssinia he was captured by order of Menelek
 who had learned that he knew some thing about military matters and the negus at that time was looking for military instructors to lick his brave but untrained warriors into shape. MT. Ayling's companion was also taken prisoner but he subsequently, made his escape. MT. Ayling, though, was de- tained three years but he was permit

School will close next Friday, April 1, and she proposes to make a final effort to raise the needed money by giving a Birthday" party to which everybody is invited and the elder the guests are, the better. Invitations have been sent to a great many, little silk sack being enclosed in each envelope. There is no doubt though that any rerson who has not been provided with an invitation can secure one at the door if he desires to attend. Following is q copy of the invitation, which is something of a po- etical effort;
 This birthday party is for all who meet, And help swell the organ fund down at

 We send you each this little sack, Please either send or bring it back With cents as many as you are old We promise the number shall never ha

 And a good entertainment, which itself

Just before the close of the negotiations the French government in terposed obstacles in his way. It want ed a French subject to have direction of the work of reorganiza ton and it pro- cured the breaking off of the negotia- tons. French officers were sent to Abyssinia. That was about three years before the outbreak of the war with Italy.
 Major Fechet returned to this county and came to this territory where he was for a. time ir charge of the Old Glory mine in Pima county. That, though, was not his first residence in Arizona, for soon after the war he had been stationed at various military posts in the territory.
