SCHOOL
EXHIBITS
SPLENDID SHOWING MADE IN ALL
THE GRADES YESTERDAY MANY
VISITED THE SCHOOLS
THE DISPLAY MUCH ADMIRED
Remarkable Progress in Drawing. Fine
Examination Papers seen

An Express reporter made a
hurried visit through the school
buildings S yesterday to see the ex-
hibits made by the various grades.
II would require many columns to
give anything like an adequate
description of the work seen in each
room. All that is now possible is to
give 'birds-eye view and the
and the general impression left on
the minds of the visitors.
All the grades from the primary
to the high school had exhibits and
they were arranged in a most at
tractive manner. The displays in
cluded drawing, maps, clay model
ing, written work in the various
branches, examination papers. etc.
Perhaps the most striking feature
of the exhabit was the drawing.
1t was indeed surprising to observe
the remarkable progrss that has
been made in this art in SO short a
time, If anybody ever imagined
that there is lack Of arstistic
tastes or talents in Chickasha this
impression would certainly have
been removed by a visit to the
schools. From the little folks in the
primary to the big folks in the up
per grades, the greatest skill in the
use of pencil, pen and crayon was
shown. The specimens in colors
we're indeed beautiful, The speci-
mems included drawings Of 7 simple
objects, plants, animals, and in
some cases complex landscape views
alb Of which were greatly admired
BY the crowds that visited the
buildings.
Ir map drawing and penmanship
the work was equally good, while
the examination papers and other
written work showed a high degree
of proficiency in the several branch
es.
A portion of the exhibit that at
tracted much attention was the bo-
tanical and geological collection in
the high school. These were made
by the pupils, the specimens being
neatly mounted and enclosed in
suitable cabinets.
Supt Staley and his teachers are
to be complimented upon the show
ing made.

Over Danger that Threatens Indo.China.
Fears the Japanese

London, IS.-Now that it seems

revival of interest in the Far East

northward Of French possessions on
the Chinese sea. and the port which
Rojestvensky can set for his final
departure to meet the Japanese. 1t
has fine anchorage and a shelter
ed channel, where large feet may
ride IN safety.
Reports still circulate in London
to the effect that the Russian Paci.
nc fleet arrangements are extremely
inadequate an have been the main
cause of its prolonged stay in Indo-
Chinese waters, and that the ad-
miral is finding difficulty on this
score.
The correspondent at Toxic Of
the Daily Telegraph says t is ex-
pected there that the Russian fleet

A WONDERFUL CURE.

Mr.. II. W. Strauch, owner of the great
Rock Station Mills at Rock, Penn, writes
in part as follows; Il can cheerfully say
that Cal-cura Solvent, DR.. David Kennedy's
new medicine, has helped me more than
any other treatment or medicine 1 ever
had. am 65 years of age. For years
was troubled with a severe case of kidney
and bladder disease. L consulted numer-
Gus well-known physicians (and 1 do not
complain in any way of their treatment).
1 have used various kinds of medicine, but
nothing equals Cal-cura Solvent. consider
myself completely cured, and / am doing
my best in recommending this grand medi-
cine to my friends, for want to spread
its reputation throughout this territory"
There are hundreds of people who have
been absolutely cured of kidney, bladder
and liver disorders by the thorough and
systematic use of Cal-cura Solvent. The
greatest work of this new medicine is that
it prevents the formation of stone and
gravel in the Kidneys and Bladder by dis
solving the uric acid and phosphate sedi-
ments, thus purify ing the blood and cor
recting all those uric acid conditions of the
stomach which are responsible for the
formation of uric acid and govt poisoning
and rheumatism.
Cal-cuga Solvent gives a healthy action
to the liver and freedom from constipation.

There Is no more unhappy wretch in all
this wide world than Nicholas II, Car
and "Autocrat of all the Russias," as he
grandiloquently calls himself. There is
no man for whom one must entertain
more profound pity or more profound
contempt. Were Nicholas Nero or a
Charles II, his unrestrained passion or
his love of pleasure would command a
certain respect, IL not exactly admiration.
Nicholas is neither; he more nearly re-
sembles that king Of France contempt
ously nicknamed lie debonnaire, who full
of good Intentions, was of a nature too
vacillating to be able to carry his good in
tentions into effect. and whose compliant
nature finally brought him misery and
to his empire dissolution. Nicholas
is ruler who means well, who takes
life seriously. who would like to see his
people contented and prosperous, but who
accomplishes nothing because he has no
stability and no strength of character
He is n man without a mental compass;
there is no polarization in his mind;
there is nothing to hold him on a set
course. He swings from point to point,
like ship with rudder gone al the mercy
of every passing slant of wind or ripping
wave. At times he appears almost the
man of courage, of purpose, of determin-
alton; and then after every effort comes
the reaction. Spent by his own evidence
Of strength, frightened by the exercise
Of his will, he turns to the doctors OF
superstition, the men whose trade is
omens, and he falls a prey to their
malign influence For a man who seeks
his inspiration delivered through the lips
of the dead, who permits himself to be
the tool of miracle workers, who seeks
portents in the impalpable things of the
air instead of reading the signs OF the
times in the faces and the hearts of men
and women who surround him, can one
have anything else but contempt?
And yet one must be Just, and one
must recognize that no matter what he
does he is surely marked for the hand of
the assassin. If he cannot escape from
the thrall of the Pobiedonosteffs and the
reactionary grand ducal ring, he will be
destroyed by the bomb as was his grand
father; IL he yields to the benevolent
dictates of his own heart or the fear of
the vengeance OF his long suffering sub
jects, he will perish under the dagger of
some member of his encourage, as other
members OF his i'll fated family have.
He can never close his ears to the
sound of the beating OF the wings of
death. He can never shut out from his
vision the spectre that turks just beyond
the reach OF his outstretched hand.
From haunting fear there is no escape.
Despise him one may properly, and yet
one cannot fail to have for him pity.
