GROWING WESTERN TOWN
Hon. Seid Waddell Visits Weleetka,
Ind. Ter, and is Highly Pleased.

Hon. Seid Waddell Visits Weleetka,
Ind. Ter, and is highly Pleased,
The opportunities offered by
Weleetka, a hourishing young
town In the richest spot of the
Greek Nation, were investigated
by Mr.. Waddell of this city, who
has lust returned from visit to
that place. Mr.. WaddeIl yerifes
in substance the representations
made by the gentlemen who are
now here in the interest of that
little city, the immediate object of
their business beng to sell lots,
the final outcome of which they
hope to increase the population of
the town with first class citizens
and progressive business men. In
other words, they have all the ma
tural advantages needed, and by
] the methods adopted hope to
build a thriving business and man
ufacturing city
Mr.. Waddell spent two Or three
days in Weleetka and surrounding
country. He says the town looks
to have about 1900 or | 500 in
habitants and he speaks compli-
mentary of the class of citizens.
He says it is one of the handsom-
est and cleanest looking towns he
ever saw, admirably located. II
/ is on the bluff of the North Cana
dian River about half mile dis
tant on an elevation of about &C
or so feet, about 500 feet above
the sea level. The ground is
slightly rolling, almost level. II
is sandy and the surface is solid,
making good foundation for
streets and buildings, Weleetka
is only three years old, 50 Mr..
Waddell is reliably informed, yet
the homes and public buildings,
business blocks, ETC., are all OF
modern type and expensive char
acter. The hotel is beautiful
building, erected at a cost of S25,
900. Mr.. Waddell says it is far
above anything we have in this
country outside of a city. They
have two banks owning handsome
buildings, city school building
with an enrolment of 400 pupils,
water works, electric lights, an ice
factory with capacity for a city Of
10000 inhabitants, cotton seed
oil mill with a capital of 0,000,
saw mills, cotton gins, three
churches with good buildings, de-
partment stores carrying immense
supplies, and other things in pro-
portion. Weleetka is the largest
town IN the boundaries laid out for
county. On the first of March
the Tribal government will cease
and WeIeetka will be the seat of
government for the county. If
the Territory gains Statehood We
leetka will be the logical and prac
tical location for the county seat.
The streets are wide and shady.
Main street is 100 feet wide and
other streets so feet wide. Shaw
nee is only 90 miles distant and an
electric railroad is planned to con-
meet these points. Weleetka is at
the crossing of two trunk lines,
the Frisco and the San Bois routes
and division point of the Fort
Smith and Western Railroad. The
country is of rich loamy sand soil
in the bottoms and the highlands
are a chocolate soil. An oil well,
cotton compress, creamery and an
other railroad are contemplated at
Weleetka.
So much for the town. The
country, Mr.. Waddell says, com
prises some very rich and fertile
lands. The Iowlands or country

A False Alarm.

Colenel BOnaparte, the Big
Chief of Maryland Republicans,
is apparently much concerned
over the possible disfIanehise-
ment of foreign born citizens if
the Constitutional Amendment
for the removal of negroes from
the poll books is adopted. The
doughty Colonel does not tell his
hearers and readers that the
father and mother of the Repub-
lican party, the Old Knowuothing
of unsavory memory, wanted the
foreigner TO wait twenty one
years before he could vote and if
he attempted it before prodded
him with an awl. And if he
belonged to a particular church,
as many foreigners do, that of
itself disfranchised him under
the Knownothing creed.
Nor does he tell them that
when his party, the Republican
was in power in the early sixties,
all white people were disfran-
chised who would not swear allie.
glance to the vandalS who then
controlled the government.
Ii the Colonel and his party
expressed the real reason for
their opposition to the proposed
Constitutional Amendment, 1t
would not be the fear of disfran-
chiSlng the foreign born citizens
who are usually Democrats, but
the certainty of DISTINGUISHING the
Ignorant negroes who are the
prop of the Republican party in
Maryland, and who threaten by
their influx from other States
where they are unable to vote, to
dominate this State for all time
and place the white people in
hopeless minority and subject to
the outrages and robbery perpe-
trated in other Southern States
during the carpet bag reign fol-
lowing the Civil War. Neither
our forign born nor other white
citizens will be beguiled by these
wolves in sheep clothing.-Hart-
ford Democrat.

Work Of Amendment Com
mittee.

Great plans for an active cam
paign for the success of the suf-
frage amendment were formu-
lated Tuesday night last, at a
meeting of the Constitutional
Amendment Campaign Com
mittee at the Hotel Rennert in
Baltimore.
1t is purposed to conduct the
contest in a straight from the
shoulder manner, an important
feature of the work being the dis
tribution Of argumentative pam
phlets which will present the
social and political aspects of the
amendments in unmistakable
terms.
The ward executives and
members of the City Committee
have been asked to confer with
the committee at the Rennert,
the object being to get the indi-
vidual expression of the views of
each.
This committee has much to do
in carrying to success the fight
for the amendment. Much of its
work will be to counteract the
false statements made by the Re-
publicans. They are reused to
any act and are desperate.

Newspaper Opinion Of the
Democratic State Platform.
A SOUND, CONSERVATIVE PLAT.
FORM.

A SOUND, CONSERVATIVE PLAT.
FORM.
To read the platform adopted
by the Democratic State Conven.
tion is a genuine pleasure.
Its language is chaste, its sen
timent is sane, its purpose is stated
without artifice.
1t abounds in no scurrilous
filings at the black; it is not the
utterance of a frenzied band of
fire eaters; nor do its sentences
breathe forth vituperation against
those who may differ in opinion.
In its manllness, its cleanness,
its freedom from spleen, it is in
striking contrast to that of the
opposing party, which pours its
Walls of vitriol upon the heads of
all who are not under the banner
of Bonaparte.
The Democratic is a candid,
straightforward statement of a
principle in which the party firm /.
ly believes.
The other is a rabid, frothing
denun ciamento, filed with gnash-
ing of teeth, clanking of vitriol
vials and expressions of blind rage.
Striking indeed is the differ
ence, and the level headed man
cannot fail to be impressed by it..

Aged Farmer is Frightened
to Death.

Frightened to death was the
fate of Frank Caldwell, a farmer,
who died suddenly Saturday
afternoon last, the 30th Of Sep
tember.
Caldwell's death resulted from
peculiar accident. He was
driving near his home when an
automobile passed him on the
raad. The horse took fright aud
broke the shafts and ran back TO
the stable. One of his sons go
ing out to ascertain the trouble,
met his father walking slowly in
the direction of the house. AS he
met him his father said: "All
things are growing black" and
fell dead.

Republicans Name Henry M.
Mccullough for Comp
troller.

The postponed Republican
State Convention met in Baltl.
more on Wednesday night last,
and named State Senator Henry
NJ. Mccullough, of Cecil County,
as their candidate for comp
troller. 1t was the sequel to the
meeting held September 9th, and
was no doubt held over so that
the doings of the Democratic
State Convention could be used
as "a theme for rantings against
the amendment. The great and
good Charles j. Bonaparte was
there in all his blue stocking
glory-right from the Navy De,
partment, where he was not
especially busy and will not be
during the Maryland campaign.
His salary goes on just the same.
But the President is interested
in the negro question that is up
in Maryland, and of course no
one could be found in his official
family more apt in the matter
than the said G. j. Bonaparte.
He made a speech-he is always
doing that now or writing letters
on political subjects. How much
of a refOrmer is the great Charles
j. He used to be, but since he
is the ruler of the "negromaniacs"
of Maryland he can stoop as low
as any of them.

Forty-six for the Frederick
and MiddletoWn Road.

Some disappointment was ex-
pressed at the price paid by the
syndicate for the Frederick and
Middletown Electric Rail W ay
stock. 1t was generally stated
that in the event of a good month
in August and September the
road would be able to pay par
for all the stock turned in to the
new owners of the electric road.
In August it was generally stated
that there was a monster stream
of traffic, and that the receipts
far surpassed anything dreamed
of by the managers of the road.
There was no accidents and no
unnecessary expenses. Septem-
Der was likewise a good month,
and therefore it is not surprising
that S4S. 80 for the stock was q
general disappointment. All
have the best wishes for the new
management; all that is asked
for is fair dealing with the people.
