Arriving at the stand, the exer-

the day, Mr.. Nelson Wheeler, in a
stirring speech carried his audience
back to the stormy days of the
Revolution with such trying events

After which, the long table that
had been erected for the occasion
was spread with an abundance of
good wholesome dishes to which all
had contributed a share.
Prominent among them, was the
famous ''New England" pork and
beans, always quoted, firm and in
good demand, upon such occasions.
A score of young ladies dressed in
white, waited upon the company,
and served tea, coffee or lemonade
till all were supplied.
The afternoon was given up to
social enjoyment, the young people
engaging in various games, while
the older ones sat in groups, rela-
ting incidents of their pioneer ex-
periences, until the lengthening
shadows warned them of the ap-
proach of evening. And when at

The word Oklahoma means i red

soil get as red as those who work in
the North Freedom mine. Evident
ly the name not only applies to the
Indian people who once resided here
but will go down as well applied

Behind.
Along the Missouri valley and
in much of the territory the age of
rural mail delivery and country tel
tephones has not been reached. The
rural mail boxes are not in evidence
and telephone wires do not cross
and recross the country. Daily
newspapers and instant communi-
cation are not appreciated as in
Sauk county.
In riding through Indian terri
tory there were no more Indians to
be seen than in Barabeo almost any
day. The Indians are probably there
but do not reside near the railroad.
At best they are disappearing and
great efforts are now being made to
open the land of Indian territory to
settlement.
Grazing is still great occupa-
tion but gradually the land is being
converted into farms.
Guthrie.
The city is the capital and has d
population of about $4,000 people.
Baraboo with more than 5000 peo-
pie is over IS years old while Guthrie
has an existence of 16 years. There
are "A saloons and II churches, a
street car line completed this week
and many improvements as usually
found in cities of this size.
Oklahoma Politics
Politics in Oklahoma differs wide
ly from every other section of the
country. Here there is but one
idea and that is statehood. The
purpose of holding the national
meeting here was to spread far and
wide the idea that Oklahoma should
come in. All of the addresses of
welcome emphasized the point and
the responses were necessarily along
the same line. The voters are Dem
ocratic so while the admitting Of
the territory would be pleasant for
the one faction in politics the Re
publicans take another view of the
situation.
A HospitabIe People.
The people of Guthrie and Okla
homa are not slow in extending the
glad hand. The whole city is deco
rated for the occasion of the meet
ing and many parties and recep-
tions are given. The four brass
bands play and the excitement is as
dense as at Fourth of July cele-
bration. Fl. E. Cole.

SIXTEEN tn
Annual Banquet of The Fort
nightly Club.
From Thursdays Daily.)

For two hours, last evening, the
Fortnightly club paid its respects
to one of the best menus spread
before it in the sixteen years of it's
existence. Then for one hour and
forty-fve minutes a toast list
weighted with wisdom and spark
ling with wit, occupied the atten-
tion of the club.
This annual June banquet was
held at the Lake View Hotel, Devils
Lake, and was served under the
careful direction of Mrs. Hopkins.
About thirtY-fve ladies and gentle
men sat at long table arranged in
the form of an I. Many ferns,
appropriately arranged, gave a
taste of the beauties of the sur
rounding green of Nature. The
following excellent menu was pro
yided:
MENU
Boul1ion
Fried Chicken Boiled Ham
Saratoga Potatoes
Olives Wax Beans Radishes
Hot Biscuit
Lobster salad Salted Almonds
Waters
Ice Cream Strawberries
Assorted Cake
Cheese
Tea Coffee Milk
The toast list was served in the
music room down stairs. Supt.
Gehrand of the Baraboo public
schools, presided as POSTMASTER
and proved an unfailing fountain
of good jokes and happy remarks.
To his good direction was due much
of the success of that part of the
occasion. Following were the
toasters and their subjects:

would be too brief to be satisfactory.
President r. B. Griggs read the
program prepared for next year,
and the club gave rising vote of
thanks to Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkins
for the splendid manner in which
the club had been entertained.

the newspaper folks gathered at
ST. Louis on Tuesday to come to
Guthrie, there were so many of
them that it required two special
trains to convey the crowd. The
trains for the members of the Ma
tional Editorial association were
furnished by the M. K. & 7. or
katy" route. The trip was up
the Missouri river, across western
Missouri, over a corner of Kansas
through the Indian territory and
into Oklahoma.
Getting Left.
When the first section departed
from the Terminal station in St.
Louis there was a frantic effort
made by several to get aboard.
They had been assigned to Pullman
sections on that train and it was
very necessary to be on board.
Time, tide nor trains wait for 10
man, nor women either, so that ten
were beautifully left behind. One OF
the number was a high officer in
the association so there was no end
of amusement at his expense. One
editor had gone aboard with his
baggage, laid off his coat and was
enjoying himself with some friends
on the platform when the train lett
him. There was nothing to do but
take the next section which the ten
did and not until the trains had al
most crossed the state OF Missouri
was there a chance to reach their
reservations. At the end of a dlvl-
sion both trains stood side by side
and those who had been taught
practical lesson felt greatly relieved
The Crops.
All along the way there was the
same indication as well as general
complaint of too much rain. Vast
acres of wheat have been ruined by
the rust and many fields of corn
have been abandoned. Some OF
the best fields of corn stand almost
waist high and are decidedly uneven.
Most of the horses are mules IN
Missouri. In the fields were blacks and
whites plowing,in most cases using
the old fashioned double-shoVeI
blows. the modern riding plows not
being in evidence. The mules were
in no hurry and neither were the
plowmen, so that in all cases opera
tions were suspended as the decora-
ted trains rolled on.
The ride of several hundred miles
along the Missouri riv is through
a valley of great fertility.
Women Wave Hoes.
In Oklahoma territory the cotton
is being cultivated for the first time
and much of it is being weeded bY
hand to get it clean after the rains
Women by scores, ,colored and white,
were assisting in the work. AS the
trains passed the fields the women
waved their cotton hoes at the pas
sengers, as one man expressed it.
This is no country for oats anc
the acreage is small. Barley nc
better.
The soil about Guthrie is of Z
hrick color and the roads across the
prairie for miles away can beseer
with the red hueiu sharp contras
to the green vegetation. The sol
is said to be excellent for cotton.
