When a Horse Is Down.

When witness in an English court the
other day remarked that it was necessary
to sit on horses head when he was down
to keep him quiet the judge replied;
Nothing of the kind. People don seem
to understand that the only thing necessary
is to get hold of his ear and and keep his
nose up in the air, | have seen lady
keep horse quiet in that way without
soiling her gloves.

Hair Color.

In the case of horses where the skin has
been abrsded by the harness if the CALLED re-
gion is left to itself the hair will grow in, but
be eolorless, while if oil is applied freely
to the abrasion hair of dark or normal
color will be produced, thus indicating that
the color is ordinarily due to the secretions
of the skin sinking down as sediment to
the base of the hair follicle, where it is
absorbed by the shaft of the hair.

CADDO NORMAL CLOSES
Largest Ever HeId--Jonas Cook Tells
Large Tales.

Jonas Cook has returned from
Anakarko where he has been an in
structor in the Caddo county nor
NAL. The normal closed yester-
day, the number enrolled at the
close being $50, nearly twice the
enrolment last year Examina-
tions were taken by I2I teachers.
Miss Maude Widaman, county
superintendent, is former Chick
asha teacher and is making a great
success of her work.
It is thought that the large att
tendance this year was due in part
to the expectation that Mr.. Cook
would repeat the air ship expert
ment which won him SO much
fame last year at Lawton. 1t will
be remembered that be sailed from
Mt. Scott to the Keechi hills III an
airship of his own invention. For
some reason however, Mr.. Cook
didn't crafty the curiosity of the
teachers Of Caddo.
Mr.. Cook says when he first
went t; Anadarko he heard a pc
culiar music of enhancing sweet
ness which he at first thought was
the music of the spheres but later
discovered that it was the sound of
the corn growing. He also reports
that the Rock Island keeps a force
Of men on guard along its line up
the Washita valley to prevent corn
stalks from falling across the track

A new ROAD OPENED
Through the Scott Jones Addition. Better
Travelling Fatalities

Scott Jones has opened a road
through his addition in southwest
part of town. The road extends
from the Burney place, formerly
owned by Mr.. Jones, three quart
ers Of mile south and connects
with the road leading west past
the Line House.
1t is an 80 foot road and is III
good shape for the use off the
public, 1t is a continuation Of
Thirteenth Street. This will en-
able the public to avoid the road
furthur west which is generally in
bad shape in rainy weather.
Several handsome residences will
likely be built in the Scott Jones
addition within few months. The
lots are very desirable for resid-
dence purposes. They are on
high ground commanding a hne
view of the city and country.

they start on their third trip which
is finished by $50. The letter
carriers work eight hours a day;
they are fined if they work over
time. 1t costs them days pay
if they work 50 minutes overtime.
This is due to contract which Uncle
Sam has with the letter carriers
union to which all the carriers be-
long. The city carrier here de-
livers an average of 65 pounds Of
mail day, which is much larger
than the average in most cities.
Mr.. Rose says he needs three more
carriers to deliver to all parts Of
city. At the present time the
territory covered extends from
Michigan to Florida and from the
city limits or the east to Tenth
Street
The money order and register de
partment is another branch Of
the business which is quite large.
The average number Of letters re-
pistered per day is about ten
while an average Of so money
orders are issued daily, about ten
being paid. The amount Of mon
ey transmitted per week will aver
age $1,000. although it sometimes
ruus up as high as $4,000. 1t
keeps one man busy to attend to
this part Of the business.
The working room Of the post
Office is a busy place and is well
arranged for the purpose. Three
electric fans keep the workers cool
when an irate party flies on to them
for the letter that didn't come.
Uucle sam also furnishes fine
typewriter for tine use of the Office,
which is supplied TO only few Of
the larger offices. Owing to the
increasing business. the department
has decided to allow the Office q
cancelling machine and Mr.. Rose
has received notice that the ma
chine is on the way.
The Office force consists of the
chief and six assistants. three city
carriers and three rural route car
riers. Postmaster Rose receives
salary of $4,000 year, while the
salaries of the clerks vary from
5000 to $I2oo per year. Rural
carriers receive $72o year and
city carriers 5000 annually; tht

In connection with the move
ment the Indian Territory and
Oklahoma Industrial bureau has
beeu organized with directory of
leading men Of both territories and
with ex-Secretary ]. B. Thoburn
of the Oklahoma board of agricul-
ture at the managing head of the
institution which will be depart
mental in its operations with head
Offices at Pauls Valley and Okla
homa or Guthrie.
Since the movement has become
known numerous manufacturing
and industrial plants from different
sections Of the country have been
manifesting increased interest and
are preparing to remove plants to
points in the Washita valley.
Among these are two creameries, a
brick and tile works, a box facto-
ry and a Kansas City planning mill
and bank and post Office fixture
works.
Seen here today, Mr.. Thoburn
expressed it as his opinion that
the Washita valley would in the
next two years experience the
greatest wholesale awakening and
movement along the line of
agricultural and industrial develop
ment and town building that has
marked any region in the south
west.
The effect of the plans of the
syndicates becoming known is
already arousing great interest and
attracting new people and new
capital to this part of the Chicka-
saw nation and this place in a
substantial way.
The syndicate has over five
hundred active correspondents and
working agents scattered through
the industrial centers and most
thickly settled and prosperous
sections of the eastern, central and
southern states who at the proper
time will take up the work ol
centralizing energies on the coloni-
zation of the Washita valley anc
the locating of enterprises in tht

Fall River. Mass. July 17.-(Spe.
clal)-The union cotton WeaverS to
day made formal demand upon the
Cotton Manufacturers association
for restoration of the wage scale in
force previous to July I. 1904 and
while the result of their demand will
not be officially announced until later
the matter has been taken up by the
representatives and officers of the
manufacturers association, and it is
understood that there is a grave like
''hfod of another strike, because GER
tain Of the manufacturers have al
ready announced that their organiza-
tiOn will under no circumstances re.
new the old scale. The conditions do
rot warrant any advance, they say,
and if the weaverS decide to go on an.
other strike, they will have to meet
it as best they can. Current opinion
is much against a strike Business
men are strongly opposed to the weav.
ers' action in keeping up a ceaseless
agitation and say that they will not
support another strike as they did
last year. On the other hand the
weavers argue that the mills are so
we'll sold ahead at the present time
that they will be compelled to grant
slight advance in order to fulfill
their contracts.

"The Ninety and Nine

The auditorium of the First BaptiSt
church was we'll filled with an au-
dence to hear Rev. Ross Moore
preach on tho subject Of ssThe Ninety
end Nine" His text was the fourth
fifth and sixth verses Of the fifteenth
chapter of Luke:
"What man of you, having hun
cred sheep, if he lose one of them
doth not leave the ninety and nine in
the wilderness, and go after that
which is lost, until he find it? And
when he hath found it. he layeth it
on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when
he cometh home, he calleth together
his friends and neighbors. saying unto
them, Rejoice with me: for I have
found my sheep which was lost.
The speaker began by saying that
the Bible abounds in beautiful I'M
agery and pictures of far greater
force and beauty than found in any
ether book of this or any past age.
and the parallels of the lost sheep,
the lost coin. and the prodigal son.
were three of the most beautiful WORD
pictures to be found in the Bible.
Christ understood human nature. and
used parallels or illustrations so sim
ple that a child could understand
them, and he gave these literal pic
lures that all might be able to COM
prehend The parable used as text
he said was a parable of Gods great
grace and love. 1t made the sinner
stand out prominently in his condi-
ton of wretchedness and poverty. On
the other hand could be seen the
grace and love of Christ and his un-
bounded sympathy for the sinner
Rev. Moore said that to hear a gospel
sermon draws a person nearer to
Christ or puts him farther away, and
that every opportunity to hear Cos
pei sermon was an honor to sinner.
He SAID that he often wondered If
every Christian man Or woman had
ever thought that if loved one was
lost that it meant eternity in hell
'Did you know" he said, "that if Sa-
tan holds that boys or that girls
heart till death he holds that boy
or that girl through eternity
The parable of the sheep going
astray was an illustration of an ex
change from safety to unsafety, from
plenty to want. The sheep was so
long from the fold, and SO long with
out care, that when found it's strength
was we'll nigh gone, and it had to be
carried in by the shepherd. 1t was
only one poor lost sheep, but he sent
for his neighbors to come to his
home and rejoice with him. Some of
the neighbors said: "You have
ninety and nine which went not
astray, so why should you rejoice over
the one? Why not rejoice over the
ninety and nine?" The reply was that
the ninety and nine had not gone
astray, and the rejoicing was for the
lost one. It is the same with the SIM
full boy Christ is the good shepherd
of the text, and he has followed his
lost sheep for all the years of their
lives, ready to save them and return
them to the fold Finally it will be
too late and the sinner will be left
alone in the brambles and thistles of
