A fine audience listened to a splendid
lecture Monday evening at the Presbyter-
ian church, given by Frank Mcclure
Chaffee on the subject "Lean Folks I"
The lecture WAS really an unfolding Of
the language of Shakespeare describing
Cassins, where Caesar says "Cassins has
lean and hungry look; he loves no plays;
he hears no music; seldom he smiles;
such men as he never be at hearts ease."
In subject matters the lecture was brlm-
Jul OF sound philosophy and wholesome
practical truth 10 form II was condensed,
chaste and elegant; In illustration and
humor, 1t was unique, quaint and origin
al, q type Of lecture sure OF the largest
measure. of popularity and sure to win
out every time delivered. 1t is no ex.
travagancs Of speech to say that every
body who heard it was delighted, aud
ready to agree with the quite universal
verdict that 1t was one Of the richest en-
tertainments yet given 10 the city, and
too good to be missed II at all avoidabls
Chaffee will be greeted with large
audience II he ever returns to deliver
another lecture In this place.
Since the purchase of the Denver, Enid
and Gulf by the Santa Fe, rumors have
been floating thick aud fast as to the eff
feet the sale would have on the ex
tensions planned by the former owners
of the Oklahoma road. The most pre-
sistent rumor, aud which appears TO be
the best founded, is that the Santa Fe
people will proceed TO build to AlM from
the nearest point on the Enid ki0wa
line, aud from Alva build MS rapidly as
possible to connection with the main
line Of the Santa Fe at Lamar, Colorado.

anything OF this nature, but 1t Is easy to
see that existing conditions would
prompt still hunt policy in the building
OF such line. In the event that this
move Is not made, IL seems TO be practi-
cally certainty that the Santa Fe will
extend the D.. e. & G.. to Dodge City,
though 1t Is thought that the former
route will be followed. 10 either event,
the Santa Fe would have a cinch on
Colorado Oklahoma business both ways,
and would have short line from Den
yer and Pueblo to the gulf. The Santa
Fe is not the broken down recieyer.
laden road that 1t was few Yeas ago
1t Is In SPLENDID shape, and is following
an intelligent, aggressive policy. Its
guiding spirit recognizes that the time
to build 10 now, and that a delay Of
many months will mean the perpetual
loss of territory, at present unoccupied,
but which is valuable and will constantly
increase In value. Newton RaDubllcan
