GREAT RUN ON
THE MIDWAY
THE CARNIVAL is NOW DOING
A BIG BUSINESS
There IS MUSIC GALORE
geological Eden, North America,
Electric Theatre, are All in Full
Blast, and Crowded Nightly

The carnival grows good ON ac
quaintance, and there is a spirit O
June blossoms, June sweetness, Jun,
brides and June pleasures in the cit,
of Mlrth and Merriment that is be
ING conducted this week under tn,
auspices Of the Firemens Relic,
association
Thine carnival held by the New
Parker Amusement company is differ
ent from other carnivals, because il
Is conducted on a different plan
There Is more order. The racket of
hoins, the noise of unpleasant in
struments and the throwing of con
fetti is absent, and this makes the
pike or the midway or the trail, OF
whatever you may please to call it,
depending whether you were at Chi
cago, st. Loms or Portland, an in
viting place for ladies and children.
The street along which the attrac-
tions are placed, is crowded every
night and during parts Of each ar.
temoon, but it is not of the iostling,
rough crowd so often noticed ON such
occasions, but it is a jolly good natur-
ed lot Of ladies and gentlemen, and
young folk and children, who are
sharing with each other the cleanly
amusements that are offered and it is
a delight to be of them.
The brilliancy Of the Carnival City
is a feature. At every conceivable
point there is an electric light, and
the place is SO attractive one can en-
watch the pleasure seekers as the
wind in and out of the thoroughfare.
And there is music galore.
The Royal band makes music, and
there are all kinds of organs. The
finest is the $4,000 orchestrion that
plays for the Cary-Us-All. 1t is
equipped with reeds, horns pipes
and drums, and classical as well as
popular airs are executed with every
care as 10 musical and artistict exact
ness. At the Katzenjammer Castle
the organ plays "Hiawatha," until
you carry the tune away with you,
and there is another at the Electric
theater that turns out music by the
yard, And the shooting gallery has
good craftsmanship. There is bulls
eye that is inviting to a good shot,
and when the bell is rung the organ
plays a tune.
Last night the crowds were much
Iarger than on Tuesday. The good
reports of the many who visited the
attractions the opening night had
spread among the people of the com
nunity, and the pleasant words that
we're spoken in the World. reached a

hotels. He said the men all carried
punches of cheese cloth for towels.
He doubted the charge in the re-

PLEASED WITH NATURAL GAS
" Everybody Works but Professor
Heitz, and He Sits Round All Day"


The natural gas supply of Tulsa

them, at least,
As is known, the New Parker Am,
usement company carries its own elec-
tric light plans, the big combination

in charge of Professor Heitz. who in
winter quarters is the instructor of
engineering at the Parker factories
for those students who enroll them
selves for service with the c. w. Par
ker enterprises. On the present tour
of Texas and Indian Territory, Prof.
Heitz has had to use all kinds of coal
In some towns it was scarce because
of the strike, and the local supply was
hugged close. In places he has had
the good, in others the bad, but it was
all smutty, dirty, smoky coal, and it
kept him in overalls and Jumpers all
the time.
Not so in Tulsa.
The professor of engineering is u.s.
ing natural gas. The connection was
made to his engine on Cincinnati
street. the burner was put in, and he
now sits in an easy chair, smoking his
pipe of clay Every body works but

THE RANSOM
OF BILLY
BY W. J. B. Moses.

NOTE-The author of this beautiful
story from the January number of st.
Of Dayton, Secretary Of the prain image
convention.
Arthur was very little boy and Bill
ly's brother. He was also brother to
the twins, both girls, who were older
than Billy. Billy was a very lively
boy with most wonderful imagin-
alton. but Arthur believed every word
that Billy said. Mrs. Norton who was
the mother of the twins and of Billy
and of Arthur, and who was widow,
lived in a tiny frame house just back
of the large stone stable of Judge Co.
the hill. Billy's mother was often pro-
voked by his mischief, but except when
she was very very tired with the wash
ing which formed her chief source of
income, she knew that there was
really no harm in him.
On the day when Billy picked up
strap from the road at the foot of
Judge Corad's hitching post and
was pursued to the door of his
own dwelling by the irate coach
man who happened to want the
strap, she was tired and out of
humor, and she added her own proph-
ecies of awful things that would be-
fall Billy if he continued to take
things he was not sure did not belong
to someone else.
Billy, whose imagination was set
working by the reproaches of his
mother and of the stableman. went
into hiding in secret cave construc-
ted in closet of the upstairs part of
the house, where Miss Simpson,
sewing girl and Mrs. Norton's one
ledger kept her scanty supply of coal.
Here then Billy darkly ensconced him
self as he imagined that the officers
of the law, under the orders of the
powerful Judge COrad, would soon
come in search of him to carry him
away to years of captivity. And from
the depths of his retreat he conveyed
instructions in sepulchral whispers
through the key-hole to the woe-laden
Arthur concerning the necessity of Sc
crecy, even in the event of torture, and
concerning also supplies of food and
water to be conveyed to him if he
should be put in prison. Billy fell
asleep and SO played his part longer
than he would otherwise have done
came quickly. Just as the night be-
swelled to bursting with utter misery.
he bethought himself and inquired
from his mother whether there were
not some way in which Billy's fate
could be averted. The good lady ut
terly unaware of the horror that
dwelt in the soul of the little one, and
equally unconscious of the melodram-
attic actions of Billy and his where
abouts. felt that it would not he wise
to spoil good lesson by saying that
Billy would not be troubled by the
officers at all; and SO she told Arthur
that perhaps if some one were to go
and pay Judge Corad for the strap
that Billy hal taken, he would let him
of. But she ended with question as
to where the money was to come from,
which implied that she herself could
not furnish it.
Now Arthur's ideas of the value of
money were somewhat vague, but for
some months he had been gradually
accommodating a hoard for Christmas
This money consisted of dime.
nickle and five copper cents and was
the source of many very happy dreams.
