TRAINMEN'S
GRAND BALL
Was a Great Social Event Large
Crowd Of Merry-makers "A
Complete Success

The annual ball Of Border Queen
Lodge No. 532, B. Of R. r., at con-
vention hall last evening proved to
be the notable social event that it
was expected to be. The railroad
boys never do things by halves and
on this occasion they fully sustained
their reputation.
From nine o'clock till late hour,
the great hall was gay scene, being
thronged with merry dancers who en-
tered thoroughly into the pleasure Of
the evening. Handsome programs
were used and they were filled in a
short time. Over seventy-five couples
were on the floor and with the splen-
did music furnished by the Chickasha
orchestra few cared to leave before
the strains Of "Home, Sweet Home
were heard.
During the evening delicious ics
cream and cake were served to all in
in the balcony of the hall and nothing
was left undone to make the evening
replete with enjoyment. The commot
tee on arrangements, the floor com
mittee and all who had a part in TIL
planning Of the affair are entitled Il
great praise and to be heartily con
graduated upon the success Of thei
efforts. The weather was very un
favorable, but despite that hindrance
Chickasha society and many from ou
Of town turned out in great number
and the event will be a memorable on
to all who were present.

new TOWNSHIP SELLS WELL
Big Pasture Visited by Fine Rain In
suring Good Crops

Eschiti, Okla. May sO-At the re-
cent sale Of town lots in the govern
ment townsite Of Esehiti in the XII
owa, Comanche and Apache reserva-
tion which was opened for settlement
in December, the first lot put up was
a corner lot in the business section
which brought S4eO. Lots in this
block range in price from S40O to S195
Residence lots ranged in price from
s5 to $40 on the outskirts to $40 and
$40 closer in to the business districts.
These prices are considered very
good considering the fact that the Wi
chita Falls and Northwestern rail
road missed the townsite about mile
and have their depot about two and a
half miles west, at Kell, where there
are a number of business house, in
cluding three banks, three lumber
yards, two general stores and sever
al other enterprises.
The Wichita Falls and Northwest
ern have condemned thirty-seven ac-
res Of lanl at Kell on which they have
Y, water tanks and terminals.
On account of the homestead lawl
special act Of congress under wihcI
the big pasture was opened for set
tlement, the railroad company is un
able to secure a title for the land ol
which to build their town for at leas
fourteen months.
A dry spell has prevailed in thi
country for the last month but wa
broken by heavy rain which bega
about s o'clock Thursday night an
continued without intermission ur
til noon Friday. This rain insure
a good crop on the sod that has bee
put in this year.

A FARMER'S
APPEAL
To the Farmers and Working People
to Ratify the Constitution

Elnor, Okla, May SO-To the farm
ers and labor organizations Of Okla
homa and Indian territories: We toll
ed hard for statehood; at last con-
gress gave us an enabling act, which
provided that we elect delegates to
write constitution for our state. We
elected these delegates, and you know
how faithfully they performed their
duty. They have given to US con-
stitution that will absolutely protect
our wives and children against the
avaricious greed Of the railroads and
other monopolistic powers. We do
not believe but know that we the peo-
pie, nave an unquestionable right to
vote on said document, and to say
whether or not it shall be organic law.
This right is being denied US. Let us
plead with you to rally irrespective Of
your politics around the constitution,
by meeting and organizing at every
school house, town and hamlet and
demand of Governor Frantz or W. H.
Murray, that this constitution be sub
mitted to us and the great masses of
the people, for our approval or re-
lection regardless Of any injunction
or decision against the document. This
constitution is null and void, in fact
dead letter unit it is adopted, by
the vote Of the people Of this state
and approved by the president Of tht
United States, therefore any decision
rendered by any court on this consti-
tuition, at this time must be and is
absolutely null and void. We are
| fighting the battle of our lives. Lei
us assert every bit Of the manhood
that lies within US, and demand the
rights that are due us as true Amer
lean citizens. Forget not that this
fight is between the great masses o.
the people and the avaricious greed o.
the great monopolies. Sh all we win oi
shall we lose? It is with US. If We
| lose We may rest assured that fol
many years to come we are to be pill
laged and robbed, as has been showr
by the statement Of the attorney gen
eral Of Oklahoma, who states that w
are paying annually in excessive
freight rates, to the railroads, the ne
sum of $4,0O0,0OO, and remember, a
he has also proven that we are beini
sheared annually to the tune Of mil
lions of dollars by the cotton seed oi
trust, lumber trust, coal trust an
other kindred combines. With tn
constitution promulgated in force, W
J will be able to protect ourselve
against this highhanded robbery. lie
me again appeal to you and plea
/ with you to organize, and organize a
J once; and let US demand our jus
rights and prove that we are nc
