thusiastic letter to .. W. Orr of the
Vinita railroad committee. Mr. Meek
er says that the prospects for the con-
struction are frightening every day,
He says it has been found that the
road can be financed by either one OF
two trnst companies.
At present the actual work is being
concentrated on that section Of the
line between Caney and Nowata. 1t
had been expected that the survey be-
tween these points would have been
completed before this time, but up to
the present this has not been done
the bad weather having greatly handi-
capped the surveyors. AS soon as the
survey reaches Nowata the party will
come on to Vinita, and the feasibility

statement on the floor of the conven-

Approached for Assistance

Of the route thru this city will be de-
termined.
Mr.. Meeker says that the towns thus
far approached for assistance have res
ponded with alacrity. Caney has
agreed to vote 100000 bonus and to
donate terminals and right of way
to the state line. Wann, where the
proposed road will cross the Katy's
Oklahoma division, has agreed to give
the company a half interest in forty
acre addition to the town, eight busi-
ness lots in the present town, depot
grounds and right of way thru the
town.
Nowata too is most anxious for the
building of the road, and has promis-

pointed for the purpose is now at
work there raising the bonus.

Kornegay D enou noes
His FeIIOW-MemberS
in Convention

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. IL Instead d of
the phrase Law is supreme, IL will be.
'Anachy is supreme in the new state
Of Oklahoma which will be written
in our constitution from the way in
which the delegates are drifting nowl"
This sensational declaration was
made by Delegate Kornegay, Demo
crat, of Vinita, upon the floor of the
constitutional convention yesterday.
A murmur of surprise swept around
the room as Mr. Kornegay continued
in bitter tones to denounce his asso-
ciates for their utter lack Of Intelligent
effort.
The incident occurred during a dis
cussion of proposition submitted by
Delegate Johnson to be Incorporated
in the bill of rights, The convention
had resolved itself into a committee
nf the whole and Mr. tombstone was
urging the adoption of his proposition
which provided that:
'sThe rights secured or reserved TO
the inhabitants, the persons, the peo-
pie, the electorate, or any particular
portion of either Of them, shall in no
case be extended TO include corpora
tions, public or private, and the per-
sonal rights secured to inhabitants
and citizens of the state Of Oklahoma
shall not confer immunity upon any
officer, director, manager, clerk, agent
or employe of any corporation in his
relations as such from full operation
Of the visitorial and inQuisitorial pow
ers of the state"
After considerable argument Judge
Maxey suggested that the whole mat
ter be recommitted to the committee
and there buried.
Delegate Kornegay was on his feet
in an instant and in loud tones said:
81 move to amend by making it in
cumbent upon the convention to set
tie this matter right here and now. /
further propose that we hold the
funeral or che proposition now and
that all the anarchists in this room be
buried at the same time"

had been championing the particular
clause made a number Of changes in
it so as to meet the demands Of labor.
Mr.. Hanrary in speech on the floor
of the convention said: 'MY friend
Asp tore a big hole IN the provision
proposed yesterday and which would
have given power to persons whom we
did not want to have it. heartily
endorse the amended provision offered
by Leahy.n
Mr.. Asp stated that the substitute
offered did not meet with his approval
but that if the laboring men were
satisfied with it he would vote for it.
The new provision reads; No per-
son or corporation shall import into
the state any person or persons for the
purpose of preserving the peace or
suppressing domestic violence; nor
shall any person or corporation en-
gagged in the business of common
carrier or mining independent of the
civil authorities u the state employ
within the state any person or persons
for the purpose of preserving the peace
or preserving domestic violence; pro-
yided, that nothing in this section
shall prevent railroad, express and
river transportation companies from
keeping armed guards on board trains,
steamboats, and barges to protect
property entrusted to them for safe
carriage, and the well-being Of pas
sengers; under such regulations asmay
be prescribed by law"
1t is reported here today that there
will be a compromise proposed in the
constitutional convention on the race
question. The matter has been
threshed ont In committees and
among the delegates for some time
past, and it has now practically as
sured that there will be no 'jim-crow"

Democrats during the late campaign.

Shortly after / o'clock this morning
the people of Centralia were reused
from their slumbers by the dreaded
cry Of fire. Flames were discovered
emanating from the rear end OF the
Centralia Mercantile company's store
and in an incredibly short time they
had communicated with the building
on the west occupied by the postotflce
and @. w. Miller's general store and
to the block Of stores on the east oc-
cupied by j. f. McCoy's grocery and
clothing store, j. H. Claussens groce-
ry store and residence and the Stand
ard office.
With a scarcity Of water and no or
ganized way Of fighting fire it was
plainly evident that the entire block
was doomed and the citizens who had
assembled directed their efforts to-
wards saving the contents. The
buildings were shells and highly in
flamable, consequently the flames
made such rapid headway that the
amount Of salvage is small compared
to the loss.
The loss as nearly as can beobtained
at the present writing is as follows:
Hargroye & Sons, two buildings,
S2, 900; no insurance.

with you that it is "a mighty good prece-
dent for any town 10 celebrate the birth
day Of SO good a citizen as "a man who
has lived eighty years, who has been
teacher for sixty years. and principal Of a
State normal school for forty-six years.
THE town does itself honor when it
celebrates a life as long and useful as
this. 1t ought to be proud OF "a soldier
who has rendered analogous service IN
war. and il should emphatically be proud
Of man who, as teacher, has done
such work-for no work can be more val
liable to a community than that Of a
teacher-and what better thing could a
town do than TO honor one of its sons
Who has done such work? Surely il is
unnecessary to say that every community
owes more 10 its teachers than to almost
any other set OF men or women.
The normal citizen Is q father or
mother. therefore the normal citizen must
feel from the standpoint az interest TO
those nearest and dearest 90 him or TO
her. no less than from tee standpoint Of
the State as a whole, the liveliest concern
for The future generation; and il is the
teachers who do more than any other
one set Of their fellow-citizens go deter
mine whether this future generation shah
do well or Ill.,
"a life such rs that which the town
of Walpole proposes 20 celebrate repre-
seuts an amount of usefulness To the COM
