OKLAHOMA FARMERS
HUNT WILD DOGS TO DEATH

Oklahoma City, Oct. S.-Farmers
owning stock or trail hounds in Logan
county, two.or three miles south of
Guthrie, @. T., have been enjoying a
novel and exciting sport the last two
three weeks in running down and kill
ing a pack OF wild dogs. Four years
ago a farmer who moved from the
neIghborhood left behind at his aban-
doned cabin a female hound, The
latter made 40 effort to find another
home and sooR ran wild.
In the two succeeding years she
rlised two litters Of pups, in allSfour-
teen. The mother and her family
lived as one family, and as the pups
grew bigger and bigger farmers be-
gan losing pigs and poultry and Young
calves. There ale many wolves in
this portion of Oklahoma, and it was
suspected that some Of the dogs had
wild fathers, which is not unusual.
The pack, led by the mother, grew
so bold that several times it attacked
negroes returning from the cotton
fields, and was driven of with great
difficulty. The negroes became so
alarmed that many Of them would not
venture away from their homes at
night. The dogs seemed to find much
sport in pursuing domestic dogs, even
packs Of trail hounds, and were nu-
merous enough to make the fight one
sided.
The losses became so heavy that sew
eral hunts were organized and the
pack was finally destroyed, but not
until they had made it lively for the
hounds put or their trail.

THE new STATE FAIR
First Exhibition Opened Last Satur-
day at Oklahoma City With
Flattering Prospects.

j.
The first annual etate fair OF Okla
homa opened at Oklahoma City on
Saturday, October s. Speeches were
delivered by C. G. Jones, president OF
the fair association, Goyernor-slect G.
N. Haskell and others.
The first day was set apart as ''chil-
dretrs day. and there was a good at
tendance of these and older persons.
The placing of exhibits could not be
completed before the opening day, yet
the buildings and grounds were ia
very good condition. considering the
fact that nine weeks before the open
| ing the 100 acres inclosed by the big
fence was unbroken prairie, and that
sunf0wers grew where the spacious
exhibition buildings now stand. These
buildings are permanent and are large
and well lighted. The only temporary
structures are in the Igorrote village
and among the tents Of the Indians,
which occupy space between the build
ings proper
All day Friday, inspite Of the al
most impossible stretch of newly
made road connecting the fair grounds
with the city limits, there was con-
stant procession of drays and hacks
carrying exhibits and exhibitors.
The directors of thefne arts, ne edle-
work and culinary departments could
not get helpers enough ito take care Of
the great quantity of articles brought
to them. The collection Of oil paint
ings, water colcrs, pastels and hand
painted china was large enough to do
credit to a much older institution.
Owing to the bad weather and the
mud, the live stock was not placed
until Saturday, nor we're the racing
horses taken to the grounds before
then.
The premiums offered are unusually
liberal and cover nearly every class of
production in the state. Purses for
the various races ranged from $50 to
s40O.
The fairhas temporarily lifted prices
in Oklahoma City. Eggs are soc. per
dozen, butter soc. pound and chick
ems 25c. a pound. The transfer and
dray men are holding the puplic up in
mastery manner, charging from
$3.50 to $3.50 fox delivering a single
package at the grounds.
By the time another rear has passed
the grounds will be in perfect condi-
tion, the people viii have had time to
grepare exhibits. and as the fair be-
comes more widely known it will prove

Arizona pIsIlkes Children.

"Talk Of children not being wanted
in New York apartmentsl exclaimed
city woman who has recently re
turned from a two years residence in
southern California. why, Arizona
is the worst place in that respect that
| have ever happened to visit. You
can hardly find any one there who will
rent you a house if you have children.
We tried various towns in the state,
but there were no abiding place open
to us because of our three little olive
branches.
I'VE should have liked to settle in
Tucson, but not a landlord would have
US. Finally we had to give up and 80
to southern California, where they are
not so hard hearted Wouldn't you
think that a new country like Arizons
would be glad to have settlers with
children, who would help to build up
the region? But it doesn't seem to
be so. l think somebody ought to call
the presidents attention to this alarm
ing condition of things in one Of the
newest parts Of the union"

"A BIG INSTITUTION
Commercial Club HOlus Important
Meeting To Work to Have
Asylum Located at Vinita.

When a reporter for The Chieftaln
called at the Commercial club rooms
this mo ming he found Secretary Lee
jubilant over the prospect Of the state
insane asylum being located at Vinita.
Mr.. Lee, having resided for num-
ber of years at Nevada, Mo, where
one of the largest asylums in that
state is located, is somewhat familiar
with the magnitude of such an insti-
tuition and the benefits to be derived
from its location In community. In
the first place, it means the erection
Of builds that would COST in the aggre-
gate thousands Of dollars, give employ
ment to a large number Of officers,
clerks and attendants, besides the feed
ing and clothing of hundreds Of in
mates.
No town In the new state has better
advantages to offer such an institution
than has Vinita, her fine climate,
convenient location and splendid min
eral water affording special induce
ments in her favor The state will
of necessity build such an institution,
and Vinita should have it. Imagine
yourself looking overon Jordan HIP
and seeing a magnificent building,
three or four hundred feet long, sur
rounded by beautiful lawns, managed
and cared for by small army of saia-
ried people and several hundred inr
mates Stop and think what all this
would means to Vlnita; and remem-
ber that when once located here u
would be a permanent fixture for all
time to come. Factories and other
enterprises may come and go, but the
asylum would remain with us, and
would mean the expenditure OF twenty
or thirty thousand dollars each month";
all Of which would be spent right here
among our own people.
The Commercial club is enthusiastic
in its efforts to secure the location o.
this institution in Vinita, and should
receive the hearty cooperation o.
all loyal citizen.

The Oklahoma Constitution is Being
Got in Shape for Final DISPOSE
tion by President Roosevelt.

Washington, Oct. Especial J AS
sistant Attorney General Woodruff Is
making a digest of the Oklahoma con-
stitution for the use OF Secretary OF
the Interior Garfield when he takes
up the statehood question with Presi-
dent Roosevelt after the bear hunt.
The opinion wiM deal with the ques-
tion as to whether the constitution IS
republican in form. Mr.. Woodruff de
clines to tell what his opinion to the
secretary of the interior will be.
Amy newsconcerning the Oklaiao-
ma constitution must come ffom the
PRESIDENT, - said he. ''If he approves
the constellation, that settles it. II
he doesn't it will be for him to give
his reasons why. 1t would be out ~of
place for me to rush into print with
any observations on the thing"
Secretary Garfield is also mum 'on
the subject. However the impression
prevails that the president will sign
the constitution.

Il don't know where there is a

river, according to telegram from
the State Cror Pest Commission to
Governor Blanchard. In the de-
structive migration of this pest east
ward for several years past across
all Texas and Louisiana, the Missis-
sippl river has been the most inter-
esting milestone to cotton interests
and to scientists, who declare the
great river will prove no barrier and
will not stop the advance Of the
costly pest into the eastern cotton
belt. Today's news is regarded as
1t entirely probable that the

Will RETAIN THE HONOR.

Some of the half baked democrats
and whole-souled populists who
have been discussing the probability
Of Hon. John Sharp Williams being
deprived Of the minority leadership
al the coming session OF congress
and The wish in this instance has al
ways been father to the thought
will learn with some sorrow that the
brilliant Yazoo statesman is abso-
lutely assured Of retaining his post Of
honor in the greatest lawmaking
body in the world, says the Jackson
News.
More than 100 members Of the
sixtieth congress, on the democratic
side OF the house, have affixed their
signatures to a document pledging
themselves to make John Sharp
Williams the minority leader OF the
house. That is about two-thirds of
the democratic membership and in
sures the selection Of Williams as
the candidate for speaker and gives
him the same position he has held
for four years. He will name the
minority members Of the committees
and control the minority as he has
done in the past. AT the end of the
present congress Williams will step
out and there can be another minori-
ty leader or a democratic speaker in
the event the democrats should car
ry the house. All signs point to
Champ Clark, of Missouri, as the
man who will be selected. He will
probably have nearly all the sup
port of the Williams contingent and |
quite large number Of others who
10 not like Williams as leader.
