Washington.-In the presence OF
President and Mrs. Roosevelt, the
Vice-President and Mrs. Fairbanks,
the justices of the supreme court and
their wives, several senators, repre-
sentatives and other distinguished
guests, Miss Edith Root on Wednesday
became the wife of Ulysses Simpson
Grant Sd, Lieutenant United States
Engineer corps.
The wedding was generally recog-
nized at the capital as being the Sec
ond in social and official Importance
that has taken place during the Roose-
velt administration, there being only
less interest in the marriage than in
that which centered about the mar
riage of Miss Roosevelt to Mr.. Long
worth.
The bride is the only daughter OF
Secretary of State and Mrs. Elihu
Root, while the groom, as everyone
knows from his name, is the grandson
of General Grant, his father being

Present at the wedding were Elihu
Root, Jr., and Miss Aida Stryker,
daughter of DR.. M. Woolsey Stryker,
president of Hamilton college. Mr.
Root, who is the Oldest son of the
secretary of state, will marry Miss
Stryker just ten days from the day
that saw his sister married to Lieu
tenant Grant.
The Invitations to the wedding were
restricted as far as Washington was
concerned to the persons who must
be invited" The local invitations were
about $50 in number and they includ-
ed Only the closest family friends and
those persons who hold such official
nositions that they had to of neces-
sity be invited to be present.
The out-of-town invitations greatly
outnumbered those given in Washing
ton. but there were comparatively few
of the out-of-town guests present. The

he then spent four years in state
military school founded by Empress
Maria Theresa. He entered Columbia
college in New York on his return to
the United States and was graduated
in 1898, when he at once joined his
father in Porto Rico, where he had
his first experience in warfare. At
the end of year he entered West
Point, graduating sixth in his class OF
1902. He was ordered at once to the
Philippines, where he did good service
for three years, and, returning to the
United States, was ordered to Wash
ington barracks.

lands of wonderful capacity, oil wells,
asphalt beds of great worth, and all
of these practically undeveloped, to
say nothing of the vastness of her op-
portunities to the tiller of the soil.
The story of the rise of two dozen
other Oklahoma cities with popula-
tions exceeding 10000 is almost
synonymous with that of the rise of
the metropolis. Such cities as Guth-
rie (the state capitaD, with $4,000
population; Tulsa lin the center of
the oil fields), with 10000 population;
Muskogee, Ardmore, Lawton, Shaw
nee, Enid, South McAlester, Vinita
and Ell Reno are battling enthusiastic
cally for commercial supremacy, and
present indications are that all these
cities will grow and prosper, each
supported mainly by those farm lands
for which it is the natural outlet to
market. The casual reader may won
der how so many large cities can be
supported by mere farms. The fact
is that Oklahoma has $500 farms,
most of them worked by their owners,
for hundreds of thousands of Ameri-
cans have invested their small saw
ings in Oklahoma land and are getting
rich with the state by tilling the SOIL
Six out of every ten farmers in Okla
homa own their own homes. Most of
them live upon the land them home
steaded. Landlords are rare in Okla
homa.

of Mrs. Potter Palmer of Chicago.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. DR.. Stryker of Hamilton college,
who was for several years the pastor
of the Fourth Presbyterian church at
Rush and Superior streets, Chicago,
and who was a college friend of Sec
retary of State Root, friendship that
is to be made the closer by the mar
riage of the secretary's son to the
college presidents daughter.
The tying of the bonds united two
young people who are very much in
love with each other. There is not a
whisper in any quarter that position
OF name had the least thing in the
world to do with the engagement.
The former Miss Root has always
rather Stunned the gayer life of the
capital, and Lieutenant Grant has
never been any too fond of it. He is
studious, and so is his bride and both
are of domestic inclinations. 1t was
good old-fashioned American wed,
ding, with Cupids heart engaged in
every detail.
The cards of invitation to the wed

Purchase states were being populated,
Oklahoma remained for 80 years
wild Indian camping ground.
Passing of the Indian.
AS recently as 35 years ago the
American people generally knew Of
Oklahoma only as haunt Of Indians
and hunting ground for big game.
Early in the eighties white settlers,
who had overrun Kansas and the new
middle west states, began to investi-
gate Oklahoma. They found the new
territory rich and appealed to the
government for the opening of it to
settlement. The government did not
readily act upon the request, and
many of these whites, becoming impa-
tient, entered the reservation forcibly
and set up their homes. They were
driven out, but repeatedly renewed
their efforts, and many clashes with
soldiers occurred.
But these pioneers, then looked
upon by the government as outlaws,
finally persuaded congress to open
Oklahoma to settlement. Hence, the
names of these same outlaws" have
been immortalized in Oklahoma his
tory.
At the time of the opening all of
Oklahoma, except that portion taken
from Texas in the Greer county bound
ary dispute and the narrow strip be-
tween Kansas and Texas, extending
to the Colorado and New Mexico lines,
was included in the Indian Territory.
Oklahoma territory, which was held
by the government for the use of the
Indians, but had never been assigned
to any tribe, consequently consisted
in those days of only about 100000
acres. There occurred the first great
rush for homes, which brought into
existence Oklahoma City. From time
to time the government transferred
other portions of land from the Indian
| Territory to Oklahoma territory for
settlement by whites, until, when the
Oklahoma-Indian Territory statehood
bill passed, all that remained of In
dian Territory were the reservations
of the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Chero-
kee, Creek, Seminole and Quapaw
tribes.

PLAQUES of Nerve Sufferers.

There is a class of well-defined
"phobias," as they are called, with
which nerve sufferers are plagued.
"Monophobia," or fear of being alone;
"castrophobia," or fear of closed-in
crowds or of broad open spaces; I'm

Oil Fields Are Rich.

Oil Fields Are Rich.
Some of the richest oil fields In
America are in Oklahoma. The Glenn
Pool oil district, south of Tulsa, be-
tween Red Fork and Mounds, has be-
tween $50 and 500 producing oil wells,
with a total capacity of 100000 bar
rels day. The first of these wells
was sunk in December, 1905. Pipe
lines have been constructed for the
transportation of this oil to the Texas
seaboard and to the refineries at Whit
ing, Ind. More than $10,000,000 has
been invested in tanks, pumping sta
tions, and pipe lines in Tulsa county.
Eastern Oklahoma, which is not so
uniformly even as the western portion
of the state, produces more than
100000 tons of coal year, for
which it's mines receive about $6,OOO,-
900. The coal field extends from the
vicinity of Tulsa on the north to the
Texas line on the SOUTH and is more
than 100 miles broad. The state con-
tains about $50 coal mines, employing
about 10000 operators.
The principal rivers Of Oklahoma,
all of which flow toward the south
east, are, naming them from north to
south, Arkansas, Salt Fork, Cimarron,
North Canadian, South Canadian,
Wachita and Red.
The government acquired what is
now Oklahoma more than century
ago under the terms of the Louisiana
Purchase. Early in the century the
government set this land apart for
the segregation of the various Indian
tribes, then being driven west by the
advance of white settlers. Hence,

other buildings, two of wood, devoted
to engineering work, and two devoted
to the anatomical laboratory.
The other advanced public educa-

agricultural and mechanical college,
three state normal schools, univer-
sity preparatory school, colored

substantial evidence of the intel

more, they have good schools, libra

Oklahoma has modern public

of land valued at $3O,OoO,OOO, the in
come from the rental of which
amounts to about 100000 per year;
and $5,000,000 paid into the school
fund by Indian Territory in lieu of
land, all of the 3,100,S75 acres being
in the former Oklahoma territory.
