The Chickasha Gas Co. is now sell

COTTON MILL MEETINCA MYTH

It is evident that the people Of
Chickasha are wide-awaks and deep
" in earnest on the cotton mill ques-
tion and with this spirit they are
bound to succeed Daily Express.
The above paragraph appeared in
the Express yesterday. An announce
ment has also beea run for several
days that cotton mill meeting would
be held yesterday afternoon. 1t is
very humiliating to this dispenser of
intelligence to confess that it has been
guilty Of perpetrating a hot air story
upon its readers but candor impels il
to make the confession. IT was al
mistake there was no cotton mil
meeting and the editorial remark
quoted above appears to have beer
without any foundation in truth.

Mr, Humphrey that when the new
comers to the city take to gas much
more readily than the older inhabi-

Chickasha every day and the first
thing they do is to make a break for
the gas office. We expect the con.

as the people become better acquainted
with its use and realize its convenience
and economy"

was out of town and it appears that

became disgusted and closed up shop

Des Moines, Iowa.

The weather conditions du-
ring the past week were more
favorable than in the proceed
ing two weeks, though the ave-
rage daily temperature was
about six degrees below the nor
NAL, and the precipitation was
very light in all districts. There
were several moderately warm
days, but the nights were alb
normally cold, with frost, ice,
snow and sleet in evidence at
numerous statious in the state.
The month as a whole is likely
to score a record as one Of the
coolest Aprils ever known in
this valley.
Conditions have been unusu-
ally favorable for field work,
and very good progress has been
made in blowing and preparing
ground for planting. The soil
is in fine filth, and reports are
at hand that some farmers have
ventured to begin planting corn.
Vegetation has made very little
growth, and it is difficult to es-
innate the amount of damage
resulting from freezing. Many
farmers have reseeded oats in
early sown fields.

ladies concluded to have a

dred and thirty-two boys
brought to Five Points, the
business center of Trenton, to-
day and stacked around the
town hagpole $4,000 old tin
cans. A committee from the
Trenton Clean City club met
them, received the cans and
paid the boys 5000 for cleaning
up the alleys and streets. This
was the first enterprise pro-
NOTED by the organization,
which was organized by the
Women's club, includes all citi-
zens and is devoted to making
the town cleaner and more at.

Cash Register Stolen

The cash register in the rail
road eating house was stolen
last night sometime before
midnight. There were two
night men at the restaurant,
but happened to be in the
kitchen at the time the thieves
entered. There was no money
in the register, which was very
lucky. The thieves were
tracked under cars to the old
slough hole where they had a
buggy. Manager Goodwin was
not at the restaurant, as he
goes home at 7::30 and did not
know of the event until this
morning, when he with Mar
shall Butcher tried to find
where the thieves had gone.
1t is thought they drove to
Council Bluffs where they will
dispose of their booty. They
did lots of hard work for the
amount of money and presume
that Missouri Valley will be
given a wide berth by gentle
men looking for loose change.
