Shows an Immense
Gain over 1900
Compares well with
Other Cities

According to the official report giv-
en- out by the chief census supervisor
at Guthrie last night Chickasha has 4
population og 1852 as compared with
S,209 in 1900, an increase Of Jas per
cent. Ward / Of Chickasha has 22S2
population; ward 2 has 2,215; ward
8 has l,438; and ward A has 1927.
This does not include the 22O popu
lation Of Highland Park, Scott Jones,
Rock Island, Askew, Hampton, Phil
lips and Sparks additions, annexed to
the city since July /.
Inasmuch as these additions are
as much part Of the city as any 9TH
er section, the real population Of the
city is to be found BY adding 22O to
the above total, which makes the num-
ber S,O82.
This is a considerable falling off
from the predictions Of the more san
guine population prophets and there
will no doubt be complaint from
many But while, in all probability,
some were missed, the figures are
doubtless not far from correct.
Mr.. Sanford, the district supervisor
at this place, said this morning: II
viii be pleased if all the enumerators
in the district do their work as well
as those did in Chickasha. Out Of six
ty complaints Of persons or families
missed that were reported to us, we
found only five whose names were not
on the books. We requested that all
omissions be reported to as and IN
yestigated in every instance to see
whether the persons who thought they
had been missed had been enumerated.
A number Of complaints were re-
ceiyed at the Express office, which
We're reported TO Mr. Sanford and in
every case the name was found on
the rolls.
The showing made by Chickasha
is very gratifying compared with 9th
er cities in the territory. Muskogee
where a population Of about twenty
thousand had been claimed fell to
l4,400, while Ardmore that had boast
Of about 10000 was forced to Be CON
tent with $500. The gain in Ardmore
was only 64 per cent while that in
Chickasha was double Ardmore's per
centage. The two McAlesters com
bined have a population Of 8146 and
here again Chickasha is far in the lead
in the per cent Of gain. Tulsa, ac-
cording to the official report, has
about $780, Chickasha is therefore
the fourth city in the territory in pop
llation and falls but little below the
second and third cities.
Other towns in Grady county have
population as follows: Alex, 224;
Bradley, 149; Minco, TBS; Ninnekah,

A SOURCE OF SATISFACTION.

When, a merry little Mollusk, I dis
ported in the brine,
I possessed no wild ambition in the
upper world to shine;
Sitting on a hunk Of coral OF reposing
in the mud,
I considered the salt water in my veins
as good as blood.
When I came to be a Reptile. crawl
ing all about the earth.
I had still no smallest inkling of aris-
tocratic birth:
Through my serpentine proportions no
ancestral warnings strobe
I was happy if, when hungry, I could
only catch a toad.
When I got to be a Monkey I was
vainer, I admit,
But my pedigree. as ever, did not
bother me a bit.
Whether Orang or Chfmpanzee had
contributed my charms
Was a thing of no Importance, as I
had no Coat of Arms.
But when I had evoluted to the animal
called Man,
A peculiar irritation in my Uranium
began.
And I learned with wondrous prompt
ness that the thing for me TO do
Was quickly to discover if my veins
ran red or blue,
Now. of course, I've quite forgotten
that my present manly shape
Ever wore the guise of Oyster. Ana
conda, or Of Ape.
Yet, whene'er l search the records, I
feel much inclined 10 think
Ny Progenitors are happy that there
is a Missing Link.

Large sums of money are no

and Immediately proceed with their Of
fetal visitations, which frequently in
volve globe circling journeys, and
sometimes, great exposure.
For the first time, the Hawaiian Mis-
sion is to be favored with an official
visit from the Rev. David H. Moore,
DD.LL.D.; who will arrive in time for
the annual session, and possibly re-
main some time after the conference,
visiting and inspecting the several sta
| tions in the islands.
A word concerning the good bishop
will enlarge a desire on the part of
our citizens to see and hear him dur
| ing his visit
He was born in Athens, Ohio, in 1888,
and has just turned his sixty-ninth
year. In 1860 he graduated from the
| Ohio University, and Immediately en-
tered the ministry of the Methodist
Episcopal church. During the war he
entered the service as a private in Co.
/ A, S7th Ohio Vol. Inf. He quickly rose
to the rank of captain in his own COM
pany, and was afterward promoted to
major and later, to Lieut. Col 125th
Ohio Vol. inf
At the close of the war, he turned
his attention to Christian education.
He became, in turn, president of Gin
cinnati Wesleyan College, Colorado
Seminary, chancellor of University of
Denver. In 1896, he was elected editor
of the Western Christian Advocate,
published in Cincinnati, which position
he held until 1900. In the general con-
ference of that year, he was called to
the episcopacy and given life tenure
of the highest office in the church. He
chose Portland as his episcopal resi-
dence and China, Japan and Korea,
as his field of operation; which super
vision, continued until 1904 Since that
time he has itinerated in several coun-
tries and jurisdictions. and will come
to us directly from holding the Georgia
conference, at Atlanta.
The extended public life of Bishop
Moore, has made him man of large
experience which serves him we'll as
an administrator and platform orator.
Aside from his perfect knowledge of
his own country, he has made two
tours of the world, gathering informa-
ton by the way which he is well able
to impart to others. He has been most
fortunate in opportunities which he has
been quick to grasp. Tt was his. to
witness the opening battle at Chemul-
20, between Russia and Japan, and
among other excellent addresses and
lectures he has prepared one, giving a
full and graphic description of the
opening engagement of the latest war.
A full program of the coming con-
ference will be published later and the
public informed concerning the lectures
and addresses to be given by the
bishop.

HUNG WITH A SHOESTRING.
Ole VigSfead Commits Suicide at
Grand Forks, Friday.

The body of Ole Ngstead, logger,
was found suspended by the neck to the
limb OF small tree last Friday alter
noon, and when found life was extinct.
Nigstead worked at one OF the camps
until Friday morning, when he got his
time and started for Aberdeen, and when
he got as far as Grand Forks, he took the
leather shoe string out of his shoe and
putting slip knot around his neck tied
the other end of the string to the limb
OF small tree, and throwing his weight
against the thong succeeded in hanging
himself. When found he was hanging
to the limb, his knees barely touching
the gronnd.
Deceased was about 80 yeaas of age,
was native OF Sweden, and member
OF the Order OF Eagles at Snohomish. 1t
is supposed that he became insane
through worrying about his brother who
was committed to the insane asylum
at Steilacoom, about three weeks ago.
The body is in the Bowes & Randolph
morgue, awaiting instructions from the
Eagles lodge at Snohomish.
