smiling cOuntenance and disposi-
ton as radiant as the rising sun.
From the moment he arrived on the
Rock Island until his departure for
Guthrie he was surrounded by par
ty OF friends who paid him homage
and incidentally discussed the salient
features of Oklahoma's new consti-
tuition, which is regarded as the best
state document in existence.
Murray was in a reminiscent mood
yesterday aud he cuatte5 freely with
his acquaintances who seemingly did
not tire OF his dissertation on the
