Special ID INC Herald.


PITTSBURG, March 31.-The curios-
ity of r. S. Mills, manufacturer of
ST. Louis, to learn how the Thaw trial
was progressing recently created great
excitement in a Pittsburg newspaper
office.
Shortly after midnight a telegram
was received from Mills stating that he
would be aboard the Pullman car Man
haitian, attached TO the Pennsylvania
railroad train which would arrive at
$3.50 a. m, and asked that a reporter
meet him, saying that the meeting was
important. A reporter was assigned TO
meet the train and the paper held back
its last edition in expectation of a big
story.
When the reporter finally dug Mills
out of his bunk the man explained that
he merely wanted to know whether
Stanford Whites son had been placed
ON the witness stand.

garding the sale Of your house. It
seems you want to go away for a while.

little while longer, for you will soon
get a better price than you would have

This question was answered correct-

Thursdays Weekly

The Democrat man has
been informed that Thurs

was the high water mark in
Caddo county journalism.
We blushed becomingly and
didn't contradict the inform
ant, because he may have
been right. We are not ac-

free to say that Thursdays
issue is the best that the
present management has
done.
When we were severing
our connection with the
United States Indian Service,
we discussed our plans with
Agent Blackmon, whom we
count among our friends.
In talking over the circula-
tion feature of the Democrat
and how to grow, Mr.. Black
mon advised that our best
chance was in getting out
such a paper as the people
would want,-that this
would serve better in the
long run than all the can
vassing we could do. We
would fain have gotten out
the paper and canvassed al
so, but there were so many
difficulties to handle that we
were obliged TO choose one
of these alternates. We
chose then to put the work
