to decide these events and Monday November 30 and Tuesday December l are the dates which have been se- leced.
 The big treat of the year the an- nual international six day bicycle race is the next on the programme. On Saturday night following the A, A. U. championships card Of short distance races will be dashed out as a sort of appetizer for the week s
 long grind. The stars of Europe and
 America will appear in these races in sprinting events and also In open
 races over distance of ground and
 behind motor pace. On the follow ing evening which Is Sunday, the
 doors of the garden will be open at 7:SO and sacred concert by Bayne's famous 69th Regiment band will entertain the huge multitude
 which will assemble to see the start of the six day race one minute after
 midnight. From fifteen to twenty teams will line up at the tape for the pistol shot and it can safely be
 said that never in the history Of cycle racing has such a famous and speedy collection of riders been
 brought together. Coming from all
 parts of the world they will make a sensational battle to carry off the honors in the big race. Following
 the six day race the programme of indoor events runs throughout the winter with a list of indoor base ball games, indoor football, bowling tournament and probably several
 more important running races upon the order of the Dorando-Hayes Mara thOn

London after the Italian had been helped and pushed past the judges, in a race over the full Marathon dis tance, 26 miles 1885 yards. The in terest in this event in New York and in fact throughout the entire country is stupendous. The rush for reserv- ed seats which were placed on sale at the garden last Friday has never been equalled in the history of in- door sports.
 The next evening, which is Thanksgiving night, an international wrestling match between two of the greatest men in the world will be staged. The sultan's facorite, Yus- siff Mahmout, was recently brought to this country for the purpose of meeting Frank Gotch for the world $ championship. The reputation of the Turk had evidently travelled before him as Gotch made all sorts of excus- es to avoid the match and finally when crushed to the wall took boat for London where reports say he is matched to meet Hackenschmidt the Russian Lion, next spring. Mean while Tom Jenkins, who is probably the greatest wrestler this country ev- CT produced, he having held the championship for twelve years, took up the gauntlet which the Turk had thrown down. Jenkins himself has been after return match with Gotct ever since the latter beat him when he was sick man and when the Turk boasted that he had chased Gotch got out of the country ant : there was no man in America wht would meet him, it became unen durable to Tom and he stepped t' the front and challenged finish con test which will take place nex Thursday, Thanksgiving night, No vember 26. Following close on thu heels of this wrestling match com' the A. A. U athletic championships The entries this year have been s' large that it will take two nights

DORANDO AND HAYES MEET
They Agree on Officials for Race in
 Madison Square Garden.

Dorando Pietri and John J. Hayes, with their managers and advisers, met yesterday to arrange the details of the race to be held in Madison Square Garden next "Wednesday night. The Hoffman House was the scene of the meeting and the situa" tion was funny enough, as neither understood the others language. They shook hands, however, and looked each other over, and it was noticed that the Italian looked little more fit than the American Dorando had his brother along, and in the same party was Signor Stef- fani and Jack Lee. Hayes was ac- companied by MT Bell, his manager. When the question of a referee came up Hayes suggested Mayor McClel- Ian or James E. Sullivan, president of the A. A. U. It is not known what the mayor would think of such a job and Sullivan said a couple Of days ago that he would have nothing to do with the race It is more than likely that Tim Hurst will fill the position. The judges, scorers, sponge holders, doctors and attend ants were agreed to. For Dorando Chevalier A. Barsotti will be judge. F. Anegoni will be scorer, Drs Ras- telli and Righi his medical advisers, E. Bagni and Dorandos brother, Nepiano, will be his track attend ants. Al Copland, trainer of the Princeton track team, will score for Hayes and Sergeant-Major Cherry will be his doctor. while George Cameron and E. Hjertberg will be his sponge holders. Mike Murphy will be judge for Hayes. ....-
 Dorando shifted his training quar- ters yesterday to the Pastime A. c. where he will do his morning gal lops, and he will take to the road in the afternoon. Hayes is doing his work at the American Stock Ex- change

The Wonderful Aphis.

The aphis is in one way the most startling of all forms of insect life, for, although the females can and de lay eggs. it's usual method of increase Is by sort of budding process. the young growing on the bodies of the parent exactly as brussels sprouts grow out of tae stalks of the plant. The old produce young at the rate of twenty-five a day, and as the young are at once mature each can produce It's twenty-five on the following day. It positively frightens one to work this multiplication out to a conclu- sion, for it means this: Supposing that the aphide could increase and multiply without interference, the twenty-ffth generation would be number too long to quote here. Put down a 1 and fol- low it with 2s naughts and you will be within few millions of it.

Arithmetic Made Easy.

The class in business arithmetic iA one of the evening schools is made up wholly of men who wield the pickax and push the shovel during the day. These men are ambitious to improve their minds. and the fact that they give up their evenings to study shows that they appreciate the value of trained mind. But they are pathetically stupid in some things.
 "On the first evening" said the teach. CT. "I asked the class. How much is six times. twoT There was no appar- ent desire to shirk the question. but no amount of head scratching or knitting of brows could bring forth an answer
 "Tll put the question in anotiiAr way said I. Suppose your boss is paying you at the rate of $2a day, how much do you get at the end of a weeks workr
 Every man had his hand up. Twelve dollars said one in the first row.
 These men can think in dollars and cents quickly enough said the teach CT, but figures are Greek to fthem.r-l New York Press.

 The boy stopped, and the spell was broken. but another lad broke the si- lence.

 She had removed her glove, and one bare hand rested white against the white of the rah. Her face was turn ed from him, and she was looking out across the sound, pretending an inter- est in one of the winking beacons whose lights she could not see through her tears.
 The young musician ended his tune and without pause began to play an- other, a farewell song that had been familiar to Behman since his child hood
 He knew that it was a favorite of Nell's, and he wondered if the song would make her speak. There was a lift to the fragile shoulders, as though she was holding back her sobs. but she gave no sign of being aware of his presence.
 The music paused abruptly in the middle of a strain. as the mother of the player came to call him to bed. and with a shout the little party hurried into the cabin

compelled to produce the usual fine
and warned to either stay sober ot

TURNER STILL At LARGE
MURDERER OF M'CUMBER STILL
ElUDES SHERIFF AkER'S
POSSE.

Frank Turner, who shot and kill.
ed Mr.. McCumber Saturday after
noon, is still at large. When asked
about the matter this morning, Sher
if Akers said he had no doubt but
that Turner would be caught in a
few days, as the force of deputies
are watching for him. and it is
thought that he is still hiding in
the thicket near where the killing
occurred.
The place where Turner is sup
posed to be hiding is so thickly
covered with small timber and vines
that 1t is almost impossible TO get
through on foot and Turner. being
well acquainted with the country,
gives him the advantage of the
deputies. But Mr.. Akers says that
he is so sure of his plans that
he has no doubt hut that Turner
will he in the tolls before many
days.

main leading from the lake to the
water tower is given protection at a
point in the road between those plac-

will be passing over this road the

such a thing occur the city would be

The merit Of improved cotton seed
and the benefits to be derived by far.
mers in planting 1t are eloquently
shown by two samples OF cotton
grown near Stringtown, Atoka county,
which have just been received by the
Ardmore Commercial club which has
taken so much interest this season
in getting the farmers of southern
Oklahoma to plant an early matur-
ing cotton. Both varieties were plant
ed at the same time but there is "a
marked difference in time of matur-
ity as we'll as quality.
one is a small seed cotton which
was introduced into this section th,-
year from Mississippi and was known
as Youngs improved. 100 days being
allowed for its maturity In this case

planted May II and maturcd ON Aug

The 9th variety is a large seed
sort and maturcd in loo days being
picked ON August 81.
Comparing the two it is found that
the small seed sort has a longer sta
pie and the fiber is silkler, apparent
ly It would also dcl,nt more than the
larger seed cotton. These should be
considered as strong points in lis IA
vor.
The Young cotton was introduced
at the instance of Special Agent W.

Agriculture and was used entirely or
the demonstration farms established
by him in this section this year.
