INSPE CTOR SURPRISED
AT CHICKASHA'S GAIT

Postoffice Inspector Lindland Of To-
peka, Kan. who has been in Chicka-
sha the past week, expressed his sur
prise at the phenomenal growth Of
business in the postoffice during the
past year.
Mr.. Lindland inspects the city let
ter carrier districts of Oklahoma.
Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, add
ing new carriers as the growth of
the city and the business demands.
Until eighteen months ago, Chicka-
sha had only four carriers. Two more
were then added and although the
areas of the districts which they COW
cred have not been increased. SO
steady has been the growth of the
town and so compact is the residence
portion becoming, that the work is
now too heavy for six men.
The increase in revenue is proper
tionate and from all indications the
inspector will recommend that another
carrier be allowed in Chickasha. Mr.
Lindland returned to Topeka this
morning.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR
BIG PACKING HOUSE

I'VE are very much encouraged by
the outlook and feel that chickasha's
prospects for landing the big packing
plant are very bright" said J. r. Aber-
erombie, president Of the Commercial
Club, ,sho, with H. B. johnson, re-
turned last night from Chicago.
mr. sulzberger, president and other
officials Of the S. & S. company, will
be here next week and have no doubt
that we shall be able to interest them"
he added.
Messrs. Abercrombie and johnson
went to Chicago for the express pur-
pose Of interviewing the packers and
to place before them the advantages
of chiekasha, and both are pleased
with the results Of their mission.
chickasha will have plenty Of com
petition, Ell Reno, klahoma CRY, Mus
kogee and Ft Worth now being in the
running, but she will be in a position
to show the packers a few things that
will cause them to take notice.
Mr.. suIzberger told the chckasha
representatives that the plant which
his company proposed TO establish in
the Southwest would cost at least
s75o,ooo, and probably 100000. In
their Chicago plant, which cost over
a million, 1000 workers are employed.

sprained ankle and was confined to

CONVICT RUFF
ON BRIBERY
CHARGE
Big Frisco Political Boss
Found Guilty on Third
Trial

San Francisco, Dec. 11.-Abraham
Reuf, former political boss of San
Francisco. was convicted yesterday OF
bribery. The verdict returned exactly
upon the stroke of o'clock when the
deliberations of the jury had been pro-
longed throughout period of twenty
four hours. The warnings of Judge
William P Lawlor and the vigilance
of the police checked all attempted
demonstration.
The trial, which has been in prog
ress for LOG days, eLded with surpris-
ing abruptness. The hopes Of Ruef
and his attorneys had risen with every
hour Of delay and the adherents of
the prosecution were proportionately
discouraged With numbers and inter
est undiminished, the hundreds Of
spectators who have clung about the
court room during the closing days of
the trial, retained their seats in the
chamber or stood patiently in long
line opposite the entrane with a strong
detail Of police watching yigilantly
for the first sign of disorder inside
and patrolled every approach to the
hall. The jury had scarcely taken
their seats in the box before tie brief
proceedings were at an end. The
Judge glanced at the verdict and hand
ed it to Clerk Welch, who read it
aloud.

North West South High Colored

In the above report the eighth grade
is included in the High school. The
total enrolment at the end of the
third month last year was 1881, the
enrolment for the month was 1898
and the average daily attendance was
SOC against an average daily attend
ance Of 1,445 for the third month this
year. We consider the schools to be
in excellent condition, and the outlook
is very encouraging. The health Of
the teachers has been unusually good
this year-only three and one-half
days having been lost on account of
sickness. There have been more cases
of tardiness on the part Of pupils than
we like to see. Parents could do much
to correct this if they would but give
the matter the attention which it de-
mands.
Teachers are entitled to the SYM
pathy and cooperation of the parents.

of parents to the school authorities is

Assaulted
by Tenant

Henry Schaffer. one OF the most
prominent citizens Of El Reno and
well known here, had an unfortunate
experience at Cement last night. He
went TO that place for the purpose of
evlcting one of his tenants, who, 1t
seems, was pretty bad character
About o'clock Mr.. Schaffer was in
the hotel when his tenant entered and
without warning assaulted him with
a knife, making an ugly cash on his
face
Mr. Schaffer stopped over here this
morning on his way home and had his
wound dressed.

frequently the cause Of differences be-
tween teachers and pupils. In the ed
ucation Of the child the parent hast a
duty to perform as well as the teacher.
A suspicious parent can do more
damage than the best teacher can re-
pair. The parent should see to 1t that
the child is punctual and regular in
attendance. that II is clean and decent
ly clothed, and that the necessary
books papers and pencils are supplied
promptly. The parent should be slow
in condemning the teacher. We cor
daily invite patrons to visit the de-
partments Of the schools in which they
are interested, inspect the work in
dlvidually and get acquainted with the
teacher of their children. Visits by
parents to the teacher undertaken in
the right spirit should always result
in the promotion of their mutual in
terest. Very respectfully.
