SENSATION
EXPECTED

Shawnee, okla, April 23.-All Shaw
nee is in a state of intense expec-
fancy over the grand jurys inyestiga-
tions OF the charges Of the Rev. Bulgin
against certain county and CITY Off
cials in which the California evangelist
alleges that they have been guilty Of
accepting bribes from bootleggers.
Reports from the inquisitorial body
of a sensational nature are looked for
momentarily. and information regard
ing its deliberations is eagerly awaited
b. all
No official report whatever has been
made by the grand jury and at noon
yesterday no indictments had been re-
turned published reports to the con
trary Notwithstanding
B. O. Johnson. the former distiller
and alleged bootlegger, was arrested
in San Antonio, and returned here as
a witness for the prosecution. but he
has not yet been indicted. though in
formation has been sworn against him.
it is said
Bulgin continues to draw immense
crowds TO his meetings. and his fol-
lowers pronounce the revival the most
successful in the history OF this sec
ton
Hundreds Of witnesses are being ex-
amined by the grand jury which was
called at the instance of the officers
under fire. and the inquiry into the
bribery charges is said to be most
searching Il is freely predicted that
indictments viii be returned against
some Of the parties connected with the
scandal

NOT A BEAUTY SHOW.

To describe Elmer Walters original
"Old Maids Convention" at a beauty
show would be going from the sublime
to the ridiculous, but their parody ses-
sions on woman rights. etc, will per-
haps furnish the visitor with more
genuine fun than most musical come
dies. The idea is truly original If
nothing more can be claimed for it,
and as such, the Convention show
stands out eonspiculously among the
many truly remarkable attractions to
be seen with the Great Parker Shows
at Firemen's Carnival one week, start
ing April 26.
The world is full of conventionali-
ties: almost everything we see is con-
ventional-even the styles of dress;
we are going back to the days of our
ancestors and at this particular date
and age nothing succeeds like success
and the multitudes WHO inhabit the IL
Illuminated Great Parker Show Grounds
this season cannot fail to thoroughly
appreciate the many features never
before offered and exhibited With any
carnival

ELECTRICITY
BY WATER

Granite Enterprise: / was In the
thriving city Of Chickasha a short time
ago. and noted it's rapid progress. but
that which attracted by attention most
was their electric light system three
miles away on the Washita river. It
is the old system Of dammlng the
stream, but a new method OF producing
electricity This led me to thinking Of
the vast possibilities OF this new ap-
plicatlon Of water power. II dIspenses
with coal boilers and steam engines.
All kinds Of machinery can be run by
electricity In addition to It's heating
and lighting qualities We have but
to reflect a moment TO see the great
benefit to be derived from such lnsti-
tutions. The industries which are de-
pendent on steam for their operation
cannot compete with this new develop
ment Of power. and ror this reason we
may expect strong opposition from
those who own them. The cheapness
OF articles manufactured by electricity
IN the manner referred TO- will drive
all others out of business who are
engaged in a like industry, but the
masses will be greatly benefited.
Before our dreams can be realized
the government will have to grant the
use Of government streams to produce
electricity, which will be opposed by
some Hence. It is destined to become
political issue in time, perhaps in
the next presidential campaign.
Last October, while on my way from
Chicago, fell in company with man
returning from Niagara Falls. Will
great enthusiasm he told Of the won
derul work that was being carried on
there by that natural downpour Of
water he said that many plants were
being moved out OF New York and
Buffalo cities to Niagara TO get the
benefit OF cheap power Subscriber
