IN the history OF this county has there

To this one, and il was predicted by
many from the very beginning OF the
trial that the verdict would he ac-

through the hearts of very large part
of the citizens here aud the verdict of
the jury was very satisfactory one
TO large majority of the psople. The
ease was fought very stubbornly
throughout by the territory, but the
great wedge OF the matter was the fact
that so long ago was this deed com.

COL, ROOSEVELT
TO VISIT ARDMORE
HE WILL SPEAK IN INTEREST OF
STAND-PAT REPUBLICAN cANDi-
DATES ON CONGRESSIONAL AND
STATE TICKETS.

Col. r. A. White, one of the leading
republicans of this section OF the state
has returned from republican state
headquarters and says he has been in
! formed that Theodore Roosevelt will
speak in Ardmore during the present
month OF October Roosevelt will
make five speeches in the state, one
in each congressional district. The
former president wants to see solid
republican delegation go TO Washing
ION from Oklahoma and these speeches
will be made in the interest of the
congressional ticket and also the state
republican ticket. Col. White Is
Roosevelt republican, he believes the
lion hunter is the greatest man in
America, he believes that If all the
nations were thrown under one gov
ernment that Roosevelt would be the
ruler of such nation, or in other
words, he believes Roosevelt is the
greatest man in the world. Col
White erstwhile editor, does not be-
lieve in stand-pat republicanism, he
believes in bringing government clos
er to the people than the Cannon-Ald
rich bunch would have 1t and as
matter OF fact the former editor has
some bitter pills to swallow in Okla
homa if he votes his ticket solid, for
the reason that the stand-pat element
have never been at war, they have
never expected to win anything and
naturally they have sought candidates !

CIRCUS HAS COMPLETE ZOO.
Wonderful Mensgerie Now Found with
Barnum and Bailey Show.

One OF the things that has added
greatly to the fame OF the Barnum anC
Bailey circus is its menagerie. The
management has always he'd that il
building up and maintaining a really
great menaserie 1t was doing untold
good to the youth OF the land as well
as entertaining them. Ii is good
thing for all boys and girls to read
natural history. How much more ben
eticial it is to bring these animals be-
fore the eyes of the student where he
may study them at close range.
The Barnum and Bailey circus is
the only one in the world that has
its own animal hunters and trappers.
The various animal agencies distribut-
ed throughout Europe deal only in
those animals which are common TO
the ZOOS of every city of size. Rare
creatures which do not breed in cap.
uvity are not found there. Here lies
the reason why other shows with
neither a hunter nor trapper in their
employ, have nothing year after year
to show their patrons but the com
mon lions, tigers, a sprinkling of deer
and bears, a few elephants and var
ious other unimportant types which
from long being seen are scarcely of
more interest than a goat or an oxen
In the Barnum and Bailey menagerie
are llO cages, tanks and pens in which
are to be found 200 animals. An In.
stance OF their great enterprise is
found in the giraffe family. Here are
