INSPECTION OF COM
PANY G TONIGHT
LOCAL COMPANY OF NATIONAL
GUARD WILL BE INSPECTED BY
REGULAR ARMY OFFICER.

When the Ardmoreite reporter call
ed on Captain Hutchinson he found
that gentleman very busy, getting
his affairs in shape to leave when
ever he might be called on. He
stated that the names of himself
and Lieutenants Worley and Hays
had been forwarded by the adjutant
eneral to the war department at
Washington, for duty on the Mexican
border, under the order issued by
the war department several days ago.
No officers have as yet been desig-
mated by the department for that
service, but these three, who are
the commissioned Officers of Com
pany G, are ready to go at any time.
The inspection by Captain Richard
son of the regular army, who comes
from the department OF Texas, will
take place tonight and will be in
full field equipment.
Several new men will take their
places in the ranks for the first time
on the night of the inspection. They
will, of course, not make so good
a showing as the older men, but they
will be given as much attention as
possible before the company falls
in for the inspection
Recruiting is going on all the time,
but there is still room for more good
men. Captain Hutchinson wants to
take the full compliment of los men
when the company goes. If the patIi-
otic young men of Ardmore and vi
cinity want to go to Mexico they
had better get their names on the
muster roll Of Company G, in the
next few days, as they may other
wise be too late.

TO THE VOTERS
OF ARDMORE

In Sunday mornings Ardmoreite,
there appeared in prominent capitals
plea called why Don Russell
should be elected or a strong plea
for the First National Bank.
The article says that ten years ago
the First National and the City Ma
tional came forward, and at great
Inconvenience to themselves, loaned
the Ardmore city schools money
enough to keep the SCHOOLS running.
This is quite probable, as they were
the only two banks in Ardmore then.
While this is very praiseworthy in
them, 1t is presumed that they re-
ceived ample interest and security;
had there been other banks here al
that time, they would have been glad
to have assumed the obligation.
We had been under the impression
that the faithful taxpayers of Ard
more stood behind the public schools,
and financed them, but it seems that
we were mistaken.
The article asks very earnestly If
the Ardmore voters believe in a
square deal. Yes, We do; therefore
We like to see rotation in office oc-
casionally We would also like to see
built that long promised High School.
What do you think?
A TAXPAYER.

Broadway Baptist Church.

The Ten Commandments" was the
subject of the sermon by the pas
tor, Rev. +. M. Masters, last night
at the Broadway Baptist church. The
attendance was good and especially
were many men present. The fourth

principal topic of the sermon.
The subject next Sunday evening
will be Present Day Dishonesty
This topic is found in the command
ment, Thou Shalt Not Steal"
Rev. Masters is a forceful pulpit
orator as we'll as church builder

OLD VETERANS IN
REGULAR SESSION
BOYS WHO WORE THE GRAY
HAVE FINE PROGRAM AT THE
DISTRICT COURT ROOM.

The Jno. II. Morgan Camp held
their regular meeting yesterday even
ing, and II was one or the most in
teresting ones they have had in some
time. Quite a number of ladies,
misses and old veterans We're in at
tendance. A resolution of respect to
the memory of Comrade w. b. King,
lately deceased, was read by the com
mittee and approved; this, together
with the other routine of business
being completed, We were entertain
ed by music and select readings.
Miss Nellie Ikard, first on the pro
gram, favored us by singing Tentlng
on the Old Camp Ground a song
that never fails to move the hearts
of the old soldier This song brought
to the memory of Brother Hults-
man his many bivouacs in the army
of Virginia, and those fearful scenes
of carnage enacted on her blood
stained soil in the sixties; and he
said he hoped that the loyalty and
heroism displayed by the Confederate
Soldier in those trying times, has al
ready made such impressions on the
minds of their posterity that will
never be obliterated. That he did not
want to live in a country where the
grandchildren of those old heroes
would ever forget their glorious
achievements. Then Miss Dee Lynn
gave us reading, "A parallel Be-
tween Washington and Lee" which
abounds in rich germs of thought
set in words of much beauty Miss
Dee's manner of delivery was easy,
deliberate, though sufficiently animat-
ing to be pleasing and with an un.
common distinctness of enunciation.
Then Lonnie May Bagby, quite a
little girl, recited Jackson's Farewell
Address to the 1st Brigade" and in
this she acquitted herself so cred
itably that it called forth much ap-
plause. Miss Ethel Ikard gave us
THE Mustard Plaster" that mirth
producing piece, made especially so
by her fine rendition. The commander
after listening to these pleasing re-
citals arose and in one Of his happy
efforts spoke in warm commendation
of those ladies and young girls who
contribute to the entertainment of
our camp and he said he believed
that our girls were more patriotic
that our boys and far more i'm SYM
pathy with the old soldiers. After
the closing of the meeting many of
the members were head to observe
that they did not know when they
had spent a more pleasant hour.

-oNDoN's HISTORIC TOWER.
And the Egg From Which Was Hatch
ed the Great Charter.

Richard Davey in The Tower of
London" connects the historic edifice
with the wrestling of the great charter
from King John
King John, it would seem, though le-
gally married to Isabella of Angou-
leme. fell desperately in love in 1914
with Matilda" OF Maud" THE Fair
the beautiful daughter of Robert. Lord
Fitzwalter. This lady. remaining deaf
to his entreaties. was treacherously
abducted from her fathers seat at
Dunmow by the kings order and shut
up in the round turret of the White
tower. On this Fitzwalter made
vain attempt to rouse the people to re-
volt, but was forced to fly to France
with his wife and remaining children.
Maud once safe in the tower, King
John renewed his suit, but only sue
ceeded in driving her to utter silence.
which so Infatuated him that he sent
her a poisoned egg for her breakfast,
and she died early in 1915. A year
later her remains were translated to
the family vault at Dunmow
When the news Of this crafty muir
der came to the ears of Fitzwalter he
forthwith returned to England and
discovered to his joy that the barons
were on the point of declaring war
against John. He at once placed him
self at their head hoping. it is said, to
combine his personal revenge with his
duty as an English peer and is indeed
supposed to have forced the king to.
sign the great charter for the express.
purpose of humiliating his daughters.
murderer. Thus from an egg was
hatched the great charter. Whether
the story be true OF false, it is a GER
titled historical fact that the barons
held the tower in pledge till John cen
scented to accept the charter and af-
fixed his reluctant signature to the
deed.
About a year later, when the war
with the barons was at its height and
John once more a power, the tower
again fell into his hands, and, though
the barons laid siege to it, they were
repulsed by the kings men. To COM
plete its strange vicissitudes during
this strenuous reign the tower became
on Nov. i, 1915, the temporary court
Of King Louis of France, whom the
rebellious barons had summoned to
assist in the adjustment Of their griev-
ances. Appearing before the gates
with a large body of men. he so COM
pletely awed the officials that they
handed over the keys without striking
a blow for their rightful monarch.

tract of 800 acres in Idaho,
decided to him August Is, 1908;
another of 40 acres in Idaho,
decided to him October 20, 1905;
another OF $50 acres decided to
him October 20, 1905. He also
held at that time a tract OF $50
acres in Oregon, decided to him
March 16, 1908.
The entryman in this case
offered final proof November %,
1909, claiming residence on the
land prior to the date OF entry.
In this connection a point that
was not raised in the proceed
ings is pointed out. 1t is shown
that during the period for which
Mielke claimed credit for resi-
dence, while the land was I'M
surveyed, he held one tract OF
800 acres of land, in this state,
deedee to him August 10, 1903.
During the greater portion OF the
period for which credit was so
claimed, he held two other tracts
in Idaho, aggregating 200 acres,
decided to him October 20, 1905.
1t is thus seen that this entry
man was holding unsurveyed
land under the laws ofthe United
States relative to homestead
rights on land prior to survey
when he was not a qualified
entryman. There was no time
during the period for which this
entryman claims credit for res
idence when he could have made
entry on the land, had it been
surveyed.
Says II Was Decided Away.
The defense in this case rests
entirely upon the testimony OF
the ennryman and his nephew,
which is to the effect that on
June l, 1908, the entryman
decided away all his real estate
to the nephew, John M. Morgan.
The government holds that
the transfer of land and stock
from Mielke to his nephew was
not bona fide.-Statesman
