pay for her casket and funeral ex-

Everyone ia so busy now with
their crops and fall work that there
is some delay in the work OF reclaim
ing the Chisholm trail,' said Ii. B
Johnson this morning in speaking Of
the holiday that is to be declared in
Grady county for the purpose Of de-
voting a day to the road.
'The right Of way has not been en-.
tirely secured through the county
but the work is progressing we'll in
this direction. There will be some
delay in the matter OF beginning the
grading becouse fences viii have to
me moved and in some instances
crops gathered Off Of parts Of the
right OF way"
Mr.. Johnson says that the plan now
is to declare three holidays for the
building Of the road to he north. It
is Is miles to Minso and It is pro
posed to build six miles of road
day.
A large part Of the road to the
north is already in excellent shape
and il is thought that much can be
done by large force Of men and
teams giving their time to sections
of the road. Just when these holi-
days will be called has not been de-
cided. Farmers and business men
are very busy and it is thought that
II will be better to defer the work

London, Sept 25.-That hostilities

furnish the spark to set off the pow
der magazine on which Europe has
been sitting for the past decade. is
believd here.
Italians favor capturing Tripoli and
ending the industrial discomfort from
conditions resulting from the spread
Of cholera also owing to the evident
hostility in American toward Italian
immigrants and the lack Of opportun-
ity at home for the poorer class Of
Italians who are unable to find a
place to dispose Of their labor.
A new Italy IN Africa has been the
ambition Of the present government
and It has been pointed out that in
asmuch as Turkey has no navy sne
would prove easy prey to Italian ag-
gressicn.
The populace Of Tripoli who are
musselmen won't submit to the Ital-
ians but will stand by the Turks.
Europe believes the Turk a better
soldier than the Italian.

ship Was blown up after fire broke

The disaster bears striking re-

Following the first slight explosion
the entire ship was aflame. BY

could be seen from other warships,
vainly attempting to keep the flames
from the magazine.
