The elaborate trousseaux of mem
bers of the smart set would have made
queen bride OF century ago open
her eyes with amazement. 1t is an
ordinary thing for the daughter Of a
millbnaire on getting her bridal fin
cry ready to order 20 or 30 hats,
trimmed with ostrich and other feath-
ers, to harmonic with as many
gowns. Every gown needs a distinct
hat. The equipment of a rich bride
is looked on as incomplete If 1t does
not contain at least 80 gowns and
such trousseau does not mean the
bride will get no more dresses for a
year. When lingerie and little orna-
ments also are taken into considera-
tion, 1t Is plain young girl in New
York's smart set must spend many
thousands of dollars for her outfit and
several women have spent sSO,0OO to
100000.

DETAILS ARRANGED
FOR REUNION
Everything is Complete For the De-
parture Of the Big Special Next
Saturday.

All details for the eight-car special,
which leaves Oklahoma City next Sat
urday with two hundred Confederate
veterans, sons OF veterans, sponsors
and their friends for Macon, Georgia.
May 7-9, were completed at a meeting
of the David Hammond Camp, U. C. ",
at the superior court room Sunday aft
ernoon. DR.. John Threadgill, brida-
der general, commanding the Okla
homa City division, presided.
There We're about thirty present at
the meeting 1t was decided that prae-
tically everything necessary to the
success Of the trip had been completed.
The train will leave the Rock Island
station at 5:15 Saturday morning, May
A. Everyone who has secured reserva-
tions is expected to be there promptly
on time. The next stop will be at Nc
Alester, where General ID. NJ. HALEY
and his party will be picked up and
the journey eastward continued. Fully
two hundred will compose the Okla
homa contribution to the convention.
That the Oklahoma City division
might have an authorized committee
to act, DR.. Threadgili. j. P. Allen and
Frank O'Harra were appointed to at
tend to supervision of all details. These
will be aided by committee of the
United Sons of Confederate Veterans,
TO be selected at special meeting of
that organization, in the law office of
Wylie Jones Monday night. The orig
| inal committee are members of the
David Hammond camp, while the Sons
committee will be chosen from the
local camp OF that aftiliating associa-
ton.
In the state there are about fifty
CAMPS of former Confederates. OF
these there is a combined membership
of about 1900 The Sons of Confed-
crates have about seventy-five camps
with membership of 1000 or 5000.
They will have one of the largest rep
resentations at the Macon reunion and
would stand a splendid chance to Sc
cure the 1913 reunion for Oklahoma
City. 1t is not probable though that
an invitation will be extended. DR..
Threadgill has explained that the 100,-
900 people who attend would perhaps
be better entertained il the reunion
were delayed for few years. His
suggestions will be carried out, it is
thought.

RAIN AND HAIL
SATURDAY NIGHT


This section was visited Saturday
night by the heaviest and most damag-
ing wind, rain and hail storm in many
years.
Nearly four inches of rain fell dur
ing the night and the creeks were out
Of their banks before morning. The
Sequoyah avenue bridge over Bull
creek went out during the night and
cut about 60 school children of from
the schools.
Big Cabin creek flooded all the lower
bottoms and the damage was very
great. The fine new barn at the Tom
.Donnelly farm six miles north Of town
was blown down and other buildings
throughout this section suffered Six
hundred feet OF Katy track washed
out between Vinita and White Oak. On
the Frisco east of town several hun.
dred feet near Little Cabin was dis
placed and trains were delayed nearly
a whole day and night.
NJ. G. Hawkins, three miles south of
town had number of cattle drowned
in his overfowed pasture. The first
report was that fifty head had perish
ed in the waters but the exact number
has not been learned.

Remarkable Popular Ignorance.

Some one has remarked that at
the height OF Napoleon's fame thero
We're men in the back alleys of Paris
who had never heard his name. This
illustration of popular ignorance was
recalled by judge who was examin-
ing candidates for citizenship in New
York city recently. He asked one Of
these prospective citizens, who Is
the head OF your native country?"
THE king who becomes the head
when he dies?" "His SON." "And
who is the head of this country? ?"
"The president" "And who would
become the head If he died?" His
SON. And yet, as the judge remark
ed, all these men know enough to
earn their daily bread-the rest is a
matter of schooling.

colonel to a joint debate in Oklahoma

Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,

Dear Sir: Following your recent
trip through Oklahoma the newspapers
carried the statement of the verbatim
quotation from you that you will
shortly make series of speeches in
our state for the purpose of revolution
izing political conditions and making
Oklahoma republican state"
With no feeling of malice over any
occurrence of the past. but solely to
the end that the great mass of people
Of our state may hear the public ques-
tions from both your viewpoint and
mine fully and thoroughly discussed

sire.
believe that it is generous for me
to say that have no personal malice,
Notwithstanding the occurrences of the
Ipast with which you were connected.

paigfn and the incorrect statements
made to you by others may have made
your policy, to some extent, excusabe,

You have finally come to assert your
advocacy OF many questions which I
have long advocated. but as to others
I do not. and do not believe the peo-
pie can afford to approve your policies.
AS to the questions on which Ne would
seem to harmonic. frankly speaking,
want to be convinced both as to your
sincerity and as to the practical appli-
cation of the things you propose.
Under the above conditions. shall
await with pleasure the times and
places that you may select in our state
for the discussion of the men and
measures that will best promote the
public welfare.

and the transition will be accomplish
ed without disturbance. With tie for
nation of the company things will as
sumo their proper relation. The far
mer will receive just return for his
products and will be able to buy the
of life at immensely less
cost. Likewise the laborer will re-
eeive better wages and the buying
power of his money will be increased.
This will bring about an improvement
of the conditions Of the homes and
bring about a general upliftment.
THE dividends of the company in
excess of 6 per cent will be devoted to
the benefit of the people at large
State and national taxes could be paid
from this excess and some of it could
be devoted to the building of bridges,
draining of swamps, building the roads
and construction of museums and
geological gardens and thus generally
improve the tone of the people by pro-
viding abundant means for enjoyment
and enlightenment.

scheme and will be the greatest bene-
fit to the farmer and laborer they
should demand it at the polls, and if
they do they will get It,"
