The realization of municipal author

use of fireworks is the only way to as
sure a Fourth without casualties, is
apparent in the nature of the ordi-

with those of previous years, which
forbade only the use of certain of the
more dangerous kinds of fireworks.

pronounced success. and the vast
crowds in attendance were royalty en-
tertained.
The crowds began arriving early in
the day and by the hour for the big
street parade which opened the days
festivities the streets were almost
jammed with celebrators. Immediately
after the parade the crowds began
taking in the shows, contests and other
attractions going on and were occupied
through the day with these amuse-
ments At noon about two thousand
people were well fed on barbarcued
beef and bread and given plenty of
good water to drink.
In the afternoon the entertainment
consisted of baseball, tennis and races
and the carnival. The days big time
closed with beautiful fireworks dis
play and during this and after social
good time was enjoyed in South Park
and about the streets Of the city.
Considering the difficulties under
which this celebration was gotten up
and the numerous other picnics near
by, even the most critical must admit
that it was a great success and join
with the crowds in expressing their
thanks to the band boys for a good
band and for the good time shown
them yesterday.

After spending a strenuous Fourth
of July celebrating in the best ways he
knew how, County Judge Sam Parks
retired at late hour last night, think
ing to get few hours of peaceful
slumber and be in condition to act in
the duties of his Office when day ar
riyed-but no. His dreams were rude
ly shattered shortly after midnight.
The hour when all Things are supposed
to be at rest, when the tombstones
.yawn, and the grave yards give up
their dead, by young couple, who
had in all probability eluded the vigi-
liant eyes of papa and hied them
selves to this city determined to be-
come joined in wedlock, and this was
why the judge, who is at peace with
all men, was aroused from the "downy
cot" at this grewsome hour. They
wanted to get married
The judge argued, pleaded and
threatened, but it was of no avail.
Nothing would do but that they be
married at once. So the judge sum-
moned witnesses and quickly made
them the happiest pair on earth.
The couple were Mr.. A. ]. c.
Reieckert, age 36, of Tahlequah and
Miss Sallie Guthrie, age 10 of Yelling
Kans. They left this morning for
Tahlequah where they will make their
future home.

Homer, O., Dec. 23---The village is
agog over the arrest here of Leonard
and Joseph Kettel, farmers living near
here.
Hurriedly after the arrest Hon. L.
d. Houck, of Mt. Vernon, was called
by the defense, and L. c. Russell, of
Newark, was called for the state. The
men are arrested under a statute
which makes 1t felony to expose in
decent pictures or works before chill
dren.
Somebody hung two efiigies of a
man and woman in front of the resi-
dence of Mary E. Learson and of John
Kirkpatrick. 1t is supposed that they
were hung there, to telephone wire,
to annoy the two people named but
whoever did 1t became liable under
the statute. The offense ia a serious
one as the maximum penalties attach.
ed Is fine Of not more than $4,000
and an Imprisonment In the peniten.
tiary for not more than Ave years at
the option of the court.
The efiigies were clumsy attempts
at imitation Of the human form, but
one thing certain about them was that
the sex In each case designed was
made clear beyond guess. They had
been taken down and were exhibits in
the case. After the hearing they were
inspected by large crowd of men
and boys.
The case had been worked up by
William Lester. of the Lester Secret
Service company. He made the ar
rest and after the hearing came to
this city and went ON to Columbus,
his headquarters.
The affidavit had been filed before
Justice of the Peace T. N. Dean and
the prisoners were arraigned about
$3.50 in the afternoon. HOuck stated
for the prisoners that he was ready
for trial and urged an immediate
hearing. Mr.. Russell, for the state,
said that they had not yet time to
call their witnesses and would have
to have the case placed on the docket
for Monday next. The state was en-.
titled to four days to. prepare for the
hearing.
The court held for the state and
the case was set for hearing Monday
next at 10:00 a. m. The prisoners
