Santa Claus was born ages
ago, and he has been so busy
ever since that he never has
taken the time to study his
family tree. American chill
dren call him Santa Claus;
the little Dutch folk, st.
Nicholas; the French, Pere
Noel, and the Germans, Prince
Ruprecht or Kris Kringle. But
they all mean the same thing.

countered, the elderly gentleman held
the grip farther from him, and his

somewhat with fear. What have you

RIPLEY
COMING HERE
WEDNESDAY
PRESIDENT OF THE ATCHISON,
TOPEKA & SANTA FEE RAILWAY
WILL VISIT CITY WITH OTHER
OFFICIALS.

President E. P. Ripley of the Atchi-
son., Topeka e Santa Fe Railway COM
pany will arrive here from Chicago
next Wednesday. He will be accom-
panied by Vice-President w. f. Hodg-
es and other officials of that road
A number OF prominent citizens of
the city will meet the Ripley special
train north of here, and will accom-
pany the railway officials to Ardmore.
The entertainment planned for Mr..
Ripley and Mr.. Hodges includes a ban
Quet at the Dornick Hills Country
club, besides trips to the other country
club houses surrounding the city,
where the railroad people will be
given an opportunity to test the
merits of the lakes of Ardmore for
game fish.
Mr.. Ripley won the hearts of Ard
more people when he sent a telegram
here announcing that his company
would pay the damages wrought by
the explosion. His company is the
only one in the state of Oklahoma
which could have met such an emer-
gency, and the liberality of the COM
pany saved this city at a time when
it was in sore need. As a result of !
Mr.. Ripley's act, Ardmore within a |
few months will be a better city in
point of buildings, than it was before
the explosion. 1t is but natural that
Ardmore people should feel very kind
y toward Mr. Ripley and his road.

advantageous points kept the water
from entering the pump station and
putting the machinery out Of com

Creeks and rivers throughout this

the damage to the cotton crop has
been enormous. No loss of life has
been reported from this immediate
section, but one young lady was-re-

HOTEL WALLS
DANGEROUS
CROWDS ON LOWER MAIN STREET
WERE STARTLED YESTERDAY
WHEN A SECTION OF THE WEST
WALL CRASHED TO GROUND.

People standing on lower Main street
yesterday afternoon, were startled by
crash as the west wall of the Whit
tington hotel fell in with a crash and
took part of the roof of the Ledbetter
building with it.
Saturday night another section Of
the east wall near the rent caused by
the explosion fell, and now the build
ing is practically divided in half. The
heavy rain was the cause of some of
the displaced bricks becoming loose,
and let the wall fall. The work of
wrecking the building will begin at
once, as ii is a menace to the public
at present. Captain Wilmington will
have force of men at work as soon
as the architect he has employed fin
ishes making a survey of the wreck
age, and he will Immediately begin
the erection of modern six-story
building.
People who are compelled to pass
along lower main street take to the
middle Of the street, as the Whiting
ton and the Hardy building are liable
to topple before the wreckers can get
to work on them.

There were indications this morn
ing that serious slide might occur
over the Santa Fe tracks in the can.
yon as a result of the heavy rains Of
yesterday. Every precaution is being
taken by railway men to prevent am
serious delay in traffic, but should
the slide occur it would seriously im-
pede traffic for several hours, at least.
Reports from over this section
state that the high waters are re-
ceding and that the danger, in most
places, is past. Unconfirmed reports
from various parts of the county say
that several bridges have been ser
iously damaged, but to what extent
was not stated.

nine o'clock in the morning and would
spend two hours with them. The
mayor has planned a short drive over
the city and a meeting at the court

be given or not is not known, but il
is probable that Mr.. Ripley will not

France Declares War.

London, Oct 1S.-The French gov
eminent has announced the existence
Of a state Of war between France and
Bulgaria, dating from a. m. Oct.
10. This follows the British declara-
ton, made the previous night -
Almost coincidentally with the an
nouncement from Paris comes the re-
port from Athens that the French
troops in Macedonia are engaged with
the Bulgarians, who number 10000
Already many thousands of the
British and French troops who were
landed at Salonili are on their way
to form a junction with Serbians or to
take up strategic positions against
the Bulgarian advance. A late dis
patch from Malta, the British naval
station in the Mediterranean, predicts
that the entente allies will during the
course of the next few days, send
strong new forces to Saloniki for
operations against the Austro-Ger-
mans and Bulgarians.
Hard pressed by AustroIGerman
troops, estimated at about 2S000O
men, on the Save-Dapube front, and
fighting at various points on the line
to hold back the Bulgarians, the Ser
bians are anXiously awaiting the as
cic nf ha c1c
but they are being favored by weather
conditions and by the natural de-
fenses of the country, and the pro.
gress of the invaders has not been
pronounced.
The Germans, however, claim to
have taken the heights south of Bel
grade, while along the Danube the
army of General Won Gallwith is push
ing the Serbians back.
The Bulgarians also Law claim to
a rapid advance into Macedonia, al |
though the French are already re
ported to be in contact with them st
Gievgeli, while both the French and !
British continue to land troops at
Saloniki.
Neither Russian nor Italian assist
ance has yet developed, but the Ital-
ans have begun more vigorous Of
ensive along their frontier and have
captured Pregasina, an important ad-
ranced point of the fortified Riva
group on Lake Garda. This will be
If indirect aid to Serbia, preventing,
Is it does, the movement Of any
more Austrian troops from that from
ier.
The Germans have taken the often
i've south of Riga and forced the
russians out OF their positions, cap
uring a large number of prisoners
md some guns. On the rest OF the
astern front the offensive remains
q the hands of the Russians, who are
