companied by County Clerk Bradley,
left this morning for Ell Reno, where
they will meet with the commission
ers of Canadian county for the pur-
pose of building the bridge across
the Canadian"
While it could hardly be expected of
them to complete the steel structure
today, at least the matter will be
taken up for serious consideration.
1t is known that the commissioners
from both counties favor the erection
of the bridge and the knotty problem
with which they will wrestle today is
the ways and means of raising the
money necessary.
A map of the Winnipeg-to-the-Guir
highway has been made through Grady
county, showing that its route lies just
to the east of Minco and Pocasset,
passes directly through Chickasha and
continues south near Ninnekah and
Rush Springs. The proposed bridge
crosses the Canadian on this road,
joining Canadian and Grady counties.

sections 1S and 10, Go Both are small
structures.
The controversy concerning the adj
dition Of part of Union township to
Pocasset township was brought to an
end when the commissioners ordered
a strip mile wide across the southern
boundary Of Union township to be
added to Pocasset, the order naming
the sections to be affected in the
change.
The compulsory school fund of the
county having been exhausted, all pay
ments from that fund we're ordered

Berlin, May 5.-The great wave OF
enthusiasm which is sweeping over
Germany as result OF the recent vic
tories over the Russians exceeds even
that of the first days of the war when
the German troops we're pouring
across France and threatening Paris.
Supreme confidence that the enc
mics of Germany cannot win is ex-
pressed following the successful prose
cutting of the campaigns on in Flan-
ders, Galicia and northwest Prussia
Flags are flying, giving the city a
gala appearance, bands are marching
and fresh first line troops are going
out of the city for duty at the various
fronts.
The belief is expressed here that the
British must soon evacuate Ypres and
that Russias campaign for the invas-
ion of Hungary must soon prove abor.
tive.

Pekin, May 5.--China is preparing
for war with Japan and is bending her
efforts chiefly toward the protection
Of the capital
The diplomats are continuing their
efforts to settle the difficulties Of the
two countries without going to war
The president OF China claims that
the ultImatum which was sent by
Japan was so formulated that China
will not have a chance to get the as.
sistance of friendly nations.
It is asserted in high quarters that
one hundred thousand troops have
been concentrated in the environs of
Pekin but with sufficient ammunition
for only brief resistance.
Special police and military precau-
tions have been taken throughout the
city, especially around the winter pal
ace, where President Yuan Shi Kal
resides. The officials declare that
they are suspicious that the Japanese
may attempt repetition of the Kor-
can coup d'etat.
The Japanese legation it is said, no
titled the Japanese Monday to prepare
10 leave Pekin and it is reported that
many women and children are getting
ready to depart. Many of the Japan

Within the last few years the or

ambitious productions including the
French tragedy "Richelieu," "Brown
of Harvard" "The Lost Paradise
"The Virginian" and "The College
Widow" the last named including
cast of more than 60 characters.
But never before have they found
a play so peculiarly suited to their
talents as the one chosen this year.
A Harvard Alumnus, who now re-
sides in Louisville, saw the show al
the Ben Ali and called it the best
amateur production he had ever
seen. He said: at is better than
anything the Harvard Dramatic Club
has ever DONE"
Last Monday night the show was
put ON at the Georgetown Opera
House and according to the George

big hit with Charley's Aunt, playing
to a crowded house of highly pleas

William Shinnick, as "Old Spet-

The role of the English butler,
"Brasset," is taken by John Marsh,
of Maysville, who plays the part as
if he we're born in Picadilly itself.
Emery Frizier is so natural as
"Sir Francis Chesney'-Charley's

The roles of "Amy Spettigue" and
