Many Applications Come From Out
side the City.

ITO teach in Topeka seems to be
the ambition of nearly every Kansas
school teacher" superintendent H. B.
Wilson said this morning. .-Since the
first of the year 1 have received over
500 applications for positions in To-
peka schools This is over twice as
many as the superintendent of a
school system the size of Topeka's
usually receives.
1t is a big compliment to Topeka"

WORSE THAN OPIUM
Use of Loco Weed Cause the Police of
Topeka Much Concern.

Another Mexican loco fiend was
picked up by the police yesterday. He
had a lot of pulverized loco weed in
his pockets and almost as much in his
system, according to Augustin Alba.
detective. Manual Gomez is the name
he gave.
What Chief Parsons fears is that the
custom of smoking loco will become
ha bitua1 with people other than Next
cans. He has already discovered sew
eral cases in Topeka where white men
have been experimenting with the
weed. According to facts CLEANED from
the observance of Mexicans under its
influence, loco weed causes temporary
insanity Any kind of crime is prob
able while the victim is under the in
fluence of the drug. Parsons says
loco, grown right here in Topeka. is a
more dangerous drug than opium.

GREAT DAY
FOR BARGAIN
HI n 7 { R 8
SHOPPERS FROM OUT OF THE
CITY REAPlNG THE Benefit
OF REFUND AND ARE PUR-
CHASING LITERALLY.

Another splendid day for bargain
hunters was developed today and the
out town Shoppers were more num-
erous than at any time since the CO.
operative sales began last Saturday.
The number of strangers, those
who had never shopped in A-lmore
before was marked. Great pains was
taken by the secretary of the Bust
ness Mems Association TO find out
just how shoppers feel at the newly
inaugurated refunding of railroad
fares and hisreport is to the effect
that it has exceeded his expectations.
Some real bargains were reported
by satisfied shoppers yesterday and
every merchant has fully established
himself among the new customers he
has secured during the three days.
Especial effort has been made by
the merchants to see that every de-
mand has been gratified and so far
none have reported a dissatisfied
customer nor any shopper made any
complaint.
The initial success from every
standpoint means a greater shopping
center. Goods were ordered by eX-
press yesterday so that at no time
during the week would any demand
be made that could not be filled.
The balance of the week promises
to be a great one for shoppers in
Ardmore, for bargains will reign for
every day until closing time Satur-
day night.

Majestic.
The stolid business man tied up
with the humdrum affairs of his lis,le
world who is married to a so 3ial
butterfly is not an infrequent figure
in our current drama. His prosaic
and matter-offact existence has been
a fertile field for dramatsts during
the past decade. The husband thinks
of nothing but his commercial pro-
gress, while the wife is entirely wrap
ped up in her social achievements.
1T is natural that under such con-
ditions the man should appear to
complete the eternal triangle. In ne
American-Mutual two-part drama,
"The Pendulum of Chance" which
is shown at the Majestic today, the
action centers about this familiar
theme.
Carl Churchill, admirably played by
Edward Coxen. is the everyday man
of business. Lzette Thorne portravs
the wife with social ambition, and
George Field as Ned Wallace is the
interloper who attempts to break up
the Churchill home.

J. n. CARLOCK STATES THAT HE
is GOING TO REPAIR STREETS
FIRST AND ARGUE AS TO PAY
MENT AFTERWARD.

J. II. Carlock, city engineer stated
yesterday afternoon that he was going
to repair the streets of the city i'm
mediately, and already he has begun
the work. Mr.. Carlock stated that
he was receiving communications
daily from other cities asking about
the merits of rock asphalt but that
he was afraid to invite any of the
parties here while the streets are in
their present condition for fear they
would doubt the stability of Ardmore
rock asphalt as a paving material.
Mr.. Carlock stated that it was not
the fault of the material that certain
streets were in their present con-
dition, but the manner in which it
was laid and the subsequent neglect
that has been the cause of this. Mr..
Carlock stated that the funds for this
work were not available at present
but he was going to do the work first
and argue about the payment after
ward.
Spasmodic efforts have been made
to repair the streets for the past two
years. but very little has ever been
accomplished. 1t begins to look now
as if the city engineer means busi-
ness and will soon have the unsightly
holes that so disfgure some of our
principal streets property repaired.

HE.NCE:F0RTH
MOTORCYCLE COP rhS BEEN AP-
POINTED AND SPEEDY MACHINE
PURCHASED TO PURSUE SPEED
MANlACS.

From this date there will be waged
unrelenting warfare upon persons
who persist in driving iEcir motor
cars beyond the speed limit on the
streets of the city, and the punish
ment agreed upon, according to the
police department, has been raised
until it will be rather painful to pay
the assessment. The police department
has just received a brand-new Har-
ley Davidson motorcycle of high
power and speed and Jess Dunn, an
expert driver has been added to the
police department as motorcycle Of
ficer, whose duties will be to arrest
all persons who are exceeding the
speed limit in the city of Ardmore.
There will be no chance for an ex-
cuse as to the rate of speed because
his machine is equipped with speed
ometer and he will be able to tell
just how fast the vehicle he is pur-
suing was travelling. The fines, it
is understood, will be graduated, ac-
cording to the offense. For the first
offense, twenty-five dollars, the sec
ond fifty, and the third one hundred.
This should have a tendency to make
drivers more careful. His first sta
ton will probably be North Washing
ton street, where the speed limit is
fractured every hour between seven
and eleven o'clock every night.
