FROM DENVER THE BEAUTIFUL Tells of His Vi*it to Various Cities in Oklahoma, Kansas and Colo* rado. Denver, Col., July 7, 1907. Fried Lew —Here we are this beautiful morning. In my last letter I left off in our trip at South McAlister, I. T. That is a city of 6,000 or 7,00(T people, right in the. heart of the worst agricultural district in the territory, but has unlimited supply of coal and iron, and is called the Pittsburg of the Southwest and is the county seat of Pittsburg county. They now have a very fine territorial building or court house; the best hotel I saw in the territory, a better hotel than any city of Indiana, out-

side the Claypool at Indianapolis. It is five. Stories in height and modern in every respect, and cost $300,000. The Masonic Temple is a large three-story building and basement, and cost SIOO,OOO. They have their Scottish Rite conclave here and a membership of several thousand, a great many of the Indians being 32nd degree Masons, so they tell me. The most of them in that vicinity do not present that appearance to me. The Elks also have a very fine home costing $30,000 or $40,000. The mystery to me is how this city, as indeed all the other cities of Indian territory and Oklahoma, are going to keep up, as they seem to be so far ahead of the country surrounding them. From McAlister we went to Oklahoma City. This is the wonder of the age, and the highest example of the “boom” cities of the present century. From open and desolate prairies, it became in eighteen years a city of

40,000 poulation and is still growing rapidly. Here I met George A. MatHack, who for some time prior to last December, was a partner in the law business with Henry Eichhorn, of Bluffton. He has established a fine business in his profession for the time he has been here and politically is “right in the swim.” It would be useless for me to undertake to describe all the things of interest in and around this city, but suffice to say they have everything here that belongs to a modern city of the 20th century. From Oklahoma City we went to Elßeno, stopping on our way at a small town called Yukon. At Yukon I met Sam Major, who was formerly a clerk in the Big Store at Decatur. He is in the restaurant business and is doing nicely. Here are two brothers in this town in the general store business, who ire said to be the wealthiest men in Oklahoma. A very peculiar coincident occurred here. I was invited to a home, and in this home is an old organ which my mother formerly owned, and which was’ sold at the administrator’s sale in 1880. We only stopped a part of a day at Yukon and then went to El Reno. Here is another of those modern “boom” cities, but in my opinion its possibilities for the future are equal to any of the others I have visited, owing to the fact that it has a very fine farming country around it, besides it has recently located some extensive manufacturing plants. One a pottery plant from Akron, Ohio, the only one in the southwest. Many * other industries have located at this place, including the One Minute Washing Machine company, managed and largely owned by Frank Hocker, an Adams county product. He is making plenty of money. Young Andrews is also here in the barber business, , married and is doing nicely. The Rock Island railroad is making this a division point, and are building round houses and other buildings to the extent of $200,000, the city having given them a bonus of $40,000. This is the point where the two divisions of the Rock Island crosses, one running from Chicago to Dallas, Texas, and the other from Memphis to Arma- < rllla. They have their train dispatch- , ers here, and have a larger force than . is kept in their Chicago office. On the whole, this is a likely city, and being only 30 miles from Oklahoma City, will always be its rival, with a fair show for supremacy. They have a fine horse and mule market, several wholesale houses, one of which Judge Macey, with a number of others, for-

merly from Winchester,-are Interested in. We then came to Enid. This is the county seat of Garfield county, and in the heart of a very fine farming community and is a fine city, fine large buildings, street car line, horse and mule market, banks and trust companies, and is withal a very pretty city with wide streets, partly paved. From Enid our task of doing Oklahoma and Indiana territory was at an end. The greatest blessings and advantages they have Heaven only can bestow. Their greatest curse is the carpet bagger. It is to his interest to keep them out of statehood, and with his pull among the Republican politicians of the North, are liable to succeed. The greatest joke I heard while in the territory was Charley Landis’ speech on the fairness of the Republican party in gerrymandering the state of Indiana for legislative and congressional purposes and Said “look how we do it,” but forget to tell them that in doing so they had disfranchise onefourth as many Democrat votes as they have all together in Oklahoma. She is a great state and has a population of busy hustling, active people. Back to Kansas, again striking Wichita, from thence to Horen. This was formerly the home of J. W. Teepie, who owned a quarter section of land which corners with the town. This locality is the finest farming district we have seen so far on our journey. Take it from Hutchinson to Kingsman and then east to Wichita, and in this triangle of thirty by fifty by forty miles and the farms cannot be beaten in the country. The lands are worth from S9O to $l5O and none for sale at that price. Kansas has enough wheat to bread the world, if she can get the men to handle it. At every station along the road were farmers inquiring for harvest hands, and were offering $2.50 per day and five meals. We left Kansas last Thursday and cam to Colorado Springs, Col., which I will tell you bout in my next. Yours, R. K. ERWIN. o The Ideal Amusement company closed their week’s engagement Saturday evening and were in the last night greeted by a large and enthusiastie audience and this proved to be their best evening as a money maker. The company left Sunday afternoon for Spencerville, 0., where they will conduct their show all of this week and will no doubt do well, as the show is far above the average carnival company.

I TAKE POSSESSION SANITARIUM 1 Has Purchased the Famous Roberson Institution at Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Wilbur Blackman returned last ; night from Atlanta, Ga., where he 1 had gone to look after the proposition of taking over the Robertson sanitari lum in that city. Mr. Blackman came | back with a signed agreement and t will go to Atlanta August Ist, and . at that time will assume entire charge • of the instltuticta, and will later, more than likely, become the sole i owner of the place. Dr. Blackman first heard of the • Atlanta institution through Senator s Tillman when he was here last fall • on his way to Pennville to deliver an ! address. The senator and his wife i have both been patients of the sani- • tarium, and were well pleased with i the method of treatment. He met Dr. Blackbum and in a conversation ■ said to him that if he ever visited the . south to visit the Robertson sani- ; tarium. This the doctor did before i returning from Florida, where he ■ spent last winter. When Dr. Black- ! man visited the sanitarium, however, . he had no idea of ever being connec- : ted with the institution. The sanitarium has been, running i for the past thirty years on a water , and hygienic diet treatment plan, and now that Dr. Robertson is compelled to retire he gladly adds oesteopathy. The institution is the only one of its kind, and is only three blocks from the capitol building in Atlanta. Atlanta is 1,100 feet above sea level, being higher than any point east of the Rocky mountains, and has a : fine climate. Dr. Robertson, the i founder, was a classmate of Dr. Kel- I logg, of the Battle Creek sanitarium, : and their ideas of treatment are sim- i liar. 1 Dr. Blackman thinks the proposi- i tlon a fine one and will give the best i of his life toward its success.—Bluffton Banner.

WAS KICKED BY A HORSE ’■ J Struck in Throat and a Hemorrhage Filled the Lungs, Causing Death— Brother of Phil Macklin. Israel Macklin, eleven year old son of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Macklin, who lives southeast of Geneva, was kicked by a horse at 7 o'clock Friday evening and died four hours later, as a result of the accident. The first news of the accident was received at about 7:30 o’clock last evening by the lad’s brother, Phil Macklin, of the Hub clothing store. He left for home at once, driving through and arrived twenty minutes before his brother died. The boy had gone to the bam to unharness one of the horses, an ordinary farm animal, usually quiet, and in some manner the horse kicked the boy in the throat just above the Adams apple cutting a deep gash, which bled profusely filling the lungs and eventually smothering the boy to death. A physician was summoned and everything possible done but the flow of blood could not be checked. Israiel was conscious until a half hour before he died but insisted that he was fatally injured. His parents and the seven brothers and sisters, who remain are grief stricken over the terrible accident. The lad had contemplated a visit to his brother; Phil here today and expected to remain over Sunday. Tae funeral services were held Sunday from the house. o— Monroe, a few miles over in Adams county, has taken on something of a business boom. Recently a bank company has been organized, and a mill and elevator of goodly capacity is being put in. Monroe has been sleeping for some time, and if she wakes up and kicks the covers off, there may be something doing in that burg one of these days worthy the name. —Willshire Herald. The Jay Birds lost the Wednesday game to Decatur, the Adams county bunch taking the game 3 to 2. Hunt pitched the game for Portland. The locals have now taken two out of three from Decatur and as the same teams meet here next Sunday afternoon the contest promises to be a hard fought one, as the visitors will endeavor to even up. It will be the first really fast team that has appeared here for a Sunday game.—Portland Review.
