GREW UP IN A NIGHT

LAWTON NOW A BUSTLING CITY OF THOUSANDS. The Wonderful Town on the Plains of Oklahoma Probably Has No Parallel in the History of the United States. There is nothing in the history of the country that will bear comparison with the wonderful city of Lawton (named in honor of the brave American general who was killed in the Philippines) that a few weeks ago sprang into existence over night on the plains of Oklahoma. A desert one day, it was a city of tents tho next, with a hustling, bustling population of thousands. A city of tents one week, it was a city of substantial frame dwellings the next, with stores and schools and churches and banks, and with business enough to keep every one on the jump for twelve hours out of each twen-ty-four. From a couple of acres square the townsite has “slopped over” in every direction, until now some of Its principal streets are nearly two miles In length. It doesn’t matter that the houses have been run up without chimneys. Bricks are scarce in Lawton, and in that climate chimneys are not needed before December, and by that time the railroad will have deposited bricks enough to give each of the 800 housea now standing a chimney. When the site of Lawton was first selected a ranchman who thought he knew the country pretty well shook his head and prophesied that the town never would amount to anything. "There’s nothing here to support a town. It’ll dry up and blow away," was his prediction. There were others who thought as he did. But these pessimists are shown to have been mistaken. Lawton is destined to become the center of a prosperous district whose mineral and agricultural resources will support it and keep it growing for many years. There can be no doubt that Lawton Is the biggest city of its age in the world, or that Comanche County, of which it is the county seat, with its 2,700 square miles of farm and pasture lands, is the home of the busiest, most energetic and progressive community to be found to-day in all the Southwest. The opening of the country to settlement was en improvement on any opening of new territory by Uncle Sam. The money from the sales of town lots is to be used for the benefit of all the people. Tho rent of the school land is a perpetual fund to run the schools. To the extent that it goes, the plan is ideal. For several years there need be no taxes for public Improvements, and there need be no school tax as long as the rent will cover the school expenses. The most exaggerated business condition of the new town is the fact that eighty-six saloon licenses have been applied for. It is estimated that a dozen would supply all demands. The development of the Lawton postoffice is said to be without a parallel. On Aug. 9 Postoffice Inspector Hosford of Wichita. Kan., opened the postofflee in a small tent and was in charge for a few days. Upon the arrival of T. J. White, the new postmaster from Arkansas City, Kan., the office was turned over to him and his bond was SSOO. In three weeks his bond was raised to $86,000. With a deputy postmaster and twelve clerks it is all that he can do to keep up with the business. The business now equals that of a first-class office. The next largest development is the banking business. Prominent among these is the First National Bank, which opened in a tent Aug. 6. Its deposits now amount to over $300,000. The City National Bank started the same day, has deposits of $360,000. Two other banks have been started during the past two weeks—the Citizens’ Bank of Lawton and the Citizens’ State Bank. All these banks are now in their temporary frame buildings. The postoffice has moved into a larger building adjoining the First National Bank. And-as an evidence of the desire of the people of Lawton to build well from the start, it may be said that plans for a $50,000 court house are being considered, and that efforts are being made to aecure the establishment there of the Southwestern Normal School.

CZOLGOSZ IN COLLAPSE.

Upon Arrival at Auburn Prison He Falls on the Floor Mosnlnx. Czolgosz, President McKinley’* murderer, arrived under heavy guard at Auburn prison Thursday night. In going the fifty yard* from the train to the prison Czolgoss’* legs gave out either for fear of tha crowd or from sight of the prison, and two deputy sheriff* were compelled to practically carry the man into the prison. Inside the gate his condition became worse and he was dragged up the stairs and Inta the main hall. He was placed in a aitting posture on the bench while the handcuff* were being removed, but he fell over and moaned and groaned, evincing (be moat abject terror. A* in the case es aM prisoners, the officers immediately proceeded to strip him and pnt an a new suit of clothe*. During this operation Csolgoss cried and yelled, making the prison corridor* echo with evidence of kis terrqr. The prison physician declared that the man was suffering from fright and terror. The collapse of the murderer was a surprise to every one. En rout* from Buffalo he talked some and expressed regret for bi* crime. He said: “I am especially sorry for Mrs. McKinley.” lie reiterated his former statement that be had had no accomplices. To Jailer Mitchell he sent this message to his father: “Tell him I’m sorry I left such a bad name.”

Odds and Ends.

Attorneys for Schley seem to hav* their doubts as to whether Admiral Cotton’s testimony is all wool. Th* st*«l trust did not lose money on the strike; It just shoved up prices and disposed of it* shopworn stock.

FIRST OF THE CUP RACES.

It la Ended by a Flaky Wind, wit the Co'ambi* Par Ahead. After having tried for five and one-ha hours to complete the first race betwee Shamrock 11. and Columbia for tt America's cup, the regatta committc fired a gun and set the signal declarin the race off. The time limit agreed upo had expired, with the lightship barely 1 sight The breeze that had promised gl< rious sport at the start had died awa; and the racers were left with their sail looking like a washday on a man o' wa: At this time Columbia, the old faithfu was something more than a mile ahea of the burnished bronze challenger. Although the first of the season's race for the America's cup could not .be fin ished within the time limit, the showin made by the Columbia was such as t strengthen confidence considerably in it ability to win. That the Shamrock 11 is a remarkably fast craft and a dangen ous competitor has been demonstrated. I A new boat embodyiug the best akll of its experienced designer, built withoul regard to cost, trimmed into perfed shape and carrying a spread of sail con siderably larger than that of the Colum bia, there was ground for the apprehen sion that the Shamrock 11. would noonly win, but win easily.
