OKLAHOMA C1TV. Okl.. July !.-An en
thusiastic recept'on nnd a rousing demon
rtratton from rough riders, cow-puncbers
and citizens o( all classes, white, black and
red, were accorded to Governor Theodore
Roosevelt of New York today.
The second annual reunion of Roosevelt'
famous regiment brought 10.000 persons to
thin little western city. Of the 1,100 men
who originally composed the Hough Rider
regiment about 500 were here to greet their
colonel. The surprising part of It Ik thai
the city took care of her guests so well. Of
course there wa- some Inconvenience, but
everybody was in the mood to take things
good naturedly and the second day of the
reunion can be described as a great success,
with but one distressing feature Tre was
an accident to Clifton George, secretary of
the local committee on reception, who was
thrown from his horse and Is thought to have
sustained fatal Injuries.
The central figure was the New York
governor and the guests of the city vied
with each other in extending to him a large
western ovation. The governor himself
rode a black charger In the procession, which
pased through the principal streets. He was
cheered all along the line, the cries "Hurrah
for Teddy," being the prevailing sentiment.
He wa not attired In the garb of the
Rough Riders, but wore a plain black cut
away coat. The brown sombrero and spurs
on his boots alone marked him as the
colonel of his famous regiment.
Pn tin-tic Kriiturr of the IJnr
The procession was formed of members of
the Grand Army of the Republic, the United
Confederate Veterans, cavalry from Fort
Reno, a band of cow men In their native
garb, members of the Twentieth Kansas,
First Tennessee and First Colorado regi
ments and civic organizations of Oklahoma
City and Gutblrc.
A pathetic Incident of the reunion today
waa tho presence of Mrs. Allen Capron,
the widow of Captatn Allen Capron of troop
Li of the Rough Riders. Mrs. Capron was
seated on the platform during the delivery
of Governor Rotsevelt'n address and the
greeting between her and the governor w-ns
very affecting. She carried in her hand
the guidon of the regiment draped In black
and w'hen the boys of the Hough Riders be re
to the platform the colors of the regiment
she wept bitterly. Mrs. Capron com to
Oklahoma especially to attend the reunion
of the regiment in whose affairs her hus
band bore so valorous a part.
The exercises of the day were held at
tho fair grounds and were presided over by
A. H. Classen, chairman of the local com
mtttec of entertainment. Governor Barnes
of Oklahoma and Mayor Van Winkle of this
city made welcoming addresses, and Mrs
A. S. Jennings of New York sang "The
Star Spangled Danner. Colonel Roosevelt
rose to his feet when the last strains of
the soul stirring anthem were heard and
soon the entire assemblage of 5,000 people
were reverently standing. The scene be
came dramatic when a Rough Rider un
furled the stars and stripes and waved the
banner over the governor's head.
A temporary interruption that threatened
to result In a panic happened during Gov
ernor's Barne1 spewh, One of the sup
ports to the speakers stand broke and H
waa thought for a moment that the struc
ture might fall.
lloosrrrlt Get n Welcome.
The Introduction of Governor Roosevelt
was the signal for nn extraordinary dem
onstratlon and at tlki he could scarcely
proceed with his address owing to the ap
clause.
The following is the governor's speech In
full:
My fellow citizens, men and women of
Oklahoma; I have never been In your ter
ritory until last night, but 1 feel at home
liere. You are bone of my bone. Mood of
my blood and to some of your sons I am
bound by the closest ties that can bind
one man to his brothers. I hope to come
down here often and the next time I come
1 hope to see you n state lou nave goi
free homes and now you need statehood.
(AriDlause).
1 know I don't have to say to you. least
of all to tbone who know me closely like
my comrades here, that I am with you
lieart and soul to aid you In whatever you
desire. 1 cannot say now deeply I appre
ciate the way in which the procession was
formed this mornlnc. with the blue and
the gray, with the men who fought In the
union armies having tli right of line and
following next those valiant comradeH with
whom they had fought thlrty-tlvc years
ago, each side proving the valor of the
other, ench entitled to be proud of the
rouruce of the men who wore the blue and
the men who wore the gray, now standing
under u flag forever united and placing this
nation among the foremost nations of the
earth.
And we of the younger generation, our
work was the veriest trifle, compared to
yours. As 1 have said before, ours was not
a rreat war. because It did nut have to be.
but we were all ready to make It Just as
big us necessary And I wunt today, first
of all, to thank the territory and city whose
guests we are tor tne mugnintent nospiiai
Itv extended to us and then to say how
plad I am we huve with us the men of the
Vlrst Colorado, who following Oencral
Irving Hale, anil men of the Twentieth
Kansas who followed Funston. and men o
the First Tennessee men of the different
volunteer regiments ai:d men also of those
plendld regulars, who In time of war and
in lime or peace are reuuy io uo ine uiu
ding of our common country- And I am
glad to see here today representatives of
the Ninth and Tenth cavalry, beside whom
we marched to victory on that blood-stained
morning two years ago last Sunday.
Objrrt I.fkunn in Ui innlon.
Men of Oklahoma, It Is eleven years since
you oponed Oklahoma. Why are you here?
hecause you expanded Into Oklahoma.
(Cheers and cries of "Hurrah for expan
sion!") This Is not politics, this is a state
ment of facts. Wherever the flag Is, us
long as there is an nrmed foe against It,
the flag stays Among those of my regi
ment who are here today are men partly
or In whole of the blood of the Pawnee,
the Cherokee, the Chlcknsaw and the CreeK,
the ancient owner of the soil Ono of the
men of tha blood I promoted for gallantry
til action, from h second lieutenant finally
to a captaincy. He was shot and before hU
wound was healed he Joined us ut the
front And now that man has a commis
sion In the army of the United Slates over
In the Philippines.
Now why w-as he- with me? Hecause you
had expanded over htm. because you had
treated him with Justice, beoaut-e you had
made one law the same for all men. If
Justice and wrongdoing ruin the nation that
does it, then another thing d .er it even
quicker, cowardice, cringing und flinching
from the work of tho world when the
world's work has got to be dorc We of

YOUNG AMERICA'S HOLIDA
Itnrket rteitnii I'romptly at Six and

Mb lit.
Two years ago the Spanish onion was In
bad odor ln the I'nlted States and no loyal
American would think of ordering it from
a bill of fare, but if this year young America
felt any similar compunction to the Chinese
firecrackers It was so slight as to be scarcely
appreciable. Perhaps It Is because the bad
news from the Flowery kingdom has not
been confirmed and the youthful diplomats
believe ln giving the pigtails the benefit of
the doubt. In any event the consumption
of paper-wrapped noise, colored fire and vil
lainous smells Is as general this year, seem
ingly, as ever before.
Hundreds of small boys watched the post-
offlce clock yesterday afternoon anxiously
awaiting the stroke of 6, for at that hour
the embargo was to be lifted from the city's
fireworks. The afternoon no doubt seemed
oppressively long. But at last the hour
struck or started to strike, whether the
clock completed the six strokes will never
be known, for they were drowned in a roar
of pops, cracks, bangs, booms, sizzles and
snaps which continued until far Into the
night. As the evening advanced sky rock
ets. Roman candles and fire balloons ap
peared above the rooofs at Intervals. Out
in the residence districts many a lawn bal
cony was converted Into a miniature arsenal,
resplendant ln varlgated fountains, pin
wheels oi. . other Ingeniously wrought

White Man Turned lelloir.
Great consternation was felt by the
friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexington, Ky.,
when they saw he was turning yellow. His
skin slowly chimged color, also his eyes,
and he suffered terribly. His malady was
Yellow Jaudlce. He was treated by the
best doctors, but without benefit. Then he
was advised to try Electric Bitters, the
wonderful Stomach and Liver remedy, and
he writes: "After taking two bottles I was
wholly cured." A trial proves Its matchless
merit for all Stomach, Liver and Kidney
troubles. Only 00c. Sold by Kuhn Co.,

She left no word as to why she bad taken

AFTER THE DELINQUENT SPECIAL TAXES
Council AUed to Authorise the Iliu
Iilojmrnt of Xpeclal L'onnsrl in
Order to Carry Ont the
Cauipaiicn.
City Treasurer A. H. Hennlngs has
turned hit attention to the Urge amounts
of money due the city on special assess
ments and pioposes to go after these taxes
with tbe same zeal that he has shown ln
the collection of delinquent personal taxes
Many cases arc pending in the courts in
volving delinquent special taxes and there
are so many legal controversies concerning
the taxes that Mr. Henntng desires to have
legal counsel before beginning action In
the matter. He presented the following
request for the council at Us regular meet
ing last night:
To the Honorable Mayor and City Coun
clt: I beg to request of your honorable
body the paksage of a resolution authoriz
ing me to employ legal counsel for advice,
assistance, und prosecution. If deemed tct.
ln connection with the unpaid special as
sessments now standing upon the city
treasurer's books.
The situation with reference to delinquent
special taxes and the absolute necessity of
some solution of this problem Is too well
known to you to require comment.
I believe that under the uowers given me
under the charter 1 can compel payment In
a large number of cases and 1 further
more believe It to be of the utmost Im
portance that the legal rights of the city
in relation to these assessments be deter
mined. At the threshold of this work I shall be
met by the necessity of having the undi
vided und continuous tidvlce and labor of
skillful counsel. Tho city attorney's of
fice Is at present overburdened with the
normal demands of the city upon It nor do
I bell'-ve that this work, which I now ask
you to authorize, should properly be
thrown upon -the city attorney's office at
this time.
Assuring your honorable body of my de
sire to serve the public ln the power now
asked at vour hands. I beg to remain, your
obedient servant, A. H. HENN1NGS.

City Engineer Rosewater reported that he
had examined tbe paving on Leavenworth
street between Twenty-fourth street and
Twenty-fifth avenue and found that It will
be Impossible to bring this paving up to
grade without great expense. This street
and all tbe building along It have settled
more than one foot. Ratstng the pavement
would necessitate the raising of sidewalks,
which would then be higher than the en
trances to the abutting store buildings. No
funds are available for the Improvement
and the city engineer advised that no change
In the street be made at present.
Tbe city engineer was authorized to change
the grade of Jones street between Twenty
fourth and Twenty-sixth streets in such a
manner that it will correspond with estab
lished grade.

empowering the Board of Public Works to
expend not more than $50 ln each ward for
cutting weeds on the principal streets, tbe
money, to be taken from tbe emergency fund.
The matter was referred to the committee
on street Improvements.
A resolution was adopted approving a ten

upon Seventh street north of Douglas street
and Dodge street between Seventh street
and tbe railroad right of way. The annual

ISTINGUISH between economy and wisdom.
Sitting at home to save shoe-leather is econo

way, doing without Ivory Soap is economy

possible saving. Every cheap soap contains free
