OUR TRIP.
As oar friends know the editor
and wlfo have beeu gone from
home for lvo weekp, and while
we have been having a royal time,
it has grown old to ns; bat yet
may be interesting to oar readers
we will attempt to write it up.
While were on the wing all the
time, riding on trains at night,
seeing new bights, meeting friends
and making new acquaintances
all the time, we came borne feel
ing better than when we went
away.
We left Chickasha on the morn
ing of the 2Gth by way of HI Reno
and Oklahoma City, over the
Frisco, arriving at Viuita, I. T. at
C p. m. on the 27th to nieet with
the Editorial Territorial Associa
tion. The Association was slimly at
tended, bat was earnest and en
thusiastic. The committee on
reception was not exactly what it
ought have been, hat the towu
was small and easily managed
by the incoming members without
UNMHiaiice. After the nsaal roa
tine badness of the day the, asso
ciation was given a bauqaet in
the opera -ail, which consisted of
a rt-gal sapper, interspersed with
Biieecbeft from editor, citizens
and i tingai h d men.
At Viiiiii we were quartered at
the Cobb House when wo were
given the best and found it a first
class house. The rain and mod
at Yiuitu prevented our seeing
much of ha city. It has a popu
lation of about 4000 people, locat
ed in a fine agricultural region,
and enjnys a good trade. The
streets aud walks in Viuita are
attout the same as in Chickasha,
which is sony enough, at best.
The buildingf, are perhaps some
lie ter, or at least more good
buildings tbiiu we hare. It is
among the oldest towns in the
territory.
On Satjrdity morning we left
Viuita and went to ( laremore to
catch the Missouri Pacific railroad
to Kanfa City. Having several
hours at this place the people of
Claiemore gave us an informal
banquet which was another
feabf, interspersed with speeches,
a noug them being a short ad
dress by Hon. Mr. Breckenridge
of the Dawes commission. After

the feast the editors and girls
took tne train for Kansas City,
landing there at abont 7 a. m.
We had a car to ourselves, And it
was a night of revelry feu and
short snatches of sleep.
Claremore is a nice little town
of about 1500 people, in a beauti
ful agricultural region. The town
is named after a celebrated Indian
chief who who waa killed in a
battle on a mound which bears
his name. In this battle between
the Cherokees and Osages the
Cberskees defeated the Osages,
killing a larger part of them and
driving the remainder into the
Verdigris river where they were
drowned. On the mound is jet
found many relics of the battle,
and is a favorite place for vis
itors. At Claremore we were tbe
guests of Mr. and Mrs. A. L.
Kates; editor and owners of the
Claremore Progress. They were
the life of the party. Mrs. Kates
is an amaible lady, full of life, first
in anything to have fun and Bee
tbe sights. The people of Clare
more are a eeneroua and whole-
souled people.
Leaving Claremore at 9 p. m.
we found ourselves in Kansas
City the uext morning at 7 and
alter breakfast boarded tbe train
for St. Louis, over the Missouri
Pacific This road skirts the big
Missouri river all the way down,
at times having the muddy river
on one side and tbe high pre
cipitous bluff on the other. Tbe
road frequently plunges into a
tunnel through one of these bluffs.
The route is very interesting and
tbe road is one of the best, and
trin service perfect.
Mr. Allison, of the Missouri
Pacific, shaperoned tbe party to
St. Louis and was untiring in his
efforts to give all tbe comfort and
pleasure in his power, and be suc
ceeded to the satisfaction of all.
Mr. Allison is all right and the
association could not have fallen
into bauds of a better guide nor
onto a better road than the Mis
soar! Pacific.
At St. Louis the gang put np
at the Rosier house, and had every
attention, going to the exposition,
Shaw's Garden, Forest Park, the
big E.tds bridge, aud witnessed
( the parade of the Veiled Prophets
AID
This was the grandest sight im
aginable, the floats glittering in
gold tinsel and illumination. The
streets were literally a jam of
human beings. Nothing occured
to mar the movement of the parade
in any part, and it was a night of
which the King Rex could well
be proud. The once mighty Mis
sissippi has dwindled and shrunk
into almost insignificance where
once the writer has seen steam
boats along tbe wharf as close as
they could crowd in for two miles
is now occupied by an old whirl
boat or two, a dilapidated old
stcrnwheeler was the only sem
blance of a once mighty traffic on
the father of waters. Then there
were floating palaces that travers
ed the waters from the gulf to St.
Anthony's Falls on the Upper
Mississippi, Yellowstone river in
the Missouri, Pittsburg, on the
Ohio, Lasalle on the Illinois,
while the Red, the Arkansas, the
Tennessee and other smaller riv
ers added their contingent, but
the greatness of tbe big river has
gone in shallow waters and the
railroads. With nil ita loss in river
traffic St. Loois goes on expand
in j. andlias an immense business,
being the largest boot and shoe
manufacturing city in the world,
and has a wholesale trade reach
ing over the United States.
On Tuesday night at 3 a m, we
left St. Louis on the fast mail for
Kansas City, arriving there at 10,
the next roorting We took in
everything in sight, going to thea
tres at night, seeing the the big
brewerief, the Karnivul Krew, etc.,
during the day. One night at the
Auditorium the editor was taken
Violently ill with acute neuralgia
in the right breast, a complaint lie
has had for a year or more, but this
time the attack was much more se
vere and lasted longer than common,
in fact holding on for two hours.
The pain was very severe but he
bore it rather than go ont and break
the pleasure of the party, which he
knew would follow him if he went
out sick. The pain had done its
work and he was unable to get out
alone. This attracted a crowd and
the editor found himself notorious
next morning by having his nan e
in the paper as having had heart
failure. It was not heart failure at
all, the pain bein confined entirely
