Delegate Dennis T. Flynn is enthusi
astic over the growth and prosperity of
Oklahoma. In conversation with the
St. Louis Glob .'-Democrat's Washington
correspondent he discussed the develop
ment of the territory enthusiastically.
He said: "There was never such a
steady flow of good people with money
into any new possession of this country
as has been and is today converging
Into Oklahoma, and the people of the
east have no conception of it.
"If jou don't believe it, try to get a
seat in a Pullman car going through
the territory. They are as crowded as
the day coaches. It is impossible for
the average passenger at a way station
to get a seat on any train in the terri
tory, so great is the multitude of peo
ple traveling. It is estimated that,
aside from the rush of settlers, 20,000
people from the two states of Iowa
and Illinois alone have come to us and
bought farms inside of two years. Not-

When P,oosevelt was five years old,
he came around to the family church
early one Monday mornirg. He found
the sexton busy cleaning up. Young
Roosevelt opened the door and looked
m. The sexton noticed him and told
him to come in If he wanted to. Teddy
made no reply, but carefully looked at
roof, ceiling and floor. When young
Roosevelt returned home, his mother
asked him where he had been.
"I have been to church looking for
the zeal," replied the boy.
"The zeal!" exclaimed the mother.
"What do you mean ?"
"Why," replied Teddy, "the preacher
spoke yesterday about the 'zeal that
devoureth man,' and I wanted to see
it."
The president shook his head sadly
when this story was told to him.

Balloon For Ufarooni's Experiments.
William Marconi, the inventor of
wireless telegraphy, who is at St.
John's, N. F., conducting experiments
with his system, succeeded the other
afternoon in floating a balloon 200 feet
above the summit of Signal hill, which
is 600 feet high and overlooks the har
bor of St. John's, says the New York
Tribune. This balloon is fastened by a
series of stays which render it almost
motionless. It holds up the vertical
steel wire which is used in the system
of wireless telegraphy in communicat-

"And what do you think of this:
Many of the farms that were given to
settlers as free homesteads only two
years ago are now selling for $10,000
each. There is something doing out
With us.
"Oklahoma has a territorial extent
nearly as large as that of the great
state of Ohio. It has a population of
half a million. It has an assessed valu
ation of taxable property of $300,000,
000. It has the largest native bom pop
ulation of any state or territory in the
Union. We boast of the largest and
best public school system of any state
admitted within recent years. Our cli
mate is unsurpassed, and we can raise
corn, wheat, oats, cotton, peanuts, rye,
sweet potatoes and other agricultural
products on the same piece of land,
which is a good combination to play to
for a farmer.
"The opening of the new lands under
5
An lixeellent Combination.
The pleasant
the wise and able administration of
Secretary Hitchcock has added fully
100,000 new people to our population.
The manner of opening these new lands
was an entire change from all prece
dents since the government was organ
ized and has redounded not only bene
ficially to the people of the territory,
but to the administration as well.
"Oklahoma has more state and na
tional banks and more money on de
posit in them than any other agricul
tural section in the country. Brick and
frame houses are being erected faster
than the material can be supplied. The
people are not only prosperous, but are
happy. They only ask now for one
right to which they are entitled, and
that is statehood. We raised a surplus
of 30,000,000 bushels of wheat last
year, and the total crop was 40,000,000 j
bushels. We wear smiles with our good
clothes. The various industries and oc-1
cupatlons are all thriving and, while
there has been a short cotton and corn
crop by reason of the drought, an abun
dance of other crops and great com
mercial activity have prevented any
stringency in financial matters.
"When we come into the Union, we
will come in with colors flying. Okla
homa raises the finest staple cotton,
only being surpassed by that of the
south sea islands. More miles of rail
- road have been and are being con
structed there during the past two
years than in any other part of the i
country. The territory is fairly being
gridironed by the old trunk lines as
well as by new companies who want
our traffic. The fruit crop, of which
little is said, is one of the best. The
jobbers are now using our peaches to
compete with the best California
brands. The prospect of the next
wheat crop is very promising, and
thousands of cattle are being wintered
Ion the wheat lands. The opening of the
Kiowa and Comanche country has giv
en great impetus to the development
of these rich lands, and oil and gas
have already been discovered.
"I shall advocate that all future
lands shall be opened to settlement In
the same manner as were the last
lands opened. Under the present man
agement by the interior department
the settlers are guaranteed freedom
from blackmail and contest, while the
counties are guaranteed freedom from
indebtedness by the sale of lots in the
county seat towns and the proceeds
used for improvements.
"Just think of three county seats
containing 320 acres in what was a
wilderness on the Gth of August last
bringing within twenty days thereafter
about $"r0,000 from the sale of lots,
the money to be expended for improve
ments in the counties in which they
are located. And we still have several
Indian reservations of several million
acres of public lands, which can be
entered in 1G0 acre tracts under the
homestead law.
"Our people have the greatest per
sonal admiration for President Roose
velt, as they think he is a man of
great courage and ability, and," con
cluded Mr. Flynn as he disappeared
within the door of the committee room,
"when he signs the bill this winter
making Oklaiioma a state, we will
love him all the "more."

HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY.
F. A. WERMIAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS:
Baltimore, Md., March 30, 1901.
Gentlemen ; Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you
a full historv of my case, to be used at vour discretion.
About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost
my hearing in this ear entirely.
I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num
ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that
only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would
then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever.
I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat
ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and
to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you
heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours,
F. A. WERMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Mtt.
