A LITTLE RAIN WANTED.
Now that harvest is over, a nice
little rain would be acceptable; not
a gully-washei, but a niee gentle rain
that would moisten the top of the
ground. Crops are looking fine, corn
and cotton especially promising fine
yields, but vegetables and pastures
and garden truck would be greatly
benefited by a good rain.

The Progressive Club gave a very
pretty luncheon and shower on Sat-
urday afternoon, at the home of Mrs.
L. J. Edwards, honoring Miss Suzie
Taylor, a bride of this week. In ar
riving the guests were served with an
iced punch. The afternoon was spent
in needle work, for Miss Taylor, and
with a guessing contest, pertaining
to matrimony. Little Miss Dorothy
Holland then entered with a white
parasol covered with miscelleous
gifts, tied in the club colors of pink
and white.
The club gift to the bride elect was
a beautiful silver fork, with the date
anu initials on it. After the shower,
a most delicious four course luncheon
was served in the dining room. I rom
the chandelier hung pink hearts of
various sizes, tied in white ribbon, A
bowl of cut flowers in pink and white
formed the center decoration for the
table. Theclub colors also prevailed
in the Luncheon. Mrs. Martha Taylor,
mother of the bride-to-be, was a spec-
ial guest. The club members present
were Miss Suzie Taylor, Mrs. Earl
Sneed, of Tulsa, Okla., Mrs. James
McCaleb, of Purcell, Okla., Miss Edith
Miller, of Oklahoma City, Mrs. Oscar

L. D. Abney, of the 1910 law
class of the University, has opened an
office over the First National bank.
The Transcript wishes him the best
of success in his chosen profession.
Mr Abney is and always has been a
warm friend of the University, as
evidenced by his work for the institu-
tion while he was a member of the
legislature.
having gone through such a terrific
experience.
The body of Mr. Mathews was re-
moved to the undertaking rooms of
Meyer, Meyer & Morris, where it was
embalmed and prepared for burial.
It is being held pending information
from his former home in Texas.
The deceased was a stranger in
Norman, having been in the county
only about a month. He was an ex-
pert automobile man, and had done
some work for the county in cleaning
up and repairing the road tractor, and
had also worked for F. J. Tullius and
for a farmer near Moore. Little is
known of his antecedents. He seems
to have gone under two names, hav-
ing registered at Hotel Agnes as "C.
S. Mathews" and received and sent
mail as "I. S. Surely." From letters
found on his person it is indicated that
he is a married man with two children,
his wife being with her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Rutledge, at Mobeetie, Tex.
He wore a hat which had been pur-
chased at Ashtabula, Ohio, indicating
he was either formerly from that
state or was a man who had travelled
extensively. The letters from his
wife, "Cora" were loving in tone and
spoke of the two children and how
they were all longing for the time he
would get settled and send for them.
They also spoke of a registered letter
having been received from him.
The machine in which the men were
riding was a "stripped" Ford, owned
by Clifford Meyer. Mr. Meyer had
left it at the Ford garage for repairs,
and after it had been fixed up, Nel
son Frazier, Mathews and Dick Harri
son got into it to give it a "try out'

was because the body of Mathews act-
ed as a cushion, keeping him away from
the engine. As showing the force of
the impact, three of the bars on the
cow-catcher were broken.
The train stopped within a block
of the scene of the accident and train
men and others were quickly doing all
they could for the injured men.
The car was wrecked almost be-
yond repair.
DON'T BE FOOLED.
A solicitor is circulating 'round
town taking orders for envelopes on
which he proposes to print a ooost
for Norman. The scheme DOES NOT
have the endorsement of the Chamber
of Commerce, and merchants should
net patronize it without thorough in-
vestigation. In fact, the Chamber of
Commerce is now arranging copy for
a booklet, telling of Norman and its
great advantages, and in connection
therewith will have suitable copy pre-
pared for the backs of envelopes,
WHICH WILL BE PRINTED AT
HOME AND THE PRINT SHOPS OF
NORMAN GIVEN THE WORK.
Why patronize SOME OUTSIDE
MAN AND ALLOW HIM TO GET A
RAKE-OFF?
Turn down these outside solicitors
unless they have the endorsement of
the Chamber of Commerce. If they
have a legitimate scheme, they will
have that endorsement in writing;
and if :hey don't have it in writing,
it is dollars to doughnuts their scheme
is one of which the merchants should
fight shy.
Don't be fooled by these outside
promoters. ^

rough. The Mays' place, first east
of the railroad, has numerous trees
around it, cutting off the view to the
north, and the machine had almost
reached the railroad before the men
noticed the train, which was coming
from the north down the grade at u
rapid rate. It was probably some fifty
feet from the crossing when Frazier
noticed it, and he then tried to stop
his machine, and, failing in that, put
on full steam to cross in front of it,
but too late to do so.
The cow-catcher of the engine hit
the machine with terrific force, throw-
ing it around, and then seems to have
struck it again in the back. The firrt
hit demolished the north front wheel
and front of the car, and the second
tore the body of the car from the run-
ning gear and threw it fifty feet or
more, with thf. two men in it. Frazier
hung on like grim death, and to this
fact ascribes his escape, but Mathews
seems to have let go all holts and
when the body of the car hit he was
thrown some fifty feet further, light-
ing on his head. Great splotches of
blood marked the spot where he was
picked up. He was taken up and laid
upon a cot, which was taken to the
Mays' residence. Physicians were
called, but nothing could be done for
him, and he passed away in about an
hour. His chief injury was to his
head, the whole skull being crushed m
and the brains oosing out of the
wound. His body was >-emarkabiy
free from any serious bruises.
