♦ New York, Aug., 9.—The ♦
♦ threatened strike of the 40,000 ♦
♦ railroad employes of the United ♦
♦ States was averted today when ♦
♦ the railroad brotherhoods accept- ♦
♦ ed an offer of the United States ♦
♦ board of meditation and concilia- ♦
♦ tion to mediate their differences ♦
I ♦ with the railroads. ♦
By a vote approximately 94 per
cent, of their membership, the four
railroad brotherhoods voted a day or
two ago to strike if their demand for
an eight-hour day and time and a half
for overtime was not agreed to by
railroads.
T,.e railroad managers in conven.
tion assembled in New York city to
day refused to concede to the demands
and as a counter proposition propose,)
a submission of the questions at issue
to the national board of arbitration
and conciliation. The trainmen have
heretofore refused to submit the dif-
ferences to that board, and it is prob-
able will again decline. If so, and
neither side recedes from its stand,
the greatest strike in the history of
the United States will be "on" in a
few days.
The railroad managers have been
preparing for it, it is said, and have
an army of non-union men ready to
I take jobs as soon as they are laid
down by the present workmen. The
I strike will involve engineers, firemen
I brakemen and conductors.

My RUTH NEWELL
—Don't forget that there's to be a
9c and 39c sale put on by a number
of Norman merchants Friday, Satur-
day and Monday next, and that big
bargains will be offered at these
prices.
—Prof, and Mrs. C. S. McCabe and
family are here from Kingfisher,
where Mr. McCabe was connected with
the schools. He comes to take a year's
post-graduate course. He attended
the university some twelve or fifteen
years ago.
PAVING CONTRACTS LET.
The city council at its meeting last
night let the contract for paving on
South Peters avenue to the Struble
company at $1.59 per yard. It is to
be the some material as in West Nor-
man, now being put in. Also, the
paving from the city hall to Red
Elevator on East Gray was let to the
same parties.
The gas franchise ordinance was
laid over for future consideration.
I AMREIN WILL NOT CONTEST
| Fred Amrein has concluded not to
ask for a recount of the vote at the
late primary on sheriff, but will "take
his medicine," and promises to get
behind Ben Wheelis with all his force
and intellect and influence to secure
the latter's election. He came to this
conclusion yesterday, after an all-day
conference with Democratic leaders.
What they promised mm to lay down
is not known, but evidently it was
a-plenty. Promises are like pie crust,
however—easily broken. Maybe he
got something tangible—for " a bird
in the hand is worth two in the bush."
He says not, however; declaring
he did not "sell out" but felt that to
make a contest would cost too much.
In the event of a recount on sheriff,
Judge B. F. Wolf also expected to ask
a recount on county judge, for which
nomination Geo. C. Burke defeated
him by a small majority, but as
Amrein has concluded to go no further
with the matter, it is probable Mr.
Wolf will also lay down. Mi. Wolf's
contention is that a recount would
hurt nobody; that if there were ir-
| regularities and wrong voting ai,d
j wrong counting, the public is entitled
to know it, and if those irregularities
and wrong voting and wrong count-
ing gave the nomination to some one
not entitled to it, the successful can-
didate should be given justice—which
seems eminently fair.
At this writing, therefore, it seems
probable that the Democratic county
ticket will stand as returned by the
election board—unless other compli-
cations arise; and they are liabl>? to
"arise" any old time.

Miss Naomi Lowe and Mr. Harry
Kettler were marred at the home of
the bride's mother, Mrs. R. E. Lowe,

the immediate family being present.
After the ceremony a two course

Mr. Kettler have known each other
since childhood. Both attended the
Kansas State university. Miss Lowe

FOURTEEN CENTS FOB COTTON
Although Wm. Morgan, the cotton
I buyer, is willing to contract to pay a
good round price for cotton, delivery
to be made in October or November,
he finds few takers among the farm-
ers. He was offering 14 cents this
morning. Prices at New Orleans were:
August $14.16; October $14.23; De-
cember 14.42; January $14.52; March
$14.69; May $14.85. Mr. Morgan says
the acreage is very large in these
parts and outlook good.

PARKINSON VS. RUSSELL.
Campbell Russel has cinched the
Democratic nomination for corpora-
tion commissioner, his majority over
J. H. Johnson, near competitor, being
some 4,000. Mr. Frank Parkinson of
Lawton is the Republican candidate,
and it is confidently predicted that
Russell will have the "time of his
life" getting elected, Parkinson has
a fine reputation all over the state as
being a square, honorable, upright
man, and one of most excellent
ability; one who will give every man
and every interest a "square deal"-
just the sort of man the state needs
on that important board. He has an
excellent chance of being elected.
Miss Mary Burke entertained a
number of her young friends at the
home of Mrs. J. J. Burke, ?,17 West

was most pleasantly spent with music

It is evident the Democratsof Cleve-

to whom they defer in all things, and
one whom they call upon to
straighten out the kinks they get into.
When he says "come," they come a-
runnin'; and when he says "go," they
go a-skootin'. It is said the Amrein-
Wheelis trouble was fixed up largely
through his efforts.
