Last Wednesday morning a fellow
applied to Mayor Voegeli for a license
to conduct a marble and jewelery
stand on the streets of Norman assur
ing the Mayor that he would conduct
a lawful business. Mayor Voegeli
said the license would cost him $8.00
for the day. This surprised him and
he said it was too high as he usually
paid only $2.50 but Mr. Voegeli had to
have $8.00 before he would grant
license and the fellow paid the price
and opened up his business. It soon
turned out that County Attorney
Wolf thought the busines he was do-
ing was not a legitimate one and he
caused the arrest of two parties
seetning to be interested in the busi
ness. He tried one of them in the
afternoon and lost the case and the
other one
Some of the members of the city
council have exhibited a degree of
warmth because Mayor Voegeli does
not construe the law as giving him
power to call a special meeting of
the Board for any purpose but he
stated to the members of council
desiring a special meeting called
that if they would get a majority of
the council to request him to call a
special meeting that he would gladly
call such a meeting; but otherwise
he felt that he had no right to call
such a meeting. This was certainly
a fair proposition and the members
of the city council who takes excep-
tion to this proposition of the mayor
and floes around kicking because
the mayor refuses to call a special
meeting without the written request
of a majority of the council, only
reveals to people who know the facts
that he has very little ground to sup-
port his kicks and he would really not
look so awkward if he did not kick at
all.

A small charge of ten cents will be

hoped by the School Board and Super-
intendent Butcher, that as many of
the patrons of the school as possible
will come out and hear the exercises.
The Board and Superintendent have
labored hard during the past year
and so have students and they all feel
gratified over the success of their
efforts and it would please them very
much if the patrons of the school at-
tended the closing exercises in order

SECOND ANNUAL FIELD DAY.
Held at the University Grounds a Com-
plete Success.
The second annual field day of the
University of Oklahoma was held on
the University grounds Saturday
May 11. By 9 o'clock a crowd of
students and town people were ready
to see the events. Much interest
was shown by the spectators through-
out the entire program. The two
most interesting features seemed to
be the pole vault and the tug of war.
The preparatory students had accept-
ed a challenge from the college to a
tug of war, which was pulled off as
the last event. The Preps won.
Some good records were made, enough
to indicate an interesting contest at
the Guthrie meeting. Below is a list

second prizes offered by the business

FEMALE WEAKNESS CURED.
1 was troubled with severe female
weakness for over six months. I was
treated by six very prominent physic-
ians without any marked benefit. My
last doctor was a skilled specialist, and
he told me the only hope lay in an op-
eration. I heard of Smith's Sure Kid-
ney Cure, and after using it for one
month 1 find myself cured, and even
the doctor who last treated me now
pronounces me well.

A Man Hunt.
For sometime a fellow known as
"Scarred Faced Charley" has had a
tent and several women in it down on
the South Canadian river near the
Adkins crossing and a few days ago
took occassion when down in Lexing-
ton and Purcell to give those towns a
taste of high life which he seemed
abundantly capable of doing. The
marshal of Purcell came up to Nor-
man last Tuesday afternoon and
Deputy Sheriff Wadley and a few
other brave spirits went out to the
river to arrest Charley and having
surrounded the tent Deputy Sheriff
Wadley with double barrel shot gun
started up to tent with Liveryman
Campbell close by. The appearance
of Wadley coming up to tent seems
to have been first notice Charley had
of his danger of arrest and not caring
to draw fire on tent where women
were he ran out and took a shot at
