OIL BURNING DAILY
Shreveport, La., May 22.—Fire,
which broke out in the Producers'
Oil Co. well, four miles west of Viv-
ian. La., seven days ago, as the re-
sult of an explosion which killed one
man and injured three others, is still
raging with heavy loss. The well is
estimated to have a daily capacity of
5,000 barrels, which is being con-
sumed, and the sityatiou, instead of
improving, seems to be getting worse.
Efforts to extinguish the fire by
smothering it with steam from 30
immense boilers and to stop it with
8-pound shot fired from a cannon
proved fruitless. Dynamite has been
I taken to the scene for use in the
third effort.

Chicago, 111.. May 22.—Edward
Hlnes, millionaire lumberman, will
be deposed from the presidency of
the National Lumbermen's Associa-
tion at their annual meeting Wednes-
day. Edward Griggs of Tacoma,
Wash., will succeed him, according
to the plans of delegates arriving
here.
The delegates insist on Hines' re-
tirement on account of his connection
with the scandal of United States
Senator Lorimer's election fund,
which places the association in a bad
light before the public.
National News Association.
Mexico City, May 22.—With Cuer-
navaca in the hands of the insurrec-
tos, Figueroa is preparing to continue
his march to Mexico City. The sit-
uation has reached an acute stage
and is causing members of Diaz' cabi-
net to fear for their lives, as it is
generally reported Figueroa has
vowed to execute the leaders of the
present government if he captures
the capital.
Diaz is now too ill to see anybody.
8eneral Zapata, Figueroa's chief
ally, refused to see the peace envoys
yesterday and when they returned
again they were kicked from the
camp. Zapata has completely
pudiated Madero and says that even
if Figueroa accepts him he (Zapata)
will continue the revolution inde-
pendently.
Madero's followers fear General
Reyes. Many predict he will never
land in Mexico, and if he does there
are many persons banded together
to prevent him from becoming too
powerful.
The signing of the peace pact has
not quieted the terror here and even
the most optimistic predict a reign
of anarchy lasting many years.

Kansas City, May 22.—Following
a desperate fight by Mrs. Young with
a vicious dog yesterday, to save her
children, the mayor has ordered the

A record-breaking crowd was at-
tracted to the formal opening of Ben-
Bon Park yesterday. The weather
was ideal and the great throng found
many amusements to make their stay
pleasant at Oklahoma's most beauti-
ful pleasure resort.
The Boston Bloomers defeated the
Tecumseh Fads on the baseball dia-
mond In an Interesting game, the
score standing 11 to 6.
The general Impression had gotten
abroad that the gentler sex had en-
tered the great national upon merely
for exhibition purposes and to draw
crowds of curiosity-seekers, but the
boys across the river now feel that
an entirely erroneous Idea has been
harbored.
Five women participated in the
game and they took the lead in ev-
ery way. They filled the positions of
pitcher, first, second and third bases
and shortstop. All were experts. The
pitcher, who weighs leBS than 100
pounds, placed the Fads in a maze
of partial paralysis by the deft and
puzzling manner in which she
handled the sphere. She was also
up to every trick of the game and
could paBS the ball to first base with
her eyes trained on the home plate.
The Fads did not get a .core until
after the sixth inning. And while the
Bloomer Girl, were stars in the field,
they showed to equally fine advan-
tage at the bat and In running bases.
One of them Boaked the ball a whack
that was not only good for a home
run but let In three runs from full
bases.
A large crowd was In attendance.

JOKE ON THE OLD MAS
One man Jones and his son John came to town the other
day and sold their hogs. The man they sold to gave each of
them a check on this bank for the proper amount. Now the
old man was just a little too wise. "Says," says he, ' if It is
Just the same to you 1 would rather have the cash," and asked
John if he wanted the cash also. John said he had Just as
soon have the check. John gave the check to his father to
keep for him, but on the way home the old man lost htsi
pocketbook and although they looked high and low It could
not be found. The money and check were both lost forever.
But say, John came back to the man who gave him the check
and the man Just gave him another check for the amount and
notified this bank that if the old check turned up not to pay
it—see? But he wouldn't give the old man some more cafihl
A CHECK ON THIS BANK IS BETTER THAN CASH.
