Washington, Aug. 17.—A special
announcement l y the weather bureau

with no breeze or clouds. The As-
sociated Press sent out the follow-
ing on the weather at noon:
Hot Elsewhere Also.

Frisco tracks and the Swigert pri-
mary room on West Broadway to the
steel plant addition. No action was

Rev. Nelson of Oklahoma City,

is here arranging for the annual
convention of that faith. The session
of the Seventh Day Adventists will
be held in several large tents just
southeast of the Enid City Railway
car barns.
Rev. Nelson informed Clarence
Cline, superintendent of the street
railway company, that last year's
crowd would be equalled if not ex-
celled this year. Prominent men and
women of that faith are coming to
deliver talks and sermons.
The sessions begin on August 26th
and last until September 6th. An-
nouncement was made yesterday that
the Free Methodists of Oklahoma
will convene here the same week as
the Seventh Day Adventists. The
Free Methodists hold their services
at Lakewood park on the same dates.
Tents for the Adventists are now
being erected. The attendance will
likely reach 5,000, which increased
by the Free Methodists will add
greatly to the city's popoulation
temporarily.

A JAIL BIRD'S SUGGESTION
"Your honor you ought to suggest
to the city council that the city jail
either be Repaired or torn down,"
was the surprising remark of James
Kelly, a prisoner in police court to-
day. Kelly was arrested for being
drunk and found guilty, then sent to
work on the streets as he could not
pay a fine. Kelly said that the doors
were awry and to prevent another
jail break that the prisoners were
kept in a hot and stuffy room.
Kelly was admonished to forget
about his suggestions and to keep
out of jail after he secured his re-
lease.

The state baseball championship
will be fought for by Oklahoma City
and Enid whose nines will probably
be the champions of the Texas State
League and of the Western Associa-
tion respectively.
Yesterday J. H. Shaw, president,
and Teddy Price, manager, complet-
ed arrangements with Business Man-
ager Sabourn of the Oklahoma City
Mets for the exhibition games which
will be played after the close of the
two regular seasons.
On September 11, 12 and 13th at
Oklahoma City the Railroaders will
play the Mets for a goodly portion
of the receipts. On the 14, 15 and
16th the Mets will play the Rail-
roaders here.
Both teams are considered the
strongest in organized baseball in
Oklahoma and some pretty interest-
ing exhibitions should be seen. The
games will be almost as attractive to
Oklahomans as the; exhibition fcames
between the National and Major
league champions for the worlds
championship.
The day following the close of the
Western Association the Railroaders
will play the Guthrie Senators here
for three games, September 5, 6 and
7 and at Guthrie on the 8, 9 and
10th for a large amount of the re-
ceipts.
' It is not probable that the Rail-
roaders will go into the southwest
as planned. There will be a half
dozen baseball tournaments in Arizo-
na and New Mexico, but only Indi-
vidual players will go, the whole
team breaking up nfter the several
exhibition games here and around
the state.
UNCLE SAD! INVESTIGATES
TOWNSITE OF BOISE CITY
The department of the interior,
through the Kansas and Oklahoma
division of the general land office, is
preparing an investigation of a cer-
tain "townsite and immigration com-
pany" in connection with the town of
Boise City, in Cimarron county. The
results of that investigation will be
given the federal grand jury, which
convenes here the last of August.
It. appears that the company,
which was headed by J. E. Stanley, a
nephew of former Governor W. S.
Stanley, of Kansas, exploited the
townsite, selling "applications to
purchase lots" to people all over the
United States. The title of the com-
pany was very uncertain. Suckers
from everywhere helped out the en-
terprise to the extent of many thou-
sands of dollars. Now the govern-
ment says that Mr. Stanley and his
associates had no title to the land
and trouble is in prospect. Inter-
esting developments will come to
light later.
She Wants Her Salary.
Miss Winona De Hethewa, or in
stage life. Miss Mexico, has filed
with Justice H. O. Glasser a suit to
collect $35, her salary for the week
of August 8, at the Electric theater
here.
Miss Mexico was engaged to do a
Mexican song and dance act and she
played three nights and then was
discharged, the management alleg-
ing that her act was immoral.
Dacoma, Okla., 8-15-1909.
To The Enid Daily Eagle:
I see the Enid officers are having
trouble with what they term the
"Dirty Dozen," composed of boys
ranging from " to 13 years old and
in looking at the name of the boys I
see the name of a boy that my own
little boys used to run with and play
with. I used to live in Enid and I
could see where my own boys were
drifting to and my remedy was to
get them 011 a farm, and it has done
wonders for them. I have still got
one boy in Enid that don't belong
there no more than he does in the
penitentiary. The three boys, that
are on the farm are contented and
happy and would not go back to live
in town for any thing. They are in-
terested in our stock. We have
horses, cattle, hogs, turkeys and
chickens and they take good care of
them. We have been farming two
years and have managed to buy 160
acres which we made quite a good
payment 011 this year. We have 170
acres of corn this is fine and 4 0 acres
of broom corn ready to pull. So you
see my boys don't get much time to
get in trouble. Roys need employ-
ment, and the more real stuff there
is in a boy the more danger there is
in keeping him in idleness. My boys
are contented and happy and we are
batching too. Now 1 feel sorry for
those boys and hope something can
be done to rescue them. There is 110
question in my mind but those boys
have been neglected. I do know my
boys were neglected but the remedy
has worked so fine I still have hope
as 1 don't think there are any better
boys in Oklahoma than these three
that are on the farm.

. .. YOUNG WOW
GIVES 51,000 GASH SAIL
Enid has another mystery. Over a
week ago a man named James Lenox
was arrested upon information re-
ceived from Quincy, 111., charging
him with a statutory crime.
The officers in Quincy were noti-
fied and application for requisition
papers have been made. In the
meantime Lenox wanted out and yes-
terday an unknown young woman en-
tered the sheriff's ofTice and laid
down one thousand dollars cash as
bail and Lenox was at once released.
The officers have the young woman's
name but decline to make her ident-
ity public.
The hearing of the requisition for
Lenox comes up at Guthrie on Fri-
day.

BOY DASHI.D INTO AITTO
NOT AI TO INTO BOY.
Mrs. Champion, who owns auto
No. 78, which ran into a boy Satur-
day night, was seen by an Eagle 1
representative today and gave her
version of the case. She stated that
the car was just starting up and had |
not yet gained any speed worth men-
tioning. going very slow, when the
boy, 011 a bicycle, turning the wrong
side of the street, ran squarely into
the auto. He was thrown off his
wheel, then picked up by Mr. Dan-
iels, father of Mrs. Champion, and
stated that he was uninjured. Later
he rode around the city on his bi-
cycle some time. From this version
of the case there appears to havo
been no blame attached to Mrs.
Champion or her father, who was
running the auto.
