Three referendum projects propos-

school at Chickasha, tha* university
preparatory school at Claremore and
the east central normal school at Ada
which were being pushed iby Camp-

the state capital, fell by the wayside
today, all three short of the required
number of signatures for submission.
This allows the bills to become ef-

signers had been secured to Russell's

held up pending a referendum vote
for their adoption or rejection.

cation of the state capital on a virgin

if located at aill should be established
at the ideal capital. Russell is also

Promplty at two o'clock this after-
noon Sheriff Chambers and deputies
applied the torch to the Iblg pile of
furniture seized by county officers
on the recent raids and within half
an hour several thousand dollars'
worth of gamblling apparatus had
been destroyed. A large crowd had
gathered to witness the destruction
of the property and among the spec-
tators were a number of men who at
one time owned some of the furniture
which they saw go up in smoke.

gun of the artillery salute which im-
mediately followed was the signal
for an outburst of cheering, which
was swollen to thunderous applause
by the sons and daughters of the vet-
erans. Tears dimmed the eyes and
coursed down the cheeks of the "uoys
in gray" and their emotion-chokei
voices would have been but a feeble
effort had it not been for the as-
sistance given by a younger and
homage-paying generation.
General Clement A. Evans, of At-
lanta, delivered the presentation
speech and was enithlusiastically
cheered by the veterans. At the con-
clusion of General Evans' address
Major-General Frederick D. Grant, V
S. .A, spoke briefly, accepting on
behalf of the War Department the
sacred trust imposed upon it by the
whole nation. Gen. Grant was fol-
lowed by Col. George R. Peck of Chi-
cago. who delivered the oration of
the day. The exercises were closed
with a benediction by the Rev. H. F.
Sproles, I). I)., a prominent Confed-
erate veteran and a warm personal
friend of Gen. Stephen D. Lee.
The event today was a fitting close
to what is universally recognized as
probably the last "great" gathering
of the Confederate veterans, which
concluded its sessions yesterday at
Memphis. Thousands of veterans,
their families and friends, took ad-
vantage of the reduced rates to come
front Memphis to this city to attend
the unveiling. The crowd was fur-
ther increased by the presence of
many visitors from all parts of Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana. Both states
were represented by their highest
officials as well as by many other
prominent citizens.
The unveiling of the statue was
the fruition of several years oi pa-
tient and loving effort, and every man
who wore the Southern uniform had
in his heart a desire to ibe present.
Touching sentiment was heard 011
every side and the thanks of tlie en-
tire nation were offered by the ora-
tors to 'those whose generous con-
tributions resulted in the erection of
the memorial.
The memorial is the first statue of
a Confederate officer to be erected in
the Vicksburg national military park.
It occupies a prominent, high eleva-
tion in the park, just south of the
A. & V. railroad, where Gen. Lee
w.as placed in command of his troops
during the memorable siege of Vicks-
burg.
The statue was modeled by Henry
Hudson Kitsou, the Massachusetts
sculptor. The figure is of colossal
size, standing nine feet high. The
attitude is that of expectancf, of
momentary rest before decisive ac-
tion. The left leg is raised and
thrown forward, and tht unsheathed
sword, held in both hands, rests upon
it, the scabbard hanging by the side.
The uniform and accountrements are
the familiar ones of the wearers of
the gray. The insignia of rank ap-
pear on the coat collar. The buttons

s:;jrs. Tin* details of dress were care-
fully worked out by the sculptor, but
with an evident purpose not to de-
tract from the main motive, that of
creating a faithful likeness of one
of the il>est beloved of generals in
the Confederate Army.
The cost of the memorial was in
the neighborhood of $10,000, which
sum was raised by contributions
from many sources. North and South.
I: was made possible largely through
the energy and initiative of Captain
William T. Rigby, chairman of the
national military park commission,
who. as an lowa soldier. fought
against General Lee in 186,'!, and
who, as an associate in the .work o'
the commission, became one of his
warmest friends and admirers.

TING CHEAP PAVEMENT
The Hill Company Is Accused of Sulw
StituLiii^* Clieup Mali rial on
the Work.
I According to rej>orts emanating
from the capital city. Guthrie is be-
ginning to wonder whether her low
I price for paving Is not going to prove
pretty expensive after all- Some
time ago the Hill company was
awarded a contract at Guthrie at a
price somewhere under $2.00 a yard
under the terms of which the com-
apny agreed to lay a pavement com-
posed of a "scientific prtparation" of
asphalt. The citizens were elated at
the prospective saving to taxpayers
on account of the low price but now
they are thoughtfully gazing at a
pavement "as full of holes as a
sieve." The Hill company is accus-
ed of substituting cheap material in
order to "come out even on the con-
tract," it being asserted that the
company could not follow specifica-
tions and make money at the price
bid.
The Slate Capital lias the following
to say:
Is the City Being Soaked?
"Noble avenue looked beautiful
when first completed. Now look at
it. As full of holes as an old sieve.
The shoes of animals have made
holes a half inch or more deep all
over it. Seems to be bad material.
Mayor Farquharson and the council
have been after the paving contract-
ors. They have an expert chemist
and a new engineer—and yet the
work does not seem to be what it
should be. The cement work was
stopped on West Noble, the other
day, because the rock was not sieved
as per contract, dirt and all going
It appears some rare watchful-
s is necessary. The contract was
taken very cheap and all contractors
have said that Hill would have to
wop1: iu the "Dutchman's Overcoat"
ir. a good many places to play even.
The new administration is watchful
and it appears it cannot be too
much so. In the meantime, what
ails Noble avenue? Is it a bad jotb?
This should be thoroughly determ-
ned before it is paid for."

Indignation Among tin- Citi/cus

Sapulpa, Okla., June 11.— Eviden-
ces of what is declared by the offi-
cers to be a systematic effort to mis-
treat young girls, passengers or
trains that atop here, is strengthen-
ed by the arrest, Wednesday night
of a man who was trying to persuade
a young woman to accompany him
from the station when a policeman
interfered.
Indignation among citizens was in-
creased by the refusal of the girl to
appear against her alleged annover
in police court Thursday morning,
btcause of the added publicity that
would be given the affair. There is
talk of tar aud feathers and horse-
whipping for the man, but the po-
ller do not fear actual violence.

Shawnee, Okla., June 11.—
"State of Oklahoma,
Pottawatomie County, ss:
"To His Excellency, the Governor
of the S ate of Oklahoma:
"Dear Governor—We, the under-
signed citizens of aforesaid county
and state, respectfully ask you to ap-
point a superior judge for this coun-
ty. We don't belong to the liar as-
sociation, the Ministerial association
nor the bootleggers' association,
any other order or association, but
we want a superior judge, and
once. We want you to make the
pointment without the dictation of
others who are trying to serve their
own selfish interests. Just fire in
and make the appointment and we
will stay with you. We don't c
what his politics or religion are;
neither do we expect an honest man
We don't care whether he Is a law
yer—just so he has good common
sense. We want a judge."
The above Is a copy of a petition
that is being circulated today. It
shows the state of the public mind
regarding the jurgeship appointment
and is being signed by hundreds
Lawyers, ministers, bootleggers and
politicians are barred. Just the plain
every-day, common, honest citizens
are affixing their signatures to this
petition, which will be presented to
the governor upon his return from
Memphis. %
The petition is more than half In
earnest. The people at large—repub-
licans, democrats, socialists and men
of no politics at all—are disgust
at the manner In which the judgeship
appointment Is dragging along. In
stead of coming nearer a conclusion
matter appears to Ibe. getting
more complicated daily. It is now
openly asserted that over half the
lawyers of the city have been abso
lutely disqualified for holding the po-
sition.

"This divorce is refused. Evi-
dence shows that the defendant, nils-
named a man, in realty a monster,
commanded the plaintiff to obtain a

by the too willing Spouse, or of living
with a man who Is no longer in the
truest sense a husband.
"Sometimes It is the wife who
grows indifferent to the husband and
the necessary story which will loosen
