COURT HOUSE “GANG” BEATS
TALOGA “RING” 7
After arguing: and quibbling
for a week over who would win
in the Business men— Court
house base ball game the husky
business men of Taloga met the
county officers on the field of
' ' battle Monday evening and got
‘‘took” For the “gang” as the
- court house players are known
Sheriff Perry Skelton the hand'
r somest man o f all did the
twirling act He performed so
gracefully that the “smart set”
said that his pitching was “per-
fectly lovely” And Chemical
Kime who doped out the pills for
' the business men had such good
form and easy delivery that it
was plain that his playing
“showed a great deal of prepar
ation” Of course Parson Craig
and Fred Hoyt did some work in
the box but we decline to even
mention them
Sid Burrow could not be in the
game so he made Deputy Court
Clerk Bill Partin take his place
Judge Partin played fairly good
town ball but couldn't get the
fight focus all the time Sam
Whittenberg who couldn’t re-
member where the left field was
located caught a fly which stung
his finger and Judge Wood ngil-
ed a line-drive although his
j knees knocked together likf a
-school bo jrwit hstrg-f rirt
Harry Butler madea surJonal
sliding catch but the crowd was
soft so he didn’t have to e£ne in
for repairs Marvin Whitten-
berg John Butler C H Jarae
son Cicero Wright and Dan
Patton each got around over the
field with about as much speed
as a Georgia nigger with a hook-
worm The sensational batting was
done by Bill Partin and Elmer
Dodd who tried to knock a home-
run every time and Johnnie
Hooton who batted like
washer-woman chopping wood
The rest of the players were too
insignificant to remember
Dan Delaney was selected by
the business men as one most
capable of protecting their rights
and wrongs against the “gang”
as umpire and was ably assisted
by Dan Wright who as Post-
master could not play with the
officers nor 'business men!
Just as the sun went down the
game ended with a score of 17
to 19 in favor of the court house

AWAITS CHIEFTAIN'S ORDER
Hot Springs Ark July 6—
“I am never going to fight until
the president of the United States
tells me that I ought to fight
and I pray to God that he will
never tell me that I ought to
fight I owe something to the
president which I will gladly pay
He’s my chieftain For myself
and I hope for you in these
trying times let the president of
the United States tell us when it
is time to get mad Be patient
and be forbearing and you will
understand that a son of Virginia
at the head of the nation will
never be false to tradition or
found of cowardly blood”
This expression from Vice-
president Marshall before a large
assembly Monday afternoon
brought forth rounds of applause
He had come to Hot Springs to
celebrate with the Moose lodge
and a large audience gathered
at the Osklawn pavilion to hear
his address
Mrs Marshall accompanied him
and they will probably remain
here ten days
Mr Marshall spoke on "The
Dual Citizenship” He took an
emphatic stand for a - citizenship
whieh woukl -interest f itself and
samrt Itself in a! affairs of life
Speaking of the hyphenated
citizen Mr Marshall took a
stand against that man who
holds up his hands and swears
he will support the constitution
when he knows that he owes an
allegiance he will be called on to
pay to another country Ke
said that after the war woe
be the time to re-enact la
which would be a safeguard
against such a citizenship

STATE CAPITAL NEWS
' The contract for the completion
of the - state capital has been
agreed upon and will be signed
as it can be drawn up by the
Attorney Genaral’s department
It calls for a completed - building
of Oklahoma gray granite up to
and including the first story' and
Bedford Indiana lime stone
shove ' Ther interior is to be
finished in Vermont marble
The building is to basufgiciently
finished by January 1st 1917 to
provide for the meeting of the
legislature in regular session
Stewart & Company of New
York and Salt Lake were
awarded the contract and the
price is $125350000 This
with the sums already expende
on the ateel and concrete work
by the commission will approxi
mate the amount of the tota
appropriation of $150000000
All of the money to complete the
contract is now in the treasury
and Oklahoma’s capital ia to be
built in record time iorthat kind
of a building '
Beginning this fiscal year the
Secretary of State’s office
eliminated six empbyes whose
total annual salaries aggregated
$4980 That mofiripfa saving

sstidaxion of tfaestegm&effiees
in the UereanC”e Buildhig on
west Uain Thetotetions vacat-
ed were two cnatodians two
janitors and a day and knight
watchman
The abcStion of the : State
Reporter’s office ‘ employing
three men and one third of the
force in : the office of the
Supreme Court Clerk are further
evidence of the “cruel economy’
that obtains under this ad
minatration In the case of the
Supreme Court Clerk’s' depart
ment the work has been largely
increased and the force cut down
too low probably to secure the
beat results The increase in
the number of court divisions
and the large amount of work
now being done by the higher
state courts is responsible for
thejincrease in work in the clerk’s
department and makes the cut-
ting down of his force at this
time a matter of serious interest
to the present - incumbent
When the court work reaches
normal stage the new provisions
will probably prove entirely
adequate but this will not be for
two or three years yet ' -

Thomas has out distanced the
sister towns of similar siza in
the race of progreesivsness It
possesses Jitneys A regulation
five passenger Ford patrols the
streets ready and willing for
the small sum of 10c to take
anyone anywhere in town
Trains are met by two Auto Bus
lines '
This is a step toward from the
old “Bus” a relic of the stage
coach idea It is better in every
waf— faster more efficient and
lastly— cheaper Bus fare was
25c— Auto Bus fare is 10c
Jitneys the great rival of the
so long sovereign street car
have invaded practically all the
larger cities' There they run
on stated routes but because' of
the size of Thomas it is possible
here for the car to take pass-
engers just where they want to
go— anywhere in town— an extra
convenience— Thomas Tribune:
One of our farmers went into

nice mash in a box of sawdust
instead of bran Thecowmcrely

supper and the man never dis-
covered his mistake until the
next morning when he milked
the cow and she let down a half
gallon of turpentine' a quart of
shoe pegs and a bundle of lath
