BIG LOAN.
W. H. Dickey, one of our popular

the other day and closed out a big
loan on a Jackson county farm .
The hustling qualities shown in this

since a severe hall storm swept the
country from Reed to Russell destroy-
ing all crops that were up. The
farmers had planted over and tho
seed had como up to a good stand,
growing off most promising when, on
laat Monday nlg>ht the Russell country
was vlslled with another destructive
hail. The noise made by the cloud
was distinctly heard In this city and
It is safe to say two-thirds of our
population sought refuge In dugouts.
it seems from the beet lnforilatlou
to bo had, that the hail covered a
a strip of country from one to three
miles wide and exrtended from Russell
to Duke, destroying all growing crops.
Some cf the farmers were especially
unfortunate since they had already
planted several times.
The rains have beeh very general
and are of almcst daily occurrence.
The i-treams have been higher than
in years, and the wonder is that more
bridges have not been destroyed.
Y^t with all our wind and rain we
are fortunate compared to parts of
Texas and other states. No Texas
papers have been coming with any
regularity for three weeks. Many
l>eople there have been drowned by ov-
erflowing rivers and millions of dol-
lars worth of irroperty has been de-
stroyed. In Kansas and Missouri,
the rivers are higher than they have
been since 1892, and It is feared the
Mississippi river will break its levees
and cause irreparable loss.
The Rock Island train from this
place to Chickasha went only as far
as Carnegie Tuesday, where it was
stopped by high water. At Fort
Cobb the water was six feet above the
track. It is not known Just when
regjular service can be re-instated.
NEW COTTON FIRM
TO LOCATE HERE
The firm of J. N. Oaddell & Co..
comiposed of J. N. Caddell, the well
known cotton buyer of Mangum and
W. H. Roark, of Chickasha, has se-
cured office room over the Dixie store
This company will be an important
factor in the handling of the cotton
business of Southwest Oklahoma.
They will have direct connection with
the mills at Liverpool and Bremen
and will ship cotton direct from Man-
gum to those points. They will
thus eliminate the (middle men and
it is thought it will result in a much
more economical handling of the cot-
ton from *' 'a point.
BRIGG3 HERE.
Hon. O. W. Briggs. Greer's popu-
lar representative In the lower house
of representatives was a Mangum vis-

Mr. Briggs has decided to make
the race for re-election. He wras an
active member of the recent legisla-
ture. took part in the arrangement of
many important measures and had
the distinction of bring on morec ma
mlttees than any other member.

ed ProleMor Duff of Neo*ht . Mlsaou-
ri, to All tho piafo of City uperfn-
tend lit uf school* next year. Tbara
wore threo applicants before tha
boaul: Prof. Austin, of Texas; Prof.
McCbeaoey of Arkansas, and Prof.
Duff. Each of the upplicant* present-
ed . leiidld clalu.s and no tkmbt eith-
er of them would have mado an effi-
cient officer. So it was somewhat
difficult for tbo board to make A
choice.
it was finally decided to offer the
place to Prof. Duff at a salary ot
sixteen hundred dollars annually, pro-
vided he would accept it.
Prof. Duff is a native of Missouri.
He was born and raised In Lincoln
county, and completed the course of
study provided by the high schools of
that county. He afterwards attend-
ed the state university. He was su-
perintendent of the echooleof Pleasant
Hill. Missouri, two years, of the
schools of Osceola sev^n years aad
has been at Neosho for tho same
length of tlmo.
His family consists of a wife and
two children, a son and a daughter.
His daughter taught Latin In the Mgh
school at Neosho last year.
Prof. Duff is a member of the old
school Presbyterian church, and le
an active and intelligent school man.
Ho is held in very high regard by
the state Superintendent of Missouri.
No denbt his work here will make our
city schools even more popular than
they are at the present time.
Nearly all the positions in the school
here have now been filled, and if
Prof. Duff accepts, no doubt pre-
parations for the next term will be-
gin at once.

ROCK ISLAND WRECK.
Passenger train out of Mangum
vesterday evening was w-recked about
three miles east of Granite. The en-
gine and tender were running! back-
wards, since there was no means of
,t urn ins at Gotebo. The engineer re-
ports that the speed of the train was
about 18 miles an hour and was be-
ginning to slow down for North Fork
bridge, when the bender jumped the
track. The engine follewed, tearing
up the track for a short distance and
piling up over the tender, and over-
turning. An empfty coach was hitch-
ed next to the engine. This was de-
railed.
The passengers were unhurt except
for being badly ahaiken up. The fire-
man had an arm broken and some
minor injuries. The engineer es-
caped in a miraculous way, since he
crawled from under the wreck whlie
it was covered with esoaping steam.
Does Mangum want them?
The Ft. Smith & Western is certain
to build out of El Reno when the
financial situation becomes settled,
and the same can be
said of the Wichita
Falls and N.„rth Western from Fred-
erick. A branch line from the Orient
could be had probably by asking for
it. Other roads are putting out feel-
ers. It is therefore imlportant for us
to decide what stand we will take -in
the matter in order to meet the pro-
moters of these different propositions
in a business way.

HUNT ABANDONED.
The active hunt for the negro that
killed Sheriff Garrison has been aban-

of high water. All outlets are guard-

had been brought from Wichita, Kan-

Mr. Wr. J. Worthington haa been

The Church in the Sunday School. - • —
Was the theme of Dr. Lamar at i®stwork
the Methodist church Sunday morn-
ing. The doctor said in part, that
the church invested 10 per cent of its
assets in the Sunday school and got
9^ per cent in profit; and 90 per cent
ir. other church work and got only
4.0 per cent profit. And this leads as
to enquire: "What is the matter with
the church? What is the church do-
ing that so much should be .invested
and so little results obtained "
Mr. Wesley in his management of
church affairs would not have If that
way. His rule "All at it, and always
at It."
Mrs. Dr. Norton is visiting friend*
in Bowie, Texas.
PRES. MGLAUCHLIN
AT EDMOND, OKU.
President-elect J. A. McLauchlin
spent a few days the latter part of
last week In. Edmond, familiarizing
himself with the work at the Normal
and becoming acquainted with Ed-
mond people. President McLauchlin
has created a splendid Impression
here and the prediction is freely made
that he will be one of the most suc-
cessful presidents in the history .of
the Normal. He is an educator of
well known ability, an affable and
pUasing gentleman to meet and pos-
sesses the executive ability necessary
to successfully carry on such an in-
stitution a.o the Central State Normal
school. Hie expects to move to Ed-
mond the fore part of July.—Edmond
