MOISTURE COMES
RAINFALL GENERAL OVER ALL
OF OKLAHOMA
CROPS GREATLY BENEFITTED
EAST SIDE GETS HEAVY END OF
DOWNPOUR
Sunday and Monday Rainfall Has Put
Crops In Good Condition In
Many Places Where Drouth -
Had Come
Oklahoma City.—The old truism
that "It never rains but It pours" has
oeen pleasantly called to the minds of
nearly everyone in Oklahoma within
the twenty-four hours ending Tuesday
mbrning, for it has been raining for
a night and a day.
Early Sunday night water-logged
clouds formed in the north and north-
east and for a time fears were enter-
tained that a windstorm was brew-
ing, but these fears were later dissi-
pated and the myriads of gentle drops
af rain came down In a deluge and
moistened the parched earth, making
every living thing happy. Every stalk
of cotton and corn and every head of
cats took on renewed energy. Already
enough rain has falSjn, considering
the moisture placed in the ground
during the winter snows and rains,
to insure bumper crops of everything
tn Oklahoma this year.
8TORM AT CLAREMORE
Two Men Are Killed and Storm Does
Considerable Damage
Claremore, Okla.Two men were
killed and buildings and trees de-
stroyed by a severe rain, wind and
electrical storm which was general
over the county. Barney Green of
Tiawah was killed by his barn blowing
down on him, Just as he was riding
into it and Robert Lemon of Verdi-
gras was struck by lightning, dying
instantly. It is reported that Collins-
ville had many buildings blown down.
Stores were flooded and trees and
out buildings destroyed all over
Claremore. Nobody was injured here,
but it is feared that more fatalities
may have resulted over the county.
Great damage was done to the fields
of growing oats, wehat and corn by
the storm.
FRISCO IS DENIED BOND
Beckham Gets Big Rain
Sayre, Okla.—Beckham county was
loaked by a heavy downpour of rain,
which was just what the growing
srops needed. The fall measured fully
Dne and one-half inches at Sayre and
may have been much heavier at other
places. Crops in this section are in
excellent condition and the rain last
aight makes the probability of full
;rops much better. The outlook here
las never been better than it is now.
Company Will Be Unable to Take
Case to Supreme Court
Oklahoma City.—The corporation
commission Monday denied the appli-
cation of tht Frisco for a supersedeas
bond in the case of Philip McCarthy
and others of Perry to compel the
road to construct an overhead cross-
ing at a certain point near Perry. The
commission's statement says that the
supreme court has held that it has
not jurisdiction to entertain appeals
from tht commission as to the kind
and character of the crossing to be
maintained by the railroad company
at public crossings.
| THEIR MOST JOYOUS MOMENT
> Of the Trio, Probably Representative
Redfleld Had the Best Occa-
sion to 8mlle.
The talk in one of the cloak rooms
of congress turned to the thought of
the happiest moments in one's life.
Senator Bailey said his came the day
he wore his first pair of trousers. And
Paul Howland of Ohio declared his
big moment of joy was when he was
permitted once to drive a chariot in
a pony and dog show parade.
Representative Redfleld, who is a
wise chap, even if he does hail from
Brooklyn, said it was when he was
going to school and trying to master
long division. Three or four aisles
over from where he sat a boy yawned.
It was not an ordinary yawn, but one
of such genuine expression of feeling
toward things in general that it at-
tracted Redfleld's attention. He was
fortunate in having a paper wad right
at hand, ready for any emergency,
and he aimed this at the boy's caver-
nous mouth. The wad went right
square into the goal and—well, Fourth
of July fireworks are tame to the
stunts that boy did in the next few
minutes.
He says he almost smiled once on
ship board when the vessel gave a
lurch and threw a platter full of
beefsteak, gravy and all, over the
open-faced shirt front of a pompous
passenger across the table.
.. Kaylor Wiped Off the Map
Guthrie, Okla.—More than three
score houses were smashed and two
persons out of a population of three

Mcalester oil field
to be developed
Noted Foreign Geologist Declares
Prospects Are Rich, and Drill-
ing Soon To Start
McAlester, Okla.—What is said by
Dr. Arnold Heim, who is now in the
McAlester field, to be one of the rich-
est oil fields in the southwest, is soon
to be opened up, the developers be-
ing E. J. Brennan of Tulsa and Joe
Burke of McAlester. Thirty-five
thousand acres of land, lying to the
southwest of McAlester and just five
miles to the southeast of Stuart, have
been leased, and test holes will be
drilleed and the territory thoroughly
prospected. The rig builders are al-
ready on. the ground, and drilling
will begin right away.
The activity on the part of theoil
men is due to tht statement made by
Mr. Helm, who was sent to the Mc-
Alester field by a syndicate from Hol-
land and a banking company at Paris,
France. Dr. Helm, it is said," discov-
ered all the oil that has been produc-
ed in Roumanla. He has invested $5,-
000,000 for the Dutch company in Ok-
lahoma, and all of the investments
have proven to be profitable.
After going over the leases of Bren-
non and Burke, Dr. Heim sent a cable-
gram to Paris and The Hague, ad-
vising the syndicates there to invest
freely in the McAlester oil field. A
number of representatives of the nu-
merous oil companies and oil pros-
pectors have arrived in McAlester the
past few days, and it is expected that
the new oil field will be developed in
the near future.

night in the harvest field)
ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY
"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, hia little
face was disfigured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
Itched.
"We consulted two doctors at Chi-
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at onco bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Reme-
dies to everybody." (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecht, Box 883, West Point, Neb.,
Oct. 26, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample of
each, with 32-page book, will be mailed
free on application to "Cuticura,"

"Oh, we have had such a delightful
time at your party. We w&nt you to
come and take dinner with us Just as
Boon as you can."
"Honestly, I think you have got Just
the cutest baby 1 have ever seen."
"Gee, I can sing a lot better when
I haven't got a cold."
"My husband is just as sweet as he
can be around the house. He never
gets cross and never scolds when din-
ner isn't ready, and is so neat that a
piece of lint on the carpet almost
drives him crazy."
"We expect to spend next summer
abroad."

Fish With False Teeth.
Cap Wilson, the inventor of as many
different kinds of spoons as there are
fish that will take them, has discov-
ered a new lure for catfish. He was
on an outing among the sloughs of the
Sacramento river, when one of his
companions found him on the deck of
his launch, roaring loudly.
"What's the matter?" he inquired.
'Matter? Huh! There's a $20 cat-
fish down under this boat, an' I'm
a-goin' to get him if I have to seine
him out."
"How do you figure a catfish worth
twenty dollars?"
"This way: I was standln' right here
a-cleanin' my new set of false teeth,
when he come up to the top, looked at
me an' opened his mouth. I grabbed
for the boathook to gaff him an'
dropped the teeth. Plump they went,
right square into his mouth. Now
he's down there crackin' crabs with
my teeth, an' I got to eat clam show-
der outen a salmon spoon."—Saturday

course of a week, when the recruit re-
ceived his first envelope, he found
that he was a day short. He went to
Chapin and complained, only to get
this:

you, I'll fire you a day earlier and that
will make it come out even."
Going Further Back.
A man who had suddenly become
very rich went to live in New York
and began to spend money with a lav-
ish hand. He decided that his name
needed advertising, so ^e visited a
genealogist.
"I suppose," he said, "if I pay you
enough you can trace my family back
to Adam."
"My dear, sir," replied the genealo-
gist, "if you're willing to put up the
money we can prove by evolution that
your family existed before Adam."—

advantage of his female employes, I
don't wonder that woman is beginning
to sneer at man's chivalry.

erwoman. very industrious and suo-
cessful, to whom a young man offered
hijnself in matrimony.

plied.

rible escapade he had had the night
before after he had crossed the dam
at the river and was making for his
cabin about a half mile through the
dark woods.

brush I hears a funny noise like a
shoat snortin'. I looks up an' a blue
light jump§ out er de groun' and
shapes itself into a ghost about six
foot tall. Red fire was a-flickerin' out
er its nose. It stood still kinder, then
lifted a long, bony finger an' says:
'I want you, Rufe Jackson.'
"I walks up to it and shakes my
own finger right in Its face. 'You
mind yore business and I'll mind
mine,' I says, and turns on my heel
and goes right on.

a case like dat?"
