MERITED RECOGNITION.
A Hero of El Caney Appoint
ed First Lieutenant.
Captain R. C. Day received
message yesterday informing him
of hie appointment as first lieuten
ant 34th volunteers and to wire
his acceptance at once which he
did without delay. The place of
rendezvous of Lieutenant Day's
command is not yet designated
The message was signed by Adju
tant General Carter at Washing-
ton.
This is just recognition of merit
and Vinita will without a dissent
ing voice offer its congratulations
It is far more than possible that
the recent visit of Governor Roose
velt by invitation to the presi
dent bad something to do with
the appointment being made just
at this time. Barring accident or
the vicissitudes of war there
should be many of us live to see

ERNIE BLOSS HEARD OF.
An Acquaintance of the Bicy
cle Heroine Here.
DIED IN A FEW HOURS.
Peculiar Circumstances Surrounding
a Child's Death.
The circumstances of the death
of the three or four-year-old son
of J. S. Rice and wife on the A.
F. Chamberlin place' Tuesday
were peculiar.
The child was in perfect nealth
at noon and lay down and went to
sleep. It began to froth at the
mouth and give evidence of a
spasm when it was taken up and
. LDr. Hill sent for. He got up to
the place along in the evening
but could do nothing lor the child
and it died about 9 o'clock that
night evidently ot congestion.
The parents desire to thank the
neighbors for assistance rendered
then) in their hour of trouble.
John McGinnis of Ft. Worth
was in our city today and met an
acquaintance or two. lo a re
porter he told something of Miss
Ernie Bloss the bicycle girl.
Much of her story as given by the
press he said was imaginary.
She was induced to go to New
York not for a thousand dollar
prize noryet to meeta sweetheart
of which she is said not to be the
possessor but purely for notorie-
ty's sake. Her wheel she had se-
cured by pawning ber watch and
by cooking at a section house.
This will be startling intelli-
gence at the fm-de-sicle town of
Muskogee where the great ban-
quet was spread by the aristocrat-
ic and exclusive We'uns club. At
last reports Ernie had reached
New York according to the pa-
pers and had created nearly as
great a sensation as at Muskogee.
WEEDS SHOULD BE CUT.
PYROTECHNIC DISPLAY.
The Children Entertained for an Hour
or 50 Last Evening.
Unfavorable weather and sick
ness prevented the display of the
fireworks provided by her parents
lor Helen Churchill until last
night. To make the occasion as
pleasant as possible for the child
quite a number of her little friends
were invited to a seat on the ver
anda to witness tbem. The . as-
sortment of fireworks was quite
extensive and very good and sup-
plemented by a bowl of lemonade
resulted in an hour or so
In-ing f j't-t:t very pleasantly for

THE EUCHRE CLUB.

ganized with a view of breaking

afternoons bad a pleasant session

of the playing.
A Menace to Health That is
Easy to Dispose of.
Most every day someone makes
complaint to the newspaper peo-
ple because the weeds are not cut
on property adjoining their prem
ises some vacant and others that
are occupied. The newspaper
folks are not deputy policemen
and complaints should be made to
Mr. Ledbetter direct though he is
pretty busy and his scythe is not
overly sharp. But seriously
health is endangered by this-rank
growth of weeds and the cutting
of .them would cost little. If the
city council has authority it would
be a good time for the exercise of
it. The council has ''certainly the
means at hand for ' cleaning the
streets for tbey are city; propeity
An old mower would work won
ders in a short time in the weed
patches in spite qf the baling
wires which are everywhere.
