GENERAL DAMAGE.
Thousands of acres of bottom land crops along South Canadian river

Bottom land crops along Cimarron river destroyed in western half of
state. (■
Two lives known lost, three persons VlMJ.'tsIng, and almost certainly
drowned, twelve railroad bridges and three large wagon bridges over the
South Canadian, Cimarron and North Canadian rivers In Oklahoma and
‘ther bridges in the Texas Panhandle country with a railroad property loss
at more than half a million dollars, and damage which cannot be estimated to
crops destroyed In the bottom lands along approximately 400 miles of the
South Canadian and 300 miles of the Cimarron river courses in the state,
was the toll of the floods which swept down Oklahoma’s most treacherous
streams Sunday and Monday.
The loss of lives to date Includes the two daughters of Perry Bright
near Two Points, on the Cimarron river in the Oklahoma Panhandle, and
three men missing following the Rock Island bridge collapse at Bridgeport
Sunday afternoon when six men were precipitated Into the floods. They
are W. F. Werner, bridge superintendent of the Rock Island railroad with
headquarters at El Reno; W. F. Noland, Geary, bridge carpenter of the Rock
Island, and Leo Lininger, youth living at Geary, and bridge worker.
The men were standing on the bridge while a train of boxcars was being
run onto the bridge to weight it down. The race was won by the wall of
water which, striking the bridge, tore loose the supports and swept it away
throwing men and boxcars Into the seething flood.
One of the six men. E. F. Fiscus, was rescued, the others, II. J. McCoy,
Rock Island agent at Geary, and James Wyman, after a terrific twelve-hour
struggle, reached the shore far down the river.
Damage to Bridget.
The damage to four Rock Island
bridges wholly or partially carried
away will exceed $200,000, according
to unofficial reports and the damage
to the other railroads will exceed
$300,000.
Along the South Canadian river,
nine of eighteen bridges were partially
or totally wrecked and along the Cim-
arron, west of Guthrie, only two of six
remained
Hundreds of thousands of acres of
farm land was Inundated from two to
ten feet for a width of from one to
two miles along the entire course of
the South Canadian river and the Cim-
arron river In western Oklahoma.
The floods came from heavy rains
and snows melting In the mountains
in New Mexico and Colorado. The
South Canadian river has its source in
the Raton range of mountains in
northern New Mexico while the Cim-
arron and North Canadian headwaters
are In southeastern Colorado.
NELSON O’SHAUGHNEISY
CARRANZA BARS AN ARMISTICE
REBEL CHIEF CONTINUES HIS
MILITARY OPERATIONS
American To Be Man Not Connected
V/!th Government—Oe la Harra
Likely Huerta's Choice
Washington.—It has become defi-
nitely established that General Car-
ranza will not agree tn the request of
the mediators that he suspend oper-
ations against Huerta pending the
mediation proceedings and the envoys
have been advised of this decision.
Close associates of Carranza who have
arrived here say no mediation be-
tween the rebels and Huerta is pos-
sible.
Meanwhile the campaign against
Huerta forces in the north is proceed-
ing full force. The march on Mexico
City, according to those near Car-
ranza. is to be undertaken as soon
as military operations in the north
will permit.
Carranza’s refusal of an armistice
is the flrBt reply the mediators have
received. On the other hand favor-
able comment Is made in circles close
to the envoys on the amicability
Huerta has shown.
The United States, the Huerta gov-
ernment and General Carranza are
expected to name their delegate as
requested by the mediators within the
next day or two. The American del-
egate has not been selected, but it
became known that it would not be
an official closely identified with the
government. As the three South
American envoys are accredited to
the United States, this government
does not wish to name a government
official, but desires an outsider who
would deal with them without refer-
ence to their official relations to the
United States. To the names of John
Bassett Moore, John Lind and Henry
White, already mentioned, now are
added Richard Olney, former secre-
tary of state, and Hannis Taylor,
former minister to Spain.
The Huerta delegate is expected to
be Francisco De La Barra. Mexican
minister at Paris, but nothing definite
has been heard from Mexico City.
Rafael Zubran, personal representa-
tive of General Carranza, arrived here
and is available as the Carranza del-
egate, although it is not yet definite
that Carranza will name a delegate.

Oklahoma City.—The five-man board
of agriculture, known as the Cruce
board, which was appointed by the
governor in pursuance to the provis-
ions of the constitutional amendment
adopted at the special election on Au-
gust 5, 1913, is declared to be the only
legal, duly qualified and elected board
of agriculture by the state 'Supreme
court in an opinion handed down by
Justice R. H. Loofbourrow.
The attack on the Cruce board,
made by the board which claimed to
have been appointed in January, 1913,
was based solely on technical errors
in the submission of the amendment
reducing the size of the board from
eleven to five members and its adop-
tion by an overwhelming vote in the
special election.
In the submission of the amendment
by the legislature and in its adoption
by the people at the polls, every stat-
utory and constitutional requirement
was met, says the opinion, in knock-
ing out the contentions of the ousted
board.
Ends Muddle.
This decision is expected to com-
pletely clarify the muddled situation
Involving three boards of agriculture,
which had its Inception in January,
1913, when two boards went forth from
the Stillwater farmers’ institute, each
claiming to be duly elected and having
authority to act.
While these two boards were wrang-
ling between themselves and indulg-
ing in court proceedings Senator
Campbell Russell of Warner proposed
a resolution in the senate authorizing
the submission of an amendment that
would reduce the size of the board
from eleven to five members.
The amendment was submitted at
the August election and adopted. Rus-
sell contended the adoption of the
amendment had the effect of recalling
the board, claiming to have been ap-
pointed at the Stillwater convention,
and the governor took the same view
and immediately appointed the flve-
man board.
Amendment Opposed.
CYCLONE RAZES TEXAS VILLAGE
Two Pereons Killed. Many Injured In
Maud and Pittsburg
Mount Pleasant, Texas.—Two per-
sons were killed at Maud, Texas, near
here and half of the houses In the
little town destroyed. The cyclone
also did severe damage at Red Water
and at Pittsburg, Texas, injuring some
fourteen people in the three towns.
The number of Injured at Maud was
six or eight, at Red Water, eight, and
several were hurt near Pittsburg. It
was stated that the cyclone which first
was perceived about one mile south
of Maud swept through the country to
one mile north of Red Water.
The greatest damage apparently was
done at Red Water, which has a popu-
lation of between 100 and 200. Maud
Is a town of about the same size, while
Pittsburg numbers some 2,500 souls.
The Cotton Belt railroad station at
Red Water was completely destroyed.

GEN. DANIEL SICKLES IS DEAD
Was Last of the Union Commanders
at Battle of Gettysburg.
New York.—General Daniel Sickles
died at his home here fTT.nday in his
ninetieth year. General Daniel Edgar
Sickles was the last of the great com-
manders who fought at the battle of
Gettysburg.
Before he was 32 years old, Major
Sickles had served as secretary of
legation at London under Ministei
James Buchanan; he had won a state
senatorshlp through a bitter campaign
and he was seated in the thirty-fifth
congress at Washington.
It was at this time that an event
occurred which became the sensation
of the day. Sickles had begun his
second term as congressman in 1859.
Then he shot and killed Francis B.
Key, a lawyer, for intimacy with Mrs.
Sickles. After her death of a broken
heart, he became minister to Spain
and married a Spanish woman, from
whoiji he afterwards separated. His
last years were embittered by bank-
ruptcy and charges of financial irreg-
ularities.
Body of Another American Recovered.
Laredo. Texas.—The body of Porflro
Laurel, an American ranchman, who
disappeared last November, was re-
covered from a grave near Nuevo La-
redo, Mex. I.aurel had been arrested
by Mexican federals, who presisteutly
denied reports of his execution and
until the body was exhumed the mys-
tery of the Texan’s absence was un-
explained.
Recovery of the ranchman’s body
was made possible by the evacuation
of Nuevo Laredo by the federal!.
After making his appointment court
tkroceedings were instituted in the Ok-
lahoma county district court attack-
ing the validity of the submission of
the amendment, and the authority of
the governor to make the appoint-
inepts.
A decision ousting the Cruce board
was rendered by District Judge Clark,
and it was from this decision that
the case was appealed.
A meeting of the board is expected
to be held in Oklahoma City within
the next few days.
SENATOR CHARGES CONSPIRACY
La Follette Says Atempt Made to Co-
erce Commerce Commission.
Washington.—Senator La Follette
laid before the senate what he de-
clared was evidence of a widespread
conspiracy to intimidate, coerce and
control the interstate commerce com-
mission to grant eastern railroads the
6 per cent freight rate increase for
which application is pending.
The senator spoke on his bill to
make it a criminal offense to seek
to influence decisions of the commis-
sion. He talked for more than two
hours and produced a mass of news-
paper clippings, copies of letters and
telegrams.
He declured “the consptarcy” had
made use of newspaper articles, edi-
torials and advertising; that manufac-
turers and bankers had assailed the
commission with communications fav-
oring an increase and that the propa-
ganda had been In evidence for
months before the railroads made
their application.

Russell Files Another New Bill. Registration In First Class Cities.
The people will have an opportu-! A general registration will be held
nity to vote on a bill probably at the j in every city of the first class in Okla-
primary election in August, which has jlioma during the month of July, ac-
cording to announcement by Secre-
tary Ben W. Riley of the state election
board.
Re' tration books, which will be in
charge of precinct election inspectors,
will be opened on the first day of July
and remain open until 9 o’clock on the
last Saturday In the month.
The provisions of the “grandfather
clause ’ of the constitution will be
strictly enforced ^n^he reasstration,
according to Mr. Riley, who *as noti-
fied election officers that this consti-
tutional provision must be followed.
The law relating to registrations,
among other things, provides:
“It shall be the duty of the election
inspector of each precinct within
cities of the first class, beginning
with the first day of July preceedtng
each biennial primary election and
continuing (Sundays excepted) until
the hour of 9 o’clock p. m. on the last
Saturday night of said month of July,
to keep open the precinct registration
books in his care for the registration
of any electors residing within such
precinct and entitled to registration
thereunder.”
In case the election Inspector has
any doubt about the right of a per-
son, offering to register, to vote the
inspector Is given the authority to
, , . . .have such person make a sworn affl-
equalization, under rules of regula-1 declaring thelr eligibility to ex-
tions provided in the bill.

Russell, Friday filed petitions con-
taining 21,186 signers asking for a
vote on his general revenue bill
which is known as state question No.
68, initfative petition No. 41.
As only about 19,000 signatures
were necessary to secure submission
of the question an election will be
held on the proposition in case no
protests are filed and successfully
supported. Russell secured many of
the names while making his race for
congress in the second district hence
has been able to kill two birds with
one stone. Under the new law he will
receive 5 cents for each name attached
to his petitions in case the provision
becomes a law; also a certain allow-
ance for postage and other expenses
which it is estimated will total about
$500.00.

Jimmie’s Bright Idea Worked for a
Time, but Finally Ended in
Disaster.
"What do you mane by writing me
that my Jimmie can’t pass into the
next grade?” stormed an irate female,
bursting into the principal’s room.
“An’ after him doin’ such grand work
all the year.”
“Why, Mrs. F3aherty,” replied the
teacher, “you must know better than
that. I’ve sent you his report cards
every month and you know that his
marks have been nearly all ‘D’s.’ ”
“Indade they hov, and yit you say
he can’t pass. I don’t understand it,
mum.”
"I am afraid you don’t understand
our system of marking. D means de-
ficient, you know.’*
“Sure I don’t know phat that may
be, mum, but Jimmie told me all about
the letters. Sure ‘D’ is dandy, ‘C’ Is
corking, ‘B’ is bum, an’ ’A' is awful—
an’ he’s got ‘C’s’ an’ ‘D’s’ ivery month.”

Family of Twelve Drink Postum.
“It certainly has been a blessing In
our home” writes a young lady in re-
gard to Postum.
“1 am one of a family of twelve,
who, before using Postum, would make
a healthy person uncomfortable by
their complaining of headache, dizzi-
ness, sour stomach, etc., from drinking
coffee.
“For years mother suffered from
palpitation of the heart, sick head-
ache and bad stomach and at times
would be taken violently ill. About a
year ago she quit coffee and began
Postum.
“My brother was troubled with
headache and dizziness all the time
he drank cofTee. AH those troubles of
my mother and brother have disap-
peared since Postum has taken the
place of coffee.
"A sister was ill nearly all her life
with headache and heart trouble, and
about all she cared for was cofTee and
tea. The doctors told her she must
leave them alone, as medicine did her
no permanent good.
“She thought nothing would take
the place of coffee until we induced
her to try Postum. Now her troubles
are all gone and she Is a happy little
