To 8ee Children Perform. — The.

its commencement exercises. The
hall was crowded with anxious Indian
man&QUts and papas who were on han,d
to see the rising generation perform,
the entertainmeni Yfas & very credit-
able showing for the work of t&e
school, The best work done was
alohg the lines of vocal music and
drills of various kinds. Memory tests,
such as recitations, seemed to be much
harder for the children.
Alva Will Observe Fourth.—A num-
ber of Alva’s citizens met In the city
hall to talk over and arrange for cele-
brating at Alva, and It seems that all
are In favor of having some new few*
tures on the program that are not of
the old time slow mule race order,
but something to please all who come.
From the talks of those present there
will be almost twice the amount of
money spent this year for attractions
to entertain the large crowd, as has
ever been used in a celebration In
Woods county, and the program will
be one that will draw people from all
parts of the territory. ■
Raid Gambling Houses.—At Okla-
homa City in a raid on the gambling
houses made by Sheriff W. G. Gar-
rison and several deputies five resorts
were closed- and $5,000 worth of para-
phernalia secured. This follows close-
ly upon Mayor Messenbaugh’s move-
ment soon after his inauguration this
spring In “putting on the lid” by clos-
ing all saloons on Sundays. In the
past year courts and grand juries
have made exhaustive efforts to lo-
cate and close these resorts and nu-
merous Indictments were made appar-
ently without avail. The raid was
therefore a complete surprise to every
one except the raiders.
Pledged to Mission Work.—At Mus-
kogee the closing session of the wo-
man’s board of foreign missions
the conference secretaries of the or-
ganization pledged to give to the mis-
sion work $40,000 more than their
regular yearly dues next year. Six
new missionaries were consecrated
for foreign work and will leave in
July for their new fields of labor. The
next meeting of the board will be
held next May at Opelika. Ala. This
place is about forty miles from Bir-
mingham and was chosen principally
because the general conference will
meet at the same time at Birming-
ham.
Took to tho Hills.—The Comanche
and Kiowa Indian tribes, having nev-
er before witnessed such disastrous
hail and wind storms as those that
have visited the southwestern coun-
try recently, are badly scared. Thous-
ands have deserted their allotments
and are camping on the highest points
of the country, and as the water re-
cedes many refuse to return. Chief
Quanah Parker, of the Comanches, is
making strong appeals for h'.a people
to return to their homes.
Court Instead of Warship.—In the
case of Logan Billingsly, charged with
the murder of A. C. Wheatley, the
jury returned a verdict of manslaught-
er in the second degree at Anadarko.
District court is held in the Metho-
dist church and instead of holding ser
vice there today Judge Gillette occu-
pied the building ro receive the jury's
verdict.
Are Undecided.—Cleveland will pro.
vide breakfast for the nation's erii
tors, but Is undecided yet whether
to have quail on toast or diamond bac>
I terrapin for the first course.
