quit work. 1t is feared at this writing that the
bridge and trestle- work north of the city wiz
be damaged. although much is being done to
prevent it. Such flood it is said, has not been
known for many years Should the water con-
tirue to rise il will ere long endanger the city,
as it is now within only few feet Of being as
high as it was in the memorable Spring of 1917.
Farmers in tho city to-day bring distressing
news reg arding their crops. Their story is that
on thousands of acres of bottom land in this re-
giOn nothing can be saved. The loss will reach
several millions of dollars. and hundreds OF
families will be left destitute, Wheat by the
stack and in the shock have fiOated past i'm i'm
mense quantities, and a great deal of hay has
also gone down. There is but little driftwood

bridges. .

y CALF GETS \ FREE RIDE.-On Thurs
day evening last while Locomotive No. 50,
which takes the mail train west, was making
its return trip, it came in contact with two
heifers that were browsing on the track q
short distance this side of Petersburg. The
engineer whistled, but the brutes We're heed
less of the threatened danger, and the pom
dcrOuS engine came down upon them and
knocked one of them down the emhaukment.
1t was not known what become of the other
until the engine reached this station, when
his calfShip was observed comfortably lying
upon the front part of the locomotive, above
the cow-catcher. The engine was stopped,
AMI when 'he calf was taken off, it walked
away, and was none the worse of its encoun-
ter, save few scratches. How it escaped
death is n miracle, but it showed more sa-
gacty than many two-legged calves who
persist in jumping from the ears when in
motion. The animal belonged to Mr.. Ken
nedy Mvton, TO whom it was returned the
next day by the railroad company, thus get
ting free ride of over fourteen miles, ANA n

From Friends Intelligencer,
Indian Council.

At the Sixth Annual Session of
the General Council of the Indian
Territory, held at Okmulgee in
Fifth month last, there were thirty
different Indian tribes represented.
, including the Modocs.
The short speeches of the dele
gates, as given in the journal of
this Council, are full of interesting
information and good judgment.
No more striking instance Of
what is being accomplished for and
by the red man can be given than
the speech of the famous Indian
known by the name of Bogus
Charley, who only two years ago
was defying the armies of the
United States in the Lava Beds of
the Modocs-He said:
..Mr. President and Brothers of the Coun
ell:
s.The Government brought us
here about two years age. They
told me there was no game to hunt
and we had to work. 1 intended
to do as we were told We have
worked with good heart; send
thirty eight children to school We
have built twelve hewed log houses,
made ten thousand rails, and plowed
and planted this spring about seven
acres Planted corn, potatoes and
other vegetables. We are advised
by our Agent, III. W. Jones, in
every respect, and we do as he tells
us. We believe him to be a good
man; always find him in that way.
The Shawaees. Wyandotts. Otta-
was, Peorias. Quapaws, Senecas,
are all like brothers toward us. We
feel at home. We send our chill
dren to the Quapaw Mission school
constantly, and they are learning
fast, and we are glad to see our
children learning, and we, the old
people, have concluded to work in
| the way of farming, and we intend
to be good to our neighbors and
the people generally
As Enoch Hoag, superintendent
of Indian affairs for the central su
perintendency, was returning to
i this place, to- day, Sept. 5th, from
the grand council at Okmulgee, the
team he was driving ran off, throw
ing hnm from the vehicle, and dis

The third day of September was a
very pleasant one in Major Martins
family That was the Goth birthday
of Mrs. Martin, and it was the inten-
ton of her children and grand chill
dren to give her a pleasant surprise.
While the grandfather was busily
employed at his farm work. the grand
mother was quietly and attentively
kept employed with the help of her
son William, at some of her domestic
work; one daughter, five daughters
in-law, and sixteen grand children,
were forming in line of march at a
point near by. In short time they
were all seated in one of the large
rooms, when William told his mother
that some friends wished to see her in
the room. The door opened and she
passed in. The surprise was COM
plete, and highly enjoyed by all the
little party. Before the surprised
mother could collect her thoughts on
what she could prepare for dinner for
so many, the large and we'll filled
baskets came to her relief, tables
we're soon prepared. baskets emptied,
and dinner announced, and the sur
prise was changed to an hour of en-
joyment.
Among the visitors was Mrs. Per-
melia Ham, an aged mother, who en-
joyed the hour with as much pleasure
as any of the little party.

Miracles Z

We have fallen upon miraculous
times I! 5 The grass and weeds have
disappeared mysteriously from around
st. RIary's Catholic school house
making it look fifty per cent. better;
and the huge stones on Franklin street
were gathered up and hauled off on
Thursday last. Tho latter appears
more like a miracle than The former,
because the cala-boozy-on zones, en-
ployed in picking up the stones and
putting them in wagons, turned them
by that process into food-paid for
grub. Stones were changed thusly
into bread

A Youthful clergyman who re
Gently went forth to enighten the
ignorant, while dealing with the
parable of the prodigal son, was
anxious to show how dearly the
parent loved his child. Drawing
himself together and putting on
his most sober look, he dilated at
length on the killing of the fatted
calf. The climax was as follows:
II shouldn't wonder If the father
had kept that calf for years waiting
the return of his SON."
