the harbor and asked the captain if he
could find him work on the ship.

There VIII Be I,7oo DeIegstes TO the
Ardmore Convention.

A Muscogee special to the Dallas
News says:
The Territorial Democratic con-
vention, which copvenes at Ard
more next Monday, will be the lar
gest in point of delegates which has
ever been held in the Indian Terri
tory. There will be between l, 100
and 1 200 votes in the convention.
and the prospects are that a diff
ferent system will be adopted. as
it is generally agreed among the
Territory clubs that such a rep
resentation is unwieldy and hard
to handle. and that there is a much
better way of providing for the
nominations which come before
the conventions. The fact that the
Indian Territory will have more
delegates to the Ardmore conven-
too than the State of Missouri had
to its gube-natorial convention is
one of the grotesque features OF
Territory politics.
Little is heard of the contests foI
the different positions in the gift OF
the convention excepting that OF

growing exceedingly interesting,

A Frisco Trsn has an Experience
With q Twister.


The Wichita Beacon says: The
Frisco tram from the east, which ar
rives here Iat O'Clock in the morn
ing, was thrown from the track at
Oswego mt ] 30 O'Clock this morning
by a cyclone. Every car was de-
rallied but no one was injured, with
the exception of two tramps who
were stealing q ride, and their in
juries were slight.
The train had just left Oswego and
was running at the rate of about
thirty miles an hour when it was
struck by the cyclone. The engine
was not derailed, the coupling pin
being broken between 1t and the
cars. The baggage and express cars
were turned completely over and
thrown at angles with the track. The
smoking car was lifted from its
trucks and pitched clear across the
right-of-way into a wheat field. The
chair car and Pullman did not stay
on the track but were not over
turned.

THE DEATH OF THE WORLD
Scientists Fail to Agree as to How
the End MiILCome.

the End WiILCOme.
Scientists seem to agree that the
earth some day is to be destroyed by n
gigantic cataclysm, but fail to agree
upon the "how." DR.. Henry Smith
Williams. in writing in Harper's
Monthly on Some Unsolved Scientific
Problems" says:
"If so much uncertainty attends
these fundamental questions as to the
earth's past and present, it is not
strange that open problems as to her
future are still more numerous. We
have seen how, according to Professor
Darwin's computations, the moon
threatens 10 come back to earth with
destructive force some day. Yet Pro
fessOr Darwin himself urges that there
are elments of faIlibility in the data
involved that rob the computation Of
all certainty.
Much the same thing is true of per-
haps all the estimates that have been
made as to the earth's ultimate fate.
Thus it has been suggested that, even
should the suns heat not forsake us,
our day will become month long and
then year long; that all the water Of
the globe must ultimately filter into its
depths and all the air fly of into
space. leaving our earth as dry and as
devoid. of atmosphere as the moon, and,
finally, that ether friction, if it exists,
or, in default of that, meteoric friction,
must ultimately bring the earth back
to the sun.
But in all these representations
there are possible compensating factors
that vitiate the estimates and leave
the exact results in doubt. The last
word of the cosmic science of our GEN.
tury is prophecy of evil-if annihila-
tion be an evil. But it is left for the
science of another generation TO point
out more clearly the exact terms in
which the prophecy is most likely to
he fulfilled"

PERFECT CYCLONE OF FLAME.
Hundred and Twenty-Five Buildings
Burn In an Hour.

Duluth, Mimi, June 9.-The
entire business and most of the
residence section of the town OF
Virginia, on the Masaba iron range
was wiped out of existence yester
day in sixty minutes. One hun
dred and twenty-five buildings
were reduced to ashes in verit-
able cyclone of fire. The entire
country around is parched and
ready to burn. The flames broke
out at the Moon & Kerr mill. The
business section is about FIVE
blocks from the mill and over this
intervening territory the flames
spread fercely, carried directly to
the business buildings by fierce
wind.
The path of the flames was clean
cut as that of a cyclone. O. D.
Kenney's bank situated in two
story frame building, was in ruins
in ten minutes after the flames
struck it.
The territory over which the fire
travelled covered about twelve
blocks, about nine of which were
thickly built up. Tonight there is
not a business house. hotel or store
standing in Virginia. The resi-
dence portion of the town was
partially burned. The school
house is untouched, as also are
most of the churches. The loss is
$500, 900; insurance, 1926, 600.
The people are in urgent need OF
relief.
