Ex-confederates Want Wording Of the
Song Unchanged.

AT a recent Confederate reunion at
Columbia, Missouri. tumultuous scenes
resulted from motion to change the
words of Dixie" John c. Stone OF
Kansas City introduced resolution set
ting forth that the words of the song
as they now stand are childish and un'
becoming. especially when compared
with some other great patriotic songs.
Mr.. Stone suggested that the Missouri
Daughters OF the Confederacy take the
matter in hand and rewrite the song
in more appropriate words.
Shouts of disapproval greeted the
motion. Scores Of veterans were on
their feet in moment, protesting
against any change. Then some one
started the rebel yell, and the whole
crowd was at it for several minutes.
The yell did more than much argu-
ment might have accomplished, for,
when quiet was restored and the res
olution was put to a vote. every man
present except one voted against it.
Just as the decision was announced
the band struck mp Dixie" and the
rebel yell was raised once more. Sew
eral hundred university students joined
in the tumult and 1t was fifteen min
utes before order was restored and
the reunion again settled down to busi-

cial from Victor last night says:
William Dcdsworth. president of
Miners Union No. 32 of Victor, who re-
sides in Goldfeld, was arrested to-day
at his home and was taken to Camp
Goldfeld and placed in the guard tent.
He was charged with having assaulted
Jim Doyle. a driver for the Colorado
Trading and Transfer Company at In
dependence, the assault taking place
some ten days ago.
This afternoon men were searching
the district for Doyle. in order to have
him swear to the information that was
to be filed against Dodsworth. but the
officers were unable to locate him and
it is believed he has left the camp. This
afternoon General Reardon. postmaster
at Victor, and George S. Simonton,
wholesale grocer Of the same city, went
to Camp Goldfeld and vouched for
Dodsworth's good character and urged
the military authorities to release him
Shortly after they departed from camp

quarters. He asserted his innocence OF
any crime and assured the officers that
he would not attempt any form of law
breaking and promised further that he
would also give information of any
person who tried in any way to dis
parage or abuse the National Guard OF
Colorado. He was then set at liberty.

tie fresh news this morning from the

received here that both Turkey and
Bulgaria are actively preparing for the
possibility OF war. The correspondent

against either Servia or Bulgaria.

MONTANA BANDITS
THREATEN TRAINS

Helena, Mont. Sept. 21.-Because
the Northern Pacific Hallway Company
refused to comply with the demands OF
a gang of dynamiters to deposit large
sum of money at a point between Car
rison and Missoula no less than four
attempts have been made within the past
two weeks to carry out the threat to
blow the property of the company in
Montana off the map" as expressed in
the ultimatum.
AS yet no serious damage has result
ed, although the cow-catcher and head
light were blown off passenger en-
gine in the Helena yards and the tracks
have been torn up to greater or less
extent.
The Pat Grove plan of securing
money was delivered to the company
officials about three weeks ago. but the
fatcs have just become public.
The notice, which was sent to Gen
eral Passenger Agent Fee and General
Manager Hannaford. at first demanded
$25, 900 and then $4,000 be given to the
engineer of light engine, to be deliv-
cred by him at designated point west
of Garrison on a certain date and at a
given signal from the bandits.
Instead the railway officials essayed
to capture the robbers by ruse which,
however, failed ignominiously. The
light engine was sent out as directed.
and the supposed package of $4,000
was in plain view.
Approaching the spot appointed, the
engine slowed down, but before it came
20 a full stop second light engine, on
which there were a dozen or more
heavily-armed men, hove in sight. A
search was made Of the immediate vi
cinity, but none of the conspirators
were to be found.
The railway officials have since been
warned that because of their "trifing
the original threat would now be car
ried out.

GREAT UNDERGROUND LAKE.
II Exists Below Oklahoma City-Once
an Inland Sea.

an lnIano SEA.
About ten feet below the ground in
Oklahoma City is body OF blackish
water varying in depth from five to tif-
teen feet In sinking wells It is neces-
sary TO construct casing through this
blackish water and get the pure water
some ten feet below the suhtcrranean
lake. 1t Is believed that ages ago this
was portion of n vast inland sea or
part of the Gulf of Mexico. In digging
wells in the city many pebbles and sea
shells have been brought To the sur
face that have been worn perfectly
round and smooth and evidently shaped
thus by the action of sea waves. Old
plainsmen and Indians say that the
earth's surface about Oklahoma City
has undergone considerable transforms
alton within the past seyenty-five
years. Not many years ago the main
channel of the North Canadian river
coursed very near the present business
district Of the city on the south and
west sides.
It is also well known that under
lying all that portion of the city from
the Choctaw tracks southwark to the
present river channel is a vast gravel
bed. varying from ten to thirty feet in
thickness, through which greater
volume of water flows than courses
through the open channel of the river,
1t is said that there is quite a strong
current of water in this stratum of
gravel which has been frequently dem
onstrated by dropping feather down
into the northwest side of a well, the
feather being swiftly carried to the
southeast side of the well II has been
asserted that If all the waters of the
North Canadian river flowed on the
surface the size and volume of the
stream would be commensurate with
the Ohio river.
