MAGICIAN WAS
AT HIS BEST

Universal expressions appreciation
are being made today by those who
saw Durno last night, several who
years ago saw the elder Hermann say
ing they thought the work done last
night equally as good and mystifying.
The Young Peoples class Of the Chris
tian church Sunday school who, with
their teacher w. b. DePue, have
been giving the lyceum course the
past winter at the opera house, have
ample cause for congratulation. The
entertainments have been Of high
order throughout, and this city appre-
ciates the bringing here of lecturers
Of national reputation, one Of whom
has an every night price for lecture
of $3.50. While the course was costly
one, it was so well patronized that the
management Lave netted neat little
sum. rhey are in turn grateful for
such support, The attendance at the
popular Entertainment last night was
the greatest Of ALL reaching nearly
$50 people.

VINITA TAKESLEAD
First City of Importance to
Elect Full Corps of Demo-
cratic Officials.

Amid the cheering OF large gath
ering Of citizens the newly elected
Democratic city officials assumed
charge of the city's affairs last night.
Mayor Shanahan called the old coun-
Gil together az 7:30 and comt!e'ed the
business of fhat body In very short
time, when tie council adjourned and
the present Mayor Sam +. Parks
took the oath of office, and in turn
administered the oath to G. P. Fogle,
the newly elected recorder. The al
dermen, marshal and other officers
then in turn took the oath of Office.
Every member Of the council was
present except L. B. Bell, who was
absent from the city.
After the oath had been taken by
all the officials. Mayor Parks deliver
ed short address, in which he ex-
pressed his appreciation Of the honor
conferred upon him by the citizens or
Vinits, and his confidence in the new
ly elected board of aldermen and 9TH
er officials. Mayor Parks urged the
necessity of making Vinita an ideal
place in which to live and said that
it was his desire that the new council
exert every effort toward improving
the city. If Mayor Parks wishes are
carried out the coming year will be
the greatest the city mas ever had.
In closing his address Mr.. Parks
said that as most of the aldermen
were in hurry the session would be
short. He then named the standing
committees for the ensuing year.
1t was thought advisable to defer
the appointment of most Of the minor
officials until next Tuesday night.
A few of these, however, were ap-
pointed last night. John Britt was
made night watchman, Henry Wort
man was named to succeed himself az
superintendent Of waterworks and
Jim Davis was made scavenger. All
the other appointments were deferred.
On motion of Alderman Stutsman,
the Vinita Leader was declared the
official organ Of the city.
The bonds Of Treasurer Ficklin, Re-
corder Fogle and City Marshal Webb
were approved. The council then adj
journed to meet in regular session
again next Tuesday night.
With the installation Of full
Democratic administration, Vinita
takes the lead among Oklahoma Cit
les for Democracy. The last election
was along strictly party lines and
placed Vinita in the Democratic coll
umn beyond the shadow of a doubt.

BURNED TO DEATH
Fire Destroys Home and Gre
mates Two Children of Lee
CreeCh Near CentraIia.

In fire that consumed the home
and all of the belongings, the two
little girls of Lee Creech, one three
weeks, and the other two and half
years old, we're burned to death yes
terday at the Creech farm four miles
south of Centralia.
Lee Creech, the father, was break
ing a young horse to plow corn, and
the mother went to the field with
him to hold the horse while Mr.
Creech hitched it the plow. The two
children and four year od boy were
left in the house. 1t is supposed thaJ
some babies clothing, which we're
left hanging near the stove, which
Mrs. Creech had just filed with dry
cobs, caught fire and the fire spread
from this to the surrounding furni-
ture and walls. The little boy ran
out and tried to attract the attention
OF the mother and father, but with
out avail. When the parents did no.
tice the burning home, it was ready
to cave in.
The charred remains Of the little
ones we're removed from the ruins and
buried Tuesday afternoon. This is
one Of the saddest accidents ever re-
corded and the parents of the burned
children are almost distracted with
grief.
Practically everything possessed by
Mr.. Creech was consumed by the fire
and he is ruined. John Shields, a
neighbor was here last night and a
subscription was taken for the relief
of the family.

ARMY LIKES NEW LINE
PACIFIC COAST EXTENSION OF MIL
WAUKEE ROAD TOUCHES FORTS.
Solves Problem of Transporting Troops
Quickly in Time of Trouble
with Indians.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 21.-One of the
beneficial effects of the Pacific coast eX-
tension Of the Chicago. Milwaukee n st.
Paul railway will be the transporta
ton of soldiers of the regular army from
one fort to another. Heretofore it has
been customary for the soldiers in South
Dakota to make the journey either afoot
or horseback.
Officers of the road in Chicago have
just been notified that the second caval-
ry, now in the field in South Dakota on
account of the Ute Indian trouble, has
been ordered to Wakpala, s. d., point
on the ST. Paufs new Pacific coast eX-
tension and to board a train there for
return to the government station in Des
Moines. Another order sends soldiers
from the same point in South Dakota to
Leavenworth, Kan.
These will be the first movements of
soldiers over the new line and the first
time the government in that part of the
west has had railway facilities. The
new line will go through part of the
west that has been without railways
and the advent of the engine it is be
lieved will not only make possible quick
er movements of soldiers but tend to
keep the Indians in good order.

American football as "Unethical, unchrls-

Rugby football as the only game for
American colleges. DR.. Jordan not only
attacked football as played in this coun-

advocates of the American game OF cor
rupting the English into the American
style of play in order to get control OF
the game.
Game Is Monstrosity.
"The mass play in the American
game" he said, lis IA monstrosity. 1t is
the greatest evil ever introduced into
play. A game placing a premium on
brute strength is devoid of sportselanlike
qualities
~. Jordan condemned professionalism
and commercialism in college football
and said that pure amateur football was
"A rare thing in this country.
1T is about time for declaration OF

methods of securing athletes.

CAN'T BRING GAS DOWN.
York Receives Set
back.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The S0-cent
gas law ha: been adjudged unconstitu-
tional in decision rendered by Judge
Hough of the United States district
court on the ground that it practices
discrimination in differentiating between
private consumers and the city of New
York as consumer. and that it is con
tiscatory in that it would prevent the
company from earning fair and rea
sonable" return.
The decision of judy Hough is not,
however, q death blow to the S0-cent
law. AS soon as the public service com
mission learned of the adverse decision il
was stated that the matter would be ap-
pealed.
The gas trust claimed it had SS4,OOO.-
600 of tangible assets and S3O,OOO,OOO
of intangible assets represented by the
value of its franchises. 1t used three
figures to show that at an SO-cent rate
it could not earn a fair profit on its
investment.
