Music Convention at Board Camp.

To the Star: --I took a trip to Board Camp last Friday to attend the Polk county music convention. I met the good people at the church, all very anxious to make the meeting a success, and they succeeded, and they also made the visitors feel as though they were among good friends.
 Saturday night twenty or more attended from Big Fork. They brought song books and we had good singing.
 was sorry that more of the old members who like to sing were not present, but was pleased to see so many young men ready to take the older leaders, places.
 The following officers were elected: J. H. Vanhorn, vice president; Fred Embry, secretary treasurer, Richard Morris, county organizer, Wilborn Helton, chap lain; Miss Dsvie Morris, organist. {.
 Friday night stoped with my good friend K. C.. Rials and Sat urday night with Brother Embry. we had dinners on the ground and while eating l thought of the editor and how he would have enjoyed it.
 consider the singing conven- ton one of the best things ip Polk county, where people of all political and religious beliefs meet and sing in harmony and no questions asked.
 The next meeting will be held at Big Fork. May the people continue to sing.

CHICAGO FIRE LOSS.
TWO BURLINGTON ELEVATORS AND A TRANSFER WARE.
 HOUSE DESTROYED.
sl,Ooo,OOQ WORTH OF PROPERTY BURNEi
Heat So Intense That Flremen Could Not Get Nearer Than Block to the Burning BuiIdings-Three Men Sup posed to Have Been Burned--WateI Turned Into Steam,

Chicago, Aug 5.--F'ire which wat so hot that the firemen could not get nearer than a block of it and which made It necessary to play streams of water on buildings three and four squares away Monday afternoon de. stroyed the Burlington elevators ''E" and "F." the dock transfer warehouse of that road. and either burned or rendered useless 100 box cars. The loss on the grain in the two elevators is placed by Armour & Co, who owned it, at $700,000 The total loss Is placed at $1,000,00O.
 The fire started at 1 p. m. in the Burlington warehouse. supposedly from a cigarette dropped near several bar. rels containing chemicals. At the first explosion which shook every building in the vicinity the 250 men employed in the warehouse and elevators fled and 1t Is believed all escaped, al. though there were unconfined reports that three men hemmed in by flames had been unable to get away.
 Eighty fire engine companies and three fire tugs had all they could do to confine the confiagration to It's original limits. The intense heat ren. deerd any effort to save the elevators hopeless. The streams of water by the time they had traversed the block from the nozzles were mere showers of spray which quickly formed into clouds of steam. The firemen worked continuously in a shower of sparks and flaming embers which travelled for blocks. At three o'clock Fire Marshal Horan declared that further spread of the flame was not to be feared. Monday night, however, sev- eral engines were pouring their streams into the glowing wreckags

Bonaparte's National Bank Decision
 Discussed at Fsirview.

, Fairyiew. Lincoln. Aug. 4--Attor ney-General Bonaparte's opinion de. livered Saturday holding It to be il legal for national banks of Oklahoma to contribute toward the guaranty fund for the protection of depositors or to avail themselves of the othes privileges of the state banking act was the subject of good deal of dis cussion here Sunday. Prominent Dem ocrats of Lincoln freely averred that following so closely on the heels of che Standard oil reversal in Chicago and the contempt cases against the labor leaders in Washington the opin- ion of the federal attorney general still further strengthening the Dem ocratic party in the present campaign. Mir Bryan himself gave expression to the same effect. Tt accentuates the issue" said he, and emphasizes the necessity of legislation framed from the standpoint of the depositor rather than from the standpoint of the banker"

JURY DID NOT AGREE.
Court Reduced Charge Against Jack Nichols to Aggravated Assault
 Then Came the Mistrial.

Before Squire Sam Smith at the court house, the preliminary hearing of Jack Nichols, charged with assaulting Holder Williams with intent to kill, was ou trial Tuesday.
 It is the result of a fight be- tween the two young men which took place at picnic at Big Fork few weeks ago.
 As is usually the case in relat- ing details which occur during the excitement of a fight, the evi- deuce as given by the witnesses leaves 1t rather a mixed-up affair.
 The mother of the defendant is widow woman. She and her two sons objected to the atten- tion being paid one of her daugh. ters by Williams, because he is sad to have wife living and other reasons regarding his char acter. Williams is said to have continued his attentions to the
  girl and after couple of quarrels between Williams and the girls brother, Jack Nichols, during the day at the picnic, tbe two young men started off together to talk the troubles over, 1t is claimed. The fight resulted, Willis ms claiming Nichols drew a knife aud prevent being cut he struck Jack with a stick and received the bad cut on his arm which nearly resulted in his bleeding to death.
 Nichols defense is that Will Hams struck him with a stick and in self defense he drew his knife and cut Williams.
 The trial was concluded in the afternoon, Justice Smith reducing the charge to aggravated assault.
 The trial of this latter charge against Nichols was held before Justice Smith Wednesday aud tried by jury which resulted in mistrial, the jury failing to agree on a verdict. No time has yet been set for rehearing in the case.
 The defendant was represented by J. l. Alley and the state by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney E. J. Lundy.

CAN'T ACCEPT LAW
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HoLps THAT NATIONAL BANKS CAN
 NOT GUARANTEE DEPOSITS.
WOULD CAUSE BANK TO LOSE CHARTER
secretary of the Treasury Asked for An Opinion in An Oklahoma Case soneparte Says National Banks Can. not Permit Themselves to Be Tax. cd Under the Guarantee Plan.

Washington, Aug 4.--In an official opinion made public recently. Attor. ney General Boneparte holds that A national bank which conforms to A state law for guaranteeing bank de- posits gives just cause for the for. feiture of it's charter Under this rul- ing of the head of the Department of Justice, no national bank in Oklahoma can permit itself to be taxed. as it's state banks are. for the creation of a depositors' guarantee fund.
 The attorney generals opinion was based on an inquiry from the secre- tary of the treasury and the comp troller of the currency, submitted March 1. 1908. The attorney general was informed that if it was not with in the powers of national bank to ac- cept the guarantee provisions of the Oklahoma statute, the secretary of the treasury would direct the comp troller to bring suit to forfeit the char. ter of certain national bank in Ok lahoma in case it should persist in accepting the provisions of the statute in question.
 The opinion is regarded as having an extremely important deterrent on the movement to obtain federal au. thority for a guarantee for a guaran. tee of the deposits of national banks.
