SITUATION DREADFUL.
incessant Rain Greatly Increases Dam
ace by the Flood.


Muskogee, Oct. 23.-The incessant
rain has made the flood situation
much worse here. Early Friday morn
ing the bridge across the Arkansas
river at GAINESVILLE was swept out,
carrying with 1t the gas mains that
supply the city the natural gas used by
every one for manufacturing heating
and cooking. The Gas company re,
ports it will take two weeks to repair
this line. The coal dealers have not
enough coal to last day and the
railroads cannot get trains over their
lines for more.
A telephone message from Eufaula
says that the Katy bridge across the
Canadian near that place is out, ty
ing up traffic on the main line. which
traffic on the-branch lines of this road
has been demoralized for two days
The Midland Valley is detouring
trains via the Iron Mountain into Fort
Smith on account of the bridge being
out near Stigler. vs. ''''''
Train service is practically aband-
oned between this place and Guthrie
and Oklahoma City.
The Midland Valley has miles OF
track under water and the Katy be-
tween Atoka and Oklahoma City is
reported badly washed out, as is the
Fort Smith and Western. The Frisco
is running trains between Muskogee
and Okmulgee, but is having trouble
on its lines to Texas. Train service
is paralyzed all over the eastern sec.
ton of the state.

HON. VIM. J. BRYAN.
Points Out the Necessity for a Full
Party Vote.


Party Vote.
Hon. w. C. Davis of this city is In
receipt of the following letter from
Hon. w. J. Bryan:
Lincoln. Nebr., Oct. 20.--Mr w. c..
Davis, Bryan, Texs. Dear Sir:-The
committee has thought it wise to ar
range dates for me in the doubtful
states and | therefore have not had
time to visit the states known to be-
certainly Democratic. | wish you
would explain the matter to our Demo
Gratis there and assure them that my
absence is not due TO lack of interest
in them, but to the fact that | can
serve them better by helping to win a
national victory than by visits which,
while pleasant, would not add to our
strength in the electoral college
shall visit the South after the cleo,
ton. The favorable reports we are re-
ceiving lead me to hope that ] may
come as the president-elect and share
with your people in the rejoicing that
will follow a triumph for the Demo
cratic principles and policies.
| need not say anything in explain
alton or in support of our platform
Your people are acquainted with the
issues and understand the Importance
of a national Democratic victory. dc
wish, however, that you would impress
upon the voters of your section the ne
cessity of polling the largest possible
vote in the Southern states. There
are two reasons for this. First, every
vote cast in the South adds to the pop
ular vote in the nation, and we need
a popular majority as well as a major
ity in the electoral college. A popu-
lar majority will give public endorse
ment and a moral support which will
be needed in carrying out the policies
outlined in the platform.
Our Democratic vote in the South
usually falls several hundred thous-
and short of what it might be, merely
because the Democrats do not feel
that their votes are necessary in their
state and congressional contests.
wish you would make it your business
to see that every Democratic vote in
your section is polled this year that
we may have the encouragement and
support that a popular majority will
give.
There is another reason why your
people should be sure to vote, even
though they may feel that their votes
are not necessary to elect their local
South is constantly used by those re
publicans who talk about the reduc
ton of Southern representation in
Congress- The larger the vote polled
the less the influence of such an argu
ment Please assist us to the extent
of your ability in the effort to secure
/ the largest Democratic vote ever
polled in the South and the largest
Democratic majority ever recorded
for the national ticket.
Thanking you for the assistance yor
have given us in the campaign, | am
Very truly yours,
w. ]. BRYAN.

The ChiIdren's Friend.

Mr.. c., distinguished lawyer OF
Boston, was on his way to Denver to
transact some important business.
During the afternoon he noticed, in
the opposite section of the Pullman
a sweet-faced, tired appearing woman
travelling with four small children
Being fond of children and feeling
sorry for the mother, he soon made
friends with the little ones.
Early the next morning he heard
their eager questions and the patient
Eyes, dear" of the mother as she
tried to dress them, and looking out
he saw a small white foot protruding
beyond the opposite curtain. Reach.
ing across the aisle, he took hold of
the large toe and began to recite:
This little pig went to market; this
little pig stayed at home; this little
pig had roast beef; this little pig had
none; this little pig cried wee wee
all the way home" The foot was
suddenly withdrawn and cold, quiet
voice said; THAT is quite sufficient,
thank you"
Mr.. G, hastily withdrew to the
smoker, where he remained until the
train arrived in Denver. Good

DUST SHOWN TO
HAVE ITS Uses.
Particles in the Air Serve to
Moderate the Temperature "a
Blanket For Earth.

We are apt to think of the dust
that the air contains in greater or less
quantities as simply an annoyance,
and perhaps source of disease, but
the researches of scientists have of
late years revealed atmospheric dust
to us in new lights.
1t appears that when the air is very
thick and hazy it may contain dust
particles to the number of from 10,-
900 to 10000 in every cubic cent?
metre, while cubic centimetre of
very clear air may contain only from
a dozen up to few hundred parti-
cles.
The observations of the best au-
thorities indicate that there is re-
lation between the quantity Of dust
and the temperature of the air. A
great amount of dust, it is averred,
increases the temperature in the day
time and checks the fall of tempera-
ture at night.
The reason apparently is that the
presence of dust serves as an obstruc-
ton to the free radiation of heat
through the air. The sunbeams pass
through very pure, clear air without
lending much heat to it, and at night
the heat received by the ground dur
ing the day readily escapes through
the same air, but If the atmosphere is
heavily laden with dust the suns rays
are partially arrested by the particles
which, becoming heated, in turn
warm the air, and in like manner
heat radiated from the earth at night
is retained in the hazy layers of air
in contact with its surface.
Without it's atmosphere, which
serves as a coverlet to protect it
against the fearful cold of space, the
surface of the earth would be frozen
like that of the airless moon. But
the latest researches seem to show
that the beautiful atmospheric blan-
ket wrapped round our planet varies
in its power to retain heat in proper
ton to the amount of dust particles
it contains.
This is an instance of the unex-
pected Importance that the most mi
mute phenomena of nature frequently
assume when their true significance
has been ascertained.- Philadelphia

new JERSEY STATE NEWS
Skeleton Found in a Trunk.

Frank Smith, watercress pedler,
was arrested at Summit and held
pending further investigation into
the finding in woods near Summit of
a trunk containing the skeleton of
human body. Smith said the trunk
had been discovered by an acquaint-
ance of his who formerly worked in
the American Hygiene Institute,
which is not far from where the find
was made This acquaintance, Smith
said, took him to the spot about two
months ago and showed him the
trunk and the skeleton. In fear Of
arrest, he kept still about it until
short time ago he wrote letter to
New York paper describing the find
and asking if anybody was missing
from that city He handed the let
ter to friend to mail after telling
of the contents and heard nothing
further until his arrest Originally
the trunk had been buried, Smith
said, but when he first saw it it had
been dug up by his friend of the in
stitute, who had run across it by ac-
cident. The police say they have in,
formation which involves others in
at least the discovery of the remains.
There is nothing in the trunk to in
dictate who the dead person was.

LOCAL PAPERS STRENGTH.
Good One Need Have No Fear Of
Outside Competition.

The local newspaper If properly
conducted, can always dominate the
local sield. no matter how strong the
competition of outside newspapers
may be.
The local newspaper that amounts
to anything expends the most of its
energy in gathering and printing
home news, but it's managers know
that while home news is of the great
est Importance something else is re-
quired The people want to be kept
informed in regard to what is going
on throughout the State and the
country. They may not care for
lengthy reports of distant events, but
they do want the important facts.
Give them this news in condensed
form and they are content.
The big city dailies cannot compete
with the local paper in its own field.
They are not in touch with the life
Of the town. They cannot give the
proper perspective to the news. They
do not represent the place itself in
any way. They are outsiders whose
interests are conferred elsewhere.
The local newspaper is home in
stitution and its people take pride in
its career. 1t keeps them in touch
with the happenings of home folks
folks they know and see daily. Its
advertising columns are filled with
the announcements of the merchants
with whom they do business. There
fore, they want and need it above all
other publications
If the manager of the local news
paper knows his business and gives
his readers the kind OF news they re-
quire. he need have no fear of COM
petition from outside newspapers, no
matter how large and strong they
may be. It is only when he goes to
sleep on the job that danger threat
