John p. Wilson Dying.

Mr.. John P. Wilson, one of the most
prominent citizens of this section of Cecil
county suffered a stroke on Tuesday
morning and his condition is now such
that death may result at any time. Mr..
Wilson although an active man for one of
his years, having passed his 74th birth
day, has been subjected to several nerve
racking experiences within the past week,
which it is thought brought on the stroke
of paralysis. On Sunday while attending
funeral his horse became frightened at
an auto and came near causing serious
mixup. The following day a lifelong
acquaintance died and while arranging
for her funeral his horse again gave him
serious trouble in passing the steam roll
ers on the road work near Gathers Corner,
leaving him in highly nervous condition.
Tuesday morning while working in the
stable Mr.. Wilson was seized with the
stroke and fortunately assistance was
available at once to carry him to the
house. Since then his condition has been
very grave and beyond medical aid.

Rain Comes At Last.

Rain, SO long hoped for and predicted
time after time in vain, began falling
Thursday night of last week, and con-
tinued steadily Friday, giving the ground
a thorough and much needed soaking,
something it has scarcely had in this i'm
mediate locality the entire summer. On
Sunday, June 27, heavy electric storm,
with downpour of rain swept over this
section. and there was no more rain here
until Sunday evening, August IS, which
was the last to fall until that of Thursday
night and Friday last.
The long drought this summer has been
the worst recorded in some sections of the
State, since the establishment of the
Weather Bureau, forty years ago. The
crops have suffered for want of rain, and
the ground had become so hard and dry
that 1t was next to impossible for our
farmers to do their fall plowing, and as a
consequence the seeding for the wheat
crop will be late this fall.

payers of the Third and Fourth election
districts of this county met the County
Commissioners and the local Auxiliary
Good Roads Commission in the Court
House at Elkton, on Saturday to discuss
and determine which roads should be inn
proved under the money derived from the
sale of $500, 900 road bonds. Those who
had had the meeting called wanted the

with gravel and Governor Crothers stated
that the State had selected that road as
part of the State road to be built through
Cecil county.
This statement resulted in number of
other persons suggesting and urging that
various other roads be permanently i'm
proved at once. The meeting lasted fully
three hours and adjourned, practically

STANDING on THE CLUES.

Despite the fact that the managers of
the Elkton team advertised by colored
posters that Elkton would put cloud
over the Sum-" there was a miscarriage
of plans, as the Sun shone brightly on the
Elkton ball field during the entire game,
with the exception of the first inning.
Owing to the dispute that arose in the
game between the two teams on August
2s, when the score resulted in tie, it was
agreed to play it off on Saturday last, the
result being victory for Rising Sun.
Efing was in great form, the county seat
boys only securing two safeties off his
pitching. Clay was batted rather freely,
one of the hits off him being home run
drive by Brickley. The score:

Enid, Okla. Sept. 4.-The Western
association 1909 season closed yester-
day, Enid winning the pennant by a
good margin The local team took
the lead several weeks ago and was
never in danger since that time. Mus
kogee finished in second place after
a hard struggle during the fore part
of the season. Third place went to
Guthrie. the Senators working their
way up from the second division In the
past few weeks.
Financially the season for a time
was very stormy but after the Joplin
and Webb City clubs had been trans
ferred to FL Reno and Sapulpa respec-
lively. they made money and the af-
fairs Of the association improved con
siderably.
It is not probable that Joplin or
Springfield will ever seek franchises
in the association again. There is
some talk of making the association
an all-Oklahoma league next season.

Public Institutions Are
To Be Fought Over Again

Guthrie, Okla. Sept. 4.-That ths
next legislature will have to fight out
again many Of the public institution
bills passed by the last state assembly
is beginning to be believed here. Work
on half dozen institutions has no
begun, and every day puts the building
of these institutions further off. The
asylum board has made a recommen-
dation that the building of an insane
ASYLUM at Vinita be delayed until an
other legislature SO that the appropria-
ton can be increased from 100000 to
$500 600; the board of control of the
Whitaker orphans home at Pryo
Greek. has recommended that unless
Pryor Creek will give GAO acres of
land TO the orphan home 1t should not
be permanently established there. and
Pryor Creek doesn't seem to mind
much. Enid is said to be almost in
clined to ask that the home for the
feeble minded be moved elsewhere;
Pauls Valley and Winnewood are still
fighting over the site for the boys
industrial school, to the detriment of
the final building of the school; and
the matter OF the state reformatory
at Granite has reached such tangled
stage that the citizens Of that placs
are alternating between despair an
cussin' whenever the penal institution
is mentioned.
The blind school was not permanent
" located at Fort Gibson. Sulphur has
the school for the deaf only at tn
pleasure Of the legislature. Both o.
these institutions win be clamored for
at the next session Of the legislature
and probably. as in the cases above
be weighed and disregarded wheI
once obtained
The second legislature provided ap
propriations Of 100000 for building
of the insane asylum at vinita; S25,-
900 for the training school at Wynne-
wood-PauIs Valley; $4,000, home fol
the feeble minded at Enid; $4,000 for
the state reformatory at Granite; $685.
900 for the Whitaker orphan home at
Pryor Greek vetoed in part by the
GOVERNOR; nothing for building at Sui
phur and Fort Gibson.
The trouble at Enid seems to be that
the people care very little for the pro
posed institution at Pryor Greek and
Fort Gibson, the same; at Pauls Val.
ley and Wynnewood, the two towns
are scrapping each other fiercely to
get the location as near one or the
