3 PLAYERS SOLD
TO COAST LEAGUE
Rise of Two Players of Muskogee
Western Association Team is
Watched by Vinita Fans.

The following from the Muskogee
Phoenix this morning will interest
many baseball fans in Vinita. Mayes
and Schultz are well known here:
Upon the return OF Manager Geo.
F. Dalrymple from California, yester-
day. it was learned that three of the
Governors stars had been sold to the
Pacific Coast league, viz: Stofer and
Mayes to Portland and Red Schultz
to San Francisco The latter will take
Joe Corbett's place on the pitching
staff of the San Franciscans. The sell
ing price, as given out by the manage
ment here is $1,000 per player.
Stofer and Mayes will probably re-
port about the 18th inst. and Schultz
is subject to orders at any time. This
is the first deal that has been made by
the local team for its players and they
will be the first of Western Associa-
tion men to report. Patterson, with
Guthrie, and Hamilton are reported
sold, but will not report before the end
of the season.
OF course the absence of this trio
from the local lineup will weaken the
team considerably. However, Dalrym
pie says he will get a new shortstop
who is as fast as any in the league
outside Stofer Dal will himself go
back to center, Nickel to left and Gra-
ham to right. There is no reason, with
a fast short, who can hit in Stofeg's
job, why the Governors will not be as
strong as any other team in the nir-
cult.

Main Discusses Cause
of Lack of Efficiency

Denver, Colo, July 8.-"The college
muck-raker has said, and has proved
his point, that college education to-
day is chiefly notable for its ineffec-
tiveness," said John II. T. Main, pres
ident of Iowa college, Grinnell, Ia, in
an address before the Department of
Higher Education of the National Ed
ucational association today. But
like all epigrammatic statements, this
is not the only thing that can be said
and proved about college education. 1t
may also be shown that it is the most
effective method in existence for ac-
quainting men with the world and MAX
ing them efficient agents in it.
":The college bred man is under
normal conditions the superior man,
but he may be produced at too great
expense when we consider all the time
and labor and money spent upon him.
Efficiency has a definite relation to
cost of production.
Lack of efficiency in college educa-
tion is largely due to absence of inner
community life in our colleges. This
is due to diversity of interests culti-
waited by the elective system, the large
The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1909-07-08

and rapidly growing number of
courses offered, the absence of a de-
finite controlling purpose in the in
stitution as a whole, the professional
and technical methods that too often
charactize the work, the absence of a
relationship between teacher and pupil
on a personal basis, and finally the alb
sence of a genuine desire for a unified
spirit and life.
ITO correct this condition there must
first of all, be a genuine desire for in
life. A strong purpose
looking to this end win achieve it.
There must be an institutional spirit
developed by strong personalities in
administrative and teaching positions
There must be organization of the cleo
tive system in such a way as to Sc
cure unity of spirit. particularly in
lower classes. The college must at
times work as a college on the intel
lectual and spiritual side as well as on
the side of athletics and general ac-
tivities In the modern college the
problem is a difficult one, but when
we determine to solve it, we can do

NEARLY SEVEN INCHES Of
RAIN NEAR SPRINGFIELD
Three Lives Reported Lost and Great Damage
to Property Floods at Kansas City, Topeka
and Northern Missouri Has Begun to Re-
cede--MissOuri RiUer Will Not Reach
1903 Stage by Several Feet
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Springfield, Mo, July S.-Springfield
and vicinity is suffering the worst
flood in it's history, following an over
flow of the Jordan river, as a result of
a rain fall of nearly seven inches early
today.
The river, normally but twenty feet
wide is today half a mile wide. Three
persons are reported drowned, and the
property damage is placed at three
quarters of a million dollars. Scores
of residences are flooded. Factories
and warehouses are partially submerg-
ed The water was receding at noon.
At Kansas City, the Missouri river
stood twenty-four feet and five inches
at eight o'clock this morning and the
Kansas river was twenty-one feet.
There was rise in both streams of
two feet in the last twenty-four hours.
According to the local weather bureau
the crest in the Missouri will be reach
at twenty-five feet. At Topeka, Kans.,
the river fell four inches during the
night and now stands at sixteen feet
and six inches.
The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1909-07-08

has been slight and the river here
must come up nearly ten feet yet be-
fore the stage of the floods of 1903 and
1904 are reached. Such rise is not
likely with the streams above falling.
No additional lives have been lost as
far as known.
At Pattonsburg in northwestern Mis-
souri, and vicinity, where two thousand
persons had been driven to the roofs
of their houses and to the tree tops
the water had receded fourteen inches
and continued to recede today. Most
of the refugees had been removed to
safe ground.
Tie flood conditions which for a
time were serious were believed this
morning by the arrival of food and
clothing from the surrounding towns.
The relief train from ST. Joseph, which
had been stalled near Santa Rose,
landed it's rescuers within two miles
of Pattonsburg early today and from
there boats were used.
AT Pomona, Kans., where train
was wrecked yesterday in the high
waters of the Marias Des Cygnes river,
the food is receding today.

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Twice daily, beginning Monday, Aug
ust End, Lyman H. Howe's famous NOV
ing pictures; New York Travel Festival:
20 Big Features.
There will be surprise for the people
who go to Fords Opera House when Ly
man H. Howe begins his great New
York Hippodrome Travel Festival, Aug
ust End. The popular playhouse has been
SO changed by contractor and artist that
it will be difficult to realize that it is not
a new theatre. The attraction too, will
reveal remarks able new front. Since
Mr.. Howe's exhibitions have been in
Baltimore the steps toward the perfec-
ton of moving photography presentation
in his organization have been great.
So realistic have the men with the ami
mated camera made his scenes free from
flicker and vibration and so filled with
action, and the enlarged company of i'm
itators rehearsed the conversations and
mechanical sound, that the admirer of
the Howe entertainment in the past will
open his eyes.
The appearance of the five Howe pro-
grammes, all new, in New York Hippo
drome few months ago was the signal
recognition of the high point of excel
ence reached by the famous exhibitor.
He has gathered from every country
under the sun brand new series of inter
esting phases of life of today and he has
cleverly combined them in his entertain
ment that the New York public filled the
great Hippodrome at every performance.
This is the time of the year when Mr..
Howe is always popular in Baltimore
Messrs. Ford think that they will exceed
the former record of 100, 600 people in q
month made by Mr., Howe two years age
at Ford's.
Prices, Nights, rs, 35 and SO cents.
Matinees Is and Is cents

Looks Like Business.

During the past week Mayor Freeze
and Mr. l., K. Waesche have heen busy
securing rights-oiway and water rights
from property owners along Hunting
creek. The object of their wo:j; is to Sc
cure permission to lay pipe line from a
point Oh the property OF Mrs. William
firor and near the residence o. Mr.. JOS
Stuart to "A point hear the +. a. 4. bridge
over the stream south Of town, where an
electric plant will be built. they have
practically secured all rights q ,e, every
one being in sympathy with tie move
ment and anxious for electric light for
rhurmont. Electrical engine RS have
been here and obtained d. ia and are now
making estimates.
An ideal location for a large dam is
f and on the Firor property, on one side
OF the stream being large bed of rock
aud directly across and along the county
road is high bank. From this point TO
or near the bridge south of town the
stream falls about $50 feet. The distance
from the dam to where the power house
would be is not quite mile.
Providing the cost is not too great,
Thurmont will have in the near future an
electric plant large enough to furnish
light for her streets, business houses
and private residences, and also supply
current to factories.

THURM0NT. ND. has "a population of HOO;

nine summer boarding houses; one opera
house; SIX arrivals of mail; all trains on

and well-equipped fire department.
There are four factories, five secret So
cieties, several clubs and one newspaper,
The Catoctin Clarion, to which return in
days"
We printed it thus to help advertise
the town, but find that we have not
properly advertised ourselves. Recently
we came across an envelope of one of
business houses in Thurmont on which
was printed this same card, the mer-
chants name being at the end instead of
The CLARION. Our card does not state
that envelopes are printed in Thurmont
and no doubt that is the reason we did
not print his envelopes.
We are glad to have the town adver-
tised, but for merchant to swipe our
adv. and go elsewhere to have his work
done is about all our nerves will bear.

A Fatal Fall.

Mr.. John Johnson Crapster, one Of

horrible death on Tuesday afternoon,
July 20, at his home in that place. He
had Mr.. Plus Fink, plumber, employ
ed making some repairs about his house
roof and Mr.. Crapster had a ladder reach
ing from his porch roof to the roof of
his house, on which he was standing when
it slipped and rundle broke, letting him
fall down across the iron fence in front
of the porch, breaking his back in three
places. Mr. Fink made his way down to
him as quickly as possible and lifted him
off the fence and the doctor was sent for,
but he only breathed for about twenty
minutes after the fall and apparently
was not conscious at all after the fall.

Two Men Killed by Explosion of Dyna.


mite.
Mr.. Oliver D. Best and John Fornace,
colored, met death Thursday afternoon
last shortly before three o'clock in a most
horrible manner at Best Bros stone
quarry. The men were preparing blast
in the quarry in the rear of the brick
yard operated by Mr.. Victor Brookey,
on East street, opposite the end of East
Sixth street, Frederick. They were
loading drilled hole, Fornace using the
tamping rod, and Mr.. Best filling in the
explosives. Near where the men were
working was box of dynamite, contain
ing large quantity of the explosive,
supposed to have been about SO pounds.
1t is thought that the premature ex-
plosion of the blast which was being pre-
pared by the men, caused the box of
dynamite to go off. The explosion was
terrific, and the men, who were instant
ly killed, were thrown high in the air.
The mangled body of Mr.. Best was
hurled 100 feet, and the body of Fornace
about 125 feet, from the point at which
the explosion occurred. All that remain
ed of the body of Mr.. Best was the
trunk and part of the skull, the remain
der being blown to pieces and scattered
about the ground
Fornace was disembowled. One of his
arms was torn off, and his right leg was
torn off just below the hip, and part of
the left leg torn off above the ankle.
In the bottom of the quarry about ten
feet below where the unfortunate men
were working, were Clarence Murphy
and Henry Turner, both colored, who es-
capped being hurt. Grant Chambers, col
ored, was talking to Mr. Best, just a
moment before the accident, and was
walking away, having gotten about
twenty feet, when the explosion occur
red. He was struck on the forehead
with piece of stone, making an ugly
wound,
