NEWEST MEMBER Of THE ELK FAMILY, WNTA LODGE NUMBER
ELEVEN HUNDRED SKTY-TWO INSTITUTED WITH GREAT GSTO
NUMBER OF EIGHTH
GRADE GRADUATES DOUBLED

Guthrie, Okla, May estate Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction. e.
d. Cameron, is proud of the fact that
the total number of eighth grade grad
yates in the state will be about double
the number last year, or any previous
year in the history of Oklahoma.
There is within the state 5,533 com
mon schools. Last year the total num-
Der of graduates was 2,4S6, or about
one graduate for every two schools.
This year the number of eighth grade
graduates will average about one for
each school. In addition to the re-
quirements of all previous years for
eighth grade diplomas, has been add
ed the subjects of Oklahoma history,
domestic science, agriculture and hor-
ticulture and music. Thus, not only
raising the standard required, but
doubling the number of graduates.
This speaks volumes for the edu-
cational spirit of the new state and
reflects great credit upon those at the
head of our common school system

ADAM GOD" GUILTY OF
SECOND DEGREE MURDER

jury in the case of James Sharp, or
adam God" charged with the murder
of Policeman Michael Mullane, in a
religious riot here December Sth last,
this morning returned a verdict of
guilty of murder in the second de-
gree, Sharp was sentenced to twenty
years in the penitentiary
When the verdict was read, Sharp
heard it without show of emotion
That's all right" said he, its the
win of God" Sharp's wife, Melissa,
who is yet to be tried for murder was
not in court When the news of the
verdict was conveyed TO her in the
cell, she wept, but quickly regained
her composure. Her case will come
up within week or ten days.

APPORT|ONMENT OF
SCHOOL LAND FUND
Union of Two Territories Did Not Cut
Down Per Capita Allowance
as Expected.

Guthrie, Okla, May 29.-The an
nouncement was made this week that
state superintendent of public instruc
ton has apportioned fifty cents of
the state money, derived from the
rentals of school land and interest on
the common school fund, to each por-
son of Oklahoma under twenty one
years of age. This is the largest sum-
mer dividend ever declared The ap-
portionment last January was one dol
lar. This makes one dollar and fifty
cents for each person of school age
within the state of Oklahoma. Too
much cannot be said in praise of the
school land department for this show
ing 1t was supposed that when the
two territories were united, and the
fund divided among the children of
all the state, instead of one-half the
state, that the aportionment would
be cut one-half. II was expected that
fifty cents per capita yer year would
be as much as we could reasonably
expect to realize, but this year that
amount has been trebled
These appointments prove that
the bitter attack made by the republi-
cans upon the school land department
during the last campaign were entire
ly without foundation

count of Negligence.

An interesting suit has been filed in
Nowata county against the register

mere say that this dinner was bounti-
full is indeed putting it 90 mild. The
ladies' served diner that was beyond
the dreams of any of the committee
who engaged them to serve the feast,
for such it was. For two hours the
Elks ate their fill of the rich delicacies
and many and loud were the praises of
the culinary ability of the ladies of
Vinita.
At eight o'clock the members of
the various lodges began assembling
at the Auditorium to witness the in
stallation of the new lodge and ini-
tiation proper of the candidates.
The Bartlesville lodge, number 1860,
had charge of the work and the can
didates were turned over to them.
The work of the team that put on the
work was splendid. They carried the
beautiful ritual through without
hitch, and praise of their ability were
heard on all sides. Several old mem
bers said their work was the finest
they had ever seen. The officers of
the Bartlesville lodge, who so ably
put on the work, were: Stanton C.
Moss, Exalted Ruler; W. H. Aspin
wall, Esteemed Leading Knight, w. H.
Barnes, Esteemed Loyal Knight; NJ
f. Kirk, Esteemed Lecturing Knight;
Elmer e. Sutton, secretary; Fred

They came.
They put on show.
Without protest Vinita was invaded
trampled upon and owned by herd of
several hundred Elks yesterday after
noon and night. There was nothing
in the city that was not theirs. If
there were any objections, and none
were heard, they were of no avail,
for that bunch took whatever suited
their fancy.
The crowds began arriving with the
trains from the east yesterday morn
ing, when the representatives of the
Monet and Joplin lodges reached the
city. The Parsons band arrived on
the 1l:10 train to play for the local
Elks and let it be said right here that
they played too. This is the best
band that has been heard in Vinita
in a long time. They played on the
streets and in the evening gave one
of the most beautiful concerts ever
heard here. The other bands that
were here also participated in this,
and treated Vinita people to a fine
lot of music At 1870 the trains from
Muskogee and Tulsa pulled into the
Katy and Frisco stations respectively.

were treated to their installment of
fun by the attempts of the animals"
to escape the torture awaiting them.
They were captured again and again
and placed in the cages, chained and
sometimes bruised up, but all came
out alive This part of the perform
ance was thoroughly enjoyed by the
people on the streets, and the streets
We're jammed with a throng larger
than on any circus day. The candi-
dates were taken back to the Audi
torium and dressed in grotesque cost
umes for the parade.
As soon as the special trains were
in, the line of march was formed, with
the animals in cages in the lead and
started on the parade of the streets.
This procession hilariously cheered by
the thousands that lined the streets
marched west on Illinois avenue to
Smith street, south on Smith to Can
adian, east on Canadian to Wilson, |
north on Wilson to Illinois and east |
on Illinois to Vann street. Then a |
few special stunts were put on by the
various aspirants to Elkdom. One of
the special features being the ride of

the worst looking. knock-kneed, en-
larged jointed specimen of the equine
family ever seen here. The candidate I,
started out bearing the banner Hand
some Harry, but this proved too strong
and the banner was torn up.
After the parade the candidates were
liberated until eight o'clock to per
init them to get their dinners. The
visiting Elks were taken to the third
story of the Halsell building where
a most bountiful dinner was served
by the ladies of the Civic club. To 7

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Only One Bath.
(Eath TimeS.)

Bath is the name Of several munich
pal and county organizations in the
United States and of city that used
to cut quite a good deal of ice in Eng
land, but when the name is used with
out any geogra phical attachments the
place referred to is Bath, Maine. This,
at all events, is true where ships go.
To the maritime world, there is only
one Bath. If you doubt it, we refer
you to the clippings elsewhere i'll to-
days Times from a recent number Of
the Observation-Disclosures, in which
the reporter refers to Bath-no handle
as if their readers were as familiar
with the place referred to as If it We're
just across the Sound, instead Of 1000
miles across the continent in State
of which a few provincial Greater New
Workers profess not to know any sub
divisions. That particular copy of the
Post acknowledgements, which happened to
be sent to a Bath man who handed it
into the Times Office, is an interesting
exhibit Of the maritime prominence of
Names City of Ships. In that far away
port. about half of the shipping page Of
the leading newspaper consists of items
about Bath vessels. ONT there, they
evidently regard bath model as the
standard of excellence. OF course it is,
ard we are accustomed to have it SO
recognized on the Atlantic seaboard, but
it would not be strange If busting
Western metropolis like Seattle, which
has grown UP since the great days OF
the American deep sea marine, did not
know it.
