OPENING EXERCISES
Mena's Thirteenth Anniversary Cele- bratiou Began by Prayer and
 Speaking.

1t was about 10 o'clock when Pres. Dennis introduced. the Rev. T. A. Park, who made a earnest prayer that the fair should be a success in every way, especially in morally up- lifting those who attended.
 Mayor Legate then extended to the visitors a hearty welcome. Judge Wright Prickett was on the platform for an address, but at the last moment sent word that he could not come, and Representative John H. Hamilton was introduced. He told of the purpose for which the fair was organized, shich hc well could do as he was one sof the earl lest promoters and officers of the association.
 The speaker then spoke of the way the business men had year by year borne the expenses and urged that the country people take a larger interest in the event, as it was their fair after all

some wrestling thrown in. The men are arranged preparatory to start ing, very much as in basketball, that is as guard and forwards at each goal and as centers. The goals are boards about a foot wide and fifteen feet long. They are placed upright in the ground. one at each end of the field with the flat sides turned toward the field.
 In playing the game resembles football in it's roughness. Occasion ally it was nec assary for the referee to separate the players as they were almost as willing to wrestle and fight as they were to play. This only added to the excitement of the game.
 From the time the referee losses the ball up between the centers to the time score is made it is han died with what the Indians call Kapohcahas. These sticks are about thirty inches long and have sort of cup On one end. Each player has two sticks and he catches the ball very much as one does baseball. A score ismade when the ball is thrown so as to strike the goal on the side facing the field.

CLEANING OUT AND FIXING SPRING
Trouble to Control Flow Increasing
 Use of Water Here and Elsewhere.

Judge J. F. Kelly, park commis sioner, Tuesday employed Swa- ger & Hagerty, concrete contract ors, to clean out the Jansen park spring and undertake to coniine the water so that all or nearly all would pour out the main opening.
 The cleaning was easy and soon done, and among the articles taken out were "A marbles, doll head and many tin cups. Con- trolling the flow was not so sim- pie, as the water could not be dipped out aHd no pump could be obtained easily that would handle the flow.
 Each season more people real- ize the value of this fine spring, aud more water is carried away for drinking purposes, some by railway men to cities many miles away. There are cities that would give thousands of dollars to own such spring.

 WHILE SWIMMING,
REMARKABLE FIGHT FOR LIFE
Many Persons Watched 1s-Yearoid August sporer In His Brave Struggle Against Certain Death-Rody In Whirlpool.

Niagara Falls. N. Y, Aug. 1s.-- Elghteen-year-old August sporer of this city, drowned to-day in the whirlpool rapids.
 with three companions, Sporer went Tor swim in the river at the former Maid of the Mist landing. He struck out at once for the middle of the stream and then turned toward the bridges. His companions called to him to turn back, for the current is very swift at that point, but he kept on downstream and was caught in the great sweep, the first break from the smoother waters to the rapids.
 The boy struggled for time against the current. but to no avail Then, realizing that he was beyond human help and was to be carried through the rapids which took the life of Cap tain Webb, and which have resisted every unaided human effort at pas. sage, he deliberately turned down stream and began a grim fight for life.
 Not in all the history of the river has such a brave effort been wit messed. Although but frail boy. he went into the rapids swimming strongly and held his own until he struck the giant wave which curls up opposite the old battery elevator. Then he went under and for second was lost to sight of the score of per sons who stood on the lower arch bridge.
 Again and again he disappeared only to re-appear each time fighting desperately against the terrible cur rent Then when within 300 yards of the whirlpool, his strength gave out and he sank and was lost to view.
 Even then he had swan perhaps 100 yards farther than did the great English swimmer. Captain Webb

DE QUEEN EXPECTS
 BIG IMPROVEMENTS
Funds Being Raised to Secure Land for Trackage for Kansas City S)uthern Yards Horatio
 Cut Off.

The Kansas City Southern Rail way is said to have asked De Queen to secure for it's use as yards and trackage room, 10l acres of land and number of city blocks. The proposition is said to be that for this land the road is ready to give $7,000, the cost value of which Is said to be $14,000. De Queen is now raising the balance by subscription and doubtless soon will succeed.
 The large contemplated improve ments at De Queen, with other ru- mors and conditions, are taken to mean that the railroad will do some work there now done at Mena, and this has caused considerable uneasi- ness at Mena, where such large number of railroad men have homes. However, the road is preparing to very largely increase it's facilities as well as making radical changes along it's line. and it is not known that Mena will lose anything. One of these changes is where the main line will be taken away from Ho- ratio. which has been minor di- vision or turn around" point. This change will throw the Horatio work to De Queen. It is probable also that some of the heavy trains will be handled from De Queen to Heavener by some immense new engines that have been ordered.
 An effort was made to get exact facts from l.. +. Loree, who is at the head of he Kansas City South ern, but he was reported as out of New York City on a vacation.

GOV. HASKELL ALLEGES MiscoN. DUCT AGAINST FEDERAL OF.
 FIcIALs IN OKLAHOMA.
WAITED UNTIL LAST MINUTE
The Oklahoma Executive Seeks Id Have the Muskoeee Town Lot In. o'ctments ouashed-Aocused Men Are Out of State.

Muskogee, Ok, Aug. 1s.-At the eieVehth hour a petition to quelch indictments against Governor c. N. Haskell. charged with having obtained titles to Indian lands through fraud. was filed in the federal court here by Norman Haskell, son of the governor. This was the last day for the filing or the petition, and it was only a few minutes before the office of the fed. eral clerk closed that young Haskell hurried to the federal building. and entered the petition.
 Charges of misconduct in their reiat tion to the grand jury lodged against Attorney Gregg, Assistant Prosecutor Rush, Marshall Grant Victor and sev eral members of the grand jury have created considerable sensation. Law. yers crowded the court house in an effort to read the petition stipu1ating the charges against these men. All of the men against whom charges are made are out of the state at present.
 Talk here is to the effect that not only will charges be used In attempt to quash indictments, but that Haskell and other defendants will use all the Influence possible 10 see that those accused be brought to trial.
 Piiny Soper, Governor Haskelrs senior attorney. declared that charges would be pushed, to the end. He said that the case would probably be ar gued at Ardmore some time in Octo- Der before Judge Marshall of Salt Lake City. Judge Marshall was ap- pointed to preside when the indict- ments were brought at Tulsa.

Many Free Attractions Are on the Program for Friday and Saturday---Re the
 Program.

Mena's thirteenth Anniversary celebration and fair started Wed nesday morning with a large number of people in attendance, most of whom we're prepared to stay to the end. The one great handicap on the pleasure seekers seemed to be the heat, which as noon approached became intense, the oldest settlers asserting that they had never experienced such blast of hot winds. About noon, however, clouds began to gather and the temperature mod erated greatly.
 The grounds are very dusty, but these will be sprinkled early in the morning unless nature is so kind as to make such unneces- sarv.
 The display of poultry seems to be taking the lead over other ex. hibitions, and will be far ahead of any in past years, many GOODS arriving from abroad.

The Indian ball game, or as in the native language, Ishtilli tali, was not as much of a success as was expected. Marion Taylor, who with Jim Will kinson brought the team to Mena explained that it was played today with only one team. The other team had not arrived but is expected to be here in time to play Thurs days game. So instead of having full team of twelve on each side, only six played today. Instead of playing to twelve scores on one side as should have been done, they play ed only nine. The losing team scored six points.
