EXCESSIVE HEAT is
FOLLOWED BY RAIN
GENERAL SHOWER MAKES CORN
CROP A CERTAINTY AND AS
suRES PROSPERITY.

Following a day Of oppressive heat
with the Thermometer somewhat
above 105, a shower of rain fell last
evening that cooled the atmosphere
and made rivers of the streets.
Again last night more rain fell and
the total fall amounted to little
more than an inch. With the earth
as thirsty as it was, the rain is a
light one, but it will do a vast
amount of good to the country. Heay-
ier rains fell to the east of here
and there is today no cause for
alarm in this section OF the coun-
try concerning the agricultural out
look. Oats and wheat, prairie hay
and alfalfa, vegetables and fruit nave
ali been a success. Corn in some
portions has been damaged slightly
but practically a full crop will be
made now and Carter county will
raise more corn this year than 1t
will consume. There was never a
year in this country when cotton
looked better than it does now. and
the prospects are good indeed for
4 heavy yield of cotton. From re-
ports received over the telephone
1t seems that the rain was general
over the country and thece is no
estimating the value it has been to
southern Oklahoma.

Telephone Reports.

Reports received by the Ardmore
lite from points surrounding Ardmore
indicate that vast area of this
portion of the state was visited
yesterday evening and last night by
showers that will be great bless
ing to the crops of the country. Just
after noon today a cloud passed to
the west of here and good rains
are reported from Brock, Cheek and
the country to the north and south
of there. Good rains fell at Mari.
eta, Davis, Wynnewood, Pauls Val.
ley and Purcell. The latter place
was visited by hail. Malil' was Wis.
tied by a good rain and Durant
received only a sprinkle. Tishomin.
go, to the east had a good rain.
The rain at Hewitt and Orr was
light. Lone Grove was in the wake
of the rain also.
Walter Colbert said this morning.
that all corn that had been cultivat-
ed would make a good yield. In in.
stances where the farmers quit plow-
ing six weeks ago the crop is cut
short, and cannot be saved by rain.
John Skipworth said he sat up
last night to laugh. His crop he says
is very fine, ''and let me tell YOU
he said, 81 have a plan to make
one acre just worth fifteen ordinary
acres, and that is to put it In Ber
muda grass" This assertion is in
keeping with the words of the state
agricultural board, who are encour
aging the people to raise Bermuda.

JUDGE RUSSELL
HERE JULY IS
WILL SPEAK UNDER AUSPICES
OF THE LOCAL CRUcE CLUB
BRYAN COUNTY SITUATION.

Judge Stillwell IL. Russell accept
ed today an invitation from the
Carter County Cruce Democratic
club to deliver a speech in Ardmore
on the night of July is. If the
weather is pretty, arrangements will
be made for an open air speech
where the people will not swelter
from heat. otherwise some large au-
ditorium viii be secured to hold the
crowds that will come to hear MN
Judge Russell is among the most elo'
auent speakers in the state OF Okla
homa. he has something to say
bearing upon the present campaign
that will be of interest to every
voter of the state, and large num-
her of people will come from adjoin-
ing counties to hear this speech.
Judge Russell left today for Du'
rant where the Cruce Club invited
him to address them tonight. They
would not take no for an answer,
and Judge Russell will be with
them.
The situation in Bryan county at
this time is very interesting to
both Cruce and Murray. Some OF
the leading politicians in that coun
ty were for Murray in the early
portion of the campaign, and the
county was reported in the Muir
ray column. But recently the Muir
ray workers have lain down, and
the Cruce forces are capturing the
county. The Cruce club there has
more than three hundred active
members residing in the town OF
Durant, and the membership is be-
ing extended rapidly TO every town
ship in the county.
Former active Murray workers are
now in the Cruce camp. There has
been some reason for this change,
and it looks now like this same
tendency to desert Murray is per-
vading the entire state.

YOUNG MEN WILL

LIFE OF CRUCE AN INSPIRATION
TO THE YOUNG MEN OF OKLA

The young men Of Carter county be
tween the ages OF IS and 80 will meet
Monday night at the district court
room in this city for the purpose of
organizing a Young Mems Cruce Dem
ocratic club. 1t is estimated that there
will be from 400 to 500 young men of
these ages that will take active mem
bership and work for the success of
the Carter county candidate for gov
ernor from now until the second of
Ausust. lhe life of Lee Cruce is an
inspiration to every young man CT the
state. He began life in log cabin
in the state of Kentucky, worked on
the farm and did labor by the day and
work at his studies in school and
graduated in law. When he arrived
in Ardmore he was without friends
and without money, novice at the
bar and was not equipped to earn
much money. He borrowed $135 which
paid his expense for one year. He
economized until that much money
paid his expenses and after the eXpir-
alton of one year he began to be rec
ognized as a lawyer and cases came
to him which made his practice remun-
eratiVe until he was elected cashier of
the Ardmore National Bank when that
institution was organized. His bust.
ness life is an inspiration to the young
man Of Oklahoma.
All the young men of Carter county
are requested to be at the court house
Monday night.

BURNING STEAMER
WINS DEATH RACE
STEAMER HEADS FOR NEAREST
DOCK AND LANDS SAFELY HER
HUMAN CARGO.

New York, July 6.-The old wooden
three-decker, Grand Republic, a sister
ship of the ill-fated excursion steamer
General Slocum, caught fire Wednes-
day afternoon while passing through
the Narrows on her way to New York
from Far Rockaway and hurried full
steam ahead, with her whistle blowing
a continuous succession of short, ner-
vous blasts and plume of smoke
trailing behind her, for Brooklyn
pier.
Her fcrty-five passengers were all
landed safely and the fire was extin-
guished with $2,50O damage, but there
was great alarm in the city and on the
harbor until the full details We're
known. Everybody remembered how a
little more than six years ago the Slo-
cum caught fire in the East river when
crowded with 1900 pleasure-seekers,
mostly women and children, and was
burned to the waters edge with 93S
drowned, crushed or baked alive. To-
day. as then, fire started in the galley
and spread quickly through the wooden
superstructure. There was no panic.
The women were badly frightened bit
the crew had no trouble in keeping
them in hand, and the children were
so pleased with the music of the band,
which was playing brayely through the
dash to the shore, that they never knew
their danger.
The calls for aid from the Grand Re
public brought fire boats, tugs, steam
ers and a Brooklyn fire engine to the
pier, and the passengers were quickly
put ashore and the fire extinguished.

Reclamation Work.

Beverly, Mass, July 6.-The re-or-
ganization of the reclamation service
was discussed today at a 3-hour con
ference here between President Taft
and Secretary Balin-er Although no
official information could be obtained,
ii was reported that the future plans
for reclamation work d. not include
the retention of Frederick II. Newell
as the director of that service.
Mr.. Ballinger would not discuss this
phase in any way. 1t is known, how.
ever, that the secretary has long
regarded Mr.. Newell as inimical to
his plans for the reclamation service.
Mr.. Newell has openly opposed Mr.
Ballinger and Mr. Ballinger in turn
has publicly said he did not regard
Mr.. Newell as the man for the place
occupied by him Just when and how
Mr.. Newell is going could not be
learned.
After he had lunched and conferred
with the president, Mr.. Ballinger was
told of later rumor that he would
resign after the special congressional
Investigating committee had made its
report. The only suggestion of resig.
nation that came in reply was in the
secretarys smile.
81 am in this fight, and am going
