FORMER ENGINEER
SEEKS REINSTATEMENT
ALLEGES HE is ENTITLED TO
EMoLUMENTS OF OFFICE IN
QUO WARRANTo PROCEEDINGS.

II. II. Sayre, former city engineer
has brought quo warranto proceed
ings in the district court, in which
he asks that he be reinstated as city
engineer and asks for his salary from
the time he WIS dismissed last April
He denies the right of the city com
mission to dismiss him and alleges
that l.. ]. Myers, the acting city enSr
neer. is drawing his salary without
warrant of law and makes him a de-
fendant in the action with the mayor
and all the commissioners. Mr. Sayre
asks the court to reinstate him as
city engineer.
The suit brings to mind the trou-
BILE in city affairs that arose last
spring when the mayor dismissed the
city engineer Mr.. Sayre at that time
contended that he could not be oust-
ed in that manner and the city allow

commissioners. The hearing was had
and the engineer was represented by
+. A. Walker and the commissioners
by City Attorney J. b. Moore. The
hearing resulted in the dismissal of
the city engineer. An effort was
made to get the matter into court at
that time but Mr.. Sayres attorney
failed in the mandamus proceedings
and now quo warranto proceedings
to oust L. J. Myers and reinstate
Savers have been resorted to and
Mr.. sayre is asking for salary for fun
time. The matter will come up for
hearing at the October term OF the

ansas and Texas. The headquarters S
of the miners are in McAlester.
Not only did the union donate mon
ey. but supplemented Jhis with an of.
fer to make a weekly assessment up
on each member if the situation be
came alarming. Many of the miners
are said to be Starving for want OF
food, and every union in the state
is rushing to their aid 1t is expected
that during the week over 81 600 will
be subscribed and forwarded TO Jne
strikers.
The miners quit work in an effort
to secure a revision of the mine rules
and an increase in pay Of 10 per cent
per ton on coal mined All of the
work is what is known as piece
work." and the men claim that under
the present scale they cannot earn
sufficienJ wages: The coal districts
Of Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas are
suffering from the strike, but Okla.
homa seems to be receiving the brunt.
SO far an attempt at settlement has
been made, but without success. THe
miners claim the operators will I
concede 10 their demands, and the
operators in turn claim that the de.
mands are unreasonable. Althou- h
the situation seems serious, there is
hope expressed that a settlement win
be made when the operators see tnaC
union labor in the S, ate and country is
coming to the aid of the men.
Every local man ought to help,
said Ollie Wilson, secretary OF the ~.
cal union, Sunday. The miners are
demanding a just rate, and the oper-
ators will keep fighting them unul
they see that the struggle is useless
Reports say the men are sadly in
need of clothing and food. The local
union will make a weekly levy if nee
essary although | do not think the
situation at this time warrants such
action.-Oklahoma

SPECIAL ELECTION
HERE TOMORROW
SCHOOL BOARDS NOT ALLOWED
TO MAKE A LEVY OF FIVE
MILLS WITHOUT APPROVAL OF
PEOPLE.

The last legislature passed a law
prohibiting the school boards of Ok
lahoma from making tax levy
greater than five mills for the sup
port of schools Wiehout submitting
the excess levy required to the
voters of the district. These elec-
tions will be held tomorrow, August
9th, in all the school districts of
the state where levy of more than
five mills is required The Ard
more schools require a levy of three
mills in addition to the five mills.
The extra assessment will not make
the taxes for school purposes any
more than they We're last year, but
the reduction in taxable valuations
makes the extra assessment neces-
sary. At this election the women of
the city can vote.
At least thirty per cent of the
people of the district must vote
upon the proposition and a ma
jority of the people voting must vote
for the levy or it cannot be made.
What is said of the Ardmore dis
trict is true of the different dis
tricts of the county and OF every
other county in the state.
There are a number Of districts
in this county which will have cleo
tions tomorrow. The extra assess
ment runs from one mill to ten
mills.
Persons who are interested in the
schools of thee ity should remember
TO vote tomorrow Votes are import
ant because the law requires that
at least thirty per cent of the peo-
pc shall vote. Every parent should
see that his vote is cast and sec
that it is cast for the special levy.
The schools must be taken care of.

NOTED WOMAN OF OLD ROMF
clocia's Salon : rrtar from Wh u
Emanated Dear FtienGs ard
Deadly Enemies.

The salon OF Clodia ON the Pala.
tine and In her villa on the seashore
at Baiae drew together the foremost
politicians, poets and orators OF the
tine-men of the older generation
like Cicero and Matallus, young men
like her brother ClojiGs, the brilliant
aud giraffe tribune, or Cactus, whom
Cicero calls the best informed poll,
tician in Rome" The burning eyes
Of Clodia, which Cicero celebrates In
his fierce attack upon her; her bril-
liant wit, her versatile character, her
skill as a dancer, her abandon and
hohemianism. her Claudian pride and
contempt for popular opinion are all
marks OF that fiery southern tempera
nent which could find no middld
course between love and hate, which
would hesitate for no scruples and BIZ
thwarted by no obstacle
She tired of Catullus and he poured
upon her all the walls Of his wrath and
scorn She failed to ensnare Cicero,
and she avenged herself upon him by
driving him into exile aud taking his
property from him She was Tilted
and laughed at by the once-deyoted
Gaellus, and consequently brought q
charge of attempted murder against
him and almost comprised his ruin
Whether she deserves the abuse which
Catullus heaps upon her in his later
poems, whether she merits the epitaph
of the "three.cent Clytemnestra
which Cactus puts upon her, or Is
the Palatine Medea" whom Cicero
paints her in his defense OF Cactus
