Secretary Meyer speaks with pride
of the working of the reorganization
scheme inaugurated by himself and
points to saving of about 100000
in the estimates for the next fiscal
year, Referring to the success of Avi-
ator Eugene Ely in his fight from the
cruiser, Birmingham, the secretary
says that it appears to be practicable
also for an aeroplane to board a ship.
But even if an aerial scout could not
land on a ship from his aeroplane he
could be taken aboard from the water
to make his report and the loss of the
aeroplane would be of no moment. So
he requests an appropriation of $25, 900
to continue the aeroplane experiments.

GREAT CHANGE IN
SOUTHEAST v|N|TA
Plat of South Park Addition Is Filed
And Company is Ready to Begin
Selling Lots.

One of the greatest changes that
has taken place about Vinita at any
time has occurred in the last few weeks
in the southeast portion of the city.
A few weeks ago where the foundry
now stands was a corn field with no
signs of streets or its becoming a resi-
dence section. Excelsior avenue has
now been extended quarter of a mile
east and has fine row Of lots fronting
thereon for the entire distance on each
side. The sidewalks are being laid
and a person who has not visited the
locality for month or two past would
not know their surroundings. The
ground lies with a nice slope to the
south and drains beautifully.
The old ball park has all been clean.
ed up and First and Second streets
have been brought to grade and lots
laid out covering the entire block.
Excelsior avenue will be beautified
by having twenty foot driveway down
each side and a fifteen foot parking in
the center which will be set to trees
and shrubbery A fine entrance way
and circle with a fountain at Elk
celsior and Second street crossings
will be features that will make the ad
dition attractive.
This section will be known as South
Park addition and the DePue City Lot
company who purchased the tract ex
pect to file their plat of the first por
tion of the addition Monday and be
ready to sell lots.
They state that they do not expect
a great demand for lots through the
winter season but are going to make
a specially of selling to parties who
want home sites and will build short

class will do well to call upon them as
they will make prices and terms tha
will interest every one throughout tn,

GORDON EASILY DEFEATS
NOLEN SATURDAY NIGHT

Bart Gordon got Jimmy Nolens goat
in pleasant little ten round boxing
match at the skating rink in Electric
Park last Saturday night From the
second round, it was apparent that
Nolan was hopelessly outclassed. He
wasn't Gordon's equal in reach or
agility or hitting power But Jimmy
put up the best fight he could, and Cor
don didn't let himself go until the
last two rounds. so there was enough
of a scrap for the fans to feel that
they had their moneys worth. Before
the fight began it was announced that
Ed Barnard challenged the winner for
a match within ten days, at $50 side.
Lawyer Sims was the referee. Cor
dons seconds were Fred Woodard, t.
Brown and Jack Kennedy. Will Meeks
was in charge of Nolen's corner. About
100 people were present when the
principals peeled off their overcoats
and shook hands, at ten minutes to ten.
In the first round, it seemed as if
Nolen was going to give Gordon his
moneys worth He landed twice on
Gordon, once heavily on the jaw. In
the second round, he leaped clear
across the ring at the signal, but Cor
don was waiting for him, and wicked
kidney blow made him more cautious.
In the third round Gordon knocked out
one of Nolen's teeth.
From this time on, Nolen fought on
the defensive. His aim seemed to be
to secure draw Gordon was easy,
and in one round the two men kissed
mitts without a blow on either side.
But in the tenth round, Gordon forced
the fighting, pufnmelling Nolen almost
at will while Nolen seemed in an
agony of expectation for the stroke Of
the gong.
When time was called on the last
round, Nolen and Gordon shook hands
before the referee announced his de-
cision. -.

referred in plain terms to a subject of
local interest.
q saw in a local paper the other
day." said Mr.. Davis, IAN article about
a mother who came home from her
club exhibiting proudly vase which
she had won at play. She showed it
to her son, but was Mortified when he
told her that he had just won ten dol
lars in a poker game in the back room
of saloon.
But what difference does it make
what the game is, or whether it is
played in parlor or a saloon? What
is the difference whether you win ten
dollars in cash, or win it in the form
of vase? hope never to see the

Harry Swarts Robbed.

Harry Swartz believes in banks. He
has good reason, for if he had not de-
posted quite bunch of money in one

considerably poorer this morning.
Harry went to bed as usual Saturday
night, leaving his clothes hanging in
the sitting room next to the room
where he sleeps. Sunday morning
Mr.. Houck found Harry's pocketbooks
ON the sidewalk out on South Wilson
street-empty. Some. of our pussy
footed, light-ingered citizens evidently
hadn't seen him go to the bank, and
had paid his rooms visit in the night.

ALMOST BLIZZARD
Cold Rain Of Sunday Turned Into SIeet
And Snow-WeIcomed With Joy
BY Oklahoma Wheat Growers.

Vinita and all northeastern Okla
homa is today in the grasp of the first
snow storm of the winter All day
Sunday cold misty rain fell, and
this morning the wind whipped around
to the north and soon the mercury be-
gan to drop. At first the snow melted
as fast as it fell, but as the tempera-
ture lowered and the fakes came fas-
ter, the ground was soon covered with
the great white blanket of winter. Prob
ably two inches of snow had fallen at
three o'clock this afternoon, and the
only indication of cessation was the
statement of the weather man that to-
night and Tuesday would be generally
fair.
On account of the protracted drouth,
the snow storm today was welcome,
especially to the farmers, who have
sown a large acreage of wheat, which
lit is said, was beginning to feel the
need of moisture, very badly

DEATH BOARDS.
Curious Custom That Prevails In East
ern Bavaria.

OQSLOfn nat FrGV6llS IN East
ern Bavaria.
IN the eastern half of Bavaria, says
writer in the Wide World Magazine.
on the borders of Bohemia. lies the so
called Bavarian forest This part of
the country. although it boasts beauti-
full scenery. is seldom visited by tour
lists, probably for the reason that the
charms of the region are little known
even in Germany. This part of Bava-
ria has been in many ways untouched
by civilization, and owing to it's seclu-
sion from the outer world some very
strange customs are still in vogue,
strongly reminding one of the middle
ages.
One of these strange customs. strict
ly observed by tie population. is the
way in which they keep alive the
memory of their dead by the erection
Of what are called "totenbretter" or
death boards" These are wooden
planks cut in the shape of tombstones
and roughly painted. Sometimes they
bear also the image of a saint They
are erected-often in a row of thirty
and more-on the roadside, in fields
and meadows, near chapels and cruel
fixes, in the village streets-in short.
everywhere; they are even nailed to
houses and barns.
They do not mark burial places, as
might be supposed. AS soon as a per-
son has died the corpse is put on
board, and there it lies in state until it
is put into the coffin shortly before the
funeral. These boards, then, are the
so called death boards" and after the
funeral they are cut into a suitable
shape and decorated with an inscrip-
ton containing the name of the de-
ceased his age and in most cases
some lines of poetry.
These short poems, which are, of
course, meant in sober earnest, are &C.
caslonally very amusing. The boards
are then stuck somewhere near the
road or in the fields, where they some
times accumulate to an alarming num-
Der. In the poorer districts these
boards are not always cut into shape
and painted, but are simply deposited
just as they are at the foot of some
crucifiX, where they remain untouched
until they molder away.
