DISGRACE TO NATION
rGate CITY Leased Wire Service !

[Gate City Leased Wire Service.]
NEW YORK, Sept. IA verbal
knockout blow was landed on the
point of the moral chin of New York
tonight by Oklahoma, in the person
of Governor Lee Cruce, who denounc.
ed the Flynn-Morris prize fight as a
disgrace to the nation.
The people in New York regard
us in Oklahoma as colony of out
lays and cowboys. But neither that
fight nor a hundred other things
which New York winks at would be
tolerated for an instant in Oklahoma.
Il am told that the state is in a
sort Of partnership under this Fraw-
ley law with the promoters of these
disgraceful exhibitions, which pay
over five per cent of their gross re-
ceipts. 1t is this same foul partner
ship that in too many of our Ameri-
can cities license disorderly houses
and for certain gain to the authori-
ties allow the great and ever increas-
ing number of human sacrifices among
the inmates of such places.
oklahoma may be on the frontier
and in many respects may be rough,
but thank God. the men of Oklahoma
would never sit through such a
slaughter which was allowed to go
on last night
Governor Cruce. prevented the pro.
motors from holding the Flynn-Morris
/ fight in Oklahoma.

Smoke Pours Out.
Another Strange ThInu.

Another strange thing is the hun
dreds Of dead fish which are seen in
one spot of the Des Moines river. At
a certain point about 600 yards up
the river from the bridge, dead fish
can be seen floating on the surface
and close to shore there is a bit of
angry water as though bubbling
spring was located On the river bot
tom At this point the water is much
warmer than at any other point and
it has most peculiar taste, rather
oily and bitter.
This is undoubtedly caused by a
fissure in the earth which comes up
to the river bottom and marks one
of the danger points, for If this ifs.
sure widens and permits the water
from the river to flow down into the
earth, when the water reaches the
mass of fire, there will be big ex.
posion which will tear open the hill
and permit the lava to start flowing.

Mr.. Smitch may have the correct

hoped, however. that the rumblings
will cease and that the Keokuk vol.

Becoming Alarmed.

The residents in the vicinity have
already become somewhat alarmed
over the prospects, but as yet none OF
the families have moved.
That the volcano is becoming more
active was easily proven by the in
vestigating party, which, by means of
set of skipographs, found the quiv-
ering of the hill to have increased
SO points on Friday over Thursday,
and Saturday morning the skipographs
noted still further mark Of 81 more
points.
The flow of gas had increased also,

one fissure showing % cubic cent?
pedes more per day than the day be-
fore.
The smoke was more intense Sat
urday morning than it was Friday
afternoon, and three more dead fish
were counted than on the first inspec-
ton.
Enoch Gooseberry, a prosperous
farmer Of the vicinity, intends to
move tomorrow If there is not lull
in the rumblings and Jasper Oatcake
is making plans to leave next week.
These two men live nearest the vol
cano, and are becoming much alarm
ed at conditions.

Here is a skeptIc.

Hosmer Smitch. another farmer Of
the vicinity SCOTS at the idea of the
volcano becoming dangerous. He
has lived in that section for forty
years and says that the volcano is
acting now, just as it does every
time there is disturbance in Sicily.
He is not alarmed at all and does not
intend to move.
He recalls the fact that when San
Francisco was wrecked b. the earth
quake, and when the island of Jiggle-
fax was destroyed seven years ago,
the little hill at the mouth of the Des
Moines carried on at great rate.
'All poppycop," he said, when asked
for his opinion. Il have no doubt
that yonder hill was once smoking,

A Boys Fame.

There was boy once who could
climb tree like a squirrel, swim like
q fish, make a fiat stone skip across
the bosom of the pond, could crack the
biggest nuts with his teeth, had the
blacklist hands at walnut time, could
stay under water the longest, could
smoke more dried sunhoWer leaves
and carry more things in his breeches
pocket held up by one suspender than
any boy in the gang: but there was
one thing that he could do that made
him the envied of all enviers, the most
prominent of all the lads, and that
was he could put two fingers in his
mouth and whistle a note so shrill
that it would drive all the dogs off
the street
To this day this accomplishment lin
gers in the mind as most heroic
memory. How the boys wished they
could do thatI How they failed or
produced only a gully sputter that was
ridiculous in contrast with that boy s
clear, whistle. He is as conspicuous
in the far-gone past as circus come
to town or the roar of cannon on a
Fourth of July morning.
We can see him yet, in that same
old trousers with one gallows, that
tattered cap and that mouth full of
licorice But we saw him again last
year, in. a court, on the bench. He is
a judge now, learned, dignified and
solemn. AS We. saw him, in a way
