SCHOOL AFFAIRS OF CITY
ARE ABLY ADMINISTERED

When the Old territorial school
board and city council turned over
20 the present board Of education the
affairs OF the public schools on May
isl, 1908, there was not one dollar in
the treasury except the sinking fund.
On the contrary there were outstand-
ing warrants and claims against the
board amounting to $1O.297l7. There
was only S5.54S.2S in the sinking
fund. The board now has in the
sinking fund, after paying all inter
est accrued on the bonds, the sum Of
s3i,47S 6g This money is deposited
on interest as follows
Oklahoma National Bank $lD,S72.S2,
First National Bank sG,s72.59, Chick
asha National Bank $G.SC6.64 and
Farmers State Bank s6,s66,64. Not
one dollar ot taxes levied for the sink
ing and interest fund in the last three
years has ever been used Tor any
other purpose The interest on the
bonds amounts to $7,75OOO per an
num-
Out Of tile general tax levy, in adj
dition to paying the teachers salaries,
running expenses Of the schools and
over $1,000 a year taxes for paving,
grading and sewers the board has
oyerhauled and modernized all the
school buildings They have been re-
paired and cleaned throughout. Sani-

The Chickasha schools have the best

the board exaets the best services.
Teachers not coming up to the stand
and after trial or not strictly com
plying with the rules Of the board are
promptly dropped regardless Of any
Iother consideration
There are no unpaid claims against
the board and yet in the face Of all
these facts the levy for school pur.
poses in Chickasha is less than in ary
other city Of its size in the state.
less even than in many OF the rural
districts in Grady county.
Within the last three years also the
magnificent high school has been
built, while Of course, was paid for BY
a bond issue This splendid business
management Of the schools has not
cost the taxpayers one dollar for graft
or compensation to the members Of
the board for their services.

Victory With FederaIs.

Mexican insurrection was fought in
tie state Of Sonora and ended after
Two days stubborn fighting begun
Monday near the towns OF Ures and
San Rafael Although the insurrectos
outnumbered the federal forces, their
ammunition became exhausted in the
continued engagement while the fed
erals were able to obtain reinforce
ments and additional ammunition from
Hermossillo and the insurrectos were
compelled to abandon the fight. All
though the loss on both sides was
heavy, reports Of the killed and
wounded have been greatly exaggerat-
ed and it is now known that not more
than 100 were killed on both sides.
The report that the federals had
gained decisive victory III ne first
daps fighting was issued by Mexican
authorities, has beer denied by nail
advices from HermosilIo, however
The movements of the insurrecto
force after the battle are unknown A
rumor that they had captured he

WAS no fighting in the town Of Ures,

Oklahoma City. April Decided
Improvement in the condition Of win
ter wheat, which, however, still is be-
low the average, is shown by The
monthly crop bulletin OF the state
board Of agriculture. issued Friday.
The bulletin also shows that the acre

dition also is improving, but that tie
pi iospects for frmt crop this year
are very doubtful
The board finds from the reports of
s44 crop correspondents, covering all
Of the rs counties in the state, that
IN March %, 1911 the growing condi-
n ton Of winter wheat was SAC per cent,
compared with 491 per cent last
month and 92.5 per cent for March 25,
ls1O.
The report indicates that very little
damage has been done to the crop by
green bugs and other insects except
ir Cherokee county, near Tahlequah,
where the damage occurred in one
township Is 25 per cent The green
bug is reported in Mayes, Carter,
johnson, Pottawatomie and Conan.
che counties. Although the green bug
infestation seems to be general in
eastern Oklahoma, no serious dam
age to wheat or oats is anticipated as
the state experts have the insects I'M
der control.
The growing conditions for the rs
counties considered as the wheat

which is 4 per cent above the state
average and 12.2 per cent better than
the condition reported last month for
these same counties Since these
counties control the wheat production
Of the state this must be considered
as the true basis Of growing wheat

 pr. Brown stated yesterday morning that Minnie got 2 solar plexus, but that he did not think Doris, had he been so inclined, could have delivered blow of such telling force at such cl1se quarters and he is inclined to think that either Doris shoulder or elbow struck in the pit of the troop er's stomach when they went to the mat. Dr. Brown stated that the effect was the worst he had ever seen from such blow, even if deliberately given.
 That the blow had been a severe one was evidencel by the lines cf pain in Minnie's face as he was led to his corner and by his bloated face, caused from inability to breathe. He was for going on with the match but he was finally convinced of the futility and danger of returning. Conscious of the fact that his comrades had backed him to win, Minnie sobbed as he con sented to give the match to Doris.
 The match started at 1047 o'clock. Minnie seemed inclined to mix matters with Doris at the outset, but the lat ter played safe and cautious as he did in his previous match with the troop. cd. In three minutes after they shook hands in the center of the mat, Min. nie back tripped Doris and floored him but after one minute of mat-wrig-

HUSSEA RESITANT
 ABOUT RETURN MATCH

No recent developments have oc- cured in the attempt 10 arrange a return match between Al Ketchel and Ed Hussen. Over a week ago the Review published Ketchers challenge to Hussen to wrestle him at catch weights the last of September or the first of October. Hussen's defeat by Varney of Tucson, whom Ketchel dis posed of in straight falls, has taken the edge of of the anticipation Of Bisbee wrestling fans, however, and added to Ketchels reputation as a wrestler. A month ago such a match would have been the biggest event of the year on the mat, but the psychO- logical moment was allowed to pass.
 In a letter to this department, Illus sen reafiirms the statement that he had not received the articles of agree ment drawn by Al Ketchel when he gave out that statement to the Tomb stone PTospecter. In those articles Ketchel offered to wrestie Hussen for the welterweight title at welterweight, which Husseu would not agree 10. The statement Of iiussen that he had not received any articles from Ketchel was printed in the Pgospector oI Au- gust g and reprinted in the Review August II. In his latest letter, under date Of September 2, Hussen says that he received the articles ten days after he made the statement tc the Pros peetor, or August 19. The editor of this page has Hussen's letter to Al Ketchel acknowledging receipt of the articles and stating his refusal 70 sign them. This letter was dated at Tombstone on August If. Dates are immateriar however, and it is also immaterial as to what point the arti- eies came from. The material point is that Hussen has failed to make good on his promise, given at the end of the match al Tombstone on July I5. that he would give Ketchel re turn match.
 Hussen's statement about dates goes affirmatively so far as this paper ! is concerned, but the articles werC received and they embodied fair pro visions for q weIterweight match and they were not accepted by Hussen.

BISBEE WENT DOWN
 BEFORE THE TROOPERS
Weather Conditions Were Con- tributoy to a Shifting
 of the HonorS

The ex-near-champions of the Pa cihc Coast Rifle league met the Sixth Cavalry rifle team from Fort Huachu- ca Sunday morning at o'clock, met them and were theirs by a score of 694 10 6S9. At the end of the 200-yard match the troopers led by fourteen points, but Hart and Huffman tied the score at their end of the 600-yard range shoot, but the rest of the Bis bee team could not hold the tie or get a lead and were four points behind the army team at the end of the GOO yard shoot,
 The weather conditions were the worst ever seen at the range for the 10Oe-yard shoot. only one of the twelve men scoring above 40. When the last pair of the local team pros trsted themselves on the firing line only GA points were needed to win the match, but the needed points were not forthcoming and the locals lost the match by five points after being in whispering distance of victory. Following were the scores made:

gling both resumed the standing posi-, ton. Doris tried a number of times for Minnie's knee but without success.
 At 11:04 Minnie resoTted to a ruse 10 get Doris to the mat. Grasping the Bisbee man securely back of tho neck he fell backwards, pulling Dor lis with him but his power Of weight was not sufficient to pull his antago- mist over him and the local man landed on top and in the favorable position but a fall was not imminent. At 11.:20 Doris floored the trooper with a back hold and followed it ur with an attempt at a crotch and hall Nelson but the wiggly little trooper got out, without being dangerously near to a fall, in a half minute. Al 11.22 Doris got a double knee hold though an insecure one, and pro g-essed to a doubie-body bold with which he floored the trooper He worked the hold into a crotch and a half Nelson but Minnie used his legs to good effect by scissoring Doris neck and breaking the hold. Neither man could improve his position So they resumed the wrestling position. Al 11.53 Doris got a double body held from front from a knee hold, and hune the trooper to the mat for a knocl ont. the match being awarded to Dor ris.
 The match was repetition cf every mat affair that has been pulled off il
 this part of the country since tht
 game game into favor and unless some one does something to put gin ger into the game it is going to b. felt in the gate receipts. It is no
 usual for a match to go more thai been pulled of here, at Tombston' and many of them at Tucson have g1ne for longer than that without . 1 fall.
