PRAYING BY PROXY.
Western Indians Resort to Old
Tribal Custom to Bring Rain.

Wetumka, Okla, July 13:-Creek
Indians in this vicinity are resorting
to ancient tribal customs in an at
tempt to obtain a rainfall.
One of their customs. which has
been widely followed in the last
week, is to stake mud turtles on the
edge of a stream just far enough
away from the water that they cannot
reach it, 1t is the Indians belief
that the turtles, despairing of their
attempts to reach the water, invoke
the aid of the Great Spirit to send
rain, so that the stream will be raised
and brought to them.
Since the turtles were first staked
out several rains have fallen. The
Indians believe that their prayers
are being answered and they are
fastening up more turtles to pray
for a still greater rainfall.

DR.. L. A. Riser Injuries His Hand
to Save Children from Hurt.

DR. L A Riser left this week for
Baltimore, where he goes to have
his hand treated. About two months
ago, to save some children who were
playing on the sidewalk, from being
run over by a runaway horse, he
dashed in front of the frightened
animal to rescue the children. He
was knocked down and had his left
hand badly broken. For some reason
the injured member has given him
much trouble. DR. Riser is young
man and very popular in Leesville,
and all hope for a speedy recovery.

Dear Mr. Cromer: my ap-
preciative thanks for your letter of

State Board of education will impose
expense and hardship upon the peo-
pie. The enforcement of these poll

have made no charge of venality
or corruption against any man. be-
cause positive proof of venality or
corruption can seldom be adduced in
these instances. The American Book
company will be the beneficiary Of
these revolutionary changes. Two
years ago this company was driven
out of Texas as self-confessed
trust. A fine of $4,000 with cost
was imposed on the company, and
the corporation has been forbidden
to re-enter the State.

fully agree with your thoughtful es-

Minnesota

In the ten games played Minnesota has
scored 152 points. while the Cornhuskers
have scored but IS. In six Of the ten
games the Cornhuskers have failed to
cross their opponents goal line. The VIC
tory in 1902 was attributed TO lack of
training on the part OF the Gophers by
the Minnesota papers, although It seems
reasonable that the northerners simply
met their match.
Just why the Cornhusksrs are so san
guine over the outcome of the game Is
hard to figure out, 1t is. true that the
showing of the Cornhuskers against the
Kearney Normal was very promising as
compared with the low score Of the Min
nesota-south Dakota game, but in the
Coyotes the Gophers bit OFT one Of the
toughest propositions In middle west foot

Although outwelghed al least twelve

school eleven triumphed over the husky
York high school lads by a score OF u
to yesterday afternoon at Rourke
park.
Twice In the last half Omaha crossed
the York goal line with the ball and the
Omaha rooters went wild; but McFar-
land OF York who officiated as umpire,
refused to allow either play to be scored
q touchdown, ruling In one case that
photographer on the field had inter-
fered in the play and in the other that
there had been off-side playing.
Omaha was penalized time and again
their penalties totalling eighty-five yards
against thirty-five for York. Rachman at
left tackle for Omaha was elected from the
field In the fourth quarter for disputing
a decision Of the umpire Both teams
frequently resorted to punting and the
game was marred by much fumbling
Rector outpunted Osborne, York's kicker,
averaging forty-flve yards on his punts.
York Scores First.
The first touchdown came at the be-
ginning Of the second quarter when Froid,
fullback for York. broke away for a
ninety -five-yard run and a touchdown on
fluke play York failed to kick goal.
Neither Of Omaha's touchdowns came I'M
IA the second half and things looked
mighty gloomy for Omaha after the first
two quarters had been finished.
Eggs De Lamatre at left half was
the particular star of the game, although
he did not get in until the second quar-
ter. He brought the crowd to its feet
early In the third quarter, when he re-
ceived the ball on a tumble on York'l
ten-yard line and scored omaha's first
TOUCHDOWN. Bowman at right half and
Rector at fullback also played good
games, Rector making a gain Of from
five to twenty-five yards every time he
was called upon to carry the ball. Bow

touchdown for Omaha in the fourth quar-
ter. The whole team worked all the
