Find Peculiar Fossils.

The geological survey at Norman
is attempting to carry on a number
of lines of work, the chief object. OF
course, being the development of the
mineral resources of the state: but
at the same time Mr. Gould is so
much of a scientist that he never
fails 10 make collections of queer and
rare specimens from different parts
of the state. During the Christmas
holidays, Mr.. c. l.. Snider. assistant
director of the survey. made trip
into Marshall county and found near
Woodville a number of very peculiar
fossils. This region was evidently
at one time an ancient sea bed,
where a great number of animals
lived, and their bones and shells have
been preserved in the rocks.
The finest specimens found. how
ever, were some large fossils or
shells, known as ammonites. The
time when crustaceous rocks were
being laid down the animals which
formed these shells lived in great
numbers, swimming about in long
gone prehistoric seas.
Professor Gould says that the near
est modern relative OF the ammonite
is the chambered nautils, so ably de-
scribed in one of Oliver Wendell
Holmes poems. This animal now
lives in tropical waters. Another
animal of the same type OF life is
the octopus squid, or devil fish, which
lives in various warm ocean waters
today.
The largest ammonite so far found
in the world comes from Europe.
There is cast in Washington OF a
specimen nearly five feet in di-
ameter. Some very large forms have
been found near the Black Hills in
Dakota and Wyoming.

CARTER INTRODUCES LAND BILL IN
HOUSE: DISPOSAL SEGREGATED LAND

ton.
jS) Lessees are exempted from
damages from the subsidence of the
surface caused by the removal Of
all the coal and asphalt deposits, or
for not leaving coal or artificial sup
potts under the lands; lessees, how
sulting from lack of due care and
prudence in the prosecution of min
ing operations.
90 Secretary of the interior is au-
thorized to sell surface and minerals
together where conditions are such as
to make such sale advantageous. This
section, however, shall not apply to
leased land from which the coal and
asphalt has been mined.
0O) Secretary of the interior is
empowered to set aside such portions
of the surface of unleased tracts as
he may deem necessary for future
mining operations, and the purchaser
of the deposits under such tracts shall
have the preferential right to purchase
the reserved surface at its appraised
value
GD Fifty thousand dollars is car
ried by the bill to meet the expenses
of advertising the sale of the ap-
praisal and incidental expenditures.
Changes Looked For.
There are several sections of the
bill that may be materially changed
before they run the gauntlet of the
two houses. This seems to be true
of those sections which would enable
coal prospectors to run amuck on the
surface without guarantee to ade-
quate compensation to the settlers.
Provision is made for the payment
for the surface actually used for the
conduct of mining operations, but none
for damages resulting from prospect
ing. If the bill becomes a law, the
settler must also consent to permit
the coal operators to maui through his
land from other lands without com
pensation. These are some of the
features that are given grave con
Germ and eventually may endanger
the passage of the bill because there
seems to be little or no disposition
upon the part of the coal operators
to recede from the position that they
should be made to shoulder damages
due to subsistence, trespass and pros
pecting work.
The bill as recently drawn is the
work of many months and many con
ferenCes between the tribal author
tiles and coal operators 1t met with
its inception last October. but was
not contemplated until Friday. II was
stated Friday by W. II. Fuller, Of
McAlester, who represents the towns
in the segregated coal belt, that it
is the best bill that ever was agreed
upon by the different contending
forces in the two nations
Despite some of the opposition. the
measure will receive from some quar-
ters a determined effort to secure its
passage, if not in its original. then
a modified form.

Revival. Over.

The Bulgin revival meetings
closed in this city last Sunday.
Bulgin did a lot of good here, as
he has wherever he has held
meetings. While of course there
is a wide diversity of opinion as
to the holding of big revival
meetings, let no man speak words
which are calculated to cause
discOrd or undo the good things
which are done at these meetings.
In other words Judge not that
ye be not judged" Remember
that every fellow is entitled to
his own ideas, and let US hope
that no matter what your ideas
may be they will in no wise de-
tract from the good results ac-
[complished.
The new Polster building,
where the meetings were held,
was an ideal place for the meet
ing. 1t is big, comfortable, and
was we'll lighted and heated.
The acoustic properties Of the
building were all that could be
desired.
Messrs. Bulgin and Rose went
from here to Little Rock, Ark,
where a big revival is to be held.
Little Rock is the home of Sena.
tor JEFF Davis, who skOke at the
Big Reunion 4 couple of years
ago.
And speaking of Rose we want
to say this: His singing was
one of the interesting features of
the big meeting here. Many
people say he was the best singer
they ever heard: And singing
is the keynote to the success of
any big revival meeting.

A Bad Storm.
Last Wednesday Evenings Storm
Causes Thousands Of Dollars
Damage.

The storm which struck this
section of country last Wednes-
day evening did damage to the
amount of many thousands OF
dollars, and caused injuries to =
great many people. 1t seemed
to strike first just southwest Of
Melrose, where J. R. Headley
lives. The house and barn were
wrecked, and Mr.. Headley and
son were injured, Mr.. Headley
quite badly. On toward MelrOse
the storm swept, and much dam"
age did it do. In Melrose small
buildings suffered badly. At
this point the storm seemed to
veer a little more to the east,
striking the farms of G. W. and
]. NJ. Roper, where the houses
and barns and other outbuildings
were wrecked. At L. A. John
sons the house was blown to
pieces, and Center school house
and church were scattered all
over the country. Henry Lows
house was blown to pieces, and
from there the storm went on to
the VIM. Miller place, where the
barn was wrecked and some of
Mr.. Miller's stock killed. Geo.
Mitchelson's place was wrecked,
as was also the place of w. S.
Wing. From there the storm
kept in an easterly directions
toward Galena and Joplin, the.
west and north parts of which
suffered considerably.
The width of country devas-
tated was about one-fourth of a
mile in width, and the wreck
was complete. Trees, both in
orchards and yards were leveled
to the ground, and all outbuild.
ings in the path of the tornado
were wiped off the face of the
earth.
The damage done will run in-
to the thousands, and in the face
of all this there was no one killed
in this county. Over in Jasper
county one woman was killed,
and about twenty persons were
injured.
People in this city viewed the
clouds with a great deal of ap"
prehension, but the wind here
was not strong. The roar of
the storm was plainly heard here,
however.
