Muskogee, okla, May 2.-One hun
dred thousand dollars damage to the

Five hundred feet of the Muskogee
Traction company's interurban tracks
between here and Fort Gibson are
gone. Farmers are now building
levees in the hope of saving some of
their crops.

be seen today chicken coops, barns,
out-buildinge, bodies Of cattle, pigs and
other live stock.
News received from Tulsa late this

Mistakes Must BE Expected.

Most people go over the same rou-
tine every day. They rise at the same
hour and lie down ct the same hour.
In all that space of time between
their rising up and theiB lying Gown
they are doing familiar things Every
movement they may make is one that
they made yesterday. and the day be-
fore that. There is no excuse, APP
parently. for errors. But every man
who is familiar with Office work, shop
work or any other form Of human en-
deavor knows that there is always q
certain percentage of mistakes to be
expected.

M|LFORD-BERGERS
WIN FIRST GAME
Colts Started Like Winners But Could
Not Stand the Pace After the
Third Round.

With all the interest that marked
the opening of the City League in Vim
ita last July, the second annual sea
son Of that organization began yester-
day afternoon at Electric Park. Tho
opening game was between the Colts
and the d-Bergers and was won
by the latter in the fifth inning of a
good seven inning contest. Both teams
played good strong game, but showed
lack of practice. The hitting on
both sides was lively, the Milford-Ber
gers getting the better of this phase
of The game. Henderson. pilot of the
shoemen, drove one over the righttield
fence for a home run and Hall the harl
hitting left fielder got three two-bag-
gers and single out of four trips 70
the plate
Greahle star HEAVIER of last season
and mainstay of the pedal comforters
started wild but settled down after the
third inning and held the Colts run
less. Billingslea was on the mound
for the yearlings and worked well until
the fifth when lack of practice began
to show and he weakened, allowing
the Milford-B -Bergers to cinch the game.
SteaIer, an Indian relieved Billingslea
in the sixth but could not stave off the
defeat. This afternoon the high school
team will clash with the Bankers and
another good game is anticipated. The
official score yesterday is.

ANOTHER HAT
IN THE RING
Colonel Clarence 3. Douglas Throws
His War Bonnet Into Senatorial
Ring.

Muskogee. Okla, May 2-Heap Big
Chief Coming g-Up-out-of-the-E -East-With-
Whiskers-on-His- Chin is off the reser-
walton on the warpath,
He has thrown mis- war bonnet into
the ring. put on his warpaint, and
hanging the scalps OF past political
battles to his belt is on the hunt for
the scalp of still another, one Dyna-
mite Ed Perry of Coalgate. Oklahoma.
1t was yesterday evening that the
Big Chief tossed in his head feathers.
Tuesday morning he read in the
Phoenix that Ed Perry was out for the
senatorship, seeking Robert l.. Owens
robes of ermine. Heap Big Chief reads
English and writes it too. His Indian
name was given him year or so ago
by a tribe of Red-Men, who thought
him much hot stuff" His real name
is Col. Clarence B. Douglas.
Long did Col Douglas ponder upon
the announcement of Ed Perry's de-
but. Before nightfall yesterday he had
come to the conclusion that Ed Perry
must be defeated, he had searched the
field, scanned it high and low and far
and wide for available material and
had failed to find fitting candidate.
There was, is and can be but one
result born from such reasoning and
|such conchsions--if no one else will
make the race to defeat Perry he must
do it himself
Col Douglas made his announce
ment last night most informally
made it in speaking with reporter Of
the Phoenix. But from what he said
and the way in which he said it these
facts incidental to his casting his hat
into the ring may be accepted.
He will not enter the race with an
overwhelming desire to become a
United States senator from Oklahoma.
He will not make the race pulling any
fof the popular call Of the people"
rought stuff.
He will make it because Ed Perry
must be defeated and because he hon
estly believes he stands a better
chance than the rough-rider of dyna-
mite fame and ballon ascension press
notices.
Col. Douglas is sincere in his an
nouncement. There is none of the
MY friends have been urging me" or
After much mature deliberation" line
of dope in it. He wants to be senator,
he isn't crazy about it, he sees a
chance whereby he can be of service
to his party and his state.
The colonel figures it this way. The
voters of Oklahoma. in their revolt
against the high taxes, the sand and
gravel deal and other scandals, bur
dens and the like placed upon their
shoulders by the democratic party may
and more than likely will, wipe off the
democratic slate and return republi-
can legislature. That will mean re-
publican senator.
And heaven forbid that it be hurrah-
ling, dynamiting and rocket shooting
Ed Perry.

There are times when there arc
bundles Of old papers to be burned.
This Is dangerous In CRATE fire. The
following is the method which will
avert danger Of the chimney catching
fire: Make tight rolls Of all the papers
and fasten them with pieces Of soft
wire--broomstick wire will do. They
win then form kind Of a log and
burn slowly without fame. The
rolls may be made Of any size and
several Of them burnt together.
