guson, was seriously burned Tuesday
night by the explosion of gasoline
fumes in the drying room of the Uni
yersity Dry Cleaning Company, 61S
Jefferson street, of which he is one
of the proprietors. He had Just
opened the door Of the drying room
when the explosion occurred, and he
was completely enveloped in flames.
He managed to stagger out of the
room, but was both painfully and seri-
ously burned about the arms and
face. He was taken to the City Hos
pital, where his wounds were dressed.
The blaze which burned young Fer
guson set fire to the house and an
alarm was turned in from Box Al.
The firemen were able to hold the
blaze in check easily, and the damage
did not amount to over $500.
Mr. Harry Wright, the senior part
ner in the business and who also con-
duets a dry cleaning establishment on
Church street, was called and was
soon on the scene. Every possible at
tention was first given to young Fer
guson, after which the clothing that
was not destroyed was taken by Mr..

Jubilee Day was appropriately cele.

a great number of Fisk graduates and
citizens in general.

"Forty-siX years ago while the smoke

gentle sympathy of those who save

to be a conflict of decades, not of

ignorance and superstition, not against
opposing armies of Confederates.

MADE FOR THE BACK DOOR

Last week, so rumor has it, in
front of a Little Rock picture
show the patrons Of The perform
ance noticed a man with a
double-barrel shot gun standing
beside the entrance to the thea
ter. Most of h e patrons
thought it was merely ar adYer-
Using stunt and paid no atten-
ton to him, but finally some one
toldithe manager of the show.
The manager stepped ontside and
Intercepted him as to his inten-
ton. Well, g" replied the man,
its none of your business, but
as you!iwill soon find out any
way, I'll tell you. There is a
man in there with my wife, and
whenSthey come out I'm going to
get him. % I've got both barrels
loaded land what | am going to
do toithat guy will be a plenty.
The show man went up IN the
air. He tried to dissuade the
man from his purpose, but with
out avail, for he continued to
state his intention of taking re-
venge. The manager did not
want to cause a scene in front OF
his show, but he disliked to have
any of his patrons shot, so he
did the only logical thing left to
do. He went inside and got o.
the stage and exclaimed the in
tention of the man with the gun.
Concluding he said: Now, the
show is almost over and if the
man referred tots in the audience
| would suggest that he step
quickly out at the stage door and
avert a possible tragedy. 1t is
asserted that before he had fin
ished fifteen men arose and made
a wild and simultaneous break
for the back door.

DOCTORS OF HEALTH

We need more doctors of public
|ealth than mere doctors of medi-
ine, in the opinion of DR.. F. B.
}resslar, whose bulletin "The Duty
the State in Medical Inspection
fSchools," is issued by the United
Bates bureau of education. Dr.
p'esslar pleads earnestly for the
lind of medical inspection that
feks to promote health rather
hanthat which hunts for ill-health.
Our system of paying doctors to
something for US when we are
lex ought to be largely discarded
a the Chinese system of paying
hem to keep US from getting SICK
says.
Dr. Dresslar justi6es the states
l'ervention in the health of its
['lzens on broad grounds of pub
policy. He feels that the COM
unity has as much right to de-
land good health in it's children
II has to demand that they at
'pd school; as much right to pre-
ave the community against the
0asaglon of disease and bodily
Slect as against the contagion of
enorance. The chief asset of any
ave Is physical stamina, guided
wholesome, moral ideals, and
oad-minded intellectual power,

leaical inspection and health sup
vision are indispensable agencies
conserving this asset.-Pueblo

Have the people of the state of
Colorado the right to use the
waters of the Laramie, the Rio
Grande and the Arkansas rivers
for storage and irrigation? This
question is answered in the affirm
alive by Gov. Shafroth who says
that as soon as he takes his seat
in the United States Senate he
will make fight for states rights
in the matter. The federal service
has shut off the San Luis valley
irrigation project, asserting that
the waters of the Rio Grande shall
not be used in this state, but shall
be used to fill reservoirs such as
the Engle dam. To the ordinary
citizen it appears that the state
where the rivers are born" is en-
titled to some consideration. The
sources of the Rio Grande, the

are in Colorado.

TELLS CONDITIONS OF
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
SECRETARY OF COMMERCIAL
CLUB IN OKLA. CITY SAYS
MANY LAWS NEED REVISING.

In discussing the plan recently i'll
augurated by the Chamber of Com
merce in Oklahoma City for state
wide campaign of publicity and edu-
cation regarding some of The laws of
the state and the need for adjust
ment and change, among other
things Walter b. Moore, the secre-
tary-manager OF the Oklahoma City
Chamber of Commerce, had the fol-
lowing to say relative TO road condi-
tions: SkF M1D
Look at the condition OF the roads
of this state. There are practically
no good roads. AT present the state
highway department is handicapped
in every conceivable way. Most OF
the employees are working without
any assurance of receiving their sal
aries. Practically all of the money
in every county of the state derived
from taxes for the purpose OF proyi-
dina good roads is expended eNtraV-
agantly and wasted to great de.
gree in the salaries paid 10 the town
ship overseers as provided by the
law. Very little, if any, money ap-
prOpriated for good roads is used 9th
er than in the payment of the Sala-
ries and expenses of the township
overseerS
The Oklahoma City Chamber of
Commerce is strong believer in
good roads and is cooperating with
the state highway department TO the
fullest extent to see that Oklahoma
builds her share of good roads in the
very near future TO this end a COM
mittee has been appointed to work
in conjunction with the state hi.h-
way department and assist it in ev-
cry way, not only locally but to cor
rect the laws detrimental to the
states good in this respect.
Many other laws too numerous to
mention are today handicapping this
state to such an extent as TO be al
most beyond comprehension. Why
has something not been done before?
| Because the people have never been
| brought to realization of the exist
ing conditions and things that Mere
secretly operating against them.
The Oklahoma City Chamber of
| Commerce has initiated movement
for state organization of represen-
| tatives from all the commercial or
| carnations of the state which will
meet in Oklahoma City within the
next forty DAYS. II is hoped TO have
at least 500 prominent people Of the
state in attendace at that convention.

SEvELTS THIRD TERM.

Washington, Feb 2S.--President
Taft tonight heard Senator Bailey OF
Texas denounce Theodore Roose-
velts third term ambitions and saw
GoO members of the University club
rise to their feet from score of ban
quet tables and stand several min
utes applaudng the utt"rance.
Senator Bailey declared that IF
the president is not a good enough
republican to succeed himself, he
must be a good enough democrat TO
do So He iokingly invited the pres
ident in case of failure at the chi
cago convention to enter the demo
cratic party.
The president confined his speech
to the value of university training.
He laughlngly asked Senator Bailey
TO tell him which branch of The dem
Ocratic party he would be received in
but made no other political reference
except to Chide his hearers for their
applause of political remarks.
Sesator Bailey began his speech
with a defense of the constitution.
without intending to be offensive,
he said I think that George Washing
ton and Alexander Hamilton and
Madison were better qualified to es-
tablish a government than la Foil
ette or Bob Owen
He didn't say anything about
Theodore" broke in a voice and lots
of laughter swept through the room.
Senator Bailey said the university
man had a distinct duty TO perform N

verse political tendencies. He sug-

the agitation will carry with it plans
