TO Begin DRILLING FOR
OIL within Ten DAYS

Another oil company was or
ganized here Tuesday evening
to develope the oil field on the
north side of the river. Local
men took Sc, 600 of the stock and
the Muskogee capitalists, who
are associated with local men in
developing the south side, took
$4, 600 of the stock.
In a telephone communication
from the Muskogee men Wed
nesday they said the drills
would be here within ten days
to begin work. Two outfits will
be shipped in and drilling begun
on both sides at the same time.
These experienced oil men
have looked over this field care
fully and are so sure there is oil
here that they are willing to
spend over $13, 600 of their mon
ey to drill for it. We will know
in few months what is under
the soil of Franklin county.

Alleged Bigamist
Caught In Ozark.

On last Saturday Hugh Nc
Clellan received telephone
message from Ft. Smith that a
negro calling himself, Will
Hawkins, was supposed to be in
Ozark, and was wanted in Fort
Smith on a charge of bigamy.
Saturday night Mr.. Mcclellan
noticed a strange negro and
after watching his movements
awhile concluded he might be the
one wanted, and arrested him.
The negro at first denied he was
the one wanted, but in jail, con-
fessed that he was the man.
Sunday night an officer came
down from Ft. Smith and took
him away on the night train.

Chautauqua AT New York.

This fall Chautauqua, New
York, is to be the scene of a
gathering probably without
parallel in the history of the
world, occasion being the cele-
bration of the fortieth annivers-
ary of the founding of the
Chautauqua movement The In
ternational Lyceum Association,
composed of one thousand of the
leading platformists, and enter
tainers, and also the bureau
managers, representatives and
committeemen-is joining with
the Chautauqua Institution in
making this affair notable.
Chas. w. Bell of this city, is a
member of the |. l.. A., and ex-

who founded the Chautauqua
movement forty years ago, will
be there, as will a great many
other dignitaries, including re-
representatives. from other nations,
for the Chautauqua movement
has spread its influence through
reading circles and other forms
of work all over the world
England, Russia, Australia. and
Japan. Even South Africa a
few years ago sent out an inquir-
er to make the long journey to
America, and that country now
has a Chautauqua Of its own, full
of eager projects. Sweden also
dispatched a special represent
ative to Chautauqua for official
study of important social move
ments.
And so, early in September,
the eyes of the world will be
turned toward that beautiful spot
on the shore of Lake of Chautau-
qua. The moving picture COM
panies are preparing to have
their camera men present, and
the most important events of the
celebration will be caught by the
picture machines. The Presi=-
dent of the International Lyecum
Association is DR.. William A.
Colledge, of Chicago, formerly
head of the Department of Liter
ature of Armour Institute. He
was also first editor of the Techni

There are now 1000 Chautau-
quas held in America each sum-
mer, and about Is. 900 lyceum
courses in the winter. The In
ternational Lyceum Association
is building not only for higher
standard of platform work, but
is also building for a greater
America and a greater race that
shall carry the gospel of etiici-
ency and morality and service
throughout the world.

Donald, of FL Reno. chairman of the
state progressive committee, was fin
ally cleared of the charge of killing
f. T. Marsh in Ell Reno in November,
1872, in an opinion by the criminal
court of appeals Saturday morning.
At his trial in the lower court Nc
Donald entered a plea of guilty o.
manslaughter in the second degree
and was fined $50 by District Judge
John j. Carney. The fine was assess
ed by the court over the objection OF
the county attorney of Canadian coun=
ty, who contended that Mcdonald
should be tried before jury on the
charge OF murder and appealed to the
criminal court for an order directing
McDonald's trial before a jury.
The opinion of the higher court
which was written by Judge Henry Il.
Furman, holds that the lower court
has the power without the consent OF
me presenting attorney, to accept the
plea and fix the fine without inter-
vention by jury.
