THE WAR AT A
GLANCE

Field Marshal Kitchener. the Brit
ish secretary of war, and several
members of his staff, have been lost
at sea off the Orkney islands by the
sinking of the British cruiser llamp-
shire on which Earl Kitchener was
making "A voyage to Russia on spe-
cial mission to Emperor Nicholas
and probably also with the intention
OF visiting the battle front in Rus
sia, where the great offensive against
the Teutonic allies has been begun
by the Russians.
so far as has been asccrtaincd
there were no survivors of the dis
aster and it seems probable that be-
tween two hunderd and three hun
dred men met their death when the
Hampshire either struck a mine or
was torpedoed.
From the Pripet river southwark
to the Rumanian frontier the Rus
slams, according TO Pctrograd, are
continuing to develop successes
against the Germans and Austrians.
In the fights along this front of
some $50 miles the Russians already
have made prisoners of 4S0 officers
and more than twenty-five thousand
men and captured 20 guns and more
/ than fifty machine guns. This Of
! fensive is declared to be a carefully
co-ordinated movement and the Rus
slams are said to have "a plentiful
supply OF ammunition and men. With
| the roads now in good condition their
maneuvers are expected to develop
swiftly. The number of the Teu-
tonic pllies facing the Russians is
reported to amount to about six
hundred thousand men.
Since the repulse Of two German
infantry attacks between Fort Vaux
and Damloup Monday night the
| fighting in the Verdun region has
again developed into artillery duels
with the Fort Naux- Damloup sector
the center of the greatest violence.
No material gains for either side are
reported.
The Austrians still are being held
from further advances and with
heavy losses by the Italians, accord
! ing TO Rome. In the Naldarsa and
Pa.subio sectors, and on the front be-
tween the Posina and Astico rivers
vicious Austrian attacks have been
put down and the Italians have
gained some ground against the Aus
trians on the western slopes OF Monte
] Cengio.

SUMMER SCHOOL
BEGINS MONDAY
Six Weeks Course to BE Offered for
Students in Elementary
Schools.

In order to provide a means by
which pupils may make up portions
of their regular school work, a sum-
mer school, under direction of the
Tulsa public school system, will be-
gin classes Monday, June IL. The
school will be only for elementary
students, the demand not being great
enough among high school pupils to
warrant offering the course.
The school will be held in the high
school building and will hold classes
six days a week. The classes will
begin at $3.50 O'Clock in the morning
and last until 1890 o'clock, the aft
ernoon being avoided on account of
the warm weather. The school will
last six weeks. A tuition will be
charged.
Miss Kate Moran and Miss Laura
Gregory have been retained as teach
ers for the school and others will
be added if the enrollments justifies
such addition.
The school is designed especially
for pupils who have failed to pass
some of their subjects in the regular
public schools and wish to make the
work up during the summer. Pupils
will be admitted only on recommen-
dation of the principal Of their
school. Work taken in the summer
school will count as a semesters
work in the regular system.

FAIR ASSN. BUYS
DRY FARMING SITE
Indebtedness of $1,000 Will
Be Assumed by Group
of Boosters.

Yesterday afternoon the county
commissioners sold the dry farming
congrcss grounds to the Tulsa Fair
grounds association. "A private cor
poration composed of Tulsa boosters
and organized for the purpose ol
clearing up the debts against the
grounds so that they may be returned
to the people as IA public fairgrounds
The consideration was S2.235.
To assure that there will be no pri-
vate profit in the deal, 81 per cent
of the stock of the corporation is to
be placed in the hands OF County
Judge Ramsay as trustee for Tulsa
county
Newt Graham, secretary of the Fair
association, and W. A. Rayson, pres
idcnt. have been engineering the deal
and have undertaken the task Of clear
ing up the debt
The next step will be the purchase
of the kafir corn palace. Arrange
ncnts have been made for this and
its sale will be completed within the
nert few days. After that the other
five buildings comprising the dry
farming congress group Will be ac-
CURED.
The total debt against the grounds
VIII be around $1,000, a portion of
which is already in the bank. It Is
thought that the debt can be paid
off within the next three years, after
which the people OF Tulsa county viii
own the finest fairgrounds and build
ings i'm the state, as the private com
pany has agreed to turn over all the
stock as soon as the debts are paid.
These buildings are to be the home
of the Tulsa County Free fair. Under
the state fair bill Tulsa county holds
a free iair each year No admission
is charged, neither is there any price
on exhibit space, as all expenses are
paid by the state. Last year the fair
exhibits filled about all but one
building. This year it viii be neces-
saiv to provide space in all the build
ings, according TO Newt Graham.

Indications Are Now That

HICAGO, June 6.-The Repubn-
" can and the Progressive national
conventions both assemble tomorrow
without any indication that the lead
ers have found the common ground
on which they had hoped to estab-
lish unity. Three days of almost
constant conferences have failed to
bring the Republicans .nd the Pro-
gressves to an agreement on a man
for the presidential nomination. A
half dozen names, any one of which is
acceptable to the Republicans, have
been rejected by the Progressives,
who have proposed no one but Colo
mel Roosevelt.
Not since the party was born has
there been such a lack of cohesive
leadership among the Republicans
and the oldest convention observers
declare they never have seen such a
general lack of enthusiasm. There
never has been convention for which
so little had been arranged before
hand. They plunge into their work
tomorrow with practically everything
undone which hitherto has been done
for them in the inner councils OF
the leaders.
