George Harris, proprietor of the
Golden Rule, was called to Kansas
City Sunday by a telegram advising
him Of the serious illness OF his son.
Mr.. Harris was right in the midst Of
a closing out sale Of his dry goods de-
partment and while his absence from
his business possibly for several days
is unfortunate, It viii not interfere
with the progress of the sale, since he
has arranged with his assistants to go
right on with the same price reduc-
tons. Mr.. Harris Is sincere in his
purpose to close out this line and the
prices he Is making at this time mean
genuine savings.

The big water fight that has been
in progress at the Usage and Mus
kogce mines west Of Quapaw may be
called Oft at any minute on account
Of lack Of cooperation. At q meeting
Of the officers of the Muskogee Lead
and Zinc company Wednesday II was
agreed that unless there was q dis
position shown by those who are being
benefited by the pumping to kick in
on the expense'it would be advisable
to shut down. When interviewed one
of the officers Of the Muslkogee COM
pany stated that the water could be
beaten If the work could be kept up
a few weeks longer but that his COM
pany refused to be the cats paw in
the case. He said they wanted to go
on but that while there are 16 mines
affected by the pumping there are onI
ly three or four who will halp out on
the expenses. The water fight that is
being waged principally by the I'm
perial Development company, the
Muskogee Lead & Zinc company and
The st. Louis Lead and Zinc Company
has been one of the greatest ever
waged in the field and hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars have been spent
on il. 1t is certain that a number Of
the richest mines in the Quapaw field
will never be worked until the water
is whipped and the officers Of the
companies interested believe that ev-
cry business house and every mining
company interested should help defray
the expenses of the work. The Mus
tog.r laan stated that the most anus
'ng incident OF The water campaign
was u representative Of mining COM
pany, whose mine had been dewatered
going to their office and offering to
sell them his pumps in order that they
might increase the pumping capacity.

The Rashgo Mining Company is the
latest in the Sunnyside field. The new
organization is not so named because
the venture is considered a rash go,
because it is a sure thing for the shaft
had been sunk and lot of work done
by another party and all that was
necessary to do was to sink shallow
holes to find what is thought to be
one of the best lead mines in that sec
ton of the field. The former opera
tors might have been termed rash as
the management sunk without holes
but this one is safe and sane. The
name Rashgo is taken from the first
two letters of the names Of the three
Enid men who make up the company:
W. NJ. Randall, j. II. Shaw and Frank
Godfer. The property of the Rashgo
is located southeast of the Lead Boy
and northeast of the Hawkins. The
shaft is down G6 feet but on account
of being on higher ground, it has been
found that the two drifts which have
been cut by the former operators were
several feet too high and the shaft is
being sunk several feet to the ore.

no wind and the fires in the
wheat died down as soon as the
dry grass was burned out. Till

There was no damage OF any
consequence to anything except
the barn. Sergeant Benedict
and Private Rose looked the
ground over carefully but there
seems to be no evidence pointing
to the guilty party.

DIFFICULTIES OF A DUAL ROLE
Swift Changes by Guy Bates Post
in "The Masuuerader'

Every person who sees THE Mas

the tricks by which Guy Bates Post,
who plays the dual role Of John
Chilcote and John Loder. appears TO
be in two places at one and the same
time. The difficulties arising from the
playing Of the double part are great.
because of the sudden shifts in char
acterization makeup and costume. The
playwright has Hr. Post In a tight box
on two occasions. and 1t takes several
moments for the audience to recover
from the shock Of seeing him In a place
where 1t doesn't seem possible for him
to be.
The first of these occasions Is the
scene in Lady Astrupp's garden. That
suspicious lady has discovered Loder's
scar. on what Is supposed to be Chill
cote's hand. Spy talk is in the air. and
suspicion Is at once aroused. Loder
steps back into the alcove Of the garden
and by accident escapes at the same
time that Chilcote, impersonated by a
nonspeaking player made up to look like
Mr.. Post. enters. The crowd comes into
the alcove and drags the latter forth
through gateway. only to have the
audience of second later sit face to
face with Mr. Post himself
Another swift change comes in the
