The Oklahoma Shorter, in its last

beautiful lot at the corner of Bull

tent thereon. This lot formerly be-

We are glad to learn that our friend
Dan Bunker has at last come into pos
session of a choice lot. Dan killed the
former claimant with his first shot.
Dan is a rustler, and never does things
by halves.
The report that the ten men found
dead last night on Goosebristle creek

AN ETERNAL RELIC.
The Monumental Pyramid Erected Fifteer
Hundred Years Ago in India.

The Monumental Pyramid Erected Fifteen
Hundred Years Ago in India.
AsOka, believed to be descendant of
the Indian sovereign whose realms were
invaded3by Alexander the Great, be-
came a convert to Buddhism. and in
extending that form of religion en-
acted part analogous to that of Con-
stantine in establishing Christianity.
About 1000 years ago he distributed
morsels of the bones of the saints to
all kings with whom he was in alliance,
and prince in Guzerat resolved that
this relic should last while time en-
dured. He inclosed it in bottle of
gold, and that in casket of silver and
that in vessel of copper, and that in
bowl of baked clay-a substance as
durable as the earth of the woodland
that in Golfer of claystone, and that
in hollow square of sandstone, and
that again in pyramid of brick more
than eighty feet high, and at the base
the same thickness; and finally, as we
understand, description only on this
point obscure, faced the entire struc-
ture with stone blocks. The prince
did not spend all thought and labor
and treasure only to honor his race; he
meant to preserve it as long as India
or time itself should last, and so we'll
did he plan that he succeeded in pre-
serving it for 1900 years.
His dynasty ceased and was even
forgotten, his people changed their
creed and ceased to worship Buddha,
his clearances were abandoned by hui
man beings and the jungle spread its
Obliterating mantle over roads and
plain and pyramid, and still the relic
remained as safe in its golden bottle
rs when the prince placed it there.
And there the British arch4ologist,
Mr.. Campbell, found it only a few
weeks since. the mOrsel of bone uncal-
,ined. the gold of the bottle as bright
as ever, the silver casket only tar
nished, the copper covering only
rusted, the bowl of baked clay UNI
changed, as it would be if left there
till the world cooled, the claystone
Golfer unbroken. the sandstone cavity
lnviolated. the pyramid still resisting
climate and time, and men-whO had

the government to publish the actual
PessOns for these changes. In many In
stsnces they are upon Inspectors reports,
which, IL published, would destroy the fu--
ture Of the man and leave q shadow upon

"Thers has been often much criticism
simply because politics are involved.
When so caused the removal has been for
drunkenness, neglect Of duty, and
clearly proved the unfitness to hold
the important office Of postmaster.
To allow . post aster to serve out bis
