OKLAHOMA OUTLINES.

It is too bad Harvey can't vote. He
could do it so correctly.
Delegate Harvey didn't have any COM
bines to get away with.
The capitol question is a very good one
to read the answer of in the stars.
The alliance in Oklahoma a shadow cast
before. But the country didn't see 1t.
If all reports were true in Oklahoma last
Tuesday, three congressman were elected.
Now the first delegate to congress from
Oklahoma is a republican, there is nothing
in the road of Mrs. Rocks history.
VIM. J. Grant has retired from his paper
the FL Reno Herald, having leased it to NJ.
l.. Grove, formerly of the FL Reno Eagle.
Miss Diehl, the daughter of the Peoples
party candidate for delegate, made speech
es for her father. But that didn't defeat
Harvey.
The farmers in the neighborhOOd of the
murdered men, near Oklahoma City, Swift
ger and Webster, have raised fund of s.,
coo to be offered as a reward for the appre-
hension of the murderers. One man gave
a span of mules.
The petit jury in the district court. at
Oklahoma City, was discharged Monday
night until November II. Until that date
the time of the court will be taken up in
hearing motions, trying cases which do
not have to go to jury. and in other rOu-
tine work When the court reconvenes on
the nth, the jury cases will be taken mp
and disposed of as rapidly as possible, and
Judge Clark gave notice that he would
postpone the term of court at Norman
which was to be held in December, until
all the business is disposed of in this court.
There will be several murder cases decided
before the end of the session.
GENERAL MILES INTERVIEWED.
General Miles. the worlds fair commits
sioner of Oklahoma said in an interview
yesterday: Yes, sir, we have now the
requisite number of names of ArapahOes
and Cheyennes agreeing to take their
lands in severaly."
This then finishes the work of the Indian
commission at Darlington.
mo, it is thought best that ad-
ditional names from each separate band
may be secured to avoid future objection
and obstruction that might proceed from
them"
What is the procedure after this
"Well, first, the next session of congress,
beyond doubt or preadventure, will pass
the enactment providing for the allotment
of these lands Then. if a rustling allot-
ment agent is secured, the lands will be
thrown open TO settlement the first of next
April"
You hear. General Miles, a great deal
about the mistake of opening a new agri-
cultural country in the spring of the year.
This schedule of yours implies a denial Of
such.
You forget that twenty-five days in the
spring of the year is long time to a fam
err"
How will the Indians take their lands'
in blocks or in grOupes. One body con
sisting one hundred families will settle at
4 l. IL.
third on the Canadian. and the last, which
will be the largest, will be situated on the
Washita."
What effect will the opening of these
lands have on the political complexion Of
Oklahoma
IF the Cheyenne lands are opened be
fore the OtOe and other reservation on the
SOUTH it will make Oklahoma overwhelm-
ingly Republican, with due respect TO the
power of the Farmers Alliance. MOdesty
prevents me from SAY ing what 1t viii DO
