One of the most enjoyable entertain
ments of the week was given by the WITCH
tia Literary society in its hall Friday eve
ming. Each number on the program was
well rendered and highly appreciated by
the large audience that filled the hall.
The piano solo by Mrs. Norris called forth
a hearty encore. The paper portraying
the character of Shakesbere's shylock, by
Mrs. Laura Z. Sandifer showed much
skill IN composition and presented well
the money made man. The recitation by
Miss Daisy Ballard was very heartily ap-
plauded. The paper entitled "Woman's
Sphere" by Miss Nellie Amidon contained
many gems Of thought, we'll arranged and
showed that Miss Amidon not only held a
ready pen. but was in thought, abreast of
the times on important questions.
The debate, Resolved, That There
Should be Law Giving Women Equal
Suffrage With Men," created much enthu-
siasm. The affirmative was represented
by Mrs. T. E. Shaffer. and Mr.. H. s. Nc
Micheal. the negative by j. Turnoch and
w Mclaughlin. Nessrs Hass, Keenan,,
Love, Caldwell, Bidwell and Mrs. Sandifer

aurHRIEs ABLE EpucAroR
He Talks on Oklahoml's Schools and the Origin
Of the Chocia w Tribe Of Indians.

| Professor E l. Hallock, Superintendent
OF the public schools of Guthrie aud the
valued correspondent of the EAGLE at the
territorial capital, was in the city last
night and as usual was in the very pink of
cheerfulness. Professor Hallock is a very
bright scholar and one of the most prac-
| tical gentlemen for an educator that one
could find in a years travels. He is well
versed on all the topics of Oklahoma, and
no one knows the territory better than he
does, for he mingles with the people and is
very quick at grasping what they say
Speaking about the educational institu-
tions of Oklahoma the professor said:
1.-The schools of Guthrie have an enroll
ment of LOO. The board Is made up of
representative men. Men who are sue
cesses in the business world. With an
empty treasury. and limited credit they
have established a thoroughly graded
system. The teachers compare favorably
with those of cities in the states. Until
the present time no money has been re-
ceived from taxation. Now be it said to
the credit of the people the taxes are being
paid promptly.
The board is composed OF the following

has been indefaligabie in bringing order
out of chaos.
The Oklahoma University built of red
sandstone is nearing completion. 1t is
expected it will be ready for occupancy in
the fall
Professor Hallock spent few days in
the Choctaw country during last week
aud while there he ascertsined some gen.
orally unknown facts about the origin of
that tribe. He gave the information he
received to the EAGLE man IN the follow
ing language.
Tradition has IL that centuries ago the
Choctaws lived In what Is now known as
Mexico and New Mexico, that they were
the descendants of the AEtecs and were in
a high state of civilization. They were
forced to become warlike by the inoursions
of the northern tribes. Directed by the
Great Spirit they turned eastward, led by
a sacred dog. In crossing the Father of
Waters the dog was drowned. They also
carried pole which pointed eastward.
When they reached Mississippi the pole
stood upright. This they Interpreted to
mean that mere they were to settle In
time they became scattered and a portion
seeded from the tribe and were called by
the Choctaws Chickasaws or rebels. Their
language is very similar to that of the
Choctaws and books printed in Cnoctaw
are easily read by the Chickassws. The
tribe is rapidly becoming extinct, there
being less than one hundred full blOOds
left. The majority of those calling them |
selves Chickasaws are less than one quar-
ter bloods and white men that have been .
given the rights of citizenship and are
called galvanized citizens.

SHOP LIFTING.

Yesterday three tough looking charac-
tiers went into the store OF Buckhoffiser, ON
the West Side, and one of them called for
5 cents worth Of tobacco and gave the pro-
prieter 25 cents which necessitated his WIS.,
ting another part of the store to make the
change. When his back was turned to
them one of the men picked up bolt of
cloth and hid it under his overcoat. Mr.
Buckhoffiser detected the act aud told the
three men that they could not leave the
store as he intended keeping them in Gus
tody until an officer would arrive. They
offered to compromise by giving Mr.. Buck
hOftiser one dollar, but that gentleman re-
fused. Seeing ne was determin-
ed to cause their arrest they
made desperate run and as Mr.. Buck
hoffiser was alone in the store he could
not follow them. When his wife came in
a short while after, he left her in charge
of the store and he came over to inform
the police of the theft. As he came over
he saw the trio on West Douglas avenue
and called the attention Of Officer Snyder
to them. Mr.. Snyder succeeded in captur-
ing two Of them, while the third made his
escape. and they are now In the county
Jail awaiting trial. Both men are well
known in police circles, as they were in
the cooler for a similar offence about
year ago. They seem to be professional
as their coats are so arranged
with large pocket that they can hide a
reasonable amount of goods very easily in
them without being noticed.

A NOVEL ELECTRICAL TEST.

One of the most recent pieces of enter
prise which deserves attention was the
connection Of Wichita with Caldwell last
night. by telephone wire, by which several
citizens Of this city were enabled to hear
two or three choice pieces of music taken
from the Edison photograph which was
located in the drug store of Mayor Harvey
Horner Of the Border Queen. For some
time Manager Chipchase has been arguing
that person may be able to hear the
Marine band of Washington not only
through the recorder of the photograph
but through the telephone, through the
photograph, as well Being in Caldwell
yesterday with Mr. Tewksberry, both
these gentlemen and Mr.. Horner concluded
to make the experimental test and to say
that 1t was a success would not be ade-
Quately expressing it, for the music Of the
band was heard as plainly ID Wichita,
from Caldwell, as it could be if taken
direct from the monograph. How the
test was made was not learned by the
EAGLE man but it was without question a
success and reflects good deal OF credit
on the ability OF Mr.. Chipchase as an

Coos LEES PLACE RAIDED.

Last night Officer O'Mahany made a
raid on Coon Lees Chinese laundry on
North main street and captured full
f1edged opium smokers outfit, consisting
of peculiar looking pipe and the fixtures
that belong to it which are numerous and
decidedly odd looking. Coon claims that
the outfit was left there some time ago by
fellow countryman of bis who was con-
slant patron of the pipe and very piously
disclaims using it himself or permitting it
to be used in his establishment.
When the EAGLE man called on Coon
last night to hear what he had TO say
about it he was terrible hot at the interior
ence OF the ''Mellican man" who wears
the livery of the Peepless Princess for in
terfering with his right to harbor the
smoking outfit of celestial friend.
