Delegate Duncan Deprecates Major
kidd's Threats.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Delegate Wal
ter A. Duncan Of the Cherokee Indian
Nation, who has represented the interests
ofthose Indians for the past seven months
In Washington, left today for his home in
Indian Territory. His object in coming
to Washington was to attend TO the well
fare Of the Cherokees while arrangements
were being made by the Government for
the payment to them OF the purchase price
OF the Cherokee outlet and to oppose leg
islation that might restrict their rights.
Delegate Duncan deprecates the utter
snces of Major Kidd, a member of the
Cherokee commission, who asserted in
recent speech that il the Indians refuse to
voluntarily accept tallotments, they will be
forced to accept by the Government.
"The threat" says Mr.. Duncan, sis un-
fortunate, coming as it does from . Gov
ernment agent. 1t has created consider
able indignation and may result In failure
OF the purposes OF the commission"

ALWAYS REPAIRING.
Fewer Changes In the Capitol Build.
ing This Season Than Usual.

By The Associated Press.
WAsHINdroN, Aug. 31.--There is rarely
time wher some changes or alterations
are not being made in the Capitol build
Ing. There will be fewer than usual this
recess, owing to the strict retrenchment
OF expense practiced by the session just
closed. The Supreme Court is to have
new elevator from the basement to the
hoor OF the court room, about one hun
dred and fifty feet. Hitherto, the
supreme Court Justices have had to wan
der lar away into the wings Of the Capitol
10 an elevator or else walk. This Is the
nrst elevator put into the central wing OF
the Capitol, and I is cut through some of
the original masonry OF the historic struc-
ture-masonry calculated TO awaken the
amazement OF modern constructors by
its substantial and massive charac-
ter. committee was appointed
during the session to recommend an
entirely new method of ventilation for
the hall OF the House. No action resulted
however. Not even their recommendation
to clear out the II les Of old pamphlets and
waste paper from the vaults under the
House at an expenditure OF about $500,
was acted upon. The only work at the
Capitol before the next session will there
fore be small repairs, painting, etc.

A BEAUTIFUL BANDIT.
A Society Belle Thwarted in Love
Turns Outlaw.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Aug. 31.-Deputy mar
shals from the Usage country have
brought to this place, and lodged in jail,
a good-looking girl, dressed In mans at
tire. They had arrested her on charge
OF horse stealing. There was something
mysterious about the girl, who refused to
talk OF herself, and the officers began
an investigation. They found that
she has been for two years
leader of the most daring band of horse
thieves in the territory and had baffied the
officers, who had long been on the track
of supposed woman. She had, unaided,
made way with several score of valuable
animals. She is Mary Hopkins, the daugh-
ter OF a well-to-do Kansas farmer, and at
one time was the belle in Leavenworth b So
ciety. She left her home to become an
outlaw because her parents opposed her
TO the man of her choice.

PLAYGROUND SEASON OVER.

This is the last day of the children's q
Fairgrounds for the summer, and little
fellows have got just nine days to play In
their own yards before school opens. The
grounds which have been kept open by
the Union for Practical Progress have all
been very successful, and the purpose for
which they were started has been at
tanned. Thousands of children have been
bettered by 1t very materially, and all has
been accomplished by the modest outlay

Mr.. Pittinger, the secretary of the local
Union for Practical Progress, and the one
who has done so much for the playground
movement, has been elected secretary OF
the Massachusetts, Union, but will still
retain his connection here.

Had a bomb fallen in the courtroom
there couldn't have been much more sur
prise. Everybody expected, of course,
from the actions of the witness. that he
was getting clearly into contempt, but not
for a moment did they think it would
come so soon. The defendant leaned
suddenly back in his chair and almost
gasped, the attorneys for the defense
looked flabbergasted, while the attorneys
for the prosecution hardly realized for a
moment that such swift punishment had
fallen upon the defiant witness. The
spectators were simply astonished, about
the only really self-Dossessed man in the
room being Judge Wallace himself.
At the beck of one of the Sheriff's depu-
