ness and outrages Of the Cook gang Of brigands
IN Indian Territory IL Is possible that some good
NAV come, in a better form Of government for
the Territory or in a better judicial system, orin
both. As Is we'll known, the Commission
headed by Mr.. Dawes has been for . long time
engaged In trying TO secure = better form Of
government for the Indian Territory. Begin.
ming with the little nucleus Of the original Oh.
lahoma, carved out Of the centre Of its 5000
square miles, this Territory has lost slice after
slice from its western portion and its northern
until now tho area of Oklahoma IL more
than 5000 square miles against 81, 400 for the
Indian Territory ms IL exists to-day. still this
remaining area Is not much inferior TO that Of
Maine, and exceeds that OF South Carolina. 40
thai II IL could be formed into a separate state
there would not necessarily be any objection on
that score. The total population was nearly
1sO. 900 at the last census, or more than double
that OF Idaho.
1t seems, however. the natural order OF things
that Statehood should be preceded by the ordi-
nary status of a Territory. such as does not now
exist in that region. As Is we'll known. the Ave
tribes or nations have separate governments,
each within its own limits. Moreover, the non.
citizen population constitutes about two-thlrds
Of the entire population. II Is clear that such .
condition Of Affairs Is anomalous, and that 10

OF the case to say that he was rIcketty on his

legs. They were OF the heavy, truncated cone

load below he had as much as he could carry,
even with the unsteady assistance OF a crutch
and q cane.
After two or three experiences OF temporary
and unsympathetic assistance from a Second

With a good deal of effort lie managed 10 set
himself up like an uneven tripod near the track,
and waved his stick To the driver. But he was q
very unpromising looking customer, and

LIFE AND COST OF Il LOCOMOTIVE.
The Exuitant Start, the Gradual Decline,
and the Inevitable Break Up.

Tho cash value of a locomotive averages
$4,000. and there are now in use on the railroads
of the United States about 5000 locomotives,
representing a total investment OF $3.50. 900, 000.
The Pennsylvania Railroad stands at the head
ofthe list with .025 locomotives. The New York
Central Is not very far behind with 200 loco
motives. The Erie Railroad has 664; the Louis
willie and Nashville, 532; tho Union Pacific. ,066;
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western. 564;
the Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul. 7ss: the
Chicago and Northwest, s5s; the Northern Pa

The life of an ordinary locomotive. shining
brass, glittering steel, iron, and hard wood. Is
shorter than the life of an individual. and is In
three divisions. First, when, bright and new from
the machine shop, 1t Is run along the tracks to the
roundhouse, flags flying from the cab and q

The second stage is when. after having been

James Scott, commercial traveller Of Beaver

the Gaicty girls at Days, and so, being in town
last night, he thought he'd go and see her.
II was at $3.50 that Mr. Scott presented himself
at the theatre entrance. Mr. DAILY had a num-
her Of spotters out, who. when they saw a man
buy from ticket Spectator, followed him in to
the ticket taker, who upon notification refused
TO accept the ticket. Ten or dozen men with
spectators tickets had been TUNED away and
had had their money returned at the box office.
Mr.. Scott knew nothing Of all this, and was

for an interesting moment, and not until Mr..
DAILY arrived in person. Then Mr.. Scott turned
fcrcely upon Mr.. DAILY and Mr.. Days cohorts.
There was a scrap. Overcome by numbers, Mr..
Scott was gradually forced down the steps.
Once In while In the progress Of the melee he
caught glimpse Of the Gaiety Girl, and still he
contested the ground.
Manager Richard Dorney was taking part in
the ejcctmcnt Of Mr.. Scott, and it was only .
short time before Mr.. Scott got down the
steps and close TO the gate. This gate is set In
the middle Of long brass railing, and was, un-
fortunately, shut. So down went the whole rail-
ing when the crowd struck 1t.
No such dreadful noise has been heard in Mr..
Days Theatre in a long time. Mr.. DAILY. Mr..
Scott. and the assistants were precipitatcd in
horrible confusion down the steps. Mr.. Days

had the misfortune to be taken in custody and
