The Year Nineteen Hundred Not Leap
Year Many Suppose.
The young ladies who are waiting for
q chance to avail themselves of the leap
year privileges will have to be on the
lookout, as the opportunities in the next
decade will be few. 1896 is not only the
last leap year of this century, but it is the
last one until 1904 The rule adopted in
the construction of the Julien calendar
provides that every year that ia divisible
by four is a leap year, except the year
beginning a century, when it must be di-
visible by 400. Hence 1895 will be leap
year but 1900 will not. The man whose
birthday falls on February 90, 1895 will
not have another opportunity to celebrate
his birthday until 1904 W. F. FILE

MR.. sHERMAN's BILL KILLED.
He Says the Best Bill of the Session Wasn't
Even Recommended.


Even Recommended.
Mr.. Sherman of Shawnee believes that
the best bill, providing for new state
buildings, was killed by the ways and
means committee. It was his bill to
build an industrial hall at the state re-
form school for boys. It carried an ap-
preparation of only $1,000. Mr.. Sherman
said: "As it is there is nothing for the
boys to do but perform the little work
there is to do on the farm. They are
given the opportunity to learn no trade,
and when they get out they have not
been benefited by their confinement
They have not learned anything but
farming, and if there is no chance for
them to get work in that line when they
are released they are thrown back on the
community to become criminals"

on the canvass. The lecturer was
quite safe in offering to return the

Good OpInIOn of Ardnore.

In the meeting of the Field Club,
composed of insurance men, held at
Excelsior Springs, Mo-, recently, the
following expression was called forth
touching Ardmore, and was published
in the In. france Magazine:
Several gentlemen were present
who adjusted the losses at Ardmore,
l. T. There were sixteen adjusters
there and the work took ten days.
Insurance men were never better
treated than were these adjuster at
Ardmore. That town is in rich cot
ton country, near the Red river and
Texas; it is a wide-awake business
town and has a very intelligent and
superior class of business men. The
citizens will widen tive of the streets,
one to 100 feet and the other to 1OO
feet. They have gone to work to Sc
cure water works, and the insurance
men have promised to aid them in
evrey possible way"

City Bath Rooms.

The ARDMoREITE reporter was
yesterday shown through the City
Bath Rooms, just opened up by
Scales & O'Brien, opposite the rail
road water tank. Uncle Bob, as the
boys call him, has fitted the place
up according to his own ideas and
tastes, which is a sufficient guaran-
tee that comfort and elegance of ap-
pointments are it's crowning features.
He has four bath tubs fitted up with
hot, cold and shower pipes, the
rooms provided with fans, propelled
by the engine furnishing the pres
sure, while the ONCE and dressing
rooms are models of elegance. The
yard is ornamented by flowers,
shrubbery and a fountain continual
ly sending it's spray heavenward. A
pavilion in the yard provided with
settees affords a pleasant lounging
place for visitors. In providing this
adjunct for the promotion OF health
and cleanliness, the dear ladies have
not been forgotten, for IL Is the Pur-
pose to set aside two days each week
as ladies' days, at which times the
Misses Scales will be in charge.

AN UNwISE COURSE.
A DsnRsrOus Hardship Imposed UpOu the
People Of the Indian Territory bY
Reducing the MarshaI's Force.

Letters are pouring in upon the
marshal, asking for the appointment
OF deputies in all parts of the country.
The people are not aware that the
act of March 1, 1895, confines the
marshal to four regular deputies, and
that he appoint more only in case OF
emergency, when the district Judge
may authorize a sufficient number for
the suppression of crime.
There are four regular places for
holding court in the Central district,
and it takes one deputy at each place,
in the office, to care for civil processes
issued by the clerk. There is, there
fore, no one to serve criminal process
ses, and no deputy to do the work
usually done by them.
The people are clamoring for pro-
lection, and unless some relief is Civ
en- them, crime and disorder win
soon be as prevalent as before the es-
tablishment OF the court.
Judge Stuart, Attorney Walker and
Marshal McAlester, after consulta-
ton, decided that an emergency ex-
listed, and upon the recommendation
OF the Judge, the parshal appointed
eleven special deputies.
The Attorney General is of the
opinion that the word Emergency
in the law refers only to outbreaks
of the character Of the Cook and
other gangs of outlaws that have
infested this country; and that this
word gives them authority to Rpoint
only enough men TO suppress such
acts.
This Interpretation of the law on
Iy gives twelve deputies for the en-
tire territory, with an area about
like Arkansas, and a population oil
35O, 900 souls, thing that is impossi-
BILE and that is attempted no where
else in the world. The man who
wrote that paragraph of the Law
must have been densely ignorant o.

The law-breakers and tough char
acters are fully posted as to existing
conditions, and are playing a higl
hand. Whisky peddlers are selling
