Enfaula Notes.


The United States geological sur
veying party at Eufaula received a
car load of government mules yes
terday at this point.
Freight train No. 204 was wreck
ed at South Canadian yesterday
morning. twenty cars being derail-
ed on a washout. M one was SER
iously injured and the damage was
slight.
There has been an epidemic of
accidents, killings and fights, mad
dogs and business mishaps in this
section of late Such things are
very unusual and therefore their
occurrence attracts more than ordi-
nary comment.
One Mr.. Ecker, living on the
Stanley farm near Euiaula was
cleaning a pistol last Sunday when
it was accidentally discharged the
ball striking his wife in the stom-
ach and passing out at the back.

The oldest cat in the Indian Ter
ritory lives with family in Eu-
faula. She is a little over 21 years
old and came into the possession
of the present owner q years ago
when she was a kitten and the
lady was a little five year-old
child. The old cat is nearly blind
and is stone deaf, but is otherwise
in very good health.
The two little girls of Mr..
James Sudduth. who were bitten
by mad dog last week were taken
few days since te Brush Hill
where a mad stone could be secur-
ed. The stone adhered for Al
hours to one of the wounds and %
hours to the other. More than
nine days have now elapsed since
the little girls were bitten, and as
no symptoms of hydrophobia have
yet appeared it is presumed they
are cured.

WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK
Gould Not Get the Lost Purse. But Neither
Could the Other Woman.


Could the Other Woman.
Where they all came from was
mystery. And why so many women
had selected this scorching day to shop
was incomprehensible-a least to the
finite masculine mind. But the big
shop was packed and jammed with
them They all looked utterly tagged
out and many showed signs of growing
irritation.
Two women of widely contrasting
types paused for moment on the out
skirts of this human vortex. They
stood at opposite points, equally dis
slant from that portion of the long
counter dedicated to Remnants"
Neither was young. The one, evident
ly country woman, had the placidly
stupid gaze of a ruminating cow. The
other was distinctly product of New
York. She was dressed in rusty black.
Bits of crepe were pinned at uncertain
intervals upon her costume. Her shabby
bonnet, with its drt ken plume, was
very much over one ear She wore the
suspicious, hut alert, air of a terrier
that had been fooled too often by the
cry of Rats The illusion was
heightened by peculiar habit of car
rying her elbows close to her sides and
letting her hands flop down from her
extended wrists. as if sitting up, beg
ging."
A common impulse put both women
in motion. On the floor by the rem
nant counter lay a purse. Apparently
no one else saw it,
The small woman, by vigorous ap-
plication of her sharp elbows, worried
her way toward the prize. But here,
size defeated agility. BY sheer force
of her own weight the country woman
projected herself upon it. Victory was
hers
The little woman gave yelp of dis
appointment as she saw her rivals
hand open the parse and disclose a
goodly sized roll of bills. Instantly
her face CLEANED with malicious
triumph.
Leaning over the counter she called
in a shrill voice. "Miss. here's lady"
with scathing emphasis-'-as has
found purse with money. Won't you
take her to the department for lost ar
ticles?"
The country woman's eyes filed with
tears OF rage. II guess it amt your
business; kin take care of it myself, l
reckon"
But it was too late. The ever pres
ent floor walker had heard the request
and he condescended to lead the crest
fallen country woman to the cashiers
desk. With last exultant snarl the
small woman corkscrewed her way
through the crowd and disappeared.

An Oklahoma paper says that it
favors single statehood because the
Indian Territory portion of the
proposed state would pay the
greater portion of the taxes. The
ArdmoIeite says that is its objec-
ton to Single statehood. Now, we
would like to have either of these
papers explain the method by
which either portion of the state
would be disproportioBately taxed
Would tax levy be made Tor state
purposes that would vary in differ
ent sections of the state? Some
people make great bugbears of this
taxation business, etc, when CON-
mon sense should teach them that
these are matters having no b airing
upon the question whatever and
that 20 bear a portion of the taxes
OF large state would not impose
near so heavy burden upon us as
to pay the entire cost of maintain

his remarks about the Dawes COM
mission. Brother, abuse and vitu-
peratiOn are not argument. The
Chieftain is willing to believe that
Senator Dawes is honest In his
views, and has reported conditions
here as he viewed them. The In
dians themselves are much to
blame for the severeness of the re-
port of the commission. Courtesy
to the government of the United
States would not have hurt any OF
the tribal governments, and this,
at least, was expected by the presi-
dent when he appointed the COM
mission. No, brother, abuse is not
argument.-Ardmore ChIeftain.

NeOsho,s High Mater.

A dispatch from Neosho of The

than here. 1t says: Neosho has
been water-bound since Tuesday
morning. The passenger train on
the Frisco railway left at that time
but has been unable to get to Vini-
ia. The north bound passenger
train on the Kansas City, Pitts
burg Il Gulf railway has been lay
ing here since s o'clock a IN. Tues
day. Rain has fallen necessarily
since 10 O'Clock Tuesday night and
rain guages show fall of over u
inches. The Frisco track that
runs along Shoal Creek valley
is under water from here to Gran
by, and the Pitts burg road lost over
a mile and a half of track between
this point and Joplin. Hickory
creek, which runs through Neosho,
is over quarter of a mile wide,
and is threatening several resi-
dences situated in the valley. The
Big Springs. located three blocks
west of the square, is a roaring
river, running over the bridges and
crossings, its branch floating Alex
ander & Sons plow shops and the
Neosho planning mill and several
other manufacturing plants situat-
ed along the branch that have
heretofore been supposed to be
above high water. Great damage
is being done to the wheat crop of
the county and the streets and

tween the lines sees no prospect of
the early removal of the intruders.
With many there is a feeling of
detection. Among the reasonable,
thinking members of the gov ern-
ment it is not hatred for Watts and
his followers that actuates them on
this subject but feeling of deep
wrong being perpetrated by the
United States government. The
Cherokees were coerced into pay

having done all the government
exacted in the premises are not
