We publish this week, in full,
substitute bill now before the
lower house of congress, contem-
plating great changes in this cOun-
try. We do not publish this be-
cause we think it will become a
law as it now stands, but because
it will probably be basis of what
eyer action is taken. 1t seems
probable that it will pass the lower
house substantially as presented,
but that changes will be made in
it in the senate. of how great ex-
tent those changes may be it is
now impossible to determine. 1t
will then go to a conference com
mittee and what will be agreed
upon in that committee no man
can say. One thing is certain,
and that is that the most powerful
lobby ever arrayed against bill is
now fighting this. The boodlers
of the tribes, the corporate in
fiuence, the hordes of attorneys
and other blood suckers who have
drawn so extravagantly upon the
funds of the Indians, all these and
others who are being enriched by
present conditions are making the
fight of their lives to defeat this
bill, which would shake off all
these parasitic leeches and leave
the patrimony of the Indian people
where it rightly belongs-each
mans share in his own possession.
They are moving heaven and
earth, marshaling every influence
they can bring, whether of
cupidity or Of mistaken sentimen-
tality. and no one can with any
certainty predict the effect their
fight will have. Purcell Register.

SENSATION EXPLODED.
mysterious DIsapDearsnee'' % en- Ard
more Business Man Accounted
FOr-SafeIy In an Asylum.

That very sensational sheet, the
st. Louis Chronicle, has in glowing
head lines an accout of foul play
suspicioned on an Ardmore merchant
who has mysteriously disappeared
from our midst.
For the benefit Of it's readers, and
that the fears of its veteran cor
respondent may be toned down
below the anxious seat, we will
state that the party supposed to have
been foully dealt with is the man
Curry who had a small stand on
Caddo street from which he barely
eked living.
His mind has for some time been
unbalanced and his relatives have
made several fruitless efforts to get
him back to Alabama.
Through friends who live on the
Washita near here, he was, about
three weeks ago, induced TO make a
trip back home, and when there his
people resolved TO protect him and
placed him in an asylum.
His pr 1erty here is in the hands
of n receiver, and we are informed
is covered with 4 mortgage, which
for quite a while has been preying
on his mind.
This is all the foul play attached
to the mysterious disappearance Of
an Ardmore merchant.

George j.. Frasher was without a
place for a few days in which to do
business. The fire had swept away
every vestige of his stock in trade,
but his pluck and energy were left
unimpaired and he soon improvised
temporary quarters and before
nightfall of the second day following
that eventful occasion he was doing
business at the old stand. He is
still there and carries a full and COM
plete stock of CONNECTIONS, iced
drinks of permissible character and
in his short order department he is
strictly in line with the wants of his
customers. 1t will take a greater
calamity than fire to stop George
from business for he is of that class

JUMPED TO HIS DEATH.
James Watkins OF Graham Jumps From
Through stock Train and Re-
ceIves Injuries Resulting FatsIIy.

James watkins a young man WnO
lived in the neighborhond of Graham
and who was riding a stock train
which ran through here Friday night
at high rate of speed, jumped off
and sustained internal injuries which
resulted in his death some hours
later.
From parties interested it is learn
ed that Watkins had been attending
the court at Paris, and was return
ing home in company with an associ-
ate named Jim Measles.
While in Gainesville they formed
the acquaintance and company of
some other boys and a negro from
Denison, together they resolved to
ride freight trains to this point.
The negro it seems got of by him
self and got here first. On another
train was Watkins, Measles, and
two boys from Sherman. Seeing
that the train would not stop here
they concluded to jump, Measles re
porting at the depot where he met
the negro, who asked about his
friend. Measles replied he guessed
be was killed, as he (himself) had
just had a narrow escape. Saying
this he told that he was going off to
bed, which he did.
Some three hours later and at
about two O'Clock, some one found
Watkins lying by the side of the
track in the cut north of the depot,
unconscious. An alarm was given,
physicians called, and he was carried
into town but medical skill could
not avail, and he died without re-
gaining consciousness.
| There were no bones broken and
no marks or bruises outwardly.
A strange feature in the case now
is the sudden disappearance of the
man Measles. He was awakened
and went with others and assisted
in carrying the injured man into
town, then left and has not been
seen since.
Some believe Measles sustained in
juries by his jump from the train
which has rendered him temporarily
insane. Others think foul play to
Watkins as the cause OF his disap-
pearance it being told by some that
Watkins was a witness against him
in some case in the Paris court.
The two Sherman boys were afraid
to Jump and made the run to the
water tank in the canyon and re
turned on another train before Wat
kins was found.
The mother of deceased was
present at his dying hour and will
take the remains to Elk today when
they will be laid by the side of his
father.

dust.
Bernhardt is between so and so now.
She made her first triumph way back
in 1869. But when she glides upon the
stage of Abbey's theater in a few days
the audience will scarcely huileVe her
more than half that age, This time
she will show Americans her "Gismon-
da," a creation in which her cat-like
movement and passionate abandon
have full play. Those who see her in
that role will be unable to believe that
the actress has passed the years of
dangerous emotion, but see in her their
old time favOrite, who alone of all stage
women can realize the conception of her
who lures mems souls to the shores of
sin with the light of her wanton eyes"
Bernhard will not forget her old sue
cesses. We shall see her slowly fading
Camille, her passionate Theodore and
her fierce La Tosca. Some of her enc
mics say that she has been devoting so
much time to the management of her
Renaissance theater which she recently
undertook, that her art has suffered
but those who know this woman's many
sidedness only laugh at this idea.

NEGo TIATlNG FOR BLACK HORNET
Manager Of the DeIamar Mines After
Another Gold Property.

Boise, Jan. 4.-Captain K. w. Plummer,
manager Of the Delamar mine, left for
home today after having made a careful
examination of the Black Hornet near this
place. 1t is believed that he will purchase
it. 1t was reported some weeks ago that
he had secured it, but there was some
hitch at that time. Now there is nothing
standing in the way of the sale but the
result of the sampling, which will be
known in a few days. The point to be
determined is the value Of very large bod
les or ore that are two low grade to ship.
Much of this has been developed during
the operations Of green owners, who have
been taking out the high grade mineral
If it goes as high as supposed the sale
will undoubtedly be made.

New York, Jan. 6.-The World today

stephen II. Emmons, who is president
of gold mining company with offices at
No. / Broadway has sent an open letter
to President Cleveland, and offered a
unique plan for maintaining the gold re-
serve He said in part:
If the secretary of the treasury will
put himself in communication with the
owners of the gold mines throughout the
country, he can cause the entire gold pro-
duction of the United States to be placed
at the disposal Of the government in eX-
change for silver coin So far, at any
rate as the mines which [ personally pos
sess or direct. are concerned, l am willing
to undertake that their output of gold
a very considerable amount-shall thus
be dealt with and there shall not be any
doubt of any other American gold mining
corporations being ready to do the same
The assistance thus Obtainable by the
government will not involve any bond is
sue and will not saddle the nation with
any interest charge or remuneration. 1t
will add to the volume of home currency
and at the same time it will equally in
crease the amount of international cur
rency in the treasury.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 6.-Whether
Arthur J. Shaw of Spokane will be cho-
sen secretary of the senate depends large
ly on whether the republicans succeed

In that event Mr.. Shaw will be certain to
receive either the secretaryship or some
other leading position to be had in the re-
