TRIP TO HEALDTON.
An sremorefte Reporter Visi.sthe rO-a
Fine Business Center and ProGrea-
siVe Aerehants-FIourishI School

A reporter set out last Friday for
the town OF Healdton, with a view to
increasing the already large circula-
ton OF the AEDNors TE IN that sec
ton. Accordingly he boarded the
Ardmore and Healdton mail and
express line, which is run BY E. z.
Lindsay, of Healdton. This line
makes the triD daily, carrying Passen-
gers, small packages, etc.
We arrived at Healdton at 1:s0 p.
m. and our inner man was provided
for by n. B. Gay, who keeps one Of
the best boarding houses that We
have found in the Indian Territory.
Healdton is situated thirty miles
west OF Ardmore, Is high and dry,
blessed with pure water, and is
surrounded by the best farming land
in the territory. IL has n fiOurishing
school of sixty-six pupils, in charge
of Prof. J. II. Roach, who has the
reputation OF being fine instructor.
Healdton has about $50 population,
and Is the business center for n
large section Of country.
Among the merchants doing busi-
ness there We noted ]. W. Orme,
doing a general merchandise bnsi-
ness, and who Is the oldest merchant
there. lie carries a stock OF $500
and upwards, and employs one clerk
j. W. Whaley late OF st. Joe, Tex.
Mr.. orme perhaps does the largest
business of any firm in the town.
T. \. Maxwell, also does n
general merchandise business. lie
carries a large stock in a store 2Ox8O,
and is assisted by his son, who makes
many friends for the firm.
W. 4. Mcknight is the postmaster
and keeps a drug store. lie is one
the clcverest and most accommodate

India. Territory. he does a iucra-
tive business in the drug line, and
his friends are legion.
Messrs. DeGarmo & Gray are the
proprictors OF n steam grist mill and
cotton gin, and do a large business
with tie country people. Last season
they Einned and packed $50 bales of
cotton.
v. b. Gray does a general mer-
chaalise business, and ia a whole
souled, clever gentleman.
Thee are three blacksmith shops
in the town, and all Of them are

by everyone with whom be came in

HEARING CONCLUDED.
And Favorable Report on tho Bn For Re-
organizing Indian Territory Is Ex-
peeted-cOndemnstor Testimony

WASH NGToN, March 2l.-The house
committee on Indian affairs today
closed the hearing it has been hold
ing upon the bill for the reorganiza-
tion II affairs in the Indian Territory.
As is generally known this is the bill
devised by the Dawes commission
and was finally supported today by
Senator Dawes and Commissioner
McKennon.
The facts submitted by the men,
bers of the commission have been so
startling and SO condemnatory of
Indian governments generally that
the committee is determined to make
reports of the hearing public and
have them laid before congress when
the bill is discussed, as it has prac-
tically been determined that the
committee will report the bill favor
ably to the house.
In regard to the Curtis bill, as a
substitute for the Dawes bill, it may
be stated that Mr.. Curtis, formerly
in favor of less drastic methods than
this bin proposes, has now come to
believe that no steps can be too ad-
vauced for the remedy of the situa-
tion as il exists in the Indian Terri
tory. He will probably not press his
substitute before the committee, pre-
fcrring mainly to effect cartain
amendments of the bill when 1t is
| discussed in committee before pre-
sentation to the house. The Indian
committee is thoroughly aroused on
the subject and seems to be deter
mined to have legislation by the
house at this session.
AS there is the same disposition in
the Senate, it is not unlikely that
some legislation following the line of
the Dawes commission bill will re-
suit. There are more Indians in
Washington now than have been for
several sessions past and they
are filing protests against any radi-
cal action. The president receives
an Indian delegation almost daily.

UNSUCCESSFUL EFFORT.
The Federal Prisoners Attempt an Escape
~ the Tua6ei ROute-Deteetioa
Thwarts Their Plans.

On Saturday night the prisoners
made an unsuccessful effort TO escape
from the federal jail in this city.
Their method was a tunnel out under
the west wall Of the prison and when
discovered yesterday morning they
had gone about eight feet in the di-
rection Of liberty.
They were not very smooth I'm COW
ering up their designs and OF course
detection on the part Of the officers
put an end to their prospects.
The officials say there were eight OF
the prisoners engaged in the plot
and that Mcintyre was the leader.
On yesterday morning they were
chained together in pairs as a pun
ishment and to prevent further prob
ability on an escape. The offenders
were mostly men convicted during
the presest term Of court.
