Big Federal jail.

It is now pretty sure that the iu-
risdiction Of Ft. Smith and Paris
courts will be transferred to the Ter.
ritory courts about September lst.
Ii is so late in the season that con-
gressional action is not expected.
The department of justice has wax
ed to the fact that there Is just
barely time to prepare for the
change. Last week Marshal McAlister
received notice to take measures TO
increase the capacity of the Jail
here so that at least $50 prisoners
can be accommodated, with depart
ments for men and women and hos
pital facilities for each.
1t will be remembered that an ap-
preparation of 5000 went into
bin to build iails at Muskogee, South
McAlister and Ardmore, but IL seems
that the government prefers that in
dividuals build the iails and rent
them for a term of years. Acting

crnment or by individuals, is not
known. .-McAlester Capitol.

It's Postmaster Scott.

Hon. Moran Scott yesterday after
noon received a telegram from his
attorney in Washington, announcing
the pleasing and most gratifying in
telligence of his confirmation by the
senate as postmaster at Ardmore,
which action was taken Friday even
ing just before adjournment until
Monday. This settles the question
of Capt Hammers successorship,
and the ARDMoREITE is glad of the
fact.
Mr.. Scott was seen by an ARDMoRE-
TIE reporter soon after he had re-
ceiVed the message. He was all
smiles but not the least bit stuck up.
OF course he feels good, and we
don't blame him. He has had a
hard fight and has come out victo-
rious over his accusers. AS soon as
he fills his bond his commission will
issue and he will take charge of his
office, probably not earlier than July
/, the beginning of the first quarter
under the new classification wherein
Ardmore ranks as a second class Of
