TWO OPINIONS.

The Guthrie Leader says there
is plenty of gold in the Wichita
mountains, as will be seen by
the following:
j. w. Harnes, a Texas cat
tleman who came in from the
Kiowa and Comanche reserva-
tions, reports that prospectors
in the Wichita mountains have
struck several rich finds within
the last ten days. He says that
one party of three have easily
worked claims in a ravine where
they are taking out 500 and
$3.50 per day in free gold. An
other party has discovered
traces of mines formerly work
ed by the Indian police, who
will undoubtedly attempt to
drive all the prospectors out. -
The Territorial News of Mar
low is equally positive it's all a
humbug. The News says:
1.-The gold fields of the Wich-
ita mountains are attracting
considerable attention again
and no doubt there will be a
grand rush for the mountains
pretty soon. If the pieces OF
ore which were shown us this
week are a sample Of the best
gold producing ores, we would
advise our readers to let those
gold fields severely alone"

W. c. and Claude WsshIaGton Supposed
Principals In q street Duel at
Marietta Last Night.
Special to the ARDMoREITE.

Special to the ARDMoREITE.
Marietta, ]. T., Nov. 2l.-To-
night after dark there occurred
on the principal corner a duel,
but owing to the darkness neith-
er of the principals can be
located, but they are thought to
be Claude Washington on one
side, and Henry Foster or W.
C. Washington ON the other.
Foster is accused of hav-
ing stolen cattle from Jerry
Washington, father of Claude
Washington, one of the sup
posed duelists. w. G.. Washing
ton, Claude's uncle, went to
Ardmore today and made bond
for Foster, which action enrag-
ed Claude. 1t is not known
whether OF not either of the
principals was hurt. Ibut two
innocent bystanders were struck
by aying missiles. Will Gore
got an ugly wound in the thigh
from which a forty-five spent
ball has been extracted. He
may recover. James Barnett,
the other, was wounded in the
neck, but nothing serious.
Lateral 10 o'clock last
night Conductor Allen passed
through Ardmore. He was il
Marietta when the shooting oc'
CURED, leaving there after
o'clock. From him it wa:
learned that hopes for the re
covery of Gore had been aban
doned. An artery was cut anC
he was fast bleeding to death il
spite of all the efforts to checl
the flow. DIR. Bogie of thi:
city happened to be in Marietta
but in the absence of his instru
ment case he could not catcf
the severed aretery. Mr.. Aller
further said that excitement
was high.

INDIAN TERRITORY.
what Agent wIsdoa ThIaks Of the SIT
uatIoa-BeHeves AnOtmeat win Come
Soon-DeIeaate 60 Congress.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The
good effects from the recent
elections in the Chickasaw and
Choctaw Indian nations, in the
Indian Territory, which result
ed favorably to the friends of
allotment, was predicted in his
annual report made to the In
dian bureau by Agent Wisdom,
in charge of union agency, en-
bracing the five civilized tribes.
He says the results cannot do
otherwise than materially affect
public sentiment in the other
tribes, all of them heretofore
having stood solid against the
allotment of their lands.
A similar result, it is predict
ed, could be obtained in the
Cherokee nation if a fair vote
could be had and the full bloods
allowed to express their wishes
and sentiments at the polls.
Agent Wisdom says that many
people in the Indian Territory,
both citizens and non-citiZens,
now advocate the election of a
delegate to congress, who could
properly explain the existing
conditions and secure remedial
legislation.
This question will doubtless
be presented to the next con-
gress. The report arraigns the
action of past congresses.

Cured by a Miracle.

A most remarkable case of heal
ing occurred yesterday at the
holiness meeting in this city con-
Quoted by Rev. Rogers of Texas.
Miss Ella Dugan, a resident of
Shawnee, who is visiting Mrs. p.
d. Kenyon has from paralysis
been unable to walk without as
sistanee for over three years.
Several cures Of complaints similar
to hers have been made at the
holiness meeting and she concluded
TO attend.
Yesterday she attended, having
to be lifted in an ont of the buggy
which she came in. The holiness
believers anointed and prayed over
the young lady, and strange 70
say. she arose and walked. After
the meeting she walked down q
flight Of stairs and entered the
buggy without any assistance and
continues to have the free use OF
her limbs.
Miss Dugan is overjoyed at the
result and the cure does border on
the miraculous. s.-0klahoman.

The Dawes Commission.

The Dawes commission has been
in the city since Tuesday in con-
sultation with delegates from the
five civilized Tribes about matters
pertaining to the interests of the
Indians. Although the meeting
was held at the instance of the
Choctaws alone prominent mem
bers Of the other Tribes have been
present, all of whom are taking
part in the deliberations.
Owing to the fact that the meet
ings are being held behind closed
doors we are not able to give the
details of any thing which has been
done, but we understand that mat
ters are progressing satisfactorily
to all parties concerned.-FOrt

Thursday, Nov. 10, '96.
Dear Sir-The break in the
American markets yesterday
was fully responded to by Liv-
erpool, yet in the face of this
our market opened l point high
er. Later the heavy port re-
ceipts, as well as the large esti-
mates of receipts for tomorrow
here and at Houston, soon in
fiuenced prices adversely,
which caused a decline of IL
points from the top. When the
market was swept of all cheap
offerings sellers became scarce,
and as some outside buying or
ders came in about that time a
reaction of 9 points was estab-
lished, thereby reducing the net
loss on the day about ] point.
There seems to be no eager
ness shown by exporters to take
hold, and as long as the move
ment indicates no diminution,
the chances are they will re-
main apathetie. Therefore, al
though a reaction should be in
order, it is questionable whether
it will be permanent, even If
realized, consequently, we think
we'll of buying only on very
sharp declines.
Yours very truly,

= OUR republican friends real
ize the fact that they cannot
hope for any of the local court
offices on anything except po-
litical grounds. They know
that the officials of our courts
have been so Jealous and hon
est in the discharge of their
duties that no charge can be
brought against them except
they are democrats, no shadow
exists upon which to hang a
claim for their dismissal. 1t
remains to be seen whether OF
not the swift removals for par
tisan causes hoped for by the
-ravenous pie hunters will take
place, but it is likely that it will
be some time before any changes
are made here. There are so
many more important offices to
fill and the clamor will be so
great that it will probably be
some time before the weak
voice the territory case will be
heard in the proper circles

Wynnewood, l. T., Nov. 21.
The depot at this place was
broken into last night and the
cash drawer robbed of an
amount of money. Entrance
was affected by breaking the
glass oyer the window latch,
which, when unfastened, the
window was easily raised. The
robbery was committed between
the hours of s p. IN. and l a.
M, and was discovered when
the agent went to meet the
north bound passenger train at
the latter hour. 1t is thought
the parties to the robbery were
acquainted with the fact that no
one stays in the depot at night
only to meet the passenger
trains. Further than this sus-
picion there is no clue to the
perpetrators.

GREAT BRITAIN FOLLOWS SUIT
VIII Initiate Our Government in Its
Consular Service.

Washington, Sept 6.-ThOlnas Ew-
ing Moore, United States commercial
agent at Weimar. has called the atten-
ton of the department of state to the
fact that the British government mas
taken steps to supplement its consular
service by the appointment of com
mercial attaches. So far two of these
attaches have been appointed, one at
Berlin, whose field comprises !Germa-
ny, the Netherlands and Scandinavia,
and one at Madrid for Spain and Por-
tugal
The duties of these officials are to
relieve the consuls of the work of in
Producing British goods into foreign
markets, and the beginning of this
service has been noted with alarm by
Englands greatest trade competitor,
Germany, where the press has begun
already an agitation looking to the re-
form of the German consular service
to meet England's action, involving a
special education and preparation of
young men for consular careers. 1t is
demanded that the consular officers be
men commercially and technically
trained, or else that they be supplied
with specially trained assistants.
Mr.. Moore attributes this agitation
in both Great Britain and Germany for
the remodeling of the consular service
to a perception of the excellent results
attending the development by the
United States Of system of consular
reports upon matters calculated to
benefit American producers and mer-
chants.

One of the party said today, in ex-
planning the monetary condition of the
Chinese empire, that in order to raise
funds to pay the indemnity of nearly
500, 1000, 900 to Japan, Lii Hung Chang
has hypothecated the customs reVe-
nues at the ports on the coast where
import duties are collected, and that
an increase of the customs charges
would probably follow. This was the
only way to raise the money, as 1t
would not be polite to obtain 1T by
increasing the taxes. Only a small
portion of the population is aware of
the fact that there was war with ia
pan. and that the Chinese forces were
defeated The levying of tax would
be the means of spreading the infor-
nation, and dissatisfaction with the
government would arise.
AT $50 tomorrow the start Will he
made. Sir Henri G.. Jolley de Lotbin-
