To THE EDITOR OF THE SrN-!Si-: In order

i desire to make the following statement:
I. The permission granted to the receiver q.

Tho cherokees and the Commission,

1t is probably q safe deduction from tho

Choctaws have come to an agreement with
that commission. under which the princi.
pie Of severalty allotment is accepted, and
even tribal authority will cease after a
period not exceeding ten years. The

held at any church in the city for a

dozen professions Sunday night and
a large number of others on the anx-

DR.. Jno. B Lowery, the distin
guished Arkansas evangelist, is
still preaching morning and eve

days longer. The meeting will con
tinue until Wednesday night and
perhaps until the end of the week.
The attendance at every service con

not hold the crowds. DIR. Lowery is
one Of the most successful evange-
lists who has ever visited the city.

Mr.. JAS w. Hale is a sophomore in
South Kentucky College. His home

70 years of age. This is his second

Miss Griffin is a junior in the same

An organization is to be perfected
looking to annual contests of this

The fact that Hopkinsville cap

the bright young contestants but
speaks volumes for the superiority of
South Kentucky College.

left home on horseback and went to
Wallonia, distance of about eight
miles. Arriving there he went to a
blacksmith shop, which was open, land
number of people were ia the
building, the weather being incle-
ment. He was still drunk and bois-
ferrous and made himself so disagree
able and noisy that the owner of the
shop ordered him out.
He turned about, walked out in the
road in front of the shop, pulled out
a pistol and placing it to his right
temple fired. The bullet crushed
through his brain and he fell dead in
his tracks. He gave no reason at all
for the act.

FLOODED by a Water snout

The report comes from the neigh
borhood of Julien that a regular
water spout occurred in that section
late Thursday afternoon, doing con.
siderable damage to corn land and
other high lands. The downpour for
an hour was terrific and young vege.
tation was beaten into the mud and
covered up in many places. Low
lands were submerged and will not
be in order for work for some time.

Only ss Were LOST.

Guthrie, o. t., April 29.-The
great Guthrie food is thing of the
past The waters have receded and
the ground is almost dry.
A trip through the flooded district
shows over one hundred houses en-
tlrely gone, just as many wrecked or
damaged, dozen business houses
wrecked and twice as many stocks of
goods damaged.
The loss is fully 100000, and 500
people are homeless and twice as
many lost their clothing, household
goods and personal effects.
With the receding of the water
and the coming of dawn began the
search for the missing. Many of
those reported last night as possibly
were found IN treason high
places and in houses lodged down
stream, and it soon became apparent
that the number of drowned did not
exceed twenty or twenty-five.

Notwithstanding the fact that cir

five divorce suits. Twenty-one di-

There was no organized opposition to
the old trustees, but a considerable
complimentary vote was cast for
Messrs. Bailey Richards and NJ. F.

voting. These gentlemen were net
voted for until the election had been

brought about by the officious conduct
of certain unpopular ward politicians,
who burdened them with their SUD
