of his tribe, James Deer, was legally
shot dead yesterday.

Of honor with the Creeks never to try
to escape punishment, so Watka had
remained with his people even after
he had been sentenced to death. But
his i'm pending fate softened Tookah's

ing happily together until yesterday,
when Watka bad ehis wife goodby and

ing to go before the grand jury and
plead guilty. He was told that he
could only make statement He
said he wanted the matter through
with as soon as possible, but the grand
jury will not take up his case until
Wedr "5day.
The min interest in the case now
centors on the question as to whatex-
tent Mrs Carr can be held liable for
the death of the child, and Prosecut-
ing Attorney Woodson is using every
effort to gather all the evidence to be
had bearing on the point Carr, since
confessing his own guilt has at all
times claimed that she was not re.
sponsible in any way for the death of
little Belle. In fact, he has so strong
ly protested against the charge that
his wife is guilty of connection with
the crime that he appears to be trying
to shield her.

LARGEsFDRH DOCK ON THE ARER1.
CAN COAST.

/
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Nov. 1897 The
Directors Of the Port Arthur Dock and
Canal Company at meeting held
October 25th decided to build at Port
Arthur the largest dry dock in the
country. This dry dock is to be capa-
bic OF holding vessels 500 feet long
and will be sufficiently large to con-
tain any two United States cruisers
There Is no dry dock on the gulf.
The nearest dry dock is one constructed
by the United States government at
Port Royal, S. @. There is dry dock
also on the Atlantic coast at Rio
Janerio, but 1t can only hold vessels
800 feet in length.
The building of this dry dock will
be a matter of more than national
Importance to shipping interests. So
far as its bearing upon naval matters
Is concerned II will be remembered
that short time ago the United States
battleship Indiana, sustained serious
injuries No dry dock in the country
was large enough to accommodate the
Indiana so she had to be taken to Hal
flax and tine remarkable spectacle of
United States naval vessel being
dry locked in a British harbor was
presented. Nobody knows what would
happen If war should suddenly be de-
clared and serious injury be sustained
oy some OF our large warships, which
might have to wait months before
proper repairs could be made in the
svent of any injury to them, when by
the building of a large dry dock proper
care could be taken of them and they
could be put in fit condition in very
short time.
No facilities whatever, exist on the
Gulf for properly taking care of in
jured vessels or for scraping them and
repairing them properly. Small yes
sells are drawn up on ways but no
large vessels can be repaired at all
The building of this dry dock is q
private affair and is to be paid for by
the Port Arthur Dock and Canal Com
pany. It's building is simply in line
with the vigorous policy that has been
pursued by the Kansas City, Pittsburg
& Gulf R. R. in developing the facilI-
ties for its harbor at Port Arthur, its
Gulf terminus, the Port Arthur Dock
and Canal Company being subsidiary
corporation of the Kansas City Pitts
burg 6 Gulf R. R.

JEFFERSON CITY, NO., Nov. Gov.
ernor Stephens issued the following
Thanksgiving proclamation to-day:
1--WE are in the midst of the season
when we hear the fair music that all
creatures make to their great Lord.
But while plenty may bring satisfac-
ton and contentment to the animal
world, man, as the high priest OF
nature, and alone capable of rem
dering intelligent and devout thanks
giving and worship unto Almighty
God, cannot enjoy to the full his
countless blessings save with CRATE
full heart. Thou crownest the year
with Thy goodness and Thy paths
drop fairness. The hills are girded
with joy. The pastures are clothed
with Aocks; the valleys also are COW
cred over with corn; they shout for
joy; they also sing
'Our great commonwealth. filed
with a larger population than be-
longed to our whole country when our
fathers won national independence,
can look back over the seventy-six
years of statehood and see the simple
industries of the pioneers grown to
the many diversified industries which
have made us the eighth state in
wealth, as we are the fifth in n UNI
bers. and political power in our great
union. We review a year of plenty
as mine and forest and pasture and
orchard and field have responded to
labor We have been graciously pre-
served from famine and pestilence,
from fire, flood and tornado, from law
lessness an6 civil strife. The spirit of
philanthrophy among our citizens has
been active in providing for the needs
OF tn su6cring and the unfortunate,
and n building churches and equip.
ping institutions of learning where
our sons and daughters may be fitted
for lives of greater usefulness. Chris
tian workers have brought many to
acknowledge their obligations to lead
better lives and countless homes have
been made happier for their efforts
during the year. For temporal and
spiritual blessings it becomes us to
render devout thanksgiving unto God.
Therefore, I, Lon " Stephens,
governor of Missouri, do hereby ap-
point Thursday, November 25, 1897, as
a day of thanksgiving and prayer, to
be observed with appropriate relig-
ious services alike about our hearth
stones and in our various places of
worship"
