Outlines of Oklahoma
1t seems that Guthrie is not worried
greatly. AL it wanted was the governor
There is probably nothing in the story
that Flynn is to be commissioner of Indian
affairs
at Chandler adjourned court there until
May 10.
1t is private information at Guthrie tina,
the Indian agents in the Territory will all
go by the board.
The FL Reno Star predicts that the next
Indian agent at Anadarko VIII be an east
ern oarpet-bagger.
One of Cassius Barnes sons IS on the bat
tlesh:p Texas and IS going TO make MS
E.ark as seaman.
Cassius Barnes will be the best looking
governor Oklahoma ever had. Even Seay's
friends concede this.
II this original Mckinley man idea is TO
be carried 10 an extreme Jenkins ought to
be in it up TO his eyes-Iids
Some OF Flynn's friends have not given
up yet by any means. They say the mat
ter will not be decided for weeks.
Trosper has written 10 the Times-Journa!
that he is still in Washington and will be
appointed governor. Who pulled him out
Of the Potomac?
Joe Winton of Guthrie, who is always
elbowing up against trouble. got into Chan
der just in time for the cyclone to turn
him wrongside out.
When they do finally find gold in the
Wichita mountains, which they will. the
West Side of Oklahoma will give the Eas,
Side the horse laugh.
IL is impossible TO vote a straight ticket
with a single cross in Oklahoma any more.
The legislature changed that and also did
away with the device.
John Swisky was acquitted of the charge
Of selling whisky to the Cheyennes. That
shows that mans name is not necessarily
against him in a trial.
The fellows who are talking about Barnes
taking revenge Oh his political opponents
are talking nonsense. A governor has TO
have his party with him.
1t will take Jim Kelly almost as long to
go 10 and from Greer county as il would
to go and come from Europe. jim is abou,
lost to the world hereafter.
Just after the Chandler cyclone Mayor
Jones worked like a trooper. He carried
two wounded people al one time from one
end of the town 10 the other
The cowmen's leases in the Kiowa coun-

to be renewed expire in a few weeks. The

Jack Braugh. big negro. got on a jam
boree at Perry the other night and the
street looked like Cuban battlefield be-
fore he was landed IN the refrigerator.
Governor Seay helped Barnes do it and
so did Jenkins. They will both have TO be
led 10 the pie-counter before Jake Admire
viii even be permitted to step inside the
front door.
The gist of the goveruorship matter is
that Mckinley would think he was un
grateful not TO reward Barnes; and the
people OF Oklahoma would have been I'M
grateful if they refused to send a Reed
delegation to ST. Louis
The foilcw.n is taken from the New
York Sun: Students of legislation can af-
ford to throw away all other text books and
devote themselves to commentaries on the
late legislature OF Oklahoma. That BODY
had all legislative talents and it used them
robly. 1t considered multitudinous bills |
for the abolition of most things and for the |
reform OF all. In point of language Il was |
as boiling as the most tropical rhetorician |
could desire. II made many terrible and |
deceptive motions and faints for the pur-
pose of striking terror into monopolies and |
corporations. Il carried hullabaloo 20 the |
verge of deliration. and adjourned witnou.
