CONSTABLE BEAM NOT ASKED
It Was Not He who Failed to Make
Certain Arrests.

1t should be said in fairness to Con-
stable Beam OF Old Forge that he was
not asked to serve papers for the ar
rest of Pascere and Grieco, suspected
in connection with the mudrer of Band
master Joseph Santoro. The papers
were given, it appears through mistake
to an eX-Constable, who declined to
act without advance payment.
Mr.. Beam has never shirked any
duty. His fearless arrest of the man
Cannon at revolVer's point two years
ago is remembered as an instance of
his energy and courage in the line of
duty.

to the progress of the work in
the Territory:
I'VE are anxiously awaiting
the action of congress on the
appropriation bill to see what
we are going to do. On this
bill depends the future work in
the Indian Territory, and there
10 a great deal to be done yet.
The work of surveying the
Greek nation is practically fir
ished. and 80 is the work in the
Seminole nation. but none of
the lands of the others of the
five civilized tribes have yet
been finished up. The Chero-
kee nation is nearing compile
ton, and the Choctaw work has
progressed to an advanced
stage. There are yet forty-six
townships in the Choctaw ma
ton that have had nothing done
on them except the surveying
of the exterior lines. All the
work in these townships in the
southeastern portion of the ma
ton. in the mountainous sec
ton, is yet to be done. AS for
the Chickasaw nation, the work
there has just begun, and it will
take a long time yet to finish
it."

WILL 1T SUCCEED2
A strong Pull On Now ON for Federal
Court House ae TIshOmlnGo-Ru-
mOgs an They Arise.

The following piece of news
has been going the rounds of
the press generally for the past
two weeks:
Governor Harris, of the
Chickasaw nation, is in Wash
ington with Attorney General
Boyd, and he will make an ef-
fort to have a federal court To-
Gated at Tishomingo. There 10
a great portion of our country
from which people have to 60
fifty and sixty miles to court
under the present arrangement,
and it is very annoying. As it
is now our people have to 60
to Tishomingo or Ardmore.
some of them a distance Of
more than fifty miles, to get
any kind of a civil process or
get an officer for the apprehen-
sion of a criminal. If tran
sient is about to leave the coun-
try and you know he is going
to beat you, a ride of a hundred
miles is probably necessary be-
fore papers can be had to stop
him and collect the debt. A
few more commissioners courts
scattered where they will be
handy to the people all over the
nation will prove q blessing to
u.s."
Whether or not the mission
of Governor Harris and his at
torney, r. L. Boyd. will bear
fruit in the securing of a court
for Tishomingo remains to be
seen. One thing is certain.
there is a powerful under cur
rent at work right now to Sc
cure a court for that or some
other point in the interior.
Further action on the contract
for the contemplated capitol
building at Tishomingo has
been postponed until the return
of those gentlemen from Wash
ington, they having in view the
fact that in the event they are
successful, changes in the con-
struction of this building would
be necessary. In further con-
nection with this il is intimated
that change will be made of
the Purcell court. Of course.
Purcell will get up on her ear
at this and, as usual, blame
Ardmore for working against
her, but that is all wrong. for,
as Purcell we'll knows. we have
troubles OF our own. Still, IL Is
intimated by some that the
court may be moved from Pauls
Valley or Purcell to some point
east. with a view to accomodat-
ing, to some extent, the people
in the rural districts who have
to travel so far to attend court.

BIG SCHOOL BUILDING PROPOSED
FOR PALAMA.
The Cabinet viii Consider lt-Inspec-
tor General Townsend Gives Some
Facts and Figures.

Minister of Public instruction Coop
er will bring before the Cabinet very
shortly now a proposition looking for
ward to the erection of a large school
building in Honolulu.
The proposition has the full endorse
ment of the educational committee
and the Cabinet has been requested 20
recommend to the coming legislature
that sufficient appropriation be
made. While the exact location has
not been definitely settled upon. up TO
the present day there is likelihood
that the school will be established at
Palama. The present accommoda-
tions in this thickly settled district
are far inadequate and quite crude.
1t is proposed to build ten room
school, with a library room. a princi-
pals office. hat and cloak rooms and
other necessary accommodations.
Whether it will be built of wood. or
brick or stone, is a question. OF
course the commissioners would much
prefer stone or brick The estimated
cost of a brick house was in the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
That the cause of education in these
Islands has been conducted in most
substantial and intelligent manner.
has never been even doubted. but now
Inspector General of Schools Towr-
send has proved to the department
that IA much larger amount of money is
expended in California for schools in
proportion to the population than IN
the Hawaiian Islands.
The total expenditure i'm California
for sites, buildings, furniture. libraries
and apparatus for the year 1S02-1S93
was $1,653,799 or 5000 per pupil tt
the same rate per pupil the Island ap-
preparation for these purposes would
be $213,744.22. During the same year
California spent S4,055,sss for sara-
ries of teachers and snperintendents,
or $25.73 per pupil. At the same rate
per pupil the Island pay roll for these
purposes would call for 524,325.9t.
The pay roll including the salaries Of
inspectors and other incidentals nee
essarv to keep the government schools,
running. now aggregate $394,1O0 for
the year, saving of S130,000 when it
is compared with California.
