Why We Don't.

The ARDMoREITE is in receipt of
a gem from Earl with a very ur-
gent request that it be published
and sent to all papers to copy.
If the writer thinks for a mo-
ment that he can use space in the
ARDMoREITE to heap burning
Goals upon the head of his fellow
man, he must at once be unde-
ceived. We are not in that line of
business; others may be. If the
writer of the article will send the
matter written on one side of the
paper only, with his name in full
and the sum of two dollars to pay
for the same, and also some good
excuse for having it published. he
can see how it looks in print.
Yes, friend, the ARDMoREITE is
a most charitable institution, be-
lever in all great virtues, the
greatest of all of which is charity,
and this same charity which COW
ers the other fellow does the same
for you.

We Hear the cry

In answering the appeal of our
fellowmen ut Duncan for aid in
this dire calamity which has fallen
to their lot. hesitancy is one word
which should never be allowed in
sight. The damage is done; agony
prevails, help is needed-and it is
needed right now. Ardmore knows
only too well the story of disaster.
She has had her share, and today
sees her almost fully recovered
from her wreck. Let selfshness
now be thrown aside. We have all
been accused of selfishness, but
whether justly or uniustly we care
not. We ought now to show a
spirit of brotherly love and Christ
ian charity to the people of Dun
can who perchance are less fortu-
nate than we. Let us help them
without a murmur. Let ms help
them cheerfully. The Lord lOveth
cheerful giver. We recall the
Shawnee disaster. Our noble wO-
men went to work with a will, and
right we'll did they act the part of
the Good Samaritan. The sterner
sex, the men, cannot afford to be
outdone by gentle hands in deeds
of charity. Then let us all unite
as in one great body in giving
fully and freely to those who cry
for help.
The Commercial Club has APP

Ills Injuries Are Serious.

The ARDMoREITE regrets to state
that Mr.. Bratcher, who received
serious injuries a few days ago by
being struck by a moving train,
near the depot, is yet in a critical
condition. His most serious hurts
are on the head, hip and legs.
Mr.. Bratcher was unloading a car
at the time. and the approaching
train was unseen by him. One OF
his horses was also badly used up.

Territory Crime.

The conclusion Of the criminal
docket for this session Of the Unit
ed States district court here reveals
the fact that since the first day of
January, 1898, there have been
40 indictments found by the grand
juries in this district. At this
rate it makes a showing of $40
cases a year-a heavier showing
than any other criminal docket in
the United States.
This is not, given as a boast Of
the superabundanee OF crime in
the Indian Territory, but rather to
show the diligence and vigilance of
officers and jurors alike, which
other districts may do well to emu
