Officers McLemore and Tucker

Lemore, however, very. soon

his previous record in Texas.
Sheriff Patton says he is a very

BANK STATEMENT
Following is the New York banl
statement for week ending April 16:
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, April 16.-The response
to our break of 3 cents per bushel
Yesterday was an advance in Live
pool today of half q penny, while
Paris was also higher. Undoubtedly
these foreign markets are affected
by the near approach of what seems
war on the part of this country and
they are afraid of their nearby sup
ply. Ocean freights are up q cent
from Boston, which explains some
of the advance. They accepted al
the cash offers from this country this
morning and bought options freely.
New York was cents for July over
Chicago. Notwithstanding the bril-
liant prospects of the southwest,
which promise an overwhelming
crop, southwestern markets were
strong on purchases for foreign &C
count. At the top frightened short
covered, and the market is in shape
for Ection and reaction with proba-
bly, good trading outlook.
Corn-Early the acceptances by
country were light, but on the later
advance offerings were free. Foreign
acceptances were also good. The
market advanced and generally ruled
Arm.
Oats-Oats were active; half nil.
lion of May bought, supposed for
Letter. The east bought, though
cash cargo business was out of line.
Spot demand good at 1-4c advance.
Professionalism on some buying

sold ribs. Cash demand good.

man, Bowman and Ledbetter.
will proceed so the completion
of their task, l. @. perfecting
the details and arranging for II
city election.
The fact that no advalorem
tax can be levied on personal
property has discouraged some
Of the people who otherwise
would have favored incorpora-
ton. This objection is eliml-
mated by the provision which
gives the city magistrate au-
thority to try all matters which
may come before the United
States commissioner, and it is
probable that he will have pow
ers beyond the commissioner.
From this source vast revenues
will accrue, almost enough to
defray all expenses of the city
government. Added to this
will be the income from occu-
patton taxes, which may be
collected.
On the whole the outlook for
town government is bright. 1t
may be stated here that without
doubt by the time the eleventh
anniversary of Ardmore's birth
is celebrated the metropolis of
the Indian Territory will be
a full-fiedged Incorporated city.

afternoon granting the prayer
of more than 600 petitioners,
residents of Ardmore. for the
right to incorporate the city of
Ardmore. as a the city of the see
ond class, in accordance with
the provisions Of the statutes
governing such matters.
At 2:30 o'clock Mr.. Eddie
man presented the petition and
cited the authorities upon which
the action was based. He briefly
outlined the advantages to &C
crue from such an order.
Following this, W. B. John
son. representing the Chicka-
saw nation, presented a protest
from the Chickasaw govern
ment, and entered at length in
to a discussion of difficulties in
the way of incorporation from
a legal stand point and also
urged the general objection of
the Indians to such action. Mr..
johnson has made a close study
of the Indian question, and was
consequently prepared to make
the strongest possible fight for
his client. During his argu-
ment he accorded the respect
full attention of both court and
audience.
The final argument for the
petitioners was made by W. A.
Ledbetter, whose work In be-
half of what is termed the pro-
gressive element in the Indian
Territory is too well known to
need any comment. In a clear.
convincing manner he replied
to the protest and took occasion
to suggest some Of the many
benefits he believed would ac-
crue from incorporation.
AS Mr.. Ledbetter's last words
died away, the crowd began
huddling closer about the
Judges bench. expecting to
hear something interesting.
And they were not disappoint-
ed.
Judge Townsend was en-
phatic in the expression of his
opinion that his court had pow
or and jurisdiction to incorpor-
ate the town. He said it seem
ed to him that every public
spirited man ought to favor in
corporation, and that he be-
lieved the incorporation of the
town would be of great benefit
to the people. This announce
ment by the judge was greeted
with hearty applause.
The law today on the subject
of incorporation of towns in the
Indian Territory is just what il
has been ever since May 2, 1898.
1t has not been changed a par
ticle. and during all that time
the towns in the territory could
have been incorporated.
Yesterday the Chickasaw ma.
ton appeared through its coun
sci and made an open fight
against the incorporation of the
town. but Judge Townsend
overruled all opposition anC
made known his determination
to incorporate the town in un
mistakable terms. By so d ,
ing he has made himself pub
! lie benefactor, and every Law
. abiding citizen in the Southern
district should congratulate,
} him. The Indian government
cannot possibly be hurt by tn,
incorporation Of the towns. AM
and the individual Indians re
: siding in the towns will be ben
eftted just as other people O
e the towns are benefited; and
!, is conceded that the Indian

OH GREEN HORN.

Some of the friends have very
often asked us why we do not write
every week? Why any one should
wish it is beyond our ken. One
main reason is that we dislike to
inhict such a punishment on the
rood people as that of reading one
OF our ridiculous articles so often.
As to news there is scarcely enough
TO afford material for a half col
umn once month.
War is now the one thing that is
cagroSsing the attention of nearly
every one. We hear nothing
talked of except the war with
Spain. Although war is a thing
much to be deplored, yet we can
not help feeling deep interest in
it. Neither can we help feeling
proud of the glorious record being
made by our brave sailors and SOL
dier-.
Just now every one seems to he
intensely patriotic, or at least one
would think so by their talk, but
nearly all seem to want to take ad-
vantage of this unfortunate state OF
affairs, and make all the money
out of it they possibly can. Is
there any good reason why the
necessaries of life should become
dearer? They are plentiful and
should be cheap, and as yet no tax
has been imposed upon them, or If
has been imposed it is not yet IN
operation, but as soon as war be-
Gan to be talked of the prices be-
can to 90 up. So we are forced to
believe that it is nothing but the
rapacitv and greed of the dealers
that is causing this. They are
simply taking advantage OF this
state of affairs to lob the people.
The political pot is beginning to
boil. and as matter of course a
Great deal of scum will rise to the
TOP. which should be proptly skim
med off.
Some of our citizens are so pa
triotic that they can not tolerate
ANYTHING that If called Spanish.
# / rumored that one of our lead
inr citizens was the owner OF a
black Spanish rooster which he re-
uorts became quite demonstrative
aroud the barnyard since this
trouble with Spain began. This
