the champion dsentanSler OF shoestrlnS
townships and is spreading himself win 1t
proposition introduced i'll the shape Oh Il
bill TODAY to embrace the Indian Terri
tory. including all of the lands of the five
civilized tribes. in Oklahoma Territory.
The capital to remain at Guthrie; ter
rtorial officers of oklahoma are TO be the
officers of the new territory; the land 10 be
attached to Oklahoma is to be divided into
six counties, to be named Ouapaw, Chero-
kee. Chickasaw, Choctaw. Creek and Sem
mole. the present capitals of the nations of
those names to be county seats. and Miami
to be the county seat of the new Qua
paw county, and the territory to be di-
vided into five judicial districts. The GRIM
inal and civil jurisdiction and the procedure
of the district courts of the territory thus
created are to be the same as now liked
for Oklahoma.
The new territory is to pe entitled to
one delegate in congress, and the ieSisla-
ture is to consist of council OF twenty
five members thirteen from the present
Oklahoma and twelve frcm the present In
dian Territory, the house to consist of
twenty-six from the former and twenty
one from the latter. The act is not to he
construed to affect the tribal relations or
rights of any Indian tribes. The Oklahoma
laws are to govern the new territory.
The bill emanated from the Indian lobby.
1t is simply one of those measures intro
duced for the purpose of throwing dust
in the eyes of congress. 1t is one of the
well known tactics of the obstructioniSts
to confuse: make trouble. present conflict
ing claims and argue for them; demand
hearings from committees and look injur-
ed. put up pitiful poor Lo' face, and
finally put up sufficient cash to cover the
space not covered by the bewildering tao
tics.
Whether Delegate Callahan is a party to
the scheme is not known. He could he bum
coed and handled in that way just easily
as in any other. He is inclined to introduce
almost anything that may come along. The
bill means nothing and is simply one of the
wads of the lobby fired at congress to

A BLOODY DEED.
michael Seipel Fatally Wounds His
Divorced Wife and Dies.

divorced "11e ana Dies.
Mrs. Ida j. Seipel, while getting
breakfast at her home in Persia, was
fatally shot by her divorced husband,
Michael Seipel. Seipel ran from the
house to barn, climbed into the hay
NOW and shot himself through the
heart, dying instantly. Mrs. Seipel was
shot three times, and there is little
chance for her recovery.
Mrs. Seipel was married to Seipel in
Omaha August 20, 1888. At that time
Seipel was well-to-do business man
in Nicola, but from the story as set forth
in the petition for divorce filed by Mrs.
Seipel their domestic troubles began
within two weeks after the marriage.
Several times Mrs. Seipel left him on
account of his brutality, but was in
duced to return by promises of reform.
Finally, August ~, 1897, she entered
suit for divorce. She secured a decree
of divorce by default and was awarded
the custody of the only child, her eight
year-old daughter.

CROWDS HISS zoLA.
Col. Picqunrt's Testimony duplicates
Mai. EsterhaZy.

Mai. Esterhazy.
Paris, Feb. 12.-There were the usual
crowds about the assizes court of the
Seine Friday when the fifth day of the
trial of NM. lola and Perreux COM
menced. NJ. lola and Col. Picquart
were greeted with Kisses and hostile
cries on their arrival. Gen. Pellieux
concluded mis- testimony. On Gen. Pei
lieux leaving the stand M. lola rose and
exclaimed: There are several ways of
serving France. You, general, made
your campaigns; but / will bequeath to
posterity the name of Emile lola, and
posterity will be my judge"
Col. Picquart was then calledand mar
rated how he had acquired fragments
of telegraphic card in 1896, and con-
cluded therefrom that Maj. Esterhazy
was corresponding with suspicious
characters. He procured some of Maj.
Esterhazy's handwriting, which, COM
pared with certain documents, led to
the conclusion that Maj. Esterhazy was
improperly using official papers.
Col. Picquart emphatically denied
Gen. Pellieux' statement of Thursday
that he had divulged an espionage af-
fair to outsiders. He candidly admitted
sending an agent to Maj. Esterhazy's
apartments, but he pointed out that at
the time Maj. Esterhazy's flat was adj
vertised to let, and his agent only
brought him an unimportant Letter
which. however, served for a compari-
son of handwriting. The agent, how
ever, reported that a number of letters
had been burned in the fireplace.
The witness concluded with stat
ing that the intrigues of the officials of
which he had been the victim had been
aimed to prevent him from demonstrate
ing the guilt of Maj. Esterhazy.
M. Laborie questioned Col. Picquart
regarding the secret document, and the
witness said: 81 knew of the existence
of the secret document, but 1 only saw
it when Gen. Pellieux showed it to- me-"
The witness could not give any further
particulars on account of professional
secrecy"
Maj. Ravary was the next witness. M.
Laborie reproached him with improper
ly conducting the Esterhazy inquiry, to
which the major replied: military JUS
tice is not conducted like yours" The
remark caused murmuring in the court,
which was then adjourned.
At the conclusion of his evidence Col.
Picquart met with an enthusiastic re-
ception from the public. There were
cries of 'Vive Picquart!" and "Vive
Farmee!" in which many of the law
yers joined. The higher military Off
GERS were visibly annoyed at the effect
of Col. Picquart's testimony. Col.
Picquart was the best witness for M.
lola thus far heard. His evidence was
very damaging to his superior officers
and favorable to Dreyfus, and it also
showed him to have been the victim of
prosecutions since he began his endeav-
or to probe the truth.
The mob outside the court gave a
conflicting reception to Col. Picquart.
There was a tremendous tumult and a
few ''boos" for NJ. lola, but there was
no serious incident. M. Zola's carriage
on leaving the Palais de Justice was fol-
lowed by knot of people, shouting:
"Death to Zola!" who could be heard
through the carriage windows exclaim-
ing: "The cowards!"
