A RAILROAD ON THE MAP.

A railroad from Chickasha.
on the Rock Island. to Terrell,
Tex. on the Texas and Pacific,
would run through one of the
finest agricultural countries on
earth. From Chickasha it
could run along the great
Washita valley, the Nile of the
Indian Territory. to Erin
Springs and thence through
a magnificent country to Ard
more. and from Ardmore on to
Sherman or Denison, in Gray
son county. Texas, and thence
on through Collin. Rockwall
and Kaufman counties to Ter
rell, Tex, as rich and fertile an
agricultural country as can be
found in the South. From
Terrell the road could go to the
gulf, going through the finest
pine forests and cypress brakes
to be found in Texas. From
Chickasha the road could go up
through the Oklahoma country, g.,
Kansas and on to the great
Western markets.
Look at the map and see
how nearly a direct line this
road would be. 1t is not fan
ciful route at all. 1t Is a prac-
tical one. 1t runs through,
comparatively speaking. an
even and level country. The
road will be built some day,
and every citizen of Ardmore
should interest himself in bring
ing the route to the attention of
the railroad people as soon as
possible.

AN OUTRAGE ON the INDIANS.

Forcing the Chickasaw In
dians to give to the freedmen
and their descendants forty
acres of land each is the most
unjust and outrageous thing
the United States government
has ever been guilty of. 1t is
robbery pure and simple. The
government has just as much
right to make the Southern
states give to the negro forty
acres of land each as it has to
make the Chlckasaw Indians
do it. The federal government
freed the negroes in the first
place without any constitution
al authority. and now to make
the Indians give them forty
acres of land each is simply
outrageous.
In the treaty of 1866 this
question was submitted to the
Chickasaw Indians and they re
fused to ratify it, and have all
along refused to do so. The
Choctaws ratified it. and OF
course agreed to give the ne
groes forty acres of land.
The lands in this Territory
belong to the Indians. They
traded lands in Mississippi,
Tennessee and Florida to the
United States government for
it, and the government has no
right to thus make them give
forty acres each to the negroes
It is one of the numerous out
RACES that have been perpetrat-
ed upon the Indians by Repub-
Iican legislation, and the In
dians ought to fight it to the
bitter end.

Failed 20 Return to the Reception.
The man is a bachelor who has
passed the half century post. He
has a large circle of acquaintance.
He would be in a social function ev-
cry night if he had the opportunity.
He is fond of young folks. Some
times they are fond Of him. Two
persons, a young woman and a
young man, preferred to be alone
and sought an unobserved nook, ae
they thought, in the house, where
the reception was brilliant one.
The old bachelor saw them They
saw him, but not in time.
I'VE shall be rid of him in ten
minutes if you will excuse me when
1 ask him to my room" said the
young man.
When time was up, the young
man introduced the subject of dogs.
The bachelor prided himself on his
knowledge of animals. The young
man told of his dog and wanted the
bachelor to see him. They were ex-
oused and went to the young mans
room in the adjacent building. The
dog was a Dane and great in
strength. After the pedigree was
discussed the young man excused
himself for moment. AS he passed
by his dog he said to him, "Wstoh
him."
The young man returned to the
reception. There was no intrusion
after that. He was the young wom-
ans escort to her home, and her
home was two miles away. AS he
was leaving she asked, What be-
came of himi" meaning the baohe-
lor.
"I left him in my room"
The young nan returned to his
room and found the bachelor read
ing and evidently enjoying himself.
The sideboard was well stocked.
The young man was profuse in his
apologies. So many things had 90

asked. why did you remain hereG''
The bachelor put Gpa brave front.
He had become interested in book,
and the whisky was great, the Oh
gars were delicious. Then he said
he must go, and he did. The young
man saw him to the cab and said
the proper thing, and the bachelor
was off in the dark.
The young man returned to his
rooms, and his dog greeted him eff
fusively. His master stroked his
head and looked into his eyes and
said:

OKLAHOMA has produced a
white politician that can double

cent speech to the negroes at
Guthrie the Free Press quotes
him as saying:
Frank Greer spoke at some
length, with the text: The
Equality and Intelligence of
the Negro" He said: 1T was
the blawn and sinew, the intel
ligence and industry of the col
ored man that has made Okla
homa what 1t was, that in fact
had made the entire South what
it was. They have raised the
cotton, did the work and fur
nished the intelligence. They
are not only equal but superior
to the people of the South. 1t
was they to whom belonged the
credit of its great stride. The
white people of the South were,
however, becoming more intel
ligent and we're now following
close behind the negro; their
intelligence would in the course
of some years, at the present
gait. shine with equal brilliancy
to that of the colored man.

gives the following particulars
of the fighting near Malate on
July 31st:
Gen. Greene's force, number
ing 5000. had been advancing
and entrenching. The arrival of
the third expedition filed the
Spaniards with rage. and they
determined to give battle be-
fore Camp Dewey could be re-
inforced. The trenches extend
ed from the beach 300 yards, to
the left flank of the insurgents.
Sunday was the insurgent
feast day and their left flank
withdrew, leaving the American
right flank exposed.
Companies A and E of the
Tenth Pennsylvania and Utah
battery were ordered to rein
force the right flank.
In the midst of a raging ty-
phoon, with a tremendous
downpour of rain. the enemy's
forces, estimated at 5000 men,
attempted to surprise the camp.
Onr pickets were driven in and
the trenches assaulted.
The brave Pennsylvania men
never fiinched, out stood their
ground under a whitening fire.
| The alarm spread and the first
California regiment. with two
companies of the third artillery,
who fight with rifles, we're sent
up to reinforce the Pennsylva-
mans. The enemy were on top
of the trenches when these re-
Inducements arrived and never
was the discipline of the regu'
lars better demonstrated than
by the work of the third artill-
cry under Capt. O'Hara. Moth
ing could be seen but flashes of
Mauser rifles.
Men ran right up to the at
tacking Spaniards and moved
them down with regular volleys.
The Utah battery under Capt.
Young covered itself with glory
The men pulled their guns
through mud axle-deep. Two
guns we're sent around in flank
and poured in destructive fire.
The enemy were repulsed and
retreated in disorder. Our in
fantry had exhausted its am
munition and did not follow
the enemy.
Not an inch of ground was
, lost, but the scene in the
trenches was one never to be
: forgotten.
During flashes of lightning
the dead and wounded could be
seen lying in blood-red water,
but neither the elements OF
heaven nor the destructive
power of man could wiring q

rades to fight and handed over
their cartridge belts.

SWUNG UP TO DEATH.
Tragic cuImInstIoa of ths Orr Murder
Case--FIve Negroes Lynched
by Mob.

Little Rock. Ark. Aug. H.
Last Saturday night John L.
Orr was assassinated while
making a glass pf lemonade.
He had just returned from
choir practice, where his wife
was organlst. The crime was
shrouded in mystery until Miss
Morris told somebody that she
knew who fired the shot. A
coroner's inquest resulted in
the arrest of five negroes and
Mrs. Orr and a warrant for
Miss Morris. 1t is charged that
the wife hired the negroes to do
the murder. Orr's life was in
sured for 5000 and it was
shown at the inquest that Orr
and his wife lived unhappily.
Mr.. Orr was a theatrical man.
In 1890 the couple eloped to a
summer resort in Wisconsin
and were married. Later tLey
settled in Clarendon where Orr
prospered in business and was
considered wealthy at the time
of his death.
Five negroes are hanging
from the limbs of trees near the
railroad station and the widow
is dead in her cell. This is the
tragic denouement of the assas
sination of John 7. Orr. The
wife died from a dose of poison
Sc administered, while the ne
groes, her associates in crime
were strung up by a mob o1
citizens. Four bodies. two meI
and two women, are hanging tC

the telegraph Office, and few
