The first thing the city fathers
Of Ardmore should do is to have
the city thoroughly cleaned up.
A good healthy sanitary condi-
ton is worth more to the city
than all the streets. 1t is we'll
to put the streets in good condi-
tion, but above all things make
the health of the city as good as
conditions will allow. The name
of having a clean. healthy town
will be worth more to the place
than anything else.

Territory Stockmen.

The Texas Stock and Farm
Journal contains the following
paragraphs this week which will
be interesting to stockmen:
Sam Sherwood of Ryan. l. T.,
was here Wednesday.
F. M. Weaver. the we'll known
cattleman OF this city, returned
from his ranch near Chickashs
Monday and left for Chicago Tues
day night.
w. R. Moore, manager of the
cotton seed oil mill at Ardmore,
|. T., and A. j. Boyce, manager
of the Capital syndicate, were
among the visiting stockmen Mon
day.
J. H. Parramore and C.. W.
Merchant, both prominent stock
men of Abilene, Tex, spent
Wednesday in Fort Worth, leav-
ing Wednesday night for their
pastures in the Indian Territory
These gentlemen expect to COM
mence shipping fat cattle from
their territorial pastures within the
next few days.
w. E. Washington, a promi-
nent cattleman of Marietta, l. T.,
after spending Tuesday in Fort
Worth, left for San Antonio. 1t
is Mr.. Washington's intention to
make an extensive trip through
Western Texas on a prospecting
tour. He, like many other Indian
Territory cattlemen; recognizes the
fact that his days are numbered as
far as ranching In the Indian Ter
ritory is concerned, and conse-
quently is on the lookout for a
good location in Texas.
VIM. Washington, the well
known stockman of the Indian
Territory, was in San Antonio
Wednesday on his way west. Mr..
Washington, it will be remember
ed, sold some 5000 head of steers
to Ike Pryor some time ago, and
afterwards bought them back at
an advance of something like So
per head, as will be noted in the
sales elsewhere in this issue. This
expresses fully Mr.. Washington's
views as to the outlook for beef
and his views are eminently
worthy of careful consideration.
He left Wednesday afternoon on
the Southern Pacific, where he
will spend about a week on busi-
ness.

FREQUENTLY inquiries are
made at the ARDMoREITE Office
for copies of the Atoka treaty.
1t can be found in the pamphlet
known as the Curtis bill, issued
as a supplement to the DAILY
and WEEKLY ARDMoREITE, and
sent out free to subscribers. IT
begins on page Is. just after
section 80 of the Curtis bill
proper. If this treaty or agree
ment is ratified on the oath by
the Indians it becomes the law,
to govern the alloting of the
territory, with all that part of
the Curtis bill which does not
conflict with said agreement or
treaty. Excepting the sanction
ing of CRYING the freedmen forty
acres of land. the treaty is far
better than the Curtis bill, and
is far more Ineligible. The
Curtis bill gives the freedmen
forty acres just as the treaty
does, tie only difference being,
if the treaty is adopted the In
dians ratify the gift and shut off
all suit to test the constitution
ality of the law. Otherwise, to
our mind. the treaty is by far
the best thing for the Indian.

Watson To Join Dewey.

1t has been pretty definitely
settled that several big ships
will go to Manila to reinforce
Admiral Dewey and allow the
withdrawal of some of his ves-
sells which need dry docking.
The understanding in naval
circles is that some ships will
go to the Philippines, no matter
what may be the outcome of the
peace situation, but a large
naval force will proceed to
Spain if the Spanish answer
necessltates a severance of the
present dealingswith the Madrid
ministry through Cambon. It
is intended to send Commodore
Watson's squadron. as now
composed, to join Admiral
Dewey if the peace commits
sloners are named. The arrival
of the Monterey at Manila on
August 4 has already given
Admiral Dewey a formidable
force.

common people of Central and

which are always having inter

ton and the science of civil and

common negroes are, and we
know they are incapable of local
self-government. The Cubans

IHE ARDMOREITE Is informed
that renters and leasers of agri
cultural and grazing lands in
the Territory are claiming that
they have the same right, under
the Curtis bill, to locate on lands
that Indians have. and many of
them are actually selecting their
lands, saying they will not pay
rents any longer. This is ride
ulous. How any sensible anu
honest man can get such an idea
into his head we can't under
stand. The Curtis bill nowhere
says such a thing, and no one is
authorized to make such a state
ment. No one but the Indian
by blood and by marriage to an
Indian is entitled to lands, and
they are entitled to hold and
lease or rent about 500 acres
each until the allotment is made.
Hhe renter has no right to locate
on land at all except with the
consent of the citizen (Indian)
who owns the improvements.
The improvements = fencing,
houses, etc.-belOng to the citi-
zen who put them on the land
or bought them, and the Curtis
bill says the improvements shall
be paid for by the Indian citi-
zen who selects said land for an
allotment. No renter can hold
the land and not pay rent on it
If he tries it he will be arrested
and fined heavily or imprisoned.
The rents on all lands except
what the Indian citizen is enti-
tied to (about 500 acres each)
is required to be paid into the
United States treasury under
rules and regulations to be pre-
scribed by the secretary of the
interior. We trust this is plain
enough to keep renters from
getting themselves into trouble.
The ARDMOREITE respectfully
submits the following to the
sensible merchants of Ardmore.
There is something in it worthy
Of consideration:
1t costs the Royal Baking
Powder Co. something like
$500,00O annually for adYertis
ing. Some one once suggested
to the company that it discon-
tinue advertising one year, the
baking powder was so we'll
known and advertised. and place
that amount. 100000, in the
profits. The answer was that it
would undoubtedly cost the
company three times that
amount to get the product in its
original channels again. This
is a pretty good pointer to those
business men who imagine they
are making a great saving when
they discontinue a 81 or $6-a-
month advertisement a few
months in dull season. 1t never
pays to tear out a dam because
the water is low.-Kimball
Graphic.
Most live merchants-those
who have made remarkable sue
cess in their business-adver-
tise the year round. 1t pays to
do it for tv reasons. First,
your name is kept before the
public and everybody feels that
they know you. and they learn
to believe what you say; and
second. by advertising by the
year you can secure space much
cheaper-frnm Is to 25 per cent
cheaper.

An arab Preyerb.

Who can affirm that the mule enter
ed the jug?
This provcrb is frequently quoted
to show that, though one may consci-
cautiously believe in thing which may
seem e%Ntravagant in itself, it is better
not to repeat it from fear of being dis
believed. 1t arises from the following
Arabic legend: An Arab, who denied
the existence of gcnii bought a mule
and took it home. When performing
his evening additions he saw the mule
enter a jug, and this so scared him
that he ran shouting to the neighbors
and told them what he had seen; they,
thinking him mad, %cndeavored to APP
reasc him, but all in vain; he vocif-
Grated more and more, so that the au-
thorities sent him to the. m%adhousc.
When the doctor came to sec him he
repeated the account of what he had
seen, whereupon the doctor ordered
him to be detained. He continued,
upon each visit Of the doctor, to re-
peat his statement, until his friends
succeeded in pers Aading him that, if
he wished to regain his freedom. he
would have to rccant. This he did,
and the doctor set him ut liberty, to
the great JOY Of his family and friends.
On making his additions as before he
again saw the mule, but on this occa-
sion he contentcd himself with re-
marking to the mule: ooh, yes, l see
you we'll enough. but who would be-
lieve me? And l have had enough of
the madhousc.' Needless to say that
the genii, to avenge themselves for his
disbelief in them, had transformed one
OF themselves into a mule and as such
entered the jug.

How He Shot.

y Texas military company was out
on the range recently. practicing ut
rifle shooting. The Lieutenant in
command suddenly became exaspcra-
ted at the poor shooting, and Selling
a gun from one of the %privates, cried
sharply:
"I'n show you fellows how to
shoot -
Taking a long aim, and u strong aim,
and an aim all together, he fired and
missed. Cody turning to the private
who owned the gun, he said
That's the way yen shoot"
He again loaded the Weapon and
missed. Turning to the second man
in the ranks, he remarked
That's the way you shoot
In this way he missed about 4: 1ozcn
times, illustrating to each soldier his
personal incapacity, and finally he ac-
ci%dcntally hit the target.
And that, he calculated. handing
the gun back to the private, Ks the
