NORTHERN DISTRICT
Justice to PrIsonerB-The jail Is Now
Crowded with Them-They
Would Plead Guilty.

The following was published in
yesterdays Ft. Smith News-Record.
1t shows q condition of affairs in the
northern district that ia worse, If
possible, than in the days of Fort
Smith and Paris jurisdiction:
"There are now 202 prisoners lying
in the Muskogee Jail awaiting trial.
some for minor feIonies. Many of
them would enter plea of guilty
rather than wait three or four months
for a trial.
What is the matter?
"Some will say tie courts are in
adequate to handle the amount of
business sent up by the commission
ers. Be that as it may, these people
are entitled to an immediate and
speedy trial, and the two judges of
this, the Northern district, are now
absent, either on business or on
vacation, while those poor fellows
are languishing in Jail, unable either
to give bond or get trial. It is hard
for persons in this country to make
bond, owing to the fact that no
real estate will be accepted by the
authorities, and many good men who
get into trouble have to 60 to jail.
A term of court six months long,
working eight to ten hours a day
would clean up the docket and give
civil cases a chance. Under the
present modus opersndi, the civil
business is practically driven from the
district courts, there now being cases
on the docket that were placed there
during Judge Shackelford's regime.
Passing the rights of the litigantl
what is going to become of the attor-
ney, who has invested his money in q
good education and a library, and
who has to sit idle. unable to get q
hearing for his client?
Again, it is claimed that economy
will not permit the extension o.
courts, yet the government is day by
day piling up expenses by uselessly
keeping over two hundred prisoner
in Jail waiting trial, and almost elimi
mating the civil practice from th'
courts. This article is not intended
to attack any individual, but Ger
tainly something should be done
Either more courts should be estab
lished or those now In existanc
should run continuously until th'
dockets are cleaned. up. p."-Capital

Thanks for Curtis.

"Congressmau Curtis, the father
of the BILL" says q prominent Cher
okee, observes the thanks of the
Indian people for the fairness Of bis
bill, for protecting the interest of the
fullblood Indians and common peo-
pie in the territory; and especially
should St. Louis remember this gen.
tleman long and kindly, for his bill
opened up q country of more COM
mercial value to that city than Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippine islands
all combined. No one yet seems to
realize the great Importance of the
measure. The Spanish American
imbroglio has covered its vast
ness up for awhile, but q short
time will develop the wonderful ef
fects of the bill. Lots of our people
now want statehood Immediately
not with Oklahoma attached, how
ever. Under the provisions of thi
act-tbe Curtis bill-this country il
a safe place for investors-tha Law
protects all down here now-whil
heretofore, under Indian laws out
side capital was timid, and thi
change of itself will cause unheard
of development and inaugurate In
dustries in the Indian Territor
that will produce millions of dollars
The climate is excellent and the till
able lands are as fine a. on earth

used with good effect by the Oubans

diers in an attack on the trocha be-
tween Las Villas and Camaguay,
which was defended by 1000 Span

and about 13O Cubans. Many were
wounded on both sides.

THE OLD
 SILVER TRAIL.
BY MARY E. STICKNEY.
Continued from Yesterday3

She was reused from her revery by scraping of chairs on the wooden side walk outside the window, and. remind ed of the walk she had been going to take, was starting upstairs to fetch her hat, when she was diverted from the purpose again by the remark of an un- seen speaker, who had just established himself there in the shade.
 ''Pears like that horse of Neil's is kinder goin' back on him." he drawl- ingly observed, puHctuatirg the re- mark by Q sibilant expectoration of tobacco juice far out into the street. He does have such luck, that feller. Seems like everything is jest natchelly foreordained to go back on him the min ute he gifts aiolt of it.
 Sandy, though, never loses his grip" another voice lazily supplemented, ac- cepting the first statement as beyond argument. Speaking of that, ,how's that case of his with the colonel comin' out, d'you think?'
 ''Well, ain't bettin' on that at this stage of the gaIne," was the response, in a tone expressive of the speakers confidence that he was cannily up to snuff; "but if l was, my money would go down on the colonel, sure. He's a bird, that old duffer. If you have any dealins with him you want to git up pretty early in the mornin' 'n' hang on to the end of the rope that's got the knot in it, or it will be siippin' through your finrgrs with q now-you-see-it'n n now Fl 1r,st toll ok To Gould con.in' out here to Colorado m i;urnE Ein' 2 hull railroad. tell yor Thy wan ii3 it side of Col.

ABOU BEN ADHEM AND THE
 ANGEL.

 Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe in crease) AWoke one night from a deep dream of peace And saw within the moonlight in his room, Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom, An angel writing in a book of gold:- Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold, And to the Presence in the room he said, What writest thou?"-The vision raised it's head, And with a look made Of all sweet ac- cord, Answer'd, ''The names of those who love the Lord" And is mine cne?" said Abou. May. not so,' Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low, But cheerily still; and said, T pray taee, then, Write ne as one that loves his fellow men" The angel wrote and vanished. The next night It came again with a. great wakening light, And sl1ow'G the names whom love or God had bless'd, And To, Ben Adh3r's name led all the rest.

'n' then he'd go to law 'n' beat the preacher n the hull congregation. " now he's took a fancy to jump the l looil .,t ...'
 ''i't:t the colonel 'ain't got no case,'' argued the other. dispassionately. You l&aw how twas. Never q smell of mineral iE the Grubstake till they relocated. tloppin' round the side lines sos to take i'll the Aiascot's best ground D
 Well, 1 aint for arguin' about that. All I'm sayin' is that the colonel says the veilfs his'n, n what the colonel says generally goes with ;a jury. I've no- ticed. He's got a way with him that seems to catch 'em."
 Catches 'em in their pockets, laughed the other apprcciatively.
 Sure. N if Neil thinks he's playin' against a square game-well, probably he knows better'n that. Everybody knows what the colonel is. N when it comes to goin' to law ag'inst hinl-well, Neil's bitten off more'n he can chaw. in my opinion" And here for the mo- ment the argument paused.
 Dorothy turned away from the win dow, walking the length of the room, where she stopped, blankly staring al group of enlarged photographs mass ively framed in black walnut, faces so unprepossessing that in an undercur- rent of thought she was dully marvel ing that ian:ily affection could be so lacking iii ialnily pride as thus to ex- rose them 10 public view. But, while striving to believe that the conversation to which she had just listened had left her wholly unmoved, that she held it as altoget her beneath her notice, She knew that she was trembling with angry excitement. She fairly burned with wild desire to go out and silence those calUInn iating tongues with such scathlng Icproach as now in her per turbation she could hardly compose in her own mind. It was monstrous. i1,- credible, that she should be called 10 listen to such arrant falsehood, such un- questionable islander. She was almost blinded with the anger that possessed her as she stood there determinedly staring at that ill-favored group of pho- ' {, what calmer, it was straight back to the window that she went. Woman-like, she could not resist the impulse to know the worst that might be said.
 Sine had no compunction of COIL science in thus playing the role of caves dropPer. So far as she thought about it at all in her distulb bed condition of mind, it was to argue that a conversa- ton thusscarried on on tie public side walk could hardly assume to be private iE it's nature. As ill honor bound, she coughed slightly to give notice of her presence as sine resumed her seat: but the cough was very gentle, and. if she had been disposed to self-examination she must have owned herself relieved when presently the voices went on un- heedingly.

He writes off to the colonel to give him bond 'n' lease on the Grubstake. n that puts the colonel onto the fact that the old claim might be wuth so'thin', n over he comes n looks the ground over, n they fix up some kiEd of a deal between 'eIn- McCready is surerintend- ent of the mine, m up he goes sinkin' a shaft in the toughest ground ever but that don't feaze McCready. He knows what he's about. 'N' pretty soon he's driftin' straight in the direction of that little no-account crack in the Mas. cot hangin' wall, 'n' all of sudden there he is with both feet He's struck q true Assure vein that he must nacheliy foller right across the Mascot's richest ground. Oh, I tell you twas McCready engineered that deal.''
 'But I notice that the colonel wasn't for givin' back anythin' when Neil come claimin' that the ore was his'n,' , rejoined the other voice, dryly. But I s,pose McCready was at the bottom of the job, just the same. He's always had it in for Neil along of that dynamite business"
 "Yes; he's sore about that-and no wonder. It was clos't shave for Me Greatly. If the union hadn't "a put in it's best licks to save him, reckon he'd a been in states prison now, instead of swellin' round as superintendent of the Grubstake. Though, $ fur as that goes, I never quite believed he done it.''
