GUTHRIE. o. T.. April 29.-(special)
Word reached this city to-day that Mac

to bring about reversal of the verdict of
guilty or Communication of the sentence.
Governor Barnes, as well as Governor

Diaz, praying for clemency, and evidently

INDIAN TERRITORY INTRUDERs

sPRINGER's DECISION STANDS
INTERIOR DEPARTMENT CAN DO
NOTHING FOR THEM.
Intruders' Wanted the Operation of
Judge springcr's Order Suspend

Rule on Case Now
Pending There.

WASHINGTON. April 29.-(Special) The
intruders in the Indian Territory are en-
deavoring to persuade the interior depart
ment to give ruling in opposition to the
decision made in their cases by Judge
Springer Judge Springer decided that the
intruders had no property rights in the In
dian Territory, despite the fact that their
citizenship cases were still pending before
the United States supreme court, and that
they must relinquish the land which they
were occupying to those who have been
adjudged legally entitled to take it up. The
intruders want the department to hold the
ruling of Judge Springer's court not to be
operative until after decision shall have
been rendered in the citizenship cases by
the supreme court. The following reply of
Secretary Ryan, to a letter from NJ. NJ.
Edmiston, which is a fair type of those be-
ing received, will serve to show the atti-
tude of the department. The ruling of the
department takes away the last hope of the

tion for the educa-
tion of Catholic priests was placed under
the control of the state. The state was
given the power to depose any Catholic
priest whose sermons seemed dangerous to
the preservation of established laws.
From the judges of the German courts
came Bismarck's first setback. They de-
clared certain of the new laws unconstitu-
tional Meanwhile the Catholic bishops
and priests were going TO prison rather
than sacrifice their principles. KrementZ
was among them. His predecessor as
archbishop of Cologne spent six months in
Jail. Meanwhile it was found that En-
peror Wilhelm, himself a man of deep re-
ligious feeling, had had little heart in the
Kulturkampf from the first
The feeling among the leading men of
Prussia was also turning towards the
Catholics and the Catholic party in the
reichstag became stronger. Bismarck him
self began to see that he was lighting a
losing battle. .t5.l-.
But not until the reign of the present en-
peror Wilhelm did the Kulturkampf final
ly come to an end Concessions on both
sides and finally a visit of state paid by
Wilhelm to Pope Leo III. at Rome marked
its ending.
In all the controversy Krementz had
played a prominent part. Largely to his
influence is the friendly feeling between
the present emperor and his Catholic SUBJ
jects ascribed.

To w. s. Smith and seventy-eieht
other petitioners: Gentlemen-In
reply to your petition for me to
become candidate for alderman
froln the 1st ward, | regret to say
that my business affairs are such
that l am forced to decline your
request But in doing so am
very deeply impressed with this
evidence of your confidence, and l
wish to herein express to you my
very high appreciation of tke same.
Il would further say in this con-
nection that among the number of
good men already announced, and
perhaps others yet to come, l feel
that the voters will be able to select
a council in whose hands the in
terest of the city will be safe.
Upon the question of public schools
the people have spoken at the bal
lot box. and the mandamus died
a-bornin'," thus eliminating all
questions of controversy, so that
there need be no serious differences
along these lines. believe every
good citizen desires to promote the
best interests of Ardmore, and to
do this we must not become
cranks" upon any one question,
nor become narrow in our views.
Let the council levy conservative
tax for all purpOses-schools, sew
erage, streets, etc., and this tax
need not be so large as to alarm
the big taxpayer or so small as to
allow the city to become a howling
waste. We must not divide up
into factions, but harmonize our
views for the greatest good to the
greatest number" of our people.
Again thanking you, | am respect
fully, A. j. WOLVERToN.

Substantial Prosperity.

There are many proofs of Ard
more's prosperity. One of the
most satisfactory of these is the
work lately undertaken by the Ard
more Mill and Elevator Co., sue
cessOrs to Thomas & Plummer.
This company now has in course
of construction a large grain ele-
vatOr. The excavation for the
foundation has been made and the
masonry will be placed next week
The excavation is six feet deep, and
is 30x40 feet. The elevator will
be Al feet high. and will have a
capacity of 35, 900 to 40, 900 bush
els of grain.
The mill will shortly be complete
ly remodeled. New land improved
machinery will be added, so as to
give the plant a capacity of 200
barrels of excellent -four per day.
Mr.. Floyd, the local manager,
said to the reporter yesterday that
during the summer the company
would make other improvements
and additions to the plant, and
that the intention was to give Ard
more the best enterprise of the
kind in the Indian Territory. The
town is to be congratulated upon
the acquisition of such a represen-
tative and energetic company as
this. With plenty of capital to
carry out its plans, and with ample
experience to aid in making the
proper moves, there is no doubt
that the company of which Mr..
Floyd is the Ardmore representa-
tive will give our people all that
can be desired in its line.

mustn't tell. You'll go and put
it in the paper, and that would take
away the charm of mystery which
the name possesses. But the en-

girls, who will exert themselves to
please the big crowd that is sure to
greet them. Then Ardmore's best
vocalists and musicians will con-
tribute their part, and with other
features, which we can't outline

to quite equal and surpass the ex
pectations of the patrons"

secret away. But the best part of
