A Telegram Which VerifIes the Message
Already Received From the BI, hop.
Yesterday morning report
seemed to be spreading that the
Methodist Conference would not
come to Ardmore, as announced
that it would in Fridays S
ARDMoREITE, and the persistent
manner in which the press of South
McAlester announced that its ses-
sion would surely be held at that
place, there being no small pox in
South McAlester, placed Rev. j.
M. Gross in (for the time) an en-
barrassing position. The matter
was very soon settled, however. to
his entire satisfaction by the receipt
of the following telegram:
SOUTH MCALEsTER, 1. T.
Oct. 21, 1899, $3.50 a. m.
Rev. ]. NJ. Gross, Ardmore, 1. T.
Prepare for conference. 1t can't
come here.
w. F. DUNKLE, Pastor.
This brief but emphatic message,
coupled with the telephone message
received from Bishop Key. which
was announced in Fridays ARD
MoREITE, should dispose of all re-
ports to the contrary.
AS we have already stated, the
misfortune of cur neighbor town
on the Katy, now afflicted with
virulent contagion, is responsible
for this change, aud the reception
which should be accorded those
distinguished visitors should at
least be as cordial as would have
been extended them at South Nc
Alester if conditions had been diff
ferent from what now exist.

Our Postmaster and the 'Possum

OuE FOSthHdStGT anu the FOSSum.
The ARDMOREITE man found
Postmaster Scott last night max
ing frantic efforts to scale a teIe-
phone pole, and we hastened for
an explanation. "Oh! | am just
practicing' he said, and of course
we asked for WHAT" He then
told us that 'possum time was near
at hand, that the first falling frost
was not many nights off, then
'possum meat was good, and he
must have some. He said the
telephone poles were quite "A con-
venience for him to practice tree
Ginning on; heretofore he had to
make annual trips to the country
at this particular time for that
purpose.
Yes he said, I'm watching
the weather pretty close now,' and
we walked away wondering if that
'possum business was not the
cause of him being q bald headed
bachelor.

viable record for prompt and cor

with character at once noble and
exemplary, in social circles her
friends are numbered by the score,

to love her.
The groom, w. A. Payne, is one

Smooth Foreheads Are Rare.

A pretty forehead is a possession to
value, as much of the character of the
face depends upon it. ANY forehead
must and can be free from Irregular
ties and wrinkles to be attractive.
Care should be taken in youth to
avoid the straight long lines on the
forehead which are brought on by
elevating the eyebrows. Look at the
middle-aged faces you meet each day
cnd mark the prevalence ofthese lines
just over the temples. In nine cases
out OF ten the remainder OF the face
will be smooth and youthful, but
those lines tell the tale of age. This
lifting of the eyebrows is senseless
trick, which is thought to give e1-
preston to the face. It is on a level
with the many other so-called tricks
of expression, really nothing more
than contortions of the facial muscles.
It is rare to find woman who can
carry on q conversation with an. even
countenance and without mods and
wags of the head.

A Creditors Hard Conditions.

An Iowa journal publishes copy
of note which was signed by citi-
z,n of De Mars, Louisiana; some
months ago. 1t was drawn up by
lawyer who was weary of continual
applications for loans by men who
did not repay By the note the bor-
rover agreed that if it was not paid at
maturity his creditor might levy on
everything he possessed, and might
sell it, Clown tomyl last suit of clothes,
the school books and food OF my chill
dren, with the coffin OF cofins in
which any of my family may be buried,
and if after everything possess has
been sold there still remains e balance
due on the note, agree that the SER
vices of myself and family shall be
sold until such time as the demands
of the note are satisfied. I further
agree to live on coru bread and sor-
ghum molasses until the demands Of
the note are satisfied" When any
one came to the lawyer to borrow
money this note was offered him to
sign, and the lawyer says that many
o. the borrowers actually signed 1t.
Some signed without reading and were
horrifei when it was read over to
them. 1t must be that they were in
very urgent II :el ofmoney before they
would consent to such conditions, but
there were some who did not care
what the conditions were 80 long as
they could get the money for present

Tho Hintloo Fools Day.

In Hindoostan the natives have
custom which dates back to prehistoric
times, of holding a Hull festival on
the 31st Of March, in which mirth
finds outlet in deceiving men, women
and children by sending them on
fruitless errands, or in making them
believe in something that does not
really exist, thus causing them to ap-
pear extremely ridiculous. In Ireland
there are proofs that similar custom
existed long before a written Ian
guage, for in the ancient traditions
handed down from prehistoric times
there can be found evidences Of some
such fooling. That many nations have
believed the custom to be sort OF
facetious remembrance of our first
parents fall, is found IN the old joke
of sending person to buy or borrow,

Even the Kope WAS Insured.

The business of insurance seems to
embrace nearly every imaginable risk.
A. youth who stood watching three
giants hoist piano into the third
story of house with block and tackle
remarked to the languid man who
bossed the job: :I'd laugh to see that
rope break" $50 would I, replied
the man. "The ropes insured. Every
week an agent inspects it. If it ever
breaks the insurance company pays
for what is smashed. So you see it's
nothing to me whetheN. the old thing
breaks or not In fact, I'd like to see
her break with q good, valuable piano
like this in tow. I've paid so blamed
much money into these insurance COM
panies I'd like to make them fork over

The great sorrow of George Dewey's
life came in 1872. While on his first
cruise on the European station as COM
mander of ship, the news came that
son had been born to him. Five
days later Dewey received the saddest
cable message of his life. It told him
that his wife was dead. For q long
time Dewey was inconsolable.. More
than one Of his friends thought his
career had ended with the cablegram
announcing his vife's death.
His son, who is now in New York,
was named George Goodwin Dewey
in honor of his father.
From 1872 to 1876 he superintended
the Pacific Coast survey. He was
made captain in 1884 and chief Of the
Bureau Of Equipment and Recruiting
in 1889. From that time Up to 1897,
when he went to Hong Kong to as!
sumo command of our Asiatic squad.
ron. the greater part OF his time was
spent in Washington.

shallow strelm-they ....~ 49,.
ponies loose, ,quenched their thirst and
Immediately set. out to search the
banks. They found bog hole where
were tufts of old dry grass which had
escaped the fall fires. Of this thy
gathered enough for their purpose.
With dry twigs and bark of willows
they twisted dry grass ropes some two
inches in diameter and half the length
of lariat. To prevent these ropes
from untwisting they tied them here
and there with interlacing twihe.
The task finished, the brothers ate
some stringy chips of dried meat and
stretched themselves on the ground
for IN hour or so of rest.
Thus refreshed, they remounted and
rode leisurely and cautiously along
the trail Turn after turn of the mar
row valley was made. They moved iu
a silence broken only by the ght
footballs of their ponies. Their ami
mails were kept at the shutting, nearly
noiseless trot characteristic of the In
inbred pony.
On either hand loomed the chalk
cliffs; fringes of cottonwoods and
willows marked the crooked channel
of the creek. The trail, broad swath
in the thin, tall grass of the bottom
lands, was easily followed.
The thieves were depending upon
their advantage in start, their celebrity
of movement and the unlikelihood of
pursuit except from fort or settlement.
This they hoped to elude finally among
the intricacies of the Bad Lands.
Leaving the trail, the boys hugged
the little stream, keeping well within
the shadows of it's bordering trees.
1t was after midnight thatthe rustling
murmur they had listened for came to
their ears. Quite plainly now they
could hear the trampling of a herd,
hungrily cropping the coarse, thin
grass. But no fires, no sign of In
dians or of horses could be seen in the
night.
The brothers dismounted and led
their ponies deeper within the shad.
ows of cluster of cottonwoods. They
stripped The animals of saddles and
bridles.and turned them loose. Each
then wound his surcingle and grass
rope about his body and slid softly
down the ditch-like bank of the creek.
They left their saddles under the
trees and carried their rolled blankets
under their arms. They followed the
creek channel, hugging the bank, half
creeping on the shore or wading in
the water with great caution where
there was no foothold on land.
The creek channel led them by q
curve within the shadows of over
hanging cliffs, and they knew the In
dians were encamped in this bend.
Sounds of the herd grew more dis
tinct, and they were creeping with
greater caution when loud, familiar
whinny broke upon their ears, then
wells of Indians and brief clatter of
hooes.
What Antoine and Pierre had call
culated upon had happened. Their
own ponies had come on and joined
the herd. There had been a momentary
alarm as the animals had passed III
dian guards and camps. In the dark
ness there was little danger that the
incident would excite suspicion. The
savages would simply conclude shat
ponies had strayed and returned or
been left behind in some shelter OF
brush or trees.
In the meantime the lads had dis
covered the Sioux's camp and their
first outpost. Fortunately, horse
steulers do not allow dogs to follow
