ARDMoRE, SUNDAY, JUNE IL.

THE ARDMoREITE has added to
its list of improvements long dis
tance telephone. and just as soon
as reliable correspondents can be
secured at all outlying points not
only in, but outside the Territory,
we will be able to furnish our read
ers with an excellent service of up
to-the-hour news. The manage
ment of the company here are
showing us every courtesy, which
is heartily appreciated, and we trust
our readers will be equally appre-
preciative of our effort to obtain
the latest news.

Decoration Day at wynnewood.

Some time since the camp of the
w. 0. w. at WynnewoOd decided
that on the 9th of this month they
would invite in their neighboring
camps and decorate the graves of
their dead sovereigns. Accordingly
the camps of Sulphur, Davis, Pauls
Valley, Paoli and Center were in
vited. For this occasion extensive
preparations were made.
The day came, and with it many
gathered in the beautiful city,
where stores were decorated with
forest trees cut with the tools of the
w. o. w. to show that in their
hearts they bade us welcome.
At about u o'clock such down
pour of rain is seldom ever wit
messed in this country. 1t utterly
frustrated the program arranged
for the occasion. However, about 4
p. m. twelve of us, by order of the
camp, in nice cenveyances provid-
ed for the occasion, with boxes of
flowers, beautiful bOquets and en-
blems of love, proceeded through
rain and mud to perform the work
of the occasion, the decoration of
the graves.
On returning to the hall of the
Odd Fellows we found this so dec
GRATED and lighted up that it look
ed more like an open forest with
the trees shedding their blossoms
over our young heads than an Odd
Fellows hall.
The music by the band was nice.
Then came the welcome address by
Brother Worley, a brother whom
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1899-06-11

we have known and often heard
for number of years, but never
did WOrley seem more at
home or acquit himself with more
honor than upon this occasion. He
seemed to realize that he stood to
represent one of the best towns in
the Territory, and well did he per-
form his work, and truly we all
felt welcome. Then followed sweet
strains of music from piano and
viOlins, while the clatter of dishes
in the rear of the immense hall
told of something of which the w.
o. VS.. are more used to-and
that was supper. And that crowd
of about 400, well. tongue cannot
express the sweet comforts of the
table. They told of deft hands,
adept cooks and the work of ones
who had tasted of the good things
OF life. For three long hours at
three long tables it was eat, laugh
and talk-talk, laugh and eat. You
could not tell who enjoyed them
selves best.
Then came tie lecture by your
scribe. For over one hour those
good people content (people usually
are after getting as much as they
want to eat) sat and listened with
wrapt attention (for the finish) for
they were all anxious to get out
and tell what good things they had
seen and heard.

his corps of surveyors to run a sur

the route Is too rough and broken;
besides they want to intercept the
large deposits of coal near this
place. The route via Durant is
rich with coal.

Of the law he has instructed the
permit collectors in each of the

therefore reports you as an in
truder in said nation, and asks

its of the same.
You are hereby notified that the
act of the Chickasaw legislature
providing for the payment of said
taxes was approved by the presi-
dent of the United States, and the

said nation has the right to levy
and collect the same from non-citi-
zens residing in said nation, and
all such non-citizens therein who
refuse or fail to comply with the
law imposing said tax upon them
are subject to removal as intrud-
ers in the Indian country under
the provisions of Section 2149, Re-
vised Statutes of the United States.
You are therefore directed to inn
mediately pay said taxes to the
authorized collectors of the Chick
asaw nation, and you will inform
me if you intend to comply with
the said laws, and in case of your
refusal to do so, l will take the
necessary steps to carry out the
order of removal as above men
toned. Very respectfully,
d. w. WISDOM,
L. S. Indian Agent.

FACE TO FACE.
American Troops Confront Insurgents
and Quiet Reigns.

Manila, Jan ~4.-InSurgents and
Americans are face to face at Ililo. The
American troops have arrived at the
enc of trouble, but have not landed
Matters are in allegiance for the time
being and quiet is now reigning.
No II is deceived, however. by the
apparent inaction, for the insurgents
are in full control on the shore. 1t is
possible that an attempt to land troops
would cause bloOdshed. The native
government is new having things it's
own way. but the merchants are beg
cling the Americans to assume control
and to run things with a firm nand.
The Ships of Admiral Dewey's fleet
will be used to distribute President Nc
kinley's message among the islanders.
Word has been received here that the
First California regiment will reinforce
General Miller at Iloilo and that the
Concord will also go there.
Riots in the provinces are becoming
serious and are increasing. Malcon.
tents have already entered seven
towns, killing or taking prisoners the
loyal native authorities.
The town of Panique has been attack
ed and taken by 700 malcontents, who
disarmed Agulnaldo's troops.
1t is said the dissatisfied Filippinos
now rumber 5000 and are increasing.
The cause of the riots is the antipathy
of the Indians to the ~half-castes. who
fill all appointments, abusing their po-
sition by imposing excessive taxation.
Working classes complain that they
have paid more taxes in six months to
Aguinaldo's government than in 40
years to the Spanish government. and
they fear they Will be made slaves by
the ~half-casUeS.
Iloilo was occupied quietly by the ma
tives. Their general handed the keys
of the custom house to an Englishman
named Fleming in the absence of Amer
leans, appointing him inspector. The
American expedition arrived later.
Aguinaldo sem urgent orders to Iloilo
not to hand over the town to the Ameri-
cans. Gable lines to Iloilo are still in

RECORD BREAKING RUNS.

The east-bound fast mail train on the
Bluffs Monday night and arrived IN
Chicago Tuesday morning, br, -, az
cording to the Burlington officials, all
fast records between the two cities.
The train left Council Bluffs one hour
and two minutes late, being delayed by
~non-arrival of the Union Pacific con-
nection from the west. In spite of this
delay at the start it made the run to
Chicago in less than schedule time, and
arrived in the Burlington depot in Chi
cago on time to the minute.
The distance between Council Bluffs
and Chicago by the Burlington road
is 5OO.2 miles. The mail covered this
distance, including stops. which
amounted to thirty-nine and a half
minutes, in 563 minutes. The actual
running time, excluding stops. was
523R minutes.
The schedule shows some unusually
fast bursts of speed, particularly toward
the latter part of the III From Bur-
| lirgton to Chicago, a distance of 206
milese, the run was made in 213 min
utes. including all stops. Thirteen
minutes were required for stops and
taking these out. the showing is that
the actual running time for the FOG
H.. ON a,;,-tn, nm a,ra,otpa Nf
considerably yer a mile a minute.
Added interest in the second nights
run from Chicago to Omaha resulted
from Che Lake Shore fast mail from the
east arriving ait 10 o'clock, one hour
and thirty minutes late. The Burling-
ton mail departed on time at $50, not
waiting for the belated eastern mail,
but the Northwestern waited until
1910 p. m, before 1T departed, thus Sc
curing all the mail from the Lake Shore
train.
Northwestern officials declared their
train would reach Omaha at s:15 a. m,
its schedule time, making up THE forty
minutes delay neceSsitated at the Chi
cago end. The result will be of the
record-breaking variety.
Every fast mail record, including the
New York C%entral's record for a mile
in ~thirty7two seconds, or ait the rate Of
1925 miles per hour, made in 1893, was

NJ OF WAR CLAIMS.
Secretary of War Asks Congress to
Enact Legislation.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The secretary
of war today transmitted to congress a
letter from the state claims committee
recommending legislation to provide
for the payment or all meritoriOus
claims for materials and supplies fur
nished and services rendered by indi-
viduals during the Spanish-American
war, together with a draft of a bill to
accomplish that purpose.
The committee states that there are
many just claims which CANNOT be paid
without this legislation, as the present
act provides for the reimbursement
only of governors of states and terri
tories. The war department concurs
in the views of the committee.
