DEATH OF WILLIAM CONNOR
For Many Years n Leading Man
Among the OsaEes.

Guthrie. o. T., July 15.-The death of
William Connor at Monet, Mo-. removes
a unique and interesting character from
active life in the territory. says the Ponca
City Courier. He was a member Of the
Usage family and nearly a full blood, and
always welded an important influence
with that branch of the tribe. VIM. Con-
nor was a man of about fifty years Of
age and during that time his people had
passed through many stirring times, but
he lived to see the troubles mostly passed
and his tribe collectively the wealthiest
people in the world. He was an educat-
ell scholarly man. an able lawyer, a judge
OF more than ordinary capacity. and
number of years was justice of the Usage
nation. He was a man of much force of
character, an ardent friend and an
equally ardent enemy His life was full
of exciting experiences. which reduced to
story would be truly thrilling. 1t IS
matter of regret that he should meet
death as he did. and his loss will be keen
" felt by the tribe, especially among full
bloods.

LOVE-MAKlNG IN CUBA
Rough Rider Rhodes Relates Some
Amusing Experiences.

Rough Rider Rhodes Relates Some
Amusing Experiences.
Guthrie, o. T., July 81. D. Rhodes
once Rough Rider, now at Matanzas
Cuba, in writing to the Hennessey Kick
er, divulges a fact tht will cause I'M
easiness to all wives who have husbands
in Cuba: '~The beautiful senoritas. 1 am
not ladies' man; can't give very much
information except in a general way. To
begin with, If there are any beautiful ones
here they nut be in the converts or some
other place as inaccessible as 1 have
never seen one that could be called beau
tiful. They are easily to get acquainted
with, as they all want to get married
and each wants an American. If one
calls upon one of the senoritas he must
see her in the presence of the whole
family, and this is a rule never broken.
The second time, a person is supposed to
be impressed by the girls beauty and
looked upon as a near possibility for a
husband. The girl makes no hesitancy
in asking If you are married and If you
want a wife. The third or fourth call the
father is pretty apt to ask your inten-
lions. To be seen walking on the plaza
with one alone is equivalent to an en-
gagement and is so regarded by friends
of the family. This has been the expert
ence of every American here. One young
lady asked me If there were no girls in
America, and when replied in the affirm
alive she said she supposed they must
be very few, as every American in Cuba
was a single man.

Sulphur Springs, I. T., July 1.-THE
efficacy of the mineral springs of this

The town is located about ten miles

tains, and stands at an altitude of 100
feet, being divided by two gurglinE. YER
dure lined mountain brooks, which are
fed by the many wonderful springs,
whose curative powers have been known
to prove effective when the Sulphur
Springs of Virginia, Baxter Springs and
other American spas had proved useless.
People who could not get relief at Hot
Springs, Arkansas, have found it here.
In the heart OF the Chickasaw Nation
the marvellous powers of the seven
springs. all within few feet of one
another, have long been known to the
Indians. For twenty years people have
been in the custom of camping at them
for the benefit of the waters. People suf
fering from old wounds. liver complaints,
eczema and rheumatism have been cured
and have spread the news abroad to their
friends.
The first building in the town was
erected In June, 1895. In September, 1895.
