A Travelling United states Court.

The United States court OF che
northern district of Indian Terri
tory is probably the only travelling
court, including the courtroom and
all the fixtures and persopages be-
longing to it, in existence in the Unit
ed States. U. s. Commissioner Har-
ry Jennings, U. S. Marshal L. E. Ben
nett and a corps of assistants have
adopted this novel way Of travelling
and holding court i'll several different
places instead OF one place in the dis
trict as heretofore. The northern dis
trict OF Indian Territory is large and
the towns are far apart 30 that is was
very hard for persons to travel 90 far
to attend court, as well as very ex-
pensive. Commissioner Jennings has
small house built on wheels, much
resembling movers outfit. in which
they travel as we'll as hold court in
the various towns of the district. They
carry cooking utensils with them and
an expert cook to prepare their meals
and a servant who keeps their house
in order. They go from place to
place wherever they are wanted to
hold court and they claim that they
have saved the people considerable
expense as it is much cheaper for the
court to travel III that country than
it is for the people. Criminals can
be more conveniently reached in this
way as it is often dangerous to con-
duct them from town to town without
heavy guard. The travelling court
of that district is a success and the
people seem well pleased with it.

The Director Of the United States
Mint estimates the gold production of
the world for 1899 to be the enormous
sum Of S340,0O0,00O. The correspond
ing figures for 1897 were S237,505,0O0
and Tor 1893, nearly s288,000,O00.
These are astounding figures, but
they are reasonably accurate. The
increase in the gold yield in part &C
counts for the stimulation of bust

Rough on the Old Man.

Last week we published an item
from the Golconda News and had a
little fun with it's editor. Now
George comes back and accuses US OF
being present when he felt the sole
OF the parental shoe, as he was about
to miugle his soul with the soul of
one OF Elko's fair daughters. Here
ID his heartless accusations:
That's so, the INDEPENDENT pen
pusher knows all about it, for he was
with us on that occasion. He used
to go to see that girls grandma and
take us along and introduce US as his
grandson. He WAS lucky, though,
and took we'll with all Lands, for he
had winning ways. He used better
judgment, too, and was never caught
osculating. That evening, when 60
ing home, OF course our feelings (?)
we're badly wounded, and Mr.. Booher
tried to console us. @Never mind.n
he said. 81 am going to get married
some day, George, and then will
have little girl and you can come to
see her; I won't care" You're mar
r1ed now, Bro, so keep your promise.
We would prefer a pretty one, free
from freckles, red hair and crossed
eyes. We realize that you are little
antique, but do the best you can.
