CREEKS SELECT THEIR LANDS
Everything Except TOwnsites to be
Divided Up-Importnnt Cases I'm
the Territorial Court.

MUSCOGEE, I. T., April Sin accordance
with the circular notice dated March Z, 1899,
the Dawes commission has opened an office
here at which citizens of the Creek nation
and Creek freedmen whose rights to citizen
ship are unquestioned, may select 100 acres
of land from the Creek domain as provided
by the rules and regulations made by the
secretary of the interior under the pro-
visions of the Curtis act. Judge William NJ.
Springer Of the United States court pre-
sides. All the lands of the nation will be
allotted except such as are reserved for
townsites, school and church sites, grave
yards, etc. The work of separating the
townsites will be commenced in the near
future.
The May term of the United States court

Territory will open at Muscogee the first
Monday in May. There are $50 cases on the
docket.
The famous Seminole burning cases, in
which the Oklahoma mob of nearly 100

NOTES FROM THE COURTS
End of Term is Near ut Hand and
odds and Ends Are Being
Cleared IN.

The district court offers few attractions
for the lobby aside from the criminal branch
in which the Marshall criminal assault case
continues to draw a big audience of the
morbidly inclined. The judges are largely
engaged in clearing up comparatively UNI
important matters in anticipation of the
approaching end of the term, and few
really important cases are scheduled for the
current week. Judge Powell is hearing the
case of Kitchen against Philbin, in which
the plaintiff sues for unpaid rent aggregating
$500, and Philbin answers with a counter
claim in the same amount Judge Keysor
is still engaged with a replevin case that
has been on trial for several days. The
other judges are largely engaged in hearing
motions and arguments on adjudicated
matters.
Judge Slabaugh has overruled a motion for
a new trial in the case of Homer Johnson
against the Woodmen of the World.
A jury has awared Julius Lind damages in
the amount of 81 for injuries alleged to have
been sustained by the premature starting of
a motor train.
Cora Hoff has been granted a divorce from
Daniel Hoff because Daniel declined to longer
pay the family grocery bills.

LEGAL OPINION ON CANTEEN
Attorney Genera GriEgs Preparing
One for the Guidance of
Army Officers.

NEW YORK, April "A special from
Washington says: Attorney General Griggs
will render an opinion this week on the
question of authority of the secretary Of
war to permit the sale of beer on public
reservations under his control. Temperance
men throughout the country. assisted by
whisky dealers, have been making a strong
effort to secure prohibition of the sale of
beer at military posts ana soldiers homes,
and they succeeded in getting through con-
gress during the last session a provision in
the army reorganization law that mo officer
or private soldier shall be detailed to sell
intoxicating drinks, as a bartender or other
wise, in any post exchange or c%anteen, nor
shall any other person be required or
allowed to sell such liquors in any encamp-
ment or fort, or on any premises used for
military purposes by the United States
The secretary of war is specifically directed
to issue such general orders as may be
necessary to carry these provisions into
effect.
Judge Advocate General Lieber held that
the section required the total prohibition of
the sale of intoxicating liquors, but Secretary
Alger simply published the law for the
information OF all concerned"

BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING.
Building Inspector Reports on Con-

ditiOR of school Houses.
Only seven members of the Board of Edu-
cation appeared at the regular monthly
meeting last night. After the usual reports
had been read the following communication
from Building Inspector Dunscombe was
presented. and after reading was referred
to the committee on buildings and grounds:
Office Of the Building Inspector, South
Omaha, Neb, April ITO the Honorable
Board of Education of South Omaha-Dear
Sirs: | beg leave to submit my report of
the inspection of the school buildings
erected by the Board of Education of the
city Of South Omaha last year, and also
enclose building permits issued for the same.
I find the buildings in good condition., all
Of the structures being substantial, but the
provision in case of fire is very poor.
The Central school, a three-story struc-
ture, with a seating capacity of 600, which
Is crowded to its limit, is not suitably pro-
vided with fire escapes and should a fire
start in the stairs a great loss of life would
be the result. In my opinion this school
should be provided with four fire escapes.
The Brown Park school, being only two
stories in height. is not so dangerous, but
ii has a capacity of 500 pupils.
Both the Hawthorne and the Lincoln
schools have a capacity Of 400 pupils each,
but they are only two stories in height. The
West Side school, with 400 pupils, and all
the others, need suitable fire escapes OF some
approved pattern and designed especially for
the use of children. These fire escapes should
be placed in locations selected by the chief
of the fire department, the building inspec-
tor and the boards architect
| would respectfully recommend that these
improvements be made at the earliest con.
y%enience Of the board.
Superintendent Wolfe reported that the
Highland and Hawthorne schools were over
crowded and more room was needed before
the commencement Of the next term. In
addition to one extra room needed for the
Central school, five other rooms are needed.
The matter Of changing the school districts
was discussed, but was deferred without
date. Superintendent Wolfe expects that
about 200 pupils, beginners, will enter the
primary grades within the next two weeks,
Five sets Of an encyclopedia will be ordered
for the use of the schools.
Attorney Nolan read a letter from NJ. d.
Loeyy, throwing up his contract for the
purchase of the triangle opposite the depot.
The abstract was returned, While the board
missed a sale, it still holds $500 put up by
LOevy as a forfeit.

CANADIANS HAVE NO ARMY
Commanding General Refuses to Dig
nifty the Force Under Him
by that Name.

BUFFALO, y. Y, April "A special from
Quebec says: II Is now publicly admitted
that the Dominion Of Canada Is without de-
lenses and has no army worthy OF the name.
This statement is made upon the authority
OF the head Of the supposed army, the gem
eral who commands It. General Hutton is
a frst-class imperial officer, who has seen
active service in various parts of the en-
pire, notably in Egypt, where he has served
with Gordon. Sir Evelyn Wood and Kitchner.
He has been newly appointed to the COM
mand of the Canadian forces and his first
official report on the condition Of the sup
posed army has created more than a mild
sensation. both in military, civil and po-
litical circles in Canada. The general de-
clines to speak of the force at all as an
army. In fact, he declares that it is not
an army.
