ReDulsed in England.

London, March 2S.-Agoncillo
and Marti, the Filipino commits
sioners, have started for Paris
In we'll informed quarters it is said
that Agoncillo Is greatly mortified
at the rebuffs he had received from
the British government, whose
sympathy with the Filipinos he
endeavored to arouse, and that he
expected better treatment at the
hands of the French. Agoncillo's
real object, however, is to obtain
arms and ammunition. for the pur
chase of which he has made un-
successful overture to several Lon
don and Birmingham firms. 1t is
sail that he believes that with the
assistance of the Paris junta, he
will be able to obtain the supplies
he seeks in France, in the event of
which he intends to charter a small
vessel at Brest or ST. MalO to
transport his purchases to the
Philippines
If THE military court of inquiry
really wishes further evidence in
that direction, it should summon
the agent of Armour & Co, who
told the regimental commissary
sergeant that the beef had been
treated with preservatine. -

cell. [ will not be able to see all

APPRAISER BURNEY AT SEA.
StIm Has Not Heard From His Colleague,
Mr.. johnson.

Mr. JohR3ons
Wes. Burney, Chickasaw town
site appraiser, is at sea. He has
been under the weather. for
few days and has not been out in
town. But he couldn't have ac-
complished anything if he had
been about, for he has had no
orders yet.
The public has been unable to
hear word from him, and un-
easiness and curiosity has been
piling up until the town was
threatened with a new epidemic.
Seriously, there is lots of interest
centering about this townsite APP
praising business. The interest is
becoming more intense every day,
too. Men who few days ago

ing for bargains in unimproved
conner lots and then when they
secured them increasing their speed
to about a 2;40 gait in search of
carpenter to build houses on these
lots, have either satisfied their de-
sire for real estate bargains or they
are tired, for hey are certainly not
nearly so busy now. Asked why
this Iull, they explained that one
reason was the uncertainty Of the
appraisers movements.
The reporter met Mr.. Burney
this morning. and asked him how
about things generally The APP
praiser said he didn't know.

day to go to Muskogee to confer

have lost trace of Nj. johnson,
but yesterday sent a letter to his
former address. in which made
some inquiry about our work.
There's no telling when III hear
from that, because he may not be
at home when the letter gets there
When we get through our con
ference, it is likely we will be in a
position to give our instructions to
the people. The Choctaw appraiser
is a newspaper man, and | notice
he has published nothing as yet.
The people. in my opinion,
have no cause to fear the apprais-
ers, for our instructions are very
liberal | do not believe that any
man will be made to suffer by the
enforcement OF these regulations.

CHILD LOST.

North of Gainesville.
Special to the Ardmoreite.
Gainesville, Tex, March %
The greatest excitement prevails
here of the report that /. J-year-old
child belonging to a family Of
campeIs near Browns ferry on
Red river, six miles north of this
city, was lost and a diligent search
had failed to give the faintest trace
of the little ones whereabouts.
Thus people here are aroused as
they have not been in years, and
about 8 o'clock this morning a
number of the citizens organized a
searching party and left for the
camp to offer any assistance pos
sible.
There seems little hope of re-
storing the child alive, as it has
been gone since yesterday, and
many believe that the cold Of last
night would so numb it that it
could not long survive.
Efforts to learn the name of the
family have failed. They are said
to be emigrants Ell route to the In
dian Territory, and had been in
camp near the ferry since Sunday,
awaiting the passing of the severe
weather so as to be able to travel
more comfortably.
Parties just in from the ferry
report that the search continued
all last night, and that there was
hardly foot of the country for g
considerable distance around the
camp that had not been looked
over carefully.
The parents of the child are al.
most crazed with grief. 1t is thought
that the mother will lose her reason
if the search is not successful today

PURCELL is in the throes Of a
city campaign Of unusual political
bitterness. Political lines are
drawn very closely, and all other
questions are likely to be of Sec
ondary Importance compared to
the success of one of the parties.
Purcell, however, is a progressive
town, and it will be impossible to
elect any set Of men to office there
who can interfere with her ad-
vancement for a great while.

Important Letter.

Hon. w. b. johnson, United
States attorney for the Southern
District. is III receipt of the follow
ing letter from Hon. J Geo. Wright,
United States Indian inspector,
which is self-explanatory:
Muskogee. |. T., March D.
Hon. W. B. johnson, L. s. Atty,
Ardmore, Ind. Ter: Sir-Re-
ferring to my communication to
you, dated the l4th inst, wherein
! stated
In regard to procuring wood
for mills, gins and congresses. it
appears to me that, where citizens
have selected or located upon their
prospective allotments in good
faith. and cut timber either for fire
wood or for local consumption in
gins, etc. they should not be con
sidered as violating the law. though
POSSIBLY not within the strict word
ing of the same.
l enclose, herewith, copy Of rules
and regulations prescribed by the
honorable Secretary of the interior,
and would invite your attention to
page ). regarding timber cutting
| desire that my letter to you on
this subject be construed to mean
that. where citizens have, or do,
cut timber for the purpose, ONLY,
of clearing land for cultivation,
they should not, in my opinion, be
considered as violating the law:
that is to say, they should Lot be
permitted to denude the land or
cut timber simply for sale; but if
in order to enable them to prepare
any certain tract for cultivation it
became necessary to cut timber
thereon, they should be permitted
to dispose of the same.
Mr.. I w. Folsom of Ardmore
the collector for the Choctaw Ma
ton in the Chickasaw Nation,
called upon me today representing
that ice plants, mills, etc, had
cut, and were cutting. considerable
quantities of timber on which they
were prepared and willing to pay
royalty, but he was Informed that
they were unauthorized to cut
same; nor was he, in my opinion
authorized to accept any royalty
for such, except for timber cut to
be used in connection with mines,
as provided in the regulations gov
erning operations of mines (see
page ) of copy herewith). He
was also requested to furnish you
with any information regarding
such unlawful cutting. Very re-
spectfulIy. j. GEO. WRIGHT.

PURCELL's tax roll will show
that the amount Of taxable prop
erty there is greater than that of
Ardmore. This is due~to the fact
of the location of the Santa Fe's
terminal facilities there and also
to the presence of the largest mill
and elevator in the Indian Terri
tory in that town.

An illuminated sign on az store up
town spells the name of the proprietor
in letters outlined by electric lights and
is lit up and then made dark again
automatically. When the sign begins
to shine out, the electric bulbs at the
left are the first to appear, and then the
illumination follows the course Of an
immense pen writing the name out. So
closely is the course Of the pen followed
that the "i" in the name is not dotted
with its especial electric light dot until

the name is lit up Then, with per-

THE SCHOOL PLAYGROUND.
It's Abolition Is n Grievous Wrong to
the Children.

It's Abolition is n GrteyOus wrong to
the Children,
This is an evil which has crept in
with the tendency to centrnlize the
schools When in any place the schools
begin to overflow, movement to put
up larger building takes place, accom-
panied by an effort to create high
school department, not so much the
need of the community as the ambitious
dream of some principal who would be
superintendent or some sort of central
sun to 4 group of satellites.
This dream is too easily realized, be-
cause it flatters the people. Then there
rises a preposterous structure of stone
and brick. A house of many gables, out
of keeping with everything, either pub.
lio or private, in the place; temple Of
vanity. Now is rung the knell of the
school playground, for the new "high
school," although it will house all the
children from 8 to 10, must needs be
surrounded by fine lawn, studded
with shrubbery and threaded by blue
stone roads. The janitor has to employ
an assistant to keep the grounds in or
der.
A shut in, penitentiarylike place has
been evolved by the architect and school
committee, gratifying to their pride
and deep wrong to the children.
There are many wrongs about it. The
one insisted upon here is the abolishing
of the recess, that time honored joy of
the American sohoolboy and schoolgirl
