Nearly all Were bid in at Theil
Appraised Value.

Word comes from AtOka in the
ChCctaw Nation, that all the town
lots of that place have been sold
with the exception of twenty-one, in
which were left unsold for want of
bidders. These sales were made by
Indian Agent Shoenfelt of this place
in accordance with the provisions of
tie treaty between the UnltedStates
and the Choctaw and Chickasaw
nations. One hundred and ninety.
nine lots were sold in three days
and the remaining twenty-one lots
received no bidders because they
had been appraised too high by the
townsite commission and the law
does not permit a lot to be sold for
less than its appraised value.

Funny CrankS.

We're all of us more or less
cranks. The man who made a
kite of "hy"-paper got "stuck''
on the idea, but he wasn't ely
enough to make it "fy." The
man who made a flying machine
and then dressed himself up in
swell clothes to ride in it is said
that he thought it would "fy" if
he "puts on airs" Another man
who put on full evening dress and
dove off the bridge said that he
thought he could learn to swim,
for he dressed himself like the fel-
lows who "are in the swim. :"
Another man bought turtle and
kept it to look at. Any time he
wanted to find out anything he'd
90 and watch the turtle. In that
way he could catch onto the snap.
Ole day he got caught in the
"snap'' and the turtle got Sin the
soup" We're cranks, too.

Friends Fall Out.

Monday evening the little burg
of Dibble, west of Purcell, wa,
treated to play in high life
About 2 O'Clock Monday three
friends, John Fitzpatrick, Tom
Watson and Henry Hill, young
men, came into the little town
from the west whooping things up
lively. They made two or three
trips of this kind and it was to be
seen that all three were drinking,
Fitzpatrick a little more than the
others.
After riding around and whoop-
ing a little the trio dismounted,
hitched their horses and, it is
said, proceeded to match money.
Hill was getting little the best Of
the game and all of Fits money
was gone when he proposed put
ting up watch. Watson stepped
up and asked Fitz to turn it over
to some other party for same Other
party for safe keeping. This ar
rangement did not suit Hill and
he became somewhat boisterous
and general mix-up among the
three followed in which Hill used
his knife pretty freely.
Fitzpatrick received cash
about three inches long on the
right check. Watson came out
with cut on the left cheek ex-
tending from the roots of his hair
to the corner of his mouth and
severe stab in the left arm.
In the scuffle Fitz was knocked
down and Hill made for him and
was in the act of pIunging his
knife into the PROSTATE man when
Will Deem bowled him over with
4 club making Hill drop his knife.
1t is reported that there is some
hing deeper behind the affair to
nave caused the cutting, but we
we're unable to learn the particu-
lars.

PLANS FOR HAWAII.
conferees Agree on a Hill Estnbiish-
ing n Complete Form pf Govern
ment for the Islands.

Washington. April 10. - A unani-
nous agreement has been reported by
the house and senate conference on
the Hawaiian government bill. A syn
opSis of the measure follows:
The bill establishes a complete form Of
government for the islands, with gov
ernor and other executive officfrs, a leSis-
lature of two branches. and JuGicial
branch consisting of a supreme court. cir
cult courts and inferior courts. The bill
provides that Hawaii shall be represent
ed in congress by delegate who shall
have seat in the house of representatives
with a right TO debate but not vote. The
delegate to congress Is 10 be chosen at an
election of the people There is no tariff
provision in the. bill, as the tariff laws
OF the United states are extended over
the island, and the territory of Hawaii
Is specifically made "a customs district
Of. the United States" with ports of en-
try at Honolulu, Hilo. Hahukona and
kdhului
AS To the crown lands. which have been
source of some controversy, IL is pro-
vided: THAT the portion of the public
domain heretofore known as crown lands
is hereby declared TO have been, on Au-
gust II, 1898, and prior thereto. the prop
erty of the Hawaiian government and to
be free and clear from any trust of or con-
cerning the same, and from all claim of
any nature whatsoever, upon the rents,
issues and profits thereof IL shall lie
subject to alienation and other uses as
may be provided by law
The Chinese on the island are given one
year to obtain certificates of residence,
but the conferees struck out the amend
ment inserted by Representative Dear
mond. of Missouri, providing that "all Chi
uese and either Asiatics" arriving since
the island was acquired by the United
States shall depart within one year or
else be deported by the government. This
latter provision was omitted in view OF
the belief that the Japanese have secured
treaty status in Hawaii and that their
forcible deportation by the United States
would invite serious and needless breach
with Japan.

MANY FILIPINOS SLAIN.
A Week of Fighting i'm Manila Dur
ing which BIS Insurgents Were
Killed and Many Wounded.

Manila, April 23.-Last week was
one of the bloodiest of the war since
the first days fighting around Manila.
Authentic reports, mostly official,
show a total of 37s Filipinos killed, IL
officers and pa men captured and
many more wounded. The number
wounded is hardly guessable. Con-
sidering that the Filipinos entirely
lack hospital facInties, a great ma
jority of the wounded will die. Prob
ably the weeks work finished 1000
insurgents. The Americans loss was
nine killed and 16 wounded. Two SER
geants and one private were killed
in ambushes while escorting provision
trains.

try, who captured Gen. Montenegro
and brought him TO Manila, is in the

rousing greeting was also given to
Gov. Roosevelt. Morris X. Jesup pre-
sided. President Mckinley sitting on
his right and Gov. Roosevelt on the
left. In his address of welcome on be-
half of the nation President Mckinley
said:
"I am glad of the opportunity TO offer
without stint my tribute of respect to the
missionary effort which has wrought such
wonderful triumphs for civilization.
1.-THE story of the Christian missions is
one of thrilling interest and marvellous re-
suits. The sacrifices Of the missionaries
for their fellow men constitute one OF the
most gloroiGs pages of the worlds history
"Who can estimate their value 10 the
progress OF the nations? Their contribu-
tion TO the onward and upward march OF
humanity is beyond all calculation They
have inculcated industry and taught the
various trades. They have promoted con-
cord and amity and brought nations closer
together. They have made men better
They have increased the regard for home
have strengthened the sacred ties of fam
lily, have made the community we'll or
dered and their work has been a potent
influence in the development of law and
the establishment of government.
May this great meeting rekindle the
spirit of missionary ardor and enthusiasm
to go teach all nations. may the field
never lack "a succession of heralds who
shall carry on the task-the continuous
proclamation of His Gospel to the end of
time "
Gov. Roosevelt followed with a well
come on behalf of the state, and was
followed by Gen. Harrison, who re-
piled on behalf of the conference.

RALLY FOR MISSIONS.
the World Meet I'm New York in
General Conference.

New York, April %. = With an ex-
president of the United States, Ben jamin
Harrison. TO bid them welcome, there
were gathered Saturday in Carnegie
hall more than 1000 missionaries
from almost every quarter of the
globe. For ten years preparations
have been under way for this meeting,
known as the ecumenical conference
on foreign missions. Ii is the third of
its kind ever held. Every branch OF the
Christian church is represented ex-
cept the Roman Catholic, the Greek
and that branch of the Christian
church known as the Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel.
Ex-Presideht Harrison in his ad-
dress of welcome said:
During the Atlantic campaign OF our
civil war the marching and fighting had
been largely In the brush. Sometimes in
an advance the commander of a regiment
could see no more than half OF his own
line, while the supports to his right and
left were wholly hidden. To him IT
seemed as If his battalion was making an
unsupported assault. The extended line,
the reserve, were matters Of faith. But
one day the advancing army broke sud
denly from the brush into a saVannah-a
long. narrow, natural meadow, and the
army was revealed From the center far
TO the right and left the distinctive corps,
division. brigade and regimental colors
appeared. and associated with each OF
these was the one flag that made the army
one. \ mighty spontaneous cheer burst
from the whole line and every soldier
frightened his grip upon his rifle and quick
ened his step. What the savannah did for
that army, this worlds conference of mis-
sions should do for the church"
President McKinley's appearance on
the platform in the evening was hailed
by tremendous and long sustained
applause. TO which the president re-
sponded by bowing repeatedly. A

High Water in Mississippi Causes
Immense Damage to Property

Vicksburg. Miss, April 21.-The
food which commenced the early part
of the week has already caused, at a
conservative estimate, fully $4,000, 900
loss in central and southern Mississip-

tanned by the railroads. The loss at
Columbia alone is placed at 100000,
and Hickory and Enterprise are inun-
dated and hundreds of cattle and hogs
have been drowned. Farm houses in
every direction have been swept away,
the inmates barely escaping with
their lives.
