FROM THE INDIAN COUNTRY
Mr. John Kelly Resumes HIS Inter
esting Letters to the EacIe.

Davis, l. T., May Ito the Editor of
the Eagle: On account of sickness and
hard work in one of the toughest por-
tons of the world, I have not had time
nor disposition to write you. But thanks
ii the Dawes commission and the ap-
| praisers-in-chief having charge of the
field work, we have left. for a time at
least, the Choctaw Indian, and are now
working the Chickasaw country, which
is much better and much more easily
worked. With the exception of the Ar
bucgle mountain district, this country
greatly resembles our own Kansas, and
we have abundant evidence that the
mountain portion is full of valuable min
e0ls Of many kinds-coal Of fine quality,
asphalt beyond calculation, and with ex-
traordinary thickness Of vein in both
cases. Everything in sight indicates that
90 per cent of this country is under cult
walton, while that Of the Choctaw would
scarcely reach 10 per cent. The wheat
crop is abundant and rapidly appriach-
ing maturity. The fruit crop is simply
immense; cattle, horse and hogs are all
thrifty and doing well. Corn and cotton
cultlvating Is in full blast and engaged
in by men, women and children
The weddings in this country will not be
so numerous as some months ago, on &C
count Of the high license. 1t costs a white
man now $1,000 TO marry squaw, and
unless that squaw is the mother of
half-dozen children and each of those en-
titled to the $50 acres, there will not be
so much clear profit as before
Our journey to Red river will neces-
sarily be very slow, as we work two
townships in width. instead of one as be-
foSe. We were fortunate in being as
signed territory along or near the rail-
road, where We may send or receive our
mail regularly.
There has been a two-days steady rain.
which leaves the ground, the crops and
the pastures in fine condition The
health of our camp Is fairly good. and
should the water continue good through
uluy and August, I hope that we viii get
through the summer with less suffering
than last year
You did the handsome thing with our
friend Chester 1. Ions. He is doing US
great giod, and deserves at least another
term have no doubt as TO his election.
eSigned) JOHN KELLY.

AS showing TO what extremes Oklahoma
is resorting just now in her exultatioI
over the free homes law, the following
letter and accompanying poem from
S. H. Peters. editor and pro-
prietor of the CARRIER Sentinel, are q
timely and accurate illustration. Mr.

les to nobody, as follows:

Mr.. Peters poem strikes a ifteen-rnil-
lion-dollar chord in the very first syllable
and keeps it up clear to the "astonisher''
at the end of the last line. Here it is,
under the caption, "Our Gratitude"

Saturday Nights Show.

"For Her Sake" was pro badly
the best drama that has visited
Florence for the season. The
audience, which was large, was
very appreciative and during the
four acts repeated applauses fol-
lowed the many heroic deeds done
by Irwin Blunkale. who played
the role of Prince Valdemar Rad
etsky, This man more especially
than either of the company, called
forth the sentiments of the theater-
loving people of the city. The
play was realistic. 1t depicted the
uncomfortable love of man for
the girl toward whom the love of
his heart is directed. Each men,
ber of the company carried out
their part admirably, but they
were badly handicapped with the
stage facilities
The Florence daily tribune., 1900-12-17
The Cooperative Laundry.

An interview with the promoters
of the Cooperative Steam laundry
elected the fact that all the stone
for the foundation and all the
labor, including hauling has been
subscribed in stock. The pro-
moters are not meeting with as
hearty support from Florence peo-
pie as had been hoped for. To
start such an institution requires
capital as well as labor, but the
former is slow in coming. When
solicited for subscriptions for stock
people seem to look upon it as a
donation toward raising a bonus,
when as a matter of fact it amounts
to an investment which will un-
doubtedly prove profitable one.
Pueblo has the same sort of an in
stitution, the share of which have
a par value of 81, bit which are
selling at 81. And the Florence
laundry will be operated on ex-
actly the same plan as is the
Pueblo plant.
When completed the Florence
laundry would employ from thirty
to fifty hands, making a monthly
pay roll of about $500.
The promoters also promise that
within short time after the plant
is in operation the stock will be
salable at at least par value. In
the face of the figures shown as to
the profits which will accrue to
shareholders, it would seem that
the enterprise is worthy of a sec
ond thought before passing the
proposition up. One of our COM
peting towns recently held a meet
ing of its leading business men
and they offered to pledge the
whole amount necessary The
promoters however are Florence
people and they are loath to leave
the place unless forced to do so.

theatrical Notes.

Mr.. Lorin j. Howard will pre-
sent his star, Merrie Katie Emmett,
at the opera house tonight in the
stirring comedy melodrama, "The
New Waits of New York" A
wealth of scenery with host of
new and startling mechanical eff
fects are carried by the company,
and in every detail the production
will be made on the same complete
and magnificent scale that has
been given it In the largest thea
ters of the country.
1t is one of the pieces where the
hero is invariably heroic, the vii
lain consistently and diabolically
villainous and the heroine is al
ways sweet. The prevalence of
slang and high flown sentiment is
built for one portion of the house,
and yet so well built that such
plays are generally fortune win
ners The crossing of two trains
over the elevated railroad bridge
is well executed and the fire in the
last act was so really done that one
could pardon the fact that it came
after the real finish of the play.
Katie is bright, merry and dainty,
without touch of vulgarity Her
heroic lines are given without
ranting and her bright ones with
real wit.
