CONGRESSMAN CURTIS has won
out In his fight for the nomination
in the First district of Kansas. He
had the opposition of the Kansas
republican boss to overcome, but
he received a majority of the votes
in each county of the district and
viii 60 into the convention with a
surplus OF nine votes over his op
ponent. This is good news for the
Territory, for while the number of
friends which the Territory has in
congress has been materially in
creased during the past two years.
still she can ill afford to lose a
single one.

Lurtis RenOminated.

People all over the Territory
will be glad to learn Representative
Charles Curtis of Kansas, after a
hard contest, has been nominated
to succeed himself. He was one
of the earliest as we'll as one of the
most earnest advocates of remedial
legislation for the Territory and to
his efforts was largely due the
driving of the opening wedge-the
Curtis bill. Our people have had
so few real friends in congress that
the renewed success of Mr.. Curtis
will be a source of real pleasure to
them. Yesterdays dispatches
from Atchison said:
Congressman Charles Curtis will
have at least fitty-six votes-forty-
seven being necessary to a choice
in the republican congressional
convention to be held at AtchisOn,
March 20, and will be nominated
on the first ballot to succeed him
self in the fifty seventh congress.
This result of the remarkable
conflict between Mr.. Curtis and
Congressman at large w. j..
Bailey, that has been waged in the
first district for the past three
months, was made certain yester-
day and last night by the primary
elections held in Atchison. Brown
and jackson counties.
Curtis has come out of all of
these counties with sweeping vic
tories. Pension Agent Leland has
been backing Bailey and the result
is considered a black eye for the
boss.

The beginning of this year has
been marked by unprecedented
activity in railroad projection in
the Territory and it is likely that
the close of the year will see the
beginning of construction on sever
al lines. This is sure to come soon,
as there is too much rich country
here untouched by railways for
them to refrain much longer from
taking steps to control the heavy
business which would spring up all
along the line.

THE failure of Lord Roberts to
send any news from the front ex-
cept his list of casualties is causing
considerable anxiety in London, as
it is known that fighting has been
in progress on the Modder river
since Sunday. 1t is feared that
his silence as to results will prove
confirmation of Boer reports
which state that the British ad-
vance has been checked.

THE little town of Pilot Point,

which will be in operation within a

ously considering the erection of a
mill at that place. 1t seems that
the activity of surrounding towns
in industrial development will
sooner or later force Ardmore to

.ously and work to the best interests

indian Relics Consumed by Fire.

When Charlie Gibson's grocery
burned Sunday night, probably
the best collection of Indian relics
owned by a private individual was
almost totally destroyed.
These relics antedated the arrival
of the Greeks in this country, and
it is stated on good authority that
Gibson had arrow heads and toma-
hawks that were picked up few
weeks after the massacre of the
whites at Fort Mimms, in South
western Alabama, August 80, 1913,
and that he owned a rifle used by
Weathersford who surrendered at
Emuchfau, in March of 1914.
Other relies of their life here in
the territory, of the battle with the
Cherokees, of the pant taken in the
war of the rebellion; all were des-
troyed. The loss sustained by
Mr.. Gibson cannot be repaired,
and is not alone loss to him, but
to the Greek nation and all who
took an interest in the history of a
people whose determination began
with Andrew Jackson's terrific
campaign in the last three months
of 1913 aud the first three of 1914.
