A minister not many miles from
here recently surprised his audi
ence by reading the following from
the pulpit: "The regular session
of the Donkey club will be held as
usual after the service. Members
will line up just outside the church
door, make remarks and stare at
the ladies who pass, as is their
custom. Any member known to
escort a lady to. church like a man
and sit with her like a gentleman
will be promptly expelled from
membership" The effect was
marvellous. .-Ex.

The way Congressman Charley
Curtis dis6gures the Cherokee
treaty would seem TO indicate a
desire to destroy its chances of
ratification both in congress and
by the Cherokee people. Perhaps
Curtis is jealous Of his oill, lest it
be lost and his name forgotten.
1t is not al all probable that con.
gress will heed the clatter of the
little Topeka member. The Cher,

The Frisco railroad, in locating
towns along its sapulpa extension,
has staked off one a half mile from
the already existing village of Ada,
about twenty miles east of Wynne-

Ada has been given a lot in the

probably be called Floyd City, af.
