A SURPRISE.

Baltimore, Md. Dec. 21.-The news
that the Treasury Department had ap
pointed receiver for the American
National Bank was a surprise. The
institution was regarded as perfectly
sound and nothing was known of the
action of the Baltimore Clearing House
Association today until the dispatch
was received announcing the appoint
ment of a temporary receiver. The
bank was chartered in 1891 with a cap
ital OF 100000. Joshua Horner is its
President. None of the officers of the
bank could be found tonight. and de-
tails are unobtainable.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 21.-The
Comptroller of the Currency tonight
appointed j. Frank Aldrich temDor-
airy receiver of the American National
Bank, of Baltimore. Md This bank,
it is stated has suffered large shrink
age in deposits, and has also sustained
some heavy losses which involved its
capital and surplus, reducing greatly
its cash reserve. The condition of its
assets is sucn that the loss to the de-
positors will probably be small.
At a meeting of the clearing house
of Baltimore this afternoon it was de-
cided that in view of the condition Of
the bank no further credit could be ex.
tended, and the Comptroller appointed
the receiver. The last statement of
the bank made to the Comptroller was
on Oct. 25. and shows total resources,

DEADHEADS.
The Term Dates From the Days OF
Pompeii.

Speaking of the origin of the word
deadhead, Frederick Stanley says: In
the museum at Naples 1 was much in
terested in a case of theatrical tickets
found in a tragic theater in Pompeii.
They were made variOusly in bone,
ivory and metal. You are aware, per-
haps, that to this day the gallery Of
an Italian theater is called the pigeon
loft. Well the little tickets for this
part of the auditorium were in the
shape of pigeons, while varying devices
were used for other parts of the house
What attracted my attention most Gu
riously however, was a set of diminu-
tive skulls modelled in ivory. These
were used solely by those having the
right of free admission. Now, does this
not suggest the very possible deriva-
ton of the term?

To Establish rownsIte Limits.

A chance visit of the reporter to
the townsite commission rooms
this morning enables us to give
the following item of interest:
A letter of instruction has just
been received by the commission
from the Indian Office at Washing
ton directing that at the earliest
practicable time this commission
proceed to lay out and establish
the boundary lines of every town
site in the Chickasaw nation en-
braced under the provisions of the
Curtis law.
No explanation was given as to
the purpose of this new instrue-
ton, but it is presumed that it was
sent out as a result of the repre-
sentations of the Dawes commits
sion that the work of allotment
would be retarded by the tOwnsite
work. The Dawes commission has
been prolific in excuses for It's
dilatory work and. inferentially al
least. has sought to make the
townsite commissions scape- goats
for their own slowness by alleging
that they could not proceed with
allotment until they knew the ex
act iamount of land embraced il
each townsite.
This instruction, it is thought
is intended to remove their blanke
; excuse by at once establishing tn
| limits of all townsites, leaving tn
routine work of surveying an
plating to be done in regula
order at later time.

Charges Against Delegate Callahan.
The news from Washington says
special from Oklahoma, that Hon.
j. Y. Callahan, a former delegate
to congress from Oklahoma, would
probably be compelled to face
charges brought by the United
States postal authorities for violat-
ing the franking privileges, has
caused considerable comment all
over Oklahoma. Mr.. Callahan is
a preacher and populist politician
and formerly lived near St. Louis.
but now resides on a claim near
Kingfsher. He has a wife and
about six children. The populists,
as a rule. deny the charges brought
against their leader. and say it is
only scheme to injure their party
Rev. Mr.. Callahan has been spoken
of for the democratic. populist NOM
ination for delegate again this year
but this report has put a bomb in
his camp and it is very likely he
will be relegated to the rear.

To the Pnblic .

Having seen a circular that has
been issued over the signature of
S. T. Bledsoe relative to the cir
culation of a rumor about small
pox in Ardmore, l have this to
say:
| have ample proof that on yes
terday, the Doth day of March
1900, various persons were riding
in the country circulating the re-
port that there was smallpox in
Ardmore, and that the farmers
should not come to this town. AS
a proof of the fact that none of my
friends circulated this report,
have only to add that these reports
were circulated in communities
where the people were known to bt
largely in my favor; and by the
further fact that l have early this
morning sent ten men through tht
country to contradict these false
reports. l wish to further add
that l will give a reward of $10t
for the arrest of the person or per
sons who circulated these falls,
reports.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS CLOSE.
Grand Rally of Pupils. Teachers and
Parents at the Opera House.

Grand Rally of Pupils. Teachers and
Parents at the Opera House.
This afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock
the pupils of the Ardmore public
school formed in line at King
college and marched to the opera
house in a body to take part in the
exercises which marked the close
of the school year.
1t was certainly an inspiring
spectacle to those who have labor
ed so earnestly for the success of
the school to see the host of chill
dren, grading from little kinder
garten tots to the large boys and
girls of the higher grades, march
ing in a body that extended the
length of two blocks.
At the opera house the number
couldSbe better estimated and ap-
preciated. The house was filled
to its utmost capacity with pupils
and visitors. A conservative
estimate places the number of
pupils at 600.
The exercises were opened with
a song-America-which was join
ed in by all present. AS the
childish voices filed the large hall
with their glad music the look of
satisfaction which rested upon the
faces of the true and tried mem,
bers of the board told only toe
we'll of the qualification they felt
at the consciousness of duty well
= performed.
There were on the stage besides
the members of the board and the
: superintendent, Rev. G.. NJ. Collin:
and Col. Sidney Suggs.
a After the song was finished tht
audience remained standing Will,
Rev. Collins invoked Divine bless
~ ing upon the exercises of the hou
and upon the future work of Ard
o more's public schools.
II Superintendent Hendrix followed
. in a brief talk to the pupils, urging
them to vacation study in prepara

the pupils and brought forth spon

Buy Stamps.

In conversation this morning
with Deputy Postmaster Ed Sand
lin the reporter learned that the
postal receipts of this week will
probably bring the business of the
postal year up to the average nec-
essary to be maintained in order
to secure a free mail delivery i'll
Ardmore.
This average has not been reach
ed yet, but as some of the best
patrons of the Office will make
liberal purchases today and tomor'
row it is thought that the required
amount of business will be done
Every body should lay in a month:
supply Of stamps today and tomOr
row as this week closes the posta
year. Last Saturday the required
amount was $357. Be sure that i
is secured.
