Instead he found a remarkable degree

a number OF uncontested petitions
for divorce. Franklin +. Owen was
counsel for the petitioners in all the
cases.
The fret case was that of Delina lie
Fort against Bernard lie Fort. Mrs. LIE

cruelty. The reason for the cruelty was
jealousy his wife thought. Mr.. lie Fort
pretended to be something of fore
teller of coming events for he told his
wife that she would die by his hands.
The parties lived in Harris and Scituate
at different times. Once Mrs. lie Fort
said her husband had knocked her
down; at other times he had beaten her
more mildly. The divorce was granted.

excitement here over a strike of what
is reputed TO be a very rich white

The ground has been prospected for
many years and heavy cuts were made

presence of the precious metal. A hole
four feet deep has been made and a

This, it is insisted by members Of
the committee, would greatly
expedite the work in the nation
and assist in putting the Territory
in condition for territorial govern
ment a. an early date.
Last Thursday there arrived in
Washington a competing delega-
tIon from the Cherokee nation un-
der the leadership of Mr.. Frank
Boudinot, who claim they are the
rightful representatives of the peo-
pie of the nation and that the dele
CATION brought here by Chief Buff
fington has no au hority to act for
the Cb erOkees. They claim that
the Burlington delegation was not
selected by the Cherokee council
nor by mass meetings of the peo-
pie, and, therefore, have no legal
status whatever. They are opposed
to many of the provisions of the
Cherokee treaty and propose to
carry toe fight into congress.

AGAINST SINGLE STATEHOOD.

The correspondent Of the Kan
sas City Star who attended the
South McAlester convention made
some remarkable discoveries which
he is now daily unfolding
the Star from his room in
a Guthrie hotel. One of the
most marvellous discoveries made
was that a majority of the dele
gates at that great convention were
in favor of making a single state of
Indian Territory and Oklahoma.
Here is the logic of his reasoning:
at is safe TO say" he says, "that
a majority of the delegates present
believed that one strong state,
such as the two territories would
make, would be better than two
small ones. Politically, the dem
ocrats were generally against sin.
gle statehood and the republicans
for it," When this statement is
analyzed and stripped of its ver-
bage it will read about this way:
"a majority of the South McAles-
ter convention were republicans,
and therefore in favor of single
statehood" Such statements are
parsdoxical In themselves, but
Notwithstanding should not go un-
contradicted, No fact connected
with the territorial convention at
south town is better known than
that a large-yea an overwhelming
majority of the delegates were
democrats of the strictest sect.
They were not selected on account
of their democracy to be sure, but
they came from strongly demo-
cratic communities and their selec-
ton was natural and inevitable.

FAMILY TRAGEDY.
J. L. HensIey Killed Near
TahIequah.

Special advices to the Sayings
from Tahlequah say that J. L.
Hensley, the writing school teach
er, who was struck on the head
with a stick of stove wood by a
step-son, Bert Bean, died Friday.
1t seems that Hensley and a
daughter of his wife, Miss Bean,
becams involved in a quarrel, and
that Bert Bean, a brother of the
girl, took up the quarrel by ap-
pearing on the scene with a stick
of stove wood. The BOY struck
Hensley on the head twice, the
last lick proving fatal after a
weeks suffering.
Hersley was well known around
Tahlequah and was considered as
a quiet peaceable citizen.

The Perry correspondent, after
a silence of several weeks has
again broke loose in the metropoli-
tan press. Here is the latest:
1.-The Otoe and Iowa tribes of In
dians have broken off all friendly
relations and declare they will not
visit one another hereafter.
1t is al due to the eating Of dog
meat by the Iowa tribe. At their
quarterly feasts the Iowa Indians
slaughtered hundreds of fat dogs,
fed the meat to their guests and ate
it themselves. The Otoes became
disgusted with eating dog meat and
read the riot act TO their neighbors,
saying that they would not appear
at their feasts again if any more
canine meat were served to them.
The Iowas replied that their faith
ers had ieasted on dog meat, and
that they were true to tribal ira
ditions. So relations between the
two bands have been broken and
no more visiting with each other
will take place."

THE FRISCO EXTENSION.
Forty Miles of the Grade Will
be Completed Soon.

Messrs. P.W. Johnson and c. ".
Fought, contractors, and who are
building the Frisco extension from
Sapulrs to Denison, were in the
city Monday en- route to Holden
vile, where they will take teams
over the route south. These gen.
tlemen are the heaviest railroad
contractors in the United States,
and their contract with the Frisco
calls for the building and equip
ment of the load and amounts to
nearly s5,OOO,OO0. To a Capital
reporter Mr.. Johnson said, that
the road bed from Sapulpa to
Deep Fork, a distance of forty
miles, will be completed within
the next ten days, and will be
ready Tor the steel long before it
arrives, which will be about the
middle of May. 1t will be laid as
rapidly as possible. From Deep
Fork south there are four locating
parties in the field. Mr.. Bullets
corps is locating the 65 miles to
the Canadian, and Mr.. Barnes
from the Canadian to the Washita.
Between the Washita and Denison
two parties are in the field and two
lines being run. 1.-THE north survey
is taken then the road will miss
Tishomingo about twelve miles.
II the south line should be chosen,
then the line will pass the Chicka-
saw capital about five miles on the
other side. So in either event
that town will be left out. The

Holdelville, and that town owes
its good luck largely to the fact
the bridge contractors found a SOL
id rock across the Canadian near
that place.

poses, Mr.. johnson said the mat

Keepfur Yeasf.

Any yeast of any kind should be
kept, when stored, at temperature as
low as possible above freezing. When
we remember that yeast is a plant
and consider it as we would a house
plant, we will not allow 1t to freeze
CT to be scalded. When we are keep
ing yeast we wish to prevent the plant
from growing and yet not injure it;
therefore we keep it dormant or at as
Iow a temperature without freezing
it as we can. When we wish the plant
TO grow, to raise bread with it, we
raise the temperature around it to
about % degrees, or blood heat, and
this starts it to growing rapidly, for.
like all lower forms of vegetation, its
growth when once properly started is
very rapid, providing it is kept at an
evenly warm temperature. Yeast grows
rapidly In a room where the temper
ature is so or even 20 degrees, or much
less than blood heat.-N. Y. Tribune

asking that the non citizen be re-

that the Indian be enjoined from
taking possession of his allotment.
