value to US, and it is our purpose to pay

service rendered.
The propositions we make herein are
to all responsible individuals, in each ana
every locality. There is no monopoly III
the matter. Because an individual re-
turned the name of certain subscriber

Mr.. H. H. Horton, of Heath Spring,
we notice in The Review, weighed 729
pounds net instead of 600, as we had

T. J. Strait narrowly escaped a serious

lost his horses and might not have
escaped drowning himself f.''.''''Ihe

his character and his business are
entitled to some consideration and
protection. Mr.. Cain was dis
charged by the court after full
investigation, and the finding OF
the court ought to silence every
tongue as touching the transaction
in question. A misunderstanding
between he and Mr.. Shanahan
seems to have been all there was
to it.
1t has never been the policy of
this paper to cater to the local
prejudices of any class or clan, nor
to be swayed by any influence
however powerful, that tended to-
ward that which was manifestly
wrong in principle or practice. A
newspaper must necessarily gather
its news through devious channels
of information, therefore cannot
always be infallible, and error is
sometime mistaken for the truth.
So in the n-Shanahan transac-
ton, the first report printed made
Cain out pretty smooth swindler.
The report was corrected as soon
as the facts became known, and
the finding Of the court was given
the same publicity as was the err
roneous report. We have a SUI
preme contempt for scoundrels in
whatever garb they 60 forth and
therefore was somewhat severe on
Mr.. Cain, but when the facts be-
came known we have not hesitat-
ed to publish his vindicatlon. We
disclaim any intention of injuring
Cain or his business.

81 like The Chieftain and don't
want to do without it," was the
laconic expression of Judge Henry
Ross Of Locust Grove, in renewing
his subscription yesterday. Judge
Ross is of one of the oldest and
most honored families of native
Cherokees, and his endorsement is
priced. The Chieftain has always
been popular with the best ele-
ment among the Cherokee citizens
and is widely read among them.
The paper has never misled nor
misrepresented them. The scound-
rels who have from time to time
plundered the national treasury
are the fellows who find fault with
the paper. No man with hon
est purposes ever had occasion to
take issue with The Chieftain in
matters pertaining to the rights Of
the Indians.

Billy Shelton and Lud Churchill
they call themselves W. A. and
A. L. on their cards-two of the
warmest 'angels of commerce" on
the road, came in on us all in a
bunch Tuesday. The Register edi-
tor has known both the boys for
these many years. Shelton sells
clothing, Churchill is in the dry
goods line; singly either Of them
can talk an order out of a blind,
deaf and dumb man; hunting in
couples, nothing will escape them,
and the man who don't want TO
buy will have to take TO the woods.

has built up 8 large and very sue

Now let Oklahoma keep her
hands off the Indian Territory
untN the time arrives when the
people may decide what they de-
sire in the way of statehood.
Stand by the Indians till they get
individual titles to their lands, and
have something with which to en-
ter statehood. Until the Indians
get their business settled, and
have become United States citizens
in fact, 1t is the utmost folly to
talk about statehood. The people
of the Indian Territory are fully
competent to decide for themselves
and in their own good time will
decide as to statehood.

MK&T Reducts Rstes in Indian
Territory

Ever since the construction of the
Nj. X. & T.. Ry. through the Indian
Territory its local passenger rate be-
tween stations in the Indian Terri
tory has been on the basis OF five cents
a mile. The customary rate of pas
senger fares on railroads except in
sparsely settled country, is three
cents a mile. The population OF the
Indian Territory has grown rapidly;
there has been large increase OF
passenger traffic on this account, and
The Katy officials, recognizing the
wants of the people and the justice Of
SO doing, have voluntarily arranged
to reduce the local passenger rate to
a basis of three cents mile. This
reduction will take effect about Nov
ember flrst. There will be great re-
ioicing among the residents along
the line of the M. X. & Il.

There is a movement on foot to
run switch up the alley from the
Pee Gee track, taking in the all of
that part of the alley from near
the Kizer mill lots to State street.
There is some opposition and high
priced property to cross, but we
learn that several pieces of property
in the neighbOrhood where the op-
position was the greatest has been
slyly purchased, all track room will
be offered the road on these lots. A
city will never amount to much
whose citizens try to keep railroads
from laying their tracks up the alley
that means so much for the estab-
lishment of wholesale houses, as
this switch is intended. We say let
the roads have all the business al
leys if it will added to our CONNER
cial prosperity. We cannot keep
them repaired or clean and if the
railroad uses them, you can count
on them keeping them cleaned of
dead rats, rotten cabbage, and
other decaying matter.

Dry Thy Ewes.

Last night several Texarkana
beauties were made to weep briny
tears of sorrow, at news received
from what they thought reliable
source. They heard that Elijah
Mitchell, had left here for Hope
that morning, and had taken unto
himself wife, when they-(of sor-
row)--had every reason to believe
that Elijah was going to pop the
question to them, for had he not on
several occasions, when examining
the rings on their several fingers, at
divers times-swore that he loved
them aud them alone, and would
ever be their whortleberry. They
had their little cry out by morning,
and when the sun should have been
out warming the eastern horizon,
they we're ringing up the Texas Pro-
duce Company, where Elijah holds a
responsible position ana were send
ing him their best wishes for himself
and wife. The reporter was put on
the item and running Mr.. Mitchell
down, learned that his reported
marriage at Hope was "fake, " and
and he still was loyal to the charmS
of the Texarkana Young ladies.

Yesterday morning a negro shanty
belonging to L. Kingsburg was dis

responded, and were on the ground
and ready to fight fire but the pres
sure from the power house was not
sufficient to get water on the burn

by and see the flames conveyed to
the adjoining building belonging to
Conductor Evans, and from it to the
next one belonging to Mr.. Lenari,
of Fort Worth.

until the next return car carried
them back. They enjoyed the out

pleasure afforded them.

Beware of a Cough.

A cough is not a disease but a
symptom. Consumption and bron-
chitis, which are the most danger
GUS and fatal diseases, have for
their first indication a persistent
cough, and if properly treated as
soon as this cough appears, are
easily cured. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has proven wonderfully
successful, and gained its wide rep
utation and extensive sale by its
success in curing the diseases which
cause coughing. If it is not beue-
fetal it will not cost you cent.

Rotten Water Service.

There is one solution to the
successful operation of the water
works plant for this city, with the
present company, and that is for
them to cut off the main of pipes at
State Line and maintain a separate
pumping station for the West Side.
This might be asked of the COM
pany, not only by the citizens of
both sides of the line, but by the in
surance companies who have made
their rates, with the expectation of
receiving some protection from
the city, which does not give
them what they should have.
There is little of use for the city
to spend money for hose and employ
men to look after the fire wagons
and teams when they are useless on
account of poor water service. We
however hope for improvements
when new wells are ready for use.

"Four times has the occupant of

yet has the president been success
full in the second contest. Senator
Young cites each instance: John

in 1910; Benjamin Harrison and

money for it and stay with it and

Old granny Otis, who has had
charge of the United States army
in the Philippines, has given up and
is now on his way home. When he
went over there he announced that
with 10000 men he would quickly
squelch the insurgents; after about
years trial without success, he
asked for more soldiers, and for the
past six months has had a force of
more than double this number, and
still the Filipinos keep up the fight.
He has at last given lit up as bad
job, to come home-in this, at least
he has shown some sense. Now let
somebody take hold and crush out
the war with "neatness and dis
patch"
