Outlines of Oklahoma.

It is not believed at Guthrie that the
supreme court win grant Taylor Kirk a
stay
Just at present Ell Reno seems to be
pulling the title OF Convention City of
the plum tree.
Dick Morgan is working heart and soul
for free homes. This is the time TO keep
the pot boiling
The convention for free homes at FL
Reno February 16 should be the biggest
convention ever held in Oklahoma
Some of those Indian stories located in
Oklahoma told by the New York papers,
would bring tears to the eyes Of a petri-
| fed mule.
Mr.. Gatlin is under arrest at Purcell
for shooting. On his trial his name may
have some weight Probably ne just could
not help it
If the Taylor Kirk hanging is post
poned viii the sheriffs of Oklahoma who
are to meet at Ell Reno also postpone
their meeting?
The same disease which Oklahoma has.
is prevalent in central Kansas, but in the
latter section attacks only the hands,
neck and face.
During the temporary let-up in bust
ness the saloon license of Blackwell has
been reduced to SIS month.
1t might be a good idea for the Okla
homa editors to get together and whale
into the paper trust. All the other associ-
ations are doing that.
Those burglars who went through a
Perry grocery store and ate lunch and
smoked a cigar before departing are too
cool for this climate. They ought to
live in Klondike.
The directors Of the Midland are to
build south from Wichita. That means
another railroad from Oklahoma and with
capital behind 1t which mas hitherto not
/ touched Oklahoma-Holland capital.
! An Oklahoma healer has a magazine
of his own on the market which shows
him holding broom with electric sparks
! flying from both ends and a coon song
written on the main part of the broom.
Ed. L. Peckham, John w. Beatty and
T. S. Chambers of Blackwell recently
! took a trip over the proposed route of
! the Frisco to Enid. and they say that
! everybody through the country wants the
/ road built.
/ Colonel Pollock dropped in on the sec
rotary of the interior the other day and
/ was taken off his feet by a reprimand
! for being off the reservation. How this
! will make the chiefs, the bucks, the
I sqpaws and papooses smile.
! Sometimes the mind simply runs down
/ like clock. and a man goes wandering
off over the earth without knowing any
thing, as Judge Brooks of Florida. who
has turned up at Guthrie, did. The queer
/ thing about it is that a man can wander
! all over the United States out of his mind
! and the people generally do not see that
j he is not sane
! Jerry Botkin is down in Oklahoma tell
! ing what marines he can find that Dem
mis- Flynn is not trying to pass free
/ homes bill. But though Oklahoma has a
marine law, she has mighty few marines.
j The knowing ones say that while Cal
lahan is not a candidate for congress,
4 his name will be sprung on the claim that
ne has never been beaten
/ Frank O'Neill. the popular agent of the
! Santa Fe at Oklahoma City, vas in Kan
sas City last week with a number of the
Kansas agents. He became a bosom
friend Of Charley Walker, agent at
Hutchinson. A few minutes after they
wpere introduced they were singing
/ Comrades They had never met be-
! fore 1t was just a case of fast friend
ship at first sight.
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock has
transmitted to congress a communication
submitting an estimate of appropriate
for the Choctaw orphan fund. The COM
munication states that the Choctaw or
phan lands in the state OF Mississippi
yet unsold shall be taken at 81. % per
acre, and the proceeds placed TO the
credit of the Choctaw orphan fund in
the treasury of the United States. The
number of acres as determined by the
general land office aggregates 257.12 of
undisposed land belonging ITO this fund.
The secretary recommends that 8, SOS 40
be placed to the credit of the Choctaws
in the United States treasury in payment
Of all orphan lands yet unsold in the
state of Mississippi. He also urges con-
gress to confer the power on the general
land office to dispose of this property,
as in the case of all public lands.
