Mr.. Wiekham Declines TO Run for Congress
Next Fall.

Senator Henry T. Wickham has dect.
ded not to become a candidate for CON-

He stated Monday that he felt
highly honored by reason Of the

pressed desire to support him for this

before the convention, he said. This
is an office that any man might be
proud to fill, but there are reasons,
which need not mention, that induce
me not to aspire to this high position
at this time. Therefore you can state
that / will not stand in the way Of any
aspirant, or aspirants, for Congress next

him the Creek treaty for revision
and the latter having reached an
understanding that the Cherokee
delegation to be sent to Washing
ton will be given foil power to
make such changes and alterations

manded by congress-that is up
on the assumption that President
Mckinley signs the bill approprl-

This he has not done, but it is un-
derstood lhat some arrangement
has been made by which the ex
penses of the delegations will be
paid out of the money in the treas
ury to the credit of the tribes.
The president has returned to
the secretary of the interior the
bills passed by the Cherokee and
Greek councils authorizing the ap-
pointment of a representative at
Washington to look after the in
terests of the two tribes. These

GOVERNOR G0EBEL.
Contest Decided in his Favor
Last Night.

The contestboards Of the legisla-
ture at Frankfort, KY, decided last
night that Wm. Goebel was enti-
tied to the seat of governor of the
state, while he lay at the point of
death from an assassins bullet.
The boards having in charge the
contests between Goebel and Tay-
lor for governor, and Beckman and
Marshall for lieutenant governor,
met at 7 o'clock last night in the
city ball to consider the evidence
submitted to them, and prepare
their report to the legislature. A
few legal authorities were read to
them a. the request Of Senator Al
len, who wished light shed upon a
few doubtful points. The vote was
then taken and by a strict party
vote of 10 TO 1, William Goebel
was declared to have been legally
elected governor of Kentucky.
The Beckham- Marshall contest
was then voted upon snd a strict
party vote of 8 to 2 settled this
matter.
Each one of the number of both
committees announced that he had
made up his mind as TO the merits
of the case, and voted promptly, las
his name was called.
An effort was made by a number
of the democrats to get together
quorum of both houses, hold a
night session, receive the reports
of the two committees at once and
adopt them and declare GOebel
governor OF Kentucy before morn
ing. They were anxious to give
him the honor before be died. So
many legislators had gone to Lex
ipgton and Louisville that it was
found impossible to carry out the
programme. 1t is a certainty that
Goebel will be made governor if ne
lives.

Cnrling Iron Tragedy.

iron down between her clothing
and her body. and it went wrig-
Cling and sizzling down until 1t
was beyond her reach. The scene
was awful. The young lady jump

expressions indicating that she was
in pain. In the meantime the
house was filled with the odor OF
baked backbone and tenderloin.
Her parents came rushing into the
Z
room and found her executing the
cooniiRe and thought her crazy.
The old man threw a pitcher of
water on her, the mother threw a
Quilt over her but the curling iron
was still getting in its work. She
tried to tell them what was the
matter. but she could only gasp:
"You dodblasted old idiots, take
it oull" But her puzzled parents
didn't know what she meant, and
thinking she was violently insane,
got a rope and tied her. The curl
ing iron then turned over and
baked the vertsbrae and COM
menced to bake The ribs. She
kicked and squalled like a camp
meeting of cats, and the neigh
bors came rushing in.
Finally she managed TO tell what
was the matter; her mother ripped
her corset with q butcher knife
and the curling iron dropped out
smelling like hog killing time and
fried cracklings. Now the girl

LOBBYISTS AND GRAF TERS
Bad Lot of Them Pretend to
Represent the Territory

Prominent men, lobbyists and
grafters generally from Indian
Territory and vicinity are in Wash
ington in force working on matters
ofgreat importance to the people OF
the territory All kinds Of schemes
are being devised mainly for the
purpose of making fees. 1t iesas-
tonishing how sincere these fell
lows are in the advocacy OF certain
schemes and measures in which
they are not interested, or have no
remote connection, except in ape
cuniary sense, having received a
little fee from some of the big fell
lows interested. But they all tell
the same storys how the people, of
the territory would be benefited
by he enactment of some law
which they have been paid 70 lob.
by through the house and senate.
These grafters are TO be found In
every section Of the city and they
hail from Texas, Louisiana, Ar
kansas, Oklahoma, Indian Terri
tory, Kansas and adjacent states.
= And it is surprising to see the
thriving business they are doing
Poor, gullable creatures, in the
territory, whe have more money
than common sense, employ these
grafters VINO have no more lnf1u-
ence than the motormen on the
electric cars with the law makers
TO further their claims. AS a re-
suit little il accomplished for zoe
territory At any session OF con-
.gress.
But there are some men IN
Washington who stand well and
who are able TO accomplish results
although they may not be OF vital
interest to the territory. OF this
class Mr.. Owens is probably the
most conspicuous. He is here
trying to secure the payment TO
the Cherokee Indians of the ST.
100000 which il is claimed the
government owes the tribe, and
about which so much has been said
in the territorial papers recently
Thus Ear he is meeting with no
success and there seems to be no
probability that later in the ses'
sion things will change.
The townsite question is now
before the interior department. for
consideration. Some Of the most
astute promoters of money-making
schemes are now giving the SUBJ
ject their undivided attention and
presenting their views at the In
terror department with more force
than discretion. Among this list
is Wiley o. Cox, of Kansas City,
Col. Covert, Of Texas, and many
others. But there seems no prob
ability that a decision will be
reached soon. The secretary un-
derstands the reasons that prompt
the majority of the advocates oi
= the various schemes and is pro-
ceeding cautiously.
