She Gets the Children.

The application of Mrs. Petra Rustad
to have the findings amended in the di-
vorce case of Hans Rustad against her,
so that the children might be awarded
to her, was heard by Judge Jaggard, of
the district court, at special term yes
terday, and granted. There was no op-
position.
Mrs Rustad went to Norway on a visit
last August, and says that during her
absence Hans obtained divorce and the
custody of the four minor children on
the ground of desertion. Mrs. Rustad re-
turned to st. Paul in May and was sur

UNDER INTERSTATE LAW
NORTHERN PACIFIC PLAN TO GET
>ROUND THE LAW FORBID
DING CONSOLIDATION
SHIP BY WAY OF SUPERIOR
All Rates Would Be Made on That
Basis and Include IL De-
tour Into Wis
cOnsin.

The failure of the Northern Pacific di-
rectors to take action regarding the trans
fer of the ST. Paul & Duluth property was
a favorite theme of discussion in railroad
circles yesterday. The matter, according
to the general opinion. was one which
was scheduled to come up at the New
York meeting. The failure to act is va
riously construed, many well-posted rail
road men leaning to the theory that the
consolidation plans have failed. The alb
sence of direct advices from officials of
either road makes it difficult to sum-
marize the situation accurately.
Unoficially the information comes that
the railroad commissioners favor the idea
of failure of the transfer plans. An Of
fetal not d member Of that body made
the following statement yesterday, when
asked what the railroad commission
thought Of the present probability that
the consolidation plans would go through:
Il do not care to go on record as Off
cially declaring that the railroad commits
sion believes the consolidation a fail
ure. Yet, at the same time, think 1 am
not far wrong in saying that the commits
sioners have been of the opinion that the
Even if the Duluth property We're now
to become part of the Northern Pacific,
this would have no effect of changing the
situation. The law would still apply as
fOrcibly as at present, and the railway
commission would have the same grounds
on which to base its opinion that the con-
solidation of the two properties is ille-
gal"
This statement refutes the declara ton
that tXO ic c
at once, the interested companies would
gain point on the law, and would estab-
lish themselves on ground from which
they could carry on an advantageous
fight Now that both the stockholders
of the Duluth and the directors of the
Northern Pacific have failed to take ac-
ticn, the situation contains much in sub
sanitation of the plans of the Northern
Pacific to put the Duluth under man
ager favorable to Northern Pacific inter-
estS, and conduct it is a separate line al
ready outlined in the G o e.
At the railroad commission offices ves-
terday a new complication was spoken of
which, if it became operative, might re-
suit in placing the Duluth out of the
power of the state commission 1t is
learned that the Northern Pacific would
use the Duluth, if consolidation plans car
rjed, for its business between the cities
ard the head Of the lakes, making rates
via the Duluth to Carlton, in Minnesota,
and via its own line from Carlton to
West Superior and Ashland and to Du-
luth. This short detour in carrying frei- HI
into Duluth would take it a few miles
through Wisconsin. and make all business
carried in this manner interstate business,
subject only to the orders of the inter-
state commission. In connection with the
fact that the interstate commission has
practically been denied the right to fix
rates, the Northern Pacific's position
would then be almost unassailable.

cases were tried by jury. He says
the quarter has been one of the
hghtest he has experienced, so far
as trials is concerned, but one of
the heaviest in the shape of de-
mands for information.
The information most in demand
is on the subject of proposed al
lotments, and how and when to
make applications and declarations
for proposed allotments, and what
to do with the non-citizen renter,
and many similar questions.
He says although it is not his
business to answer such questions,
yet the people are thirsty for infor-

commissioner ought to know, if he
does not, all about these things.

A Timely Suggestion.

One of the most public spirited
men in the city suggests that in
view of the fact that the business
houses close now at : O'Clock, that
a military company be organized.
The necessary drilling and march
ing to thoroughly train a military
company carries with il charm
that is almost irresistible to chiv-
alric young men and creates a SEN
timent of patriotism that lever
fushes the brain in times Of peace
in the absence of the drum beat
and the soldierey uniform.
\ suggestion that naturally fol-
lows the above IS the organization
of a bard. We have plenty OF
youthful talent lying dormant in
the city that would eagerly grasp
the opportunity OF organization
and only encouragement and some
evidences OF appreciation are need
ed to start the ball TO rolling that
would result in the organization OF
a military company and band.

Fruit Outlook.

The cold wave of Wednesday and
Wednesday night was quite severe
for the time of the year and it was
thought that the fruit crop would
be almost entirely destroyed. Mr..
Fairchild, the well known fruit
grower, stated yesterday that no
damage was done to his fruit. His
farm is on high ground. Others
who live in the valleys claim that
the fruit crop was undoubtedly
damaged to some extent, but not
SO badly as they had expected.
The general opinion seems to be
that if no additional frost falls, the
fruit crop will be above the aver

Needs for and Results of the Pend

ing Amendment.
Editor Ardmoreite.
You ask me what, in my opinion,
will be the effect Oh the towns should
the proposed townsite measure pass.
To answer you fully must discuss
briefly the causes that led to the
amendment being offered.
am aware that / am accused of
meddling into other peoples busi-
ness because have urged that the
amendment pass or that that the in
terror department give us practically
the same relief by some rule, order
or regulation, which !: can do under
the law as it is.
treaty was agreed to it was not COM
templated that it would take five,
ten or twenty years to survey, plat
and sell the towns.
The law has been on the statute
book for more than a year and one
town of less than 300 has been sur
veyed, plated and sold, and it is
said that the city of Ardmore's plat
is about completed. There are at
least forty towns in the Chickasaw
nation. In the Choctaw nation two
towns have been plated, one sold
and lone offered for sale at such a
high price that but few are able to
buy, and one other town plat is al
most completed, Muskogee is said to
be plated and the Wagner plat is
on file. l am informed that SAC, 900
has been expended in all the sur
veys.
The department at Washington is
not pleased with the result, to say
the least of it. The people are not
satisfied and at a large and repre-
sentative convention they said they
were not satisfied. The convention
censored no one, believing that the
tOwnsite commissioners we're not to
blame, and urged it's delegates to
Washington to plead for aid and help
for these boards that they might
push the work to an early compile
ton.
For our pains we are being re-
warded with sneers and probably
we urge the needful helps for these
boards i: we receive the condemna-
ton of those we are trying to help?
The people, "honest Iniun" and
non-citizen alike. want the towns
surveyed so that the Indian can get
his money and the non-citizen his
title. To say that seven-tenths OF
the people are not impatient is a
perversion of the truth.
Who wants the delay? Vino should
be served; the people are few in
dividuals? The purpose of the law
was that the people should be served
: and l loose a guess if they are not
served in the near future.
Towns are being dwarfed, business
is stagnated, factories, mills, anC
enterprises of various kinds refuse

Odd Fellows returned Friday night
or rather Saturday morning from
their labors.
From what can be cleaned the
is committal, never
theless, a minority report is in
order.
Last Saturday morning parties
began leaving here-Sunday and
even to Monday, saw the three
linked brethren heading for Vinita.
None started for that place with
out getting there, and Ardmore's
representatives were among the
first.
Ensconced in the Western hotel,
nothing that would or could re-
tract from the comfort of the guests
was limited at. from the fact that
Mrs. Smith, like all noble Rebekahs,
stood at the we'll -. The laugh
is not necessary The Ard
more delegation was not dry, but
they went to the we'll. A horse
will follow a water course; natural
instinct teaches the brute. SO with
the mamie will go to the welI-and
right here is a point for Ardmore.
Vinita, town with say 5000 peo-
pie (from our view), has in sight
two artesian wells. There is super
abundance of water, but it's not
good.
Returning to our notes, the Re-
bekah Assemblyand Grand Encamp-
ment met in secret session Monday.
Some very important business per-
tanning to the order was transacted
and will appear in the proceedings.
Tuesday Grand Master Clardy of
Purcell opened the Grand Lodge of
Odd Fellows of the Indian Terri
tory with a full representation.
In the afternoon. owing to the
rain the parade was dispensed with.
but at the opera house a love feast
was held by the sisters and broth
ers Of the order.
Wednesday witnessed the organ
ization at work inj every banch,
and at night Vinita showed her
bounteousness IN a splendid ban
quet. The only thing detracting
from the occasion being the late
ness of the hour. This. however.
held good only to few and the
others enjoyed themselves as only
good Odd Fellows and Rebekahs
can.
Thursday was a work day in the
order, and no time was lost in It's
observance. An eagerness on the
part of some of the representa-
tives to get home was very appar
ent, which. instead of diminishing
from the work, produced an incen
tive to squirt the business OF the
meeting.
However. the entire business
session was brought to clos'
