Nef's Management Feels That
Ground Is Lost.
WANTS NATIONAL ISSUES
Q;aoaaad odd Ionr;to n;o
Discussed and Territorial
Issues Left Alone.

| Guthrie, o. T., Sept. 29.-During the
coming week Neffs managers will send
him word to direct the campaign wholly
into lines of the national issues.
This is an attempt to divert Flynn from
talking of matters interesting Oklahoma.
because in that field he has made Neff
! look so perfectly ridiculous in the eyes Of
the voters that Neff has not even en-
| Unused the small audiences which have
turned out to hear him. Neff has real
lied this himself and during the last
week has been staying clear Of free
homes, statehood and other territorial
questions and talking wildly about ma
donal affairs.
An instance of the size of his audiences
is given by the Weatherford Republican,
which says: Last Tuesday night the
much advertised Judge Neff, of Popu-
hstic fame, with congressional aspira-
tons on the confusion ticket, instructed
an intelligent but very small audience on
the issues of the day, as his lordsllip saw
them through the blackened glasses of
kickerdom, fault-finding and ants against
everything that is wise or otherwise. The
judge is a good speaker, with a SPLEEN
did voice, one of the first requirements of
a Populist. We were disappointed in his
beard, however. The judge told US a
great many things that the people in this
neck of the woods had never heard of
before, such as the Boer war, the Fill
pinos Mark Hanna, imperialism, trusts,
ETC., and told US how the Republicans
had done nothing right. To our chargin,
he did not tell us how the prophecies
Of Billy Bryan in So turned out, he did
not tell US that money was getting
scarcer, times harder and interest higher.
He did not tell us what he had done in
the past from which to judge what he
may do in the future if elected; did not
even say a word about his variety thea
ire. We were simply disappointed. We
are interested in the welfare of Custer
county and Oklahoma more than we are
in the Filipinos and Beers and we wanted
him to show us that he can do more for
Oklahoma than Dennis Flynn can We
have no prejudices against parties or men
and Will vote for our best interests when
ever they are made sef-evident to US,
but until then we are for Dennis Flynn
and the Republican party
That the Neffites are disheartened at
the rush of voters to Flynn and the
apathy evidenced at Neff's meetings is
shown by the following desperate appeal
in the Shawnee Democrat: IF the people
of Oklahoma don't defeat Mr.. Flynn for
congress ii is because they won't vote
for their interest when an opportunity
presents itself Mr.. Bryan's election and
a Democratic congress is indirectly be-
ing conceded by the Republican leaders
To elect Mr.. Flynn to congress would be
an Endorsement of imperialism. That
would be such a stain on the good name
of Oklahoma that congress would be
slow in promoting our desired ends. Let
the people of Oklahoma favor the per-
petuadon of safe and sound republican
form of government. The only way to
demonstrate how you stand is to vote
against Mr.. Flynn

CANADIAN FOR DENNIS FLYNN
To an Extent to sKake Previous Msior-
titles Ashamed OF Themselves.

FL Reno, o. T, Sept 29.-Cansdian
county is preparing to roll up a Flynn
vote this fan that will outdo all previous
efforts. The passage OF the free hosne
bill has benefited Canadian county nearly
as much as any other county in oklaho-
ma Moreover the general belief that
there VIII be a Republican administra-
ton and a Republican congress for the
next few years makes the Populists and
Democrats in this county anxious TO see
a man returned 10 congress who can have
some influence and do something for the
territory. Flynn's majority in Canadian
county was 81 and 1t will be wonderfully
increased this year as a result OF the
success with the free homes bill. The
Republican nominees for the legislature.
Or. A. H jackson for council and J. VI
Faris and Thos. R Reid for representa-
tives, are all clean men with good rec
ords. and their election Is almost certain.
There is almost as much certainty. tao.
that the greater part q the county tickle,
VIII be elected. IN short Canadian
county offers az this time every inssica-
ton OF giving a very largely increased
Republican majorities ali up and down

TO PREVENT GAME SHIPMENTS
Deputy United states Marshals to Act
Under Lacey Law.

Glthrie, 0. T., Sept 29-Both in the In
dian Territory and in Oklahoma the au-
thorities are preparing absolutely to pre-
vent the shipment of game this winter
Already hunters have begun shipping
game out of the Indian nation and action
to prevent this is being taken.
In Oklahoma the deputy marshals are
determined to have close supervision over
the matter. The new awakening in this
line comes because Of the passage of the
Lacey law at the last session of con-
gress The offenders will now have to
do. not with a territorial law. but fed
eral one
The Lacey bills object was to enlarge
the powers OF the department of agricul
ture, prohibit the transportation by in
terstate commerce of game killed in vio-
lation Of local laws and for other pur-
poses.
The law reads: BE it enacted by the
senate and the house of representatives
of the United States OF America in
congress assembled, That the duties and
powers Of the department of agriculture
are hereby enlarged so as TO include the
and restoration Of game birds and other
wild birds. The secretary OF agriculture
is hereby authorized to adopt such meas
ures as may be necessary 10 carry out
the purposes of this set and 10 purchase
such game birds and other wild birds as
may be required therefor. subject how
ever, 10 the laws of various states and
territories. The object and purpose Of
this act Is to aid IN the restoration OF
such birds in those parts Of the United
States adapted thereto where the same
have become scarce or extinct. and also
to regulate the introduction OF American
or foreign birds or animals in localities
where they have not existed heretofore.

LOCATION OF INDIAN RESERVE
In the kfowa Country Has a Big
Fight an It.

Guthrie, o. T., Sept. ga new fight is
up in the Kiowa country. The Comanche
News in exploiting says: "A mass meet
ing of the citizens all along the line of
the Rock Island, from Chiekasha TO Ter
raj is called for Monday, October S, AT
Duncan. There is concerted action upon
the part Of the stock men to have the
government lay out the 100000 acre reser-
walton for the Indians in the Fit. Sill
country, along the east side of that coun-
try. If such is done, it of course means
death blow to the towns and country
along the Rock Island road. We are all
interested in this matter and should at
tend this meeting and do what we can
to avert the work of our enemies. We
say enemies. for such they are They
charge the towns along the Rock Island
land justly, so far as that goes with
being largely instrumental in securing
the act of congress to open the reserva-
ton to settlement. We meekly bow to
the soft impeachment, and are glad it
has been our privilege to thus serve the
interest Of the general public. The News
took up the matter of opening the coun-
try last winter, after the stockmen had
bought or bulldozed affidavits from un-
principled parties in the reservation to
the effect that the country was unfit for
agricultural purposes, and refuted these
affidavits with others made by reputable
citizens Of the country, and it Is ready
to repeat the dose, with a little vitriol
added, if the stockmen haven't yet
enough. Suffice it to say, that a reser-
walton along the east side, which would
include some, if not the best part, of the
country, would be of little value, indeed,
TO the stockmen."

HOUSTON TOO NEAR THE SEA
For the Comfort of One Family Who
Moves 20 Oklahoma

Guthrie, O. T., Sept. 29.-Oklahoma is
getting its share of people who will no
longer brave the gulf coast. The Trans
script Of Norman notes this: Mr.. and
Mrs. Mark Britton and family, who have
been living in Houston, Texas, for some
months, returned Monday and will make
Norman their home in the future. Mr..
Britton expects to build upon his land
near the university.
Mr.. Britton says that while Houston
escaped comparatively unhurt from the
storm, as compared with Galveston, still
the wind was very strong on the day of
the Galveston hurricane and much dam
age was done to Houston property. 1t
was plenty strong enough, at least, to
stroy all of Burton's desire to live there
longer, and he got his family away as
soon as possible.

ROBBED EMPLOYERS HOME
In Amos BOyce the Police Capture an
Old Observation-Disclosures from
the Army.

Amos Boyce, alias Sullivan, was arrested
Wednesday by Detectives Dempsey and Jor-
gense0, charged with robbing the home OF
his employer, T. f. Gillian. At the time OF
his arrest he was wearing a part of the
stolen clothing. Being identified by Mr..
Gillian, Boyce pleaded guilty as charged and
was locked up in the city Jail.
The police regard this as an important
capture. Boyce, besides being a notorious
thief and an old offender, is a deserter from
the United States army. He has been in
cutody of the Omaha police several times
before,
T. f. Gillian is proprietor of a dairy be-
tween Albright and Avery, about seven
miles south OF the city. Boyce had been in
his employ only a few days. On the night
of December IS he was left alone in charge
of the house while the family went to the
city and he made the most of this oppor-
tunity to ransack the premises and steal
everything Of value that could be carried
away. The stolen goods represent a value OF
about $3.50 and consisted principally of
clothing and jewelry.
