nolds August %, about ten miles east of
Anadarko, in the Washita valley. Spec-
ial Agent Hinley is in charge of a second
corps located thtrty-five miles southeast
OF Anadarko. The preliminary work of

The agents of the department are eau
toned not to allow selections for aIlot-
ments to be made in any part of the
reservation now occupied for military
school. or religious purposes. or now held
for public uses. In every case where q
member of the tribes was already in the
reservation the agents are instructed 10
allow them TO make selections in the
region already located and improved. so
that these Indians may retain their i'm
preVements. Each allotment is TO be
distinctly and carefully outlined and
marked with substantial monuments
great care being taken that there shall he
no question in future as to the boundary
OF aliotments. They are expected to urge
upon the Indians the selection of the
best lands for agricultural purposes.

agents Of the department announcement
is made that the new line of the Kiowa

Of it the Kingfisher Free Press says: It
was about i o'clock Friday morning be-
fore the convention got through with its
business. After the county and council
conventions had concluded their work,
the Second commissioner district conven-
ton assembled in the northeast corner
of the han. J. B. Davis, present COM
missioner of that district, had given 1t
out cold and fiat that he would not I'M
der any circumstances, be a candidate for
reelection. This announcement was not
altogether distasteful to the Democrats
of his district. Several votes were taken
which stood II for Davis and Il for G.
w. Grimm. The tie could not be broken
by argument or persuasion. The seven
teen votes against Davis were stubborn
and immovable. There appeared no way
out of the difficulty, until some one sug-
gested that the question be settled by
casting lots. Gambling is an alluring
vice. In every case of hazard, each par
ty hopes and expects to win In this case
straws were arranged and drawn, the
long straw for Davis and the short straw
for Grimm. 1t was novel method of
selecting candidate for one of the most
responsible offices in the county.

ANOTHER RAILROAD PROJECTED
From Hedford Over to the Vicinity Of
Augusta.

Guthrie, o. T. Sept S-The railroad
building war in western Oklahoma which
the Eagle has long predicted, but which
had seemingly passed, has broken out
again. South of Kiowa, Kan, is large
tract Of fine territory untraversed by
railroads. The Rock Island. Santa Fe
and Missouri Pacific have held it invio
late. But the Orient road which is not
SO much Of Joke" as some Of the older
railroad men declare. has taken posses
sion Of the Augusta grade and is prepar-
ing TO occupy the country. In the mean
while the other roads are awake to their
possible loss of this country. The latest
move appears at Medford, and it is likely
that there will soon be building from that
point line TO Woods county. The Med
ford Patriot says Of the meeting held at
Medford in the interest of the new line:
quite an enthusiastic meeting was held
Monday evening Of the citizens of Med
ford to consider a proposition of the Kan
sas City, Oklahoma and Southern Rail-
road Construction company to build a
road from Medford Southwest making
Augusta, Woods county, or Whereabouts
one of its, objective points The CONNER
NAa4 bIuD Ids bccu WUFhlHS WIN the pro-
jectors of the enterprise for about three
weeks with the success of securing a
great reduction from their first propo-
sition. As it now stands it is an assured
terminus, for time at least four-stall
round house and other terminal necessi-
ties, the benefits of a road in a direction
from which Medford has received very
little trade for 5000 Who or what com
pany will operate the road when complet-
ed is known only to the projectors, but
there is much evidence to indicate that
the company or companies, as it may be
two or more are already operating not
far from Medford. 1t is quite evident
that no company would operate forty
miles of road without other connections;
so it may confdentally be anticipated
that the road will be extended southwest
to connect, with other lines, and possibly |
north or northeast to connect with other |
lines in this direction. 1t is proposed to |
raise the money by placing an indebted |
ness upon the town in a manner that will |
defer the payment for a number of years. |
so that the future benefciaries NAV helm |
pay the debt instead of those now resi- |
dents putting it up. The Patriot sees
considerable benefit in the project and
hopes for its early completion

DEMAND LEGISLATIVE REFORMS

Guthrie, Q. T., Sept S.-TaIk of what
lhe next legislature viii 90 and What re-
forms II VIII inaugurate Is now In the
an The Republicans OF the Seventh
representative district. which nominated
John Embry OF Lincoln county for he
house. incorporate in their platform sew
eial needed reforms. They resolved In
favor OF inserting these planks:
We favor the enactment Of a law re-
quiring all custodians OF the public funds
TO account for and pay TO the proper. au-
thoEity all interest or bonus received BY
them from the deposit of such funds. and
that the public shall have interest on an
such deposits so far as the same can be
provided for consistent with the safe
keeping OF such funds.
We believe in liberal support for the
public schools and educational institu-
tons of the territory.
We regret the location OF large and
contiguous bodies OF indemnity school
land in rancoln county, imposing
upon our people occupying the same a
greater burden in contributing to the
territorial school fund than is borne BY
the neighboring counties. and depriving
our county. some townships. and many
school districts OF the tax revenue which
they, otherwise, would realize from these
lands. We demand such school Iesisla-
ton as Will secure TO the iessees fun
value for all the improvements placed on
land, and the preference right 10 a re-
newal Of the lease; and that small per
cent OF the rentals paid on the school
land be returned TO, the school district
in which such land is located as its spec-
ial fund TO compensate such district. IN
part. for the loss of local tax on such
land.
That the improvements on the school
land be subject to taxation for school
township county and territorial pur-
poses, and that such improvements be
excluded from the appraisement upon
which the rentals are based.
We demand that justices Of the peace
be given jurisdiction of all petty oftenses
that the selection of iuries for the trial
of criminal cases in the probate court be
simplihed that witnesses receive fees
when compelled 10 attend the trial Of
criminal cases in the district court that
the cost of jurors in civil cases in the
district court be taxed as costs In the
case and collected from ntigants for the
reimbursement of the county.
We demand the amendment Of our In
terest laws so as TO allow the defense Of
''unearned interest" to installment notes
and other like devices resorted to by
mortgage companies in this territory
whereby they are able TO foreclose on
land for interest only. before the interest
is due.
We favor the enactment Of law de-
fining more clearly the powers OF school
boards in counties which have or which
may establish separate schools for white
and colored children and that each color
be given more control over their own
schools and the hiring of their own teach
ers and that the separate school fund
levied by such counties be distributed so
as TO give equal facilities 10 white and
colored children.

AN IRISH JUDGE.
Sallies of Wit from q Jurlst with q

sallies of Wit from Jurlst with a
Brogue.
Lord Morris, always wit and now
distinguished judge, comes from Gal
way and has never lost the mellifluous
brogue of West of Ireland folk. One
day he was sitting at the Four Courts
as lord chief justice of Ireland, when
a young barrister from the north rose
nervously to make his first motion.
The judge had declared that no one lis
tening to himself would ever take him
for anything but an Irishman, which
was perfectly correct But Galway
could not understand Antrim. The
lord chief justice leaned over to ask
the associate where the barrister
hailed from. County ANTRIM was
the response. Then asked his lordship
of the official: Did We liver come
across SIGH a frightful accint in the
course of yer loife?" At another time
it fell to his lot to hear case at Cole
raine, in which damages were claimed
from a veterinary surgeon for having
poisoned valuable horse. The issue
depended upon whether certain num-
Der of grains Of a particular drug
could be safely administered to the
animal. The dispensary doctor proved
that he had often given eight grains
to a man, from which it was to be in
ferred that II for a horse was not ex-
cessive. Never mind yer eight grains,
docthor," said the judge. 1--WE all
know that some poisons are cumulative
In effect, and We may go to the edge Of
ruin with IMMUNITY. But tell me this:
The II grains-wouldn't they kill the
divil himself if. he swallowed them?"
The doctor was annoyed and pompous-
ly replied, II don't know, my lord; I
never had him for patient" From
the bench came the answer: "Ah, no,
docther, We nivir had, more's the pity!
