that, in the humble opinion OF your
pastor the place for members OF this

be in this place listening to your own
pastor rather than listening to the
words of that pompous prelate at the

ION the following Thursday morning
the Baptist went out upon the street
seeking for some OF his congregation
who had not been at the Wednesday
evening meeting. The first one be
found was a deacon.
"'Well, deacon. he asked, were you

ROYALTY
On the Coal Mined in the Indi-
an Territory is Fixed.

scripps.MeRae League,
Washington, April 1.-THE royalty
on coal mined in the Indian territory
has been fixed at uniform rate by
she secretary Of the interior. II will
be cents a ton hereafter on the
mine run. The change is from 10
cents on lump coal According to the
returns, the proportion OF lump or
screened coal to mine run coal varies
from three.fourths to two-thirds The
change TO cents will, 1t is believed,
be better Eor the Indian nation and
it's school fund. II will result in send
ing to market larger proportion OF
the product than when coal was
screened and the higher royalty was
paid on the lump.
The operators petitioned for q
change from screened to mine run,
but fixed the amount they wanted "a
pay at 6 2-3 cents, Secretary Hitch
cock gave the subject a thorough in
vestigstion and decided that, in view
of Rll the favorable conditions of the
leases and veins, 8 cents on mine run
applicable 10 the entire industry in
the territory. would be fair. Federal
officials familiar with the situation
agreed that the new rate was equit
able 10 the operators and Indians. II
is expected that the new arrange
ment will give fresh impetus TO the
industry. Operators will be able now
to make bids for yearly contracts

Populist convention met at 10 q. m.

Singer Jones, who was chaplain Of

enthusiasm.
John s. Allen from Cleveland county

impression that the republican party

was not in harmony with populism and
the principles for which IT stood.
He took occasion to throw a thirteen

Gratis at this juncture. The attack was
repeated with little more siz and

that the fusionists had openly boasted
that the delegations coming to that
convention with instruction to sway II

who imagine that the fate OF the nation
