Washington, Dec. 23.-The negotiations between the governments of the United States and Denmark looking to the ces- sion of the Danish West Indies. are drag ging.

MURDAUeH's NEW POSITION.
He VIII Become School Superintendent
al Woodward.


Guthrie, o. T., July 27.-The Leader
says: Many thought that when Prof
Murdaugh announced that he would stay
in Oklahoma, that he might later change
his mind and accept some of the hatter
ing offers from other states on account
of the larger salary than he could hope
to receive in Oklahoma. But there IS
something wonderful in a mans affection
for a state or territory, and Prof. Muir
daugh has refused college positions and
viii become a country sc DOL teacher in
Okahoma-the place ne loves. The city
of Woodward. in the far west, over in the
cattle range part of Oklahoma, realizing
the opportunity to get as principal OF
their schools the best educator in the
west, offered the position TO Prof Muir
daugh. He has signed the contract.
September first Prot. Murdaugh will take
charge of the public schools Of Wood
ward, a town OF about 1,500 people He
Will receive a salary of $125 a month and
the term will be for eight months or more.
This salary is more than the average
town pays but it is no more than COM
mensurate with the service received. The
teachers are nearly everywhere under
paid and it is refreshing to see g COM
munity like woodward appreciate the
necessity Of having a good man at the
head OF its public schools.
