is popular. In the bill just introduced
there is a stipulation that the Indian
territory shall be annexed to Oklahoma
as soon as the lands now held by the
Indians become taxable, providing
Congress favors annexation. The plan
to unite the two territories has
strength. Undoubtedly Congress will
take kindly to this plan. A single
state for the two territories would
make big commonwealth, and would
not be open to the opposition which
was brought against some of the other
States at their entrance. The Okla
homa admission bill ought to attract
strong support.

Celebrate Longs Hanging.

The Il. ID. Il. club met last evening
at the home of Fred Mueller on
nty-siNth street to celebrate the
FIRST anniversary of the hanging of
John Long to the high school flag
staff. John Long was the staid and
respected high school skeleton and
here it may bc said he did not meet
his end through the hanging aforc-
said, that terrible event being the
only real tragedy of the high school
fire a short time later. The hanging
of Long was and is still considered
the highest compliment that could
have been paid him and it was as well
the supreme achievement of the b.
ID. b. club. Accordingly the mem
bers celebrated last evening with due
solcmnity.

ESCAPED PRISONER CAUGHT.
William CarnelI VIII BE Returned I
MOundsYtlle Penifentiarx.

William Carnell VIII BE Returned to
MOundsville Penitentiary.
William Carnell twenty years old,
who escaped from the penitentiary at
Moundsville about six weeks ago, was cap
-tured last night by Detectives Horne, Boyd,
Hartigan, Parham and Flather. The detec-
tives found Carnell in the Baltimore and
Ohio freight yard. When approached he
showed fight, but the officers quickly SUBJ
dued him and he was soon behind the bars.
Carnell was sentenced to three years in
the penitentiary for false pretenses He
was sent to the prison from here about a
year ago. Being an expert electrician and
good worker, he was soon made q
"trusty," and prison life was much easier
of his time was spent in the shops, both
day and night, and in addition to his cleo
trical work he was in charge of the prison
bloodhounds. He was frequently permitted
to go outside the prison walls because of
the nature of his work, and one day in Sep
tember he failed to return. Boarding a
freight train. he was soon off the trail of
the dogs, and he came here to visit his old
home. He declared it was his intention TO
return to the prison and surrender, but
the officers relieved him of any trouble on
that score.
An officer of the prison will come for him.
1t is probable he will be given a hearing
when he reaches Moundsville and required
to serve an additional term.
