Townsite Matters.

j. G. Joyce, who has charge of
the townsite surveying corps IN the
Chickasaw Nation, is here from
Purcell spending a few hours with
w. b. Burney, secretary of the
Chickasaw townsite commission.
Mr.. Joyce, when seen yesterday
evening, said that his visit here
was purely of a social nature and
that he knew nothing that would
interest the Ardmore people. He
is of the opinion that, with his
present force, two or three months
yet will be required on the Purcell
townsite.

THEY CAN DO IT.

II should Gel taiuly be a cause for
widespread satisfaction that Sena
tor Hanna Of Ohio is personally
taking part in the efforts to bring
about a settlement of the steel
strike and that he is trying to en-.
list President Mckinley in that
good work, says the Republic.
Senator Hanna and the president
can do much to settle the strike
They are very close indeed to the
Billion. Dollar Steel Trust. as they
are to the other great trusts which
owe their existence to Hannaism
and McKinleyism. They are ex-
ceptionally influenced with these
trusts. Ii is safe 70 say that one
word from them to Pierpont Nor
gan and the other See Trust bill
lionaires would insure the instant
settlement of the steel strike.
1t is TO be hoped that Senator
Hanna and President Mckinley
will personally leave nothing un-
done to attain this end. They
now have opportunity to render
fine service to their country. The
Steel Trust, for very gratitude,
which, with trusts. is a lively ap.
probation of fayors to come, will
do whatever Senator Hanna and
the president may ask Senator
Hanna and the president should
ask the Steel Trust to end the
strike.

die of the Universe according TO
which for thousands of years the in

problems of the Infinite: The nature
OF matter and force, the origin of mo-
ton, the origin of life, the apparently
p~re-ordained orderly arrangement of
nature, the origin of sensation and
consciousness, the foundation of
thought and speech, the question of
the freedom of the will. OF these great
seven questions some are declared to
be insoluble, and each has caused end

all aside and declares that the one sim

New Ideas in Stationery.

Colored ~note-paper has had a long
struggle to win fashionable patronage,
for women of best taste persistently
rejected it in favor of cream or ivory
white, but recently such lovely tints
have been set forth by exclusive"
dealers in high-class stationery that
many have found them irresistible.
The palest green, the %softest, coolest
blue, mauve, and delicate gray are
the most popular. The latest English
envelopes are long and narrow, and
the sealing wax used exactly matches
the shade of the stationery. A pretty
wedding present, and a moderate one
in cost, is a box of stationery con-
tanning paper, cards, and envelopes
Of different sizes, and in one of the
new tones; the box also containing
sealing wax of corresponding color,
a seal bearing the brides monogram,
and a silver-mounted ~pen-holder, blot
ter and raser
