THE CHOcTAW IS COMING.

The INDEX learns through sources
which appear to be reliable that the
Choctaw road will be extended from
Oklahoma to the north Kansas line.
1t is to be extended from Geary. Ok,
to Alva, thence to Hardtner, on the
Kansas. Oklahoma line, and on to Med.
iclne Lodge, Pratt, st. John, and al.
most due north, termina ting in south.
ern Nebraska. AS we hear 1t, no bonds
will be demanded. The survey has al
ready been made from Geary up to
Hardtner and preliminary arrange
ments are now being made to push it
north.
A north and south road is what this
country needs to enliven it and we
hope that the project will succeed.
AS consequence of the advent of
the road Hardtner has already taken
aboom and promises to grow into a big
city. Town lots down there are al.
ready in demand, as that little village
seems to have cinch whether the road
Is extended farther or not.

MRS. NATION AT HOME.

Mrs. Carrie Nation was in Medicine
Lodge from Friday until Monday. for
the first time since her fame as a sa-
loon smasher became more than local
She held several meetings in the
city during her short visit. She
impresses one as being the same indi.
Vidual with the possible exception that
her command of language ia better.
Her disposition Is strictly on the old
style and the freedom Of speech re.
mains inviolate.
She was Joined at this place by the
Rev. J. G.. Stewart, q lawyer and
evangelist of fame in the state or Iowa
who was sent here by Iowa temperance
organizations to secure several dates
for her in that state. Rev. Stewart Is
a fluent speaker aud his remarks were
entertaining aud instructive. He Las
boon elected county attorney of his
home county on the probition ticket
when the party organization had only
nineteen members.
Mrs. Nation held two meetings-
one on the street Saturday evening,
and one in the court house Sunday. The
street meeting was uneventful. except
Ing that she was disturbed a good deal,
but that has happened at the same
place many times before.
Her meeting at the court house, how.
ever, was interesting. She roasted the
brothers and sisters right brown for
their stylish dressing, their jewelry etc.
But the final shot was for the way the
christian people voted this spring.
Carrie has no special love for our
mayor, E. II. Nixon, and his election.
she took it. was like putting ball and
chain on her. After INDUCING In some
choice pet names In paying trlbute(?)

people without gloves and it ended
with strong symptoms Of a row. Sew

more felt like going, but the speaker
seemed to enjoy it all.
Mrs. Nation left Monday for Wichi.

notorious Carl Brown, the Coxeyite, at
Fort Scott, and today she gets back to
Topeka, where he- trial before Judge
Hazen is in progress.
