Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still bas the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness, Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard OF appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the Liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of
the system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. You only
need few doses of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. Get Green's Prize

An Important Decision Affecting
Thousands of Indian Citizens.
Special to the Ardmoreite.

Special to the Ardmoreite.
Pauls Valley, /. T., June s.
Friday in the case of Thompson,
ct al. VS.. Morgan, ct. al, Judge
Thomas decided that Indian citi.
zens who were admitted by de-
cree of the United States court had
no standing in the country for the
reason that they were citizens for
political purposes only
This is one of the most impor-
tant and far reaching decisions that
has been made in the United
States court for years.
1t absolutely precludes citizens
(who were admitted by a court
decree) from renting land as they
could not bring a suit for the pos
session Of it or for rent on it, in
other words they have no other
rights at this time than white
man except that they are exempt
from taxation and have a right to
vote in elections of tribal officers
The procedure in these citizens
cases was begun ny an application
to the Dawes commission. and
they were either enrolled or re
iected and the nation or the party
who deemed himself TO be injured
appealed to the United States court
in the Indian Territory aud most
if not all of the cases were carried
to the supreme court and there
they were giveu the right To be en-
rolled.
There are about fopr Thousand
of these citizens I'm the Cbickas,w
nation alone. and thousands of
dollars have been expended i'm par.
fectinc their right
The majority of fbe members of
the bar disagree with the ulir0
made bv the court in this action
II leaves q peculiar state of
affairs iuasmucb as q non citizen
NAV rent land from a court citizen
as thousands of people have all
ready. Now if a suit was brought
by the nation for possession they
would be absolutely precluded from

APPLICATION FOR OIL LANDS.
Companies Want Vast Bodies in the
Cherokee Nation.
Special to the Ardmoreite,

Special to the Ardmoreite.
Washington, June S.-The Cher.
okee Oil and Gas company has filed
an application with the secretary
of the interior, accompanied by
certified check, for a lease of 9s,-
600 acres of oil land in Cherokee
nation. The attorneys for the com
pany are ex Senator John NJ.
Thurston of Nebraska, and Samuel
j Crawford, ex-governor Of Kan
sas.
The application for leases fled
by the Cherokee Oil and Gas com
pany will be followed in a few days
by an application TO be filed by the
attorneys for the Bartlesville Oil
and Gas company of the Cherokee
nation. The application of the
latter company will call for the ap.
proval of a lease to cover Dos, 600
acres of Indian lands Still other
companies are preparing TO renew
their applications before the de-
partment, among them being the
Cudahy Oil company which claims
TO have rights in the Cherokee ma
ton, under the Curtis law, and
which formerly asked for the APP
proyal covering nearly 10000
acres.
The renewal of the fight before
the department is certain to par
ticipate another aggravated strug-
gle between the representatives. of
the Cherokee nation on the one
hand and the attorneys for the oil
companies ON the other
The Cherokee treaty ratified by
congress at the last session, and
which was recently defeated by a
majority Of the members of that
tribe, was rejected solely because
it contained a provision which was
construed to be favorable to the oil
people. 1t was admitted, however,
that the oil provisions Of the
treaty were not as satisfactory to
the companies as the provisions OF
the Curtis law. But nevertheless
the Cherokee people who are Bit
terly hostile to the oil companies
rejected the treaty because it rec
ognized that the oil companies had
certain rights. Now that the Cur
lis law is to be enforced in the
Cherokee nation in its entirety it is
presumed that the department will
recognize the oil leasing feature Of
that law and it is because Of this
that the applications referred to
have been submitted.
1t is an interesting fact to note
that the oil people have secured
the services of the most able and
most influential attorneys possible.
Ex- Senator Thurston was chairman
of the committee on Indian affairs
of the senate for the last three
years he was a member of that
body. During that time he was
looked upon as opposed to the ap'
proval of any leases. As soon as
his retirement from the senate how
ever, he accepted the offer made
by the Cherokee Oil and Gas COM
pauy and has become their attor-
ney. Associated with him is eX.

Shippey VIII rIove.

Contractor w. A. Shippey told
an ARDMoREITE reporter yesterday
morning that he would move his
work from Ardmore in about a
week. In the meantime he will
proceed with his work at this
place, weather permitting Mr..
Shippey said he had big fill and
a long haul just beyond Durwood,
which he was anxious to get TO.
The right OF way committee in.
forms us that they are moving
houses from the right of way every
few days, and it is to be hoped
that Mr.. Shippey will find things
in condition, before he moves,
that may induce him to change
his mind.
We understand that work is
progressing nicely all along the
line, and the chances are that we
will have trains running from
Ardmore to Hartshorne 10y the
first of the year.

DESPERATE NEGRO KILLED.
Planter and BaiIin Have Close CAN
in Bib County.

Macon, Ga. Oct. 1O.-George Oxley,
a planter residing ten miles from Ma
con in the Howard district. shot and
killed William Clark. a negro this aft
ernoon. Bailiff Milliron had gone out
TO arrest the negro for trying to muir
der another negro. Clark had made so
much trouble and had become so dan
gerous that Mr.. Oxley took the war
rant. AS soon as Clark learned this,
he plunged at Oxley with a sharpened
case knife. The bailiff raised his gun
to fire on Clark when the negro's wife
rushed in and seized the gun in time
to send the load into the ground. OK.
ley kept out OF Clark's reach until he
could raise his own gun. The muzzle
of it rubbed against the Negroes face
as the fatal shot was fired. The ne
gro fell in a heap, the charge tearing
off a portion of his head. The coro-
ner is holding an inquest. The ne
gro was stranger in the community.
He had been accused of steling cotton
and this is what started him on the
Warmth
