Three negroes, John Fisher.
Frank Jones and John Logan have
been arrested at South McAlester,
charged with the murder of Peter
Ivey, the aged butcher, who was
murdered at that place Sunday
morning, and his building burned
to hide the crime.
On one of them was found the
watch OF the dead man. Another
had his revolver Ivey was an ex-

comrades are working to bring the
murderers to justice.
The negroes first slugged the old
man, robbed the place and set fire
to the building after putting the
body on bed of hay. Several
frame buildings adjoining were
burned.

TO PROTECT MINERS.
Bill to Compel Proper Protection In
Coal Mines.

The coal mine disasters which
have become OF such frequent oc-
currence of late in the territory,
have resulted in the passage by
the house of bill regulating the
protection to be given the miners
while at work.
The bill as amended by the sem
ate, reads as follows:
"That the owners or managers
of ever coal mine at depth OF lOO
feet or more shall provide an ade-
quate amount of ventilation of not
less than eighty.three and one
third cubic feet of air per second,
or 5000 cubic feet per minute for
every fifty men at work in said
mine, and in like proportion for a
greater number, which air shall by
proper appliances or machinery
be forced through such mine TO
the face of each and every work
ing place, so as to dilute and
render harmless and expel there
from the noxious or poisonous
gases. The violation of this act
shall constitute a misdemeanor
and any person convicted of such
violation shall pay a fine Of not
exceeding $500"

ment, and also that in reality it is
not distribution of the land upon
basis OF either value or acreage.
The time fixed for the dissolu.
tion of the Greek and other tribal
governments IN the Indian terri
tory is 1906 and it is believed that
the provisions of the proposed
Greek agreement respecting the de-
tails of making allotments and
settling the affairs of the tribe are
such as 10 readily enable the
tribal government to go out of ex-
istence at the time contemplated.

Practically all of the contest

next week will be taken up the
cases Of the freedmen. There are
something like 1905 Of these cases
and it will probably take as long
TO dispose of them as it did the
Cherokee doubtfuls. The Chero-
kee attorneys made a record OF
1915 cases in less than two months
and il is believed the freedmen
cases will be finished in a short
time.

arrested at Ardmore for the mur-
der of Alfred Graves, who was
found dead in a ravine near Homer.

ALL0T MENT PL AN
Is Not Definitely Settled but ia
Referred to Congress With
the Contentious OF Both
Sides for Adjudica-
tion.

Chief Porter, representing the
Greek Indians, the Dawes commits
sion and the interior department,
have reached an agreement con-
cerning the allotment Of the Greek
lands. There are certain features
of the agreement to which the
Greeks still object, and where
these differences lie congress will
decide. The secretary OF the in
terror has submitted the objec-
tions of the Creek Indians along
with the agreement. If congress
should incorporate into the agree
ment the contentious of Chief
Porter, ii will become part OF the
treaty, otherwise the treaty as
presented by the interior depart
ment will be ratified. With the
Creek treaty practically disposed
of, the Ch erokees are the only
tribe now standing in the way OF
.alloting all the lands of the Indian
territory.
The principal matter about
which there is a disagreement
with the Creeks concerns the ap-
praisement and distribution OF
lands among the members Of the
tribe. The existing agreement
ratified by the act Of March IA,
1901, requires that all the lands
be appraised at their true value,
excluding improvements, and that
they be allotted among the men,
bers OF the tribe so as to give each
an equal share of the whole. One
hundred and sixty acres, of the
value of $3.50 an acre, is declared
a standard allotment. Those re-
ceiving lands in excess OF that
value are required to make resti,u-
tion in money of the excess. and
those receiving lands Of less value
than s6 so an acre are to be given
other lands OF sufficient acreage
and value, OF are TO receive suf-
ficient amount of money TO bring
their allotments up to the required
standard.
What is nov proposed by Gov.
Porter and HE associates il that
this existing plan Of distributing
the lands shall be changed to the
extent of relieving those who re-
ceived lands worth more than
sc. 80 an acre, from making any
restitution to the tribe Of the ex-
cess. If their position is adopted
by congress the result will be that
an Indian receiving 16O acres,
worth s25 an acre, may retain all
of it without making any payment
upon the excess; while one receiv-
ing an allotment worth 81 an acre
will receive in other land or in
money only 8 sufficient amount to
make his allotment OF 160 acres
worth s6 so an acre to him. The
officers Of the interior department
object to this proposed change,
and insist that il is neither suit
able nor possible Of accomplish

DrOVenlent.

Mr.. w H. King. of the w. II. King
rug Company, whose name is so closely
associated with Vinol, tho wonderful dis
covery, is by this time becoming used to
answering questions. Yesterday. in an
swer to a reporter, he said: people are
not making as many inquiries of me as
they did / am now having my innings,
and you may be sure l am improving
them by asking questions. This talk of
the difficulty of introducing a new dis
eovery is one of your newspaper Fellows
yarns. Let the discovery be all right and
it goes right on and introduces itself.
All you need to do is to give it a little
shove and make it stand out before the
public. 1t win do the rest Yes, | did
have to answer a great many questions
for a few days. l Will admit that, and
of course | am not entirely through yet;
but VinoPs friends are talking for it al
most as we'll ds it talks for itself, and
good news. as we'll as news of that which
will do good, gets around pretty fast.
You see it was not a very difficult
thing to explain Everybody grasped the
idea in minute. when / told them that
the real value of cod liver oil existed in
certain active principles always found in
the liver of the live cod. 1t was not
very hard work for any one to believe
that these same principles could be OBJ
tanned by a special process, without it's
being necessary TO have them connected
with the disagreeable and yile-smelling
grease that formerly was part of the
remedy which they had known as cod liv
er oil. Well, that is about all | had TO
tell them. 1t is not very hard work for
even child to comprehend that given
a certain extract that contains valuable
medicinal principles, that just the right
amount can be administered, and even
a child could mix this same extract in
the delicious table wine which we are
using and which so prepared goes under
the name of Vinol--Wine of Cod Liver
OIL
Yes, indeed, any number of people
have already found out the value of
Vinol. Lots of them are coming to me
every day and telling me that they knew
it was necessary for them to take cod
liver oil. but they could not do it. They
are now telling me of the good they are
deriving from Vinol, and l am surprised
myself at the rapid way such benefits
show themselves. This is where / am
asking my questions and collecting a nice
little batch of information in regard to
the good that is being done in this city
to people we all know. win I publish
any Of it? Oh, do not think will Not
for the present at least and Of course I
never would without the full permission
of the people who tell me their stories.
Many of them say more than they would
like to see in print, they are so enthusi-
astic on the subject. Yet, perhaps, I
will in few days be able to give you the
names of few of the best known people
in the city, who are warm advocates of
Vinol, and doing more in a minute to
gain new converts for it than could in
"a week.

the Reflector has never come up to our
ambition. We are not ashamed of It's ca
reer or what it has accomplished. 1t is
no greet paper, yet It has long ago lived
down the old saying that young man
cannot accomplish anything at his home.
This writer was born in Greenville, has
always lived in Greenville, and has never
been out Of the town a whole month at
one time in his life. We learned long
ago that patient perseverance, Integrity
and a willingness to work do not go UNI
remunerated. There were times when
opportunity offered tc go elsewhere, but
we loved Greenvile and Pitt county to
well and fell that the path Of duty for
rs was here.
While thanking God for all prosperity
and blessings We can never feel other
wise than grateful to the people for their
support Looking over our list OF sub
scribcrs We find names that have been
there since the first issue nearly twenty
Years ago, and our advertising columns

saying a little more than usual on the
subject today.
Nearly twenty years ago the Eastern

of the paper was issued, and its birth

In APRIL 1885, our brother deciding to

proprietors of q newspaper, but there was
blank paper enough on hand for a few
weeks, so we rented the outfit and kept
the paper going. This writer was then
less than sixteen years old and his news

many hard struggles it was sink or
