BIDS ASKED FOR SITE
Of $70, 900 Federal Building at Bates vile White River Improvement Work Complex Political
 Situation.

Batesville, July 9.-The secretary of the treasury has given notice that he will receive bids for site for the new $70,000 federal court house to be erected here for which provision was made at the recent session of congress. There are several proposed sites, any one of which will be suitable. It is expected that a commissioner, ap- pointed for that purpose, will visit this place soon to select the most de- sirable place
 Capt. William Parkin of Little Rock who has charge of the improvement of White river by system of locks and dams, was in the city last week, it is understood with view to the early resumption of work upon the dams for locks Nos. and 2, and to begin work for lock and dam No. 3. It will be remembered that congress recently through the efforts of Senators Berry and Jones and Congressman Brun- didge, was induced to continue this system, though at first they refused to do so. This will mean great deal for Batesville in the way of giving permanent slack water navigation and serving as check on the railroad up the river in the way of freight rates.
 The many friends of Editor E. |. ct.- e 4l.o Do+oex,;lla C17ord who has held position as assistant secre- tary in the United States Senate at Washington for some time, are glad to know that he will return from Washington towards the close of this month.
 The political situation in this county is assuming a more or less roseate hue at this writing, in the race for repre- sentative, especially. Judge Arnold of Newark, who was candidate be- fore the primaries for the democratic nomination, has recently announced his intention of running on till the general election, he claiming that he is the rightful nominee, and not Ma theny, who was declared by the cen tral committee to be such. And to add further to the complexity of the situation, John Stroud, former pop ulist politician of this county, seeing the discontinue and confusion among the democrats, has announced as an independent candidate, thinking that he sees a chance of success.
 The recent rise in White river, per mitting steamboats to run, was quite a relief to the railroad works up the river. The White River Grocer Go. of this place, chartered the steamer Quickstep, which left here with a large load for the upper river.

CHoCTAw CHANGES COMPLETED

Little Rock July 9.-A high official of the Choctaw railroad has made the following statement:
 ''The Rock Island has settled it's policy as far as the Choctaw is con cerned, as is shown by the contin- -uance of General Manager Clark and Traffic Manager Holden in the respec- tive positions that they held before the absorption. That should be evidence enough of what is intended. The fact is, the road is going to be run as the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf Railroad, the present officials re- porting to the Rock Island officials in place of to Philadelphia, as before.

RUNAWAY ACCIDENTS.
Three Runaways at One Time Starting Near Choctaw Depot In Which Fred Reeder and Edwin Taylor
 Were Seriously Injured.

One of the worst runaway accidents ever happening in Newport, occurred Wednesday afternoon shortly after five o'clock, in which two boys were seriously injured and narrowly es- capped death. One team frightened by Choctaw train started a series of runaways, which for time threatened several lives and ended in severe in juries for Fred Feeder and Edwin Taylor and the damage of several ve- hicles.
 The dray wagon of Eulis Reeder, driven by his fourteen-y year old brother Fred, was approaching the west entrance to the bridge, when the team became frightened at the engine of the branch freight, which was switching in the yards, and wheeled around to make dash up Lake Avenue. The boy driver was thrown out, followed by the wagon bed. Young Reeder was quite badly injured, one rib being broken, his knee strained and his chest slightly crushed.
 While still on Lake Avenue, the runaway team came very nearly col Hiding with Huffman's Bakery wagon, but this team turned about and headed the procession down the street.
 At Younger's shop, the surrey of J. O. Taylor was being repaired, the horse being attached to the rig at the time. Three of the children, Edwin, Frank and Ethel were seated in the vehicle, but Edwin seeing the coming runaways, jumped down to hold the horse which was faced south. The animal became frightened and wheeled about, throwing the plucky little fellow who held onto the bridle into the street, where he would have been run over by the bakery wagon, had not Felix Henderson, colored employe of the shop, managed to turn that team toward the other side of the street But the little fellow was struck by the dray wagon which followed and knocked senseless to the ground.
 He was taken into the Younger home where physicians were called and administered to his injuries, which consisted of bad gash in the side of his head which bled profusely, a blow behind the ear and numerous scratches.
 When the dray and bakery wagons passed the Taylor horse, he joined in the run, but turned up Second Street instead of First, as did the two first named. At the side of w. R. Thomp sons residence, the rig struck a post, throwing the two other children out upon the ground, and disengaging the horse and surrey. Neither of the children were hurt beyond few bruises and scratches.
 The Reeder and Huffman teams were given right of way down Front Street, the former being stopped in front of L. B. Harris store, the wagon a total wreck. The bakery team turned when Walnut Street was reached and ran to Remmel Ave. The top of the wagon was badly broken up and Huffman's bread was adver tised from one end of town to the other, in the samples scattered.
 The Lake Avenue crossing on the Choctaw needs watchman, for the fact that train cannot be seen until one reaches the track, owing to the houses that block the view upon either side, is responsible for these serious runaway accidents.

STATEHOOD PROSPECTS.
Territorial Delegates Hopeful OF Fav-
orabIe Action in Senate.

A conference has been arranged
between the territorial delegates
and the senate committee on ter.
ritories for the purpose or dis.
cussing the advisability Of at.
tempting to pass the statehood
bill through the senate at this ses
sion.
The disposition OF the state
hood advocates has been to allow
the bill to remain in the senate
committee until the short session,
owing to the press Of matters be.
fore the senate and the presence
of formidable opposition to the
bill. 1t is claimed now, however,
that there has been a change in
sentiment in favor Of the measure,
and t is possible that an effort
will be made to secure it's consid.
Grafton at the present session.
Senator Beyeridge, Of Indiana,
chairman Of the committee, has
been opposed to any action on the
bill, but has promised to allow
the delegates TO present their case
to the committee. The democratic
members Of the committee are in
favor Of the bill, and Senator
Quay is pronounced in its sup.
port.
Senator Elkins, although not a
member Of the committee, is anx-
ious TO secure action upon the bill
at thissession, and has promised
to urge consideration Of it by the
committee and by the senate.
Nothing will be done, however,
until the delegates from the three
territories have held. their confer.
enoe with the members Of the
committee.

For Any Action on Moon Bill
at This Session of
Congress,
WAY is BLOCKED
By Speaker Henderson, Who is
Bitterly Opposed to Any Ter.
rilorial Legislation. Field.
ing Lewis Discusses
the Situation.

Mayor Fielding Lewis, of South
McAlester, has returned from
Washington, where he has been
assisting in the effort to obtain
the passage Of the Moon bill.
In an interview he has given the
following disoouraging outlook for
the passage of the measure:
"Fnday it was learned that
Speaker Henderson had completed
the list Of legislation that would
be considered by the lower house
before any other bills could be
brought up. This custom pre-.
walls when the closing days of
congress are almost at hand and
it is the desire of the adminislra-
ton forces to push as much Of
their favored legislation on the
house as possible. When the in
formation that Mr.. Henderson
was preparing the calendar was
received, the friends of the Moon
bill used every effort to induce
him to give their bill a hearing.
However his opposition to the
measure was so bitter that no per.
suasion could secure the desired
position on the calendar for the
bill. He promised that if the bus
mess that he bad arranged for the
house was transacted before ad-
journment that he would consent
to ,he consideration Of the Moon
bill.
"Mr. Knox was away from the
city and Mr.. Moon and other
friends Of the bill did not feel that
it would be safe to press the mat
ter against the wishes of the
speaker, as his opposition would
jeopardize the measures success.
1t was then decided to submit to
the speaker program without
fight and run the rick Of securing
an opening TO bring the bill up in
the last days Of the session.
"There is no doubt that the bill
will pass the house il it could be
called up in regular order, The
same men who fought the state.
hood bill are enemies Of the Moon
bill. The chances for success in
the senate are much brighter than
anticipated. / believe the measure
would be made a law il it was pos.
sible to get it up before both
houses. However, il the bill can
be called up aud pass the house in
the closing days Of the session,
there is an excellent chance for
its passage oil the senate at the
next session which will be a short
one.n

While IL must be admitted that
conditions are about as unfavor-
able in the Cherokee county as IL

nevertheless true the country is

ting a large influx Of very desir-
able people, but the towns are re-.

Business men with money to in
vest are seeking favorable locations
and together with their families
are coming TO stay. There is no
risk whatever in locating here now
and in fact il is a good time to get
started. Conditions are going to
be more favorable very soon, and
those who ere here will understand
conditions better than the new.

that Investments in town property

WILL SIGN BILL.
Congress Accedes To Presidents s
Demands AS To Provision Of
Indian Appropriation.

A resolution has been passed by
both branches OF congress provid-
ing for extending toe time for
opening the Spokane reservation
in Washington to December 30,
1902. The adoption cl the rcsolu.
tion will insure the approval of
the Indian appropriation bill by
the President. He had informed
members of the Indian affairs
committees Of both houses that
unless such resolution was adopted
he would not sign the sill. 1t APP
pears that the provision for the
opening Of the Spokane Indian
reservation, comprising some 163,'
600 acres of land, largely mineral,
in the state Of Washington, was
included in the Indian appropria-
tion bill on the understanding that
the allotments had been made to
the Indians and the mineral reser.
vations mads by the government.
After the bill had been passed the
President was flooded with tele.
grams stating that prospectors and
settlers in large numbers had
rushed upon the reservation and
made mineral and homestead
claims, and that the Indian Of.
fcials and the United States su-
thorities were unable to restrain
them. 1t also developed that the
allotment of lands to the Indians
had not been completed, and that
the members of the tribe were in
danger ofbeing shut out altogether
The resolution adopted today will
become effective at once, as the
President has indicated his will,
ingness to sign the bill with the
limitation provided by the resolu'
tion. 1t will then be necessary foi
the authorities to eject the pros
pectors and settlers who have beer
rushing upon the reservation.

II you are going to make mountain
excursions In Mexico take rough and
warm clothing, and leggings, TO be
used on horseback trips. IL you are
intending to pass much time in the
cities, provide yourself with n dress
suit. The MeXicans are gay and hos
pitable and glad Of the company of
strangers who cont properly intro
duccd. You will thus be prepared for
the opera, which is a fayorite amuse-
ment in the capital and for all social
functions, says the Detroit journal.
The lowest temperature in the city
Of Mexico Is in the month Of Decem-
Der. The average of the thermometer
is then 53.4 of Fahrenheit. The high
est temperature is in May, Gi.6, which
means variation Of about II de-
grees from summer TO winter. The
evenings are always somewhat chilly,
/ In the rainy season damp, and there
fore an Overcoat of light weight Is
the proper thing 20 have with you,
In other places in Mexico the tenn
perature Is a little higher or a little
lower than in the city, according TO
the altitude. Near the coast 10 is
much warmer; on the higher eleva-
tions il Is colder.
On Mexico railways people make
themselves comfortable in the most
unconventional way. Smoking is GUS
tomary In all the cars. The ladies do
not object. As a matter Of fact many
Of them set the example by lighting
cigarettes. The Mexican cigars are
famed for their mildness. Many
smokers think them superior 10

and cheap.

Of the City of Mexico Is nearly 5000

highest in the republic, though one
or two other cities somewhat ex-
ceed II.
There are several places on the way
to Mexico that afford agreeable rest
ing places. One OF these Is San An
tonic, Tex. Another Is Monterey, and
a third is San Luis Potosi. A halt of
a day at San Antonio Is an acceptable
diversion. 1t breaks the monotony OF
