Little s-months-old Lewis Porter
Staples is dead The little fellow
died yesterday morning about 8
O'Clock Of cholera infantum. The
death Of this child is sad, from the
fact that Friday afternoon it was
seemingly in perfect health, and had
its romp with the nurse.
About supper time it was taken sick
and the doctor came and admins.
tered to the little fellow The parents
sat up with the child until 2 o'clock,
when he seemed TO be doing so well

The board OF education Of the Chick
asaw nation meets at Tishomingo on
Thursday, Aug. 2S, for the purpose Of
awarding contracts for the three ma
tional schools. The three school con
tracts to be awarded are the Bloom
field Seminary, the Chickasaw School
for Girls, Bloomfield the Chickasaw
Orphans Home, at Lebanon, and Col
Inns Institute for Boys, at Wapanucka
After the schools are let, the con-
tract will have TO be approved by the
Chickasaw legislature and signed by
the governor of the Chickasaw nation.
This will give the schools n late
start this year. II is customary for
the schools 10 start their fall terms
not later than the middle Of Septem-
ber, but the Chickasaw legislature
does not meet till Monday, Sept. l,
and II is naturally tn case that several
days are required &c secure a quorum
and settle down TO business. The
contract Is not likely TO be approved
before the middle Of September, and
then II will take several days for the
contractors to get things in readiness
for the term, which will throw the
opening Of the schools up close to the
first Of October.
The contracts this year will be let
for four years, the remainder Of the
life Of the Chiokasaw tribal govern

A Sad Incident,
SIG SIMON CO.

The death of Mrs. John Bonner,
which occurred recently at the Bon
ner boarding house, adds another sad
incident to the history of the town.
The woman was 20 years old, and be-
fore she was stricken with fever,
looked the picture OF perfect healtI
She had the care of two small chill.
dren and unfortunately at this, the
most critical time in the life Of the
family, the husband is incarcerated
here in the United States prison
Every day Bonners prison life was
frightened by a visit from his de
voted wife until she was taken i'll
then Bonner, accompanied by a guard
was allowed to visit her. Finally
death crept close, and while child
hood slept peacefully into Orphanage
the prisoner stood over his devoted
companion and painfully watched the
last spark Of life go out, then he was
taken back to prison to spend the re
naming hours Of the sad night. Fol-
the reason that the remains were
given burial at Cheek, fifteen miles
from here, the prisoner was not al
lowed TO attend.

The hiavsnwood tiospital.

We are frequently asked how we
expect to support the institution which
we have, in the past few days, launch
ed out in Ardmore. II there are no
patients, there will be no expenses
except the usual expenses of maintain
ing our family. When a patient en-
ters for treatment an income begins;
II matters not whether the patient be
able to pay or not We have thor
oughly tried the experiment and know
that a hospital that is built and run
upon an economical basis, for the
good Of humanity, will be supported.
We have energy to devote to the up
building OF Havenwood Hospital and
we expect to make 1t a blessing TO hu-
manity In order TO make II most ef-
fectual, we are not going to let Il be
controlled in the interest Of any GER
tain physician, but all reputable gen
tlemen of the profession OF Ardmore
or elsewhere, viii be allowed all the
privileges necessary for the effectual
treatment Of their patients who need
hospital accommodations. The insti-
tuition will be Incorporated at an early
date, the plans being already mature,
and shares of stock will be sold to
any individual who has an interest in
the good work and the funds secured
by such sale of stock will be devoted
to the improving Of the property, and
at any time after six months the full
amount OF the share, s25, will be re-
funded TO the shareholder in case he
does not desire to retain his OF her
interest in the hospital.
In order to accomplish the main OBJ
ject we have in establishing a hospital
in Ardmore, we want to cooperate
with the different church workers in
caring for the sick among the poor,
who often suffer greatly for lack of
proper medical care. We will furnish
medicines for such patients and give
such other aid as is found necessary.
Any other Information will be read
lily given to anyone, and we will be
glad to assist any whose object is to
help the work. in an investigation Of
what we are doing. We expect the
people who contribute to the institu.
tion to appoint a board of directors to
control and guide the work to a glo.
rious success.
