The Kinds OF Town Killers.

Town killers, says an exchange,
are classified into nine separate
punches as follows: First, those
who 60 out OF town TO do their
shopping; second, those who are
opposed to improvements; third,
those who prefer quiet town to
one Of push and business: fourth.
those who imagine they own the
towns fifth, those who deride
public spirited men; SIXTH those
who oppose every movement that
doesn't originate with them;
seventh, those who oppose every
movement that doesn't appear to
benefit them; eighth, those who
seek to injure the credit or repu.
tation Of individuals; ninth, those
who take the town paper and do
not pay for it. 1t is good plsa
to keep out of any of these classes.

full children's party Saturday evening
from 600 to $3.50 O'Clock, in honor OF
the tenth birthday OF her daughter,

usual games, refreshments were
served TO each little guest, out in the
garden, where they presented most

Anyone now applying tol the

Cherokee rolls were definitely
closed on that date. The same
answer is received by any other

AS Others View 1t.

While the new ppointees over
ia the Cherokee country, who
thought "home rule" the proper
stuff until they got into Office, went
to Missouri and Kansas for most
Of their appointees, one home man
was found worthy of Office. This
was a negro, appointed as Jail
guard at Vinita.-Purcell Register.
How often men who have strug-
glsd hard to reach the top look
back on the madding crowds below
and scorn the base degrees by
which they did ascend, utterly
overriding the wishes of those who
aided them TO reach their goal and
forgetting the unwritten laws of
gratitude and common decency.
A few days ago, Darrough, the
"home rule" man, OF Vinita, who
was recently appointed marshal Of
the northern district, appointed a
negro of the disreputable and
vicious type to guard the prisoners
in the holdover, absolutely forget
ting that there is some pride and
self-respect even among thieves.
Yes, ''home ruie," as applied in
Vinita, is q much more heinous
con dition than earpet-baggism, and
it is indeed reasonable to surmise
that the man who would deli ber-
ately arm a vicious negro and turn
him loose upon his neighbors
would open the public sch ools to
the black race if he ed.-Arrow.

were leased and the lessees gener-
ally placed valuable improve
ments upon the lands. in the firm
belief that they would be given a
preference right to purchase the
lands, as has heretofore been the
rule in regard to various new
states. Under the provisions of
the bills named it simply leaves
these lessees, probably one-eighth
of the rural population of Okla
homa, at the mercy of land specu-
lators and syndicates, which will be
formed to purchase the lands when
sold TO the highest bidders. The
single statehood bill makes pro-
visions for a preference right to
the lessees to purchase the lands
they have leased"
The closing argument was made
by Col. Rob't L. Owen. president
of the Indian Land and Trust Co.,
OF Muskogee, and promoter OF the
non-partisan Buiness and Profess
sional Mems Double Statehood,
etc., league. The colonel, speak
ing for himself, the eleven men,
bers Of his league, and the Indian
Land and Trust Co., said:
"We do not want statehood, -
be declared. "We will oppose
union with Oklahoma with the
ardor that fires the breasts of pa.
triots. The only sentiment in the
Indian territory favorable to single
statehood is based upon the fear
that some bill might be passed
which would take away all public
lands there and give the people no
voice in the new government. "

morrow.

FORGED CHECKS
Being FIoated by Clever Operators
at Muskogee.

Muskogee, /. T., Jan "a, 1902.
A number of forged checks have
been cashed in Muskogee aud
others are still adoat. Last night
Peterman & Reeves cashed check
for 50 60, drawn by the Gloyd
Lumber Co., and the same night
Ed Durfey cashed check for the
same party drawn on the Musko-
gee Roller Mill Co.
At each place the check was
rendered in payment for some
small purchases aud the party
presenting them received the diff
ference ia cash. When the checks
were presented to the First Ma
tional ba INK they were pronounced
forgeries Both checks were made
payable to George Nugent. The
forgery is a piece of work that in
dicates that the operators are not
amateurs. The chirography is
that of a woman. The check on
the Gloyd Lumber Co. bore the
signature Of the company with
rubber sstamp and the, cashiers
signature written in il. The same
party presented the check at Dur
feys was in during the day and
priced the revolvers that were
stolen the same night. II is
thought that two of the fOrgers
live in the Cherokee nation aud
the other is from Texas. Late in
the afternoon Leon Brin cashed
check for s14.00 and when be pre-
sented it to the bank he found it
was . forged check. This check
vas signed by Ernest Cook Of the
Mnskogee Roller Mills Co. and is
almost a duplicate Of the other
two. Several arrests have been
raads but the officers are nos sure
they have ihe right parties.
