The keynote Of the Hoyt's "a
Bunch of Keys which will be pre-
sented by Gus Bothner at Chicka-
sha OH Nov. al is cleanliness It's
humor is the good homely Ameri-
can kind while its wit is the re-
partee Of a clever mind. The
nasty French farce had not been
transplanted in America when
Charles H. Hoyt gave us "A
Bunch Of Keys" so that comedy
had to depend upon legimate
methods Of success and not upon
suggestiveness or indecency. A
Bunch Of Keys is still reigning
attraction while the French farce
has been rejected as unfit for our
audiences, For a whole genera
ton "A Bunch Of Keys" has furn-
ished amusement and in the hands
Of wakeful management, it
seems good for another genera
ton. Gus Brothers take pride in
presenting the favorite old farce
comedy gem on a generous scale,
and its successful tours each sea
son attest the fact that his efforts
are appreciated, This season he
has outdone himself and " A
Bunch Of Keys" viii seem almost
like an original production. New
comedy situations have been in
troduced to add to the general
hilariousness, bright and catchy
songs have been interpolated to
add to the general entertainment
and clever comedians, singers and
dancers have been engaged to give
a careful and ambitious interpreta-
ton Of the comedy. An evening of
mirth. melody, and merriment is in
store for our audiences when A
Bunch Of Keys" comes to town. Il
is safe to assume that Brother $
Greater "A Bunch Of Key" will
receive a Tousing welcome,

CONSUMPTION
Carrying of the Indians-Thei cir
Habits Conductive to Spread
Of the Desease.

Oklahoma City, 0. T., Nov. 70.
That a majority Of the deaths
among the Indians are due to
tuberculosis has claimed much at
tention among the medical fra
ternity, not only in Oklahoma, but
Of all other countries in which are
Indian Reservations.
Rev H. T. Kliewer, missionary
to the Cheyenne Indians at Ham
mon, o. T., writes to friend in
this city: II believe over 50 per
cent Of the deaths among the In
dians occur from this cause.
An educated Cheyenne, a pupil
at Carlisle, Pa, in the early days
once said to me. In the old days
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes were
healthy and they were strong, with
few deaths. Many were killed in
fights with white people or with
other Indians. They went bare
footed over ice and snow and
through water. Now many have
consumption. The catch the dis
ease, one from the other. -Four
girls slept in the same room at the
boarding school One gave con
sumption to another. Three are
now dead from that cause, and the
fourth has the disease.
Hon. w. J. Mcconnell Of Idaho
has written me on this subject say
ing: If ministers would use more
effort in placing this matter in its
true light before the public, calling
particular attention TO the wrongs
that are being perpetrated, time
would bring remedy; but SO few
Of them seem TO know the truth,
and less number have the courage
to censure. Children are taken
from their homes and placed in
poorly ventilated dormitories with
tubercular patients and made to
sleep with others having sores on
their bodies. l closed a four year
term as United States Indian in
spector last July, and l know where
Of speak.
A major per cent ofthe deaths
among Indians in Oklahoma and
Indian territory are from consump-
ton. There is no doubt but that
tits brought on to a great extent
BY the way they live. In their
ef orts 10 initiate the white man
they fall far short. Naturally in
dolent, conditions are such now
that they cannot roam the forests.
Many are dirty, and not infected
with disease. That it is possible
for tuberculosis to be carried from
one to another is augmented by
their mode Of living and their re
lations with each other.

McGUIRE's BILL.
The Oklahoma Delegate In
PRODUCES the House
Measure.

Washington, Nov. I9.-B. S.
Mcclure, delegate from Oklahoma
introduced bill this morning for
the admission Of his territory to
statehood. There are several i'm
portant changes from the Flynn
bill in the Mcclure measure. A
radical departure is found in the
second section Of the bill, which
provides that a commission COM
posed Of the governor, chief justice
and the secretary Of the territory
shall apportion the territory into
Beventy-hve districts, each Of
which shall be entitled to one dele
gates in the constitutional couven-
ton within sixty days after the
passage Of the act. The old FLYNN
bill provided that the delegates to
theg constitutional convention
shoald be elected by counties as
organized at tho time Of the passage
Of the act.
There was opposition to the
omnibus bill in the Senate last year
because there was no provision re-
garding poygamy Article 5 Of
section ] Of the Mcclure bill pro-
vides: That polygamous and
plural marriages shall be forever
prohibited. Three representatives
in congress, to be elected at the
same time as the election for a
ratification or rejection Of the CON
stitution are provided for instead
Of two as indicated in the Flynn
bill.
One Of the most important
changes relates to the sale Of pub
lie lands. The Mcclure bill pro-
vides that: Sections I6 and So
and lands taken in lieu thereof
shall be appraised and sold under
such rules and regulations as the
legislature OF the state may pre-
scribe, preference right to pur-
chase being given 20 the lessee at
the time Of such sale" Flynn bill
simply declared that these lands
should be disposed Of at public
sale.
Under section II Of the MCGUIRE
bill, these provisions are made for
educational institutions: For the
benefit Of the Oklahoma university,
400. 900 acres, for the benefit Of the
agricultural and mechanical col
le1e, 4 millions acres; for the bene-
st Of the negro agricultural and
normal university, 100, 900; for the
benefit Of normal school, $50, 900
acres; $4,000 acres to be disposed
Of As the legislature may provide,
said lands to be selected in such
manner as the legislature may pro-
vide. with theHapproval Of the Sec.
resary Of the Interior.
There is no change in the pro-
visions Of the bill regarding the
ultimate absorption Of the Indian
territory. Mr., Mcclure resisted
the pressure brought to change this
elanse. He contended that It had
been formally indorsed BY the
republican territorial eonven'
ton,
