United States Grand Jury Finds
Three Indictments Against
Bridge Builders in Indian
Territory-Other
News.

Muskogee, l. Il, Sept. 4.-Oh-
cial life in Indian Territory was
given another thrill today when ii
became known that charges have
been filed in the department of jus
tice in Washington to the dispar-
agement of Dr.. Leo E. Bennett. o.
nited States marshal for the Wes-
tern district; P.lny Soper, United
States district attorney in the
Northern Dis riet and the former
wife of John R. Thomas and James
Psttigrew, now dead. Pettigrew
was United States jailer at Mosko-
gee. The contract for feeding pris-
oners was held by him and was a
profitable business. It is charged
that the net earnings averaged a.
bout 5000 a month and that this
sum was divided into three equal
shares, one going to Pettigrew, one
to Bennett and the third to Soper.
The sale of malt beverages, cup
posed to contain not more than 2
per ceat. of alcohol. was more gsn-
eral in Indian Territory three years
ago than now. Their alcoholic
strength varied occasionally and
the variations caused different de-
grees of intoxication. The harges
now in Washington disclose the fact
that the liquor traffic received Off
cial protection in the Northern dis
trict and that for this alleged pro-
lection Bennett. Soper and Mrs.
Thomas, now DECEASED, were each
paid $500 month. Judge Thorn
as was then United States Judge
in the Northern district. The
charges were cent first to the interi-
or department and then transferred
to the department of justice, where
a citizen of Indian Territory, who
learned of them in Washington, de-
clared they caused amusement.
DR.. Bennett, who left here last
night for Col ,rado, is quoted as say.
ing that a copyof the charges would
be sent to hin, which indicates that
the department believes there is
something more than humor in
them. There was considerable
talk about liquor traffic in the
Northern district two years ago.

Washington, Sept. 6 "A tele.
gram to Secretary Hitchcock. from
United S ates District Attorney
Horace Speed, of Oklahoma, says
the United States grand jury has
found three indictments against
Contractor Stakes and three coun-
ty commissioners for Kiowa coun-
ty for making false vouchers and
lalse certifi ;ates for the purpose of
defrauding the government in con-
nection with the bu lding of bridg-
es.
Stokes is under arrest and his
bond has been fixed at 81 500. The
three indicted county commission
ers, it is said, have fed the coun-
try.
This action has been taken at the
instance Of Secretary Hitchcock as
the result of an Intervention insti-
tuted By him several months ago,
which revealed the fact that gross
frauds had been praeticed in Okla
homa in connection with contracts
for bridges, roads and buildings in,
the three counties opened for settle
nent two years ago.
Secretary Hitchcock held up all
the bills until he could have an in
vestigation made and the present
indictments are the result. Other
arrests are expected to follow.

Chicago's Directory Growth.

There will be the usual scoffing among the unregenerate of other cities over the directory estimate of Chicago's population, which gives figure of 9,206,O0O for 1903. as against the federal census Of 1,69s.575 for 1900 It may be admitted that an increase of more than 100000 In the three years is highly i'm probable, but there were excellent req sons for the belief that the federal census was not up to the mark. It fell short not only of the local estim- ates from the school census ard the di- rectory. b1t of such convincing com putations a.. were based on the votes at presidential elections. Chicago. with q voting aIacity considerably in excess of the old city of New ork, was made to lag way behind that city in popula- tion, and the theory is yet to be prop erly formulated which would explain the difference.-Chicago Record Herald.

A Billion for Advertisins.

Among the various twentieth century professions which have risen within the past ten years that of the advertis- ing man has suddenly assumed the prominence which it could acquire only In country which spends s1, ,OOO. 900. 900 year for advertising. This is quite sum; three times the value of the wheat crop, nearly five times that of the gold production and ten times that or the iron industry. It requires 100. 900 men to direct its expenditure. There is not a city of 5000 and upward of in habitants which has not from one to 100 advertising men. New York has 5000. and there are half a dozen other cities with nearly as many.
 The dean of the New York corps is the advertising agent of a merchant who is admitted to stand at the head of retail advertisers in the United States. This man receives a salary Variously estimated at from s12.O 900 to $15,00G. Several stores in New York pay nearly as much, and there are probably fifty manufacturing concerns in the country which pay the heads Of their advertising departments $10,OOO or over. All concerns which go out afte.. national patronage pay their advertis- ing men from 5000 to $10,00O, and there are thousands of men now receiving the lesser sum, where ten years ago there were very few. All this is a sign of the revolution in business methods. It has become an era of enormous ad- vertising, as well as of enormous az gregations of capital. and America is the great advertiser of the world New York Times.

From time to time, during the past six months, the dispatches from Manila have briefly described the main incl dents or the campaign which Captain John Pershing has been making against the Moros. and number of in- teresting side lights have been thrown on the gallant officer whose fame is now world wide. For example, the simple narrative of his first meeting with the hostile dattos showed that Pershing has diplomatic talent of a high order, and a private letter from him which the war department has just made public reveals him as a hu- morist of the grim sort. After modest iy describing the taking of the Moro stronghold at Bacolod, an engagement in which the Americans had to cross a ditch thirty-five feet wide and forty feet deep In storming the fort which the natives had been a year in con- structing, Pershing predicts that there will never again be any continued op- position or any general opposition to American rule on the part of the Moros, and adds: The sensible ones see that it is useless, and several of their old priests are now preaching the universal brotherhood of man"

Mexico he is far from being one of the Of the president and he has contributed much to the bringing of order out of chaos. He is regarded as one of the few men of the republic who can take up and pursue the work of President Diaz. It is recognized also that the character of the work must be chang ed. The government in the nature of things must be less military than it has necessarily been. This change would be made by President Diaz 1T he should remain in office.
 One of the national objections to Limantour is that though he was born The French form of his name does not increase his popularity and the question of his eligibility to the presidency has been raised. It is said though that if eligible to be president. The constitu- tional qualification for one office is not different from the qualification for the other.
 In view. though, of the terms of the acceptance of the nomination by Presi- dent Diaz last Monday it is doubtful if the prediction of Senor Alberto will be made good. It will be remembered that the president said that it is the duty of every citizen to serve his country for as long and in as many posts as his fellow citizens may de- sire" The wide spread satisfaction with which the acceptance was receiv- ed throughout the republic does not in- dicate an early successor to Diaz. Something. however, may happen be- fore the election which will not take place until next year.

Dlaz's Successor.

Juan De Alberto has in the July number of Success" an article on The Next President of Mexico" who, he says, will be Jose Ives Limantour, the present minister of finance. The article was written before the nomina- tion of President Diaz last Monday. The nomination of Diaz was predicted by Senor Alberto, but he said that he would resign before the end of the year in favor of Senor Lmantour, whom he had selected as his successor. That ac- tion. it Is said, would be taken in order to save the country from the agitation of an election for which in its present condition it is wholly unprepared

High Tide and Current.

The many rains of the past few weeks
and the prevailing easterly winds have
caused high tides ard, as has several
times been noted, the water has at times
covered portions of the Strand. The
heavy rains in parts Of Maryland and
Virginia have caused the river north of
this city to swell considerably and a
swift current has been the natural con-
sequence. 1t set in yesterday morning
and drift wood and trash were being
carried past Alexandria all day. The
force Ct the current this morning showed
decided weakening, although reports
from the upper Potomac are to the effect
that much water has fallen and that
there is a likelihood of the tide becom-
ing swift again.
