TOOK NOTARIAl SEAL.
Robbers Relieve the Judge of His Le-
oaI Tools

Shawnee. o. T.. Sept. 4.-Robbers re-
lieved Judge Stanard Of his notary seal
and the Vegiard Electric and Plumbing
company of a few electric batteries and
an electric searchlight Tuesday night.
The thieves first entered Judge Stan
ards office. took his notary seal, then
went down stairs and pried open the back
window of the plumbing shop with the
seal and took the batteries and search
light. So far nothing elese has been
found missing.
From what they took it appears that
the thieves are going into the business
in a thoroughly equipped fashion. Their
crowning stroke Of genius was IN swip-
ing Judge Stanards notary seal. 1t is
supposed they desire TO keep an autken-
ticated record OF each robbery and legal

ON STATEHOOD QUESTION.
That Is the Solution of the Indian
Problem.


South McAlester. ]. T., Sept AIN
statehood editorial the Capital says:
Statehood is the solution of the Indian
problem. Let enough courts be estab-
lished and then let the distinction be-
tween Indian and white be wiped out
and the competent Indian be allowed TO
manage his own affairs. Let the incom-
petent Indian have a curator appointed
under adequate bond. Let him make reg
ular reports to the court. In this man
ner the incompetent Indians interests
will be guarded much better than by the
present method, and the competent will
be free as any other person to use his
property.
There is no guarantee at present that
the incompetent Indian will be able TO
get along with the stress and rivalry that
is being already introduced into life here
and which will become more apparent as
the years go by. While he cannot en-
cumber his property in any way at pres
ent designing men will furnish him with
money and necessities and get such a
hold on him that he will eventually lose
everything. In the Creek country now
the specula tors are getting their grip on
the 4Iulau py allowing MN 10 mortgage
more livestock than he has to them and
the nholding the knowledge Of his Grim
inal act a whip over him.
Under the plan suggested above, which
is being advocated with great force by
the Springfield. Mass. Republican. the
Indians allotment would be improved
and his interests guarded. The Indian
cannot be protected by merely taking
away from him the right 70 sell his land
His estate viii have to. be managed fir
him, under the direction of the court, by
a bonde dcurator.
BY making his land taxable a country
school system may be established, some
thing which will be necessary as soon as
the tribal governments become extinct
as the present Indian school system viii
then die.

New Two Cent Stamp.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The new 2-cent
postage stamp with the new portrait
of Washington is about ready for is
sue and will. be distributed to the
postofices throughout the country in
the course of the next week or ten
days.
The new stamp is the same color as
the old 2-cent stamp, but its makeup
is entirely different. The portrait of
Washington is taken from one of the
Stuart pictures and is three-quarters
full face. It is regarded as an excel
ent picture. The portrait is set in a
shield-shaped medallion in about the
center of the stamp. On each side of
the medallion are American flags
hanging in graceful folds from stand
ards which appear to stand at the
base of the picture. Over the medal
lion are the words U. S. of A., and
beneath the picture are the dates
1892 -1799.
The stamp is more ornamental and
artistic, it is claimed by the postofice
authorities, than any of the stamps
Of the old issue, and its general com
position is in keeping with the style
of the new issue.

Sensational Fire in a Canada
Town.

London, Ont, Jan. 9.-One of the
most disastrous fires in the history of
this city occurred tonight IN the I'M
mense plant of the McClany Manufac-
turing Company. A boy working in
the stamping department dropped a
burning match into vat of Gil and
with a report like q cannon the oil
went up in sheet of fame. Like a
fash it spread to the ceiling of the
room on the first floor and the employees
rushed from the building in panic.
In this portion Of the works were
located the stamping room with 100
presses, the tin smith department, the
Japaning department, the artist de-
partment and the wrapping rooEas
where tinware is made ready for mar
ket.
About five hundred men, women and
boys were in the building. There was
a rush for the elevator and the stairs,
and in a terrible crush, scorched and
smoke begrimmed, they reached the
street, but none were seriously injured.
The FIRE burned furiously for hours,
the Gremen being utterly unable to
cope with it.
When the first brigade arrived the
hydrants were found to be frozen and
when the water was turned into the
hose the pressure would not throw the
stream fifty feet. The fire burned
itself out.
The loss is s3oo,ooo. The McClary
firm is practically the only stamping
firm in the dominion, and also one Of
the largest in America.

New Mills in Six Months.

The Wool and Cotton Reporters
semi annual statement of textile mill
construction, shows that during the
last six months of 1902 new textile en-
terprises were ''begun or proposed

with PSI, for the first half of the
year-a decrease of SO mills; and a
decrease Of 4 as compared with the
last half of 1901.
Of the 19S new mills for the last six
months, 81 were in the North and 107
in the South. Of the total of 455 for
the year, 1902. 1S3 were in the North
and PIP were in the South.
Pennsylvania leads all the other
States in the number Of new mills
for the last half-year, with 26 to her
credit, of which 6 are woollen, u
knit goods and s miscellaneous, -
(silk) South Carolina is next with
% mills, of which 20 are cotton and
8 knit goods. North Carolina is third,
with % mills, of which Il are cot
ton,r7 knit goods and l miscellaneous.
Then follow: Virginia, Is mills;

To Port Royal Station.

Washington, January 9.-secIetary
Moody today sent a communication to
the house in compliance with the pro-
vision of the last naval appropriation
act directing him to investigate and
report on the value of government
property at the Port Royal naval sta
tion and the practicability of its re,
moval to another yard. The secretary
says among other things:
''The property, of course, could be
devoted to the purpose for which 1t
was originally designated 1t Is, low,
ever, assumed that when the naval
station at Charleston is completed the
station at Port Royal will be discon-
tinued. There is absolutely no reason
for two stations in these waters .
The value of the land, the secretary
says, is much less than its cost to the
government and the dry dock which
has cost s51S, 81 has become worth
less

Eradstreet's Weekly Review.

New York, Jan. 9.--Bradstreet's S
tomorrow will say:
The new year starts in aggressively
and well. Wholesale distributive
trade, it is true, notes something OF
the lull usual at this period Of 1.-The
year, but even here the uniformity is
broken by advices that salesmen
already on the road are receiving good
orders for spring, and that, in com
pliance with urgent instructions ship
ments Of spring goods are being for
warded liberaAy. Among the indus
tries activity reigns, the only deter
rent features being the scarcity Of
cars and Of fuel, limiting production
Of iron and steel or curtailing ship
ments Of lumber and grain. Prices as
a whole show aggressive strength,
present levels being the highest in
over two years. Corn and cotton, it
is true, have weakened, but the only
apparent result is that of encourag-
ing and expanding export trade. q
movement long and anxiously awaited.
Cotton goods remain firm, and it is a
sellers market for print cloth. The
feeling of confidence in the cotton and
cotton goods trades extends also to
wooden goods. Cold weather affects
the movement Of white pine, while
the southern yellow pine movement is
restricted by the scarcity of cars. a
feature is the activity in hard woods,
which are in demand at all leading
markets. The scarcity OF anthracite
coal is cause of large expense and
some suffering at the east. Efforts to
keep prices down to a reasonable level
seem to have failed and spectators
are reported in control Of the situa-
ton.
The iron and steel market is classed
as quiet, but symptoms of activity are
numerous. Pittsbu.s reports pig iron
very scarce and good sales have been
made at nearly top prices, while heavy
engagements Of steel billets. bare and
structural material are also reported.
Business failures reported for the week
number $50 as against 346 in the like
week of 1902.
