special dispatch from Enid, o. T. dated Jan. II
says; Daniel e. George, wealthy resident Of the
territory, who committed suicide here, announced
himself on his death bed to be John Wilkes Booth
the assassin Of President Lincoln He stated that
be had successfully eluded the officers after shoot
ing Lincoln, and had since remained incOgnitO.
His statement caused sensation and an investiga-
tion was made. Surgeons examined the body and
stated the man to be OF the age Booth would be at
this time, announced that his leg broken in the
same place and in the same manner as that OF Booth
after jumping from the presidents box in FOrds

teripus money remittances Smith is mysterious to
everyone In Oklahoma. Upon his arrival in Enid
today, he commanded that other persons be al
lowed to view the remains an promised to return
Tor the body later. Mr.. Smith was asked IL Mr..
George had ever confded any Of bis e's history to
him to which he answered "Well, yes, to some ex-
tent He has had past, and had told me OF hav.
ing killed man in Texas, for which crime, think
he had been acquitted. He may be Booth, don't
knew" George committed suicide In the Grand
Avenue hotel by taking poison. He previously at
tempted suicide at 81 Reno. A letter In bis pocket
is addressed to 'WhOm it may cOncrn," and sets
aside former will which he made although it's con-
tents are not known. He was worth $50, 900, own

that he was Booth, and his general appearance
closely resembles that Of the murderer of Lincoln.
History states that Booth was killed in Virginia
barn and that his remains we're burned with the

The people e the South viii have TO confess that
tie. lndianols affair and the presidents action,
zhiCh have caused such stir in the country, must
not be regarded as without good results, says the
Mobile Register. There is abundant evidence that
the thinking men Of the North have been confronted
With the "problem'' in new aspect, and many Of
them are quite agreed with as that the presidents
action was arbitrary and his punishment OF
the Innocent people Of Indianola unjust. There
hes been some very sage advice thrust upon the
presidents attention by such papers as the Wash
ingtOn Post, New York Herald, Philadelphia
Public Ledger and Chicago Record Herald. OF
course, the st. Louis Globe Democrat gnaws the file
and ia strictly partisan. It asserts despite the
R6man's own denial that the pOstmistress' life was
threatened by the people of IndianOla, and the
paper calls those who object to negro pOstmasters
Southern Radicals" and other newspapers, that
express themselves strongly the subject, ''ieath
eTheads'-all nicely calculated TO estrange the
Southern people at a time when st. Louis is look
ing sOuthward for patronage at her great fair
Most Of the Northern papers however, have the
correct idea, that it will be wise to cOnciliate the
SOutherners and give them the right kind OF office
holders as they want; and that it is bad policy to
c0nfOund the innocent and the guilty and punish
both alike by the abolition Of a pOstOf1ce, as Mr.
Roosevelt has done. For this sound expression Of
public opinion we have the IndianOla affair to
thank 1t has served good purpose, as the pur
pose, has been to enghten the president as to the
sentiments Of the South and the limits Of his own
authority justly exercised.

Clay county who Joined Colonel L. B. Dougherty's
company, Third regiment, O. s. A. which was the
first Confederate regiment raised in Missouri in the
civil war. He soon got reputation for extraOrdi-
nary GOODNESS and nerve. At Altoona Pass Miss,
he was assigned a dangerous position, and was
assailed by overwhelming numbers Of Federals. In
the fight that enkued he killed three men with his
bayOnet and one with rock, and finally got away.
He was captured at Vicksburg, and while being
taken to Northern prison on a boat, jumped one
dark night into the river near Grand gulf. BE was
powerful swimmer and, although rapidly carried
down stream seven or eight miles, he finally got to
shore and found his way back to the Confederate
camp. There must have been something of the
Puritan in his makeup, for he joined the Baptist
church in his youth, and despite his fighting pro-
clivities, wa faithful Christian all his life. Mr..
Rice was 70 years old He was born in Clay
county, and educated at William Jewell college.

CARPENTERS AND JoINERs MEET
Install New Officers at Meeting Last
NIGHT in TAYLOR BUILDING.


The regular meeting of the carpen-
tiers and joiners was held last evening
in their hall in the Taylor building.
The hearing of the reports of the retir-
ing officers and the transaction of the
regular routine business occupied the
attention of the greater portion of the
evening. The reports indicate that the
past year has been very successful
one for the union. There are now
about go members enrolled and taking
an active part in the work of the or
ganization.It is believed that there are
about 80 carpenters in the city who are
not members of the local organization.
Clearance cards have been allowed to
about ten or twelve members since the
beginning of the present year. Bust
ness has been good for the carpenters
and all are reported as doing well. The
prospect for good business during the
balance of the year at the present time
seems first-class. The organization at
the present time is in good condition
financially and the members are en-
thusiastic over the work they have
been able to accomplish through their
organization. Wages are good and
trade conditions are perfectly salts
