WHY eRhYsoN WENT DRY.
Some Reflections BY a Shermanite
Whisky Men Felt Safe.

A Grayson county gentleman who is
here today said the carrying OF Gray
son county, Texas, by the prohibitions
lists last Saturday was a great victory
for the temperance people. Red liquor
has held the ribbons over Sherman and
other points in the county ever since
Jesse p Loving and his friends NOV
ed there in 1S4s. Not that Mr.. Low
ing brought 1t here, but we recall his
name because it was about then when
the little town was first started.
For the past few years the saloon
men, one In particular we understand,
has defed the temperance people, al
lowed minors TO visit their places and
imbibe of the DEVILS beverage; per.
mitted college students to rendezvous
at their resorts and get drunk; kept
their places open on Sundays in de
iance of the law and in every way
possible carry on their business in a
most Objectionable manner to the bet.
ter class of people.
The election came up last Saturday,
the temperance people marched to the
polls in a solid phalanx and deposited
their ballots which said I'VE will stop
you from demoralizing our young men
and college boys"
The men of wine were not looking
for defeat. They did not know that
the voters Of Whitewright. Whites.
boro, Collinsville and Van Alstyne,
which were already local option towns.
were going to vote almost to a man
to stop selling liquor in the whole
county.
They knew that II they could stop
the traffic in the whole county II would
help their business. and It is said that
even the whisky men at these pre-.
cincts voted with the prohibitionists.
The Sherman gentleman remarked
further that there were thirty-two sa.
looms in Sherman and forty-two IN
Denison, and about that many vacant
houses would be for rent in a short
time.

rwo stOrIes on Senator eeverIdae.

A friend of Senator Beveridge, ac-
companied by two young women. call
ed upon the senator at the capitol a
few days since. After the introduction
one OF the young women congratulated
Mr. Beveridge upon his success in
leading the opposition to the state.
hood bill.
Il know all about you" the girl
added, "and | am 30 glad you kept
Arizona and those other places out
west out of the Union BY the way,
Senator you are from Texas, are you
not?"
Mr.. Beveridge suddenly lost inter
est in the conversation.
This little story reminds the writer
of an incident at the capitol one day
two years ago. With a schoolmate who
was returning home from the East we
strolled through the capitol building
and in one Of the Railways stood a
small, boyishlooking fellow with. ap.
parently nothing to do. My compan-
ion halted and said to Judge Dear.
mond, who is that boy standing
there?"
THAT boy! Why that is Senator
Beveridge OF Indiana"
II is needless to say that there were
no more personal remarks made while
we were in the capitol building.

Department OF Interior Makes Ruling
That viii Cause Confusion.
Muskogee. l. r.. Mar. 1.-THE In
dian agent received a letter from the
department of interior this morning.
making changes in the recent rules
and regulations governing the sale and
lease of lands in the Greek nation that
will create endless confusion and
some delay in the transfer OF lands.
A short time ago forms and deeds
were sent by the secretary to be is.
sued by the agent here who passed up
on sales and leases. These forms
were printed by every newspaper in
the Creek nation and sold. Many
transfers were made on them. and
they are filed in the Indian Offices for
approval
Now the department has ordered
the Indian agent to tear out the form
of deed as per last instruction and
insert in its place a new form of deed.
There are also different forms OF afii.
davits from the original ones. Par.
ties who have made deeds are at a
loss to proceed. and there is vigorous
protest from the people.
The newspapers OF this city have
refused to print more deeds. Terri.
tory newspapers will take the matter
up. It is evident that some serious
blunders have been made somewhere.

blundered

over the country. are rotten A school
boy could see that they are not what
they should be when they we're sent
out, but the authority Of the high and
mighty secretary was not TO be ques
toned.
The forms we're used. Lands were
sold and deeds made out.
Now comes the secretary's underline
in letter and says the forms for The
deeds will be changed. That the afh
davits must be changed and that ad
ditional ones will be sent
Who is responsible for this?
What will become of the deeds that
were made out under the previou,
signed instructions, conforming to the
letter with tho rules and regulations?
Who cares to make a deed to his
land, and who cares to take a deed
when the forms and rules are likely
to change before the ink gets dry on
the transfer?
In all there have been FIVE changes
ordered since the regulations were
sent out.
The people of the Creek Nation, in
the name Of right and justice. demand
that such inexcusable ignorance be
eliminated from the department that
has to do with Creek deeds. and that
they be given something that will be

AT ST. LOUIS FAIR.

Atlanta, Sept. 1S.-F. B. Gordon of
Columbus, representative of the state,
and w. G. Copper and ]. P. Stevens,
representatives of the city of Atlanta,
returned from st. Louis this afternoon,
where they had gone to look into the
matter of space for the Georgia and
Atlanta exhibits. AT a conference held
at the executive mansion tonight they
made a report to Gov. Terrell and
Mayor Howell. Mr.. Gordon reported
that the officials of the Exposition
had consented to permit the textile in
dustries of Georgia to have a joint ex-
hibit instead of forcing each mill to
make a separate exhibit, as was at
first suggested. The citys represen-
tatives announced that Atlanta would
be given one of the most conspicuous
places on the grounds. Those present
at the meeting were Gov. Terrell,
Mayor Howell, F. B. Gordon, w. G.

MOTION TO DISMISS
WAS 0VERRULED.

New York, Sept. 1S.-At the exami-
nation of George w. Beavers, the in
csicted nostal official. charged with
conspiracy with the Brandt-Dent Man
ufacturing Company to defraud the
government, which was resumed to-
day, Commissioner Hitchcock an
nounced that he had decided to over
rule the motion made by the defense
at the previous hearing to dismiss the
proceedings because of invalidity of
the indictment.
He also repeated his ruling that the
properly certified copy of the indict-
ment returned in Brooklyn was suffi-
cient evidence to make out case of
proba BILE cause, and to warrant the re-
turn of the accused, properly identi-
fed to the district wherein the indict-
ment was returned.
1t developed during the examination
that subpoenas for Postmaster Cen
eral Payne and other federal officers
had been ignored. Mr.. Steuers, attor-
ney for Beavers, said if the case could
be gone into now it would prove that
Beavers was absolutely innocent and
had nothing whatever to do with the
alleged conspiracy. Mr.. Steuers init
mated the government was trying to
shield some one by the indictment.
Mr.. Burnett for the government said
the defendant would be given an OPP
portunity to prove his innocence IN
eyOOd time
