Building Trades Lockout
Forty Thousand Workmen In
volved Began Today

New York, Aug 1.-The build
ing trades lockout, declared yester-
day, which goes into effect Monday
was practically into effect today
When all the orders have been car
ried out it is estimated that nearly
40, 900 union men will have been
forced out of employment. The
felt and waterproohng workers was
added today to the long list Of un-
ions particularly affected by the
lockout The various carpenters
unions affected BY the lockout took
action tonight at mass meeting.
Two thousand members of the
rival painters unions, the Amalga-
mated Painters aud Decorators Of
America and the Brotherhood of
Painters, Decorators and Paper
hangers, met tonight in Cooper I'm
ION and unanimously adopted reso-
lutions declaring for a national al
lance of the members Of the trade.
Should this plan SO through, il will
mean the union Of two labor organ
izations in the same field that have
fought each other for many years.
The matter Of alliance was left with
committees which will report at an
other meeting TO be held August
Us, when it is expected that final
action will be taken. The union of
the two long warning bodies is due
to the feeling that they ought TO
give up internal quarrels and join
in the present fight against the en-
ployers lockout in the building
trades which was declared yester-
day

Territorial Government
Gov. Ferguson Wants to See Indian
Territory Cut Up i'll Counties

Muskogee, Aug. There has,
within the past ten days, been a
revival Of the plan to divide Indian
Territory into counties and make a
territorial form of government
which shall obtain until 1906 when
it is proposed to have Indian Ter
ritory come in as a state. This s
the plan to have Gov. Ferguson f
Oklahoma appoint all the county
officers under the territorial gov
ernment to hold office until the
first election after statehood. 1t
would mean that the laws of Okla
homa would be made effective in
Indian Territory as well This
has been brought about by the
activity Of the temperance people
of the territory who have started a
campaign to bring Indian Terri
tory in as a prohibition state. To
extend the laws of Oklahoma
would give the breweries a firm
hold in the territory at single
step and it would then be impossi-
bic to dislodge them. The plan in
wolves the fight for prohibition, the
statehood 6ght'and fight for con-
troll of the republican machine in
the territory for control OF all APP
pointments.

foo Much Religion.

Officers from Eric, o. T., who
came in on the Mangum train yes
terday, had charge Of one Heinz
and his wife. both of whom were
insane. They took on too much
religion at a Holiness meeting
which was being conducted near
Eric. The man was violently in
sane and had to be shackled. The
wonan's mind was badly out OF
balance. They were being taken
to the asylum at Norman. This
fable teaches that there is danger OF
getting too much of even so good a
thing as religion mo occasion for
alarm, however for anybody around
these parts.

Temporary Closing
OF the Rock Island Shops Same
Thing all along the Line

The Rock Island shops were
closed this morning OH an order
from headquarters. 1t was not
stated how long they will remain
closed but it is not likely that it
will continue very long.
1t is undertood that the shops at
Shawnee, Harrington, Trenton,
Mo, and Moline, ILL.,, are also
tlosed, so there is no reason to be
live that the closing of the Chicka
sha shops was due TO any conditions
peculiar to the Oklahoma division
Of the Dad.
The fact is we'll known that rail
road companies all over the ecountry
are retrenching on account of the
great falling off in earnings and the
shop closing seems to be part Of
this general policy.
The people of Chickasha regret
the shutdown, both ON account of
the boys thrown out OF employ
ment and because of the indirect
loss to our business men. But the
results are not so serious as they
might be. The shops have been
running with a greatly reduced
| force all summer and for Some time
the boys have been working only
FIVE days a week. The round house
fore will continue their work in
order to do the necessary repairing
! An together there will be no great
! losses to the town and it may be
confidently expected that the shops
will be running by the end OF the
month.

Great Emigration
]. George Wright Confident Pros
perit will Hit Territory Hard

Muskogee, Aug. II George
Wright, Indian Inspector says
this fall will witness the greatest
immigration to Indian Territory
of any year in the history Of the
territory. Mr.. Wright has been
here a good many years and ought
TO make a correct diagnosis Of con-
ditions. He says that conditions
making for a permanent and popu-
lous settlement Of white farmers
are better than they have ever
been before.
Conditions surrounding the
transfer Of title to lands have been
greatly simplihed and now the
white man can obtain title to good
farms in Indian Territory as readi-
" as he can in Missouri and get
better land at a low figure. The
question Of title has been the buga-
boo that has kept bona fde farmers
from coming to Indian Territory
for years. This is now removed
There are other potent conditions
that will have a telling effect Ev-
cry prospeclor who comes to the
Indian Territory from the north
will have TO come through Kansas
or Missouri and will pass through
the flooded districts Of these states
where the high waters have.ruined
the crops. When they pass from
the barren fields Of these states te
the Indian Territory and see the
magnificent crops, the impression
is going TO stick that this IS ths
place for the intelligent and pro-
gressivc f1rmcr And the crops
here are big. There will be more
corn. more cotton and more oI
everything else grown in the Indian
Territory this year than ever II
any preceding season.

What the Cold Does.

The excessive cold season at Que
bee has had curious effect upon the
salt water cells. 1t is their custom In
winter to bury themselvts in the sand
or mud below the high water mark
and then hibernate.
This winter the frost has been so
keen for weeks at time that the sur
face of the wet sand has become a
sheet of ice directly the water ebbed
away. Probably this has had the eff
feet Of partially depriving the buried
cells Of air and the fear Of death BY
asphyxiation has sent them scurrting
out into the open where they met
with immediate paralysis from the
cold.
The appearance Of the beach on
some cold mornings has been remark
able. Thousands of eels from thirty
to seventy inches in length, each one
about as brittle as an icicle and
stretched out as straight as stick
lie about or stand upright from the
sand for a good third Of their length.
Carts and wheelbarrows, as well as
boats, have been filed day after day,
and the available markets for fresh
eels were long ago glutted. skinning
sailing and smoking have given em-
ployment to many who otherwise
would have been idle,
The question which suggests itself
Is: Do these eeIs hibernate naturally

charged by Mrs. Ella Fitch and her
brother OF this city with having con-
verted to his own use $4,000, the pros
eeeds OF sale Of Standard on cer-
tifcates placed by them In his care.
Sheldon and his partner maintained
Injurious offices In Wall street. but
according to those conducting the
search. has not been seen there during
the past three weeks. The last clue
they have been able TO find Is that he
suddenly left his boarding house with
his wife. who was Mas Davis OF Ken
ton, o.. and said to be the daughter Of
a former state senator from that dis
trict. Sheldon explained his sudden
disappearance by saying he wished TO
place his wife in q private hospital
Mrs. Fitch alleges that having be-
come impressed with sheldon's busi-
ness ability. she and her brother gave
his control OF valuable property In
Brooklyn. Shortly afterwards. she
states. that they were notified by him
that an insurance company holding a
mortgage for $4,000 on the property
desired II taken up They asserted he
was given the Standard oil shares TO
sell for this purpose and heard nothing
further until the mortgage actually be-
came due when they received warning
OF foreclosure and found II had not
been taken UP. Immediately steps
were made to find Sheldon.
