Stops the Sales
New Order of Secretary of Interior
Interfcres With Land Sales.

A Muskogee special says The
people Of Indian Territory have
just begun to realize that the new
order of the department Of the in
terror relative to the sale of Indian
lands, will effectually stop the sale
of lands. The order that no Indian
can list his land for sale until he
has agreed to take the money there
for in payments Of $40 per month,
is considered the most disastrous Of
any order issued by the department
Any Indian can lease his land for
$I3o per year, the amount he would
receive on the installment plan,
and by the time he would have
drawn all the money paid in a sale,
he would have drawn an equal
amount in rentals and would Still
have his land. 1t has been the
idea Of the Indian to sell enough Of
his land to get money to improve
the remainder. This he can never
do under the new rule. 1t is also
pointed out that the bank which is
made the depository for tbs &c funds
pays the Indian no oAntl;esl The
bank can take the money deposited
TO the Indians credit and buy an
equal amount Of land and rent it
for enough to pay the Indian his
monthly payments. When the In
dian has drawn the amount due
him the bank will have paid only
rental money and will still have not
only the land but the use Of the
money all the time without inter
est. OF course the y. S. deposi-
tory must be national bank, and
national bank is not allowed to
do a real estate business, but that
is easily evaded by forming a trust
company and handling. the real es-
tate that way.
The sales Of the Indian agency
had dwindled to four or FIVE tracts
week under the old regime and it
is believed that il will be discon-
tinued entirely now. This will al
50 prove the last straw and this fall
fall there will be the greatest posi-
bic pressure brought to bear on
congress to relieve Indian Territory
from its present rule ofbureaucracy
aud give it immediate statehood.

The Danger Of Poverty.

Solomon, who managed to rake
in comfortable fortune declared
that the destruction of the poor
man was his poverty.
Solomon's head was level. The
man takes chances that the rich
one does not have 10 take.
When the poor man travels he
rides in day coaches in order to
save money and sleeps with his
neck hooked over The back Of the
seat aud his Adams apple jutting
up into the microbe infested, hot
reeking air Of the car. During the
night the engine butts into another
engine going in the opposite di-
rection and he is either a subject
for the coroner or the carving knife
of the surgeon. He sues the blast
ed corporation and after being
knocked about for seven years go
ing from one court TO another he
settles for a thousand dollars and
gives the big end Of that to his
lawyers. The rich man and vast
number who are not a hundred
dollars ahead of the game take
sleeping car berths and slore com
fortably through the watches Of
the night
Here again the man of means
gets the best Of the economical son
Of poverty He rides on Pull
man, back near the end of the
train and while the smoker and day
coaches are mashed into kindling
wood the sleeper is hardly even
bumped.
TO say nothing Of comfort the
Pullman sleeping car is good in
vestment by way of insurance
against accidents. We have come
to the conclusion that in the peril
Gus times when railroad wrecks are
occupying the lines Of every daily
paper and have been for the past
eight months it is the siuart thing
to either take a rear sleeperor stay

Two Fire Alarms.

The fire department responded
TO two calls last night. The first
was turned in about 6:3o. A small
stable back Of the opera house was
on fire. The department prompt
ly responded. An EXPRESS re-
porter watchedIthe boys hitching up
aud il occupied just one minute.
The FIRE was practically extinguish-
cd when the scene was reached.
Little or no damage was done.
The second alarm came about ten
o'clock. The exact location was
not reported and as no fire was
found, it must have been a false
alarm. Great care should be used
BY those who report fires to the
central telephone Office to give the
exact place. The alarm should
also be given very promptly. til
impossible for the department to
accomplish anything when a
building is half burned before the
alarm is given.

Chester P. Mills, was named as one Of
the alternates for appointment as ca

The United States Senate STANDS be-

his son cannot get into the Academy un>
less some Of the principals named at

able to overcome the objection which
the Senate offered to his promotion, and
army officers who have had experience
with the West Point examinations think
II likely that all the principals and al
ternates named for ca dets-at-large will
be exhausted before the six cadets are
selected. In case this happens, young
