PETITION is DENIED.
saltwater People Seek a Receiver for
Newspaper

Guthrie, o. T.. April To-day quite q
number of the leading lawyers and news
paper men of Saltwater, Payne county
Oklahoma, were here. Among them were
noticed John S. Hale. ex-editor of the
Saltwater Advance; Freeman Miller, "the
sweet singer" Of Oklahoma; ex-senator
and leading attorney, Judge Ewing, and
Assistant County Attorney Williams, all
of Saltwater The occasion OF their COM
ing was to present evidence before Judge
Burford with reference to the appoint
ment of a receiver for the saltwater Ad-
vance. Mr. Hale, who was recently de-
posed from the editorship of the Ad-
vance by Freeman Miller and ]. d. Diggs,
who held the majority of the stock. 1t
appeared from the evidence that the Ad-
vance was being diverted from its orig
inal policy OF running iron-bound and
rock-ribbed Democratic editorial matter
into the somewhat incongruous policy of
conducting a Prohibition organ, and
thereby, according to the testimony. the
patronage OF the Advance was rapidly
being withdrawn. The petition for a re-
ceiver was denied by Judge Burferd.

commissioners of Pawnee county claimed
that large number of cattle held in
the Usage country belonging mostly to
mon in Kansas and Texas, ought to pay
taxes to Pawnee county. The county at
torney Of that county gave the opinion
that the take could not be collected.
The county commissioners were not sat
isfied with this decision ana they entered
into a contract with Horace Speed to
collect the taxes. He collected over fifty
two thousand dollars and turned it over
to the county. Some was paid in on
which he did not claim a fee. on a part
of the balance he charged twentw per
cent and the rest twelve and half per
cent. His fees in all amounted TO S7,70e
which was paid.
Mr.. Speed claims that the suit after
ward filed was a matter Of spite. AT
al events in 1902 this case was filed. At
the time the contract was made with Mir.
Speed the county attorney of Pawnee
county tried to restrain the commissioners
from making the contract claiming that
under the law the commissioners had no
right to make such a contract.
The district court of Pawnee county
held that the commissioners had acted
within the law and no further objections
were raised until after DIR. Speed had
collected the money and had received
his fee Public sentiment here is with
Mr.. Speed and people. every time the case
is spoken OF. say that he earned the
money and made about 5000 for Pawnee
county

STREET FAIR IN PROGRESS.
Muskogee Is Filled With Thieves and
Pickpockets.

Guthrie, o. T, April IA dispatch from
Muskogee says a street fair is in progress
here and that the town is filled with
thieves and pickpockets The house Of
Colonel ]. Blair ShoenfeIt, Indian agent,
was entered last night and a large guam
tity of silverware and valuable jewelry
were taken other houses in the town
have also been entered. A band of pick
pockets seems to haunt the Katy depot
and number of men getting off or on the
trains there have lost their pocketbooks

without government aid. At that time
they were told that if they would move
of their own free Will and pay the expense
incident thereto they would be allowed the
money thus expended. The government
nthose days, however, was less conscien-
tious about carrying out its contracts with
the Indians and claimed the government
agents were not authorized to make such
promises Year after year the Indians
had bill introduced into congress to sat
isfy this claim. but IL was turned down
until lately
The original claim was near $4,000, but
it has been shaved and trimmed in each
bill until il now amounts TO but $1,000. 1t
will be difficult matter to prove the ben
eficiaries to this amount, however, for
nearly all of those who moved 10 Indian

hausted and suffering to such an extent
that sleep was impossible Every morn
ing he forced himself with heroic reso-
luton to resume his work. But the days
went by without bringing him any re-
lief, until it became clear that even his
remarkable will power could not long
sustain such fearful odds. His good
wife became alarmed and both began to
look eagerly for assistance. They found
it at last by following the advice of a
storekeeper and French weaver whose
sympathieS had been aroused.
Told in his own way, Mr.. Hickey s
experience was as follows: My trouble.

of cold air that played about my feet at
my six looms One foot swelled just
above the ankle, and the pain became
something terrible. I forced myself /,
limp about during the day but it was
worse at night when l got home and, as
soon as l got my supper, l had to go to
bed to get a little relief. Besides the
torture in my foot l would have nervous
jumping spells, shortness Of breath and
pain near my heart.
Il stood it as well as I could for three
months, trying many medicines, but all
the time getting worse, until two friends
told me what wonderful virtue they had
found in DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. One of them said they hat

Democratic Leaders.

Guthrie. o. T. April 1.-The vote of the
Socialist party IN Oklahoma this year is
an Unknown factor in the congressional
election, which is bothering some OF the
Democratic politicians.
Smith, the Social candidate for congress
two years ago. polled nearly half as many
votes as either Mcclure or Cross. and this
year there are indications that a large

the Socialists instead Of for the Demo

ago was: Mcclure, Rep1. 45.S5S; Cross.

PATHETIC STORY
Attached to Twenty-Dollar Blll Pre-
 served Since the War.
From the Louisville Post.

From the Louisville Post.
 County Judge w. H. Prewitt, who now lies critically i'll at his home in Danville, Ky, with very little hope of his recov- cry, has in his possession a $2O bill, which has connected with 1t pathetic story of the civil war. While gathering togeth- CT and arranging his personal effects, in company with several friends on Tues day, he pulled from an old box s2O bill, yellow with age and remarked: This must not be spent during my Ifre- time"
 He then related the following story: Just after the battle of Perryville l found two young Confederate soldiers two boys, about F and IS years of age lying wounded upon the battlefield. l took them to my home, then in the neighbor- hood of the battlefield, and took care of them for several weeks, until they re- covered from their wounds. One morn Ing a company of Federal soldiers sur rounded my house and took us prisoners to Danville where they kept us for sew eral days before taking the boys to pris- on. When the lads were about to be taken away they gave me this s20 bill for taking care of them. I refused at first, but they insisted that I take the money for 1t would be taken from them anyway, and I would just as soon have 1t as anybody. l finally consented. They gave me the bill and bade me good-by as they went to prison. This was forty-two years ago. said the judge. "and I have neither heard nor seen anything of the young soldiers since, but I have kept this money. Many times l have been broke and in need of a dollar. but I never had n desire to spend the bill. Here 1t Is; 1t belongs to them"

In the interest manifested we see g peo- ple's tribute. Not only WIS the period of his presidency one of the most remark able in the world-signalized by the devel- opment of railroads, agricultural ma chimes. the modern type of the daily news paper, and the blooming of American lit- erature when the names of Longfellow, Whittier and Hawthorne were added to those of Bryant, Cooper and Irving; but he was unhinchingly loyal to the Union and a friend of the masses Especially did he stand for absolute probty, courage and truthfulness in a time that needed these attributes.
