Suicide Is becoming quite fad in
Astoria. Yesterday morning Miss
Nellie Lamont, sometimes called

euphonious title of "The Spanish
Queen" attempted to commit suicide
by jumping Off the wharf at the foot
OF Seventh street. Her quasi husband
who ofTiciates as a swamper at the o.
K. followed her to the wharf and
when his meal ticket jumped over
board, he followed suit and rescued 1t
from the watery grave. They came
to the surface spontaneously and by
this time d crowd had gathered. A
rope was thrown to the happy couple
and they were towed ashore. The only
benefit derived from the plunge was
bath, something unusual for either
Of them, judging from their appear
ance.

Congressman Stephens of Texas
who arrived more than a week ago
IS anxious to secnre the removal Of

all restrictions. except the aliena-
tion Of the homestead, but it is
doubtful if CONGRESS will 60 this
far In the event congress will
not accede to this he will then CON
tend fer. a removal Of restrictions
OH the alienation Of all lands held

who have less than so per cent In
dian blood This can easily be de-
ternined by the records of the
Dawes commission While Secre-
tary Hitchcock will oppose this
Legislation the probabilities are
thal something along this line will
be enacted
The chances Of the appointment
Of Steve Douglas as postmaster at
Ardmore have greatly improved
during the last few days. In fact,
it is reported upon apparently good
authority that Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Brislow has
recommended the appointment of
Douglas. This would seem to in
dicate that lie will be appointed.
Nothing definite can be ascer-
tanned at the postofice department
with reference to the MusEogee
postmastersiiip. 1t is stated. how
ever on good authority, that there
IS no truth in the report that Alice
Robertson has been agreed upon as
postmistress.
Secretary Hitchcock has called
upon Chairman Bixby Of the
Dawes commission TO explain why
il is that he has not subscribed TO
the oath demanded four months
ago Of alliaterior department off
eials and employees in theterritory
to the effect that they are not
holders Of any stock i'll any land or
trust companies ii the territory,
and are not the owners Of any real
other than their homes.
Chairman Bixby has declined tp
10 the present time TO comply with (
his regulation. Ii is intimated at
the department that he will either
have 70 make the oath or tender
iis resignation.
