Given q Chance
TAHLEQUAH: The Dawes com.
mission has posted a new order, which
Is to become effective at the Chero.
kee land office, as follows.
I'm admitting persons to the Chero.
kee land office in the future, allottees
holding return numbers will be admit.
ted only on the first Monday in each
month. This order will be effective
beginning with the month Of October.
In the meantime allottees having re.
turn numbers will be admitted on the
first Monday of each week until
October.
Beginning with Monday, Sep.em.
ber 19, the call of admission tickets
will begin with the lowest number and
run up until the last ticket issued has
been called on the following plan:
The call each day of the week will be.
gin with the number at each call
stopped on the last day of the week
preceding, not counting Saturdays"
This is the rule that might have.
with good effect, been put in force at
the beginning. Heretofore the man
who called the numbers would at l
o'clock on each day call numbers be.
ginning with and call until enough
people responded for a days work.
The next day he commenced at No. ]
again and called until he got enough
for another days work. and thus con-
tinued until this order has been made.
People with low numbers came when
It suited them, and the man who was
unfortunate and got a high number
had to wait, with no immediate pros.
pect of getting to file on his land. but
now the new order will give all q
chance.

ARE WORKING HARD
Force Of Dawes Commission Are Get.
tlnu Ready to Quit

TISHOMINGO: The Dawes com.
mission is rapidly pushing the work
Of allotment at the Chickasaw land
office, and by the first Of the year
expects to have the bulk of It CON-
pleted. II has been learned that the
reasons the governors of the Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations have refused
to sign the patents to the lands allot-
ted Is on account Of the form In
which they are drawn. The treaty
provides that after the allotments
have been made to the respective citi.
zens patent shall be issued which
shall be signed by the governors Of
the nations. The form of the patent
by the Dawes commission provides
that the patent shall be countersigncd
by the secretary of the interior. Tho
governors contend that the secretary
has nothing to do with the patents,
and that 1t Is not necessary that he
should countersign or approve them.
The citizens are anxious to receive
patents to their allotments, and there
Is a general feeling that II the patents
are forwarded to Washington the red
tape necessarily incident thereto will
cause an annoying delay, similar to
what was experienced in the Creek
nation.

No Change In Conditions
CHICAGO: The strike Of the
butcher workmen. which has demoral.
ized the meat packing industry
throughout the country for the past
two months, has been declared off by
President Donnelly of the Amalga.
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen. Mr.. Donnelly telegraphed
the members Of the national executive
committee asking its consent to an
announcement of the end of the strug.
gle, and having received favorable
answers from all the members, he de-
clared that the strike was at an end
The strike of the members Of the
affiliated unions at the stock yards
who quit work in sympathy with the
butchers, was also called off at q
meeting of the conference board Of
the allied trades. This was decided
upon at meeting of the central body
The general body was at first In
favor of continuing tho strike. but
Mr.. Donnelly, who was present, an.
nounced that the men were defeated,
and that, In order to save the union
from being entirely disrupted, he
would order his men to return to
work, no matter what course might be
taken by other unions. As the other
unions had no grievance, but had
gone on strike to aid the butcher
workmen, there was nothing left for
them but to follow the lead Of Mr..
Donnelly, and they, too, decided to
call off the strike as far as they were
concerned.
When the packers were notified
that It had been decided to end the
strike, they announced that they
would give places as far as possible
to the skilled men, but 1t was stated
at the same time that many Of these
men would be unable to secure their
old places, as In many cases the work
was being performed in q satisfactory
manner by men who had been secured
since the commencement Of the strik
since the commencement of the
| strike.
During the strike approximately SO,
900 persons have been involved in
the struggle, which is estimated tc
have cost the men about $4,000. 900 In
wages. as against an estimated loss
OF s7,5O0.00 to the packers in loss OF
business and increased expenses.
| The greatest number OF men Idle In
Chicago during the strike was 10000
and the total in the country outside
Of this city Is estimated to be about
the same.
The original cause of the strike wa!
a demand by the butchers union tha
the packers pay to the unskilled work
men 1917 cents an hour. The packers
refused to sign an agreement, but OF
fered to arbitrate the question. This
was accepted, the strikers agreeing II
return to work pending the decision
of the arbitrators. The men, however
were dissatisfied with the manner II
which they were being put to worl
and declared that they would not re
turn unless all the men were givel
their old places in one days time.
The packers declared that this wa
physically impossible. and the me-
went on strike for the second time.
The men now return to work unde
the conditions that existed befor
the strike.

Southern train lett Meridian ton

day, j.. p. Paris, a negro, entered
the mail car and shot Mr.. John
Il. Stockton, killing him instant,
ly, and seriously wounded Mr.
A. j. Bass, shooting him thro'
the shoulder and the right arm.
The latter, though badly woand-
ed, managed to reach the emer-
gency valve an d stopped the
train, thus probably preventing
a robbery. The men shot were
postal clerks. In attempting to
get off the train the negro fell
and had one foot badly crushed,
rendering escape impossible, al
though he managed to crawl to
a negro cabin about three. quar-
tiers OF a mile from the scene oil
his crime, where he was found
that afternoon by officers. lie
strenuously denies the shooting,
and accuses another negro named
Murray of being the murderer.
But Mr.. Bass has positively
identified Paris as the man.
Great excitement was occa-
stoned in Meridian by the cold
blooded killing OF Mr.. Stockton,
who was a peaceable, highly re-
spected citizen, and tor IA while
things looked favorable for an
appeal to mob law. The govern
or, being wired, ordered out the
militia to assist the sheriff, and
Judge 6. Q Hall, of the Circuit
Court, issued card stating that
a special term of the court would
be held to dispose of the case.
1t was a shocking, atrocious
crime, and while no punishment
2 would be too severe for this cold
blooded assassin, we are gratitied
to note that the law will be al
lowed to take its course.
