The MuskOgss Way.

Muskogee is a town of hustle.
We can't keep from admiring the
spirit that does things, regardless
Of her sins and overestimated pos
sibilities. AT the last meeting of
the commercial club there all pre-
vious records were broken. Some
time ago it was deemed advisableto
secure acreage property adjacent to
the city to beused as ralAoad shops,
factory sites and as a bonus to en-
terprises seeking a new location.
One hundred and ten acres north
of town was purchased, the six
banks paying $40, 600 and taking
the property over in the name Of
the Muskogee Title and Trust Co.,
for the organization. Later the
Midland Valley wanted 81 acres
south of town and the Canadian
Valley Bank and Trust Co. ,advanc-
ed S., 500 to the Chamber of Com
merce, bought the land and decided
it to the road, relying on the sub
sequent sale of the acreage Oh the
north for collateral. The PROPOSE
ton has now reached that point
where it was deemed advisable to
plat a 40 acre tract Of the no and
place it on the market at $50 per
lot in payments of SIS cash and the
balance at S. per month In less
than thirty minutes 2oI lots were
sold. The Phoenix says Thus by
the able hnanciering of President
Hopkins and the hearty co-opera-
ton of his committees, the banks
and enterprising citizens, the Mus
kogee business mems organization,
keeps its financial obligations, gives
a railroad S. 500 to locate its shops
here, reserves ten acres of factory
sites along the Muskogee Union
road and has seventy acres Of sur
1burban property yet tosell. South

KurOkI Is Dead.
Great japanese General Struck by
Shell October 4th.

Moscow, Nov. I2-Neniirovich
Danchenko, the well known Rus
sian war correspondent of the As,
sociated Press, telegraphing from
Mukden under today's date says
the reports Of the death of General
Kuroki are confirmed. According
TO his version the splinter of she'll
struck Gen. Kuroki tearing out a
portion of his breast and abdomen.
He died Oct. 4th and his body was
sent to Japan. A rumor is persis-
tently circulated that kinsman Of
the Mikado, Siaotsomy, little bird
prince, has been appointed TO sue
ceed Gen. Kuroki, but the actual
command Of the army has been
entrusted to Gen Nodzu, who is
reviewing operations.
For the last week, says Dam
chenko, we have practically not
advanced at any point on the south
western front even a few versts
further than we stood on October
5th. On the contrary we at sever
al places have been obliged to re-
tire several versts but the present
lines of defenses must be considered
permanent in view of the strong
Notifications constructed. The
japanese positions at several points
are only 500 PAGES distant from
ours and must be considered to be
definitely occupied by the enemy.
The latter's Notifications are ac-
knowledged by all competent per
sons to be skillfully constructed
Their trenches in many places are
so cleverly concealed as not TO be
noticeable short distance away,
the earth removed being carefully
thrown in front of the trenches
The general positions causes
great tension on both sides.
Alarming news has been receiv
ed from Port Arthur, but the alb
sence Of reports during the last few

THE old man replied. There Is a

Said the stranger, II did not ask

His heart with triumph glowing;

And fate sad tricks has played him
He'll know that what he didn't know
Was Just the things to aid him.

NEW POLICE COURT SITE.
Curious Facts Brought to Light by
Search of Title Company.

Assistant Corporation Counsel A. Left
witch Sinclair within a few days will ask
the District Supreme Court to appoint COM
missiopers to appraise the value of the
property occupied by the old Webster Law
building located near 9th and d streets
northwest, which is to be condemned by
the District for additional site for the pro-
posed new Police Court building.
Mr.. Sinclair has recently obtained from q
local title company a report relative to the
title tc the property, which is designated
as lot 2, in square 4S9. The report of the
title company contains several pieces of in
terestng information
The title company reports that according
to the records the trustees for Johnson
FAINT and others hold good title to all of
the land embraced in the lot, with the ex-
ception of IAN undivided one-half interest
in strip one inch wide along the east
front OF the lot, which is left by the records
In the heirs of Valentine WEIGH"
This, 1t is considered. is getting things
down to a pretty fine point, and it is not
anticipated that any serious difficulty will
be occasjoned by reason of the question as
to the title to strip of land no wider than
an ordinary hair ribbon along one side of
the lot.
1t Is suggested that should any trouble be
occasioned by reason of the doubt as to the
title to this ribbon of land the strip might
be eliminated from the whole and the par
ties to the undivided half interest in the
strip might be left to fight 1t out among
themselves without duplicating the District
1t is also set forth by the title company
that there is a deed of trust on the property
to secure promissory not for $1,000. given
by the residuary legatees dated March %,
1885. and payable ten years after date One
curious provision in the deed of trust to
which attention is called by the title COM
pany Is that during the continuance of the
deed of trust the life of one of the bene-
ficiaries shall be insured for $1,000 in a good
and reliable fire insurance company and
the policy assigned to the holders of the
deed of trust.
No reason is given for the unusual pro-
ceeding of insuring mans life in a fire In
surance company instead of in a life in
surance company, but it is presumed that
the makers of the deed of trust had reasons
of their own in deviating from the usual
rule.

HIS COMPANIONS WERE BRAVE.
Did All They Could to Save Life Of
Young Kenneth Pratt.

The parents of young Kenneth Pratt, who
was drowned while swimming in a lake
near Center Lowell. Oxford county, Me,
last week, have received a letter from DIR.
3 8. Stearns of this city, who IL summer
Ing at Center Lowell. DIR. Stearns was
present at the house when Pratt and his
companions left for their swim, and his de-
scription of the sad accident proves that
Pratts companions. although not as strong
swimmers, did all In their power to save
the drowning boy. who. according to DIR.
Stearns. died from heart failure. A Dor
ton OF Dr. Stearns' letter follows:
The five boys all went down to the lake
together. and We stood on the porch and
remarked about what a fine set of bows
they were, and Pratt was the finest look
Ing boy in the party. They rowed on the
lake about mile and a half to a long
sandy beach, where the water is very shall
low, and George Kennedy, Felix Cole and
Pratt stripped and went into the water
The other two boys went into the woods
These three boys swan down the beach to
nearly the end, when Felix found they
were in water over their heads. He turned
inshore and called to the other boys to fol-
low. Pratt refused to come, saying he
would swim to the end of the beach, about
thirty yards farther.
Pratt was the strongest swimmer of the
three, and was swimming hand over hand
and laughing and talking. He stopped
swimming suddenly and called to Ken
nedy: Kennedy, help me- George was
about ten feet behind, and swan up to him.
thinking that Pratt was in fun, perhaps
When George reached his side Pratt took
hold of Georges shoulder and put his
weight on George. and both went down.
George struck bottom and gave a push
with his feet, and both came up; but
Pratts weight was more than the slender
boy could sustain, and both boys went
down again. Although the water was only
&c ,NI hot
he was drowning himself, and pulled him
self away and came to the top and started
for the shore. He had only a few feet to
swim before he struck bottom and began
to wade, but he reached shore nearly dead.
George was so nearly dead he could hardly
get his clothes on.
Pratt was the only person drowned in
the lake for the past seventy years. He
died from heart failure. the result of weak
ening of the heart muscles. due to his
fever last summer He might have died
just suddenly on land"
A telegram received here this morning
says Kennedy is rapidly improving.
