BELIEVES IN ALFALFA.
Farmer Grimes is an Authority on
That Subject.

Guthrie, o. T., May 6.-When Governor
Ferguson returned from the St. Louis
exposition, Acting Governor Grimes step
ped out Of the pilot house OF the ship
of state and the rightful head of the
state assumed its direction. 1t was then
that Farmer Grimes made a bee line for
kingfsher.
Mr.. Grimes has great faith in alfalfa,
and when he was relieved of the burdens
of state he took Mrs. Grimes and pulled
out for his fine farm near Kfngfisher
TO superintend his alfalfa seeding. He
has come to be an authority on alfalfa
in Oklahoma and whenever a farmer
thinks of going into the raising of alfalfa
on a large scale he comes to Guthrie to
confer with Farmer Grimes, who can
tell him when to sow and all about the
profits in raising alfalfa. He is sowing
forty acres more this year and will have
his whole farm in alfalfa if he keeps
on sowing.
1t is claimed that alfalfa iss grown here
more successfully than anywhere else
in America except on some Of the bot
tom lands around Wichita. Three crops
are counted on and some times the fourth
is harvested. Mr.. Grimes urges all the
farmers to sow at least small patch of
ulfaIfa

In previous exhibitions in which Okla

BUYING PINE LANDS.
Lumbermen in Squads Visit the Choc.

Muskogee. l. T, May 6-Since the allot-
ment of the pine timber land in the
Choctaw nation began last Monday morn
ing lumbermen fro mthe east and north
have been coming in by the dozens. and
are buying all the timber as fast as il
is allotted. So far the majority of the
anottees are fulIblood Indians. and. at
the encouragement of the lumbermen.
they are filing as fast as they can be
admitted to the land office.
As yet no saw mills have been installed,
but 1t Is said that in a few days the
lumber companies will begin to prepare
for cutting the timber. Two new rail-
roads are to extend through the timber
region. and it will ae question of only
a short time until the lumber can be
shipped.
According TO the supplemental agree

nations. any alottee can sell bis timber

supposed. until a patent is issued. The
Indian agency will not try 10 prevent

/ of the third morning, while proceeding
! through a narrow defile the party was
/ suddenly attacked by a band of over 200
1 Ladrones. armed with rifles and boloes.
/ At first fire three of the escort, which
consisted of eight men, were wounded; :;
the pack mules, unharmed, took fright
and stampeded to a grassy plain about
two hundred yards from where the de-
tachment were dismounted and returning
the hot and rapid fire lin the direction of
the rocks and into the jungle in which
the enemy were firing. On the backs of
these mules was the money, $4,000 in
gold, the prize for which the Ladrones
were struggling. and from the well ar
ranged plan of attack and the facilities
for ambuscade it looked as though the
entire detachment would be killed and
everything lost.
Private Bayard was firing from a small
declivity, seeing that all was lost unless
some action was taken quickly, keeping
a well directed fire towards the Ladrones,
who were then visible, trying to approach
lne mules. which were now quietly graz
ing Two or three insurgents had al
mule with endeavor to drive her off in
the hope that the remainder would fol-
low. Private Bayard, laying down his
carbine. without uttering word, dashed
down the defile, across the plain, into the
midst of the startled Filipinos, jumped
astride the nearest mule and with wild
yell he dashed straight ahead followed
by the rest of the animals, and before
the surprised Ladrones could hinder had
escaped. He proceeded at wild gallop
eight miles to the nearest post and re-
ported to the officer there the conditions
and delivered the money. Securing a
new mount. he led the company back to
his hard pressed comrades, arriving there
just in time to save the detachment.
This is viewed by the soldiers in the
Philippine islands as one of the many
brave and airing deeds done by our sol
dicrs While Bayard. now corporal. pro-

BURCLERY is
DISCOVERED
Mosfort Store at AIva Was
Entered by Thieves.
WERE EVIDENTLY EXPERTS
Opened the Safe and Carried
Off Jewels and Money

Alva, o. T., May 6.-When the jewelry
and drug store of j. W. Mosfort was
opened for business early this morning
it was found that the place had been
burglarized some time during the night
and money and jewels to the extent of
S1,5e1 were stolen.
T The thieves entered the building by
breaking a window in the rear of the
store. Eight hundred dollars worth of
the booty secured was watches, rings
and other articles of jewelry. The bal
ance was 500 in money which the thieves
took from the safe. The latter recepta-
Gle showed no signs of having been tam
pered with, with the exception that the
door was found open. The safe is of an
old pattern. the locks being of the tum-
bier variety, and it is supposed that the
robbers worked the combination.
Although no clue has been discovered
to the robbers. it is supposed from their
expert work in opening the safe that they
are experienced hands at the business.

of the best home talent productions put
on in the territory this year
There were over 200 students in the per-
sonnel and the stage was mardly large
enough for the ''HalIelujah" chorus Of
100 voices. There were, In fact, more
characters in each number on the pro-
gram than were ever presented in Nor
man.
The choruses were all we'll rendered
and the harmony and melody of each
number was RENAL rkable. The glee club
and the Scarf fantasies" drill were
also very well trained and gave their
parts with great ease.
The orchestra and ladies' quartette and
the one-act comedy were also prominent
numbers on the program and were all
well received and much applauded. The
program was as follows:

SAVED WARNING
ALARMED BY NUMBNESS, PAIN
AND LOSS OF VITALITY.
Mrs. Pember Escapes Shock and Il
Cured of Rheumatism and Debility
hY DR. Williams Pink Pills.

4 few years ago the happiness of Mrs.
Lucretia A. Pember, of No. IS Lebanon
avenue, Wiilianantic, Conn, was dis
turbed by constant fear of a paralytic
shock. An annoying numbness had ap-
peared from time to time. III her left arm
and this, in connection with a generally
debilitated state, she regarded as a sig
nal of danger. 1t caused her great
anxiety and finally led her to adopt a
course by which she was relieved not
only from the dread of a shock but also
from other serious interferences with her
health She gives the following detailed
account of her experience:
For several years / was subject to
numbness in my left arm. 1t did not
stay there all the time, but would go
and come again. Sometimes there would
be sharp pain. Every time it came it
suggested a paraytic stroke and alarmed
me greatly
This was not all, for ] had rheuna-
tism in my left knee which was swollen
and very painful, and caused me to be
laid up in bed for long time. l was
very thin, too. and colorless and lacked
vitality
The doctors gave me put little renei'
and that little lasted only for short
time. So, when a relative told me about
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
1 was quite ready to give them a good
trial.
They certainly did wonders for me.
They drove away the numbness from my
arm and delivered me from the fear of
shock that 1 am sure I would have had
if it had not been for them. They also
cured my rheumatism and debility.
still take them in small doses as gen.
eral tonic and L cannot recommend them
too strongly"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have effected
many remarkable cures in cases of par
tial paralysis, and even such as are sud
lenly stricken should not despair. Those
who. like Mrs. Pember, recognize the |
approach of the disease may use them |
With the utmost hopefulness. DIR. Will |

timber Indians. and such Is their love
for their sort of life that when the Dawes
commission and the interior department.
attempted to segregate the timber land
they refused to come forward and accept
allotmerts in the rich valley lands. OF
course, they we're not at the time con-
scious that they would gain by this act
of stubbornness, but by selling their tim
Der with any degree Of caution they
would have the advantage of those who
got the very best farm lands. Many OF
the more intelligent ones are placing
their surplus in pine. By this method
they get good farms and a vast area of
timber besides. Some families, where
there are several members, get as high
as 1900 acres of pine timber.

IN THIRD CLASS.
Only Federal Census Counts In Indian
TERRITORY.

Guthrie, o. T.. May GA Muskogee dis
patch states that a movement to make
Muskogee a city of the second-class has
led to the discovery that all Indian Ter
ritory towns must remain in the third
class until after statehood is acquired.
unless congress should pass a special act
providing for a federal census. The law
under which Indian Territory is governed
provides that the required population
must be shown by federal census. When
the last census was taken, none of the
Indian Territory cities had the requisite
number of inhabitants, and the next CEN
sus will not be until the year A D. 200O.
The movement to make this city of the
second class was started a few days ago
by the city council. its object being to
get the advantage of the law governing
paving in cities of the second-class.
