Proposition,

Perry, o. T., March 10-A large num-
Der Of the members of the Perry CONNER
cial club met In session last night in the
ofnces of the secretary, Attorney E. F.
Tebbe, to consider The proposition for
the establishment of a creamery in this
city. Mr. Miller. the representative of a
creamery company was present and sub
mitted his proposition TO the club TO the
effect that his company would furnish
the machinery and men. provided the city
of Perry supplied the building and guar
anteed the milk from a sufficient number
of cows
The club took very favorable action
in the matter, but the number of cows
which could be promised for the supply
OF milk could not be determined upon un-
til the farmers could be massed together
and a sentiment gathered from them.
With this matter to be determined upon
the club considered il necessary TO make
a call for the farmers of Noble county
to meet in mass convention in the court
house in this city on aSturdsy. March

desire to retain in authority men whose
oflcial conduct has been found faulty.
but from the feeling that any change
at this time would bel INJURIOUS to the
territory and the settling OF intricate
problems. 1t is believed that now, just
when the system under which the Dawes
commission Is working, is beginning to
shape itself, and when the winding up
OF tribal affairs seems but year and a
half distant. 70 turn these matters over
to another department would. in fact.
lengthen the time of deliverance for the
people of the Indian territory. In re-
ferring this man who has been con-
spicuous for his antagonism to the Dawes
commission. said:
While / am opposed to the way mat
tiers have been run here for the last few
years. still l would be loath TO advocate
any radical changes at this time. BY
the time new set OF officers could get
the run of the work. the present methods.
cumbersome as they are. would have af
fairs further advanced. Even II an en-
tirely new system. simpler in all its de-
tails, were devised, IL would be some
time before the machinery necessary
ly. The fact that some matters have al
ready been adjusted under the system
now in vogue might cause endless liti-
CATION and delay proceedings even worse
than any dflaiory action on the part OF
the present commission.
There has been considerable surprise
here that the report OF the examiners
was as scathing as it proved TO be. These
two men were here but few days and
what testimony was taken they took be-
hind closed doors. Accusations were
made against people. who. it was be-
lieved. never had an opportunity to re-
fute them.
Commissioner T. B. Needles, the only
member of the Dawes commission at
Muskogee now. refuses to say anything
about the report and lsughinsly remark
ed while busily engaged in hearing
contest case, that he wanted TO clean W
those matters before he was fired.

SITUATION
POLITICALLY
Caddo County Official Visits
the Capital City.
CAUTIOUS IN HIS TALK
FayorS Such Statehood as Can
Be Obtained.

Guthrie, o. T, March 1o.-C. F. Dyer.
| United States commissioner at Bridge
port in Caddo county. was in the city
last night. having come here on business
and to take a survey of the political field
from the capital city.
Mr.. Dyer is one of the wheel horses OF
Repubiicanism in southwestern Oklahoma
and he is counted a politician of con-
siderable weight He is a typical Oklaho-
ma statesman and as will be seen is
very cautious in his expressions about
| the political situation. The farmer and
business man of Oklahoma express their
opinions boldly on every issue but not
so with the politician. He waits until
he sees from which direction the trade
winds are going to blow.
Are you in favor of separate state
hood?" he was asked by AN Eagle repre-
sentative.
Il am in favor of self government for
the people of Oklahoma" he said. with
much deliberaten. and I would be in
favor of accepting any kind of statehood
congress can be induced to grant US"
will you be delegate in the terri
torial Republican convention?"
THE indications now point in that d.
rection ard may be one of the delegates
III that distinguished body"
'hWat kind of a platform will you ia
vor on the school land question, in re-
gard to selling or holding them?''
That matter will come before the first
state legislature and as We usually elect
pretty level headed men in Oklahoma, l
think it will be safe to say that the iegis-
lature will be goverened by public senti-
ment on that question.
Would you favor single statehood In
case the people of the Indian territory
would put up cash fund for their school
purposes equal in value to the valuable
school lands of Oklahoma"
1T seems 10 me that before congress
concludes TO give US single statehood, it
should weigh well the value of our school
lands and make some provisions to offset
them
I'm case we get statehood. either separ-
ate or single. what point would you favor
for the state capital?'
Il would favor an adequate and avail
able location that would be convenient
for the people The location of rail-
roads will have some bearing and we
are all the time getting more roads
Where would you locate the federal
courts?"
They ought to be located at points
where the people will be best occommo-
dated and where the business of the
courts will be facilitated
Which do you think the better crop
for Oklahoma farmers to raise. wheat,
corn or cotton?''
THAT seems TO depend somewhat On
the quality of the soil The farmers
should determine that by experiment on
their own farms"
And then the statesman from Caddo
composed himself evidently thinking that
the thousands Of readers of the Eagle
in Oklahoma would be able to tell Just
exactly how ne stood on several import
ant issues

INDIANS NOT IN 1T.
Militia Appropriation Doesn't Reach
Indian Territory,

Guthrie, O. T. March 10.-A MusEsgee
dispatch says: General Ira L. Reeves. of
the Indian territory volunteer militia. has
been Informed by Senator Charles :. Dick.
OF Ohio. that the impression held in some
quarters that the militia appropriation
bill. recently passed. was applicable to
Indian territory and the volunteer militia
is erroneous. Judging from his letter
on the subject. it appears there is little
hope for military legislation affecting In
dian territory this session He says. in
answer 10 the inquiry:
Indian territory. under the revised
statutes, is not considered a state or or
ganized territory. and ms legislation can
BE- had upon the subject pending the
consideration of statehood bills"

TOOK 4 STRAW VOTE
interesting Experiment in Res
taurant.

An advertising agent representing a
prominent New York magazine, while on
a recent western trip. was dining one
evening in a Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he glanced
over his newspaper and noticed the .sd-
vertisement of a well known dyspepsia
preparation. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets:
as he himself was a regular user Of the
tablets. he began speculating as to how
many of the other travelling men in the
dining room were also friends Of the pop
ular remedy for indigestion.
He says: l counted twenty-thres men
a the tables and in the hotel office took
the trouble 70 interview them and was
surprised TO learn that nine Of the twenty
three made a practice OF taking one or two
Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal
One OF them told me he had suffered so
much from stomach trouble that AT one
time he had been obliged 20 quit the road
but since using Stlart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets had been entirely free from indiges-
ton. but he continued their use especially
while travelling on account ot irreguIarity
in meals and because like ali travelling
men he was often obliged 20 eat what
he could get and rot always what ne
wanted
Another who looked the picture of
health said he never ate meal without
taking a Stuart Tablet sfter~a-d because
he could eat what he pleased and when
he pleased without fear OF a sleepless
night or any other trouble.
Still another used them because he was
