Fredericktown Tribune.
A suit began years ago in Wayne
county, and has just last week been
decided in the supreme court, where
in the Deguire Milling Co., came out
on the winning side to the tune Of
about $4,000. General Lampher,
who is one of the four, is with the
others of course, quite jubilant over
the favorable ending of the long
drawn out suit. Judge r. y.
Anthony was one of their lawyers
and deserves much credit for its
favorable ending.

gymnastIe instruction in the feet has
been placed upon fresh basis; In fact,
II has become as much part Of naval
instruction as is glnnery or torpedo

Hitherto gymnastics have been un-
der the control of the gunnery officers,
and as these have had quite enough TO
do TO look after gunnery work and 9th

for. the physical development OF our
sailors has been neglected This does

TIL REMIUVE
RESTRICTIONS


"Wednesday morning, after much
talk, the house was successful In hav-
ing the Little amendment restored in
the Indian appropriation bill Judge
Little's amendment provides for the
removal Of restrictions upon the sale
OF lands in the Indian Territory in the
case OF all white inter-married citi-
zens and all adopted citizens. While
this provision was agreed to, it is not
as strong as the house members Of the
conference wished 1t, but as the Little
provision had been struck out IN the
senate, almost any concession was re-
garded as victory, The senate pro-
vision regarding the sale Of lands OF
fullbloods upon receiving the permis-
sion Of the secretary Of the interior,
was the first antagonized, but was
withdrawn when indications pointed
TO an agreement Of the Little bill.
The conferees are also experiencing
some trouble Ia paclfying representa-
tiyes Stephens, Of Texas, who Is stre-
nuouslY obiecting to the item In the
bin authorizing the secretary OF the
interior to purchase additional land at
Sulphur Springs, l. II. In his fight on
this item he is practically standing
alone. The Texan contends that the
Indian rights in this case have not
been considered: that II Is not right
to tell the Indian that he must yacate
his land which he has improved, be-
cause the government has taken a
fancy to II aud wants TO give him its
full worth in money. He contends
that the government is now in pos
session OF go acres OF land at Sulphur
Springs, and that amount Is sufficient
for the present for the purpose Of the
government in making the Springs a
health resort along the lines OF Hot
Springs, Ark His position is that,
later on, should conditions warrant,
there is time for the purchase Of these
lands by the government, meanwhile
permitting the Indians to enjoy the
fruits Of their labor.
The more important items Of the
bin, such as the appropriation for the
Dawes commission, have been reached.
There Is no disposition evident on the
part OF the conferees TO strike out the
provision and provide for one commits

4 Passes Resolutions for
Single Statehood.

The following circular has been
sent to every town IN the Indian Ter
ritory by the statehood club Of Durant:
Sir: We are on the verge Of passing
into statehood with Oklahoma ON an
absolute equal Footing. Every indi-
cation is that an Enabling Act win
he passed at the present session Of
Congress. Now is the time 10 make
final effort to secure the passage Of
the best statehood bin now pending in
Congress.
The Quay bill, S. 1925, gives us:
l. A ten million dollar school fund;
2 Six representatives inNthe lower
house,:
,, Removes al restrictions from
Indian lands IN excess Eof Ithe ahome-
!. stead. No other bill pending or pros
speetiye gives us more than:
7 l. Five million for public Eschooi
fund;
.. Five members Of the lower house;
and
3. Leaves the restrictions on Indian
lands in excess OF the homestead.s
Restrictions on Indian, lands may
be removed later: Four representation
in the lower house will adjust itself,
but now or never will get the ten
million dollar school fund, instead OF
five million. We must act now and
act Ia concert. The unanimous In
dorsement of the Quay bill by the
people Of the two territories win In
sure It's passage.
Durant has indorsed the Quay bill,
rs have Ardmore, Comanche, Blue,
Silo, Bennington and several other
towns, but this Is not enough. Every
town must act, aud act at once, TO
accomplish the desired end. We are

This is not party question but one
which touches the welfare OF the fu-
ture state. We are all for getting as
= big a schoolfund as possible. 4 fair
valuation OF sections 10 and 30 Ia the
Indian Territory would be easily ten
million dollars; we are therefore enti-
tied 10 this sum at the hands oi th
government II yon would get Il, in

There may be some objectional iea-
