Big Fee is Lost.

Ardmore, I. T.-The Choctaw coun-
Gil, before final adjournment, repealed
the act of the special session appoint
ing Gov. McCurtain as agent to close
out the affairs of the tribe after the
expiration of the tribal government.
In lieu Of this act, a new bill was
passed providing for commission of
three who will receive stated salary
for the work Of closing tribal affairs
and disposing of the property Of the
nation. For some reason there was
an effort made to prevent this fact
from becoming generally known, but
the information comes from a mem
Der of the council and is vouched for
as being true. The action of the coun
Gil in repeating the act Of the special
session is supposed to have been oc-
casioned by the vigorous protests of
citizens of the Choctaw nation
through the press against the passage
Of such measure, Governor McCur-
tain receiving commission Of 10 per
cent for winding up the affairs, it be
ing alleged that such commission
would run the amount of his fees to
more than one million dollars.

Calmly Meets Death.

Winsor, Without a tremor and
without word, Mrs. Mary Mabel
Rogers marched to her death on the
gallows at the state prison here and
and paid the penalty Of numbering
her husband, Marcus Rogers at Ben
nington, on August Ii, 1902. To all
appearances, Mrs. Rogers was the
calmest person in the chamber of
death. She faced her end with the
same storical indifference that had
marked her demeanor ever since her
arrest, more than three years ago.
Greatly to the relief Of those Off
Gals who were assisting in executing
the sentence, Mrs. Rogers last hours
we're remarkably free from narrowing
incident. They had feared that the
woman's wonderful nerve would de-
sert her at the final moment and that
she would be carried to the scaffold
in a state of collapse.

Beveridge is Confident.

the president in part regarding the
status Of statehood legislation. The
senator is confident that congress at
the present session will erect two new
states and that the opposition to the
legislation will not be serious. One
state will be erected from Oklahoma
and Indian Territory and the other
from New Mexico and Arizona. Con-
siderable opposition to single state
hood for Arizona and New Mexico ex-

it VIII not be successful. Citizens of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory to
the number Of 200 arrived in a private

Arrested for Conspiracy.

st. Petersburg. Captain Bronitz-
ky, the chief Of the fourth department
of the navy, was arrested and impris-
oned in the fortress of SITS. Peter and
Paul. He is implicated in a conspi-
racy against very high parsonage, in
which also are concerned all the stu
dents Of the technical schools of cleo
tricity, two hundred and fifty Of whom
have been arrested. A special order
was issued by the Gar thanking the
Cossacks for their self-sacrifce, de-
votion and loyalty not only in their
foreign service, but in supporting I'm
perial authority at home. This order
is regarded in st. Petersburg as hav-
ing sincere significance. It is believed
that this order probably is prepara-
tory to utilizing the Cossacks in i'm
posing military dictatorship, which
the authorities undoubtedly will set
up the intsant it becomes feasible to
do so.

New York.-Reports that President

that Mr.. Mccall would certainly re-

Mr.. Mccall himself said that he had
no intention of resigning.
~ believe the policy holders are

asked me to resign, nor do I expect to
resign.
"The resignation of Mr.. Perkins
was suggested by Mr.. Morgan, to
whom the question of Mr.. Perkins
holding his dual position was referred
when Mr.. Perkins entered the firm Of
J. P. Morgan & Co. 1t is solely at
Mr.. Morgan's suggestion that Mr..
Perkins is retiring from the New York

Died From Hemorrhage.

Portland, Ore.-United States Sen
ator John H. Mitchell died at the
Good Samaritan hospital in this city,
resulting from complications which fol
lowed the removal Of four teeth at a
dental office. A hemorrhage of un-
usual severity followed as the result Of
the operation and despite the appli-
cation of the most powerful Supplies
known to dental science, the flow Of
blood could not be stayed. When the
senator reached the hospital he was
in very weakened condition and it
became apparent that unless the flow
Of blood was soon stopped life would
pass out. Senator Mitchell had long
been a sufferer from diabetes and 9TH

ened physical condition, rapidly sue

lowing such violent. hemorrhages and
lapsed into state semi-consciousness

Reduction Of Acreage.

Atlanta, Ga-President Harvie Jor-
dam OF the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton issued a circular letter to the
farmers of the south regarding the
reduction in cotton acreage for 1906
and in part the letter says:
The Southern Cotton Association
Will not ask the farmers of the south
TO reduce the cotton acreage for 1906
less than that planted in 1905. The
ASSOCIATION does ask and insist with
all the force at it's command that the
acreage planted in cotton in 1905 be
not increased during the planting sea
son of 1906. Let the watchword Of
every southern farmer be 'Diversii-
cation, and through that agency pro
duce an abundance of good supplies
to maintain each farm.
"The present estimated $4,000
OOO acres planted in cotton is sufi-
clent under normal climatic conditions
to produce enough cotton to supply
splnners for the American staple. Any
material increase in the cotton acreage
Tor 1906 will tend to stagnate the
cotton market and depress prices be-
low their legitimate value.
1.-The legitimate law of supply and
demand is the only true medium Of
reaching fair and legitimate prices
tor our great staple"
President Jordan closes the letter
with a strong appeal to the farmers
to plant an abundance Of small grain,
corn and side crops, and urges them
to raise more hay, cattle and hogs,
that the farmers may be more self
sustaining.

CONFIDENCE IN
15C COTTON
THE FARMERS ARE WINNING
THE FIGHT.
AND MANY PLEDGES ARE MADE
Hundreds of Thousands Of Bales are
Pledged to the Cotton Association
to be Held for Fifteen Gents and
Victory is Now in Sight.

Atlanta. Richard Cheatham, Sec
rotary of the Cotton Association saws
The cotton growers of the south,
through and with the assistance of
their organization, the Southern Cot
ton Association, are slowly but sure
ly winning the greatest commercial
battle ever known to the world. They
are being applauded by millions of
people who are watching the great
fight that is being successfully waged
by them to throw off the yoke of
thieving and speculative manipula-
ton that has held them so long, and
has been the means of enabling the
splnners to grow enormously wealthy
at the expense of the poor farmer.
Those who stood loyal to the Asso-
citation and accepted its advice, as
given last January, to fix price Of
lO cents per pound on their cotton
demand 1t and get ibid so, notwith-
standing there were thousands who
decrled their efforts by saying: elm
possible, foolish, etc." The amount Of
cotton held by the loyal ones were
sufficient to bring the price to ten
cents before the present crop was
ready for market.
On September 7th, the Association
advised the farmers to ask for 11cts.
Tor their cotton as conditions fully
warranted that price. Many fixed
that price and sold for it.
Now, on December LIST, the fact
that the crop is very short has been
established beyond the shadow of a
doubt, and only small remnant Of
that left unsold,, also, that the mar
kets are bare of dry goods with future
prices enormously advanced, cotton
mills loaded down with contracts and
orders for goods several months ahead
and with only about one-half enough
cotton in sight to fill them. Will they
pay fifteen cents for cotton Why, of
course they will if you ask it! If you
DO not they will take it at 5 cents as
have done in the past.
Decide for yourselves-let them
have 1t at its actual value, Is cents
or let them take it at their price, 5
cents-it is yours-do as you please,
but remember that if you sell for less
than its value, Is cents you are not
only injuring yourself, but every other
owner Of cotton is being denied his
price while you are giving yours away,
which prevents the advance as long
as they get it at less than its value.
Hundreds Of thousands of bales
are pledged to the Southern Cotton
Association for fifteen cents enough
to force the price to its value very
soon unless buyers can continue to
get yours that is not pledged at their
price, in this event the price cannot
reach its value until yours has been
taken out of the way and at their
price-then the loyal ones will again
reap the benefits of their Association
and it IS hard work in their behalf.
