Oneida Council No. 6 has arranged
for a moonlight excursion on the

Slips Not Remedied.
The slip on East Park avenue was
bad enough of the kind. and greatly
lamented during its existence by all
who passed that way, but Brady Mere
dith and his crew have at last fully
remedied 1t. There are still other
slips. however. of longer standing and
of a more serious character out along
this same line of travel, which have
not yet arrested the attention and
practical interest they should in or
der to insure their restoration. We
refer to those questionable charac.
tiers who slip off over the bank along
this same avenue with the opposite
sex, and do not recover their equiIib.
rum and get back on the proper line
of observation until unreasonable
hours of the night. One needs only
to keep an eye out and see who they
are. as Constable Walker and some of
the police are doing, to prophesy
whether they are going to take a slip
or not. This evil is becoming far too
fragrant for the persons involved and
their relatives at home, to go much
longer without a social wreck. What
Is needed is a crew OF detectives and
officers who by active measures will
remedy these dangerous slips. Until
these moral repairs are fully com.
pleted, the only safe remedy for
those who desire to protect their
standing in respectable society is to
keep in the middle of the road"

People at Buffalo Hunt and Indian
Celebration-Stage Robbery and
Parade of Indians.

Bliss, Okla, June 12-Fifty thou
sand people were entertained by Mil
Ter Brothers, at the 101 ranch Sun
day, the visit of the National Editorial
association to the ranch being made
the occasion for the buffalo hunt, a
buffalo dinner and an Indian celebra-
ton. The editors, many of whom were
accompanied by ladies', arrived on the
ranch at II o'clock over the Santa Fe
in special train.
The general public had been invited
to the entertainment. The Santa Fe
railroad, which runs through the
ranch, carried 10000 people to 101, and
as many more drove in to attend the
show. An immense grandstand extend
ing around the arena was built for the
visitors. The arena itself was half a
mile long and a third of a mile wide.
To handle the crowd required nearly
200 passenger coaches.
The Ponca and Otoe Indians, whose
lands are being allotted, had planned a
celebration to take place some time
during the spring, to which they ex-
pected to invite all the other Indians
in the territory to help them celebrate
the dissolution of their tribal territory.
This was arranged to take place at
the same time of the editors visit.
The ranch bought 35 head of buffalo
in Montana, and planned buffalo
chase by the Indians. Each one of the
special guests, and there were not less
than 1000, was served with a piece of
buffalo meat in connection with the
dinner. Besides the buffalo the pro-
gram included a wild west show with
roping and riding contests, Indian
dances, a stage robbery and a NINA
ture reproduction of the rush into the
Cherokee strip. The program also in
cluded a parade beginning with the
Indian, attired in paint and feathers
followed by the OK team and prairie
schooner, and ending with an automo
bile.

Improve Coast Defense.

The general staff of the U. S. army
has recommended the establishment of
a system of submarine defenses for the
coast. The plan has been approved by
Lieutenant General Chaffee and will be
by him submitted to congress.
This is one of the definite results of
the war in the far east, where torpedo
boats, both fixed and mobile, and sub
marine mines played such an import
ant part in the destruction of ships.
The new corps will embrace 5000
officers and men, who will be trained
in the specialized work of submarine
defense. 1t is proposed that members
of this corps shall not only have charge
of torpedo outfits and shore batteries
that will protect the mine fields, but
they shall be charged with the care
and operation of public plants, search
linghts and other accessories.
The estimed cost of equipping the
proposed submarine defense is $4,000.
900. This will provide for a feet OF
submarine torpedo boats for all the
principal harbors. searchlight equip.
ment, wireless telepgraphy outfits and
floating mines.
1t is expected that the navy will en-.
ter an objection to the plan that feei
of submarines be constructed for opera
ton by the army. There is much jeal
ously between the services over this
question and it is already apparent
that the scheme will not so through
without a fight.
