amendment of the remonstrance provis-

remonstrances being against individuals,
must be repeated so frequently that the
liquor interests are able to wear out the

commended that the law be amended 80

Governor says, twill strike directly at
the traffic, and not at the individual"
That is what the law really means.

TO DEVELOP MINES.
The United States Promoting and
Manufacturing Company Active
In Gwendale Vicinity.

Gwendale, I. T,-The long hoped for
development of the iron mines at this
point, on the Wolf place, has reached a
Crisis at last. For nearly two years
the interior department held back or
or delayed the approval of the leases
made to Wr. C.. III. Hallett, and when
the Government was ready to treat
with Mr.. Hallett some difficulty arose
and the delay was continued until the
present. But now it is highly probable
that the United States promoting COM
pany will take hold Of the proposition
and push it to successful issue. The
company is capitalized at $l,0O0,O0O,0O0
and will erect its smelters and steel
structural works at Tnlsa, where they
have been offered gas at one cent and
a half per thousand feet for fuel pur
poses. The manufacture of steel will
be pursued on original lines, no coke or
limestone being required in smelling
operations. This new process is an in
vention owned by the company and
means the production of steel at min
imum cost. The company is indepen-
dent Of the trust and will remain so.
Also they will manufacture new
steel rail patent that combines in itself
advantages far surprising the old steel
rail. They have orders far ahead for
the new rail and will begin operations
as regards mining as soon as the neces-
sary approval of leases can be obtained
from the secretary of the interior. 1t
is intended to take out about 1000 tons
of raw ore daily from the Gwendale
mines.

One MAN DELAYS
indian PAYMENT.
~,
Indian Agent Kelsey Trying To
Locate A Missing
Delaware.

Muskogee, I. THE per capita pay
ment to the Delaware Indians which
was ordered several months ago, has
been delayed for two months by the
failure of those who are proving the
roll to locate two citizens of the tribe
who should share in the payment. One
of these was found few weeks ago,
and now the forces of the Indian agen.
cy are exerting every effort to learn
something of the only man who stands
between the Delawares and their
money. Indian Agent Kelsey has as
yet been unable to learn whether the
missing Indian is dead or alive and If
alive, where he is residing. However,
Mr.. Kelsey believes that the man will
be found within the next few days and
then payment will begin.
About 1,500 Delaware Indians are
entitled to share in the payment, and
it is necessary to make up an APPROX
ed list of every one of them before the
payment can begin. Any member OF
the Delaware tribe alive in October,
1904 when the Delaware council agreed
to the act of congress granting the
payment, is entitled to share equally
in the disbursement. The task Of
who was alive and who was dead at
that date, and the location of all eligi-
able Delawares has proved a stupend-
Gus one and the payment has been de-
layed several months.

WHISLEY CAUSES TERRIBLE CRIME.
Walter Copeland Deliberately Shoots
A Little Girl Near Ada. Little
Girl may Die.

Ada, I. Tn the little town of Cent
er, ten miles west of here, little 13 year
old orphaned Thedie Jones lies in n
dying condition with gaping bullet
wound through her chest. Young
Walter Copeland of that community is
is in the Ada Jail charged with the
atrocious shooting. He is twenty years
old.
The story as told by number Of eye
witnesses is one of unutterable cruelty
and wantoness; the awful act seems
more like the inexplicible savagery Of
mad man than that of sane person.
1t seems that Copeland with two
companions had returned from the
"Corner"-the rendezvous of the con-
nivivally inclined-with liberal sup
ply Of whiskey, however, they were not
in an intoxicated condition. He pro-
ceeded to terroiZe the town by riding
the main street on the quiet Sabbath
afternoon and discharged at random
his Colts forty five. AS he neared
the Jones home horse hitched at the
gate became excited at the din and
Miss Thedie caught hold Of the animal
AS Copeland was passing the ladies of
the house cried to him not to shoot any
more, wherepon he fired one shot i'll
the air and then another at the crouch
ing form of the child, taking effect as
above stated.

LOOKING FOR SALOON SITE.
Brewery Agents Busy In Indian
Territory Towns.

Muskogee, /. T.-An agent Of the
Anheuser Busch Brewing Company is
in Muskogee and it is said that he is
looking after the interests of his COM
pany with the intentions Of getting op-
tions on good business properties where
saloons or Wholesale liquor houses
might be located in case the new state
is admitted without prohibition
clause. Within the fast few weeks
agents of different brewing companies
have been visiting the newer towns OF
the territory and securing options .on
lots where saloon buildings may be
located. 1t is understood that several
buildings have been erected in Mus
kogee for the sole purpose of usiug
them for the liquor business and that
one man at least has the agency OF a
large brewing company and is holding
it in the event of prohibition being be-
ing defeated. A number Of corner
rooms which are now being used for
other classes of business, ore said to be
held in reserve for other brewing COM
panies.
There seems to be general impress
sion among the brewing interests that
prohibition will be defeated in the new
state. If this proves true the liquor
interests will reap a harvest in the Sec
ton of the state now embraced in the
Indian Territory, on account of the
very rigid laws against introducing and
selling liquor which have been in force
in the territory for years.

Worse Than Bullets.

when Sheridan decided to go in on
Early at Cedar Creek said an old vet
cram. my brigade advanced in the open
over a meadow. The enemy held the or
chard and the dooryard surrounding a
farm house, and we advanced straight
upon them. They found themselves out

and there they made a desperate stand.
When we reached the house 1 simply

"a minute later a circus began. There
were six hives of bees under the trees,
and all of them had been pierced by
bullets. 1t was summer time, and all
the insects were fighting mad in no time

were virtually stampeded. The bees gave
