Two more stars We're added to the
nag by the Senate Tuesday, Okla
hOma and Indian Territory. joined.
We're admitted as one State. and New
Mexico as another. For a long time
it looked rs if there would be only one
more star, for New Mexico, after be-
ing admitted, was rejected. Then by
some skillful parliamentary practice
New Mexico was admitted again, and
as soon as the House cOncurs in the
bill as amended and the enabling act
takes effect there will be Al States
instead of 10. No action was taken
as to Arizona, which will remain IN
der territorial government for Il while.
After Arizona had been left out as
unworthy to enter the Union, preSum-
ably because of MOrmOnism and polyg-
amy within its borders. the Senate
passed the Statehood bill. The bill
admits Oklahoma and Indian Territory
under the name of Oklahoma 1t also
admits New Mexico. BY the terms Of
the bill the sale OF intOXica ting liquors
in Oklahoma is forbidden for y years.
Arizona has her wish and remains
territory instead Of being merged into
New Mexico.
There was no contest worthy the
nin.e over admitting Oklahoma with
tie Il dian Territory annexed, but over
IT, admission of New Mexico the
>;tglggle was long and fierce. 1t lasted
for nine hours and the end was reach
ed late this evening and then by the
close vote of 80 to SO in favor OF the
admission of the territory.
The fight on the admission of New
Mexico as a separate State came af-
ter New Mexico had been rejected.
Mr. Bard. whose amendments admit
ting New Mexico had been once ac-
cepted and once rejected. struck out
the first sentence. 50 rs to remove the
point Of order against il. and again
offered it. 1t was adopted. Mr.. kearns
OF Utah. who had first voted for the
amendment and then changed. caused
the rejection of New Mexico by Il tie
vote, voting no all the final ballot.

LOOKING FOR RED BRIDES.
Immense Dowrics Of Indians Send
White Men to Territory.


The white mans red brother is roll
ing in wealth. The Indian is rich. Can
you believe that hundreds of men, women
and children who We're living in tents
and huts six years ago out on the open
prairie are to-day receiving more money
than they know what to do with!
That is the condition in the northern
part Of the Cherokee and Usage nations
Six years ago their country was a huge
cattle range. Only q small per cent
Of the acreage was under cultivation. The
country was not prosperous. There We're
few men of means, aud they We're white
men who had married and had been
adopted into the tribes.
Tents, log houses and shacks were the
principal places of habitation. La six
years the tents and cabins have been
transformed into magnificent dwellings,
4 rubher-tired carriage and standard
bred horse have replaced the branded
cow pony. To his credit i'll the bank
the Indian has thousands of dollars.
To gain all this wealth he has not
performed one whit Of labor. His acres.
still uncultivated, are dotted with oil
we'll derricks. From his land into pipe
lines pours the wealtll-black crude oil.
10 calmly smokes on. does no work and
takes what is given him. Uncle Sam
does his thinking. Yankees make his
money.
As Il result of this influx OF wealth
into Indian Territory large numbers Of
young white men are coming here looking
for rich red brides. Some Of them are
meeting with success. but the majority
are finding that the young women will
give their affections to their tribesmen.
