BEGIN TOWNSHIP WORK.
The Indian Inspector Orders the
Townsite Commission TO Meet.

]. George Wright, Indian inspector,
has ordered all townsite commissions
to begin today on the work of town
sites in the five civilized that are I'M
der government supervision. The ap-
preparation Of $4,000 made for town
site purposes by the last congress is
now available. In the Creek and
Seminole nations the work is finished
except in Boynton. In the Cherokee
nation eleven towns have not been
plated appraised and scheduled. In
the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
the towns all have been plated, but
Haileyvllle and Krebs have been or
dered reappraised.
In each nation there has been a
separate townslte commission. In all
299 government townsites in Indian
Territory have been handled by the
government through the Office Of the
inspector here. 1t will take three
years from July to finish all the town
site business as the payments on town
lots are made in four equal annual in
stallments, the first one in advance.

SEPARATE STATEHOOD.


NAMED in the senate. Two weeks ago
he made the following statement to me;
II authorize you to publicly announce
that will bring up the statehood bin
early is the long session and press it to a
vote, il the present bill fails. You will
get statehood practically as soon from the
next congress as you will il this congress
passes it. The bill will provide for two
states out Of the four territories and it
will pass. We will have the votes to car
ry it. But above everything else dismiss
from your mind that separate statehood
nonsense. There are many men here
who will resist that proposition to the
very last extremity, and you know what
that means
In the light of all these facts the honest
people who are starting separate state
hood agitation in the territory, it seems
to me, are allowing their stubbornness to
run away with their judgment. And
while it may be an insult to many good
people to suggest it, can't help feeling
that some other folks favor such move
ment with full realization that it is the
only way the present conditions may be
prolonged. HENRY z. ROBBINS.

THE MARRIAGE QUESTION.

The professor who announced that "lo-c

wedding bells,D was the FIRST TO start the
ball rolling. 1t would seem brave woman
who narries with this echo in her ears, yet
we have not heard that there were fewer
marriages during the year There are ur-
happy married lives, but large PERCENTAGE
of these unhappy homes are due to the i'll
ness of the wife, mother OF daughter.
During a long period of practice, Doctor
Pierce found that a prescription made up
entirely of roots and herbs, without the use
OF alcohol, cured ninety-eight per cent. of
such cases. After using this remedy for
