Guthrie, Okla, June r4.-State-
ments made by Governor Frantz,
indicating that districting work will
be short and that matters will be
pushed rapidly.
The sentiment isIto have Oklaho-
ma congressman in their seats be-
fore congress adjourns in March
1907 and at the smallest estimate
the constitution will have been
adopted, congressman elected and
Oklahoma declared a state by Feb.
1. 1907. 1t will probably be inn
possible to go on so short a schud-
ule however.
Al the longest possible time tax
ing the maximum time limit allow
ed, Oklahoma will be declared a
state by July 1907. I3 months.
With the signing of the state
hood bill by President Roosevelt,
the work of apportioning districts
for the election of delegates to
the constitional convention will be
launched.
Six months will be allowed
Governor Frantz, Chief Justice
Burford and Secretary Charles Fill
son to divide Oklahoma into 55 dis
tricts, SO with the Usage Nation,
and with population apportioned
as nearly equal as possible.
In Indian Territory, Hon. Tams
Bixby of the Five Tribes, and two
jadges to be appointed by the pres
ident, will apportion the districts.
They will appoint the election
judges in Indian Territory and the
governor. the chief justice and the
secretary tor Oklahoma,
While six months is allowed for
the work of districting, il is believ-
ed that this will be accomplished
in a much shorter time in Oklaho-
ma. Governor Frantz said yester-
day that Oklahoma is practically
ready for districting now and that
it will be matter of weeks rather
than months.
While the absence of former
elections will make the districting
more difficult in Indian Territory, |
it is positive that it will be done in
considerably less than six months. |
Extreme estimates have il that the
delegate election viii be held In
November.
When the question of districts is
settled, notice of the election of del
egates must be published at least
10 days before the election
is held.
Following the election the con-
stitutional convention will assemble
in Guthrie on the second Tuesday
after The election not counting elec-
ton day if that falls on Tuesday.

PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Suggestion
Made.

A. B. CA drafted man or his sub
stitute, who was enrolled to serve three
years and who served not less than TWO
years. or was discharged by reason of
wounds received in line of duty before
two years service, is entitled to SlOO
bounty under the act of March 3, 1858.
B. F. L., Bancroft, Iowa.--If you are
now in receipt of a pension of $50 per
month for disease contracted in service,
and you are not so disabled as to require
the frequent and periodical attendance
of another person, II is doubtful wheth-
er you will be successful with your
claim. The attendance that you appear
to require is merely precautionary.
which does not bring you, as we under
stand your case. within the purview OF
the act of July IA, 1892.
"~Adjutant. New York.-Question: At
our Post meeting last evening there was
novel pension case under discussion.
and as there was such a diversity of
opinions. l was requested to ask The
National Tribune to set us right. One
of our comrades is pensioned at $40 per
month, under the old law, for loss of
toes of right foot. Recently, in moving
building, his leg was injured so that
it was necessary to amputate his leg
Just below the knee. Now. some con-
tend that as our comrade has lost his
disabled foot he is no longer entitled to
his pension, for the reason that his dis
ability has ceased to exist. Others con-
tend that the loss of his foot makes no
difference, and that he is entitled TO his
pension just the same as though he had
not lost his foot. Set us right
Answer-The comrade will not be
deprived of his pension on account of
the amputation of his injured foot. We
would suggest that he file an applica-
ton for pension under the act of June
81, 1890, as he is in all probability now
entitled to s12 per month under tEat
act, provided the loss of his leg was not
the result OF vicious habits.

MISSOURI ENROLLED MILITIA.
Troops Organized to Keep Pence Within

Editor National Tribune: VIII you
please state when and under whose au-
thority the Enrolled Missouri Militia
was organized; also, whether 1t is a
pensionab;e service ?-H. p. j., Cairo,
Mo.
The conditions that existed in Mis-
souri, in 1861 were peculiar. There
were two Governments striving for su-
premacy; one maintaining allegiance to
the Union, the other to the Confederate
States.
On account of these exceptional con-
ditions, the people were formed into
hostile factions. and this resulted in
| many perplexities in the organization
Of the military forces of the State for
home protection and for the service of
the General Government.
There were in 1851 and 1862 numer-
Gus bands of guerrillas In the State, en-
gagged in robbing and numbering peace
able citizens for no reason except that
| they were loyal to the u. S. Govern
| ment. For the purpose of furnishing
these crimes and breaking up such
bands, Brig. John M. Schofield,
| then in command Of the Missouri State
| Militia and Of the United States troops
Of that district organized the Enrolled
Missouri Militia" in the Summer of
| 1862, under the authority of H. r. Gam
| BILE, Governor of the State.
The above conditions resulted in
| much trouble and misunderstanding as
to the status of the various commands
| and their relation to the State and to
The United States Government.
On July %. 1862, an order was issued
| for every able-bodied man to report
| without delay to the nearest military
post for duty, bringing with him such
arms as he could procure and a horse.

for. compliance with this order.
On Nov. Z, 1862, an order was issued
stating that any person failing to enroll
after he had been notified would be
subject TO a fine Of SO. and would be
liable to Imprisonment until the fine
| was paid and he was duly enrolled
Under these conditions IT different
