Col. "BiIl" zeveIey, the leading
lawyer of Indian Territory and
resident Of Muskogee. has many
clients and admirers among the
Creeks, Cherokees and other tribes.
The colonel is a staIwart, fine-look-
ing man. One day recently some
Indians visited Washington and
were taken to.the White House BY
Chief Porter. The Indians had a
short powwow with the president
and came away. What do you
think of him :" asked Chief Por-
ter as they were walking through
the White House grounds There
was no response for few mo-
ments. Then one Of the visiting
chiefs said: " I was disappointed.
/ expected to see a fne-lookiug
man like Col. Zeveley."

all of these people came from

a letter to a newspaper where he

Chickasha's Street Railway is Now
Assured Ten Miles Of Track to Be

That the promoters Of the elec.
trio street railway have been sue
cessful in disposing of bonds for
the purpose of building the road
was evidenced by the fact that to-
day the mortgage covering the
property proposed TO bebuilded was
filed for record in the clerk $
office.
The mortgage is for $I5o,ooo
and is quite lengthy affair. 1t was
ordered that it be rushed back as

would be forthcoming with which
to begin operations at once.
Further details of the transaction
are not yet known, but will be as
soon as Scott Jones returns, which
will be on Thursday.

ton. The list includes the names

President Roosevelt seems to have
antagonized the negros in his dis
charging the cOlored troops, but we
do not predict that 1t will In any
manner injure the republican party,
as 1t Is as natural for the negro to be
a republican as it is for him to be
black. They will fret and fume
around to some extent, but when a
general election rolls around they will
walk up to the polls and vote er
straight as they have been doing for
better than forty years. IL Roose-
velt's message, the part referring to
polygamy, is taken seriously it will
do the party more harm than the
negro question. Notwithstanding
Roosevelt sent Taft to Idaho some
weeks ago to pull the party out OF
the hole, yet he seems to think there
is something to the Mormon ques-
tlon and suggests some very stringent
laws for the control of polygamy. If
congress this winter would pass
some stringent law for the control of
polygamy or unlawful cohabitation
10 would eliminate the Mormon ques.

The presidents message to con-
gress is a voluminous document,
worthy of the most careful perusal
aud consideration. His recommended
lions are so in line with what the
democratic party-the Bryan democ-
racy--that 1t sounds good to the av-
erage democrat and no doubt much
better to them than it does to the
so-called leaders Of the republican
party. OF course the senators OF the
Platt, Aldrich and other trust SEN
tors will have to accept the message,
and in manner support the policies
outlined by the president, hut they
will do it with bad grace. With
the exception of his advocacy OF the
ship subsidy aud more elastic cur
rency-a currency which the bankers
can manipulate to better advantage
the entire address Is a mastery eff
fort, and will meet with the apprOv-
al of the masses Of the thinking
people.
