NOT DEAD, BUT LIVING.

w. p. Hill, brother of presi-
dent Hill of the Theological Sem
mary of Berkley, CAL, died last
week in the Indian Territory.
He was a useful minister of the
gospel. He did a good work as
pastor and missionary and mod
orator of the Delaware Associa-
tions. His home was at Coweta,
l. T.
The above clipped from the
Word and Way was commented
on at length by Rev. Hill himself
who is now publishing the Bap-
tist Hustler at Coweta, 1. T. He
absolutely denies being dead or
even sleeping.
Rev. Hill was pastor of the
Baptist church here for several
years and has many friends here
who will be glad to learn that he
is is still alive in the land of the
living and enjoying good health.

Down at New Orleans they are
Offering $500 reward for female
stegomia, dead or alive. This
may be all right but as our prac-
tical eye has never been able to
detect the difference between a
lady and gentleman mosquito,
we are going to be forced to turn
down this proposition. And
again, we have too much respect
for the weaker sex to even con-
slider prosecuting even a lady
stegomia.

The South Town News says /:
"Thank the Lord, the tribal taxes
are abolished anyhow" How do
know they are abolished? 1t oc-
ours to the News that the very
fact of Congress giving the tribal
government another year of life
gives it the right to maintain it,
self through its former mode of
taxation. You had better get in
your work with your Congress-
man and have that resolution
amended by exempting the mer-
chants and cattlemen from such
tax.

TEACHERS ARE
MADE HAPPY
Great Strain Taken From Thousands
by Extension Of Tribal Gov
ernment Life.

Muskogee, l. T., March "A
great strain of suspense and
anxiety was taken from the minds
of thousands of teachers in In
dian Territory today and the tri-
bal chiefs and their people were
made happy when it was learned
that the tribal governments had
been given new lease of life to
extend indefinitely. By the
adoption of the Aldrich resolu-
ton this means that zoo schools
which were on the point of clos.
ing will continue to the end of
their terms and that the Indians
will be given plenty of time in
which to settle their affairs and to
dispose of their tribal property to
the satisfaction of all.
Superintendent Benedict this
evening posted notices for all
teachers in the nations to con-
tinue their schools. He is g. .eat-
lly pleased at the result of the
conference on the resolution and
feels that threatened calamity
to the cause of education has
heen averted.

A GLOOMY VIEW.

The Washington correspondents
to the Dallas News yesterday
gives rather gloomy view OF
Territory prospects for settlement
Of conditions here. He states
that since the resolution has
passed the house to continue the
tribal governments for a year
that the Curtis bill winding up
Indian affairs will probably be
laid to one side and no action
taken upon it this session.
This would be one of the great
est calamities that could possibly
befall this country, as we see it,
to continue our conditions for one
year more is simply an unbeara-
BILE condition. Hundreds of good
men have left this country for no
other reason than to escape from
these conditions, hundreds OF
acres Of land will lie idle this
year because those who rented
have become disgusted, and have
moved to a country where they
can acquire land. With another
year of such conditions and no
prospect of change, will almost
depopulate the agricultural part
of the State of its best citizens.
We can put up with having no
State, statehood is a minor inter-
est, but we just can't put up with
present conditions. Congress, if
it allows that bill to lay over and
not pass it this session, will COM
NIT one of the greatest sins,
against both the whites and the
Indians, that could be committed.
In Gods name, give the people
a show to help themselves.

DURANT, 1. T., MARCH 9, 1905
JAS. s. HoGG DEAD.

In the death OF James Stephen
Hogg, Ex-Governor Of Texas,
Texas has lost one of its best and
noblest sons.
No man who lived in the state
during the time of his political
ascendancy and knew the work
he did for the people, and the
enemies he made, can fail in his
heart from paying tribute to his
memory, and even his political
enemies now recognize the worth
of his ac's, while then he was
fought to a finish, their finish,
and among those who then fought
him they today are unknown out
side Of their own baliwicks.
HogG like Bryan was a great
commoner. He was for the peo-
pie first, last and all the time,
their wrongs were his wrongs and
their fights were mis- fights. And
when he went to the people they
were there to sustain and back
him in his acts; although nearly
every newspaper of note in the
state was fighting him, he won
when he went to them, for they
hal unlimited confidence in his
honesty and sound judgment.
And we can say here with all
due respect to the two Senators
from Texas, that had Gov. Hogg
ever made an attempt to go to the
Senate those old farmers who had
stood by him in so many fights,
would have come to his aid from
every nook and corner OF the
grand old state, and the man who
won would have known that there
had been fight.
During his administration the
Railroad Commission law was by
far the most important, of the
Others were the municipal bond
law: the railroad bond law; the
alie.. land law; and the law limit
ing the ownership of the land by
9 ,rporations, and they are all
now recognized as of inestimaole
worth to that state.
Texas has produced many men
of renown and among them, the
peer Of any, stood james s.
Hogg, his name and influence
will ever be recorded not only or
the pages of history but also II
the hearts of his countrymen
( f,r he was of the people and FOL
the people.

In all the larger cities the wholesale dealers have
adopted plans for trade extension, which. il seems
might be adapted to the retail trade in smaller cities
For example, in Oklahoma City the wholesale mer-
chants subscribe fund to pay the railroad fare Of
their customers the city, the arrangement being
when customer has bought goods to certain amount
from members Of the association he has his railroad

be adopted whereby large amount Of trade might be
brought to our retail merchants from dozen or

No One Can be Strong With Weak

The stomach is the handspring Of
life. When it is strong and acts
perfectly, then the whole system Is
right, assimilation is perfect, and
body and brain are thoroughly nour-

One may perhaps get temporary
relief from stomach troubles by us
ing pepsin, or some other digestant,
but this treatment has no curative ef-
feet. IT, does not reach the seat Of
the trouble and remove the cause.
How much better to use Mi-o-na,
which restores lost functions Of the
whole digestive system, reviyeg aag-
ging nutrition, and aids in the as-
sismiIation Of food.
Mi-o-na Is pleasant remedy to
use, and benefit IS seen from almost
the first days treatment. 1t restores
the torpid glands and stimulates the
natural digestive secretions. IT
checks fermentation, stops germ
growth, soothes Inflammation, and
cures all troubles, such as head-
aches, backaches, rheumatic pains,
furred tongue, sleepleEsness, nerv-
ousness, and general debility. which
are caused by imperfect digestion.
IT Is the only remedy that is SO uni-

GOOD FOR SMITH.

The saloons Of Moscow are making
a vigorous kick on the fact that liquors
are sold at the Elks Temple without a
license. We, the Mirrcr, can see no
reason why one man, company or cor
poration, OF society should pay license
to vend intoxicating drinks as bever-
age, and another go free. Use all
alike. The matter will at once be
brought 10 the attention Of the city
council.
It is matter Of general surprise
that this has not long ago been taken
up. Simply because in this particular
instance the proprietors Of this saloon
happens TO be big, popular secret
order should not carry exemptions,
special privileges or immunities. If
the Elks are in the saloon business,
and they are, they should pay the same
license that any other saloon pays, and
the Moscow Mirror deserves a whole
lot Of credit for saying so. And since
Editor Smith himself is a member OF
the lodge, he speaks authoritatively.
That the Elks, one OF the grandest fra
ternal orders in the world today, would
place itself in a position where such a
charge can tIuthlully be made, is too
bad, and certainly proves that the
Moscow lodge is controlled by men
who are little credit to an order found
ed Oh the noble principles underlying
the Eiks. II the Moscow Elks have
turned their beautiful temple into a
booze joint, TO their shame and dis
grace, let them do so, but in fairness
to other men in the same business,
compel them to pay tor the privilege.
