Death Of President Quintana, of Ar.

Death Of President Quintana, of Ar.
gentine Republic, Was Not Unex-
pected.
BUENOS AYRES, March 12.-Dr
Manuel Quintana, President of the Ar
gentine Republic, died yesterday OF
catarrhal pneumonia. The end was
somewhat sudden, although President
Quintana has been i'll for some time.
He had grown very feeble, and was
not strong enough to leave the city
for his country home. Between 2 and
o'clock this morning the public was
permitted to view the remains, and
there is general mourning every
where throughout the Republic.
DR.. Quintana was II years DID, and
for many years had been regarded as
one of the ablest lawyers of his coun-
try. He was a prominent figure in
National politics from early life.
Vice President Alcorta, the new
recently announced that he
would make no change in the Minis
try during the Presidents illness. He
is in thorough sympathy with the pol
icy of his two predecessors, and is
very popular in the country.

Not only was every seat of the First
Methodist Church filled to hear DR..
Ira Landrith speak on Civic Right
eOusness Sunday night, but many
were standing in the rear of the
church unable to get seats, and many
others were standing in the vesti-
bules.
Rev. w. A. Provine presided over
the meeting, and the services were
opened with feeling, stirring prayer
by Rev. Spencer Tunnel.
DR.. Landrith's subject, Civic Right
eousness" had special reference to
the evils growing out of the liquor
traffic, and ably did he handle it. He
said the remark was frequently made
that the preacher should stay out of
.sClltics. This idea was erroneous
they, Of Gil men, are compelled to get
into politics when any great moral
idea is at stake. 1t is the man who
buys votes, the man who corrupts the
ballot who should stay out of politics
Any evil influence such as the saloon
should stay out of politics. The. men
who train with the whiskey seller
should stay out of politics. The poll
tician, who accepts favors from the
saloon keeper, and looks to the sa-
loon influence for his election should
be put out of politics.
He said the saloons should not on
ly be put out of existence because of
the distress and want and misery it
entails upon it's habitues, their child
rem and their children's children, but
it should be put out of existence for
political reasons. 1t is the leader of
all bad politics. The foster father of
bad men, boodlers, grafters, betrayers
of public confidence.
He told little story to illustrate
the want wrought by the saloon. A
child in rags met a well dressed child
child of a whiskey seller-on the
treets and said: | wish | could wear
pretty clothes like yours" The child
of the liquor dealer replied; "Oh,your
clothes are in the beer barrel" This
is true; that many childs, many a
wifes or mothers clothes are in the
beer barrel.

INDIANS WILL

WICkLIFFE OUTLAWS ARE ON
THE WARPATH IN THE CHER
OkEE NATION.

VINITA, I. T., March 12.-Heavily
armed officers late today were arriv
ing from all parts of the Territory en-
route to the scene, twenty-five miles
southeast of Vinita, near Kansas, in
the Cherokee Nation, where the Wick
life outlaws killed three Deputy Mar
shals on Sunday night One deputy
escaped and at last reports the out
laws were still battling with the two
remaining officers. Because of the
bitterly cold weather and the noun
famous country the officers may not
be able to organize their forces for an
attack before tomorrow. According
to the report received here the full
blood Indians are going to the sup
port of the Wickliffes, who are Cher
okee Indians.
The ambush laid by the Wickliffes
for the six deputies on Sunday night
was cIeverly planned, and the officers
were led, into it unsuspectingly and
were fired upon without warning. The
deputies fought desperately, and for
a time escape for any of them seem
ed impossible.
/. T. Gilstrap, of Kansas, Otis Tut
tie, of Vinita, and Richard Carey, of
Hahlequah, l. T., were killed Thos
Wofford, who escaped, carried the
news to Tahlequah today, and Marshal
L. Daraugh issued orders to rush ev-
cry Deputy Marshal in the Northern
District of the Indian Territory to the
scene.
The six Deputy Marshals were am
pushed last night while hunting the
Wickliffes for the murder of Deputy
Vier. The horses of the Deputies
were shot from under them, and Dep
uties Gilstrap, futile and Carey were
killed outright. The other three
sought shelter behind some rocks;
one of em-Wofford-was sent back
on foot to Tahlequah for reinforce
ments. When he left the others were
holding the Indians at bay.
