Plans for the Divisions.

The most important question that
will arise at this reunion will be the
amalgamation Of the two divisions
There Is a general sentiment fayorng
the amalgamation, and this will be
done II there are enough delegates
present from Oklahoma 10 Justify the
important move. At least, the matter
will be discussed at this reunion and
II the two do not join their forces
AZ this reunion the matter will be
carried out at the reunion Of both ter
ritQries 10 be. held in l.awton In Sep
tenber All the Confederates here IA
yor the plan and there Is general
sentiment toward retaining John l..
Gait. major general OF Indian Terri.
tory, as major general OF the new
state OF Oklahoma. General Gait is a
resident OF Ardmore and In the en-
| tire Southland there Is no one more
devoted TO the interests of the old
soldiers. He Is a man who is generally
known throughout the territory and
he possesses the executive ability OF
| a born leader. In case this program
is carried out the United Sons of Con
| federate Veterans will also amalgam-
| ate their organizations and will I'm
turn give their head Office, division
commander, 10 Oklahoma. This honor
will naturally fall upon General Brant
Kirk, now commander of the Oklaho
ma division. Oklahoma has not as
many Sons as some Of the othC'
states but the present commando ir
chief gives Oklahoma credit for hay
ing the best organized division n tho
South. This state oi affairs Is due al
rectly TO the unt.ring work Of Brgni

FOUND BONES OF
MEN LONG DEAD
IN DIGGING GROUND FOR CELLAR
JAS. 7. Haynes Discovers Parts of
Two Human Skeletons
Looking For Others.

J. H. Hit, laborer engaged on
the work of excavatng for new
house to be erected by Jas. I.
Hanes, at 307 South Second street,
yesterday made a find that is of
great interest, and which may cad to
other and more extensive relics of
the remote past. He had cleared
away the loose earth, about two feet
in depth, and got down to rock bed,
when his spade turned over some
thing that looked marveously like a
human bone. Investigation disclos-
ed a skui. and several bones, one of
which is petrified. 1t appears to
have been shaped, probably for use
as an awl or bodkin
Mr.. Haines states that several of
the ribs do not appear to beong to
the skeleton of which the skull, pei
Wis and other parts were found. They
are muchs smaller, and clearly diff
ferent This leads to the conclusion
that there were two or more per-
sons, probably Indians. who were
originally buried there The skull
was in fair state of preservation,
and does not appear to have been
injured by blow previous to the
death of the person.
There is of course, no way of de-
termining the date of the death of
the person or persons, unless the
psychological expert of the evening
paper can recall some instance of
tie past and connect them with it.
but it is pretty certain that genera
tons have passed since these two
died. Great care will be taken in
the removal of the stone and dirt
from the spot, and if any more bones
are found, they will also be preserv-
ed

WORST FORM OF TORMENT.
Indigestion Makes Life Miserable. How
ii Cure 1t.

There Is no need of telling a person
with stomach trouble that indigestion
makes life miserable. The burning
and gnawing feeling in the stomach.
the sick and nervous headaches. the
sleeplessness. general debility, aching
back, specks before the eyes. and the
nervousness. irritability and despond-
ency that come from indigestion,
make life torment.
Happily a physicians prescription
stomach tablets, is now for sole by
Fred L. Janeck, who recommends 1t as
an absolute and complete cure for in
digestion and all stomach Ill. Mi-o-na
is not temporary relief or a mere d.
gestive. Take one of the little tablets
before meals for a few days and the
digestive organs will be so toned and
strengthened that you will be able to
eat anything intended for food with
out fear of indigestion and distress.
Mi-o-na is so universally successful
in curing all forms OF stomach weak
nesses that Fred L. Janeck gives a
signed guarantee with each soc box
that your money will be refunded un-
less the remedy gives you satisfaction
This certainly shows his strong faith
In the medicine. Many of his custom
ers have used 1t with the greatest sue
cess and praise 1t highly as the only
cure they have ever found for stom-
ach troubles. w-t-s-eod.

NO EXCUSE FOR THAW.

The talk about the murder OF
Stanford White continues enormous
in volume, but not particularly pro-
cressiye. When the average talker
has relieved his mind OF everything
he can think Of at one time on the
prevailing topic. he goes on TO ADMIT
that there is still rs much as ever
to be said Talk inevitably turns
npon Whites morael character the
old saw says, Give a dog bau
name and hang him. In Mi. " hlte ;
case the process has been reversed,
and the killing being Already done
the adjustment Of his reputation 10
that fact has proceeded with I'M
mense industry II it could be es-
tablished that White was moral
monster and absolutely unfit TO i've,
If would not excuse Thaw for shoot
ing him, defenseless, unwarned and
in cold blood, but doubtless il would
mitigate Thaw's offense in the eyes
of a jury. So far as has yet appear
ed Thaw's only claim upon jury :
sympathy will he this claim that
White was monster and an outlaw.
How such a claim can be established
in a trial in which Thaw. not White,
is the accused does not appear, but
the work of establishing it in ne
newspapers is comparativey easy and
is going on fast.
OF course this process Of post
mortem defamation is exceedingly
unjust I'd Whites memory That
his reputation was very vulnerable
everybody knows. but, such as 1t
was. it is not having fair chance.
The man was a very complex person.
If judgment be passed on him it
should be based on facts. all thefacts,
and not on rumor and hearsay What
was good should be known and con-
sidered as well as what was bad.
That any such consideration can be
given him. or any just and rounded
estimate of his character reached
seems very unlikely But this much
at least every fairminded spectator
may do He may remember that
White man perfectly careless OF
his reputation vas one about
whom all manner of gossip naturally
clustered and for one sin that he did
he doubtless was credited with a
dozen. and all of them blacker than
their original That is why, whe-
the sophisticated moralist says j
himself that Stanford White ''got
what was coming to him." he goes on
to say, But that is not nearly all
of the story. "-Harper's Weekly.

The music at the fair this year has
not only given general satisfaction
but has been highly complimented
by people from the larger cities. 1t
is gratifying to the boys that their
work is appreciated, for they have
worked hard and against great odds.
No encouragement is given them in
the way of support and the organi-
cation must rely upon the pockets
of the members for money with
which to defray the expenses Incl
dent to band of twenty pieces. The
fair management is to be congratu-
ated upon their judgment in invit-
ing the home band to furnish the
music for the week and it is to be
hoped that generously inclined
public will see that the organization
is properly supported the coming
season in order that the city may
have band that will be the equal
of any in the state. North Yakima
