THRIVING MENA SCHOOL.
Years of Successful Work at St. Jo-
 seph's Academy.

The continual increase of new pupils and the permanency ot the old from year to year at this well known academy is convincing proof that it ever maintains its wei. deserved reputation as school of first rank.
 Each recurring term seems 10 bring it into greater prominence and popularity with the people, and the present term IS no excep- tion, for although but three weeks have elapsed since the opening, already oyer one-hundred pupils have enrolled and many others are to enter next week.
 The grades, which number eleven this year, are well filled with bright, interesting boys and girls. The work of each and all is most satisfactory, the deport- meut, application and attendance being all that could be desired.
 Physical culture has been in- troduced into the junior classes with great success, and the more advanced classes have the adyan- tage of music-t theory and sight sluging-two lessons a week, free of charge. The music depart meut of the academy has always been well patronized, but never before in it's history has the num- Der of pupils been so many, both for instrumental music and voice culture, and new applications are being continually made for this special branch.
 Among the boarding students the following are from outside the city: Misses Nell Yong gher md Lillian Collarhide, Foreman, l Ark; Nellie Mason, Greenwood, Ark; Olive and Josie Nichols, Shreveport, La; May White. Sanderson, Tex; and Tom and Clarence Wright, Texarkaua, Ark.

HORSE THIEVES
 IN OKLAHOMA
Sheriff of Muskogee Has POS Notices Posted of Horses Stolen in Past Two Weeks Headquarters in
 Choctaw Nation.

Muskogee, Okla., Sept. 2S.- Such a wave of the crime of horse stealing as is now sweeping over parts of Oklahoma has not been known since the days when this country was considered the nat ural mecca for outlaws of all kinds.
 Today the Sheriff of Muskogee county posted on the walls of his office the reward cards he has re- ceived from people who have had horses stolen. They cover nearly one entire side of the room. These cards represent POS horses stolen and they have all been received within the past two weeks. The horses are easily worth S25, GOO and the tota, rewards offered amount to S2,000.
 Sheriff Ramsay has been mak- ing a study of the situation for several weeks and hopes to devise some plan to break up the wholesale thefts. He has already located one gang that operates uear the town of Warner, and Is laying traps 10 catch the thieves, but it appears that they have lu- timidated the people of that section who are nut in league with them and they will not fur. nish any information whatever relative to the outlaws.
 The horses a-e usually stolen three or four at time and taken into some remote hiding place where they are kept until it IS deemed safe to bring them out and offer them for sale. Or scouts are sent out to fud if reward IS offered for the return of the horses, and if 1t is a good one the thieves themselves see that the horses are returned and they col ect the reward. Such a system as this is hard to break up.
 There seems to be perfectly organized line of thieves and an excellent "fence" running down from Muskogee southeast down into the mountains of the Choc- taw nation. There the thieves boldly defy the officers who find 1t impossible to corner or capture them.
 From counties in Oklahoma punches of horses are stolen and run hundred miles into the re- cesses of the Kiamachi mountains where it is impossible for the officers to follow or drive the thieves out. From this section the horses can easily be taken across Red river into Texas. or across the line into Arkansas and disposed of.
 Out of the great number of re- ward cards at the sheriff's office, there are but three but what came from Oklahoma. There is one from Kansas, one from Miss. ouri and one from Arkansas.
