 Cecil Lyon. Republican nationa committeeman from Texas and John F McMurray. lawyer of Oklahoma wer. named by Senator Gore as the meI who held the contracts for the attoi neys fees of the sale of the India lands He charged that the paymen of these claims would be "steal from the Indians. Lyon and McMur ray. he asserted, had been in Wash ington during the winter lobbying fo the legalizing of the contracts.
 Repeated in the House.
 These charges were repeated in th, house when Murphy of Missouri, ans Carter of Oklahoma. attacked the Iegis 'ative proposition to legalize the Nc lsurray-Lyon contracts. Murphy flat Y charged an attempt to loot the seasdry of the five civilized tribes without rendering any service for ths money. He asserted that Lyon ant McMurray had lobbied for the legaliz ing of their contracts and had main tained others
 This Is most fragrant and out rageous steal that has ever attemptes In connection with Indian or other public lands" he declared. It appears that the five civilized tribes have g., 500000 acres of unallotted agricultural land valued at s10 an acre; 450,o ,o0C acres of coal lands valued at $50 to Sl60 an acre, and asphatum lands oi unnamed value which it Is desired sheall be placed on the market. The total value of these lands run from s50.000,0 900 to s100.0o00 000.
 Turned Down Once Before.
 McMurray and Lyon held some To-. 900 individual contracts with Indian claimants to land for ten per cent of the proceeds from the sale of these lands. About four years ago they had a similar contract with the five civil. ized tribes and President Roosevelt declined to accept 1t as valid con tract. Then they got individual con. tracts
 RcpISoShthllfc ldNuty I lTitu tO SSt the house to accept the conference report and failed. By a decisive vote the bill was sent back to conference that the objectionable substitute for the Gore provision should be stricken out and the provision be permitted to stand
 It is the contention of Senator Gore that congress alone approve the con tract. No distruct of the president is involved in the objection of con. gTessmen that he shaii approve the contracts but there is fear that the wording of the clause the president shall approve might be interpreted as being mandatory. Senator Gore did not call for any investigation of his charges and he refused to indicate whether he would take any further steps in the matter.

Carnival of Wickedness the Greatess Since the Bonanza Days Of the Com
 stock Lode 50 Years Aeo-Anti-Gan bling Laws In Effect h September.

Reno, New, June 28.--Not since the bonanza days of the Comstocks lode 50 years ago has Reno had such a Saturday night the smart little town which squats where the desert rises to meet the eastern foot of the Sierras took the stiff promo of the pulpit with its dizzy headache, and the dose was received with naughty wink, for Reno Is frankly proud of its. .dcvilish ness
 The Big time was on about o'clock when the last roulette wheel was in stalled In the Palace saloon, down acress the street from the depot. It will continue from now until tke day after the fight between Jeffries and Johnson. It will get bigger and bigger as the trains from the West and East dump more and more people out on the station platform Wickedness, as the pulpit construes the word. is going 10 blow up and bust right here in Reno. One last chance, one grand time.
 Here is the why and wherefore of it and you cannot understand just why Reno and all her divorcees are in for the last big fling at licensed joy, un- ashland and even proud in civic naughtiness. unless you know one or two facts. In the first place, the ring battle between two men trained to the highest excellence in crushing and crippling will be the last great fight in America.
 Nevada is the only state left which conferences prize fights of unlimited length and 1t is tacltly understood that after this affair of July the legisla. tHre is going to make Nevada sweet and good state by passing the same restrictions on boxing contests that all of the other states have on their statute books. There will be law hore as easy of strict Interpretation as the one which Gov Gillett of Califor- nia brushed off and set in the roadway of the promoters there.
 Then. on September 30. law pro hibiting gambling of any kind, which already has passed the legislature, will be operative. Nevada is the last state 10 prohibit public gambling. Nevada Is determined to be good. even If the last remnant of the old West. in which the Brooklyn and Westchester school of fiction writers find rich color has to go. So prize fighting is 10 be squelch- ed, and the roulette wheel, the dice box and the crap board with 1t.

PHEASANTS FOR ARKANSAS
Oklahoma Got Application in Ahead They Are Great Issect Exterminators.

E. V. Visart, the state game warden, is planning to furnish free to one or two farmers in each county of the state, enough Pheasant eggs to insure a good hatch. These eggs are to come from Japan, and will be ready for delivery sometime in July. The state of Oklahoma has placed an order for 20,000 of the eggs. That is the reason that the Ar kansas eggs will not be delivered until so late Tn the season.
 J. H. Hamilton has been cor responding with Mir. Visart about the eggs aud birds and Monday re- ceived letter stating that If any farmer wanted either eggs or birds aud was not lucky enough to get on the free delivery list, he could supply them at the follow ing prices: Eggs, $3 per dozen; one pair of birds, $7. 50, and extra hens at $ each. Anyone wish ing any eggs or birds should write to E. V. Visarr, State Game War den, Little Rock.
 A few dollars spent ou the Pheasants will be we'll spent be- cause as an insect exterminator they are unequaled. It is said that ten birds can do as much along that line ss a farm hand.

THE SAME OLD STORY
After Once Living in Polk County. No.
 where Else Looks Good.

J. w. Leeper was in town Wednes- day for lumber to go in his residence now being built on his farm west of town This residence will be of six rooms. planned for convenience and comfort. Carpenters Jennings and Mershon are doing the work. When the residence is completed large barn will be built at once.
 MT. Leeper is one of the many who have lived in Polk county for a while and gone away. only to find that no place seemed so good. He came here from Missouri, remained about seven years and got hungry for his old state and went back. A little more than a year was enough. The call of Polk county was in his system. and he came back. and now is contentedly at work building home where he plans to live and die.

CLOSED AMID GLOOM
USUAL SCENES OF HiLARlTY MIsa ING WHEN coNoREssloN-
 AL SESSION ENDED.
CORES CHARGES THE CAUSE
Mouse Omitted Giving the Speaker a Vote of Thanks-cIosine Hours of Senate Were About as UsuaI--Mn Taft Present.

Washington. June 2S.-The second session of the Sixty-fst congress passed into history under circum. stances long to be remembered. In the house there was no mirth mak. Ing nor songs nor rollickIng among the members on the floor, such as has heretofore enlivened the last half hour for . closing session. Instead, the rep ressntatiyes departed from the hall quietly and apparently profoundly un. der the pail cast upon the body earlier in the evening when the house passed a resolution directing an investigation of grave charges made against one of It's members by Senator Gore of Okla. homa in the senate.
 No Resolution of Thanks.
 Another unusual feature of the clos ing session of this house was the fail ure to present the usual resolutions of thanks to the speaker. This bit of courtesy has heretofore flowed from the minority But this year no reso- lution of thanks was presented and the knowing ones said 1t was due to desire to avoid precipitating the Issue of ~Cannonism- and still further dark ening the closing hosFs of the house.
 Speaker Cannon made 6 brief and felicitous speech before dismissing the members
 On the senate side of the capitol the scenes attending the getting away were more ardinary. But there also the sobering effect of the attempted bribery scandal was plainly in evi- dence.
 President Taft Was There.
 President Taft. accompanied by his secretary, Charles D. Norton. and sew eral members of his cabinet, came to the capitol an hour before adjourn ment and occupied the presidents room. Secretary Knox wandered onto the floor and renewed acquaintances with his colleagues. Secretary Mac Veagh fixed himself very comfortably in Senator Frye's vacant chair, i'm mediately in front of the vice-presi- listener to the proceedings.
 Very little business was transacted in the senate outside of that attending the passage of the resolution of in- quiry concerning the Gore charges. One grief executive session was held. a small batch of nominations came ia from the president, mostly post masters. and there were brief recesses to kill time until II o'clock the hour set for adjournment. should arrive. During these recesses Senator Depew. in evening dress. stood in the main aisle entertaining his colleagues with stories which helped somewhat to brighten the somber ending.
 Thanked the Senate Officers.
 Just before il o'clock Senator Shive- ly of Indiana submitted two resolu. tons. One of these, on behalf of the minority, conveyed the thanks of the senate to Senator Frye, president pro tenn, for the uniform courtesy and fair ness with which he had presided on occasions when the vice-president has been absent. The other resolution was addressed to Vjce-President Sherman, and commended him for fairness and 'ustness in administering the rules.
