PLANNING TO STOP
COINAGE OF GOLD
VIII Result in Saving Of 100000 to
s5ooooo Yearly in Mint
Expenses.

Washington, D. c., Sept S--Coinage
|of gold in the United States will be
suspended for an indefinite period If
plans now forming in the treasury de-
partment are adopted. The idea is to
tissue gold certificates fer all gold bull
/ lion a--d foreign coin turned into the
mints, instead of coming them into
eagles and double eagles. 1t is un-
derstood that Treasurer McClung in
his annual report will endorse the plan,
which was originated by A! Platt An
W eeFetaa i.y of the the
treasury, when he was director of the
mint
Two reasons for such a step are
pointed out. The first is to save from
100000 to 100000 year in mint ex-
penses. The second is to stop coming
gold at the expense Of the United
States for the convenience of foreign
money markets, which use it for the
settlement of commercial balances
The rate at which American-eoined
gold is exported is well illustrated by
the situation which now eonfronts the
treasury. In spite of the fact that
more than $11 900 900 in gold was coin
ed during August, the mint at Denver
will be started up next week to turn
out gold coins at the rate of $4,000
day, the Philadelphia mint will start
coming gold in October, and the San
Francisco mint is now making eagles
at the rate of 100000 a day.

BIG WILD WEST SHOW

Jones Bros. Buffalo Ranch Wild
West paid Vinita a first visit today
and, it is said, those who attended the
show we're satisfied with the perform
ance given. The show travels on it's
own special train Of 6O-foot cars and
arrived from Parsons, Kan, at day
break today. The work of unloading
was soon over and the tents were
pitched on the ball grounds.
The parade was given this morning
and it proved very attractive one.
Two bands of music and big steam
calliope furnished the music
The opening performance of the
day was given in the annex or side
show andwas pleasing. The piece de
resistance there is the girl who floats
in the air and she floats in the manner
advertised. The big show perform-
ance opened at 2:15 and the program
was long and varied one. The wild
west acts were good and the Japan
ese troupe was the best even seen
here. The Japs perform some wonder
full feats.
All in ali, the show is good, clean
and moral, as well as being entertain
ing and instructive.

MORE INDIANS TO
ATTEND SCHOOL
Five Tribes Respond AnxiousIy to
Opportunity to Attend
Haskell.

Muskoge OKLA, Sept S.-Never in
the history Of educational work among
the Indians has there been such an
exodus of Indian children to non-res-
ervation schools as are leaving East
ern Oklahoma this week. Two hundred
and ninety-two Indians are entering
school this year at the Haskell insti-
tute near Lawrence, Kan, among them
being Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws,
Seminoles and some OF them members
Of the Snake clan of the Creeks.
Ninety-iive per cent Of them are full
bloods, and all are members of the
Five Civilized Tribes.
The largest number of Indians to
lgo at one time before to non-reser-
walton school was several years ago
when eighty Sioux were sent from
Montana to Carlisle. The Sioux had to
be coaxed and cajoled into going to
Carlisle and many superintendents in
the Indian service spent months induc-
ling them to give up their blankets and
go where they could receive modern
Ieducation.
This is not 80 with the Eastern Ok
|lahoma Indians All are going Of their
own free will In fact they are all vol
unteers. When the Indian office sent
word among the five tribes that those
Indians who lived in fullblood districts
where the land was non-taxabIe and
there were no state schools. would be
taken in charge by the government and
given the same consideration as other
Indian children on reservations, there
was at once an appeal to permit them
to go. Applications began to pour into
the office of Superintendent Oscar
Lipps until there were 300 on file.
Seventy-five Cherokees left Table

Lipps, and the remaining per cent
are of more than half Indian blood.

SHERMAN NOT OISMAYED
BY OKLAHOMA HEAT WAVE

El Reno, Okla, Sept. 3.-lf Friday
wasn't the climax of the heat wave in
this territory Vice-President Sherman
and the members Of his party face
something tomorrow in Oklahoma City
that appals the mind. Just how hot it
was Friday end last night seems a
matter of mems belief in their individ-
ual thermometers. These instruments
ranged all the way from 100 to 1O6 de-
grees.
Yet the heat failed utterly in keep
ing away those who wished to hear the
vice-president speak. The Ell Reno
opera house Friday night was filled to
the last seat In the auditorium and the
stage held as many as there was space,
while hundreds were turned away from
the doors unable to gain entrance. Mr..
Sherman drove home the tenets Of the
republican party in vigorous fashion,
though late in the afternoon he was af-
fected by the heat and kept to his
room for several hours. Preceding him
were: ]. McNeal, republican candidate
for governor, and Congressman Dick
Morgan, who is seeking reelection.
Mr. Sherman Friday afternoon was
taken aboard prairie rowing automo-
bile and driven to two interesting
points. The first was old Fort Reno,
established about 1S4S by General Re.
no. The fort now is used by the gov
|ernment as cavalry remount and
training station. 1t is believed by the
El Reno people that it will be enlarged
greatly in the near future. The vice
president spoke few words to the
|cavalrymen and then was taken a
short distance further to Darlington,
to which attaches early memories OF
the territory. Darlington was founded
as an Indian school about 1866 by a
Philadelphian whose name it bears.
Shortly afterward the government
took charge and for years conducted
the school. Recently the school was
moved elsewhere and the building and
grounds were purchased by the Ma
sonic order as a home for orphans and
INDECENT Preceding the trip to the
old fort and the school there was a
receptio at the Elks club house and
the vic ..ident shook hands with
several hundred men and women. Mr.
Sherman went to Oklahoma City this
morning. An elaborate program has
been arranged. The stay in the Okla
homa metropolis will continue until
Sunday forenoon, when Mr.. Sherman
will leave for his home in Utica.
