OPPORTUNE DELAYS.

General Funston has been directed
not to hasten the evacuation of Vera
Cruz by American troops, because OF
delays which have arisen in the ar
rangements for the transfer of the
customs house there to Mexican au-
thority.
The United States has been collect
ing the customs at Vera Cruz. and is
holding the proceeds for the Mexican
government, to which it will render a
full accounting. Naturally the work
of checking up business of this char
acter, and getting everything in read
mess for the formal transfer, is one
requiring some time, and in the pro-
gress Of which delays are to be expect
ed.
The delays just quoted have come
opportunely at time when there is a
reopening of the question whether or
not Mexico has a government, or is
likely to have in the near future, and
who is running it.
We have no doubt that if the new
reVOluIlOn IN MeXlCO COnllnueS, tllu
the fighting which has been resumed
spreads to other portions of the ter
ritory, there will be still other delays
in the customs house transfer, making 6
it inadvisable to proceed further for
a time with the preparation for the
removal of troops.
Really, there is no special urgency
for the. removal of those troops. They
are doing no harm. They are not
threatening any one. incidentally,
they have brought about much better
conditions in Vera Cruz than prevailed
there before they took possession.
The city is being well governed by To-
cal officials, under the protection of
American troops. Everything is or
derly. People are secure in their
homes. and business is unmolested.
Our troops are not in Vera Cruz to
stay. but it is to be hoped that Incl
dental delays of various kinds will
arise to postpone their departure un-
til we have better assurance than we
have Just now that there is really a
prospect for government in Mexic

That an aeroplane passed over the

the report brought here by q
number of threshing crews along

The aviator was flying at a

robbing him of $40. 1t appears that
Anderson who had been working
around the country drifted into town

was purchasing the stuff from q boot

Northern train four miles west Of Mi

The four robbers had boarded the
train with the harvest hands, after

result that Wilson was shot. He was

POOR TASTE, ANYWAY.

We have just received from Wash

communication from the office of In

return card Department of the Inte-
Nior, Office Of Indian Affairs" on one
corner, and or the other the official

The envelope contained two docu-
ments, one being copy of resolu-
ton unanimously adopted by the
Creek council of Indians, consisting
or more than one hundred members" !"
at their recent session at Okmulgee,
Oklahoma, and the other the reprint
of an editorial from an Iowa newspa-
per. The resolution is really worth
reproducing Here it is:
"Realizing that we have in the per-
son of our present honorable commits
sioner of Indian affairs one Of Amer
ica's foremost statesmen. a man of
unusual ability and of untiring ener-
gy who has consecrated his heart and
dedicated his soul to the best interests
of the Indians of America, and real
izing that within the short period of
time that he has served as commits
sioner OF Indian affairs he has done
more to bring about spirit of friend
ly cooperation and better feeling and
more thorough understanding be-
tween The Indians and remaining citi-
zensk.p of Oklahoma than has ever
before existed and realizing that
through his personal efforts he has
done SO much to inspire the Indians
of Oklahoma to attain a higher STAN
dard of moral and social conditions,
safe guarding at all times. as he has,
our property rights and especially the
property rights and moral and. social
welfare OF our minor children.
Now, therefore. be it resolved, that

Devils Lake 500 Depot Uets Burglars
a Good Haul.
Devils Lake, n. D.. Sept. 29.-About
$3.50 was taken when the safe at the
500 depot was robbed, s190 of this
being cash and the remainder in bank
drafts and checks. AS vet there are
no suspects, but the job was quite
neatly done and was evidently the
work of experts. 1t is a puzzle as to
Just how the thieves got in. The 500
depot is. Of course. advantageously
situated for a night robbery. as it is
on the outskirts and closed at night.
There is no one there after Agent
kaufman finishes his work. which was
about $3.50 o'clock. Probably some
one had a pass KEY to the building.
At any rate they got into the office by
breaking the window at the ticket
counter and entered the safe without
blowing it. For all their trouble they
will not have much available money,
as $500 was in bank drafts and one
check for $25 was a 500 brakeman's
