Begiebing Family to Leave Town.

People from this side of the town
learn with regret of the removal of
Hugo Begiebing and family from town.
It is understood that they are to go
back to Adams, from which place they
came ten years ago. During their stay
here they have won the respect and
admiration of the townspeople and they
will be greatly missed. Three of the
young people of this family, Carrie,
Ammiel and Hugo, composed the Be
.geibing orchestra, which has fur
nished music for most of the dances
in the surrounding towns for the past
five years. All the family have been
active in church and social affairs, and
active members of the Grange, Miss
Carrie being its present secretary. She
is also the guardian of the Camp Fire
girls in Jacksonville and has taught
successfully several terms of school in
town.

facts:

2. The Young Mems Christian AS

afternoon, which was held up between
here and Marietta, on account of a
new break in the embankment. This
train arrived here at 2:30 p. NJ. and
returned south, as No. II, on time,
at 4:27.
The first train over the Santa Fe
north since Thursday afternoon was
made up here last night and went
through the flooded district. The first
train from the north arrived last night
and it was announced by the Santa Fe
Offices last night that the company ex-
poets to resume regular service today.
The Rock Island sent out no trains
from this city yesterday. One of its
trains is marooned between Randolph
and Mannsvile, and water is running
three feet over the bridge that spans
the Washita river near there. Repairs
can not be made until the water re-
cedes, and yesterday the flow was
practically at a standstill, with over
two feet still flowing over the bridge.
The Frisco and Ringing roads are
both operating trains on schedule
time. It was reported that the Frisco
had a slight washout near Francis
but nothing of a serious nature.
Any predictions the local officials
might make, they stated, would be
mere guesswork. The company was
doing its best to make repairs and
resume traffic as soon as possible.
Further than that, they could give
out nothing definite.
It is hard to estimate the property
damage to the railroads in this sec
tion. One piece of track about 200
yards in length near Daugherty will
have to be piled throughout, and this
will take some time.

MEAN OFFICE BUILDING.

3. A. Simpson of this city and j.
r. Cottingham of Oklahoma City
closed a deal yesterday for the pllr-
chase of the two one-stOry buildings
located on the south side of Main
street at the corner of Main and \,
which are just across the street east
of the Guaranty State bank, The
buildings We're the property Of c. p.
VanDenberg of this city, and his
brother, who is a non-res dent. The
lots purchased front 30 feet On Main
and run back 120 feet or ! street,
and are improved by twJ one-otOry
buildings, one of which is occupied by
Bulard's iewelry store and The other
is occupied by J. R. Dexter, the Chick
asaw Title company, and others. The
price paid was $4,000, the price per
front foot being $40.
When seen yesterday, Mr.. Simpson
confirmed the report of the purchase
but did not authorize any statement
as to what disposition he would make
of the property. 1t looks, however,
as though there is race on for the
construction of modern office build
ing in the city. II was reported Friday
that an option had been taken by
Kansas City parties on the Mullen
property, corner Main and Washing
ton, and if that sale is consummated,
an office building is to be constructed
on that site. 1t is believed by Mr..
simpsons friends that it is his in
tention to begin, within a short time,
the erection of a modern office build
ing, probably six stories in height,
on his property.
There has been a sharp demand
for such a building in Ardmore for
several months, and it is stated that
structure of this kind could have
every office taken by the time the
foundation is laid for the construction
work.
Mr. Simpson stated that 50-foot
front was not a site large enough for
modern office building. and the
property may be held as it is at
present.

CONGRESSMAN HARRISON STILL
FIGHTING PER CAPITA PAY
MSNT - INDIAN BILL DOES
AWAY WITH RED TAPE.

The Ardmoreite received yesterday
a wire from Washington which should
have reached us Friday, but was de-
layed en- account of washouts. The
house committee on Indian affairs
passed favorably several items in the
Indian appropriation bill. Among
those fagOrably passed were all the
administration items of the Five Civ
ilized Tribes. The part of the bill
approved carries an appropriation of
S275, 900 for the aid of Oklahoma
schools in Indian Territory in lieu
of the money the schools should re-
ceive from taxes on Indian lands. The
bill also has a provision to pay all
contract and tribal schools for the
current year and also for the next
scholastic year beginning next Sep
tember This provision of the bill
was also approved
Another provision OF the bill was
approved that will be of interest to
farmers and stock raisers and goes
long way toward taking red tape
out of the affairs of the tribes. This
provision provides that agricultural
and grazing leases may be approved
by the superintendent of the tribes
at Muskogee, without having to go to
the secretary of the interior at Wash
ington for his approval That pro-
vision seems to be based upon good
reason as the Indian office at MuskO-
gee ought to be better equipped to
deal with such matters than the Of
ficials in Washington, who are so far
removed from the locality where the
leasing is done
Congressman Harrison of Mississip-
pi, who is fighting the per capita
payment provision of the bill in the
interest of Indians still residing in
Mississippi. has asked of the commit
tee that he be permitted to speak on
the per capita payment amendment,
and for that reason Congressman Car
ter from this district made the re-
quest that the item be passed over
until Monday. and made the further
request that he and Congressman Fer
ris, Hastings and Thompson be given
the privilege Of replying to the re-
marks of Congressman Harrison. Mr..
Carter is watching very closely this
provision of the bill, and he feels
confident of winning before the COM
mittee and also before the house,
when the bill is reported and comes
to a vote.
