ANOTHER AMENDMENT.
Arkansas Senator Presents a
Land Grab Clause
Washington, D. C., Jan. 18.—Sena-
tor Berry, of Arkansas, today offered an
amendment to the statehood bill pro-
viding for the annexation by Arkansas
of that portion of the Indian Territory
lying and being situated between the
corporate limits of the Fort Smith and
Poteau rivers and extending up the
Po(eau River to Mill Creek.
Senator Stone, of Missouri, offered
an amendment removing all restric-
tions upon the alienation on alloted
lands in Oklahoma and Indian Terri-
tories, except on homesteads one year
or after the admission ol the territories
as states. The amendment further
provided that allotted lands shall re-
main non-taxable until alienated or for
two years after admission.
The senate today adopted the fol-
owing amendments to the statehood
bill providing for the holding of terms
of the United States District Courts in
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory.
"Terms of court shall be held at Mus-
kogee on the first Monday in January,
at South McAlester on the first Mon-
day in January and at Oklahoma City
on the first Monday in June." Sena-
tor Bailey attempted to secure an
amendment providing for the holding
of terms of court at Chickasea but the
amendment was rejected.
Capital Stock 50.000 Surplus and Profits, 73.000
The First National Bank of Pauls Valley solicits
accounts large and small and with its Capital stock
of $50,000, and surplus funds of $73,000, offers
to the public every facility consistent with safe and
prudent banking <s$3) (2§J3)
GOING AFTER A U. S. JUDGE
FLYNN HOPEFUL.
Dennis Flynn ex-delagate to con-
gress from Oklahoma and who has been
to Washington in the interest of the
statehood bill gave out the following
in an interview at Oklahoma City:
"It is my opinion, in spite of ad-
verse reports that we will get state-
hood. Both parties claim a majority,
and the adherents of the Hamilton bill
claim that statehood will be forthcom-
i n g, without the Arizona and
New Mexico provison, while the op-
position say we can't fePt it without it.
It is not a fight on amendments,
but simply a fight for a vote on the
measure before the Senate and that
seems to be probable about Feb. 1.
A vote has been asked for several
times, but has been denied.
"An effort is now being made to get
a date for a vote on the bill for Feb.jl.
or thereabouts, and out of all this shuf-
fle, I think statehood for the T enitoris
will come. The school land lessees'
preference right clause has been rein-
serted in the bill."
SOUTHERN APPRECIATION OF
THE PRESIDENT.
Birmingham, Ala.—Mayor William
Drennen, a life-long Democrat and
prominent in the councils of the party
in Alabama, speaks of President Roose-
velt as follows:
"We've got a man up yonder in
Washington that's president of all the
people all the time. I went to Wash-
ington last Tuesday night imagining
that President Roosevelt was a brusque,
abrupt, burly, strenuous, boisterous,
domineering personality—a sort of half
crank and half genius, a cross between
a broncho buster and a sword swallow-
er.
"I came back to Birmingham con-
vinced that there is not this round
world over a more gentle, refined, gra-
cious, winning,cordial,sympathetic,lova-
ble gentleman than the man who gree-
ted us last Friday at the White house.
"I believe that every one in our
paity who had the pleasure of meeting
the President left the White house
satisfied that the chief magistrate of
this country of ours is a great and good j
man. The feeling with all of us was
strong that he is one of the best and
greatest men who have yet held that
exalted office.
"President Roosevelt is manly
through and through. He is proud of
his country and of his countrymen.
Unless I miss my guess, he will grow
steadily in public estimation and will
leave the White house one of the
most deservedly admired Presidents we
have ever had."—Ex.

HOSEA TOWNSEND, Judge.
It is known by all laundrymen and
wash women that hard water ruins
clothes—same as rust does iron. All
city and country people should have
their clothes done by an Artesian
(soft) water laundry. See N. G.
Turner, the best and cheapest laundry-
man that ever came to Pauls Valley.
You will find A. J. Hallum in the
Brooks building one door north Jones
hardware store:
On account of the absence of the
rector, Rev. J. E. McGarvey who will
be in Lindsay Sunday Jan. 22nd to
fill an appointment, there will be no
services at the Episcopal church
this place on that date.
AN EXCITING EPISODE.
Tuesday afternoon a wood peddler
named Snyder had quite an exciting
little ride in his empty wood wagon
from the Steam laundry on Wall street
to the public scales on Main street.
His team became frightened and
started towards home at a pace not
calculated to insure safety to the oc-
cupant of the wagon. At the first
turn they ran into an empty wagon
standing by a hardware store breaking
the coupling pole. This checked them
slightly and the erst while driver
managed by zizzaging them across the
street obliquely, and by centering an
iron awning post by the grocery store
near the public scales to stop them.
The only damage done in any way was
to the wagon struck by the run-a-ways,
although there were several vehicles
and pedestrians on the streets at the
time.
TO THE PUBLIC.
I have fitted up a barber shop in
the building recently occupied by
Chas. Hoffman and respectfully solicit
a share of the public patronage. All
equipments are new and workmen as
at | good as can be found in Indian Terri-

C. B. Douglas Files Charges A=
gainst Judge Raymond
On the 14th of January Col. Clar-
ence Douglas, the able editor of the
Muskogee Phoenix, filed with the Atty.
General of the U. S. a bill of charges
which if proven to be true will un-
doubtedly result in his summary re-
moval by the President from office,
provided he does not resign in the
mean time. In the charges he is in-
dicted as a petty tyrant on the bench,
discourteous and insulting to the mem-
bers of the bar, and as a man totally de-
void of those finer sensibilities that go
to make up a gentleman. The char-
ges also lay many serious offenses at
his door which if sustained would land
him in that place to which he has con-
signed so many unfortunates.
The complaint contains letters from
the chairman of the republican com-
mittee for the Creek Nation, from S. M.
Rutherford, mayor of Muskogee, from
L. S. Fawcett Atty. at law, Holden-
ville, I. T.j from Chas. DeWaiterville
member of the republican executive
committee of the Indian Territory,
from Robert Toomer an attorney of
Muskogee, from Thos. Markham of
Muskogee a letter of specific charges;
all these and besides other articles of
impeachment against the judge \
request is made that an examiner be
sent to the Western District to exam-
ine into the charges and closes by ask-
ing that a copy of the same be served
on Judge Raymond and that an investi-
gation be made at an early date as
possible. We can not say as to the
truth of the charges made, but we do
know that the strongest feelings exist
in the bosoms of all lawyers of the
territory who have ever practiced be-
fore Judge Raymond as to his harsh
and unexampled treatment of the mem-
bers of the bar, litigants, witnesses and
every one else connected in any way
with the courts. A judge is invested
with very great powers and from this
very fact alone, if from no other, he
should be a man whose mental poise,
whose sense of justice and regard for
the rights and feelings of the humblest
citizens of the land, fit him to hold
such an exalted position. There is no
reason why any person under our
broad and enlightened system of gov-
ernment should be compelled to quake
and tremble when he enters, upon mat-
ters of business,or even of idle curiosity,
our temples of Justice.
