A Company Of Stillwater Men
'* Have Organized For That
Purpose
Some time ago several Stillwater
gentlemen mel and organized a com-
piny, the purpose of which was to
prospect for oil, Has, coal, or any other
substance that might assist in keeping
some well developed figures on the
credit side of their respective hank ac-
counts, and i|uietly went to work se-
curing leases on land, and at this time
the company has between three and
four thousand acres in the vicinity of
Stillwater. The farmers generally
^ have shown a disposition to lease wil-
lingly as lliey lose nothing by such
Mtion and may gain much. If their
land is not used for pros[>ecting pur-
poses within a stated period, the lease,
becomes void.
In the meantime a charter has been
•ecu red and the company incorporated
at $150,000, and a limited amount of
stock is now rea ly to be placed on the
market at ten cents on the dollar.
The company is compored of the fol-
lowing named citizens of Stillwater
and it is their intention to cooimeitce
boring in thirty days:
O. M. Eyler, president; S. A. Lcka,
vice president; F. K. Miller, secretary-
treasurer, and N. H. Reynolds,
general manager.
American Bar Association,
The American Hsr Association is
having its twentj-fourth annual meet-
ing at the Tabor Grand opera house,
Denver, Colorado, with a very large at-
tendance of members and spectators.
General Charles F. Manderson, of Neb-
raska, president of the association last
fear, introduced President Edmund
Wetmore. of New York, in a brief
speech. Welcoming addresses were
then given by IMat Rogers, for the
Colorado liar Association, and Hugh
Butler, forthe Denver Bar Association.
A brief response was made by Presi-
dent Wetmore, after which he deliver-
ed his annual address.
Secretary John Hlnkley announced
that the executive council had approv-
ed A, e ay 'locations of 184 new mem-
bers. representing twenty-one states
and territories. Of these, sixty-four
are from Colorado. They were de-
clared members of the association.
President Wetmore then announced
Committees to audit the treasurer's
report, on publication and on recep-
tion.
A memorial from the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition Company was read
inviting the association to meet in St.
Louis in 1903, and also to appoint a
committee of 100 lawyers from the
various states of the Union, and. if
thought advisable, from foreign coun-
tries, to formulate a plan fur a univers-
al law congress to be held as a feature
of the ex position. The memorial was
referred to a special committee. Sever-
al of the members spoke briefly indors-
ing the suggeston contained in the
memurial.
Iffv*s:
"Sow, therefore, I. William McKin-
ley, president of the United States, by
virtue of the authority invested in me
by said act, do I creby declare and
proclaim that such international exhib-
j ition will be opened in the city of St.
| Louis, in the state of Missouri, not 'a'
cr than the Ut day of May, 1903 and
be closed not later tlmi the 1st day of
December thereafter. And, in the
name of the government and of the
people of the United States, I do
hereby invito all the nations of the
earth to take part in the commemora-
tion of the purchase of the Louisiana
Territory, an event of great interest
to the United States, of abiding effect
on their development, by appointing
repiesentatives and sending such ex-
hibits to the Louisiana purchase ex-
position .is will most fitly and fully
illustrate their resources, their indus-
tries and their progress in civilization.
"In testimony where of, I have here-
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be aflited.
"Done at the city of Washington,
this aOth day of August, 1901. and of
the independence of the United States,
the 126th.
"William McKinley.
"By the President:
"John Hay, Secretary of State."
Another Disaster In The Cleveland

Fraud is Charged.
A dispatch from Washington to the
Kansas City Journal says:
In all probability the next few weeks
will develop something of a sensation
in connection with the allottment of
lands in the Kiowa and Commanche
reservation. Repeated complaints
have b-en made th it the work of al-
lotment had been characterized by
more or less irregularity. No positive
evidence has presented to locate the
blame. It is understood that the in-
terior department is now in poesession
of evidence which very clearly supports
at least one case of apparent fraud on
the part of the allotting work. From
this evidence it is apparent that some
of the Indians after selecting their
lands in a desirable location, where
thef"had made extensive improvements
found themselves located on remote
quarter lections on land which is
practically unfit for occupancy. This
was not discovered until they received
the certificate of their allottmenta with
a description of the property. Their
own improved lands were disposed of
in the drawing, and it is understood
that the allotting agent responsible
has since been employed in connection
with the lottery and the sale of town
lots.
From what can be learned of the
case the evidence is furnished by cred-
itable white witnesses and the whole
matter has been laid before the de-
partment by Major Randlett, the In-
dian agent. An investigation will
doubtless be ordered.
As the result of an explosion of gas
in the new water woi-ks tunnel under
Lake Erie at Cleveland, Ohio, Wednes-
day night, live more lives were edded
to the already long list of casualties
since work began on the great artificial
waterway.
Crib No. 3 five mi^es from shore and
two miles beyond crib No. where
nearly a dozen lives were lost a week
ago. was the scene of the latest acei
dent. The work of sinking the big
take-in shaft at this point was com-
pleted yesterday and five workmen
were engaged in digging a tunnel in
ihe direction of No. 2 crib, when the
fatal explosion occurred.
The heavy casing of the shaft was
shattered by the terrific force cf the
explosion and an immense volume of
water from the lake rushed iu on the
unfortunate workmen at the bottom.
Two men who were at work on staging
at the top of the shaft were blown high
into the air, but alighted on the crib
and. beyond being stunned, were not
seriously injured.
It is supposed that the men digging
struck a vein of gag which was ignited
by a spark made by a workman's pick.
Heavy iron girders and machinery
weighing more than a hundred tons
were forced out of the shaft by the ex-
plosion. The crib was wrecked.
Death must have been instantaneous
to the workmen in the tunnel, for
their comrades above beard no out-
cry.
So great was the destruction
wrought by the explosion that it w-il
probably lie weeks before the damage
can be repaired and the bodies of the
unfortunate workmen recovered.

Invites the World.
I'resident McKinley has issued the
following proclamation opening the
St. Louis Fair:
"Whereas, Notice has been given by
the Louisiana purchase exposition
commission, in accordance with the
provisions of section 0, of the act of
congress, approved March 8, 1001, en-
titled, 'An act to prhvije lor celebrat-
ing the lOOtli anniversary of the pur-
chase of the Louisiana Territory by
the United Mates by holding an inter-
national exhibition of arts, industries,
manufactures and the products of the
■oil, mine, forsst and sen, in the city of
tit. Louis, in .the state of Missouri,'
that provision has been made for
■round* and buildings for the uses
provided for in the laid act of con-
Stillwater, Okla-, U. S. A.
If we were to make the unqualified
statement that Stillwater has a manu-
factory whose products reach to Can-
ada no doubt there are people right
here in our midst who would absolute-
ly refuse to believe it. Yet, it's true.
J. W. Thatchcr, the inyentor and mak-
er of one of the best well drills on the
market has been very busy for the
past year supplying a demand . for
reaches over a wide expanse of terri-
tory. Hehasju>t made one which
goes to Canada, and expects to ship
one to Idaho in a few days. Mr. That-
cher makes his own drills and is kept
on the jump to keep up with his or-
ders.
Kid Patterson Discharged.
The case of "Kid" Patterson, charg-
ed with pointing a gun at and resisting
an officer at Ripley a few weeks Bgo,
was the attraction at the probate court
rooms today. A large number of per-
sons from Ripley were in attendance
as witnesses and spectators. The court
found, after considering the evidence,
that- there was not sufficient cause to
hold tfce young man so he was dis-
chargtif and cost of case entered up
•galniithe complaining witness.
Victim of Misplaced Confidence.
Quite a sensation prevailed in town
today for a time when it was learned
that one of our rising young business
inen of Jewish descent was the victim
of misplaced confidence last night.
He was making a call on a certain
married lady thinking that her hus-
band was in Perry, when his appear
ance disillusioned him. The shock
produced by the suddenness of the
husband's appearance was so grest
that, the young man who, by the way.
was up stairs, left the house by leap
ing off the upstairs porch. He lit on a
run and as he has not been seen since,
it is supposed he is still running.
First Load of Cotton.
Abercromoie A Miller this evening
purchased the first, load of cotton of
the season. R. C. Lewis living east of
Ripley had it in. We understand
there is a premium offered by the
merchants to an amount sufficient to
please Mr. Lewis and pay him well for
his efforts in being the early bird.

Chinese Hlwli Graves.
Chinamen, with all their faults, re
Vere the graves of their ancestors, and
there is no greater erinie than dese-
crating a gravyartl. Chinamen visit
the graves of their ancestors as often
as possible. At one time all the resting
places of the dead in China were flat.
Confucius, the w ise man of the empire,
going on a journey once, and desiring
«o know his mother's grave when re re-
turned, moved It into a mound. Some
believe that this net of the most re-
vered man in China was the origin of
high graves. Because graves are ever}"'
where in the empire, the first rnilroad
built there has to follow a very cir-
cuitous route in order to avoid them
—X. Y. Times.
