CERTAIN HOMESTEADERS ARE GIVEN
UNTIL JULY I, I90I.
The Guthrie Capital, in speaking
on this question, says:
The local land office received a
circular of instructions from the
department at Washington, granting
in certain cases an extension of
time till July i, 1901, for making
final proof and payment on home-
ctt*r> He
From former letters, written by
the commissioner, Hon. Binger
Herrmann, the impression was felt
that certain homesteaders would be
granted ten years in which to prove
up. By these placed at July i,
1901, the instructions are as follows:
Department of the Interior,
General Land Office,
Washington, D.C., June 28, 1900.
Registers and Receivers, United
States Land Offices.
Gentlemen:
Your attention is called to that
portion of the act of May 31, 1900,
(Public No. 134), entitled "An act
making appropriation for the cur-
rent and contingent expenses of the
Indian department and for fulfilling
treaty stipulations with various In-
dian tribes for the fiscal year end-
ing June 30, 1901, and for other
purposes," which reads as follows:
That the settlers who purchased
with the condition annexed of
actual settlement on all ceded Indian
reservations be, and are hereby
granted an extension to July 1, 1901,
in which to make payments now
provided by law.
As proof and payment must be
made at the same time an extension
of time for making payment in-
volves a corresponding time within
which proof and payment are to be
made in case where, under former
acts, such payments will not become
due until after July 1, 1901.
This act extends the time for
making final proof, and payment of
final commission, on the lands
affected by the act of May 17, 1900,
(circular June 5, 1900), where such
payment becomes due prior to July
1, 1901. Very respectfully,
Binger Hermann,
Approved, Commissioner.
A. E. Hitchcock, Secretary.
bill. At the '96 convention which
nominated Bryan Jones was elected
chairman of the national Demo
cratic committee and is still chair-
man, with fine prospects for re-
election if he wants to serve again.
During his absence in Europe, ex
Gov. Wm. J. Stone, of Missouri,
acted as chairman. Take Jones'
bond bill and Phelps' recent expo-
sure of Stone as a lobbyist, and it
seems to us such of our Populisl
brethren as have faith in the "new"
Democracy must begin to have their
doubls.—Missouri World.
CONGRESSIONAL MATERIAL.
In order that the people of
Cleveland county may know in
what condition the Democratic
party in the territory is in for con-
gressional material, we clip the
following from the Perry Sentinel:
"Mr. L. P. Ross is and always
has been a Democrat who never
wavered in his allegiance to the
party. He is a splendid organizer,
an unexcelled campaigner, and a
fighter who never quits until the
polls are closed, the ballots counted
and the result declared. In the
past he has been honored by his
party with many places of trust
and confidence, among which are
councilman, chairman of the terri
torial committee, member of the
apportionment board, and register
of the land office at Oklahoma City,
Mr. Ross has a host of friends and
admirers in Oklahoma, and espec-
ially is this true of the Strip on ac-
count of the fair representation
which that section secured in.the
legislature, mainly through his in-
strumentality as a member of the
apportionment board, and other
valuable services he rendered the
Strip during the period immediately
preceding and succeeding the open
ing. It is predicted that the entire
Strip will go to the Oklahoma City
convention demanding his nomina-
tion, and if this demand is success
ful, well informed Democrats say
that he will turn this so-called Flynn
stronghold into a veritable Demo
cratic Gibralter next November."
ROUGH RIDEKS' REUNION.
gov. roosevelt, op new york, in
attendance.
The Rough Riders' Reunion was the
big attraction for the week, and
nearly every one in Cleveland county
was at Oklahoma City, at least one
of the days of the reunion. Tuesday
was the big day, Gov. Teddy Roose
velt being the strong drawing card
that day. R. J. Morgan, agent at
Norman, sold on Tuesday over 1,000
tickets. Most of the farmers of
A GLORIOUS FOURTH.
The people of Cleveland county
enjoyed a glorious 4th of July.
About 10 o'clock in the morning
it began to pour down rain and it
kept at it with short intermissions
until 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
making a rainfall of from two to

three inches. It came just in the , liV .
nick of time tc save many of the
corn fields from serious injury. The
cotton plant was also beginning to
need rain. A good corn crop is
now assured and another rain in
two weeks will make a heavy yield

handle the crowd; but 011 last Tues-
day they did not have enough of

narrow and the park too small, and in
fact, everything, including the sa-
loons, were too small to accommodate

CHAIRMAN JONES.
' J. K. Jones, of Arkansas,
national chairman of the Democratic
party, is much in evidence now.
His praises are being sung in the
Democratic papers. It should not
be forgotten that Jones introduced

I by the cheering of those that could
to lend dignity to the occasion.
The welcome address of Gov. Barnes
of Gov. Roosevelt to the territory and
of Mayor Van Winkle to the city, were
very fine, but the effect of the same
were somewhat marred by the
speakers attempting to deliver them
in full to a crowd that was impatient
to hear and see "Teddy." Gov.
Roosevelt's address was brief and to

The editor of the Pen >les Voice
seems to draw all of the Democratic
lire in this county and all because he
is attempting to disrupt the Peoples
party in the county by his unwise
course. Now Peoples party men all
know, as a matter of fact, that the
Democrats in this county are anxious
to see the Peoples party ticket win
and they are going to burst their
suspender buttons off assisting all
they can to make it win and this ex-
plains why Allan is the main target
for their guns and interviews of
bursted pop-guns "who used to vote
the Populist ticket'' so they say, with-
out giving' their name. Why the
names are not given we cannot say,
unless it be that before coming to
this county they were Republicans or
Pops and don't want this fact known
where they are battling for a Demo-
cratic nomination. We know as a
matter of fact that there are a num-
ber of such men seeking a democratic
nomination in this county and who
have served as Democratic officials,
who never were identified with the
Democratic party until they took up
their residence here. They are now
as wide mouthed democrats as Tom
Jarboe or Willard Hess, and with just
as much saw dust where men are sup-
posed to have brains. If the inter-
view published in last weeks Dem-
ocratic-Topic, is not a fake, every
Peoples party man in the county
knows the "well known businessman''
referred to in interview, for he has
been a candidate for a nomination
before the last three Populists coun-
ty conventions, with his home delega-
tion against him in every convention,
and since the last convention, if there
has been a stone left unturned, that
he could turn over, to wreck the Peo-
ples party in this county, he has not
found it yet; but he seems to be dili-
gently searching for it with friend
Jarboe'h assistance. At the present
time they seem to want to turn Allan
over to see how he look's 011 the other
side and to see what effect it might
have 011 the Peoples party in the
county. Of course, they would not
want to turn him over unless they
thought such action would materially
strengthen the Peoples party in this
county. They are such patriots that
we really believe they would go with-
out coffee for breakfast if they
thought by so doing it would insure
the election of the entire Peoples
party ticket in the county this fall,
for democrats though they be, they
are not dead to the beneficial results
to the tax payers, that followed the
election of Peoples party officials in
181)4. While the Peoples partymen in
thecounty deeply appreciate the great
interest taken by the Democrat-Topic
in the wellfare and success of the Peo-
ples party in Cleveland county and
trust that such interest taken
prompted by a smitten conscience for
crimes committed by the Democratic
party 011 the tax payersof this county;
yet the Democrat-Topic must, in view
of its past record, pardon Peoples
party men if they should not see
things as it does, or remove obstruc-
tions, that it in its' diligence and
zeal has discovered, lie in the path-
way of Peoples party success this
fall. In the past some of the Peoples
party men have been caught by wolves
in sheep's clothing; but their sense of
smell is now more acute and the inter-
views published in the Democrat-
Topic emit a very wolfish smell.
A WORD PROM RUBY MOSS.
From the University News-Letter.
The following is an extract from a
letter written by a former University
student, Ruby Moss, who is with the
American army in the Philippines:
"Of course, during the rainy season
it is not pleasant, but I do not know
of any place where it is pleasant
while it is raining. As for the Fili-
pinos governing themselves, 1 do not
think it is possible. A few of them
are well educated and are capable of
self-government, but they are so few
compared with the vast horde that
is not much above savages, that self-
government is an impossibility.
"It is not safe to go alone in the
outskirts of Manila, for they are li-
able to bolo you. They have 110 educa-
tion, but very few of them can read
and write.
"They are 110 better than our
American Indians and it seems that
A FORGER CAUGRT.
Last Friday Henry ilelbert, who
used to cook in Brown's short order
house in this city; but lately has been
cooking for S. H. Gilmore's threshing
crew, came to town and succeeded in
passing 011 a uumber of merchants,
checks for various amounts he had
signed S. B. Gilmor's name to. He
would go into a store purchase a
small bill of goods and present a check
for several times the amount and the
merchant would take the check and
pay the difference. It all worked
very smoothe until Russell vV Co. re-
ceived a check, and not having the
money in the drawer, they went to
the store of Phelps & Winans, who
had just a short time previous cashed
a like check. They began to think
everything was not alright and com-
menced making investigation, finding
out later that the checks were forged.
The fellow, in the meantime, had left
town, but later he was captured in
Oklahoma City and Sheriff Newblock
landed him in the county jail last
Saturday afternoon.
On Sunday morning, Isabelle,
a fellow who had been hanging around
town for a few days, went into
Brown's short order house, and while
settling with one of the little girls in
the restaurant for something he had
purchased, snatched a $5 bill out of
her pocketbook and ran out the front
door and back through hallway be-
tween buildings. The officers were
called at once and soon the city mar-
seal and Sheriff Newblock and his
deputies were out in search of the
fellow. Sheriff Newblock and City
Marshal Haynes went north to Moore
and found that such a man as they
described had passed through Moore
going north only a short time before
their arrival. They got a fresh team
at Moore and overtook their man
aliout four miles north of that place.
He is now in the county jail and the
preliminary trial of both men is set
for next Monday.

PROMISE.
Last winter while teaching school
in Shawnee, Prof. K. W. Johnson had
some trouble over whipping one of
his scholars and J. B. .Jacobs, candi-
date for Democratic territorial com-
mitteeman, took occassion to roast
Prof. Johnson very severely through
his paper. Prof. Johnson informed
Jacobs that he could do nothing for
him while in Shawnee, but very re-
ligiously promised him a good sound
whipping the first time he met him
outside of Shawnee. Last Friday he
met Jacobs in Oklahoma City as Ja-
cobs was passing through 011 his way
to Kansas City. Prof. Johnson at once
shed his coat and gave Jacobs a good
sound whipping and he left for Kan- I
sas City bearing the marks. Fortu- |
nately for Prof. Johnson, the keys of 1
the city had been turned over to him I =
and this key saved him from paying a '
fine.
STELLA ITEMS.
Stella, Okla., July 3. Andy Thomp-
son, J. B. Starnes and John Navy
were in Norman Friday.
Uncle Jack Wilson and daughter,
Miss Laura, spent Tuesday and
Wednesday in Shawnee, the guests of
relatives.
Ii. Jackson was out in this vicinity
last week soliciting the support of the
people for sheriff.
Mrs. C. W. Wilson, of Shawnee, is
visiting friends and relatives in this
vicinity this week.
Quite a number from this place at-
tended the Rough Riders' reunion at
Oklahoma City this week.
The following members of Stella |
Camp No. 33, W.O.W., assisted in the
unveiling at Shawnee last Sunday: A.
V. Ilulse, J. B. Starnes, C. W. Der- j

Our postoffice fight is yet in an un- J
settled condition. Two petitions have
been circulated, one for the removal j
of the office from its present location
and the other opposing its removal.
We are informed that about seventy
names had been secured as opposed to
removal. Just how many were in
favor of removal we have not learned,
but think the number small.
