Townships on Account of The
Oliphant Bill Being Killed.
P«yne county baa had lot* of fun
•ince it was organized. When the Sac

to lettlenient there wag a atrip of
ground attached to Payne county.
This did not meet the approval of the
boji and Frank Hutto was Rent to
Congress am! Populist Peffer, senator
from Kansas had the lines changed
back and at the opening of the strip
fi e townships were added by the act
of Congress. The people of Perry com
menced work to cabbage Rock and Wal
nut townships and drafted a memorial
at the fifth legislative assembly to be
sent to Congress to add the above
townships to Noble county.
The memorial passed the house over
the objections of the democratic repre-
sentative, Ed Clark, and was killed in
the council by the republican repre-
sentative, Frank Hutto. At the present
•ession, Republican OlipLant, of Noble
county introduced in the house a bill
entitled, "an act to change the bound-
ary lines between tho counties of Payne
and Noble." The bill was called up
yesterday and killed through the efforts
of Representative Matthews, the pop-
ulist member, assisted by the Grand
Old Party Norris, who is a professional
colored lobbyist of Payne county.
All the taxpayers of Payne county as
well as the republicans will rejoice that
the negro townships still belong to
Payne county.
Democratic Mayor Lytton received a
message from Republican Norris last
evening that th- bill was killed

Mr. Stevens cited the statutes where
it says that superintendents shall not
receive more tban $1,000 per year This
statute does not affect cities of the!

a question asking for the amount paid
to city superintendents.

Mr. Allen said he introduced tho bill
by request and was sure it was a go.d

native wines from selling it to young

H. B. No. 21, by Mr. Oliphant, an act
to change the boundary lines between
the counties of Payne and Noble. Mr.
Oliphant said he was not ready at this
time to go before the committee of the
whole. He said he wanted to know
whether the legislature had power to - was tost After n t .

matter be posto,„ed f.„ . commeded thaTudo pass ""
In the council yesterday it as eX
pected that the public building bill
would be a part of the morning h„si-
r"Utto "e disappiii tment of its
friend , it was decided that it would be
called up untiil next Saturdav. The
opposition to that measure tha. has
crop ed out quite profusely be'ore the
b was introduced is fast disappear-
ing, nnd it is the prevailing opinion
among senators that tf e bil has a

Senator Coulson, in response to a call
for resolutions, sai I in the early days
of this session I introduced a resolution
asking for a committ e or three to
draft a memorial to congress demand

matter be postponed for a few days.
Mr James Mathews said that Mr. Oli-
phant had plenty of time during the
past two weeks to get all the informa-
tion he needed. He also made a mo-
tion that the bill should at once be
considered. It was decided to call up
the bill to-day The bill wax killed.
H. B. No. 35, Mr. Van Kirk, relating
to a rise in the salaries ol county su
perintendent was debated by a num-
ber of gentlemen and finally passed the
committee of the whole.
Mr. Hadley moved that the cnacting
clause be stricken out, but failed to
make a connection. He said he started
out to save the people ..f his district
unnecessary expense, and he was going
to do it to the best of his ability. He
thought the superintendents were get-
ting all the salary the law allowed
them, and it was sufficier ir all prac-
tical purposes
Mr. Sniggs said the laborer is worthy
of his hire, and he knows from personal
observation that the county superin-
tendents are among the poorer paid
class of officials. They are under a
great deal of expense and they do a
powerful lot of good.
Mr. Van Kirk said the hardest worked
man in the county is tile county super-
intendent. He visits all the schools,
instructs the teachers, and is contin-
ually on the go Make his pay equal
to that of the superintendents of the
city schools.
Mr See ley is srill in favor of re-
trenchment. If he had his way, there
would be no county superintendents.
He lids no use for nor place to put
them. They ar- sopposed to visit ail
of the county schools, and instruct the
teachers. The Logan county gentle-
man does not do this, and he is in fa-
vor of abolishing the othce altogether.
Mr. Nesbit said that h was aware of
the fact that the superintendents
wanted higher wages, but his people
instructed him on that point and he
was not in favor of voting for any more
raises.
Mr. Campbell made a strong talk for
the bill. He said in part:
Me ought lobe fair in educational
matters. Education is the s..f gourd
of the territory. Til- otlice of counts
superintended is a very imponaiit ..no
