'I’he Commission will be made out
and ’signed tomorrow and official-
ly given to the public in the after-
noon.
Early this nalYiijig Delegate
Flynn, accompanied by the dele-
gation from the territory, went to
the white house in accordance
with arrangements made last Sat-
urday for their reception by the
president. Although a large num-
ber of senators ami members of
congress were already there wait-
ing to see t he president, the dele-
gation was not kept waiting long.
. As si Kin as tl/e president was in-
formed «f their arrival he gave in-
structions to admit them to his
private office. As the Oklahoma
delegation tiled iu Secretary
Hitchcock entered from • another
dour. After a few moments con-
versation with the president on
departmental business Secretary
Hitcbdoek started to leave. The
president requested him, however,
to remain, statin- that ^lie Okla-
homa delegation had called on a
matter which came under his de-
partment. Secretary Hitchcock
said he had met most of the dele-
gation mid presumed they had
called to discuss the governorship.
President McKinley then open-
ed the conversation with the
announcement:
A\ ell gentlemen, I understand
you desire a change in the gover-
nor of your territory.”
To this every member of the
delegation nodded his assent.
"Have you agreed on any man
who is entirely satisfactory to you
all? ' The president inquired.
“There are throe candidates for
the office-now in the city,” said
Delegate Flynn, “the appointment
of any one of i\ liicdi would be satis-
factory to the republican organiza-
tion of the territory, and would
. receive the hearty support of
every republican in the territory.
I believe they ire William M.
Jenkins, Joseph W. McNeal and
Felix Winkler.”

RAILROAD RUMBLE.
Oklahoma City capitalists are
trying to sell bonds for the pro-
mised Southwestern railroad and
will probably succeed. The peo-
ple'of that city have donated $25,-
000 for the purchase of right of
way to the Kiowa-Coinanehe bor-
der. The road may cross the river
near Unioii City or east of that,
point. If it does, there will be a
new town south of Yukon that will
gobble up much of our’trade Why
nut get, to work and have the road
parallel the Choctaw as far as El
Reno?
The Alva Review gives this news:
The Rock Island has graded
some ten miles on the section line
running west from Enid. It will
pass a little south of Lahoma and
west to Ringwood, then south or
southwest. Theyr are said to be
working night and day.
The Frisco is grading west of
Enid and will parallel the Rock
Island for some distance in Woods
county and about eight miles south
of that road. The Frisco is re-

I he trial -consumed neift'ly
people it will be necessary to put

charge of the town’s affairs.
We believe it would be good
policy to select some of the heavy
taxpayers as trustees, as their own
interests are closely allied with the
interests of the town. Wo want
an impartial police magistrate, a
competent clerk and a fearless mar-
shal. To.economize, it might be
well to have the marshal attend fo
the’duties of the street commis-
sioner.
Another thing: we don’t think
the saloon license should lie made
unreasonably high. It, is not a
question of whether the liquor
business is right or wrong—if it
is wrong, m> amoun.t of license
would make it right—but merely
a business proposition. Two hun-
dred dollars a year, .payable $50
at the beginning of each quarter,
would yield the town $800 from
the four saloons. This would em-
ploy a marshal, build a calaboose
and partially take care of the
“boozy ones.”
These boys live south of town
and will be remembered as the
same fellows who have been into
mischief before. This is the third
time \\ ill Gatewood has been on
trial in the last,’ (50 days. The
court fined him $10 and sentenced
him to fit) days in jail. Ed Law-
son was fined $10 and given 20
days in jail. Both of them gave
bond and appenled to the district
court. The pvrenls of the oilier
boys took a change of venue to the
district, court.
Pen file who are acquainted with
the families say these boys all have
good parents. It is too bad that
they cannot see how useless it is to
defy the law. This last dose, how-
ever. promises to check their mis-
c.hieviousnpss.

POLICE COURT NEWS.
Lust evening a few minutes
after six o’clock near the railroad
depot Oliver Gunn struck John
White a terrible blow on the head
with a large hardwood club, knock-
ing him senseless and slightly-
fracturing his skull. Both men
have l>een working on the section
at this place. Gunn is a son of
M. H. Gunn, who recently came
here from Indiana, and is about 23
years old. White is a large, heavy-
set man of about 152 years and had
been here since last Friday as ex-
tra hand on the section,

mutilated ballots, making the to.

surprised at thetesnlt as even tV
