Who Named Oklahoma.
OklahomaCity, Okla., July 4.—
The passage of the statehood bill
has brought out many sugges-
tions and claims as to who origin-
ated the name of Oklahoma. It
was said that E. C. Boudinot of
the Indian Territory, 35 years
ago at a meeting held at Fort
Smith, Ark., for the purpose of
organizing a state out of the
Indian Territory, suggested that
the proposed state be called Ok-
lahoma. Boudinot is a Cherokee
descendant. Now then Mr. J. S.
Murrow of Atoka, I. T., makes
the following statement, claiming
that the name originated with
liev. Allen White when the
treaties were made with the
Indians of the tive civilized tribes
in 1800. Mr. Murrow speaking
says:
"A territory to be known as
"Oklahoma" was provided for in
the trea* ies made with the In-
dians of the five civilized tribes
in April 1800. This was before
any bill for the opening of any
part of the Indian country had
been introduced in congress. In
the Choctaw treaty of April,
1800, section 10, article 8, are
the following words: 'And it is
further agreed that the superin-
tendent of Indian affairs shall be
the executive of the said terri-
tory with the title of the governor
of the territory of Oklahoma,'etc.
When the provisions in the sever-
al treaties of 1&06 for organizing
a territory out of the country be-
longing to these live tribes had
been agreed upon, one of the
United States commissioners at
the time asked what name should
be given the proposed new terri
tory. Rev. Allen Wright of the
Choctaw delegation spoke up and
said: 'Call it Oklahoma.' On be
ing asked what the name meant
Rev. Allen replied that it meant
'Red Men,' or 'Red Men's Land.,
The delegation assented, and so
it was put into the treaties that
the new territories when organ-
ized should be named Oklahoma.
The name is pure Choctaw.
'Okla' (people) and 'lloma' (red).
It has been claimed that Oklaho-
ma is a Creek word. 'Red per-
son' in Creek is 'lste Chata; and
red people is 'Istulke, Chata,' so
Oklahoma cannot be a Creek but
Choctaw."
Other persons claiming to
kn w the origin of the name say
that it is a Comanche word mean-
ing "Sand Bur." In the latter
claim it is obvious that the name
would mean simply nothing, but
in the former contention there is
a reasonable excuse for the coin-
ing of the word."
To Hold Elections Early.
Guthrie, Okla., July 6.— Gov-
ernor Frank Frantz, Chief Justice
John H. Burford and Territorial
Secretary Clias. II. Filson, com-
posing the board to district the
new state into districts from
which delegates will be elected
to the constitutional convention,
have been in session to day. The
meeting was held for the purpose
of going over the data on hand in
regard to the population of Okla-
homa. Judge Burford has sent
letters to every county clerk,
asking for the assessment re-
turns, and by this means it is
hoped to get at the exact popula-
tion in the various counties.
There is a mass of information to
be obtained, but the board is
making greater headway than it
was supposed they could at this
early date. Matters will .be ex
pedited and the board will lose
110 time in forming the districts,
so that the election may be held
at the earliest possible date.
Guthrie, Okla., July 10.—The
election of delegates to the con-
stitutional convention will proba
bly be held November 0 next.
This is the date upon which the
districting boards of the two
territories hope to set for the
election and if unforseen compli-
cations do not arise the election
will be held at that time.
J ud ge Clay ton and Tam s B i xby,
compising two members of the
Indian Territory board have been
conferring with Governor Frantz,
Secretary Charles Filson and
Chief Justice John H. Burford,
who comprise the Oklahoma
board. The five have been closet-
ed in Judge Burford's office
practically all day. Judge Joseph
A. Gill, the third member oi the
Indian Territory board, did not
arrive this morning, but is ex
pected to night or in the morn-
ing. Unless opposition is made
by him it is expected that the
conference will decide upon Nov-
ember 0 as the election date.
This is the date of the general
election over th« United States.
What "Denaturiied Alcohol" Is
Stnie Register.
It is simply ordinary alcohol -f
with which some chemical or <■$
other substance has been mixed «£
which renders it unusable as a
beverage. A great deal has been
written about "denaturized *$1
alcohoi" and most people are
under the impression that it is of 'fa
recent invention, or discovery, -b
Such is not the case, for it has -Jit
been in existence almost as long f
as alcohol has been distilled. The <-J
law recently enacted by to igress ^
simply removes the revenue tax
from ordinary alcohol when it is
denaturized at the distillery, -$
thereby reducing its cost to the
extent of the former revenue tax j -*
Some of the substances used <4
to accomplish denaturization are
pyrdin, shellac, camphor, ether, -$
soap, castor oil, wood alcohol
and benzol. Any substance may -$
be used that will make it until to -$
drink and will not injure its
qualities for the purpose for
which it is to be used. *4*
Besides being used for median
ical and technical purposes an t
ill the arts, the low price at "J®
which it can be produced will -f
bring denaturized alcohol into
general use for healing and cook- "J*
ing, for which it is specialy adapt 4
ed owing to its non explosiveness,
freedom from odor, and cleanli-: "§•

ness. I11 this it is greatly superior
to coal, kerosene, gasoline, or
any other fuel extant. It may
also be used for illuminating, for
in proportion to the amount of
heat or light produced, it will
probably be cheaper than any
other fuel or illuminant. Its cost
will depeDd upon the •pr'ce
potatoes, corn or other grains
from which alcohol is made.
Ex-Governor Barnes Predicts Pro-
hibition for the Entire State.
Guthrie, Okla., July 2.—Hon.
C. M. Barnes, ex governor of Ok-
lahoma, has sprung a sensation
here by declaring that in his
opinion the entire state of Okla
homa will be under the restric -
tions of prohibition.
Gov. Barnes said to-day that
the prohibition question will un-
doubtedly be one of the strong
issues in the election of constitu-
tional delegates, and that he be-
lieves further that constitutional
prohibition for Oklahoma proper
will be adopted, inasmuch as In-
dian Territory is already under
the ban.
Gov. Barnes takes the attitude
that constitutional delegates from
Indian Territory will stand solid
ly against the liquor traffic in Ok-
lahoma, placing the united teni
tones on an equal basis.
'] he Anti Sul"i n league of Ok-
lahoma has already begun its
crusade to bring about the desir
ed sentiment at the constitution
al convention.
The Little Country Paper.
Were you raised in the country,
asks the versifier of the Chicago
Daily News. Many people were.
The touch of nature makes the
whole world kin.
"There's a little country paper
that I love to sit and read, a
paper poorly printed and behind
the times indeed; with pages
small and narrow and ink inclin-
ed to spread and here and the«*o
a letter gravely standing on its
Head, or caps a bit erratic, boldly
popping into view in unexpected
places and knocking things1
askew.
"A real old fashioned paper,
from my little native town. Each
week I hail its coming and never
put it down till I've read its
every column, all the local newa
you know, about the dear old
country folks I lived with long
ago.
"I note whose barn is painted,
whose cattle took the prize, and
how Trail Potts has raised a
squash of mighty wondrous size.
How Farmer Martin's daughter
takes the school another year.
At this I pause and smile a bit
and feel a trifle queer, remember
ing how, in by-gone days when
iife seemed made for mirth, I
thought this schoolma'am's moth-
er was the sweetest girl on
earth.
"And now, perchance, I read
that one whom once I knew is
dead; or find again, some boy-
hood chum the second time has
wed. And so it goes and none
can know what memories sad
and sweet come back to me
whene'er I read this homely
little sheet."
Here's an Opening for Hennessey Men.
Frederick, July 2.— In enforc-
ing the beer spilling ordinance
here Saturday the police judge
said:
"The court finds that the
bottles and cases are the proper-
ty of the plaintiff in this suit of
replevin, and as the beer is all
that the city desires destroyed,
the court orders that the bottles
be opened and the beer emptied.
The Courtis informed that the
beer is warm not having been
kept on ice since it was seized by
the marshal. It being danger-
ous to open beer while warm, it
is the order of the court that the
bottles be taken down to tlie ice
house and placed on ice until
they are properly cooled. After
they are properly cooled the con
stable will take charge of tliein
and with sufficient assistance
open them and pour out the beer,
taking extreme care that none is
allowed to damage the floor of
other property adjacent to the
premises. The court further
directs that the constable take
with him as many coinpetentdepu-
ties as may be necessary to
speedily and properly empty the
said bottles."
Everybody in Frederick has
applied for a deputy constable's
job.
