Figures are said to be very unln-
tere9tinf, but perhaps ft tew statis-
tics will show ftt least «omo of the
efforts toward educational progress
in Cleveland county for the past
four years.
It was the middle of December,
1890, before Oklahoma had ft school
law, hence the school year ending
June 8(1,1891, was only six months.
The people of Cleveland county
built thirty-two ichool houaes dur-
ing that six months at a cost of
|4,200.
2,709 children wore reported In
school age, 45 districts were or-
ganized and 40 of them sustained
school.
7 first, 13 second and 25 third
grade certificates were grnnted.
$4,351 was received from the fed-
eral appropriation for payment of
teachers' wages. The Township
school boards Isjued orders to the
nmount of $8,820. Total expendi-
tures for school purposes during
the years $11,171.
For the Bchool year ending June
80,1S92, 8,872 children In school age.
6 flrBi, 1# second and 8 third
grade certificates were granted.
42 districts sustained school.
$6,620.28 was expended for teach-
ers' wages and $7,028.05 was ex-
pended for sites, buildings and fur-
niture, making the total expendi
tures for the year $13,648.28.
For tho school year ending June
80, 1898: 4,835 children in school age.
12 first, 18 second and 10 third
grado certificates were granted.
47 districts sustained Bchool.
$8,481.83 was paid out lor teach-
ers' wages, aud $7,813.71 for sites,
buildings and furniture, making
the total expenditures lor the year
$15 79ft 54.
For the year ending June 80,1894:
4,WV> children In school age.
166 of these children are negroes
and 69 are Indians.
There aro 315 more males than
females.
02 districts sustained school.
11 first, 28 second and 25 third
grade certificates were granted
About 70 per cent of the children
In school ago were enrolled in the
schools.
The average length of term was
four months. $12,229 was expend-
ed for teachers' wages and $22,675
for other purposes, making the to-
tal expenditures for tho year $31,-
904.
It will be seen by adding the to-
tals that the people of Cleveland
countv expended $7,558.82 for
Bchool purposes in three years aud
six months.
There are at present 66 school
dl tricts in the county, and 68
school houses.
A term of school has been, or
will be tautfht this year in every
district in the county. Heven col-
ored schools are now in session.
Territory ■.rglslatlon
Washington, Dec. 22.—Govern-
or Hi nfrow spent some hours last
night with Senator Jones of Ar-
kansas, chairman of tho commit-
tee on Indian affairs, aud a pro-
gram me was agreed upon for se-
curing legislation affecting Okla-
homa and the Indian Territory
The governor covered tho matter
as follows:
"We will first try and get
through the Jones bill to settle the
land question in tho Indian coun-
try, and it is likely that a favora-
ble report of this bill will bo pre-
sented to the Senate to-morrow.
That bill will settle tho land ques-
tion and does not interfere with
oilier legislation that may; come
up In that country. Of all the
questions (his Is the hardest one to
get nvr, and that bill appropriates
money to boused in making a sur-
vey of lhat country, and it is hop-
ed that by the 1st of February the
purvey can bo commenced. This
will enable the Dawes commission
to allot the lands to the Indians,
rtmi very soon tho whites in that
country will have a chance to buy
property and become investors, as
they should bo
It is also proposed to press the
bill to create tho territory of In-
dianola. This bill cannot be
ported favorably, I understand, be-
fore the holiday recess, but will be
reported soon after reassembling.
Then it will be our aim to put that
through. This, taken with the
Jones bill, will place the people of
tho country where they enn roach
government for themselves in due
time and lead to all they could ask.
After this is passed we will come
in and ask that part of the
Chickasaw nation bo added to Ok
lahoma. Wo cannot get this add-
ed until after the territorial bill is
passed. If we attempt It we have
the opposition of the other people
in tho Indian country, who say,
justly, that wo are leaving them
without relief and we must all go
along together. After the pnssage
of the Indianola bill wo can have
part of the Chickasaw country add
ed, as that hiII provides that any
part of tho Indian country can be
added to any state or territory.
After this Chickasaw country is
added we can get a state. I was in
favor of one state for the two coun
tries, but I find that we cannot ge
that. There are such conflicting
Interests that we will have to be
satisfied If wo can get part of the
Chickasaw country, the people of
which will be glad to bo added to
Oklahoma, for ihe roads run north
and south, and their business will
be facilitated. This will give us
enough territory to become a great
state, and we should be satisfiei
with It. Now, I would like to se
us retain the Osage country in Ok
lahoma, but I find thero is an oppo
sit ion to thai. Tho opposers liavi
in their mind that the Usages want
to be placed with the Indian coun-
try, and that being the situation 1
am compelled to make the conces
sion and we take the Chickasaw
country. I may be accused of do-
Muiiio Rpasoili,
The editor of Ihe CentrallaJCour-
r interviewed a number of stay-
at-home Democrats, and among
the reasons assigned by them for
>t voting are the following:
"Disgusted with the entire liusi-
ness."
"Cleveland ran the party in the
ground and I thought I'd help him
break It off."
Can't see any difference between
Cleveland and Sherman."
"Thought the Democrats would
carry the day without me."
"Because I didn't want to, and
m glad I didn't since old fatty
has issued more bonds."
"Why didn't Cleveland vote?"
"I would have voted if I had
thought I was needed."
Didn't know where I belonged
under the Cleveland dispensation."
Too busy."
'Will never cast a vote while
Cleveland runs the party."
"Congress made me tired,"
"Thought I'd give the president
a dose of his own fish tonic."

Tecumseh Democrat.
The Loader keeps up tho howl of
fraud and dishonesty. Tho 1st of
January, 1895, is near at hand, and
then your men will havo theoppor-
tunity to prove that they are more
honest than men of other parties.
They will have the opportunity to
redeem their pledges, made to the
people of this county, and we will
jo here to see it done. First, they
are pledged to a most rigid econo-
my in tho administration of nil
county affairs. Second, to a re-
duction of the per cent of taxation
and tho county's indebtedness.
Third, to strict honesty In tho
handling and accounting for of all
moneys belonging to the county,
'rom whatsoever source derived.
Fourth, to tho better and more
complete suppression of crime, anil
the reduction of court expenses.
Fifth, to return to the county thir-
ty per cent of all script received as
salaries, and thirty per cent of all
moneys received as fees, which go
to pay salaries. These fees apply
more directly to the offices of Sher-
iff, Register of Deeds, and Judgo
of Probate Court, as these offices
depend on fees for compensation.
Do what you have promised and
the people of this county will not
regret your election to office. Fail
to do this, and vour lease of power
will be short, measured by two
years. The tline has come when
the people will not take excuses
for broken promises. In the doing
of your duty you will have tho
hearty support of every honest vo-
ter and tax payer of Pottawatomie
county; and we hope that duty will
be done in such a way that every
man who voted tho Pop ticket will
be proud of the act.

Noble, O. T., Dec. 18, 1HU4.
Kditor Topic:
At the reHidence of Uncle Luke Klin-
Kleamith, one-half mile cant of Noble,
there occurred one of those rare but en-
joyable events known as a golden wed-
ding, yesterday the 17th.
Fifty years ago in Hardin county,
Ky., a strapping young Kentucky boy
of twenty-one, six* feet in his stockings,
led to the altar amid a happy throng of
friends a sweet and blushing young
inaiden of sixteen. The youth was
Louis P. Klinglesniith and tho maiden
was Elizabeth French.
Yesterday Uncle Luke and Aunt Liz-
zie, as their hosts of friends lovingly
call them, celebrated tho fiftieth anni-
versary of that happy event. Each
chose so wisely then, that each recur-
ring day since has but made more real
and lasting the vows of eternal affec
tion.
Their children presented them with
a beautiful set of furniture and parlor
chairs, which were hauled out from the
station and placed in position on Sun-
day the 16th. If the deed was a dese-
cration of the Sabbath it is believed
that the recording angel will underscore
the record with the explanation that
love for their aged father and mother
inspired the act and make the punish-
ment light.
To Uncle Luke and Aunt Lizzie have
been born ten children, two dying in
infancy, and one, Noah, a young man,
sleeps in the little graveyard on the hill
east of Noble. All tho "rest are living
and were present. The children living
are as follows:
G. T., who lives at Burnett, married
ami has two children.
Ambrose, who lives in Noble, unmar-
ried.
C. P., who lives in Noble, married,
and has two children.
J. W., who lives in Noble, married,
and has three children.
Billa, who lives at Paoli, I. T., mar
ried, no children.
Cat tie Prater, who lives at Ardmore,
married, and has two children.
And the last, Miss Mary, uumarried,
who resides at home, but is at present
teaching at Paoli.
All their grandchildren were present
also. In addition to their children and
grandchildren there were present the
following welcome guests: Father A. C.
Goodrich, Mr. Blackburn of Noble; Mr.
and Mrs. J. B. Appleby, Mr. and Mrs.
J. G. ThomuHon, Mr. and Mrs. C. F
Wan ti and, Mrs. Lucy Luttrell, Mrs. S
E. Braden, Mr. T. C. French, brother
of Mrs. Klinglesniith.
The magnificent collation spread was
prepared by Aunt Lizzie's own deft
fingers, and those who have had the
good fortune to sit at her sumptuous
dinner tables can but feel envious of
the favored company who partook of
the genuine Southern hospitality and
good cheer.
Uncle Luke m<«ved from Kentucky to
Texas eighteen years ago, where he re-
sided eleven ye* rs. He moved from
Grayson county, Texas, to Pauls Val
ley, seven years ago, and moved from
there to their present home in Cleve-
land county, Oklahoma, in January
1891. They are loved and respected by
all who know them, and are often made

Mtnlrbooil for Oklahoma.
Washington', 1>cc. 25.—Edwin
L. Dunn of Oklahoma City, chair-
man ol the Democratic Territorial
committee, is one of tho late arriv-
als to look after statehood for Ok-
lahoma. Concerning tills matter
ho said to-day: "We are ready for
statehood in oklahoma, and should
get it this session. We would have
no trouble about tho matter If the
members and senators knew the
situation. Hut I find this is a very
busy world, and some things are
neglected, and I fear the situation
in Oklahoma on tills matter is not
well understood. The committees
having tliia work in hand have giv-
en «oine attention to It, but in the
rush, it Is clalmod by some of the
members • f the committee, that
they ar.> afraid they will not grt
as much time fur the consideration
of business upbearing before tho
committees to take up the Oklaho-
ma gtatehisxl ouestlon. I am hope-
ful, however, that something can
lie done thin session. I am a mem-
ber of a statehood committee ap-
pointed to come here aud place the
facts before congress Others oti
the same mission will arrive about
the end of the holidays.
"From a physical standpoint, as
well as from an industrial point of
of view, the territory should be ad-
mitted as a state. It will havo a
good moral influence. The state,
admitted on the lines suggested,
will make it very close politically,
but the party that admits the state
will receive the thanks of the poo
pie, and from this alone will gain
considerable favor, and In this case
possibly enough to make It saloly
ltamncratlc. Hut should the prea-
..ent Democratic congress not use
this opportunity It Is very plain
, that the Republicans will do ail
they can to make a state of Okla-
homa Just aa soon as they can, and
•this will give them all the advan-
tage coming from action iu the
HjuestluJB of statehood.
"Kelt** leaving Oklahoma Dele-
gate Flynn announced that he was
■or statehood, and since returning
what will bs the politics of the
state of Oklahoma, formed out ol
the territory as named, and it i;
useless for anyone to try to make
calculations along that line. That
will simply make a good business
state. It can all be brought about
this session. The Jones bill can
be put through very soon. In fact,
I have found no general opposition
to it in a general way. The terri-
torial bill can pass along with the
Jones bill, and thus do away with
all court wrangles, widen have
been used by certain ones to block
general legislation, the one great
thing needed. After the territorial
bill can coino tho bill to adjust the
lines between tho two territories,
and then can como the Oklahoma
statehood bill, and there It is."
Covering tho chances for legisla-
tion the governor sai l:
"I am noneful for all, but certain
of none. If those who come here
for towns and personal Interests
will not get in the way or keep In
the way it can be accomplished
now. lint it is likely, or at least
possible, to do all this work this
season If we can work to tho beat
advantage. There is some fear
that the financial legislation will
interfere and take up so much
time that wo may get sidetracked
Hut I believe that if we act along
the nest lines we will get through
as the programme will not take
long to carry out, If tho people In
terested are united."
The governor said that ho would
leave in a day or two, and would
be at home for some time with til
Oklahoma legislature, but he ex
pected to come back soon, espec
lally if he believed ho should be
needed. He added that all the
leading Republicans of Oklahoma
would agree totlie plan he had map
pod out, aud to the proposed boun
dry lines. Ho had talked With
leading Republican senators and
members, ami they appeared to be
willing to do anything that would
bring relief to that country, with-
out regard to what may he termed
tho political end ol tho controversy
Perky, Ok., Dec. 26.—I. M. Ter-
rlll, was convicted In tho District
court last week fer the murder of
William Embree, during the month
ol January, 1891, at Guthrie, and
sentenced to twelve years in the
penitentiary, escaped jail here late
last night. The jailer permitted
Terrill to como into his room to
write letters and while Terrill was
writing the jailer fell asleep. Ter-
rill opened the Jail door and fled

f tho first House of Representa-
tives of Oklahoma. Two dozen
officers aro after him. Ho was sen-
tenced on the first trial to 100years
in the penitentiary, but obtained s
new trial and a change of venuo.
Handes, the Boston man, who
has been in the territory in search
of his brother Henry, who has fal-
len heir to $150,000, found him near
Chickasha, 1. T., last week, where
he has beon working for a cattle
man. He hltd been gone from
home ten years, during which time
he had a varied experience, having
been a dishwasher, a section hand,
barkeeper and several other
things. He has gone back to Bos-

whole truth about his members,
alive or dead, will not occupy the
pulpit more than one Sunday, and
then he will find it necessary to

The practice of "bearing" the market
during every aesaion of court, when far-
