Delegate Callahan is in Guthrie
and seetns to be quite close to th
Barnes administration. He is an
doubtedly putting his linger in the
pie when he can. He will leave for
Washington in a few days.
Colonel Watterson divides his time
between abusing the Democratic
newspapers and warning the country
against Cleveland's fourth nomina
tion, which he declares is forth
coming. The Colonel is eloquent ou
both themes, but his expressions lack
newness.
The latest whisperings from Guth
rie indicate that Charles Pitson, of
Guthrie will be appointed territorial
librarian and Col. Frank Thompson,
of Pawnee, has the inside track for
treasurer. The governor's republican
harmony has not found a man on the
west side yet.
It was reported on the streets this
morning that Ransom Payne had
been appointed United Statesi mar-
shal for Oklahoma. This news will
be a handsome pain to a whole lot of
throbing hearts, but until Jake Ad
mire administrates the appoint
ment we wilt lay low. Old Grimes is
dead.
E. P. McCabe, ex-auditor of Kansas
wants to suceed William Blincoe as
secretary of the school land com-
mission. McCabe was more active
for Barnes than almost any other col
ored man in the territory, and what
Governor Barnes will do for him is a
matter of considerable interest to
colored voters.
a woman recently instituted suit
for divorce because she found in her
husband's pocket a bill which read:
"To ribbon for typewriter, $1.00.
An exchange suggests that Ameri-
cans adopt the Knglish words "typer"
and "typist" to denote the difference
between the machine and the curly-
headed girl who works it.—Capital.
A boy over in Alva stole a watch
to get into the reform school. Judge
McAtee remarked, "I will be com
pelled to disappoint you, my boy, a
the territory does not provide a re-
form school, but if you steal any
more watches the court will send you
to the penitentiary. Run out and
play, you are discharged." Alva
should have been given a reform
school Instead of a normal college.
SUICIDE.
C. F. Morton shot and killed him-
self in the Morton hotel at Talihina,
I. T., yesterday. Thirteen buildings
in that little town were burned by an
incendiary recently and Morton was
suspected. Either remorse for the
act or mortification over the con-
nection of his name with the occur-
rence led to the rash act. He leaves
a large family.
HEAP LITTLE INDIANS.
The allotting agents sent to par-
cel out the Wichita lands are nurs-
ing their job with remarkable success.
They have been at work a month and
have but fewer allotments to make
than when they began. They have
made eleven allotments, but in the
meantime seven babies have been
born and each is entitled to an allot-
ment.
CROP BULLETIN.
For the week ending Monda
31, 1897.
Tuesday rind Wednesday were
warm, clear days: Thursday anil Fri-
day cloudy with light to heavy rains
throughout northern, south, centra!
and western sections; Saturday Sin -
day and Monday generally clear and
cool.
The mean temperature for the
week, 117 degrees, is 5 degrees below
normal.
The rainfall was above normal ex-
cept over the Cherokee, Creek, Osage
and eastern part of Choctaw nation,
from which no rain is reported, ex-
cept a very heavy local rain at Tahl-
equah, on 2!)th, and light at South
McAlester on 28 and 29th.
It is very dry in eastern portion of
Creek nation.
Wheat continues in the most prom-
ising condition and the outlook is ex-
cellent. Some fear was entertained
for the heavy rains Thursday and
Friday thoughout the central section
which caused many fields to lodge,
would not rise again, but by Sunday,
practically all was again erect and
line. It is everywhere filling rapidly
and well, the fields are already turn-
ing yellow and harvest will begin in
the southern section next week.
The oats crop is also in line condi-
tion and like wheat gives promise to
the largest yield ever known.
The weather has been favorable
to grass, which has grown very rank.
Some new hay is already on the mar-
ket.
Corn has already made splendid
growth and is up with the season: the
early fields have been cultivated for
the last time and laid by.
Reports are somewhat conflicting
as to cotton: some correspondents re-
port it as having done well during
the week and others as not doing
well. The latter part of the week
has been most too cool, and the heavy
rains appear to have retarded its
growth. The crop is about three
weeks behind the normal condition
for this week of the season.
A large crop of potatoes is assured.
Fruit trees and vineyards continue
ladened with fruit; all have made ex-
cellent growth during the week.

SUGAR TRUST FOILED.
The award of a government con-
tract for supplying a million pounds
of sugar for Indian reservations has
furnished a very pretty illustration
of trust methods. The contract was
to be let to the lowest bidder. Seven
propositions were received by Com-
missioner Jones.
Of these five ottered exactly the
same terms, 4.41 cents a pound, show-
ing clearly that the merrbers of the
Sugar Trust were bidding in accor-
dance with a common agreement not
to compete. The sixth bid was 4.616
cents, and was obviously intended to
create the impression that the Trust's
bid, through its members, was very
low.
Unfortunately for the Trust, there
was a seventh bid put in by an im-
porter of Dutch sugar. It offered a
quality fully up to all requirements
at 4.25 cents a pound. This being the
lowest offer was a once accepted.
The Sugar Trust has of course
raised a great outcry on the ground
that the contract should have gone
to it, even if the importer did offer
more reasonable terms. Very little
sympathy, however, will go to the
monopoly which tried to force the
government into paying it more than
the sugar was worth simply because
it selects the American people rather
than some other nation as victim.
The summary rebuke to the soul-
less monopoly may or may not have
been intentional. At any rate it wilt
not be withdrawn. For once the
Sugar Trust has been too cunning.
Though it owns the republican party
managers, it has not yet arranged
matters so that it can dictate terms
to all the departments of the govern-
ment. The failure, of sly trick, will
naturally be received with satisfac-
tion.—Kansas City Times.

TOO MANY WIVES.
Marrying a Man to Reform Him.
"The most subtle and deceitful hope
which ever existed, and one which
wrecks the happiness of many a
young girl's life," writes Evangelist
Dwight L. Moody, in the June Ladies'
Home Journal, "is the common delu-
sion that a woman can best reform a
man by marrying him. It is a mys-
tery to me how people can be so
blinded to the hundreds ot cases In
very community where tottering
homes have fallen and innocent lives
haye been wrecked, because some
young fiirl has persisted in marrying
a scoundrel in the hope of saving him.

Major
Woodson to Print a List of
Polygamous Indians.
Major Woodson, agent for the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians at
Darlington, will furnish county re-
corders July 1, with a list of all his
Indians who are practicing polygamy,
contrary to the law enacted by the
last legislature says the El Reno Star.
The Cheyennes and Arapahoes reside
in eleven districts and are taught
how to lead a civilized life by farmers,
appointed by the government. S-aid
Major Woodson:
"There are only about forty cases
of polygamy among my Indians.
They are opposed to a change. They
come to me saying they have heard
nothing from Washington about it.
and are inclined to question the ter-
ritorial law. They imagine that
everything must come from Wash-
ington.
"Most Indians who were living in
villages six months ago are now living
on their allotments. The only unruly
ones are 300 Cheyennes at Red Moon
and Cantonment. They are practic-
ally as uncivilized as they were years
ago and refuses to take allotments.
They are hopeful that they will again
be placed under civilian instead of
military agents. Their refusal to
adopt civilized ways is due mostly to
the chiefs, who know their power is
gone the moment the Indians are
separated on allotments. The Chey-
ennes receive no gratuities, except
such as required by law."
