Robert Annotated Neff's Emotion.
Bob Neff has become a Russian.
Poor Bob, within nis oeautiful white
flounced and flushed shirt bosom
there beats a sympathetic heart;
with greatstage like emotion he nev-
er fails to fly to the relief of the un-
der dog. Hesays—"the Japs struck
the first blow and have been the ag-
gressors all through the war." Bob
Is correct, but he should remember
that a little fellew will Btand a whole
The Indian Territory
Threatened With Torture.
Mr. and Mrs. William Frantz and ! jot ,,f abuse from a big fellow, but
MrB, Sam Evans have gone t Haw- 1 when i,e ^ forCed to fight it is quite
huska to visit with Mr. and Mrs. Cap I natural for him to give the big fellow
tian Frank Frantz for a couple of | lt,e first blow and he will endeavor to
weeks. The Indian quarterly pay | keep jt up Japan is likened unto
pickaninny in comparison to the
giant IWsia If Bob was a Jap he
'I
would be feeling better just now.
Bo!* was the under dog once and he
knows how it tVels. He was defeated
for congress by Dennis Flynn and he
has never been in favor of the inde-
day o xurs in a few days and the vis-
itors expect to enjoy seeing how well
the Indians love Uncle SatA's bounti-
ful money, The poor Independent
white man and .sovereign of the re-
public must rustle, slave or graft for
his money, while all the poor, lazy,
downtrodden, greasy red man has j pendenCe of Ireland since.
Nothing to do but go to the agency
and draw his substance. The Indian
la much better off than the negro.
The former was given land and is re-
ceiving oodles of money while th<
negro secured his freedom, only, for
no other purpose than to vote the
republican ticket.
Although there is a great differ-
ence of opinion regarding the exten-
sion of the Oklahoma criminal code
over Indian Territory," said Con-
gressman B. S. McGuire, in Guthrie,
the other day, "yes the lead-
ing attorneys of that territory
are very anxious to have the
Oklahoma criminal code and the
Oklahoma banking laws In operation
in Indian Territory, and I will use
every legitimate means to have these
laws extended over that territory
Yes, indeed, 't is quite probable
that a few grafters and snide bank
ers, of the Indian Territory, would
love to embrace the saving power of
the Oklahoma criminal code and
banking laws. But the law abiding
and ever confiding people and honest
bankers of that unfortuuate terri-
tory would suffer. If there Is a larg-
er loop ho'e through which criminals
cscape, than the criminal code of
Oklahoma, It has not been shown to
the unsophisticated, and, again, If
there is any safe guard surrounding a
a depositors money in the banking
laws of Oklahoma It certaluly has
not been shown up. A banking law
that will allow some rich and infiuen
tial man to play president of a bank,
just for fun, not having any Interest
in the bank, thus securing a false
standing for the bank, playing a con-
fidence game, as it were, and then in
case of the bank's failure cannot be
held responsible, either criminally or
for the money lost by the buncoed
innocent depositors, is as rotten as
the Devil's ten commandments. If
the people of the Indian Territory
knew as much about the criminal code
and the banking laws of Oklahoma
(Annotated) as does the unfortunate
loosers in the wrecks of the Capital
National Bank of Guthrie and the
Citizens North Town Mill and Texas
railroad bank of this city, they would
shun and bate such laws as bad as the
devil does Holy water. God save the
Indian territory.

WRONG MAN ARRESTED.
Early Sunday morning City Mar-
shall Radford received a telephone
message from Tulsa, I. T., to arrest
a man who was o-i the west bound
Arkansas Valley train, bound for
this city. The man was chargcd
with holding a man up and robbing
him of $80.
A description of the uian was ^iven
and upon the ariival of the train the
marshall arrested a man about 60
years of age who tallied very well
with the description. Close to $100
was found on his person. Tne old
man protested against the arrest,
claiming his in iocence. He said he
came from Simmons, Missouri, and
was a farmer going southwest to buy
cattle. Radford doubted the man's
guilt and called up Tulsa for a mure
detailed description of the man want-
ed The descriptijn fit the old man
fairly well, but still It was lacking
considerable more, especially as to
the beard, hence, the man was dis-
charged yesterday afternoon.

The Dawes commission ceases to
exist on the 30th of this month. Ii
ever there existed a graft this has
been one from start to fi:iish. It
has been an asylum for broken-down
politicians. It has had as high as two
hundred clerks ou its pay roll at one
time, when five good men could easi-
ly have done all the work that was
e er accomplished by the whole out-
fit. It has been a hinderance to
statehood, but now that the gra it
is ended, matters In the Indian Ter-
ritory will speedily right themselves.
The passing of the Dawis Commission
is indeed a Godseud to the Indian
Territory.—Bob Neff.
SCRAMBLE FOR JUDGE BURFOBD'S
PLACE.
Henry E. Asp and Attorney Gen-
eral Simons are both said to be
prancelng steeds In the race for
Judge Burfords, chief Justice sitting
place, Judge Burford Is by far the
best and most fair minded memuer
of the Supreme Court and he should
not be turned down just because his
brother.In-law monuled with the
Courts money. Henry Asp come Into
the territory, as a Santa Fe railway
attorney for tbe two territories and
has been at the head of every rail-
road lobby before every session of
the legislature since the organiza-
tion of the territory and for the rea
son, if no other appears he should
not be appointed. Might ju.t as well
appoint the President of this Santa
Fe Hallway or M. A. Lowe of Topeka
Simons don't look any more like a
judge than Haveagoodtime Watkins
looked like a banker.
A Kansas farmer named Worman,
who lives close to the Oklahoma line,
uses a badger In digging post-holes.
Haw does the man get the badger to
dig? Well, that is simple enough.
You probably know that tni animal
Is very fond #f bugs. Mr. Worman
has a long slim Iron rod with a sharp
point. Whenever be wants a hole
dug he drives the tod In tbe ground
twenty Inches, two feet or three feet,
the depth be desires—and drops in a
bug. Tbe badger Is then taken to
the hole and never stops digging un-
til he reaches tbe bug. It Is amusing
to watch tbe operation. The June or
the ordinary possum potato bugs are
the best.
GO LEASE SOME LAND
More than 100,000 acres of land In
the Kiowa and Comanche Indian pas
ture in tbe southeru part of Com-
anche county, Oklahoma, will be
leased for agricultural purposes to
the highest bidders June 7th. The
leases will be for three and one-half
years from July 1,1905, and will cov-
er 160 acre tracts or fractional parts
No person will be allowed to lease
more than #40 acres a minium rental
of twenty-five cents an acre has been
fixed by tbe government. The lands
must be improved,
Let tbe Fight Begin.
According to Walter Wellman's
letter In the Chicago Record-Herald
the fight is on between the president
and the railroads. The president, it
is said (and his speeches since his
hunt indicate it), will insist upon
legislation giving government official
power to fix the railroad rates and it
is reported the railroads will oppose
it. Well, in that contest the demo-
crats are with the president and they
do not care bow soon the battle be-
glnS.

It was reported last night and this
morning that Lewis Finley, the
negro, who was terribly cut by Ned
Hendricks, had died, but the last re-
port before going to press Is to the
effect that Finley will recover. The
wound In tbe left lung is tbe only
dangerous one, but tbe knife did not
touch tbe lung deep enough to create
a hemorrhage.

The Standard Oil company paid

The trust's agents declare that the

Extraordinary Seisin of the
City Coaacil of W
The injunction against the City-
officials in signing the East Broadway,
street paving contract, ~vblch was
before tbe "Deestrlct" court yester-
day was withdrawn without preju-
dice by those who brought the salt,
for tbe reason that Big Jim gave
them a hint that be was going to de- •
clde on tbe grafters side, if | there -
was any grafters, but it was quite -
evident that tbe plaintiffs wasn't the
grafters, but Big Jim gave the rea-
sonaole doubt to tbe paving contrac-
tors, hence, It has been once mare
established that the comtnonr
man and citizen bas no rights that
the courts need to recognize unless
they are selfishly interested.
Owing to this sudden and saddened '
turn of affairs the promoters of tbe '
forced street paving proposition
managed to have an lmpromtu meet-
ing of the City Council called for tbe
purpose of having the contract sign-
ed carelessly, full of litigation*. By
the meerest chance the Wave man
caught onto the meeting and appear-
ed there. Through tbe well set busi-
ness principles and square dealing
ideas of Alderman S. W. Johnson anil
a few other Alderman the contract
was not signed last night, as the city
engineer had made a set of plans and,
specifications which bad not been ap--
proved by the Council. The engi-
neer, to satisfy one of b's well known*
whims bad specified 20 feet side walks--
in the two block business pottlon of ;
the proposed paving, contrary to tbr -
spirit and understanding of tboae-
who had signed the petition, hence,,
the signing of a remonstrance, noto
against street paving, but against,
theaction of the city engineer.
The Wave is glad to say that tbe*
council called the Whole matter off
until the specifications could be
changed to leave the present Id foot,
side walk ordinance in force. Every,
property owner on East Broadway,
as far as we have Interviewed tbem^,
is opposed to widening the sidewalk'
believing that street width is ofjnore-
importanoe than the widening In tbe
side walk outside of reasonable nse
for the same.
The council was unanimous against
the *20 foot sidewalk specifications
and adjourned until tonight to have.-
the specifications changed so that my
future Htigation could be broaigbt.
against the city.
The Wave is heartily In favor oli
street paving whenever the peoples
are willing to bear the burden, bok
we do not favor the idea of force ta
these premises.

English took tbe time to look care-
fully at the jury, to see If he wa« a®«-
