THE PEOPLE'S VOICE.
NORMAN,
OKLAHOMA.
OKLAHOMA AND INDIAN TERRITORY
The trial of the Jennings boys is in
progress at Mmko^ee.
Perry is complaining' of May beetles,
and Orlando, the tirst town south, is
boasting of u cheese factory.
The Guthrie Leader claims that six-
teen members of the malitia compauy
recently made a rush for caves during
a storm.
The prospects for a biff wheat crop
Were never better in Oklahoma than
now. The acreage is much larger than
last year.
All slot machines in Ardmore have
been confiscated by the police and their
owners arrested for running a gamb-
ling device.
The tearing down of the old capitol
at Tishomingo has been completed and
work on the new building will com-
mence at once.
President Boyd of the Oklahoma un-
iversity at Norman has caused to be
planted 13,000 young trees on the eol-
li'gi' grounds.
The month of April this year has
been the coldest since Oklahoma was
opened to settlement, and the season
lis very backward.
An Oklahoma man says there is just
'about as much chance of getting shot
in battle as there was in getting the
first claim over the line in a run.
A man named Ditto got married in
Noble county a few days ago, and
should this transaction be crowned
with success the most he can say of it
will Ik* DlttO.
The only Indian story that the Cush-
ing Herald published last week was an
account of the capture of a horned rab-
bit. The Herald can be relied upon
■for something unusual.
A prominent attorney of Pottawat-
omie Co. has been Indicted for selling
whiskey to an Indian. It is alleged
that he went into a saloon and bought
the whisky for an Indian.
Each county in Oklahoma should
contribute its mite towards placing an
exhibit at the Omaha exposition. Only
conceited action on the part of the dif-
ferent counties can make the exhibit a
success.
The story going the rounds of the
territorial press that two Spaniards
were in the vicinity of Guthrie acting
as spies was written to appease the in-
satiable appetite of the "devil" who
was erying for copy.
Everything is looking line through-
out Oklahoma and the Indian terri-
tory. The warm weather since the
rain* have made a wonderful improve-
ment in all lines of crops, and the
farmers are apparently very happy
over their prospects.
The Chandler News says: The News
is inf ined that parties arc traveling
ui :• the county representing that they
have a plan whereby the homesteaders
can ,'Tft out of paying for their lands.
They claim that by going into litiga-
tion the title of the Indians to these
land , can be destroyed, and they ask
the \\ .nestcaders to put up $10 apiece
for attorneys' fees. We advise every-
me who hasn't 810 that he wants to
nbfcOiUtely throw away to turn a deaf
onr to these schemers.
Temple Houston tells a good story
regarding a trial in a western town
not long since. A number of witness-
es. owing to religious scruples, refused
to be sworn, but affirmed instead. The
testimony of this class of witnesses
had been exhausted, but the attorney
conducting the case was not aware but
others of a like character followed and
when a long, lank cowboy specimen
was called to the stand the lawyer
asked: "Do you swear or affirm?" the
westerner very unconcernedly replied:
"I don't care a d—n which."
The Newkirk Republican says: Coal
oil inspection and meat inspection as
provided for in the present laws are
the twins. The only oil we ever burn-
ed in Oklahoma, so poor as to notice
its inferior quality, has beer since the
coal oil inspection law was made. The
inspection is done very often by the
company's agent instead of by the coal
oil inspector, and the consumer "pays
the freight" just the same. The oil
companies can send in grades down to
the very lowest limit, and seem to do
so. If there was a law simply putting
a penalty on shipping in oil below a
certain test, better oil would generally
be furnished, as there would be less
trouble to the companies in making
shipments.

The Stillwater exteunion of the Choc-
taw is now an assured fact.
Oklahoma was visited by one of the
best rains of the season on May 1st and
I'd.
An Oklahoma county farmer lost 180
head of hogs by the high water last
week.
The case of Lindsay Dillard for the
killing of Hud Pullium is ou trial at
Ardmore.
Volunteer companies are being or-
ganized in nearly every town in the
territory.
Almost every paper in the territory
now has a double-column war news
department.
Iturglars at Oklahoma City recently
made away with a gunnysack tilled
with plug tobacco,
llright, sunshiny days have succeed-
ed the past rainy week and Oklahoma
is herself once more.
Twenty-eight federal prisoners have
been taken to the Columbus, Ohio,
penitentiary from Muskogee.
The graduating exercises of the
Guthrie High school were held last
week. The class was the largest in
the school's history.
Hen Kelsch, living near El Reno, had
a kiln of 60,000 brick, which he was
preparing to burn, ruined by high
water from the Canadian river.
The life insurance companies should
hire the Spanish not to kill .lake
Schweizcr, second lieutenant of Okla-
homa's company, as he carries 910,000
life insurance.
The Newkirk Democrat says: Okla-
homa is sending the flower of her
youth to the battle for the freedom of
Cuba, and to revenge the treachery
and cowardice that sank the Maine,
and wherever the boys may be sent,
one thing is certain, that each and
every one of them will fight for the
honor of "Old Glory" and will main-
tain the chivalry and dignity of the
"Land of the Fair God."
Last week parties who were fencing
pastures in the Caddo country, report-
ed several spools of wire stolen. Offi-
cers went out and made a search and
found several spools scattered through
the grass on one Hi singer's claim, just
south of Seger. Further investigation
revealed several spools buried in an
old sink-nole and covered with about
two feet of trash and dirt, and a hog
pen placed over it. Sufficient evidence
seemed available to cause the arrest of
Risingcr, Massa and a man named
Crooin, who are now in jail.
A Pawnee Indian, William Pollock,
aged 28 years, is a member of the cav-
alry troop which was sent south from
Oklahoma. Pollock is one of the best
educated men in the territory, and is
regarded as quite a genius by his tribe
and white acquaintances as well, lie
is a graduate of Haskell institute and
took a two-years course in the Kansas
state university. Hesides being a good
scholar he is a musician and artist of
no mean merit. He is a fine specimen
physically and will make a good sol-
dier.
It has been a question since the
Guthrie flood a year ago whether it
was caused by the protracted rain
which lasted about forty-eight hours
or a cloud burst. The recent rains,
which continued about seventy hours,
has settled the proposition to the sat-
isfaction of the Guthrie people. While
the recent cains filled the banks of the
Cottonwood, which runs near the
town, there was no overflow and no
serious danger of one, hence the con-
clusion is reached that last year's flood
was the result of a cloud burst some-
where up the valley.
Harvest in Oklahoma will be four
weeks later this year than it has ever
been known. Heretofore the harvest
has commenced about May 20, and end-
ed about June 1. This time of year in
the past wheat has commenced to
head, but at this time no heads are
seen. The prospects for a crop were
never better, however, than now, and
the recent -ains which extended to all
parts of the territory have provided all
the moisture necessary for this sea-
son's crop, and barring no unforseen
calamity, Oklahoma will produce more
wheat in 1808 than in any previous
year.
The Kansas City Journal says: "Ok-
lahoma has the finest prospects for big
rops she has ever had." said ex-Gov-
rnor W. C. Renfrow, at the Midland,
yesterday. "The liberal rains have
put the soil in tip top condition and
with the opening of spring came the
promise of big crops. Nothing has in-
terfered so far and everybody is feel-
ing well. Our only cause for complaint
the government allowed us too
small a ratio of soldiers. We have a
dozen men for every placd. each one 1
anxious to go. We feel we ought to i
have been given a chance to show what |
we can do in that line."
The only man from Stillwater to get
into the Rough Riders was William
builder of a phonograph and a com- McGinty. He wants to keep away from
poser of music, both of which delight
his friends and cause them to prophesy
great and wonderful things for him.
The two-year-old son of Antone Civ-
ish, who lives near Rose Hill school
house, in Noble county, was drowned

tried to res, but life was
extinct.

No man should enlist in Oklahoma's

If there are any deputy marshals in
Oklahoma's cavalry and the Spanish
troops try any doubling on their track
there is going to be a big surprise in
Ilispano.
The only people in Oklahoma who
do not want to see the war end are the
cavalrymen. If the war ends now
they will never get to make a single
charge.
The trouble with sending an Indian
regiment into Cuba would be that af-
ter clearing out the Spaniards the In-
dians would still feel hungry and
switch onto the Americans.
Oklahoma oats, while yet very back-
ward, have shown a fair growth dur-
ing the week, but the cool, cloudy
weather has thus far prevented it from
making even a normal growth. This
crop is reported fair to good only in
the southern section.
The wheat in Oklahoma continues to
improve and if looking well. Many
fields are jointing, and from every sec-
tion the stand is reported generally
good. The late rains have kept the
crops growing nicely, the cloudy days
and cool nights, too, have been favora-
ble, and the prospect for a large yield
is excellent.
Corn, generally, shows a good stand,
it being cultivated the second time in
the southern part of the territory,
and for the first time elsewhere. The
cool, cloudy, windy weather has not
been favorable to the corn, ifnd it has
an unhealthy and stunted appearance.
More sunshine and warmth are requir-
ed for this crop.
The order from the war department
ordering Major E. A. Woodson to join
his regiment was revoked on May 4th.
Governor llarnes and others presented
a strong case to the department on the
ground that his services as Indian
agent at Anadarka could not be dis-
pensed with. The governor also stated
that in the event of a regiment being
organized he wanted the major to com-
mand it. The nomination of Daniel
C. Miles was not continued by the sen-
ate.
The Cushing Herald says: Last Mon-
day at Pe-Pe's camp, ten miles south-
east of here, the Sac and Fox Indians
held their medicine dance. Three new
members were admitted to the portals
of this most exclusive secret order of
the primative savage. Each member
must provide himself with that most
sacred emblem, an otter skin, and dur-
ing the loud pow-wowing, incanta-
tions and bobbing up and down that
constitutes the dance the Indians
thrust the otter skin in each others
faces, and the Indian thus touched
falls to the ground, face upward, as if
struck by a bolt of lightning.
The El Reno wholesale grocery com-
pany has increased its capital stock
from SU'.OOOto SJO.OOO.
The Grant County Videttc says that
"Cannon Hall" Green was in Pond
Creek the first of the week. He says
that the reports in the newspapers in
regard to the output of the gold coins
from his Indian graveyard are greatly
exaggerated, and that while some doz-
en or more of the graves have Wen
opened the aggregate amount of gold
coins found would not more than com-
fortably fill a half peck measure.
FIRST BLOOD OF WAR. THE EAST INPIAN unoalow
WHERE WAS IT SPILLED IN
HbVULUTIONARY DAYS.
Honor la Claimed bj Many—The Matter
I>rp«*nda Solely I'pon the ^Jueatlon a«
to When the War Really tutu uien red
fur Independence. B
Vermonters have been wont to claim
that the first blood of the revolutionary
struggle was shed at Westminster, Vt.,
on the 13th of March, 1775, when, as the
inscription on his monument record ,
William French "was shot by the handB
o{ Cruel Mlnistereal tools of Georg ye
3d." But there are rival claims. Some
Massachusetts people assert that the
first blood was shed at Salem on the
20th of February, 1775—fifteen days be-
fore the Westminster massacre—when
Gen. Gage, having learned that the pa-
triots were mounting some old cannon
taken In the French war at Salem, sent
thither a battalion of 300 men under
Lieut.-Col. Leslie, who met In the town
a mob so large and threatening that
he thought It the proper plan to retrace
his steps to Boston. It is claimed that
bayonets were lowered and some of the
men who barred the way were pricked
with them. A much earlier collision
between a squad of British soldiers and
a mob in New York city in January,
1770, has also been cited as the first
instance of the shedding of blood in
the contest for Independence. This lat-
ter event has now come freshly into
notice. Within a few weeks past a
bronze tablet has been placed on the
wall of the Broadway corridor of the
New York postofflce by the Daughters
of the Revolution of that city. Wheth-
er the blood spilled in this fracas can
properly be called "the first martyr
blood of the revolution" of course de-
pends on the date when the American
revolution can properly be said to have
begun. Historians have not commonly
placed that date earlier than the year
1775. There was already serious fric-
tion between the colonies and the king
(n 1770. The presence of British troops
to uphold the oppressive measures of
the British government was obnoxious
to the men of the colonies, but they
had not as yet determined to throw off
the yoke. The liberty they claimed
and for which the liberty pole on the
New York common stood was liberty
under the royal government, not in-
dependence of it.
If the collision between the New
York sailors and English sailors in
January, 1770, could be called parts of
the revolution, then the similar occur-
rence In Boston In March of that year,
known as "the Boston massacre," In
which the soldiers tired on the mob and
killed three citizens would have been
placed by historians among the overt
acts of revolution, gut that event has
not been so classed. The revolution
was impending, but had not begun.
When, however, the royal posse attack-
ed the courthouse at Westminster, Vt„
the revolt was in active preparation.
The first continental congress had as-
sembled, the port of Boston had been
closed by British ships, and a British
army assembled in Boston. The min-
ute men of Massachusetts and Connec-
ticut were casting the bullets which a
few days later slew hundreds of red-
coats at Concord bridge and Bunker
hill. The Green mountain boys had al-
ready engaged to take Ticonderoga.
The revolution had begun. If a Brit-
ish bayonet was stained with patriot
blood at Salem, Mass.. in February,
1775, that may, perhaps, fairly be called
■the first blood of the revolution, but it
is not certain that any blood was then
shed. Mr. Winsor, the Massachusetts
historian, in his "Critical History of
America," calls it "a little alleged
pricking of bayonets," and, according
to his view, the first blood was not
shed there, but at Lexington. "The
shot heard round the world" was fired
on the 18th of April, 1775. but William
French and Daniel Houghton, slain by
"King George's tory crew," at West-
minster on the 14th of March, were
patriots arrayed against royal authori-
ty, and there is still room for fair ar-
gument that theirs was the first martyr
blood of the revolution.

this great and comprehensive work;
and shall myself subscribe, while I yet

I suited the action to the word and
placed my name on the list. The
gentleman with whom I was pleading
was so much impressed with my gen-
uine fervor that he added his own au-

he believed it was one of my tricks.

1U Adaptation to Northern I llwat*.

(Copyright, 18S8, by "Shoppell's Mod-
ern Houses.")
The East Indian bungalow has In the
last half decade popularized IUelf rap-
Idly In a somewhat modified form in
tha United States. Rudyard Kipling's
books have painted such alluring word
pictures of the adaptability of this
style of architecture to warm climates,
lending itself picturesquely to rich or-
namental furnishings. The bungalow
has been taken up rapidly by even
northern people for building the sea-
shore and mountains for summer usA.
The points most easily appreciated are
first, its high ceilings, immediately
suggesting a circulation of air If prop-
erly ventilated. Rooms practically all
on one floor, and ample veranuas. The
design accompanying this article pre-
sents perhaps a type of bungalow most
popular In this country. The veranda
however, in this design is not as large
and spacious as some, but may be run
around cither side and In front of par-
lor, and would even enhance the beau-
ty of the design. In the principal ci-
ties of eastern countries, Calcutta,
Bombay, and others, the English resi-
dences are often elaborate specimens
UNNECESSARY FEARS.
Not B«-
of the bungalow, even palatial In de-
sign and appointments, having exter-
ior offices for the accommodations of
large retinue of domestics, as common
In Indian life. The Standard Encyclo-
pedia says, "Military bungalow of
enormous size; public houses, main-
tained by the government for the ac-
commodation of guests and travelers,
In which are blended the characteris-
tics of an English roadhouse inn and
an eastern caravansary," are common;
built on the same style of the bunga-
low.
But in this country, where the cli-
mate is colder most of the year, where
land is more expensive and must be
economically used, and where the ele-
vator is so popular, the bungalow has
not obtained any great hold, except as
in, say, for summer use, out of town;
though country life would be much
more pastoral, if it were not for stairs
and much more comfortable wuh one
floor properly heated than cold attic
bedrooms, and much more romantic
with veranda views.

An Ideal Villa*. .
"There is a village in my 6tate,"
said Mr. E. W. Capers, at the Raleigh,
"that has no semblance of government,
though it has a population of 2,500
souls. "It is Greentown, quite a man-
ufacturing center, and withal one of
the most lawabiding and moral com-
munities in the state. The town mar-
shal resigned some months ago on ac-
count of having nothing to do, since
which time the people have got along
without a peace officer. The place
was never incorporated as a city, and
has no mayor or council. Since its
earliest day it has been governed by
five trustees, a clerk, treasurer and
marshal completing the official roster.
Not long since three of the trustees
moved out of that jurisdiction, and the
remaining members have been unable
to transact any business since for want
of a quorum, so that nothing can ba
done until new trustees can be elected
In April. The citizens are not worry-
ing over the situation, and a majority
: are inclined to think they could get
I along indefinitely without any form of
| government."
Why does a man always lose inter-
| est in a subject at soon as bis argu-
i ment is exhausted?
The Iloat Waa Merely Tlpay,
vengeful.
Some time ago a well-known Cleve-
land man had a slight altercation with
a prominent local official, in the course
of which he made a remark that at the
time must have seemed extremely of-
| fensive to the other party. He rather
regretted making It after he walked
' away, but it was too late to recall it,
j says the Plaindealer of that city,
j What was his surprise, therefore, when
not long after the squabble he received
i an invitation from the aggrieved maiT
j to Attend a |elect dinner at a promin-
I ent hotel. He was quite ready to bury
the hatchet and promptly accepted
i what he considered a peace offering.
It was a dinner party lor men only
and a number of well-known citizens
sat around the festal board. The host
was directly opposite the man who
had hurt his feelings and the latter
was rather startled to notice that the
entertainer regarded him with a decid-
edly malevolent glare. Then he thought
he saw it all. Instead of desiring to
bury the hatchet the host had invited
him there to denounce and humiliate
him. Every time he looked up that
cold-blooded stare met him. The
guests talked and ate and drank, and
made little speeches, but the host con-
tinued to keep his stony gaze on his
uncomfortable victim. Several times
the latter thought the moment of de-
nunciation had come. The entertainer
appeared to point at him and to ges-
ticulate in a menacing way, but each
time something occurred to turn him
from his purpose. Finally he gained
his feet. "My time has come," mur-
mured the unhappy guest. With a
steady stare the host raised his arm
and with finger outstretched, pointed
directly across the table. He opened
his lips, but no sound came from them.
Then he slipped back in his chair and
by gentle degrees slipped to the floor,
where he lay In peaceful slumber for
an hour or more, his guests meanwhile
cheerfully singing his praises. Then
the man who tells the story understood
it all. The host had evidently come
to the banquet board heavily loaded
and what the guest had mistaken for
a malevolent stare was merely a des-
perate effort on the entertainer's part
to fix and hold his rapidly scattering
senses to something tangible. "He
was just holding on by my eyelids,"
says the man who tells the story.
COSTA RICA BANANAS.
Dellelons Fruit Comes from the Wnl
Indian Iitlaod.
"The best bananas grown in the
world come from Port Limon, Costa
Rica," said a New Orleans man to a
Washington Post reporter. They aro
shipped from Port Limon, and the
country grower gets about 30 cents
per bunch in gold. He is notified by
wire from the seaport when to cut,
and has two days in which to gather
and deliver at the railway. Trains
composed of well-ventilated cars take
the fruit to a fast steamer, which is
waiting to convey it abroad. The
bunches will average about fourteen
hands each and each hand has from
seventeen to eighteen bananas. When
the bunch gets to New Orleans or New
York th'ey are worth about $4 each, a
tremendous advance over the price
paid the Costa Rican producer. The
planter, however, is surer of a safe
profit than any other person handling
the fruit. Jamaica negroes do all the
labor attendant on the planting, cul-
ture and cutting, being better adapted
to the work than the native peon. Ja-
maica bananas often make a finer ap-
pearance, but are not so prolific as
the Port Limon product. The best
plantations of Costa Rica are subject
to overflow and the waters deposit a
silt that greatly enriches the soil.
Crops are ready for cutting the whole
year round."
