FIVE TRIBES WILL
ORGANIZE PARTY
Citizens by Blood Playing for Bal-
ance of Political Power
ALEXANDER DOWIE IS OUT
FOURTEEN THOUSAND VOTERS
By Holding Aloof From Old Parties
Indians Expect to be Controll-
ing Factor in Oklahoma
Muskogee, I. T.—A movement
among the Creek* to organize an in-
dependent political party, tile member-
ship of which will be confined to In-
dians by blood of the Five Civilized
Tribes of Indian Territory, was set
on foot at a meeting of some of the
leading members of the Creek council
in Okmulgee. None but Indians by
blood were permitted to attend the
meeting, as the desire is to keep the
details of the organization as quiet as
possible, until it has been placed on a
solid basis.
The movement is headed by Ben
Marshal, Chief I’. Porter, Colonel Ro-
bert L. Owen, Holey McIntosh, Wash
Grayson and A- P.McKellopp, who are
recognized leaders among the Indians
of this section. The proposed inde-
pendent party has its foundation in the
desire of the Indians to secure politi-
cal recognition in the new state.
They fear that by allying them-
selves with either of the old parties
they will receive no offices and will
be ignored in the councils of the new
state. By organizing themselves into
a strong independent party, they be-
lieve that the old parties must reckon
with them, and will be compelled to
recognize their interests;
The Indian party expects to hold
the balance of power in the new state
and to be recognized as a political
factor. There are approximately 14.-
000 Indian voters in the Indian Ter-
ritory, and they can hold the balance
of power if they are properly organ-
ized.
OUTLOOK IS BLUE
Prospects for the Pasrage of the Cur-
tis Bill Is Discouraging
Shorn of Power, Stripped of Wealth
and Reduced to Ranks
Chicago—John Alexander Dowie,
the head of the "Christian Catholic
Church in Zion,” has been deposed as
religious leader, suspended lr n
membership in the church he found-
ed, shorn of his temporal •'ossssnns
as far as they are located in Zion
City, the home of his church and
warned to accept the situation quietly
lest worse things befall him.
An active revolt against leadership
of Dowie was foreshadowed when
Overseer Wilbur F. Yolia, who had
been placed bv Dowie in charge of
the church, while he sought health
in Jamaica and Mexico,, announced
that he would not longer accept or-
ders of Dowie. who had. he declared,
grossly mismanaged affairs of the
church. Members of the church, in-
cluding the wile and son of Dowie
agreed to stand with Voliva.
Dowie, still in the south, is a very
sick man, suffering from pulmonary
troubles, paralysis, dropsy and occa-
sional delirium.
Dowie s project for the establish-
ment of a c lony in Mexico will be
abandoned bv the new administra-
tion of Zion Citv. Dowie will be giv-
en an allowance, accordin'- to advices
from Zion City, sufficient to maintain
a residence in Mexico if he so desires,
or he will be received bv the new offi-
cers of the church as a common citi-
zen, should he elect to return and
ake up his residence in Zion City.
LEASES SOLD AT AUCTION
Now Oil Has Been Struck Allottees
Want Them Set Aside
Muskogee, I. T.—It now looks as if
the Curtis bill had gone glimmering
as Senator Clapp of Minnesota has
withdrawn the report of the confer-
ence committee which was bitterly
opposed by Senator Lafollctte, Pat-
terson. Teller and others.
William O. Beall has returned from
his conference held with Commission-
er Tams Bixby at Cincinnati and in
conversation said: "It doesn't look
much like the Curtis bill. The pros-
pects for the passage of the bill are
most gloomy and Mr. Bixby is great-
ly discouraged.
“Mr. Bixby returned to Washing-
ton however, with the hope of saving
something from the wreck.”
Senator Clark objected to the
amendment which provided for the
selling of all lands other than home-
steads, by all citizens of the Five-
Tribes, except full bloods, but which
provided that no oil, gas or mineral
leases could be '-ranted bv the allottee
without the permission of the secre-
tary of the interior
URGED TO VETO BILL
Senator LaFollette Tells President
His Opinion
Washington D. C.—The President
was urged to veto the bill providing
for the settlement of the affairs of the
Five Civilized Tribes, because it is
likely to contain a paragraph permit
ting the leasing of coal lands to rail
road companies.
Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin
talked to the president about the bill
He said he had learned that the par-
agraph which he had opposed and had
succeeded in having stricken out from
the measure while it was pending in
the senate was to be restored by th
conferees.
The senator stronrdv urged the
president to veto the bill in the event
of its passage with the objectionable
passage restored. The president did
not indicate what he might do but
promised to consider the matter wher
it reached him.
Sapulpa, I. T.—-Several oil com-
panies, through their attorneys, en-
tered a protest here before the United
States judge against the approval of
the action of Probate Commissioner
Thomas Sanson, in selling oil leases
on minor Indian lands to the highest
bidder. The probate commissioner
advertised a number of oil leases on
minors’ lands and sold them to the
highest bidder March 5. His action
has to be approved by the court be-
fore it is valid, and the unseccessful
bidders are endeavoring to have his
action set aside. In most cases the
legal guardians of the Indian minors
are also anxious to have the sale set
aside, as the leases are much more
valuable now' than when hid off. A
700-barrel oil w-ell was brought in
five miles east of Sapulpa two weeks
ago. A number of the tracts of land
affected arc near this well .affid the
leases are worth several thousand
dollars apiece today, whereas they
w-ere bid off for a few hundred dollars
March 5.
The sales were made by the pro-
bate commissioner in compliance
with the order of the court. The court
has taken the matter under advise,
ment.
MINERALS IN OKLAHOMA
Governor Frantz Wires Their Loca-
tion and Character
Guthrie, O. T—In response to
telegram from Thomas Ryan, acting
secretary of the interior, requesting
immediate report by w'ire of the esti-
mated aggregate value of all reserved
lands in the territory containing min
erals, stating location and character
of minerals by counties. Governor
Frantz, with the assistance of the
school land board prepared such
statement which was forwarded im
mediately to the department.
Governor P'rantz believes that the
Warran amendment has been knocked
out and that the department now has
under consideration some provision
which will permit the leasing of the
mineral lands for the benefit of the
territory.

Pittsburg, Pa.—There will be no

the Creek land office some time be
tween Friday, March 23, and Monday,
March 26. It was discovered missing
on the latter date by employes of ti»i
office and reported to Acting Com-
missioner Beall. The last time it wa-
in use at that office was the Friday
before. The roll was in a letter folio.
The cover of tile folio was lifted and
the roll cut off at the top, probably
with a sharp knife, and the folio left
the vault. Wednesday morning
the janitor of the building found the
roll lying at the entrance of the Com-
mission.
It is evident that it was copied as
was in the possesion of the alleg-
ed thief for a number of days. Both
rolls are very valuable government
property and it cost thousands of dol-
lars to make them.
It 'is the opinion of the host attor-
neys in the city that there is no law
with which to prosecute those who
have been hawking the Creek roll,
but it is thought that those who stole
the Seminole roll can be prosecuted
for larceny and conspiracy to de-
fraud the government.

Bevier, Mo.—Colonel C. C. Burge
owning several cottages occupied by
miners and their families, has posted
the following notice, reducing the

"To whom it mav concern:
“I hereby notify all tenants now

missioner and tooK charge of the of-
fice. John Abernathy and his depu-
ties also took charge at the marshal’*
office.
This is very far from being a case
where there is an absence of moral
guilt or turpitude. Shall the officers
of a corporation, or a single officer
say, take the money of the policy-
holders, take your and my money
and give it to a political party? I say

Cattlemen of Southwestern Oklahoma
Are Having Their Cattle Dipped
Guthrie, O. T.—Charles Gorton
territorial cattle inspector for the
southwestern district, reports all the
trouble in Comanche county resulting
from the recent violations ot the quar
antine rules there has subsided, and
that there is little probability of any
recurrence of trouble of the same
kind. Eight indictments for quaran
tine violations were returned by the
recent grand jury.
“The cattlemen have all found out
that they can bring their cattle across
the quarantine line without dipping
them, and they are also finding out
that the cattle arenot hurt by being
dipped,” said Mr. Gorton. "On the
other hand it is a positive benefit to
them, as in addition to killing all the
ticks and lice, it renders the cattle
immune to attack by the heel fly, as
long as the oil remains on them. Much
trouble has been experienced down
there with tlrat insect, which stings
like abee and makes the cattle at
tacked almost frantic for a time. It
lias been found, however, that it does
not molest the cattle that have been
recently dipped.
“In view of that fact a suggestion
lias been made by I)r- Leslie G. Allen,
federal inspector, which will likely
be adopted by many cattlemen, that
tanks should be arranged, holding oil
to a depth of about six i riches,
through the cattle may be driven, this
giving aJi extra coat of oil to the
part the fly attacks.

Oklahoma has sold out all of its in-
terests to the Pioneer Telephone am'
Telegraph company, which now con
trols the long distance business in
both Oklahoma and Indian Territory,
ami the local exchange in practically
all the larger towns. The Pioneer
company, which in the first place
.perated mainly in Indian Territor
gradually extended its control over
•he majority of the independent com
panics operating in the territories,
and finally made an agreement with
the Missouri & Kansas company,
whereby the Bell people retired from
the territories, and the Pioneer turned
over the offices which it had estab-
lished in Southern Kansas.

2. "And a certain centurion's ser-
vant.” "This centurion wan a heathen
by birth (v. 3), and was probably In
the service of Anttpas." International
Critical Commentary. "All Palestine
was under Roman military govern-
ment; this centurion was probably
connected with the garrison at Caper-
naum."—Prof. Marvin U. Vincent. "All
the centurions in the New Testament
are favorably mentioned."—Cambridge
Bible. Compare the one at the cross,
Cornelius, whom Peter converted; and
Julius, who brought Paul to Rome.
"Who was dear unto him." The ad-
jective "does not necessarily Imply an
affectionate relation between the mas-
ter and the servant, though such may
well have existed. It may mean only
that he was a valuable servant.”—Vin-
cent. "Was sick, and ready to die."
R. V., "at the point of death.
3. “And when lie heard of” (R. V.,
“concerning") "Jesus.” Christ had al-
ready worked many wonderful mira-
cles and spoken many wise sayings in
Capernaum, so that the centurion had
the best foundation for his faith. “He
sent unto him the elders of the Jews."
Leading, representative men. “The
reference is probably to elders of the
citv rather than to rulers of the syna-
gogue.”— Expositor's Greek Testament.
The centurion probably felt that Je-
sus, being a Jewish prophet, would lie
most Influenced by the leaders of Ills
own people, who were the centurion's
friends. “Beseeching (R. V., "ask-
ing") him that he would come and
heal (R. V., "save”) Ills servant."
4. "Besought him Instantly." U. V.,
“earnestly,” as In the phrase, "con-
tinuing instant In prayer.”
5. "For he loveth our nation." This
Gentile soldier found In the Jews "a
purity, reverence, simplicity; and no-
bleness of life which he had not found
elsewhere."—Dean Plumptre. “And he
hath built us a (R. V., "our”) syna-
gogue,” to testify his interest In them
and their religion. "Augustus had rec-
ognized the value of synagogues in
maintaining order.”—Int. Crlt. Com.
II. The Prayer of Faith.—Vs. G-8.
The centurion had shown a certain
measure of faith in sending to Jesus at
all; but he was to exhibit Ills faith far
more strikingly.
G. “Then JesttB went with them,”
saying, according to Matthew, “I will
come and heal him.” Some of the
delegation seem to have hastened In
advance to the centurion’s house,
“which was probably in the suburbs,”
in order to relieve Ills anxiety before
Jesus could arrive. As they drew near
to the house, “the centurion sent
friends to him,” with another mes-
sage. He probably had heard of the
healing of the nobleman’s son in Ca-
pernaum while Jesus was at Cana
(John 4: 4G-53), so that he knew the
presence of Jesus was not necessary;
and he also felt, “I am not worthy that
thou shouldest enter under my roof."
This feeling of unworthiness was due
partly (1) to his own consciousness of
sin, and partly (2) to his knowledge of
the Jewish feeling that "as the houses
of Gentiles were ‘unclean,’ entrance
into them, and still more, familiar
fellowship, would ‘defile.’ ” — Elder-
sheint.
7. “Say in a word.” "Literally, 'Say
with a word, and let my servant he
healed.’ The word Is to be the In-
strument with which the healing is to
take place, instead of Jesus’ coming
in person.”—Int. Crlt. Com.
8. "For I also (like Jesus, hut in an-
other sphere) am a man set under au-
thority,” etc. “He means; ‘I also,
though a very humble person in the
army, under the authority of more im-
portant officers, still have a command
over a body of men who do implicitly
as I hid them.’ The centurion thiiiks
Jesus can order about disease as he
orders his soldiers—say to fever, palsy,
leprosy, go, and it will go.”—Exposi-
tor's Greek Testament.
III. The Prayer of Faith Granted.—
Vs. 9, 10. 9. “He marvelled at him.”
“Only twice do we read In the Gospel
that the Savior marveled: once at the
unbelief of his fellow citizens at Naz-
areth (Mark G: G), once at the faith | Judea; but the sto
of this heathen.”—Van Oosterzee.
“Said unto the people,” who needed
the lesson on faith. “I have not found
so great faith.” “The Savior knew well
the difficulties that must have lain in
the way of this man's faith."—Gibson
They were the facts that he was a
Gentile, that he was consciously un-
worthy, that he was asking for an es-
pecially wonderful miracle, a cure at
a distance. "No, not In Israel,” where
it would naturally he expected, for
miracles offered.”—Ryle. "These mira-
cles of our Lord are the nearest we
come to news concerning the other
world. I except of course our Dird's
own resurrection.”—George Macdon-
ald.
11. "The day after." R. V., "soon
afterwards ” "lie went Into a city
called Naln." A small town twenty-
five miles to the southwest. A hamlet
of the same name still exists there.
With Christ were “his disciples, and
a great multitude” (R. V.)
12. “When lie came nigh to the gate
of the city.” Nearly all towns and vil-
lages were surrounded by walls, as a
defence against marauders. “Behold,
there was a dead man carried out.”
“The bier on which the body was
borne was, In the case of the poorer
classes, a simple board supported on
two poles. There was no coffin; the
corpse was simply covered with a
large cloth.”—Abbott. "The only son
of his mother.” The Greek Implies
that lie was the only son she ever
had,—a fact Intensifying her grief.
“And she was a widow.” The second
grief had followed the fl-st. She was
alone in the world. "And much people
of the city was with her.”
V. The Prayer of Sorrow Granted.—
Vs. 13-15. We are not told that Jesus
was addressed with any petition. The
great grief he saw was enough. He
knew what was In man.
13. “The Lord.” A title first used
by Luke In this place, • rhaps because
In tills mlrncle Christ fchowed himself
supremely the Lord of life and death.
“Saw her.” He picked her out readily
because she led the sad procession.
"It was worth noting that nearly all
the recorded Instances of raising the
dead were performed for women.”—
Int. Crlt. Com. “He had compassion
on her.” “Jesus, who was always
touched by the sight of human agony
(Mark 7: 34; 8: 12), seems to have
felt a peculiar compassion for the
anguish of bereavement (John 11; 33-
37).”—Cambridge Bible. “And said
unto her, Weep not.” “A hint of what
was coming, hut of course not under-
stood by the widow.”—Expos. Greek
Test.
14. "And he came and touched the
bier.” “Of wickerwork. The body
lay with Its face turned up, uncov-
ered, and Its hands folded on the
breast.”—Edersheim. "They that hare
him.” "Friends and neighbors, all of
them unshod, different parties of bear-
ers, at frequent Intervals relieving
each other, so that as many as possi-
ble might share in the good work.”—
Edersheim. "Stood still.” “Taking
the touch of Jesus as a sign that he
wished tills.”—Expos. Greek Test.
"And he said, Young man, I say unto
thee, Arise.”
15. “And he that was dead.” “The
spectators'were sure that he was dead,
for they were carrying him out to
bury him. No deception was possible,
for his own mother believed him dead,
and you may he sure that if there
had been a spark of life in him she
would not have given him up to the
jaws of the grave.”—Spurgeon. “Sat
ni), and began to speak.” "Incoherent,
perhaps, were those words, like the
last words of a dream with which a
man awaken; hut they were words,
and they made known that the dead
