IS LOSING GROUND
HAMILTON STATEHOOD BILL IS A
DEAD ISSUE
ONLY HOPE IS THE FORAKER COMPROMISE
Alox^.idcr Hilton, formerly general
passenger agent of the Frisco system,
and prior to that, assistant general
passenger agent of the Kansas City,
Fort Scott and Memphis railway (now
absorbed by the Frisco), has been ad-
vanced to the position of passenger
traffic manager for both the Frisco
and the Eastern Illinois systems, with
headquarters in St. Louis. Mr. Hil-
ton, besides being a broad, Intellectual
Richest Nobleman
The Duke of Norfolk, one of the
rlchf st men in Great Britain, has a
daily income of somewhere betwen
510,000 and $15,000, but until a short
time ago he had never taken a ride in
a motor car. At the conclusion of the
run. which was taken with a friend,
he expressed much pleasure at the ex-
perience and asked hat the cost of
the car was. On being told that It
was $5,000 he said taoughtfully: "Ah,
I shall wait until they become cheap-
er before buying one."
Alexander Hilton.
People who persist in giving ad-
vice must expect to take a lot of
blame.
and well-endowed gentleman, is a'.-o
widely known as a successful and mis-
ter railroader, respected In business
for sag, city and fairness. As a pas-
senger traffic man ho has been widely
known and justly popular. During the
late world's fair ho made a most en-
viable record, and Is now president
of the St. Louis association of general
passenger agents. Mr. Hilton succeeds
Bryan Snyder.
The Dccpoct Mine
The deep st mine shaft has been
sunk to a little more thai a mile In
Capo Colony and the deepest bore
! hole has reached the sane depth In
| Silesia. It li said that there should
j lie no Insurmountable difficulties In
| carrying a shaft down twelve mi!
An approximate esiirr.ato ha:; sh >wn
, that to reach a depth of two miles the
j cost would be $2,500,000. Ten year
| would bo required and a rock tempera
ture of 122 degrees Fahrenheit would
be found; while to penetrate twelve
miles would cost $^5,000,000 and
would take eighty-five years, the rock
temperature expected being 272 de
grees Fahrenheit.

Congressmen Seem Willing for Okla-
homa and Indian Territory, but are
Against Arizona and New Mexico—
Beveridge has a Big Jcb Ahead
A Washington dispatch, discussing
itatohood, says that on his return
from Indiana Senntur Beverldgo will
discover that the opposition has
kicked to pieces the Hamilton state-
hood hill. Opponents of the measure
have the oames of sixteen republican
senators who are unalterably opposed
to the passage of the statehood hill in
Its present form. Every democratic
senator Is opposed to uuitiug Arizona
and New Mexico.
The 33 democrats and the 16 re-
publicans will give the opponents of
the bill a majority of eight, even If all
the remaining senators stood loyally
by the committee. Delegates from the
territories and ail supporters of the.
Hamilton bill recognize that the drift
has been strongly aealnst them for
several days. It is now reported that
Senator Spooner, who had been
counted a champion of the Hamilton
bill, could not he depended upon to
is'1st In forcing the fighting for the
measure. One or two New England
senators have Indicated a total Indif-
ference to tho fate of the measure.
The only hope for statehood Is tho ac-
ceptance of the Foraker compromise
permitting Arizona to vote separate-
ly on the acceptance of the constitu-
tion. There is an abundance of votes
t' ,)ass the hill in the senate if the
amendment is accepted by the com-
mittee. It would mean nothing more
nor less than statehood for Oklahoma
and Indian Territory, which coMld be
secured by a separation of the Ham-
ilton bill and a passage of the McGuire
bill. ■
Democrats who all along have op-
posed the union of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory are now willing *>
accept joint statehood for these ter-
ritories.
A few democratic senators would
vote against joint statehood for Okla-
homa and Indian Territory, but oppo-
sition would be numerically small and
half-hearted. Senator DuBois, speak-
ing for the democrats said:
"There isn't the slightest prospect
for the passage of the Hamilton bill
in its present form. A big majority
in the senate is against it. The dem-
ocrats will consent to the admission of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one
state. The bill could pass admitting
Oklahoma alone or admitting Okla-
homa and Indian Territory as one
state or New Mexico as one state."
"Would the Foraker amendment be
satisfactory to the democrats "
"I am not authorized to say, but I
think it would."
If the Hamilton bill is amended in
the senate by permitting Arizona to
vote separately, it will meet with ac-
tive opposition in the house. Hamil-
ton, the author of the bill. Is thorough-
ly disgusted at the manner in which
the senate is treating his pet meas-
ure. Senators are using it to stop
gaps and kicking it about in a most
unfeeling manner. Speaker Cannon
has never favored statehood and
would not be grieved if the measure
fell through.
STOCK BREEDERS' SESSION
Ninth Annual Meeting oftheImproved
Stock Breeders' Association
OKLAHOMA CITY: In this city
last week tho ninth annual session of
the Oklahoma Improved Breeders' as-
sociation was held. This was by far
tho most, successful meeting ever
held by tho organization. Not only
was the printed program carried out,
but breeders of note from other states
were present and took part in tho
mcriings. Many excellent papers
were read, which will prove helpful to
the breeders In their work. Tho next
meeting will be held at Stillwater at
a time to be fixed by the executive
committee. The officers for the rn-
milii£ year are: E. E. Brac!.t, Okla
j huma City, president; J. A. Alderson,

I: olved. That wo felicitate thi3
a- (>ci.:iion on its rapid and healthful
I ad\ metmcnt In the great cause for
j which it wai organized, during tho
| i last year, and express the hope that
j every member will make it a part of
l ills 1 ■ in< s to see to it that this en-
] thuslasm does not lag.
| That we are in favor of the passage
of the statehood bill now pending in
j iho I'nited States senate, and sug-
I l'oki that this association Immediately
j send a telegram to that body urging
its passage at this session.
The continued use of inferior breed-
ing stock, and "specially of the scrub
sire. Is admittedly detrimental to tho
best interests of the live stock in-
dustry and stands in tho way of the
| general and effectual improvement of
the same, and.
Whereas, The breeding of improved
llvo stock is a benefit to the com-
munity at large, and
Whereas, In the assessment of llvo
stock for the purpose of taxation, pure
blooded stock is assesed at much
higher rates of valuation than are
scrubs and inferior grades of stock,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That w .^commend a
law be enacted whereby taxes upon
breeding animals of pure blood and
approved standard shall be remitted
for a definite term of ten years, and,
be it further
Resolved That we favor the en-
actment of a law whereby the inef-
ficient service of al scrubs sires, or
sires of unapproved standard as indt
viduals. be limited to the flocks,
herds or stables of their respective
owners.
That we respectfully urge the leg-
islature to amend the present quar
atnine law by extending the terri-
torial line around the entire territory
and also recommend that provisions
be made for the employment of suf-
ficient force of inspectors to properly
care for the demands of the entire
territory.
That wo commend the enterprise of
two of our members—Mr. E. Bracht
of Iklahoma Cltv and Mr. H. R.
H -res of Glencoe—who exhibited
their stock at the great World's fair,
winning great honors for themselves
and for the territory at large.

The World
of Medicine
Recognizes Grip
as Epidemic
Catarrh."
Medical Talk.
LB
La Grippe is Epidemic Catarrh.
1 T spares no class or nationality. The
* cultured and the ignorant, the aris-
tocrat and tho pauper, the masses and
the classes are alike subject to la grippe.
None are exempt—all are liable.
Grip is well named. The original
French term, la grippe, has been bhort-
cned by the busy American to read
"grip."
Without intending to do so, a new
word has been coined that exactly
describes the case. As if some hideous
griant with awful grip had clutched us
in its fatal clasp.
Men. women, children, whole towns
and cities are caught in the baneful
grip of a terrible mouster.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has
the grip got you? If so, read the fol-
lowing letters.
These testimonials speak for them-
selves as to the efficacy of Peruna in
cases of la grippe or its after-effects:
A Southern Judge Cured.
.To jge Horatio J. Goss, Hartwell, Ga.,
■writes:
"Some five or six years ago I had a
very severe Hpell of grip which left me
with systemic catarrh.
"A friend advised me to try your
Pemna, which I did and was immedi-
ately benefited and cured. Tho t hird
bottle completed the cure."—U. J. Goss.
Cured in a Tew Weoks.
Miss Jean Cowgii . Griswold Opera
House, Troy, N. Y., is the leading lady
with the Aubrey Stock Co. She writes
tho following:
"During the past winter of 1901, 1
suffered for several weeks from a severe
attack of grip, which left a . rious
catarrhal condition of the throat and
head.
"Some one suggested Peruna. As a
last resort, after wasting much timo
and money on physicians, I tried the
remedy faithfully, and iu a few weeks
was as well as ever."—Jean Cowgill.
Sived by Pe-ru-na.
Hon. James R. Guill is one of the old-
est and most esteemed ineu of Omaha,
Neb. He has done much to make it whai
it is, serving on public hoards a number
of times. He endorses Peruna in tho
following words:
"I am 68 years old, am l^ale and
hearty and l'eruna has helped irie attain
it. Two years ago I had la grippe—my
life was dispaired of. l'eruna saved
me."—J. R. Guill.
A civil service examination for
clerks, engineers, surgeons, draughts-
men and chainmen for Panama canal
work was held at Oklahoma City last
week. There were eighteen appli-
cants from the two territories.
NO PLEA FOR MERCY
Trial Jury Did Not Recommend That
Capital Punishment be Suspended
MUSKOGEE: For the first time
In four years a jury In a capital case
returned a verdict and did not recom-
mend that capital punishment be sus-
pended. The case was that of Joe
Vlckars, a negro, who. It is charged,
criminally assaulted Mrs. Bessie Dun-
bar, a white woman, near Wagoner,
last May. The jury returned a ver-
dict of guilty, without a recommenda-
tion for mercy, and Vlckars will re-
ceive the death sentence tills term.
Since Its formation, there have
been three executions In tli'i district.
The last one was in 1899, when Cyrus
A. Brown and Mathew Craig were
hanged for murder.
To Develop Ml and Coal
STERRETT: Knowing that this
town is situated In the oil and coal
region, a mass meeting was held,
which resulted in the preliminary
work of organizing a company to bore
for oil and coal. The prospect Is very
encouraging for both oil and coal. The
necessary committees have been ap-
pointed to finish the work of organ-
izing the company.

A Damage Suit to the Supreme Court
ARDMORE: J. L. Arnett, who was
Injured while in the employ of tho
Frisco at Sapulpa, and who secured
judgment in the lower court for 521,-
D00, which was reversed by the court
f appeals, states that the case will
he taken to the supreme court.
Tramps Driven to Indian Territory
MUSKOGEE: Indian Territory is
suffering from a scourge of tramps,
who h«ve been driven south by the
cold weather. Sixty were arrested
In this town and sentenced to worTc
nut fines on the streets. Recently a
larga number of tramps have been ar-
rested at Vinita and Tulsa and other
territory towns. Some of these men
have been brought in the country by
Take employment agencies which are
In operation in northern cities.
CONVICT REFUSED ADMISSION
Murderer Sent to Penitentiary and
Asylum Turned Down
GUTHRIE: Governor Ferguson
has Issued an order designating the
county jail In this city as the terri-
torial penitentiary In a certain case.
This was done in order to confine
Frank Ellis in the jail. Ellis was
convictcd of murder and sentenced to
four years in the penitentiary, but
when he was presented at the prison
at Lansing, Kan., he was refused ad-
mission on the ground that he was
insane. He was brought back to
Oklahoma, but was refused entranco
at the territorial sanitarium at Nor-
man because the authorities there
claimed he was not Insane.
To keep him in confinement In the
county jail here would make It easy |
for the friends of Ellis to release him
on a habeas corpus proceeding, henso
the only thing to do was to convert
the county jail into a penitentiary for
the accommodation of Ellis.
