Oklahoma City, June 4.—While not aa
bad as it could be, the flood situation here
means the Iosh of thousands of dollars.
Km I lro.ii! truffle for the past twenty-four
hours has been uiraost at a standstill. If
. it doM i.<>t tain more todt) however,
trains will be running a* usual by to-
morrow. "The "Katy" did not send out
any trains this morning. Their passen-
ger train and freight train due here la.-t
night from the east arrived a few minutes
lute but did not meet with any serious
interruption from the high .water. That
was. however, before the last big rain •
came. From the fact that the road is •
new, the water has washed the ground ;
from around the ties In several places0!# !
the Dale bottoms and other little wash-
outs prevented the sending of any trains ]
out this morning. The officials say they
can have all places repaired and will re-
sume traffic the same as usual in the
morning, if it does not rain any more.
The Choctaw train coming from Mem-,
phis that should get here at ti o'clock
this morning did not arrive until late this
evening. All other trains were mayn
hour, late Washouts in both directions
are reported on this line, but they are
not so serious that they cannot be ra-
pair« ti,-ao that traffic can be resumed in
the morning. The Choetaw Ik experienc-
ing the same trouble it always has be-
tween here and Shawnee, especially In the
bottoms around Dale. The road tyoases
the Canadian liver several times and
when tills stream is up its current Is so
*wlft that It ufd'Tinlties the Minutest
embankment within a short time.
The Frisco is sharing in the trouble
with the high water. From the fact that
their trains must start from the heart
of the flood region in the east it is a
hard proposition with them. All tralte*
nre late and some had to be abandoned,
as also Is the case with the Santa Fe.
In the city here, serious damage has
been (lone by the high water. The Inca-
pacity of the storm sewers to carry the
water away Is the cause of It, although
It was an unusual precipitation and under
ordinary circumstances the sewers would
probably have been adequate.
From Third street to the Choctaw
track.-, just north of First ,street, the
water stands all the way from twOofeet
deep to the first story of houses. Dur-
ing the heavy downpour of rain this
morning the police department and the
Are department were called to the scene
of the high water and with wagons as-
sisted the iloodbound occupants to safer
quart, s All the water of the north and
northeastern portions of the city drains
down Into the section mentioned, and a*
there Is no way for It to escape. It banked
up from the Choctaw tracks north to
Second and Third streets, from which
.nri.-fK- an abrupt Incline. Before daylight
this morning workmen were out digging
ditches and cleaning out storm sewers so
that water could lie run off, and by this
evening, if nothing happens, the water
will have disappeared. During tjre heavy
downpour last night the offices of the
police department which are In the base-
ment of the city building were flooded
and water stood nearly six Inches deep
on th<v floors. It was necessary to move
everything upstairs where they remain
for the present.
• This afternoon the J. I. Case Machinery
company makes the statement that their
loss occasioned by the high water here
will amount to about $25,000. Not long
ago a solid train of threshing machines
was received by the rase company and
stored in the basement of the company's
building. The basement la full of water
and the machines are covered. #

Special Dispatch to the State Capital
Muskogee, I. T.. June 4 —That Chief
Porter of the Creek nation has his
heart set upon recognition In the new
state it not denied by even himself.
He says, however, that he is not to be
classed with those who announce their
candidacy before statehood is provided
for.
"No, we Indians do not make cam-
paigns in that way," baid Chief Porter
in commenting on the situation, "but
we'll be here when the time comes, at
least part of us. These fellows can
make their race now, but. when ihe
right is given to the people of this ter-
ritory to elect officers, they will meet
with opposition."
Chief Rogers of the Cherokee nation
talks In a similar way. Both he and
Porter arc very popular with the In-
dians and either would be hard to de-
feat in the northern part of the ter-
ritory. Both are fine specimens of
manhood and havo a commanding
presence. Green McCurtain of the
Choctaw nation and P. S. Mosely of
the Ohickasaws, will also very likely
be on the spot when there is really
anything to ask.
BUILDING AT. MUSKOGEE
NUMBER OF STRUCTURES IN THE
COURSE OF ERECTION.
Special. Dispatch to the State Capital.
Muskogee, I. T., June 4.—There are
at present five three story brick struc-
tures under course of erection in this
city and three more contracted for.
Never in the course of the history of
the town was there such a building
boom as there is at present During
the summer a $30,000 opera house is
to be erected and plans have been
drawn for a large number, of brick
business houses. Everything in the
way of new buildings is of a substan-
tial nature; a one-story structure is
a thing of the past.
There are now nearing completion
in this city a magnificent four-fctory
brick with a basement and a flve-
story with a basement. There is not

wards bought an mprovsuieu.-uu vuc . tire Indian Territory.

The contestant, however, claimed
that he had for a long time been the
owner of the land under the old cus-
toms of the Indian; hence the con-
test. While the land or the town will
never under the present condition of
affairs amount to much, this partic-
ular allotment is looked upon as one
of the most desirable in this section
of the country for the reason that a
perfect natural site for a mill, which
can be operated by a water power of
great force, exists there. •
The scenery on Blue river at and ]
near Belton is conceded to be unsur-
passed anywhere in. the entire South-
west. The stream at Belton spreads
out over a large fiat surface, and
no less than seven distinct branches j
are crossed in a space of a few hun- j
dred yards. Different branches of
the stream disappear and run under
•ground for quite a distance reappear-
ing again in distances varying from
a few yards to many hundred yards
down stream.

tion at. the .present time. In add!
ti'on to these, two large two-story
"buildings for school purposes are be-

CREEK PAYMENT
BELIEVED IT WILD BE RESUMED
IN A SHORT TIME.
Special Dispatch to the State Capital.
Muskogee, I. T.. June 4.—The In-
dian agent has not yet received in-
structions from the interior department
in regard to the manner of procedure
in preparing a new roll for the loyal
Creek payment, but is expecting a let-
ter at any time In a telegram receiv-
er a few days ago the secretary stated
that the pay roll would have to be
made over upon 'the basis of the Mc-
laughlin roll. This will require very
few changes, however, since only that
part of the distribution affecting wid-
ows. or those who inherit from wid-
ows of loyal Creeks will have to be
changed.
Just what will be done in regard to
that portion of the appropriation
which was paid out last week is a
matter of some anxiety. Before the
ipa^ment was stopped about $56,000
has been disbursed. It is believed
however, that very few of those who
lmve already received their money will
he affected by the decisions of the
comptroller of the treasury. If this
supposition is correct, the distribution
so far as made was alright.
"There is still about |i>4 5.000 to be
distributed. It is impossible to toll just
•when the payment will he resumed, but
it is probable that it will require only
a few days to correct the roll, when
the agency has the authority to begin.
Plants
Recent e*perimentf conducted by most
eminent scientist*, prove that lijjpht is a
great remedial agent ; it is essentially
Nature's agent. It may be either sun-
light or electric light, but it has a de-
cided effect in helping nature to banish
disease and restore health. Other scien-
tific men have proved that oxygea elec-
trifies the heart and can prolong life.
The people on this earth ai* siMreptible
to some laws which jfoverti plant life. A
plant canuat be successfully grown in the
dark. A man is seldom healthy and strong
who lives in the dark or in sunless rooms.
After all, Nature's ways are found to be
the best Nature's remedies are always
best for eradicating disease, and by this we
mean a medicine made of roots and herbs.
They are assimilated iu the stomach and
taken up by the blood and are, therefore,
the most potent meaus which can be em-
ployed for the regaining of lost, health.
Dr. R. V. Pierce, consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
at Buffalo, N Y., in many years of exten-
sive practice, found that he could pin his
faith to an alterative extract of certain
plants and roots, for the cure of all blood
diseases. This" he called Dr. Pierce's
Gulden Medical Discovery. Containing no
alcohol uor narcotics, entirely vegetable,
this " Discovery " make* rich red blood and
is a powerful tissne-bultder, giving the tired
business man or waman renewed strength
and health. Rapidly growing school gtrls
and hoys often show Impoverished hlood
by the pimples or boils which appear on
face or neck. To eradicate the poisons
from the blood, and feed the heart, lungs
and stomach on pure blood, nothing i*
so good as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Don't allow the dealer to insult your in-
telligence by offering hia own blood rem-
edy to you instead of this well -known
preparation of Dr Pierce's. Ten chances

Special Dispatch to the Stale Capital
Bartlesville, I. T., June 4.—Contrary
to gneral expectations a iqontli ago, a
heated political campaign is going on
in the Osage reservation. James Rtg
Heart has been chief of the Osages
some yearn, and was th& unanimous
choice of the tribe, and it was gener-
ally thought he would lie re-elected.,
But >he recently announced that h^e did
not oare to have th© responsibility any
more.
The tribe «*}voral months ago, sent
a delegation to Washington to confer
with the Indian commissioner about
ending tribal relations. Nlnely-flve p«r
cent of tho 1,890 members of the tribe
about evenly divided between full-
bloods and mixed bloods, desire 4llot'-
ment of the l,800i000 acres and $8,-
(100,000 of tribal funds as soon as it can
be accomplished. Each member of
the tribe would get 1,000 acres, or fts
equivalent in allotment, but the oil
and minerals, aside from the grazing
lands, would enter largely into the
wealth of the Osagea. ,
The Osageij are, perhaps, the most
thoroughly educated of all the tribes in
the United States, the per cent of illi-
teracy being only about 10 per cent—
in their own language of course—and
there are a great many of the members
who carefully study the political and
economic relations of the tribe. There
is more method and less deed re to
graft among them than most any oth-
er Indians. *
Olohohwahlah was nominated by one
faction last Saturday as its candidate
and Black Dog has since been nom-
inated as an opposing candidate for
chief for 'the next fiscal year. The
election will be held within the next
two weeks.
Black Dog is about 45 years of age,
and is a natural orator, after the style
of Black Hawk and tno noted Indians
of the last century. He represents the
policy of the Big Heart regime. Olo-
hi*hwahlah is about 65 years of age,
a progressive man in every way, and
has a strong following. In fact, the
strength of the two factions se.-ms tu
be about equal!? -Both candidates live
in the southeastern part of the res-
ervation, in the Hominy district and
neither can speak or read EnVilsh.
