Hay shipping is a great and grow-

his running expenses for the year.

say that no healthier climate can be

ritory, and many fine blooded animals
are finding their way into this stock-
man's paradise.
Another Natirnal J'ark.
The goverrment proposes to estab-
lish a national park in the Indian
country, something after the order
of the "national jatk at Hot Springs,
Aikansas. The jaik will be lo-
i at< d near the tiwn of Sulphur in
the Chickasaw nation and will take in

of Ramona and the development of

Was Well Worth Seeing.
Sells & Downs big combined cir-
cuses proved a drawing card forChil-
licothe. They brought tbe biggest
crowd to this city that has been here
in years. They saw a brilliant spec-
tacle in the street parade, and a tent
perfoi macce that w as surpassing in
its merits and which possessed many
uniquely excellent features.
'Ihe Sells & Downs Show is run on
business principles, and does not dis-
appoint the people. Witliin a few
minutes after 10:30 the parade made
its appearance, and there was a rush
for points of vantage to get a good
view of the riders, the bands, the
clowns aud the animals. The parade
was all that could have been expected
and drew forth many erclamations of
interest, amusement and admiration.
Several good bands made the air
melodious. Claiming special atten-
tion were a dozen lady riders, very
handsomely costumed in white satin
and blot mers, and riding astride.

tructures and free gas for one year.
In return for this concession Mr.
Houck agrees to establish a plant
here which will give employment to
no fewer than seventy-five workmen
and carry a monthly payroll ranging
from seven to eight thousand dollars.
It will be-a twelve-pot factory and
manufacture window and plate glass.
About thirty three, four and five-
room dwellings will be required for
the aocoinmodation of the workmen
and their families. The glass com-
pany proposes to buy lots and build
these itself. A special meeting of the
Commercial Club was called Thurs-
day night to receive Mr. Houck'a
proposition and give it consideration.
The meeting was quite well attended
and the proposition was received
with favor. In fact it is generally re-
garded as the best that has ever been
made by any glass company. The
necessary ground car be secured and
the required buildings erected, it is
believed, for approximately $4000.
At the meeting of the Commercial
Club it was decided to call a mass
meeting of the residents and property
owners of the town for Friday night
to discuss the proposition further and
to take final action in the matter.
Mr. Houck states that his company
stands ready to moveupon the ground
at once and begin immediate oppera-
tions, provided bis proposition is ac-
cepted. It has been suggested that
the bridge fuDd be transferred to a
factory fund and the same apnlied in
securing grounds and buildings for
the Uouck company, and the plan is
approved by many of the subscribers.

Developing the Territory.
H. C. Frick, the big steel, iron and
coke man of the cast, has such un-
bounded faith in the Indian Territory
that he is investing a million or mote
of money btie. He is putting it iu
railroads and coal lands. Mr. Frlck
is backing the Fort Smith and West-
ern road, now builuing from Fort
Smith westward through the coal
fields and is gobbling up all the coal
land either by lease or by contract
along the line that is obtainable. He
proposes to open up some rich coal
fields and enter the tight for the con-

conditions are found to be favorable
for a colony they will purchase lands
and remove to that country. Mr.
Woodward and'hls party are to make
a .full investigation and report on
their return.—Coffeyville Record.
The Passing of the Indian.
Reverend J. M. Cromer, pastor of
Grace Luthern church, of Kansas
City, delivered a lecture recently on
"The Passing of th« Indian' , In
which he said:
"My sympathyhas always been with
the Indian. From my earliest days 1
learned the story of 'Poor Lo' and no

time the patient has been doing nicely
and the injury healing as rapidly as
could be expected.—Nowata Adver-
tiser.
Great snake Dance.
Report reached here a few days ago
that a great snake dance is being car-
ried on on Long prairie, in Going-
snake district, in which a large "dum-
my" was hung in tfligy which they
called the Dawes commission. This
dummy was beajen, kicked, stabbed
and shot to pieccs, when the commis-
sion was declared dead to .all intents
and pnrposes, damned aud sent to
purgatory. It is said that the parties
engaged are white men haters, whom
they are urged by white men and half
breeds to believe we are hereto cheat
"Po Lo" out of their land and prop-
erty. The leaders are simply satiat-
ing their ungodly greed and don*t
care who sinks so they swim.—Stil-
well Standard.
£ao and Foxe s Bar Negroes.
It is stated that the chiefs of the Sac
and Fox Indian tribes will icject all
bids, no matter how munificent, made
by negroes on the Indian inherited
lands now being sold. When the res-
ervation was opened several years
ago, the Indians called on the militia
to eject all negroes therefrom. The
cause of the alleged hatred between
them is not known, except that it dates
back to the time when these tribes
were living on the west shore of Latce
Michigan. No marriages have ever
been made between these tribes and
negroes.
