A temporary restraining order was
Issued by Judge Beauohamp Sa/uiy
day on the application of Flnsrfy
Babk restraining the Cooper Brother*
from further construction of tne
bank's new building. The complain-
ant charges that the contractors are
not putting up the building In so-
oordance with the plans and specifica-
tions. The architect who drew the
plana was here last week, and the
Baok served notice on the contract*
ors of the defects and ordered them
to desist from further work. They
paid no attention, however, to the
notice, and on the date mentioned
above, the Bank, through its attorney
Senator Masilngale, presented the
application to Judge Beauchamp who
taaued the restraining order and
the bearing for the 26th Inst.

More than six months ago the citi-
zens of Cordell' conoelved the plan
of inducing the Reformed Church to
erect and maintain an academy at
this place for the training of tbelr
pupils In Oklahoma, and If they would
make the school open to all denomlna
Hons they would give the sum of five
thousand dollars and a twenty acre
track of land for a site. This proposi-
tion was submitted to the secretary
of the Board o« Education of the
church, and a committee composed of
the secretary and two members of the
New York church visited Oklahoma
early In the year to look over the
various towns In which they bad
churches located and to report to the
Board. This Board at Its recent
meeting decided to locate a school In
Oklahoma, and selected this city as
the place. The letter advising our
people of this action was addressed
to Robert Steele who was designated
by the mass meeting to make the
communication to the Board, and Is
as follows:
As the meeting of our Board jes-
terday It was resolved that the Okla-
homa academy be located at Cordell.
The Board has authorized me to en-
deavor to raise 5000 which with 85000
pledged by the citizens of Cerdell is
to be used for the erection of s school
building. The Classis of Parsmus
has recommended that the Board of
education endeavor to raise 82.500 in
addltloa to its regular work, lor the
establishment and matnteance of In-
struction, In the school. These are all
evidences of good will and confidence
which will be valuable at the coming
session of the General Synod the first
week In June. The decision of the
Synod Is to be our Rubicon. Mean
time will you Please send me every
thing In the way of Information that
I could use to advantage about wes-
tern Oklahoma in general and Wash-
ita county and Cordell In particular
Wnen you ask people for money they
want to know a thousand things
about the place of investment and Its
surrouadlngs. I think you have a
booklet about Cordell. Could ynu
spare half-dozen of those? Will four
or five of your representative men
kindly let us know which site you
deem the best for the purpose of
erecting a school-building, with your
reasons, that we may settle tnls
point as soon as possible? If we
could make title before the meeting
of the Synod that would doubtless
be an advantage With be«t regards
to the Domlne and all our good
friends in Cordell,
Very "sincerely yours,
JOHN G. GEBHARD, C S
Robert Steele, Esq.. Sec'y, etc.,
Cordell, Okla.
A meeting of our cittzens was called
to meet at court house Monday night
to talk over the plans of raising the
85000 as the subscription list taken
last winter was made upon the basis
o fthe Chureh putting In 815000 with
our 85000, while under thh new plan
there will be only a 810000 structure
erected on the out start. This maj
seem to some to be rather a limited
way to start an Institution of the
magnitude that all believe this may
one day be, but it is the belter plan
The writer took his first cross-coun-
ty ride to the town of Mt View Friday
behind < ne of our spanking livery
teams—that is, we had to spank tlie
Cayuse plugs now and then-and then
some. We were without guide or
guide book and missed the regular
beaten path at times, and we conclud-
ed we met every unbridged canon be-
tween the two towns. We noted
that every where on the trip the farm-
ers were out In the field with from
one to three teams preparing the
lands for the coming crops The
lateness of the rains has made the
planting late in consequence, but
notwithstanding this there will be a
larger acieage of both cotton aud corn
planted this year than ever In the
history of the county Much of the
land Is already planted, and while it
Is yet young, the corn looks thrifty.
We were impressed with the solidity
:f the town on account of the com-
pactness of Its hullded area, and upon
the very sulstantlal business blocks.
They have several large stocks of
hardware and of general merchan-
dise, but the largest Institution by
odds and one that is not equalled per
haps, out side of Oklahoma City, is
the Stinson Lamberson Mercantile
Co., which conducts a department
store. They carry all lines and have
a store building that affords them
plenty of room for displaying their
Koods tastily. It has back of it plen
ty of capital and the Manager knows
It from start to finish. That it was
move In the right direction Is demon
sirated by their dividends.

The meeting then adjourned to

report of the several committees and
to take such further action as was
deemed expedient.
