ita editor, ia in eloaa touch

is tha Territory, being especially
eloaa to tha Hob. Leo Bennett,
hence he epeaka by tha book.
"It may not be generally known
bnt it is nitvertheleee true that in
the general plan, aow being formu-
lated by the leading politicians,
for tha political reorganisation of
the eonthweet the Indian Territory
the hot weather with comfort in
spite of the fact that the Dawes
Commission is still with us.
Hon. M. Benton, of Missouri, is
one of the new members of the
Indian Affairs Committee of the
House. His appointment gives
especial satisfaction to the people
of the Territory as he is well book-
ed on the conditions prevailing
here and his honesty is unques-
tioned.
11a rk us down uguiufet single
statehood with Okluuouia. The
Indian Territory has everything to
ia to be considered as a factor.
And it might aa well be known,
however unpleaeaat the thought,
that the Territory is considered in
connection with Oklahoma. The
ilan, the formation of which has
leretofore been publiehe<l and is
well understood alreadjr in politi-
cal circle* in both Washington
and Oklahoma, is to make one
state out of tha two territories
and secure thereby two additional
senators. The Republicans who
head this movement an confident
that the new state would be aafely
a Republican stronghold. The
Democratic |>oliticians are not so
certain of this and would offer lit-
tle objection to the admission of
the new state, believing it possi-
ble to swing tbe same iuto the
Democratic column. As the po-
litical complexion of the newlv
admitted state would be uncertain
and as each of the great parties
would believe the same to be de-
batable ground, the migration of
the Territory toward statehood
would in all probability not be
balked in the national legialature.
The plan is a feasible one, and its
consumatiou may be nearer than
we anticipate.
While the people of the five civ-
ilised tribes are almost unanimous-
ly opposed to annexation with Ok-
lahoma for statehood purpose, it
nevertheless is seriously question-
able if their wishes or protests
would avail much when the time
for creating the new state comes,
or when the power:- at Waahing-
ton have decided that the time is
ripe. The idea of single statehood
for the Indian Territory is hooted
at by the politicians of Oklahoma,
Kansas aua Missouri. It ia also
looked upon as both impracticable
and impossible by the leading po>
litical lights of thecountrv at large
-aside, of course from the Indian
Territory. Sectional prejudice
would undoubtedly arise should
an effort be made to create two
states out of the original Indian
country. The East is alert und
watches with a jealous eye the
ascendency of the West. They
would scarcely relish the idea of
four more western senators being
admitted on the floor regardless
of their probable political stand-
ing. Single admission would also
in all probability mean a division
of senatorial honors and little.par-
ty advancement could he hoped
for as the addition would be divi-
ded aud no real gain acquired.
Hence, as the western promoters
of the political scheme and the
East as a unite would be in favor

Robbed and Tied Up.
Mrs. Ann Deere is a widowed ln-
diau woman living about four
miles southwest of towu. Living
with her is her ward and kinsman.
Willie Bruner, who has care of her
affairs. Mrs. Deere has been re-
fiuted as very wealthy, though she
ive* as if she were in very ordinary
circumstances. Recently she lost
a small deposit by robbery. Last
Friday night she was again the
victim of robbers, but this time
they treated her with typical high-
way rudeness, and no doubt left
the old lady blessing the banks
that only a few days before accept-
ed a large deposit for her. Early
after night four masked men ap-
proached the house. Two went in
while two stood guard at the door.
Mrs. Deere, Willie Bruner and
Oliver South, who was present, were
tied, and then the the two robbers
with a sledge hammer, brought for
the purpose, broke iuto a trunk and
took from it what money und
check* they could find. Fortu-
nately Mrs. Deere had bsgau to
patronixe the banks insteadof her
trunk, and had just sent away
*6.000. The robbers got *00.30,
some check* and a certificate of
depoaite for *2,500. Bruner'* pis-
tol was alao taken. Some Mexican
coin was among the money taken.
During the search one of the rob-
bers either by accident or to in-
timidate, let hi* piatol go off. Af-
ter the robbery, the robber* left
the entire party of victima tied up.
After aereral hour* of effort
Bruner managad to relaaaa hlmeelf
and untied the other partiee. Then
he gave the alarm. The robber,
were trucked toward tha Seminole
nation. They www thought to be

MUSIC AND THE HAIR.
^ The Tahlequah Arrow says: The
Eufaula Journal recently used the
famous interrogative. "Where are
we at?" as the caption of an editor-
ial attempting to locate the status
of the five tribes after the Indian
appropriation bill legislation goes
into effect. The answer is dead
easy. W • are aimply in a h- 1 of

In a recent acieutiOc assemblage a
disiTissiou took place upon the inttn-
ence of sleep in akin diseases. One of
the gentlemen who took part stated in
his criticism of the paper which had
been read that one might aa well talk
of the influence of mnsir npou the
growth of the hair. It would seem that
the suggestion of a possible connection
thus thrown out in a jesting way liaa
been taken srriously. At least a corre-
spondent of Le Temps has made tbe
discovery that music of certain kinds
does in reality prevent the hair from
falling, while that produced 1 y certain
instruments has the most disastrous ef-
fects in causing rapid development of
baldness. He finds that while composers
are as prone as others to lose their hair
at an early age those who play their
compositions ui*>u the piano preserve,
if tbey do not acquire, a luxuriant
growth of hair. Uu the other hand,
wind instruments, and especially th#
cornet and trombone, are fatal to hir-
sute adornmeut. The violoncello ami
the harp keep the hair in pretty well, but
the Ante cannot be depended npon to
preserve a strong growth after Uk f i-
eth year of age.
