Only $500 of Protection

pletely wiped out a portion of the
business part of Cushing, with a total
loss of $20,000. The fire started in a

meat market, Chris Machardo's res-
taurant. Marion Baton's barber shop.
Thomas Stratton's building, occupied
by Daniel Burke for hotel purposes.
Arthur Harris' building and Thomas
McGee's building, both unoccupied.

ware company's building and H. N.
Ferriu's business block were dam-
aged. With difficulty the business
blocks on the north side of the street
\\ere saved. There was only $500
insurance on the burned property.
Only One State
Says BeverSdge
"After your great statehood con\en-
tlon nt Oklahoma City last July, I
an amazed to hear of the scheme be-
ing manipulated in Indian Territory tc
create a separate state of that terri-
tory. From the information which
has been given me of that effort, how-
ever. I think I understand il. and I
do not think congress will be very
long In understanding it, either. Its
only possible effect could be to defeat
any kind of statehood. But those of
us who have been giving the best ef-
forts of the best portion of our lives
lo make Oklahoma a great state,
which she ought to be made, will do
our best to see that the Indian Terri-
tory scheme has no such effect. And
in our efforts to create 'Greater Okla-
homa' we shall hope and expect to
have the support of the people of
those two territories, so magnlilicent-
lyrepresented in the greal convention
held in Oklahoma City last July, a
convention historic in the number,
character, ability and representative
qaulity of its delegates."

CREEK SCHOOLS TO CLOSE
Council Makes No Provision for Them
After Tribal Dissolution
OKMULGEE: The Creek national
council, now In session here, has act-
ed In direct opposition to the recom-
mendation of Chief Pleasant Porter
i In his message that provision he made
lor continuing the Creek schools after
March 4, 1900, and has passed n bill
directing that the schools of the na-
tion be discontinued at that date.
This action has caused some surprise,
[ as the council in the nth«r Indian na>
i lions have enacted legislation provid-
ing for a continuation of their school
systems until some form of statehood
government Is secured. Unless the
Creeks change their attitude there
will be no school privileges in the
Creek nation after the fourth of next
March, unless the United States gov-
ernment steps in and bears the en-
tire expense of maintaining them un-
til statehood is secured.
The school system of the Creeks
embraces national, boarding and
neighborhood schools, with several
thousand pupils enrolled. Included
in this system are several charitable
Institutions, which must close with
(he expiration of tribal government.
The bill provides that when tho
schools shall have ceasen to exist,
with the dissolution of tribal govern-
ment, the residue of the Creek school
fund shall be used only as provided
for in the Creek supplemental agree-
ment, approved June ,10. 1902.
By the provision of the bill the of-
fice of superintendent of public in-
struction, the superintendents and
faculties for each of the national
hoarding schools, and all Instructors
employed to teach in the national,
| public or neighborhood schools,
where they are maintained by the au-
thority of the national council, shall
he declared vacant, and no salaries
| shall be drawn by any of these offl-
I cers or employes of the schools after
i March 4 190G.
J The principal chief, by the act of
| the council, is authorized to dispose
of all the movable property, including
furniture, of all the schools, after it
I is appraised, and tnrrt the proceeds
j over to the United States Indian
j agent, to be placed to the credit of
the Creek nation. Provision is also
made for the sale of all the school
buildings, with ^ he school land that
goes with them, in tb° same manner.
The bill finally provides that. $-15.-
! S81 be appropriated out of the school
funds for the maintenance of the
Creek schools from September 1. I90.~,
'i March 4. 1900. Of this amount
| 57.901 is to be used in support of the
neighborhood schools: the balance
ef the money is to be distributed as
follows: Wetumka boarding school,
$5,400; Eufaula high school. $5,400;
Tallahasse boarding school, $5,400;
Euchee boarding school. $4."20; Creek-

OKLAHOMA CITY: C. G. Jones,
chairman of the joint statehood com-
mittee, is in receipt of a letter from
benator Bcverk'.ge, in which he clear-
ly- set forth his-views on the slate-
hood question, and outlines the cam-
paign lijjon which citizens of the ter-
ritories may expect to get statehood.
Extracts from the letter follow:
"it Is a real pleasure to see strong
men In the territories of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory thus advocating
so effectively the cause of the people,
for the cause of the purple of the ter-
ritories Is joint statehood. Certainly
that is the only measure that can
pass either house of congress. The
scheme to make Indian Territory a
separate state cannot possibly suc-
ceed. It ought not to succeed. It
has not one redeeming argument be-
hind it. Oklahoma and Indian Terri-
tory were originally one. Let them
be made one again, and when thus re-
untied let them be admitted as one
splendid American commonwealth,
equal in size to Kansas and Nebraska
and other great western states, and
richer in resources than any common-
wealth of the southwest, excepting
only the magnificent state of Texas.
"The proposition to make Oklahoma
and Indian Territory one grand and
noble commonwealth received the
overwhelming support of both the
house and the senate at the last ses-
sion of congress. Gradually those
who favored the great measure grew
in numbers until we formed a heavy
majority, which was registered when
this subject was voted upon at. the
session. I assume that the ma-
jority will be as great as ever next
session—yes, greater, for

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold

will save not. only time, because it

Starches are put up In %-pound pack-
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch Is free from all injurious chem-
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has

ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
