ment under the special dispen-
sation of the federal government
granting cattle te go to territory
pastures after dipping, between
April 1 and May 15, will cease,
but if it is discovered that there
are more cattle to go. further
arrangements will probably be
made by the United States gov
ernment. He 'thinks, however,
that by the middle of May the
majority of the stuff for the ter
ritory pastures will have been
moved and there will be no ad-
ditional legislation on the matter
to allow the cattle below the
quarantine line to go above the
line.

Play Ball.
The ball season has opened up
and both the first and second
teams of Madill have played
some games and made several
winnings. When you go about
anything, if it is worth doing
do it well. If the boys of
Madill are going to play ball, we
want to see them win.

News came to Madill Monday
that the full-blood Chickasaws
of the 8hay and Isom Springs vi
oinity were having meetings and
preparing to attack the whites
and all the Indians that would
not join them. U.8.Marshal Ev-
ans went immediately to the
points where the trouble
was said to be brewing to see if
there was any danger of any
white scalps being taken.
He found that there had been
meetings and that the Indians
who were participating in the
meetings wanted the condition of
things brought about by the
treaty of 1860. They wanted all
lands for the Indians, all fences
removed, in facta reverting to
the old order of things before the
white man came. Some Indians
report that their lives have been
threated and that their property
has been threatened with fire if
they did not the band.
The marshal could not find the
leaders or learn much, as the
order is a secret one.
Some intelligent and influen-
tial Indians are instructing the
few ignorant ones of the folly or
the error of their way and it is
expected that nothing more will
be heard of the affair. There is
not enough of the Indians of this
class to do any thing. Most of
our Indians are civilized and in-
telligent men and women.
QuUe a little amunition and a
few guns were procured, but
that is no indication of danger as
they are not bold enough to use
them.
The thing of the Indian getting
on the war path is no more, nor
does Sitting Bull's spirit yet
live.
Through inter-marriage the In-
dian will become civilized, and
this is his ultimate fate.

Kingston, April 10.—There is
great excitement at Shay, six
miles southeast of here, tonight.

bloods near that inland postof-

excited.

Cattle Moving to Territory.
From the present outlook there
will be 250,000 head of Texas
cattle pastured in the territory
oountry. This estimate is based
upon the reports of different
railroads that reach the pasture
country.
Live 8took Agent Conway of
Santa Fe said that his road
will take from Texas into the
Indian country approximately
75,000 head of cattle from var-
ious sections of the state, and
that the movement dailyfis quite

Services were held Sunday by
Episcopalians in the Methodist
churoh, Rt. Rev. Bishop F. K.
Brooks, of Guthrie, Oklahoma,
officiating, assisted by Rev. Dr.
Juny, of Ardmore. The rite of
confirmation was administered to
a class of three candidates and
the Holy Communion was cele
brated. The Bishop's sermon
on ' 'The Ancient Rite of Con-
firmation," was listened to with
rapt attention by a large congre
gation. During the servioes
the choir, consisting of Mrs.
Sam McDonald, soprano; Miss
McClintock, alto; Messrs. Mc
Donald and Ingersoll, tenors;
Messrs. Herron and Duncan,
bassos, and Miss Maude Hen-
shaw, organiot, rendered some
beautiful selections. Mrs. Sam
McDonald's offertory solo, "Free
as a Bird," being especially ap-
preciated.
Too much praise cannot be
given to Rev. Goodloe and his
congregation for the use of their
church and assistance rendered
during the service. The bishop
expects to return and hold ser-
vices again at an early date.
TWO DAYS SESSION AND GOOD
WORK DONE,
The Missionary Institute of
the Methodist church of the Ard-
more distriot oonvened in Madill
Tuesday, April 12 and remained
in session for two days. It was
conducted by Rev. W. F. Dunk-
le of the Methodist church and
Missionary Secretary of the Ind
ian conference. There were
about a score of Methodist min
isters present and there was
splendid work done. The na-
ture of the institute was a study
of the missionary work being
csnducted in China, Japan, Ko-
rea, Cuba, Mexico and Brazil.
Ti\e attendance by the people of
the town was not very good.
Foreign missions are all right,
but it seems that a little more
home missionary work would not
hurt.
J. M. Hoard, father of the
Hoard boys here, returned to hiB
home at Denton, Texas, Thurs-
day after a several days visit
here.
M. Scott and Bud Hoard was

A telephone pole broke off at
its base Wednesday and fell with
George Wiley, the Tishomingo
Telephone Company's lineman,
and came near hurting him se-
riously. He saved himself from
being hurt by jumping from the
falling pole. He only got a
good shaking up.
