TERRITORIAL NOTES
There is an artisian well at Mead,
Beaver county.
The senate has passed a bill estab-
lishing a supreme court for the Indian
Territory.
Rev. H. W. Witeacre was discharged
by Presiding Elder Wood, at the
Shawnee conference from the United
Brethren church.
The report of the comptroller of
currency shows that the ninety nation-
al banks in Oklahoma are in a flour-
ishing condition.
Oklahoma people are being warned
not to invest in wild cat oil companies
in Kansas, organized to rob small in-
vestors. It would be better for these
to invest in prospecting at home.
There were eighteen marriage li-
censes issued in Woodward county
last week. Rain or no rain there will
be a good crop of babies in Woodward
county.
How things change. When the
three buffaloes arrived the other day ,
at the Miller 101 ranch, near Bliss, to
be used on the 8th of May in inaugur-;
ating a Ponca Chief, the cowboys and !
Indians were chased all over the past-
ure by them, all scared to death.
Thirty years ago the Poncas played
with buffalo as with lambs.
In a leading editorial, the Stillwater
Gazette endorses the latest fad of
women wearing leather collars, cuffs
and belts. They are in all colors.
There's economy in it, as they can be
easily cleaned and will never wear out.
Secretary J. B. Thoburn, after con-
sulting the agrostologists, whoever
they may be, recommends the new
Turkestan alfalfa.
A majority of the citizens of the
Osage Nation have signed a petition
that the present allotment bill p- ss,
and W. T. Leahy, Frank Corndropper
and W. T. Mosier have gone to Wash-
ington with it.
This will not be a bad year for Ok-
lahoma after all. Tramps are coming
by the carload. Human fleas, like the
Others, never light on a dead dog.
Let it be said for Bill Cross that the
judgment found against him in the
court at Enid, due Hamilton Sawyer,
for nis congressional campaign, was a
debt neglected to be paid by his con-
gressional committee.
Earl Decker, of Chandler, a son of
Judge S. D. Desker, last week enlisted
at Kansas City for service in the navy
as yeoman, and he will probably go to
Pacific waters.
Governor Ferguson had a non-parti-
san reception when he spoke at Paw-
nee. Business houses were decorated,
city school children and national
Officers found Bob Newsome, a
horsethief. hidden in a trunk by Mrs.
Annie Cuttler, of Enid. The Officers
should have given Annie's horsethief
a chance to steal her trunk for her
love, as a reward.
Six boys and but one girl will gradu-
ate from the Ponca City High School
this year. An unusual occurance, as
there are usually more girls.
Miss Richardson has been chosen as
queen of Oklahoma City Day at the
St. Louis Exposition September 5.
The Lawton News-Republican cau-
tions the farmers not to lease too
much of their lands for oil prospecting
as the speculators might leave it un-
developed. It is a good caution.
Quite a tornado struck Pawhuska,
Osage nation, last Sunday and did con-
sidfi-.tbl- damage to the Catholic
sch'i i there and other buildings.
Mis. J. L. Douthitt, of Enid, shot
her husband ior bossing around with
other women. She is Spanish and
won't stand monkeying. A little more
Spanish would make it hot for many j
Oklahoma husbands.
FILL I PINO MIDGETS
BEAT TOM THUMB
A pair of Fillipino midgets, brother
and sister, both of whom are several
inches shorter than General Tom
Thumb or Franz Ebert, passed through
Kansas City on their way to the St.
Louis fair. At the depot and at the
Blossom house they were the observ-
ed of curious crowds. Neither can
speak a word of English and can un-
derstand but a few. They are, how-
ever, alert, and appear to be well able
to take care of themselves despite
their inability to converse.
Juan and Martina de la Cruz are
their names. The man is 29 years old
and twenty-nine inches in height; the
woman is two years older and two in-
ches shorter; Juan is active and inde-
pendent. When his manager announc-
ed the train which the pair was to
take fon St. Louis, the man midget
ran across the depot floor with surpris-
ing speed. The manager carried Miss
Martina. At the steps of the car Juan
rejected the proffered assistance of a
Pullman porter who attempted to lift
him to the car platform. He made
the ascent with agility, although the
length of his legs could be spanned
with the palm.
MA S PHYSICAL
CULTURE
The following may have been dedi-
cated by the Garber Sentinel to the
Guthrie Carnegie Athletic Club:
Sis takes calisthenics
Injun clubs and such,
Reaches f'r her toes ten times
'N' each times makes 'em touch;
Raises up her arms an'
Sweeps 'em all around,
Kicks her heels three times 'ithout
Ever touching th' ground.
Ma takes phs'cal culture
In th' washin' tub-
Gets th' clo's an' soaks 'em down,
'N' 'en begins to rub;
Makes ten thousand motions
Up an' down 'at way-
She gets lots o' exercise
In a workin' day !
Sis goes t' th' gym an'
Travels on the rings'
'N'en she takes a big deep breath,
'N'en she yells an' sings-
Says it's good f'r weakness
In th' lungs, an' say!
Tennis is her hardest work —
Ought to see ner play !
Ma she washes dishes,
'N'en she sweeps th' floor,
'N'en she scrubs the marble steps
Clear up t' th' door;
'N'en she chops th' kindlin'
When her work is through —
Has t' do it, 'cause pa, he's
Calisthenic, too !
Both takes phys'cal culture,
But I tell you this :
They's lot o' diff'unce 'tween th' kind
My ma takes, an' Sis !

INDIAN OPINION
ON THE CAPITAL
The following from Muskogee: The
visit of the Oklahoma City chamber of
commerce to Muskogee and its enter-
tainment by the Muskogee chamber of
commerce developad a condition of
affairs that is of political interest to
both territories. Neither of the two
big towns of the territories want the
state capital when statehood comes.
This was developed in speeches both
public and private and is based on the
theory that a political center is seldom
a commercial center and that a state
capital in no wise tends to make a
great city.
This does not signify, however, that
either of the two big towns will be
willing to allow the capital to go to
the other territory, though it must be
admitted that Oklahoma City would
rather see the capital located else-
where than in Guthrie, and that Mus-
kogee is not going to make any great
effort to locate it at South McAlester.
Either town would be willing to help
some smaller town in its respective
territory to get the capital location.
GRAIN BOARD MEETS
The territorial board of warehouse
commissioners met Saturday the first
time in five years. This is the board
that the members comprising it did not
know of its existence until a recent
examination of the records brought it
to light. They are preparing a system
of rules for the territorial grain in-
spector. The boord is compossed of
Territorial Secretary Grimes, Terri-
torial Auditor Baxter and Attorney
General Simon.
J. C ROBB. RESIGNED
At a meeting of the Kingfisher
County Fair Association, J. C. Robb,
vice president of the Capital National
bank here, resigned the presidency of
the association, and George Laing,
republican committeeman from King-
fisher county, resigned the secretary-
ship.
WALKER FIELDS WINS
In the oritorical contest of the Uni-
versity of Norman to select a repre-
sentative to the territorial contest,
J. Walker Field, of this city, won ov-
er Anderson and Casey. The contest
took place in the Norman opera house
before a large audience. The winning
orator was represented with the Reader
medal and a cash prise of $35 and will
represent the University at the Ter-
ritorial contest at Guthrie May 27.
