SERVANTS IN 2,000 A D.
Will Not Be Needed—Labor-Saving
Devices in Home*.
The thread-bare servant problem
will have become a thing of the pa.4t
by 2000 A. D. Domestica seem to be
necessary nowaday* to supplement
the deficiencies of some housewives,
and owing to the Incompleteness In
the construction of many houses. The
tendency of modern apartment houses
is to minimize work so that no serv-
ants will be needed.
The homes of the future will prob-
ably be warmed in the wa*Is from
some power-ger.ert.tlng station. Air
will enter through proper tub' s in the
walls which will *arm the h'mse and
will capture the dust, and i•' will be
spun out again by simple devices.
Scientific builders are now planning
to do away with the walls meeting
the floors at. right angles, as by
rounding off the angles between wall
and floor, sweeping and cleaning will
be lightened
If a window Is cleaned hurriedly
and left wet, it dries In spots, and
dirt is left in solution. By fie touch
ing of a button and turning on of
water that contains a solvent, water
would be forced down the window
panes from pin holes in a pipe above,
into a groove below, and 'Lis wouM
be followed by pure rain water, and
window cleaning would be done "sans
domestiques."
And within a few years, perhaps,
the French scientists will have fur
ther perfected the taking of nourish
ment and enjoying whole meals from
a few drops, or a few pellets, from
two to tnree vials, thus doing away
with chefs, and the elaborate part of
housework.
HIS ELOQUENCE WAS LOST
Lawyer's Efforts Weakened by Witty
Story of His Opponent.
A certain excellent but loud-voiced
lawyer was addressing a jury. Fin-
ally. in a perfect hurricane of sound
he closed his argument and sat down.
The jury were impressed, and the
other side was in danger.
The lawyer opposite had a sad, wat
ery eye and a hatchet-like face. Ho
sat patiently through the tumultuous
gusts of his friend, and after th i
reverberations of the closing crash hi
rose quietly from his seat.
"As I listened to the thunderous ap
peals of my learned friend," he said
addressing the Jury in a drawlinr,
tone, "I recalled an old fable. You
will remember, gentlemen, how the
lion and the ass agreed to slay the
beasts of the flela and divide the
spoil. The ass was to go into the
thicket and bray and frighten the ani-
mals out, while the lion was to lie
in wait and kill the fugitives -as fast
as they appeared. The ass sought the
darkest part of the jungle and. lift
ing up his awful voice, brayed and
brayed and brayed. The ass was
quite intoxicated with hib iproar. and
thought he'd return and fee what tb>
lion thought of it. With a light hea."
he wi at ba< k and found th • ll<..
ing doubtfully about him.
"'What do you think of that?' said
the exultant ass. 'Don't you think I
scared 'em?'

Washington Official telegraphic ad-
vices to the interior department an-
nounce that the supplemental agTee-
fnent between the government an<! th-
Choctaw an-1 Chickasaw Indian tribes
has i»een ratified by an overwhelming
majority by those nations. The sup-
plemental treaty makes modifications
and additions to th • original agree-
ment in a number of important matters.
It provide* a sale of the coal lands
which aggregate half a million acres at
public auction. Ther- will be no leases
of coal or asphalt lands. It also segre-
gates not over 640 acres for Sulphur
Springs under government control;
establishes citizenship c art to re try
citizenship cases trie 1 in 18^; provides
for the enrollment of all Mississippi fnll
blood Choctaws and of the descrndents
of all Mississippi Choctaws who have
receive ! patented lands; and authorizes
the Chickasaw freedmen to institute
proceedings in the court of claims to
determine their rights.
COURT CITIZENSHIP CASES
Indian* Will Try to I'rrvrut Participa-
tion In .\ llotinent
South McAlester: Attorneys for
the Choctaw and Chickasaw nation*
filed a suit in the Choctaw-Chickasaw
Citizenship Court to determine the
status of certain court citizens. The
supplemental treaty giving this newly
created court jurisdiction of the citizen-
ship cases already passed uj>on by the
federal courts was ratified and it in
stated that there will be no delay in re-
opening the cases. In the petition if is
prayed that judgments Ik* nullified on
two grounds, one that both nations
wi re not made defendants in the suit in
which citizenship was won and tin-
other that the federal judges had no
right to try the cases de nova, their
jurisdiction being merely the revision of
the decision by the Dawes Commission.
There are over 2,(XX) so-called court citi-
zens and the nation will try to prevent
any of them from taking part in the
distribution ol the thbual 1 amis and
lands.

Guthrie: In his rejiort to the gover-
nor and secretary of the interior Attor-
ney General Robberts of Oklahoma,
states that the limitation sunt umling
the admission of foreign corj>orations in
Oklahoma is too lax and that not suffi-
cient protection is given to the i**ople
from such corporations formed in oth» r
state*; also that the insurance laws in
some instances allow all foreign compa-
nies to do business in Oklahoma with-
out proper guarantee of their ahilitv

states that the free range law, jwrmit-
ting cattle to run at large in Western

tion and trouble and should !>•■ amend* <1.
Guthrie: A deal is pending between
the United State*. Gypsum < ompain of
Chicago, Iil ., and residents of Blaine

and that a petition signed bv a reason-

of a bill aathormng any tribal member

The propyl, tion to allot the Osage In-
dians is of little importance to the peo-
ple of Oklahoma than was the opening
of the Kiowa and Comanche lands to
homestead settlement. For more than
thirty years the Usages have held their
present lands and jealously guarded
them against *he intrusion of white
men Only a limited area has been in
cultivation, the bulk of the land being
leased to cattlemen for pastures. The
reservation contains nearly 1!2 million
acres. It is in the most seasonable por-
tion of Oklahoma and much of the land
is well adapted to agriculture. The
southwestern portion of the reservation
is broken All the land belongs to the
Indian citizens and none of it may be
acquired by white men except by pur-
chase after allotment. The manner of
I archase will be made known in the
congressional allotment bill should the
Osage* declare for allotment at the
meeting to be held here.

Austin, Tex.: Lieut. Gov. J. N.
Browning of Amariilo. who was here,
stat* 1 that the construction of the ex-
tension of the Choctaw. Oklnhoina &
Gulf railroad into Amariilo is being
delayed owing to failure to receive
shipments of rails from the manu-
facturers. The line lacks fourteen miles
of being completed into Amariilo. All
this is graded. Trains have been run-
ning into the place for some time over
the tracks of the Ft. Worth & Denver
City, via Washburn. Rapid progress
is being made in the survey ( f the
route of the proposed extension of the
Choctaw & Gulf west from Amariilo to
Santa R< sa, N. M., and construction on
this division will soon commence.

Ardmore: Jes«e L. Jordan, di>trict
revenue inspector of the Second district
with headquarters at Pauls Valley is
employed under Guy P. Cobb of Mus-
cogee. who has the matter of the collec-
tion of the Indian cattle tax in his
charge. He has a list of cattle on
which taxes have been paid in this na-
tion and the amount of the taxes will
aggrc gate a sum exceeding $40,000. He
says that W. < >. Davis' clients have l^-
gan to pay the taxes on their cattle.
Mr. Cobb suspects that in some in-
stances the cattlemen have sent in false
statements with regard to the nnniWr
of cattle that they own and the inspec-
tors are instructed to investigate and
report to headquarters.

H0RSETHIEVES CAPTURED
One i« Turned 0*er to the Oflflrera and
«• hat Became of the Other Ii a Oueation
Soith McAlester: Ed. Wehunt,
charged with h r*e stealing, was bound
ov r ia the sum of f.500 by Commission-
er Wright. Wehunt was captured at
Fentress ;n the Creek nation, and the
tv h rs- s that he is accused of stealing
were found in his possession ami an In-
dian named Pink McCullop. The hor-
were stolen from W. C. Mitchell
who lives n ar Newburg. Mitchell and
eight friends started on the trail of the
thieves and found them at, Fentress.
There was a scrimmage before the two
men were captured in a building into
which they had been driven. Theowner
of the horses and the friends started
bac.< with the two men to bring them
here. On the way they were interrupt-
ed by a gang of about twenty men, none
of whom were known to them. These
men told Mitchell and his party to sur-
render the prisoners and stand where
they were. The men were tnken aside
land Mitchell says that he heart 1 two
shots. Shortly after Wehunt was re-
turned to them and the leader of the»
mob explained that the other fellow had
made his escape, ft struck the posse as
an unhealthy locality and they did not
search for the thief.
Whether McCullf.p was killed bv the
party or whether it was made up of his
friends is not known at present. We
hnnt thinfcs that McCullop wus killed
ami his theory seems probable, for if
the mob had been made Up of the iii
i dian's friends it is not likely that they
woulfl have rescued him and turned his
partner in crime river to tie authorities
It is deemed probable that the Indian
bore a very hard name and tho mob was
made np of men who were determined
to see that he did not get off this tine
EMPLOYED AN ATTORNEY
Terrell, the Convict hi the Kani"i Peni-
tentiary Making Another lifiort
Guthrie: Ira N. Terrill, the Okla-
homa convict in the Kansas peniten-
tiary. who last July acted as his own
attorney in an effort to free himself
from the confines of the law, has em-
ployed an attorney and will make an-
other effort to have his freedom. At
the former trial Terr.11 gained some
notoriety by refusing the s'Tvic s of
attorneys and plead his own case before
a Kau»;us court against the war len or
the state penitentiary, on the ground*
that he was being illegally held. The
case has again been taken up an I Ter
ri.l has this time secured the services ol
W. H. Ashly. a Kansas attorney. Bri fa
and arguments have been filed with the
attorney general of Oklahoma in sup-
\« rt of a motion for a new trial before
the Kins is supreme court, asking fot
his release for th • reason that his iit»er
tv is illegally being withheld. Whc
Mr. Asliby is, is not known by the at
torney general or his assissant, but thev
admit the argument is able an 1 his
brief a strong document. The supreme
court of Kansas has notified the attor-
ney generals of Kansas and Oklahf m
that they must file replies to the brief
of Mr. Aihby bv the fourth of October.
Ash by has volunteered his aii to Ter
rill, in order to secure his release from
th - penitentiary and also to inva'i la--
the contract existing between th
warden of the penitentiary and th^
governor of Oklahoma for the care and
maintenance of the Oklahoma convicts
in the Kansas p snitentiary.
Mr. Ashby takes the position that the
state of Kansas under the laws is de-
priving Terrill illegally of his lib rtr;
that th« warden of the pen:tt ntiary has
only the right to serve the process of
the Kanias courts, and no right to
serve the process of the courts of < )kla
homa: that there is no authority on
tlie part of the warden, given him by
Kansas to enter into such a c mtract for
keeping of the territorial convicts. The
argument an 1 brief presented by Ashby
seems to be the Weightiest yet fil -i III
this cel. brat (1 case, on th • part of the
petitioner
Prof. Ewing of the Edmond Norma!
says there are over 880 enrolled at that
school nnd th-- numb r is daily increas-
ing. He says it will I** a rec >rd-break
