surrender and quitclaim to the grant-
or, on or before March 4. 1906, all
deeds to land upon which the restric-
tions have not been removed and upon
failure to do this he shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and be sub-
ject to a penalty of $50 for each day
after March 4 next, that he refuses to
comply with these requirements.
The measure passed by the Creek
council sets forth that mmy citizens
of the Creek nation have been In-
duced. for a paltry cash payment or
from |5 to $10, to sign warrantee
deeds to their lands and in addition
to the deed a contract is drawn and
signed, naming an inadequate sum
as a balance to be paid upon the re-
moval of restrictions from the land.
The bill also recites that a great
many Creek citizens who have found
it necessary to borrow small sums or
money have been induced to give
mortgages upon their allotments to
secure the loans, thinking that they
4iad a right to give such mortgages.
Those mortgages have been secured
This, it is pointed out, will work
a great hardship upon Creek citizens
and cause them to lose much money.
The Creeks believe that congress
should do something this winter to
put an end to such practices and the
bill is an eloquent appeal for such
federal protection. Land grafters
who are buying the allotments of the
Indian citizen before the restrictions
nre removed are not only doing the
Indians an injustice, but it is gen-
erally conceded that they are getting
land titles in such a muddle that un-
less congress comes to the rescue th<*
settlement of the Indian Territory by
substantial farmers wll be greatly re-
tarded.
The Creek nation Is not th* only
place where such fraudulent methods
are employed, but land is being tied
up in the Cherokee nation and other
sections of the territory in the same*
way. For several months past the al-
lotment of land has been going on
in the Cherokee nation. The land
buyers who employ doubtful methods
by the money loaners through false in many instances have liunted tip
representations to the allottee, who,
in addition to giving the mortgage.
signs a warrantee deed to his allot-
ment agreeing to accept a certain
sum or balance for his land upon the
removal of restrictions.
The bill also states that the Creeks
have been led to believe that, all In-
herited lands are exempt from limita-
tions and restrictions, and they have
the allottee before he has even filed
on his land. As soon as he has se-
cured his allotment certificate he is
hustled to an office, is advanced a
small sum of money, and within a few
minutes he has turned over to the
grafter his allotment certiticate and
a deed to his land, in which he has
agreed to relinquish his land as Boon
as tho restrictions are removed.
ESTIMATED VALUATION
flndian Territory Has Property Wit'i
Tax Value of Two Million
MUSKOGEE: The talk about state-
hood has resulted In a good deal of
figuring being done as to tho probable
tax valuation in Indian Territory that
comes in as a state. The Muskogee
Times publishes an estimate of these
valuations, based upon the best figures
that could he obtained, giving compari-
sons with other states, as an argu-
ment that Indian Territory is pre-
pared for statehood and financially
able to support local government. The
following valuations are shown:
Railroads 3.010 miles, ?50.000,000;
telegraph, telephone, private car and
coal companies. $0,000,000; banks,
value, ooo.000. but for taxation
purposes. $20,000,000; town property
and Improvmont at present tax valttp.
5108,000,000; live stock (Secretary
Wilson': last report). $14,000,000,%total
valuation not Including farm lands,
$202,000,000.
When Kansas and Nebraska were
admitted neither state had a tax dup-
licate of 120,000,000. After Ohio had
been a state seventeen years its tax
duplicate amounted to only $45,00n.-
000. Wyoming has been a state for
over a dozen years and yet its last
tax duplicate showed only $47*000,009,
including all kinds of property. Tho
figures used in Indian Territory are
computed upon the same basis of val-
uation that is in vogue in Wyoming
in making up the tax lists.
NEGRO EXECUTED
Grant Williams Hanged at South Mc-
Alester for Murder of Paymaster
SOUTH MCALESTER: Grant Wil-
liams, the negro who killed Paymaster
Rolan of the Rock Island road, was
executed here last Friday. The prison-
er has been gradually dying for
months and, owing to his physical
weakness, he was straped to a board
and carried to tfte scaffold on the
shoulders of four men. There was
no expression or demonstration from
the condemned man. He was held
in position over the trap and in ten
minutes after the fall he was dead.
VALUABLE FOR FIR* FIGHTERS.
Portable Breathing Apparatus an In-
vention of Much Merit.
In Europe a respiratory and life-
saving apparatus has been used with
considerable success by minors, tiro-
men and others, who ure require,1 to
penetrate mines or apartments that
are filled with smoke or unbreathable
gases, especially after accidents such
as explosions. With this apparatus
sufficient air and oxygon are carried
to support respiration for two hours,
even while the individual is workliur.
The apparatus consists of a mask or
htlu6t» which completely covert tho
face, but exposes the ears, so that
while the eyes of the wearer are pro-
tected from the smoke he can hear
distinctly.
There are connected with the mask
two rubber bags—one for the exhavd
air and the other connected with the
oxygen and tho regenerated air. The
forme r is contained in stool cylinders,
and by means of proper reducing
valves acts on the air after the car-
bonic acid which has been exhaled is
absorbed by granulated potash. The
Instrument weighs about twenty-eight
pounds, but is sure in its action, and
has been used successfully by tho
Paris fire department, where, in ad-
dition. portable electric lights with
flexible cables form a part of the
equipment, and thus allow firemen to
penetrate dark and smoky roams and
cellars to save life or cut off gas or
electricity, or perform some other use-
ful duties. In mines the apparatus
is valuable in case of accidents due to
fire-damp or explosion, and It. is coin-
ing into extensive use lor this pur-
pose.- Montreal Herald.

The Ideal Wife.
A Chicago clergyman preached a
practical sermon on the ideal wife.
The necessary attributes ho dwelt on
especially were truth, gentleness and
pleasing appearance.
To a Wain the realms of tho ideal a
wife must be absolutely truthful to
her husband; she should never criti-
cise h%* husband, nor be a scold; she
must look her best at all times, and
it is a sin for her to be careless about
her personal attire in th presence of
her husband.
These nre the quite sensible points
made during the course of the sermon,
but there was one essential virtue
omitted. The reticence that will pre-
vent a woman from ever confiding to
people outside her home what trou-
bles site may meet with there.
But when are the clergymen going
to tell the world what tlie ideal hus-
band should be?
There Was an Agitation.
When the little man with two watch
chains had ascertained that tho other
man was from Powderville he asked:
"Excuse me, but I want to ask after
a man whom I think lives In your
town. Ilis name is Barclay."
"Joe Barclay?"
"Yes, that's the one. I used to know
him in Indiana, la he in politics?"
"I believe so."
"What party does he belong to?"
"Ho's an agitator.-'
'"!>• you mean a labor agitator?"
"I wouldn't exactly say that, but I
know he's an agitator."
"But I don't exactly understand/'
"Well, he was my opponent for the
office mayor last fall, and he agi-
tated things around so that I was
snowed under by over 400 votes, and
have been agitated half to death by
his crowing ever since."—Exchange.
Viewed from a Business Standpoint
Walker and Goodrich are undertak-
ers and business rivals in one of our
northern New England eitics. At a
children's dancing party last February
the birthday of Washington was being
observed in a pleasing manner. Little
| Margaret Walker was the' center of
one animated group of children who
were eagerly discussing something
they liad overheard concerning the
great man.
"Why, don't you know that Wash-
ington is dead?" volunteered one little
girl, proud of her superior wisdom.
• Are you sure?" asked Margaret:

Art's Surrender to Utility.
George Washington was sitting for
one of his numerous and highly differ-
entiated portraits.
• If I might venture a suggestion,"
the artist said, with becoming respect
and deference, "I think a little less
sternness of expression might be "
"No," interrupted the Father of His
Country. "I intend this one for the 2-
cent stamps of tho twentieth cen-
tury."
Composing his mouth Info the firm,
rigid lines now familiar to all of us, he
waved his hand as a signal that the
artist might proceed.
Deaf-Mutes in Postal Service.
The postmaster general has decided
to throw open positions iu the city
postofhees throughout Canada to an
unfortunate class of citizens, namely,
deaf-mutes. Six such persons are to
be appointed at once in the Toronto
postoffice and a proportionate number
in other city post offices. They will
require to be sufficiently educated to
perform the ordinary sorting of mail
matter, and to be under the age of
thirty years.—Montreal Star.
Stringent Rule Against Intoxicants.
One of the New York banks has
adopted a most stringent rule against
the use of intoxicants by its employes.
Every man in the service of the bank
has been required to sign an agree-
ment that he will not even enter any
place where intoxicants art? sold.
Two young men who had signed this
pledge were summarily dismissed
recently for taking a couple of women

that of Douglas, the present governor.

Sequoyah Squelched
Large Majority of Indian Territory
Voters Favor Joint Statehood
OKLAHOMA CITY: From returns
received from many points tn Indian
Territory it would appear that the
election for the ratification of the con
stitutton for the proposed state or
Sequoyah has failed. Using the re-
turns received as a basis, but a small
per contage of the votes of the tern-
lory were polled—probably less than
one-tenth. Very few votes wore east
in the Chickasaw nation. At Chicka-
sha. Ardmore, Purcell, Ada, Coalgate,
Marlow and other places it is reported
no voles were cast.
The estimated vote of tho territory
is placed at 150,00u and it is doubtful
if 20.000 votes were cast.
Bartlesville has a voting population
of at least a thousand, but fourteen
votes were all that was polled. In the
Okmulgee district « »0 votes were
east out of 5,000. Davis cast less than
100 votes, in Durant the vote cast was
about one eighth of the cm ti re voting
strength. At Tulsa the city people did
not go to the polls—the 121 votes
cast there was clone b\ people from
the country, half of whom were In-
dians. South McAlester voted for
adoption by 140 to 37 against. In Mc-
Alester the vote on tho constitution
stood 4'.* for adoption to 12 against.
Krebs defeated the issue by throe
votes. At Haileyville 245 votes were
cast for the constitution and 30
against it; at Hartshorne, 117 for and
rone against; at Kiowa, 200 votes for
adoption and none against. Ashland
;-ave fifty plurality for tho issue. The
issue of anr'ving the cities of McAles-
ter and South McAlester was carried
! by large plurality.
Wilburton gave 1.7.12 votes for joint
i statehood with Oklahoma, and 4:»

The largest vote in the territory
I was in the Salisaw district., where

Safety in Proprietary Medicines.
Replying to the charge that c ertain
popular proprietary medicines contain
narcotic drugs, an authority says.
"Some years ago one of the leading
pharmacists i f America, in connection
with some official work, undertook to
ascertain, by an elaborate inquiry in
representative cities of the country,
what percentage of physicians' pre-
scriptions contained a narcotie drug
of some kind* Out of 100,000 repre-
sontative prescriptions, dispensed In
drug stores in all parts of the United
States, It was found that 70 per cent
contained opium or some one of its
preparations.
"Proprietary medicines are almost
invariably accompanied by tin4 most
detailed and specific direc tions for use,
while the directions accompanying
physicians' preemptions are generally
very brief and sometimes illegible. It
is also true that but a moderate pro-
portion of proprietary medicines con-
tain any poison or narcotic, and, when
they do, it is generally in such small
quantities or so protected by accom-
panying antidotes, as to carry with It
no danger whatever."

A Strange Indian Monument
A stone carving of a grizzly bear In
the attitude of defending her cubs has
been made by Andrew Chester Thomp-
son of Seattle and will bo immediately
shipped to Alaska, to he placed over
the grave of It. Shadesty, one of the
most prominent Indians In the north
when alive. He died on December
iv. L908, leaving |600 to defray tho
cost of the monument. The big piece
of stone carving, weighing 3,000
pounds, will be shipped from Seattle
to Wrangle, and from that point will
bo carried about 150 miles overland to
the home of the Boar family Indians.
The Indians themselves will transport
the grizzly on its overland journey,
according to their own primitive
methods of transportation. Mr.
Thompson has boon carving stones
for the Bear Indians for twenty-five
