Russia is buying cavalry horses
in this country.
The financial bill to be submitted
to the coming session of congress
is now about ready.
The Ninth Lancers are among
the British-missing at Belmont
Another successful Boer trap evi-
dently. The fight now ou iu the Twen-
tieth Kansas bids fair to be hotter
than any previous engagement the
the regiment has entered .
This beautiful weather is sug-
gestive of. activity in sidewalk im-
provement but it is probable that
the suggesrivpripss will be lost.
It has just developed that the
expense incurred by the govern-
ment for the funeral of ex-Ptesi-dent
Garfield bus never been paid.
The cattlemen of the Creek na-
tion are to be prosecuted to a fin-
ish. This is the instruction sent
to Col. Soper by the interior de-
partment. The Bocis win nave a fair mark
for target practice if Cecil Rhodes
leaves Kiinberly in a baloon. Re-
ports say he has one prepared in
case it becomes necessary for the
town to surrender.
Roberts' democratic gentile
friends in Utah have deserted him
on the ground that he has broken
faith with them. He promised be-
fore elected to clear himself of the
charges against him.
Cranks are beginning to vege-
tate in the political hot-bed in
Kentucky. Governor Bradley has
received a letter demanding his
xesignation with assassination
threatened as an alternative.
The uncertainty at present pre-
vailing in this country regarding
leasehold interests should be set at
rest in some manner at the earliest
time possible. Either a definite
ruling should be made by the de-.
partment or congressional action
should be had thereon before the
holiday recess.
Much interest is being manifest-
ed now regarding lease interests.
People are making all sorts of in
quiries of nearly everyone. The
man with the unexpired term wants
to know if he will receive compen
sation for his improvements while
others want to know if they can
hold land under the government
where there is doubt as to a citi
zen's right to receive rent. These
are the unsolved and seemingly in
soluble problems of non-citizens in
the Territory.

JOUDCRT THE STRATEGIST. '.
. f.
The developments of the South
African war are giving General
Joubert place as one of the greatest
military strategists of the age. The
suspicion that it was in him has
existed from the first few weeks of
the war when he isolated the three
divisions of the British army in
Natal and effectually put an end to
their field operations by manenv-:
ering them into defensive positions
from which there now seems little
hope of their emerging except as
prisoners of war.
But since the British reinforce
ments reached the coast and com
menced their march to the relief of
the beleagured forces his vigilance
and resource have been developed
in a manner to surprise the watch
ing world and to bring consterna
tion to the guilty conscience of the
British war advocates. Without
seeming to weaken the investment
of either of the three beleagured
cities he has marshaled forces in
a mysterious and seemingly un
known manner and so disposed
the in as to checkmate every move
of the British advance.
The recent battle of Belmont
bears every evidence of being a
part of his general plan for the
tactics there were the same as
were observed at Glencoe and
Elandslaagte where the British
were left in possession of the field
but where the fruits of victory" were
really with the Boers. This would
seem to be the case at Belmont
for the Boers retreated in good or-
der taking their artillery and
transport train with them while
the battle has effectually dispelled
the hope of the British of reaching
Kimberley before it surrenders.
At the Mooi river the British re-
lief column is confronted by a
strong Boer fcrce which has iso-
lated Pietermaritzburg and thus
the relief of Ladvsmith is consid-
ered entirely doubtful. In fact
the British reports say that there
is strong probability of withdraw-
ing this force to Durban which is
threatened by the Boers.
That some master mind is di-
recting the operations of the Boers
is acknowledged by the British of-
ficials and that the imperial land
grabbers are greatly concerned at
the condition of affairs is easily
discernible in the dispatches. They
have undertaken a task which will
apparently tax their strength and
ingenuity to their utmost.
CLIPPINGS AND COflMENT.
Bro. Holden tells about meeting
the Eufaulapoet "Chinnubie Har-
jo" and winds up his glowing
tnbnte to the Creek bard by saying
"he is about one-third Indian."
Now being from Missouri and a
lineal descendant of Thomas the
Unshown we ask Bro. Holden to
explain that "one-third" business.
Claremore Courier.
The Ardmorite would like to sit
with the Courier in the shade of
this same genealogical tree and
count the odd branches.
The Ardmoreite has enlarged
to a seven column folio and is one
of the prettiest and newsiest dailies
in the Territory. Antlers Demo-
crat. Thanks. It will continue to im-
prove in the future as it has in the
past.
Dr. A. J. Wolverton of Ard-
more is the Banner's choice for
democratic national committeeman.
Duncan Banner.
You have put up a good man and
one as deserving of the honor as
any in the Territory.
All this furore about Admiral
Dewey's aetion in transferring his
home to his wife is mere bun-
combe; is simply a frantic effort
on the part of "ontributors to
dwell briefly in the sunshine re-
flected by the glory attached his
name. Had this unfortunate mis-
understanding of the admiral's ac-
tion not arisen they would have
chosen some other pretext for get-
ting their names publicly mention-
ed. Such hypercritical patriots
never part with their money with-
out the hope of an opportunity for
publicity in connection with their
carefully calculated generosity.
' T School Coat VacUKle4u " '
The terms of " the short' term
school board members H. C. Pot-
terf and W. S. Wolverton -expire
on the third Saturday in December.
They were elected on the 26th day
of January and installed into office
in March. Since their installation
the board has done an immense
amount of work and in nothing
has any member of the board shirk'
ed a duty. From an unfavorable
state of affairs they have establish!
ed free schools put them upon a
firm basis and increased the at
tendance beyond the expectations
of oar people. This work has been
done at the sacrifice of these men
and it would seem fair for the
onerous duties unavoidably connect-
ed with this office to be shared
with others but it is doubtless the
sense of every voter of the town
that these men be elected to suc-
ceed themselves. They have been
wise in council have met emer-
gencies in a way best calculated to
inspire confidence in the- public
schools of Ardmore and we trust
that neither will decline to have
his name voted upon.

Cherokee Council Action.
Tahlequah I. T. Nov. 26.
After killing the late Cherokee
treaty Friday the Cherokee council
took it up again yesterday and
passed the bill extending the time
for ratification by congress and
asking that the body make certain
changes in the document. It will
now go to the senate where it fail-
ed.' It isstated on good authority
that Chief Buffington will veto any
action of the council that will
change any part of the treaty.
The section providing for the settle-
ment of the $4000000 claim is the
cause of most contention. By the
terms of the treaty no one can have
a chance to make a lot of money by
taking out sections. Capitalists
can't get a chance at it. A number
of representatives of capital are
here including ex-Gov. Troutmun
of Topeka Kan.
Sprung a Point.
In the frial of Dan Henson this
morning in police court. Attorney
Reynolds sprung a point which
doubtless puzzled the police judge.
Henson is charged with carrying a
weapon and for this offense city
ordinance No. 9 provides a fine of
not less than $50 nor more than
$200. Attorney Reynolds' argu-
ment is that the city government
cannot impose a fine of more than
$25 and is based upon Sec.
766 of Mansfield's digest
which reads as follows:
"Municipal corporations shall not
have power to inflict any fine or
penahy by ordinance orotherwise
to a greater sum than $25. for any
one specified offense or violation of
such by-law or ordinance."
If Mr'. Reynolds' rosition is sus-
tained those who 'formerly have
paid fines of $50 to the city gov-
ernment 'can recover but in as
much as the same fine would be
imposed in the United States courts
no one will go to the trouble . and
cost of the litigation. Henson's
case will be taken to the district
court. j
