RECORDING DISTRICTS.
Effort Being Made to Secure Legisla
tion to Divide Territory.
Special to tho Arilinorolte.
Washington D. C Juno lfi. A
stronB effort Is being maclo to so-
euro legislation by congress dividing
Indian Territory up Into recording
districts. At present nil Instruments
must lie recorded at Muskogee. South
MoAleeter and Ardmore. This im-
pose much expeliw upon the people
and ns a result ninny transactions
hlch should he recorded are never
properly entered on the records.
V number of leading citizens of
tho Indian-Territory who are now In
the c!ty have taken the matter up
and drafted a hill which seems to
meet wltl) general approval. Tho
bill provided that tho Territory shall
be divided Into twonly-flve recording
districts the place of record being
the town In which tho soeslona of tho
district courts are held.
Some controversy has arlson ovor
the ostnbllshmont of district lines
which will In nil probability form
tho basis for tho creation of coun-
ties when counties aro finally estab-
lished. A controversy has arlson botweon
roprosontntlvos of Wagoner and Mus-
kogee ovor the location of tho record
ing district lino between thoso two
cities. The pooplo of Muskogco nre
Insisting that It should bo run up to
within four miles of Wagoner while
Wagonor. on tho othor hand Is un
willing to make this concession. Oth
or complications have also oacurrod
but It scorns probable that tho dlf
foroncos will bo satisfactorily adjust
ed and that the bill will bo enacted
into a law.
DEWEY WILL COMMAND.
The Admiral's Flag Will Govern the
Maneuvers of the Squadron.
Washington Juno IC. Admiral
Dewey is to go to sea again flying
his flag with tho four stars In com
mand of the greatest fleet In numbers
tho United States has gotten togeth
er since tho days of tho civil war nnd
far more powerful In offonso and de
fenso oven then than any of thoso
war fleets. Secretary Moody has con
ceived an Idea and after consulting
the ploasuro of Admiral Dewey It
has been nrranged that he shall bo
placed In supremo commnnd of tho
fleet comprising tho North Atlantic
tho European and tho South Atlantic
squadrons which Is to assomblo nuar
Culobra Island In tho Wost Indies
next Deccmbor for tho wlntor maneu-
vers. Secretary Moody hlmsolf do-

SAYS PEACE WILL NOT LAST.
General Kitchener's Brother Says the
Doers Will Break Out Again.
DenVr. Col.. June 10. Colonel
Kltciioher brother of General l.onl
Kitchener does not place much reli
ance In the peace establishments of
the Boers. Colonel Kitchener passed
through Denver today en route to the
coronation.
"The Boer Is worn out by three
years o hard fighting lie Is nlso
homesick. He wants to he united
with his family again; so he seeks
ponco."
That briefly la the way Colonel
KItchandY slxed up the situation In
South Africa. Ho added:
"Of course It will be some years be-
foro tho Doers will break out ngaln.
What I refer to Is that we cannot ex
pect them to remain In perpetual
peace. In othor words tlioy aro not
going to turn tho bnyonot Into a
plowshare as was done In the South
nftor the Civil war.
"You know that the Door Is a home-
loving man. Ho Is a man who Is
much attached to his family. In the
last three years he has been In the
field nnd he has fought valiantly
too. Every English army offlcor will
credit him with putting up n splen-
did fight. However ho Is now weary
of fighting and will bo good for sev
eral years. Evontually howovor
wncn i would not hazard a guess
but some time ho wilt break out
again. That I firmly believe."

Smallpox kills fwer people

They're especially diiiiuerous
in summer. The attack is so

the disease in the first stage
