" LaBt night at the Halsell school
room over the Opera house the
Socialists of Durant held their
convention to nominate city of-
ficers N. B. Tabor was selected
as temporary ohairman.
There wero about sixty present
and they selected their candi-

The following men were nomi-
nated from the different wards:
Ward Number One H. M.
Coon and J. H. Waltois.
Ward. Number Two A. L.
Glenn and A. L. McCampbell.
Ward Number Three. N Houk
and Dee Davis.
Jaok- WoodB tho organizer
made quite a speech upon tho
murder of Chas. H. Moyer and
W. D. Heywood. v
The Sooialist intend to make a
vigorous campaign and while
they 'admit that thoy may bo de-
feated they still intend to keep
fighting.
Washington March 15. With
the two most powerlul influences
of tho Foderal Government
leagued against it it will require
a vigorous show of publio opin-
ion to savo the statehood bill
from the fury of tho Spoakor.
Mr. Cannon is fighting it with the
desperation of one who feols that
hid prestige and power are at
hazard and with tho blirid frenzy
of a wounded Vanity. Again he
has brought to his aid the Presi-
dent and it is this acquisition of
strength which tonight makes
it seem not unlikely thatihe whim
HALF MILLION
ACRESOF LAND
Great Reservation to Bn Opened If
.President Appros Bill.
Washington March 13. Tho
Son a to this afternoon passed the
Stephens bill for thov opnning of
tho Kiowa Comancho and
Apache Indian reservation in
Oklahoma and if it should recolve
apprBvar tif tho President .some-
thing' raoro than 500000 aores
of. land will bocoiuo available to
farmers in search of homes. For
six years offorts havo been made
to opon those lands to settle-
ment. Twice bills for that pur
pose have passed tho house but
each 'time they havo failed in the
senate. The ohief obstaolo has
of two men will triumph over tho 1 boon' tho secretary of the interior
wish of 300. Yesterday tho I who has been persistent and tiro-
President advised tho Speaker to j less in his opposition.
These fellows who are eating
brain food in the hope of finding
brains ai e too late.
No permanent good comes out
of any publio movement that is
inspired by malice.

suffer tho House to have its un-
trammeled way; today ho planted
his own standard beside that of
the. Speaker so that the man who
has the tomonty to oxeroise his
own jndgmnt must do it at tho
peril of incurring not only the
vengeance of tho powf ul Speaker-
ship but tho displeasure of the
White House.
To overcome tho fanaticism
whioh seems to havo inspired
Speaker Cannon tho general
opinion ;s that if the statehood
bill is to be Raved from his fufy
there must bo such a demonstra-
tion of the publio will as will
overcomo tho terrorizing to whioh
tho Speaker is subjecting those
who are opposing him. Tho
Speakership is a despotism and
the Speaker is using tho tremen
dous power of his position to
subjugate the opinions ofjgZh to
their fear and oupidity. The ex-
ercise of this force has already1
begun.
Literally thousands of tele-
grams have been received today
by Republicans who heietofore in
this contest have made themsel
ves servile to tho Speaker. In J
addition to these the Speaker
himself has received telegrams
from all parts of tho country
praying him to vouchsafe tho
House to express its will without
fear of his displeasure Tho tel-
egrams addressed personally to
the Speaker like the others
come from all sootions. It looks
as if the people of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory are appealing to
their porsonal and best friends
wherovor they may bo.
Among the telegrams whioh
tKo Speaker got today were somo
from Now York Chioago St.
Louis Kansas City and Omaha
while there was a multitude of
them from Indian Territory and
Oklahoma. Among those from
Oklahoma was one from tho 5000
oattlomen now in convention at
Oklahoma City.
Given Up to Die.
B. Spiegel i2o4 N. Virginia St.
Evansville Ind. writes: "For
over five years I was troubled with
kiujiey and bladder affections
which caused me much pain and
worry. I lost flesh and was all
run down and a year ago had to
abandon work entirely 1 had
three of the best physicians who
did mq no good and I was t radi-
cally given up to die. Foley's
Kidney Cure wn& recommended
atid the first bottle gave me great
relief and after taking the second
bottlo I was entirely cured" Why
notietit help you? Browfiie the

Tho Firo Department boys
havo had installed in their living
rooms an 8x10 bath room with
all the latost and modern con
veniences. -
It is better to be Vraahwith a
hoe than a rake.
Mr. Stephens bill provides that
both the pasture and wood lands
of these reservations makjng in
all 505000 acres shall bo opened
for settlement by proclamation of
the.prosident within three months
after tho passage of the act and
Bold under tho provisions of the
homestead act. Sealed bids are
to bo made for purchase of tho
Beveral traots and they are to be
sold to the highest bidders but
they are not to be sold for less
than S1.50 per acre.
One-fifth of the price is to bo
paid at tho time of bidding and
tho balance in four" annual in-
stallments. All lands remaining undis
posed of at the end of five years
shall be sold for oash under the
hil&r'and regulations to bo pre-
scribed by the seorotary of the
interior. x
Seorotary Hitohcobk opposed
thi" bill at every step of its pas-
sago and it is assumed that he
will oppose it before tho presi-
dent but those who havo worked
to put the bill through do not be-
lieve tho presidont will veto it.
Tho bill passed as it oame from
tho house and theteforo gives no
referential right of purchase to
hose who as lessees . have made
permanent improvements on the
land. Mr. Stephens endeavored
to have a provision of this kind
put in tho bill.
