There are $1,000,000 a year around
Cross only waiting to be spent here.
Heretofore it has gone to Arkansas
City, Cedar Vale and Ooffeyville
simply because there were no nearer
markets. With a market at Cross the
money will be spjnt here. This Is
one reason Cross is building at such
an astonishing rate.—[Cross Resident
There is a constant stieam if home-
seekers pouring iuto Cros and the
larger portion are making invest
ments. The princely advantage of
surrounding country, the magoiflcent
farming district, the immense wealth
of neighboring Indians, who per forci
must trade here, the transcendent
beauty of location, the pre-eminent
assurance of future development; all
these cjmpel a business man to sto^
here.—[Cross Resident.
Saturday night at LeFlore John
Carney shot and instantly killed
Handy LeFlore, a Choctaw lawyer.
No one knows whether or not they
had had any words previous to the
killing. They came into Harris' store
together and Carney shot LeFlore In
the back of the headjwlthout warn
Ing. Carney is a Jones man and Le-
Flore was a Locke man. Both par
ties were full-blood Choctows. Carney
will be tried in the Choctaw courts.
Killings among the Choctaws are be-
coming quite numerous of late.
Bridge Foreman McCann gave the
Mall some interesting facts about the
Canadian bridge. The lirst engine
was sent over It at 9 o'clock Wednes-
day night, but the bridge will not be
completed entirely for about forty
days. Its whole length Is 2,728 feet,
or a little over half a mile in length.
The extent of the washout was 1,153
feet. The rebuilding of this was not
only exciting but dangerous, on ac-
count of the Quicksands. Sometimes
several teams would be under at once
and it took a small army of men to
watch the horses, cut the harness and
help them out when they began to
sink. The quicksands are very heavy
In this river, and In a pail of water
there will settle three inches of quick-
sand. Although the banks of the
river are only about three feet high,
the current will wash a channel
twenty-seven feet deep,and the quick-
sand is so strong that it will snap off
heavy plies.—[Wellington Mail.
Married: At the residence of the
bride's parents, Dr. and Mrs J. G.
Street, on West Fourth street, on
Sunday evening at 7 o'clock, by Rev.
F. W. Hawley, pastor of the 1'resbv
terian church, Mr. Horace Wilson
and Miss Gertrude M. Street, both of
this city. By this marriage the groom
has secured one of the Very nicest
young ladles in the city—pleasant,
agreeable, accomplished, re lined and
handsome. He is certainly to be
warmly congratulated on his choice.
She is at present one of the teachers
in our public schools, and one of the
most efficient and successful. Mr
Wilson at present holds the respons
ible position of teller in the First Na-
tional bank, and is recognized as ,jne
of the leading young men in the city
reliable, steady and trustworthy. The
Times-Journal joins their very
large circle of friends in wishing them
long life, happiness aud prosperity.
Those present at the ceremony and
supper, In addition to the family of
the bride, were Mrs. Lottie Quill, Mr.
Lee Wilson, Miss Lou Holloway, Mr.
Merrie Richardson, Miss Mary Beale,
Mr. Ed Overholser, Mr. Farrar, of
Dallas, Mrs. Leach and Col. Dawson
aud wife.
Must (let Spi ed Out
washington, Oct. !4—Tht mat-
ter of getting a change In the office of
United States attorney for Oklahoma
has been placed before the depart-
ment of justice by the fellows con-
nected with the iuterior who want
the present Incumbent ousted before
the investigation of tile grand jury.
They are pressing the change with
all the vigor found in criminals who
are trying to evade punishment.
The Smlth-Lamoreaux-Dunn candi-
date for the placu Is Thomas Mc
Meachan, of Oklahoma City. TUey
have reached the conclusion that, If
Thomas was United States attorney,
he would be able to prevent securing
indictments. They think that he
could be induced to conduct the office
in a thoroughly "sawbu«'k" style and
that he .would conclude with them
that the gang that had the backing
of the Interior should be accorded the
backing of the department of Justice.
It was >clearly developed today that
McMeachan is the fellow that they
propose for the place, and they want
him appointed quick.
The matter of getting the change
made quick Is the point to the whole
situation. They are afraid they can-
not pack the grand jury so that they
will bv able to conceal all the bribery
of officials. While they have the
marshal, they are afraid that he is
not equal to the task of protecting
them. Some of the wires have been
working hot today for the appoint-
ment of McMeachan.
So far no indicati jn has been given
out at the department of justice
showing what will be done. ' It is
also said that some of the respectable
democrats of Oklahoma being apprised
of the situation have been writing
the attorney general that it would be
a disgrace at this time to make a
change and that it would be much
better to iallow the bribers and crim-
inals dn the government service to
meet punishment than to attempt to
conceal them by making a change in
the office of United States attorney.
This makes the fact known to the
department that the people are aware
of tile exact situation, and It is be-
lieved that the gentleman from
Boston will conclude that as he is not
a party to the disgraceful operations
in Oklahoma to any great extent, he
will not now at tills late day take a
baud in the matter, but will permit
the "sawbucks" to get frightened at
the threatened appearance of justice

Dave Burnett of Guthrie, has tiled
suit against his wife asking adlrorce,
all on account of a little episode that
occurred Friday night, in .which Mrs.
B. and a prominent lawyer of that
town were the piincipal actors. Mis.
B. and the lawyer were keeping an
appointment, of which fact Mr. B. be-
came cognizant and in company with
two officers visited the apartment
where the coup|e were putting up.
The News graphically pictures the
scene as follows: ''With cat like steps
they entered the building—they tried
the door of the room, it was locked.
Dave Hung himself agoinstit with the
force of a battering ram of Jericho.
The door burst from its hinges, the
three men marched into the room.

palled and convicted Lothario. 11 is

the open door, lie essayed to Hy and
Dave sailed in and turned his bliss to
sorrow. Dame Burnett, like a sen-
sible woman, remained in bed. After
wreaking his vengeance on his victim
he was kicked down stairs, the officers
having allowed him to dress, lie
went out into the darkness but turned
up next day to square matters with
Burnett. Dave squared them iy
thumping him soundly, and now
Snooks .is out In the cold, cold world '"" 8 1

his unfortunate misadventure. The
contretremps will have a material

Dennis Flynn anil Hoke Smilli.
When Mr. Cleveland entered upon
his duties as president last March aud
when Mr. Bissell was being measured
for a chair extra size enough to hold
the new postmaster general, Dennis
T. Flynn began his term as deleg ate
from the territory of Oklahoma. In-
troductions wi re not necessary. When
Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Blssell were
law partners in Buffalo young Flynn
was their office boy. With the rest
of the administration the new dele-
gate was slower making acquaintance.
"1 don't believe any new man in
Washington ever had worse luck than
I did," said Mr. Flynn the other day.
"Soon after I got here I went up to
see the new secretary of the interior
on a matter that was pressing. I
went early, soon after the doors of
the department were opened at nine
o'clock. I told the private secretary
who I was and th it I wanted to Bee
the secretary. I sat there in the out-
er room until 10:30 o'clock and saw
congressmen come and go. Then 1
got up and said I'd be blanked if I'd
staud that sort of thing any longer.
1 was going out and I'd be back in
half an hour and if Oklahoma had
any lights under the new administra-
tion I wanted them acknowledged.
Then I went away. When 1 got back
I was told to step right Into the sec-
retary's room. In 1 walked and wait-
ed until I thought everybody before
me had been served. Then I stepped
up and said:
'•Mr. Secretary, I'm the delegate
from Oklahoma—"
" 'You'll have to wait, sir,' said the
secretary, waiving me back; 'I am
only seeing members of congress now.'
"Well, 1 retreated and sat down on
the sofa by a gentleman I didn't
know. lie said to me It was protty
rough. I said to him I thought it
was. lie asked me where 1 was from
and I told him. Just then Secretary
Iloke Smith looked at the gentleman
I was talking with and said:
'Col. Morrison, I'll see you now.'
'No,'said Col. Morrison, for he
was the chairman of the interstate
commerce commission,'see this gentle-
man Urst. lie is the congressman
from Oklahoma. You have't treated
him right, Mr. Secretary.*1
'And that was the trouble I had to
get my first interview with Secretary
Iloke Smith."
Secretary Hoke Smith has since be-
come better acquainted with the boy-
ish-looking and breezy Flynn. He
has also learned that a territorial
delegate lq a memberof congress with-
out a vote and ranks with the repre-
sentatives. There are forty repre-
ntatlves who got their commissions
■mailer number of voles than
east for Mr. Flynn. There were
I hree candidates for delegate at the
Oklahoma election, and the vote
po led was over 20,000, which showed
a great de.tl more Interest than th •
average congressional district 6outh
of Mason aud Dixon's line takes In
election day.
Oklahoma Is a very lively territory.
It wants many things and wants them
quick. So Mr. Flyrn Is the busiest
of all the teriltorial delegates.—Globe-
