The following special telegram to
the St. Louis (ilobe-Democrat from San
Francisco, Cal., makes Oklahoma a
Mecca for those who iu marrying "for
better or for worse" got mure worse
than better: •
Oklahoma, according to letters re-
reived here by several law firms, is en-
tering the field as a rival to South Da-
kota in cheap and rapid divorce. It
inay seem strange that a country
should try to advertise itself by calling
attention to the excellent facilities its
courts afford married persons who con-
template seeking legal separations,
but U.at is iust what Oklahoma is do-
ing. The ti rritory has the greatest
,et of divorc * laws on record. A man
cad move inm Oklahoma, divorce him-
self from his wife and move out again
all within thirty days, and the wife
need never know a thing about it.
Letters and circulars giving full de-
tails of these rare facilities for divorce
have been received here from lluthrie.
one letter from an attorney of (iuth-
rie, who refers to Attorney General
t.albraith of Oklahoma for his trust-
worthiness, says:
"Guthrie is a pretty town. Persons
of social standing desiring to reside
temporarily here can always tind con-
genial company and be ente-tained in
royal style. Divorces can be easily ob-
tained in Guthrie. The charges will
be reasonable and the persons con-
cerned will be put to as little incon-
venience as possible, llut an appear-
ance in court may be necessary, ana it
is promised that there will be no crowd
of loafers and gossips to listen to
whatever testimony may be given.
The proceedings will be conducted in
quiet manner and the defendant need
know nothing of what is going on.
The defendant's presence is not re-
quired in court, nor will ti be necessa-
ry to serve any papers."
~ Extracts from the Oklahoma statutes
of last year bear out all these asser-
tions and show that- the territory is
the promised land for those who want
freedom from matrimonial fetters.
WILL GRANT A HEARING.
Argument* On Ihr Kiowa Keservatkm
0|)#niDR to lie Heard Today.
W A8BINOTON, March 15.—[Special.J
It has been agreed that ihe house
committee on Indian affairs will give
a hearing today to those interested in
the bill to approve the agreement
opening to settlement the Wichita,
Kiowa, Comanche and Apache reserva-
tion. Chief Quanah Parker will pro-
test against the bill, claiming chat the
Indians do not want to be held by th«
agreement, and others will insist that
this is simply the scheme of the cattle-
men who have been getting in their
work on the Indians through the sec-
retary of the interior. The meeting
will be a very important one for the
bill. It is also expected that the re-
port of the interior department on the
bill will be received.
A DISPUTtD POINT.
WhiNky Still or a Feather Renovator Cap-
tured In the Strip.
For some time the Osage Indians
have been securing large quantities of
whisky despite every effort ot the offi-
cials to prevent it. but a few days afio
deputy marshals raided the cabin of
(ieorge Van Eaton near Pawnee,
where they seized a queer looking ap-
paratus as a whisky still, also a quan-
| tity of whisky, Van Eaton was alto
j arrested on the charge of illicitly dis-
! tilling liquor and was bound over to
: court. At the preliminary trial sev-
i eral witnesses swore the apparatus
was a still and others that it was a
| feather renovator. Van Eaton's wife
! was the one who gave the officers
pointers and she testified against him
and is now under arrest for perjury on
a warrant sworn out by him and his
friends.

. Ilrepresentative Flynn today succeeded
! in having called up and passed by the
house the Mcltae bill, which gives to
J Oklahoma enough land to assure a
handsome endowment for the state's
university, agricultural college and
Dermal school. The bill reserves sec-
tion 13 in each township in the Chero-
kee outlet, the Tonkawa reservation
and in the I'awnee Indian reservation.
It also provides for the reservation for
public buildings of section 311 in each
township. The governor of the terri-
tory or state is authorized to lease the
land for a period of three years with
the approval <>f the secretory of the
interior.
ROBBERS MAKE A MISTAKE.
KICKING KICKAPOOS.
InMrurtiona Sent to Major Scat KrKariliug
Allotment nfTlielr l. uit«.
Washington, March 15.- [Special.]
Secretary Smith, of the interior de-
partment, has forwarded a letter to
Major Neal, allotting agent for the
Kickapoos, instructing him to inform
Wall Poh Mah Thahmah and the In-
dians under him that they must take
their allotments within thirty days
after the notice had been given or the
agent would select the land for them.
A disputch from Guthrie stating that
',"'.2 of the Kickapoo Indians had re-
fused to take allotments was denied at
the department. This story told with
much detail how the Indians regarded
the Great Father at Washington and
what the "Great Spirit" would do if
they disposed of the land he had given
them. Advices from Major Neal show-
that the Indians who are refusing to
take allotments are in a small minor-
ity. and, under the instructions, little
trouble need be anticipated.
Representative Flynn, of Oklahoma,
stated today that the Kickapoos were
the least civilized of all the Indians in
the territory, and thut instead of giv-
ing them allotments they should have
been transferred to another reserva-
tion.
In Attempting to Loot it Store They Are
Captured Ti eiiiHelves.
El. Reno. O.T., March 17.—[Special.)
Robbers entered the store of William
Price of Okarche, in this county,
Thursday night and endeavored to
hold up the inmates, but made a mis-
take in their men for once and the rob-
bers were captured. This is the first
break in a long series of robberies in
the Cheyenne country, and it is hoped
that the parties are the oues that have
committed so many depredations in
the near past, and that their career
will now end for a time.

a hundred times harder than on the <

At tt:Pi the pistol was fired for the j
start and both crews started well to-
gether. Off tlie soap works Oxford was
in the lead. W hen the lead mills were
reached Oxford had opened a gap of a
length and then forged ahead in grand
style. At Thornycraft the dark blues
were four lengths ahead. Then they
eased up and took things coolly to the
finish, while Cambridge did not even
cross the finish line. The official time
of Oxford was H) minutes. *!'.• seconds.
In the previous contests between
these two universities, Oxford had won
twenty-seven, including the races of

two and one race in 1877, resulted iu a
dead heat. Last year the dark blues

a half lengths in 18 minutes, 47 seconds,
