would settle the question, and it would

candidate for tlie above-named posi-

Mr. Judkins is a republican whose
loyalty to his party has never been
questioned, and he was appointed as a
republican by Gov. Benfrow to the po-
sition of county commissioner of this
county, aud the large vote cast for him
at the recent election is evidence of his
popularity at home.

Interest in the coming session of the
Territorial Legislature of Oklahoma
will increase from uow on. After the
preliminary skirmish for positions of
iionor in the organization of the law-
making body, there is ample opportu-
nity for tlie legislature to settle down
to hard persistent work.
Tlie legal profession as well as the
people of Oklahoma, irrespective of
calling,-is not satisfied with the stat-
utes of the Territory as they stand.
In many places they are opeu to tlie
charge of being ambiguous, incomplete
and misleading. Without considering
the reason therefore, it is certain that
the newly elected legislature is a strong
one and capable of putting the statutes
in shipshape, in addition to passing
such laws as their constituents desire
und the needs of tlie Territory demand.
The Itepiiblicans of the Territory
have the coniidence of the people, and
if they can by wise and moderate legis-
lation, prove that the coniidence is not
misplaced, the Democratic party will
look in vain to Oklahoma lor aid for
years to come.— JSagle.

Directly
after the last raid by the deputy mar-
shals upon citizens of Minco for hunt-
ing dead wood out of the Wichita res
ervation the Minstrel man wrote a let-
ter to Gov. Benfrow reciting the out-
rage and asking relief for our people.
The letter found its way to i'uited
States Marshal Nix, who responded as
below:

My Dear Sit—The secretary of Gov-
ernor Renfrow just called on me uud
showed me a letter from vou. com-
plaining of citizens having been arrest-
ed forgetting dead and down timber,
(it fur nothing but tirewood.
If this is the case, it is in deliance
with the orders from this office, und I
conlident that when the parties are
given a hearing they will be discharged
before the Commissioner.
Uuited States Commissioners have
positive instructions from the 1'. S.
attorneys to discharge all parties
brought before them charged with
using dead timber that is only lit for
firewood. Furthermore, in such case
the deputies are not allowed any fees
for their work, and I cannot see what
they expect to gain by arresting |>eiiple
for something they cannot secure com-
pensation on.
They furthermore are authorized
not to make any arrest for timber cut-
ting of any kind unless the defendant
is caught in the act or warrant has
been approved by the I'nited States
attorney or his assistants.
Now, I would like for yon to write
tne fully regarding the complaint made
in your letter, giving the name of the
defendants arrested, deputies making
such arrests mid disposition that is
made of the cases.
I assure you that it is my desire to
have tlie deputies do their duty and
that they shall do nothing more.
Hoping to hear from you soon. 1 am.
Yours Respectfully,

[Hy a Pilgrim, for Ihe New..'
I tell you it makes no difference
what his name w;.s before lie came to
the Strip.
What license have you to pry into
another man's private history?
Some of us preached back east. Of
course there were rude insinuations
about the disappearance of the church
building fund that was left in our care.
Those old fogies back east didn't
need a new church anyway, and— well
if wheat had only gone up llhs, we
could have built a cathedral aud run a
preacher at each end—we never
thought that those ungodly men who
manipulated the bucket shop would
slump the market aud kill our new
cburcli project, and give the heathen
the worst of ill it showed Irreverence
aud a lack of christian confidence.
Bather than listen to slanderous
tongues, we packed our grip and took
the "Cannou Ball" west, that very
evening that the committee on funds
called upon us for an account of cash
on hand.
Then that matter about the grass
widow? Well, no man is perfect, and
what is the use of always bringing up
that affair. It happened before we
came to the Strip. It's nobody's busi-
but our own, and she has been
married to a Chicago revivalist and de-
vorced since then—so whose business
is it?
Then that affair about the bank—
the newspapers cannot be relied upon
—I say don't take their word for any-
thing; everv one of them claimed that
the shortage wax over twenty thousand
dollars, and I'll swear on a stack of
Bibles as big as a doctor's bill, that it

make up the jewels in the nation'sjdia-
dem. These be the bone and sinew
that go to make up the miglity body-
politic and the commonwealth of a
great state.
Then there are others whose silver
aspirations toward the possession of
any public institution. By all pulling
together in the very reasonable re
quests nliove mentioned we can lie suc-
cessful, and promote a harmony of
