Territory Politicians Laying Their Wires for the Plums Under Di vision. DARROUGH LEADS The Field by Lengths in tbo Marehalahlp Race, While Mel- lette and Huckleberry are Running Fast for tbo Attorneyship. The interest of the territory pol iticians is centered on tho raco be ing made by Mellette nnd Huckle berry for the United States attorn eyship in the Western district. It is generally conceded that if a territory man is named for tho marshal's oflice in tho Northern district, W. H. Darrough will be 1 1)0 man. Quy P. Cobb is the only other candidal who dhows any strength and he is lengths behind Darrough who is exported '.o be returned an easy winner. The fight of the attorneyship in top Western district, whero flucUleberry imp developed con alderabJe strength, parries an ele ment of Uncertainly which niakos It interesting There ia an unknown equation in the problem, in tho person f Judge Charles Raymond, There is not a politician in the territory at present, who lias not entered the guessing contest as to the ex tent of Raymond's influence Raymond is backing Huckle berry and the political form art ists are at sea as to wha,l influence he can bring to bear. Both candidates have enlisted a strong ouUide influence, and a merry fight it anticipated. Melletto, in connection with the endorsement of a number of the enevilable senators, et al., claims the endorsemmt of a sufficient majority of the territory re publicans to entitle him to the plaoo, In conlormity with the "Home Rule" issue, tho several candi dates are laying particular stress on their homo endorsements, Dotb candidates are confident, and '.'.even money" is quoted on t'b'e books of the wise ones an a forecast of their chances, KATY BRANCHING OUT, Three New D ranch Roads to be Uullt la the Territories. The Mlfsourl, Kansas & Okla. noma railroad has filed a mort gage for five million dollars to be used in the construction of three lines pf railroad in Oklahoma, covering a distance of 260 miles, The Central Trust company of New York is mortgagee and the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad company guarantor, Tho mort gage is composed of first mort gage, 5 per cent gold bondB of $1,000 each, payable in forty years nnd was authorized al a meeting of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas direptora in New York, January 14.

MELLETTEREPORTED As Having Enlisted Under the Ayers Uannor and Each Fac tion Said to Have En gaged a Newspaper for tho Pending Fray. It is reported from Muskogee that tho Bennett mid Ayers fao ilons of the republicans are pre paring for n mighty newspaper war. The fight will be waged lo the very last column Ko. fac tion Is stiiving to be "H" and there lies been a dt finite line up of tho forces. It is reported that Wm. M. Mellette is enlisted under the Ayer's banner, and is backing the anti-Bennett paper, the Musko gee Republican. That paper is supporting Mel lette for tli9 United States attorn eyship. The Phoenix, since it has beeu exhumed from tho list of dead ones, is the organ of the Oennnelt wing. This will necessitate Qulick changing his cuill and wearing smoked glasses, so all coons, white or black, will look alike to him. Another paper ia about to be established lor the other wing, when the mud will start to fly. Tho democrats will rest easily in the grand stand and tic 'em on. The contagion of disaffection is spreading to local republican circles and the fight is attracting a great deal of attention. Bennett has many followers in Vinita, and ho is quoted as the party oraclo. While ho and W. II. Darrough. are ostensibly on friendly terms, Darrough does not recognize him as being "it" by thirty leagues. .. The present rumpus will sow an abundance of seed' for a future crop of trouble which will make a populist mix up 'look like a Hag drill of the W. C T. U. It will take a car load of harm ony lotion to heal up the sores which will be kept irritated by the vitriolic quills which have been dipped for (be fray. It is on opportune timo fur the democrats to got together and pre pare for the inevitable line up between the ptrties for the con trol of the territory. -TERRITORY BANKS Refuse to Consolidates I tli the Okla homa Organization. The bankers of the Indian ter ritory, in joint convention with the bankers of Missouri Kansas and Oklahoma, at Kansas City, re jected yesterday the proposition ol ine Oklahoma bankers assoola. lion to consolidate tbo two organ izations.

"There have been a number of cucpessful bonk robberiee in the ntw country and for that reason the insurance companies are 'holding us up.'

I shall mako tho paint ilia1 as the hnusu has taken favorable notion for Oklahoma, New Mexico and Ariz mo, something should also be dune for the Indian torrid .y. I do not look for any more opposi tion to the Indian territory bill than the statehood bill received." STILL THEY COMt. Five Additional Commissioner Courts a Report Says, Will ba Established.

'- Business Sunshine. . Cheerfulness counts for much in an advertisement. One likes to enter a place where the sunshine of good feeling prevails. Funereal advertisements may be well for an undertaker, but all other busi ness should avoid them. There is a sea of difference between what !b proper cheerfulness. While life is a serious proposition, men may lako it too Eerlously. They aro truejBt to themselves and to their generation who gladden and brighten the places in whioh they are seen. Thpso eloreB are best patroniied where gentlo oourtesy and native politeness abound, and those advertisements are moat read, easieet digested and attract most buyers which are peivaded with a spirt of bonbommie, Printer's Ink.

PRESS MEETING, Interesting Session Was Concluded At Claremore Saturday. The Indian Territory Press As sociation held its annual meeting at Claremoro on Friday and Sat urday of last week.
