ANOTHER LOTTERY
Recommended as tho Proper Way
to DIsposo of tho Surplus Do
main Which Embraces a
Tract of About '180,.
000 'Acres.
The house oommitlco on Indian
aflairs has authorized a favorable
report to be uindo to the house on
tbo bill of Mr. Stephens of Texas,
providing for the opening to set.
tlemenl of 480,000 acrti of land in
the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache
reservation in Oklahoma territory
This area repieients tho 480,000
acres set apart for grazing land
under 'ho aot of June G, 1000,
which authority, the bill contends
was bo misconstrued by the see
retary of the .interior as to lead
him to embrace desirable ngricul
tural lands fronting on the Red
river, which bavo reen leased to
- fourstockreen. The bill is in the
v nature ol a severe rebuko for the
secretary for selecting theee agri
cultural lands for grazing purposes
while including "rough and un
broken and stony lands in tho in
terior and mountainous parts of
tho reservation," whicii congress
intended for grazing purposes, as
the land thrown open to settle
ment. Tho bill directs that these lands
shall be opened to settlement by
proclamation of tho presiden
within three months from its pas
sage and be disposed of under the
general provisions of the home
stead law and ui.der the rules and
regulations adopted for the open
ing of tho Comancho reservation
heretofore, under tho act of June
G, 1000. The landB are to bo sold at
81 25 per acre, and entries may be
commuted after fourteen months
of residence and improvement.
If tho measure passes congress
it will oiler another chance to the
unlucky ones who failed to draw a
farm in tho last lottery under more
favorable conditions as to clear
litlo, as it will be only necessary
to reside on the homestead four
teen months to obtain title.
FRISCO SYSTEM,

Track, Making it the Oreatcat
System In tho Country.
The Frisco will build two thou
sand miles of new track within the

Mr. J. D. Johnson of tho big
coutracling firm oi Johnson Bros.,

President Yoakum left for Europe.
'How much railway construction
have you on hand?" said the pres
ident of the Frisco when Mr. John
eon called on him. "About 000
miles said Johnson. Don't load
upJttoo heavy, Johnson, for we
bavo decided to build about 2,000
miles," continued Mr. Yoakum.
ThoBo who have kept well post
ed on the railway situation believe
that tho Frisco' 2,000 miles ol
new track will be about ob follows:
From the terminus of the Okla
homa Oily road at Quanah to

C0LLEY COMMITTED.
Youthful Forcer Confesses tils Crlms
In Commissioner's Court.
When arraigned In the Commis
sioner's court last week,
John Colley, tho youthful forger
arrested by Deputy James Wilk
erson at Seneca, Mo , mado a com.
plele confession of his crime,
Incidentally he attempted to
implicate another boy, but tbo
authorities givo little credence lo
that feature ct his story. He gave
aB Ills exouao that he needed the
money to gamble with, but in
several instances showed that he
was not telling an entirely straight
Btory. A Utl-r which ho had writ
ten lo a girl in Seneca was opened
by tho authorities tnd proved the
boy to have an unusual amount of
the criminal instinct. In it, he
conveyed the intelligence that be
purposed placing the blame on
another boy, and expected by that
defense to gain his freedom.
Later in the same letter he said
that his father bad arrived hero
and had paid his fine segregating
$300 00.
Being unable to communicate
with the boys father, A, C. Colley,
who is at. present in Oklahoma,
Commissioner Slanfield commit
ted him in default of a $500 00
bond.
He will be held here until furth
er efforts are made to communi
cate with bis relatives, and in case
they are not reached within a
reasonable lime, he will be sent to
jail to await the action of tho
grand jury.

Congressman Bartholdt has pre
sented an amendment to tho pro
posed treaty between the govern
ment and the Chickasaw and Choo
taw Indians, which Is now being
considered by a subcommittee of
tho house commi'tee on Indian

INDIAN APPROPRIATION.
Uelng Strenuously Discussed In tho
Conference Committee.
The conference on the Indian
appropriation bill Jhavo been
in session two days and have
practically gono through the meaa
uro. Somo fifteen or Bixteen points
of disagreement hava been paBsod
ovor for future action. The prljw
oipal fight seems to be over tho
townslte provision put in by tho
senate Tfn senate conferees are
Piatt, Stewart and Rawllngs, and
the bouse conferees aro Sherman,
Curtis and Little. Tho different
towns in tho Indian Territory
have large delegations in Wash
ington to feouro the establishment
of a court for their towns. So far
the committeo has given them no
boarings, but has called in indivi
duals for examination on sundry
points .
PROPER VIEW,
Prominent Choctaw Telia Why he
Favors the Moon Ulll.
Dr. Harking, a prominent Choc
Ijw of Coaigate, gives the follow
ing very good reasons why he
favors tho Moon bill:
"As far as I can observo thero
is practically a unanimity of Ben
timent favoring the Moon bill. We
contend that local self-government
will bo tho stepping stone to pros
perity and through tho provisions
for represcntallmjn congress, en
able us lodlscontinuo to fight our
battles in tho third house,or lobby,
and carry our grievances to the
attention of tha govornmonl on the
floor of the house. Wo will thus
rid ourselves of being a prey for
designing corporations who relard
our interests in order to advance
theirs.
"I am heartily in favor of tear
ing loose as far as possible from
departmental rule. With addi
tional courts, county government,
suffrage, schools, roads and bridges
Indian territory will work out its
own destiny. A continuatibn of
present conditions means to re
tard the development of our great
resources. With eolf-government,
immigration will follow, bringing
prosperity to all alike.
"I am for the Moon bill
as aro a great many people
who have taken varit.ua views of
legislation prior to tho introduc
tion of the Territory or Jefferson
measure."
DREW COLOR LINE.
Orand Jury at South HcAIester Re
fused to Serve with Negro.
Tho grand jury at South Mo.
Alester refused to serve last week
when a negro was appointed a
member of the jury.
The negro, whose nreeenco was
objectionablo to the jurors, was
vr. a. Weber, editor of tho news
paper published at South McAles
known ob tho "Voice of the Peo
ple." Weber wob put on the jury
alter the noon recees Thursday
and served until the jury filed
their report at tho convening of
court.
As soon as the jurors filed back
Into their rooms, they issued an
ultimatum to District Attorney
Brown, informing him that they
would not serve bo lone as the
nogro was a member of the jury,
and then adjourned.
The custom of putting negroes
on tho jury is not a new one in
the territory.
District Attorney Soper attempt
ed to have one appointed jury

from bo doing. by Judge Springer.
The jurors fully realize that
they are in contempt of court, but
say they will go to jail beforo they
will servo with Weber.
Condemned In nissourland Conflgca

Judge Clark, of St. Louis, has con
victed and fined heavily a number of
grocers for selling baking powders con

The week before the health depart

FIERCE WINDS
Inspired Dreams of a Gen
uine Kansas Cyclone In
Vinita.
0HET0PA RECEIVED
Full Forco of tho Storm and Sev
eral Buildings wero Wrecked,
Though n o Casualties
Have been Reported,
Territory Orchards
Sutler.
An incipient cyclone came out of
Kansas last week, and sweeping
Boulb Ihrough the territory left a
trail of uprooted Irees, and created
havoc among the frailer structures
that opposod its course.
At Chetopa, the howlbg wind
was screwed to concert pilch, and
when it bad finished its perform
ance in tbo town, several frame
buildings had been demolished,
and part of a large business struc
ture was wrecked. When the
territory was reached, the storm
area Increased with a correspond
ing reduction of force. A number
of frame shacks were sent bounc
ing over the prairio, but the larger
structures escaped with a severe
rocking. Tho greatest damage
was done to fruit trees, a number
being blown to the ground.
At Welch, the wind reached a
tremendous velocity, but outside
of some dismantled orchards, the
town escaped with littlo damage.
No definite reports of any casual
ties have been received, though;;!!
was reported thislmorntaf- that
several persons had sustained in
juries from flying debris, at
several points in tho track of tho
storm.
The telephono service to the
north was put out of commission
through the wires being grounded,
but the actual damage was com
paratively small.
When the storm reached Vinita
it had spread out over a great area
and was rapidly losing its force,
though it howled through the
town at about 50 miles an hour.
No damage was reported in this
immediate vicinity except injury
to trees. Ineomeofthe exposed
seolions of the town, fears were
prevalent that tho storm would
develop into a genuine Kansas
twister, but the rapidity with
which it subsided soon allayed
them.
LATER REPORTS.
Three Killed and six Injured by
Cyclone at Joplin.
Joplin, Mo., April 25. Joplin
was visited by the moBt de
structive storm in its history, dur
ing which at least three persons
were killed outrignt, six fatally in
jured, a ecore or more seriously
hurt and 8300,000 worth of proper
ty destroyed.
The fury of tho storm broke
looso at 4:85 o'clock this afternoon.
There was no premonition of its
terrible violence. There was an
ulter absence of (be usual funnel
shaped cloud, and the clouds
looked no more threatening than
(hose which produce the ordinary
spring thunderstorms. The wind
was a straight gale, but it was of
terrible velocity, whipping down
scores of houses in the south part
of the city and reducing to kind).
ing wood 8100,000 worth of tho
finest mining plants in this district
Tho worst havoo in Joplin city
was in a territory four blocks wide
commencing at the west limits of
the city at Seventeenth street and
ending at Seventh Btreet on the
east. Within this narrow belt the
destruction is visible on every
hand. Moat of the houses aro not
completely ruined, but there is
soarely a building which is not
damaged. No one was killed here
but some persons had miraculous
esnapes.
Passing east from the main por.
tion of the suburban districts
known as Moonshine Hill and
HelghtB. Three peopls were kill
od at Moonshine Hill.
Nowa of tho terrible destruction
did not reaoh the city until late
tonight and an investigation will
not be possible until morning.
The hill is now a tangled mass of
debris and not a single house is
left standing. It is populated
mainly by miners, who live in lit-
tie ehaoks. Of tho little home ol
BldwellHujiterlnot a stiokif limber
is loll standing and the three la.
mates of tho house aro dying, all
having their skulls fractured.
It is feared that tho mining
camps farther west which oeemed
to havo been in tho path of tho
storm havo suffered groat damage,
but no roporls havo been reoeivod
from there.
