"I wonder who runnin' fer president on de 'publikin ticket?" said Brother Dickey, as he laid the morning paper down, with his brass-rimmed spectacles. I won der who de head man on dat ticket is? I done hearn tell dat Br'er 'Kinley got de nomination, but 'spite er dat, 'pears lak Br'er Goosefelt is de leadin' boss in de footrace. Head he is, eh dar be h : he hop f u'ra place ter place lafr' a flea playi leapfrog in fly tim,; en f'um de way he cracklin yo'd t'mk he was de only googe in de barnya'd dat had feathers on' im Yon Bee, he fit en font in de war wid de Spaniels: dar wuz n hoss kilt under im, en lucky it wuz fer 'im, kaze hit wuz a Texas hoss, en ef he hadn't got Jcilt he'd er tho'wed 'im head over heals en broke his neck fo' he could draw his pension.

You see ef he don't!" Cenflict of Authority is thus Raised and Lively Times May Ensue. Gntbrie, 0. T., Sept. L'Of Act ing under instructions from At torney ' General Griggs, united States Indian Agent Kandlctt, at Anadarko, has issued orders to the Indian police to clear the Kiowa and Comanche reservation of srospectors and miners who are at work in the Wichita moon tntna. The intruders were remov ed once befon-, but they after wards secured an injunction at El Keno restraining the agent from interfering with them, on ground that the act of Jane 6 de clared the mining laws to be in effect on the reservation from Washington a copy of an opinion of the attorney general's depart ment, which concludes as follows: "The country is siill an Indian reservation and it is necessary to the peiforniance by the United Stages of the obligations assum ed in said agreement that it 9'nonld remain in the state of a reservation until those obligations shall have been discharged by a full compliance therewith. It is still Indian country and under the jury) diction of this department. The re moval of any percon from Indian country rests with the discretion of the Indian agent, and the commiss ioner of Indian affairs, under the provisions of the secretary of the interior. Colonel Eandeltt is virtually in structed by the attorney general to disregard tile instructions of the court, and there will be some lively times on the reservation. If the miners resist the police troops will be Bent from Fort Sill, as the de partment is determined to keep ev erybody out until the day of the opening and give everybody an equal show. COLOR LINE WIPED OUT Among Both the Living and the Dead in the City of Galveston. MARTIAL LAW LAST DAY The Dead are Being Cremated as Fast as They are Taken From the Ruins. Galveston, Sep. 20.-This even ing Mayor Jones proclaimed that martial law would cease tomorrow aud the civil authorities would assume direction of municipal af fairs. This was done at the sug gestion of General Scurry, who ex pressed the belief that couditions had reached such a stage that the civil aulhorites were able to cope with the sttuation. This however does not mean the imme diate withdrawl of the militlj They are to co-operate with the city oflicials in the enforcement of order and will continue on duty as a part oj the government. Since martial law has prevailed inGalvestou good order Jias re sulted. It was feared in some quarters that when it became known that the militia has given way to civil authority the looting and robtery began after the storm and continued under the declara tion of the martial law might re commense. The military forces will be used as a check on this character of crime, however and will in all probability remain here for the next ttreuty days. The shootiug of negroes by military men for lootiue has had a most salutary effect aud has in a meas ure terorized the offenders,' still there are cases of robbery report ed daily, which are being dealt with severely.
