Hesaysevery-thing is quiet in his domain except the agitation for statehood and is quite certain that the present congress will either admit Oklahoma as a state or extend the territorial government over the Indian country.

He believes that a townsite bill will be passed and probably the bill to allow naturalized Indians to select homesteads, Hit) acres for the head of the family, 80 for the wife and each child. This last bill would aid very material-It' in settling the single or double statehood question, for the first Indians to be naturalized would undoubtedly take their homesteads in some of the fine bottom land now gobbled up and rented out by the "squaw-men," and if they succeeded, as they would if backed by Uncle Sam, the Indians mid seek naturalization ir droves in order to get rid of the hated Comet Has been Thoroughly Itclittcd and Refurnished throughout.

You have just one more day and two nights left in which to review the past, fasten on to your delinquencies and errors of judgment and heart and hold them up in review before you with a view of profiting by them in the future. Men learn by experience, and, in spite or the old saying to the contrary, is the cheapest teacher to be found. You owe it to yourself to make this examination, this comparison of what you did with what you ought to have done. The beating of the gong these days at the depot is worse than a nightmare. It is always bad enough when the gong is beaten as it should be.

lightly and quickly, but si nee Bi. Hubbard has taken charge of it, its can only be imagined not described. Hubbard treats it as if it were a base drum; he holds bis breath, bares his arm and puts every atom of strength into each blow and the result is enough to wake the dead. If lie were instructed to notify the passcn- 6ers at Hackney and Chilocco that reakfast or supper were ready then there would be some excuse for the infernal din he creates and would succeed completely. But as it is ly to notify the people who get off the cars within a few feet, it is unnecessarily and preposterously loud and an entirely uncalled for torture.

The young ladies will act as ushers at the opera house next Thursday night at the performance of the Haverly's Minstrels. We predi that this will be one of the most popular innovations recently made. The young ladies selected are among the most handsome, popular and best young in the city, who lend themselves to the scheme because of the novelty in the first place, although the fact that they are left at home too frequently by the young men who "stag" it, may have something to do with it.

Anyway the young ladies will be there, and those who attend will be shown to their scats with a tact and grace never before equalled.
