Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. Vol 8 RESOLUTIONS. The Republican State Central Committee in session at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, May 23, 1907, passes the following resolutions: We endorse the position taken by the Governor that before he can legally call an election to pass upon the adoption or rejection of the proposed constitution, the constitution must be first filed with the Secretury of Oklahoma. In view of the fact that no constitution has yet been filed with the Secretary of the Territory, and in view of the further fact that the election has not been called, and further that the Governor of the Territory and the officers of the constitutional convention, have been enjoined from calling said election, by the United States Court, it is the opinion of this Committee that no Republican conventions, state, congressional, judicial or county, or precinct caucuses for the selection of delegates should be held by the Republican party until after the call is legally made for the election to vote upon the proposed constitution, and that no delegations to any such conventions shall be seated in said conventions if selected prior to the date of the call for said state convention by said state Chairman, and no nomination of candidates shall be made in congressional or judicial districts or in any county until the State Convention has adjourned and declared its position upon the proposed constitution and settled the quesstion as to whether a ticket should be nominated. It is therefore ordered that the holding of the State Convention at Tulsa, June 6, 1907, be and is hereby deferred, and that the Chairman of the State Central Committee is hereby ordered to call the State convention at Tulsa immediately after said election is legally called. Further, the State Committee Muskogee, I. T., hereby extends thanks to SecWm. H, Taft for his acceptance of the invitation extended by the Chairman of this Committee to address the Republicans of the new state of Oklahoma. It is further the sense of this Committee that in the event we do not get statehood under the present enabling act the Republican party is in favor of an enabling act providing for joint statehood for Indian Territory and Oklahoma upon equal terms to adopt a just constitution, republican in form. It is further ordered, that the Chairman of the State Central Committee at once forward a copy of these resolutions to each chairman of each county central committee: and to the end that perfect harmony may prevail among the Republicans, and that conflicting resolutions be not adopted, it is the sense of the State Central Committee that the date of holding all conventions, county, judicial, congressional and state, heretofore called, be at once deferred. THE AFRO-AMERICAN PRESS PRACTICALLY A UNIT IN SUPPORT OF THE JAMESTOWN NEGRO EXHIBIT. A Message of Cheer From Chairman Calloway. Forfolk, Va.' May 22, 1907 For the past few weeks the special agent of the Negro Exhibit in connection with the Jamestown Exposition has been sending out money orders for subscriptions to the entire Negro press of the land, and up to this time more than three hundred of our papers have received attention at his hands, under the authority of the Executive Committee designated by the General Government. The managers of the exhibit are strong believers in the efficacy and influence of the race press, and in addition to setting apart a special day for the entertain- ment of the "press fraterniiy," they are taking pains to secure copies of every known Negro publication in order to place before the public a complete exhibit of the journalist strength of the American Negro, to be kept in ready access of the people throughout the life of the Exposition. Visitors from all sections of the country will be thus enabled to find their home papers constantly on file, and keep in touch with what is going on among the friends they have left behind. There are in this country fully four hundred newspapers, magazines and periodicals of various kinds published by Colored people, and when they are all displayed in a single collection, the effect will be startling to those who have not been in a position to know the tremendous strides the race has been making in the intelligent use of printers ink. This graphic demonstration of our journalistic resources, which will be in charge of Mr. R. W. Thompson of Indiana, will be unquestionably one of the most noteworthy features of of the entire Exposition. In referring to Negro journalists in general and their attitude toward the great race enterprise now being made ready at Jamestown, Mr. Thomas J. Calloway, the experienced and undefatigable chairman of the Executive Committee, in charge of the work said to a representative of the press: "One of the especially pleasing circumstances connected with the task of getting together the Negro exhibit for the Jamestown Exposition is the practical unanimity with which the movement is being supported by the Colored press of the country. Ninety-nine per cent of the four hundred Negro journals in the land are in hearty accord with the plans and purposes of the Executive Committee. They sre not only cheerfully publishing the facts we are giving out week by week, No 35 giving of their space at no small sacrifice, but many of the editors are writing us personal letters of an encouraging tenor, and volunteering to render any service within their power to make the exhibit one of which the race may be proud. That such cordial and unsolicited assurances are very helpful to us goes without the saying. We endeavor to be as careful as we can, and give out no statement not absolutely reliable." $2 To $5 per day. Is easily made by our agents. Will you be one?

Agricultural Prosperity. Signs multiply pointing to another year of agricultural prosperity. From every direction come reports that the hardier grains and fruits are doing well, and in the winter wheat region the prospects are particularly cheering. The New York Tribune has made careful inquiry in the great grain-producing states, and announces that "the year's wheat crop will be a bumper one, despite reports of bugs and drouth;" that Kansas, the foremost wheat-growing state, has the largest winter wheat acreage ever planted, with the growing grain classified at 100, or perfect condition; that Iowa is planning for the greatest harvest ever gathered there; that in Nebraska the condition of winter wheat is 100, while Minnesota and South Dakota seem certain of big yields, with increased acreage and plants in unusually fine condition. In some parts of the middle west there has been a slight falling off, and in Texas and Oklahoma some damage by bugs has been wrought, but the general outlook is most reassuring. And a big year for crops means steadiness and confidence in commercial circles. It is interesting to know that the Golden Rose of Virtue, which the pope has decided to bestow on the queen of Spain, and which was first presented by Pope Urban VI. to Johanna of Sicily, is a mimic plant of pure gold standing in a golden pot. The leaves of the plant are set with small diamonds in imitation of dew drops. A palm leaf blessed by the pope is set in the central flower. Among the living princesses who possess the Golden Rose are Queen Christina of Spain and ex-Empress Eugenie. It is the highest order that the pope can confer on a Catholic princess. Prof. E. Clayton Wyland, of the school for the deaf in Frederick, Md., himself a mute, is the first person so afflicted to be admitted to membership in the Knights of Pythias. He has just joined lodge No. 29 of the city named. In order that he might be admitted it was necessary for members of the lodge who administer the degree to learn the sign language. Knights of Pythias law forbidding that either questions or answers of the initiation ceremony be written down. He will be the silent member of the lodge, as it were. When John Burns entered the British cabinet there were rumors that he would refuse to don the cocked hat and epaulets of official uniform. The king asked him about it. "Not true," replied Mr. Burns, "and, besides, I have already worn your majesty's uniform." The king naturally asked when that was. "When I was in Pentonville," answered Mr. Burns, alluding to his three months' sentence after the Trafalgar square riots. Belgium is a land of low wages. In Ghent the minimum pay an hour for printers, roofers, glaziers, painters and boilermakers is seven cents—70 cents for ten hours' work—and of blacksmiths, locksmiths, carpenters, masons, plumbers and electricians eight cents. Paris waiters who struck for the privilege of wearing mustaches have been victorious. The bristle will continue occasionally to drop into the Paris soup. Investigation will show that this 95,000 acres comprises one of the finest bodies of Agricultural and Truck Farming land in the entire state, commencing about 36 miles south of San Antonio and about two miles south of Pleasanton (the county seat of Atascosa County), and extending through Atascosa and a part of McMullen Counties, to within 17 miles of my 60,000-acre Live Oak County Ranch, which 1 in four months last year, sold to 4,000 Home Seekers, on liberal terms, without interest on deferred payments, which gives the poor man, from his savings, a chance to secure a good farm and town lot for his home in town. I will donate and turn over to three bonded Trustees, $250,000 from the proceeds of the sale of this property to the purchasers, as a bonus to the first railroad built through this property on the line which I shall designate. This property is located on that middle plain between East Texas, where it rains too much, and the arid section of West Texas, where it does not rain enough. Its close proximity to San Antonio, the largest city in the State, with a claimed population of over 100,000, enhances its value as a market for Agricultural and Truck farm products far beyond the value of similar land not so favorably located. Topography. Level to slightly rolling. Large, broad, rich valleys, encircled by elevations suitable for homes; 90 per cent. fine farming land, balance pasture land. Forestry. Ash, Elm, Gum, Hackberry, Live Oak, Mesquite, Pecan, abundant for shade, fencing and wood. Soil. About 60 per cent, rich, dark, sandy loam, balance chocolate or red sandy loam, usually preferred by local farmers, and each with soil averaging from 2 to 4 feet deep, with clay subsoll, which holds water. Climate. Mild, balmy, healthy, practically free from malaria, few frosts, no snow, no hard freezes; continuous sea breeze moderates extremes of heat and cold, producing warm winters and cool summers. Average temperature about 62 degrees. Rainfall. From the Government record, it is safe to assume that the rainfall on this property has been fully 35 inches per year, which is more than some of the old States have had, and is plentiful for ordinary crops properly cultivated, and for Grass Growing. Improvements and Water. This property is fenced and cross-fenced in many large and small pastures, with four barbed wires, with posts about 12 feet apart. Also a number of fine shallow wells. Also a number of fine Lakes and Tanks. Also, a number of fine flowing Artesian Wells, whose crystal streams flow for miles and miles down those creeks, whose broad, rich valleys, irrigable from those continuously flowing streams, make it the ideal place for the Marketing Gardener who desires to raise from two to three crops of marketable produce on the same ground every year. This land is adapted to profitable culture of Beans, Cabbage, Celery, Cucumbers, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Beets, Carrots, Onions, Radish, Squash, Strawberries, Cauliflower, Okra, Oyster Plant, Peas, Rasberries, Turnips, Apricots, Cantaloupes, Grapes, Irish Potatoes, Olives, Sweet Potatoes, Bananas, Dates, English Walnuts, Figs, Melons, Peanuts, Barley, Blackberries, Broom Corn, Lemons, Plums, Tobacco, Alfalfa, Rye, Oranges, Peaches, Pecans, Corn, Cotton, Oats, Wheat, Apples, Pears. Page 63 of the book entitled "Beautiful San Antonio," officially issued by the Business Men's Club of San Antonio, dated May, 1906, says: "It is readily conceded by all those who know anything about Texas that the most prolific agricultural section is that which recognizes San Antonio as its logical center, particularly that portion directly south of San Antonio, with the Gulf of Mexico bordering on the southeast and the Rio Grande bordering on the south and west. "Within the last four or five years, in the territory named, special attention has been given to growing vegetables, they maturing at a time when they secure the maximum prices on Northern markets, which markets they virtually invade without a competitor. The profit in growing vegetables in this territory will be seen by an examination of the following figures, secured from reliable sources, showing Net Earnings Per Acre: "Watermelons from $75.00 to $200.00. "Cantaloupes from $40.00 to $75.00. "Cabbage from $125.00 to $225.00. "Cauliflower from $75.00 to $225.00. "Beans and Peas from $100.00 to $125.00. "Tomatoes from $125.00 to $400.00. "Potatoes from $60.00 to $150.00. "Onions from $150.00 to $800.00. "Tabasco Peppers from $500.00 to $900.00 per acre. "The Chicago Record-Herald publishing the following individual experiences in South Texas: "Men who came here with $500 and $600 a few years ago are now independently rich. "A young man who came to this country for his health, bought 18 acres and in one year cleared over $6,000 from it, which was $333.33 per acre. "Another man, 65 years old, from 79 acres, sold $5,000 worth of produce, from which he realized $63.29 per acre and then raised a Cotton crop on part of it, which made him $35 per acre, which made the same land net him $98.29 per acre for that year. "Another man from 80 acres in 1904 realized as follows: From Onions, $2,226.91; from Cotton, $1,800; 200 bushels Corn; 12 tons Hay; 5,000 pounds Sweet Potatoes. "Another made $3,200 from five acres of early Cabbage, which was $640 per acre, and grew a second crop of Corn and Peas on the same ground that year. "Another realized $27,000 from 90 car loads of Cabbage, averaging $300 per car, which was $207.69 from each of the 130 acres he had planted. "Another netted, above all expenses, $60 per acre on Potatoes, and planted the same ground in Cotton that year from which he realized $35 per acre, which made that ground yield him $95 per acre. "Another realized $32,966 from 230 acres in Melons, which was $143.33 per acre. "Another netted $21,000 from 35 acres in Onions, which was $600 per acre. "Another netted $17,445, or $79.25 per acre from nine cuttings of 220 acres in Alfalfa, which yielded in one year 2,475 tons and sold at $11 per ton. "Another received $900 from one acre in Cauliflower; sown in July, transplanted in August, and marketed in December." The same authority quotes the following statement from the Hon. Joseph Daily, of Chillicothe, Ill., who owns thousands of acres in the Illinois Corn Belt. He says: "I am one of the heaviest taxpayers on farm lands in Mason and Tazewell Counties, Illinois, and I have been familiar with the conditions around San Antonio for 12 years. Any thrifty farmer can get rich, and make more money off of this cheap land, acre for acre, than any land in the State of Illinois, that sells from $150 to $225 per acre."

Mixture of Hard-Boiled Eggs That Is Not Indigestible. Six hard-boiled eggs that have been thrown into ice-cold water as soon as they were boiled, to make the shells slip off easily. Five minutes later roll each gently on the table, cracking the shell without breaking the egg. Peel off the shells; cut the eggs in half with a sharp knife; take out the yolks, rub to a powder and mix with the same quantity of cold chicken or of ham, minced. Make a soft paste by working into the mixture some good gravy; season to taste, and form into balls of the same size and shape as the original yolks. Pack into the whites, to resemble whole eggs. Arrange these in the middle of a hot platter; surround with fried potatoes, cut into strips to simulate straw; set the dish in the oven, covered, just long enough to heat the eggs to the heart, and serve; or, you may make the paste softer with gravy and heat it to a boil in a saucepan before filling the hollowed whites. It will then take less time to reheat in the oven. In either case potatoes and gravy must be hot. Pass more gravy with the dish. A Duck's Nest. Boil, chill and halve the eggs. Set the yolks in a bowl, and the bowl, covered, in boiling water at the side of the range. With a thin, keen blade shred the whites into imitation straw, and arrange them in the shape of a nest on a hot platter. Season with salt and white pepper, butter abundantly, cover and set in the oven. Now and then butter again, lest they dry and shrivel. Work the pounded yolks into a paste with an equal quantity of minced cold duck (or turkey). Moisten well with butter and bind with a beaten raw egg. Make into oval balls to imitate eggs; arrange within the fence of shredded whites; pour over all a cupful of rich drawn butter, and set, covered, in the oven for ten minutes to heat. Pair of Banana Dishes. Banana Pie.—Line a pie plate with rich crust and then place a layer of rich smooth apple sauce on the bottom; over this place a layer of thinly sliced bananas, sprinkle with lemon juice and powdered sugar; place over all a thin layer of puff paste and bake. Baked Bananas.—The bananas are cut into quarters and arranged in an agate baking dish; a mixture is then prepared of one-third cup of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. Half of this is poured over the bananas, which are then set in the oven to bake for 20 minutes; while baking the fruit should be frequently basted with the rest of the sauce, and when done they are truly delicious, and may be served at almost any meal, hot or cold. To Take Impressions of Leaves. This is a most fascinating occupation, although at this time of year there is not a very wide field for such pastime. Procure some lamp-black and linseed oil at any colorman's, and mix the two together until of a greasy consistency. Now make a small pad with a piece of chamois leather, dip it into the mixture and apply it very lightly to the under part of the leaf; take great care not to apply it too thickly, and rub off any superfluous black. Place the leaf so treated between two sheets of white paper, and lay another over all and rub firmly, being careful not to shift the paper. If the impression is a trifle blurred, repeat on clean paper and a clear impression will be the result. For Ease in Walking.

"Whiskers" was a word formerly used to designate the hair on the upper lip. Scott more than once speaks of "whiskers on the upper lip" and so does Defoe in "Robinson Crusoe." Johnson defined a "whisker" as the hair growing on the upper lip or cheek unshaven; a mustachio." It seems to have taken its name from a fancied resemblance to a small brush, to "whisk" properly meaning to sweep, and a "whisker" having been a particular kind of feather brush—also, in the slang of a former time, a switch or rod. In the seventeenth century a "whisker" signified among other things a brazen lie, a "whopper." Return of the Prodigal. "I do play in tough luck sometimes," declared the impecunious girl.

I do not hesitate to say that in my judgment, a large percentage of disease is caused by poorly selected and improperly prepared food. My personal experience with the fully-cooked food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to speak freely of its merits. "From overwork, I suffered several yea s with malnutrition, palpitation of the heart, and loss of sleep. Last summer I was led to experiment personally with the new food, which I used in conjunction with good rich cow's milk. In a short time after I commenced its use, the disagreeable symptoms disappeared, my heart's action became steady and normal, the functions of the stomach were properly carried out and I again slept as soundly and as well as in my youth. "I look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect food, and no one can gainsay but that it has a most prominent place in a rational, scientific system of feeding. Any one who uses this food will soon be convinced of the soundness of the principle upon which it is manufactured and may thereby know the facts as to its true worth."

Rivers' Ingeniously Baited Trap Was Worthy of Success. Rivers was sitting at his desk, with an unfinished page of manuscript before him, deeply absorbed in thought. Brooks entered the room. "What's the matter, old chap?" asked Brooks. Rivers looked up with a heavy smile. "I am struggling with a conundrum," he said. "Let's have it." "It isn't finished yet." "How far have you got?" "All I've written is the answer: 'One is a planked shad, and the other is a plaided shank. I've got to have a question for it." "That's easy. All you need is something Scotch, isn't it?" "By George!" exclaimed Rivers, grabbing his hat. "I believe you're right. Thanks, dear boy! I'll make it a hot scotch." Brooks glared at him, but he took him out.—Chicago Tribune. BABY ITCHED TERRIBLY. Face and Neck Covered with Inflamed Skin—Doctors No Avail—Cured by Cuticura Remedies. "My baby's face and neck were covered with itching skin similar to eczema, and she suffered terribly for over a year. I took her to a number of doctors, and also to different colleges, to no avail. Then Cuticura Remedies were recommended to me by Miss G—. I did not use it at first, as I had tried so many other remedies without any favorable results. At last I tried Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent Pills, and to my surprise noticed an improvement. After using three boxes of the Cuticura Ointment, together with the Soap and Pills, I am pleased to say she is altogether a different child and the picture of health. Mrs. A. C. Brestlin, 171 N.

General Breakdown Caused by Deficient Blood Quickly Corrected by This Tonic Remedy. A feeling of general weakness, poor appetite, loss of breath after the slightest exercise and broken sleep are some of the symptoms of general debility. You may think that they have no relation to each other and that you will worry along, hoping all the time to feel better soon. This is a mistake, for every one of the symptoms is caused by bad blood, which must be made pure and new before health will be restored again. A tonic treatment is necessary and for this purpose there is no better remedy than Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. J. G. Havey, of 95 Willow St., Chelsea, Mass., says: "I was sick for a number of years from general debility and indigestion. I was never free from stomach trouble and my nerves were so shattered that the least excitement unfitted me for any serious work. My sleep was restless on account of terrible pains in the small of my back. These pains would sometimes last for a month or two. My sight grew weak, there seeming to be a blur constantly before my eyes. I couldn't concentrate my mind on my work, and the attempt to do so completely exhausted me. "I was finally forced to give up a position I had held for twenty-eight years. After trying several medicines without help, I read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and gave them a trial. They made me feel so much better and so much stronger that I started in business for myself here in Chelsea. I have never had a return of my former sickness and cheerfully recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as an excellent nerve and blood tonic." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have long been recognized as an excellent tonic remedy in cases of indigestion and general debility, where the stomach and other organs of the body are weakened and disordered simply through lack of proper nourishment. They have also been especially successful in curing anaemia, rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and fevers. A pamphlet on "Diseases of the Blood" and a copy of our diet book will be sent free on request to anyone interested. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

WOMEN SUFFER WOMEN SUFFER Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate assistance. How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? The cause may be easily traced to some feminine derangement which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything,' backache, dragging sensations, flatulency, nervousness, and sleeplessness. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded, a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The best remedy for all these symptoms is THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT. He Comes in With the New Law—Paul Morton on His Opportunity. The new insurance law of the State of New York has opened up a promis- ing field for both men and women with brains and energy in the sale of life insurance. The law now provides standard forms of policies, each of which practically bears the hall mark of the State of New York, and this new order of things has established the sale of life insurance on a correct basis. The prohibition against rebating and extravagant allowances to agents has driven out of the business the old type of insurance agent, who in many cases virtually bought business, with large rebates, instead of selling it. His place is being taken by profes- sors, lawyers, school teachers of both sexes, and others, who find that being a life insurance agent under the nw system offers greater reward than their previous vocations. The law has reduced commissions but all of the commission now goes to the agent. Life insurance is something that everyone needs and under the pres- ent system its sale is being conducted with becoming dignity and propriety. Paul Morton, president of the Equita- ble Life Assurance Society, has taken the lead in building up an agency or- ganization that is in keeping with the demands of public sentiment, and the standard he has set for his company. He says: “We want new agents, both men and women, but none except en- ergetic, able and truthful people need apply. For such there is a splendid opportunity.” Mr. Morton’s policy of injecting new and vigorous blood into the agency force of the Society is meeting with success in all parts of the country.

Ninth Street, Kansas City, Missouri, CUPID GETS ~~ INTO CAME Oklahoma Man Bargained to Sell Life for $12,000 and the Oklahoma Purchaser Now Sues to Re cover the Investment— Married in the East COWETA: A little over a year ago Henry James, a young man about town, came to George Johnson, a wealthy ranchman residing near Cow- eta, with the following proposition: “Mr, Johnson,” he said, “I am a fail- ure and am in hard luck. Everything I try my hand at turns out badly, 1 have concluded that my entire fortune will be a string of blanks. For all the good I am to this world, I might as well be dead. The sooner I am out of the way, the better it will be for others capable of making good. They need the room I occupy. However, before I shuffle off this mortal coil, 1 would like to taste the sweets of ..e to the fullest for a short time. For this reason I have come to you. You have money sufficient to grant my re quest and I will far more than make it worth your while. For the sum of $12,000 cash down, I will have my life insured in yoyr favor for $50,000 with it specified in contract that I commit suicide within a year. Is it a go? Will you furnish me the money?” _ After thinking the proposition over for a while, Johnson agreed to it and | the contract was drawn up, James re- ceiving the $12,000. He took the money and went east. Everything was new to him and he lived high, Under the beneficient in- fluence of money life became ex- tremely sweet to the young man, Yet he was fully determined to fulfill his contract with Johnson to commit sul- cide when a few weeks before the ex- piration of the time he met a young heiress at Sag Harbor, New York, with whom he fell desperately in love. She reciprocated his affection. Love changed the course of his life. The marriage was celebrated last Monday, And so the expiration of the year finds James alive and with no 1n- tention of committing suicide. Now Johnson is preparing to bring suit to recover the $12,000. The case is at- tracting widespread attention. THEY DEMAND SERVICE Fruit Growers Discuss Plans for Form: ing Permanent Organization GUTHRIE; Preliminary steps were taken at the meeting here, attended by fruit growers from ‘all parts of the state, looking toward the forma- tion of a state fruit growers’ associa- tion. Local associations are now in existence in all of the principal fruit growing counties, which have been productive of very good results, and it is thought that scill greater bene- fits to the growers can be brought about by a state organization, espe- cially in bringing about uniformity in packing and shipping, and the great convention dealing with the transpor- tation companies, The question which was given es- pecial attention was that of holding fruit loaded at local points where the cars cannot be iced and prepared for through shipment, and representatives of the railroads and express compa- nies were here to talk over the mat- ter with the growers. Tho fruit men are anxious to have arrangements made whereby growers who are not in close touch with the central ship- ping points may make local consign- ments tc points where refrigerator ears can be supolied, : FRAUD 1S CHARGED Federal Suit Grows Out of Proposal to Remove College MUSKOGEE: Acting for the Creek nation, M. L. Mott filed a suit in the federal court charging the national board of home missions for the Pres- byterian church with fraud, The petition also mentions Pleasant Porter, chief of the Creek nation, and Cc. W. Turner, an intermarried citi- zen, as defendants in the vuit. The petition asks an order of court to restrain the board of home mis- sions from selling the land on which Henry Kendall college is locaicd, and grows out of the proposed removal of the college from its present location for the purpose of turning it over to the Oklahoma snyod to be converted into the state school for the Presby- terian church. Kendall cellege at Muskogee owns 27 acres of land in the city worth $150,000. The national board of home mfs- sions turned tais property over to the Oklahoma synod which proposed to lo- cate the school permanently in the state and make it the state school for the Presbyterian chureh. Tulsa se cured the permanent location, The land which Kendall college holds was granted by the Creek na- tion for one-half af the scheduled price under an act of congress to be used for school purposes only, and the school was not to be allowed to hold but ten acres. The action brought is for the pur- pose of restraining the board of mis- sions from selling the property, and to tansfer title to a part of the prop- ety back to the Creek nation, under the allegation that it has never been used for school purposes. C. W. Turner and Chief Porter orig- inally claimed the property and made a quit claim deed to the property to Kendall college. COLORED SYNOD TO OKLAHOMA Presbyterian Assembly Will, Meet Next Time in Kansas City _ COLUMBUS, O.: The 119th gen- eral assembly of the Presbyterian chureh concluded its work, crowding into the last two sessions a vast amount of routine business, much of which was of great importance to the church, There was no renewal, as had been expected, of the temper- ance controversy. On the contrary, the report of the permanent commit- tee on temperance was accepted with- out debate of a dissenting vote, The assembly decided to meet next year in Kansas City. _ The assembly established the col- ‘ored synod of Canadian in Oklahoma, ie being represented that the negro members of the church in that sec: tion desired a separate organization, The committee on church policy ruled with regard to territory where differ- ences of ace or language maxe separ- ation desiable, that when a petition for a separate synod or presbytery is presented, the same shall be granted and it shall not be necessary to se cure the consent of other members of the church in the same territoi, BROKE UP A DANCE Murderer Chained and Taken to Jail by a Posse of Citizens MUSKUGEE: Chained to a wagon, Fred Hart was brought to Muskogee by a posse of citizens and placed in jail on a charge of murdering L.
