TOIilBIE XXXIi WICHITA, KANSAS: TUESDAY MOBSTESra, DECEMBEE 5, 1899 mMER16 Is Nearly All There Is to the Opening of Congress, FORMAL PROTEST ENTERED He Is Treated With Perfect Personal Respect. HENDERSON NOW SPEAKER Financial Bill First to be Entroduced Senate Session Formal and as Brief as Possible. Washington, Dec 4. Enormous crowds witnessed the opening scenes in the h se today. The principal interest ecen erei in the disposition of ilr. Roberts, T ie Mormon representative from Utah. Those who anticipated a sensational de t. -uement were disappointed. The pro gram outlined by the Republican leaders at their conference on Friday night was partially carried out. The objection to the administration of the oath to 3Ir. Roberts was entered by Mr. Tayler of Ohio, as predicted, and he stepped aside w.'hout protest except to ask if by doing s he wived any of his rights. To this t-e speaker responded in the negative. It. re wiis not a protest from any quar- against the objection to the adminis "a'.ua of the oath to Mr. Roberts, but, i the contrary, the only voice raised, ept that of Mr. Tayler's, was that of Zl Rae, Democrat, of Arkansas, who ned with Mr. Tayler in his protest. J I. Tayler offered his resolution to re r the case to a special committee and v mutual arrangement the consideration Z the resolution was postponed until to ptow in order that the routine busi--- in connection with the organization r'ght be transacted today. Although "Ir Roberts was not sworn in today, he uied a seat. This, however, was by a. i accident, pure and simple. In the seat rawing lottery no provision had been J .ade for Mr. Roberts, but when the rawing was completed two others as 4 as himself had not been provided th seats and the speaker asked and ured from the house permission for e members who had not drawn seats make suche selections as they could. T'n r this authority Mr. Roberts got a t in an obscure portion of the hall. V daughter sat in the gallery and at..hd the proceedings from beginning n erd After the election of Speaker Henderson and Me Induction into office. 1 appointment of tha usual committee? wait upon the president, the seat- iwmg contest, with the usual amusing f fre? went off without a hitch. The v other feature out of the ordinary the adoption of the Reed rules as rules for the present congress. The I1 "locrats knew it was futile to moro t an. protest against the adoption of t -e rules, after the Republican decis- 5 upon this course In caucus, and the ite upon the resolution to adopt them ery brief. They were adopted by a party vote. i ie opening of the Fifty-sixth congress a nwn today attracted that widespread a nUon which always attaches to the a ual assembling of the nation's law- inkers. There was added interest in the 'it this year, for the many far-reach-. rjestions awaiting consideration gave -al importance to the return of con- Aide from this, the Roberts case r luced a phase which promised mf Jjtng outside of the ordinary devel- t -nents of an opening day. The outer t rs were open to all, and through these vel continuous streams of humanity, 1 the great corridors, galleries and r ndas were fairly packed. As early as I o'clock, the conspicuous figures of i-"!? began to arrive. General Hen- .n went direct to the speaker's pri- .-race. Representative Richardson Tennessee, the Democratic house W, was early on the scene, con- i -r.ng with his Heutenants. Shortly be- 11 o'clock, Mr. Roberts of Utah. In -v hat and black frock suit, made his v through the crowd to the members' P v ite lobby. Here he chanced to meet Richardson and the two held a short f "frence as to whether Mr. Roberts -n i 1 seek to address the house. A buzz eminent followed the gentleman from T i'i wherever he went, bat there was r. .1 respectful demonstration. early in the day a monster pe- n said to consist of 7,W0.O names, -ting against the seating of Mr. T. rfs. was brought into the hall. It been collected by a New York news- k r It consisted of twenty-eight rolls names each about two feet in diame- eicased In the American flag. These were stacked up in the area in of the clerk's desk and were viewed i srreat curiosity. Later. Major Mc- I vi clerk of the house, ordered al! yr two of the rolls taken out into t 'bby. "M- Richardson of Tennessee, who was i. ;--d as the leader of the minority on rdy, came upon the floor early and i- moh surrounded by a group of Detn k s Mr. Roberts came into the ba 1 -lv after 11 o'clock, but he was not 'ally recognised and he retired to the K rxua almost Immediately.

Hie danghter sii in the members' gallery. Mr. Taylor cf Ohio, who represents President Mc 3Univys district, who was to conduct the cw against Mr. Roberts, was conferring w,'h his colleagues on the RepnbUean t 'e vs the minute hand of the clock oppo f the speaker's rostrum overtook the .r hand at noon, the gavel of the clerk c the last bsuee. Major McDowell, de scended with a. btutg. b feathers arose and the spectators in the galleries bowed their heads. In this stillness the voice of the blind chaplain. Rev. Henry Couden of Michigan, was elevated and his prayer made the occasion reverent. The reading: clerk then began calling the roll. Mr. Roberts sat listening in tently for his name and when it was called he responded "Here," in a loud voice. But he looked nervous and ill at ease. There were no demonstrations during roll call. "When it was concluded Clerk McDowell announced that 332 members had answered to their names, a quorum. Mr. Hepburn of Iowa oered a resolution, which was adopted viva voce, providing that the house proceed to the election of. a speaker for the Fifty-sixth congress. Thereupon Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio, as chairman of the Republican caucus, pre sented the name of David B. Henderson, of Icwa. Mr. Hay of Virginia, chairman of the Democratic caucus, nominated James D. Richardson of Tennessee. Mr. Ridgeley of Kansas nominated John C. Bell of Colorado, as the Populist candi date, and Mr. '-'Wilson of Idaho placed Francis G. Newlands of Nevada in nom ination, as the candidate of the Silver party. The roll was then called. Mr. Newlands, himself a candidate, voted for Mr. Richardson. The roll call resulted: Henderson, 177; Richardson, 153; Bell, 4; Newlands, 2. The clerk thereupon announced the election of Mr. Henderson. He designated Mr. Richardson, Mr. Bell and Mr. New lands as a committee to escort the speaker to the chair. "When the speaker ascended the rcs trum Mr. Richardson in a neat speech In troduced him and In response to the hearty cheers, ie addressed the house as follows: "Gentlemen of the house of representa tivesThe voice of this house has called me to gsave responsiblltses. For that call I am most profoundly grateful, and I am keenly sensible of the weight of the responsibilities -that attach to this great office I am encouraged however, by the thought that no member of this body can escape responsibility, either to his people or to his country. All of us are under bonds to do our best. "The approval of the country; the ap proval of one's own conscience; the at tainment of great results, are not secur ed by petty contests on narrow fields, but must be sought and won on broad, pa triotic lines of thought and action. "It is my duty, as it will be my aim and peasure, to impartially administer the laws adopted for our government, but no speaker can be successful unless ha has the co-operation of the members of this house. "The generous 'partiality and kindness that have been shown to me by the en tire membership nere encourage me to be lieve that such imperfections as I may have will be modified by the considerate and supporting disposition of those con stituting this great body. "I am ready to take the oath of of fice." In accordance with the time-honored custom, the eldest member of the house in point of service, Mr. Harmer of Penn sylvemia, administered the oath to the speaker. The speaker then announced that the oath would be administered to the members by states. As the names of the members were called they appeared at the bar in groups of about a dozn, and there, with raised hands, were sworn in by the speaker. "When the name of Brlgham H. Roberts was reached in the house roll call, the Utah membe-elect proceeded along to the area In front o fthe speaker's desk and awaited the administration of the oath. The moment for which all present were anxiously waiting had come, and a hush fell upon the assembly. Mr. Taylor of Ohio was on Tils feet asking for recogni tion. The speaker recognized him imme diately. "I object to the swearing in of the member-elect from Utah." began Mr. Taylor. "I do so, Mr. Speaker," he con tinued, "on my responsrbility as a mem ber of this house, and because specific, serious and apparently well-grounded Charges of ineJigrbirvty are anade against him. A transcript of the proceedings of court in Utah evidences the fact that he, claimant, was in 1359 convicted, or that he pleaded guilty, of the crime of un lawful cohabitation Affidavits and other papers in my possession indicate that over since then he has "been persistently guilty of the same crime, and that ever since then he has been and Is now a pol yg&misi. If the transcript and these affidavits and papers tell the truth, the member-elect from Utah is, in my judg ment. Ineligible to be a member of this house of representatives, because of tha statutory disqualification of the Ed munds law, and for higher and graver and quite as sound reasons. I ought also to eay. In addition tb what I have just said, that I have in my poetssstan a cer tified copy of the entry under which the claimant to this seat was naturalized, and that eminent counsel assert that if this be the record in the case this claim ant Is not a. citizen of the United States. I offer and express no opinion upon that proposition. Mr. Speaker, if It were possible to em phasise che gravity of these charges and the responsibility that is at this moment imposed upon this house, we will and that esnpbaois In the memorials, a small part of which could be physically oared for in this hall, but all of which. I now present to the house, from over 7.0M.OW American men and women protesting against the entrance of this representative-elect from Utah." At th conclusion of Mr. Taylor's re marks, Mr. McRae (Dem.. Ark.) briefly expressed hts concurrence In the protest of Mr. Taylor. If the charges hanginc over the head of the representative-eieot from Utah were true, he said, his being sworn in would be an assault upon every American home. If true. Mr. Roberts was guilty of a violation of the laws of the United States and of Utah, and the charges should be investigated. If they were proved, he said emphatically, in conclusion, there should aot be a vote in the baose in favor of allowing htm a seat in this body. Meantime Mr. Roberts had advanced to the head of the aisle and stood there Ir resolutely. "la view of the objection." said the speaker, addressing Mr. Roberts, "the gentlemen win step aside. "I do so," replied Mr. Roberts, "wltit the tuwerstandlng that by my Action I wtye none of my rights." "Kone of the gentleman's rights will be lost," said the speaker, and Mr. Roberta thereupon retired quietly to hi3 seat. fContiaced on Third FagcJ At -Modder River Incessant and Deadly. STORYOFAC0RRESP0NDENT Boer White Flag Disregarded -The Use of Dumdums. London, Dec. o. The correspondent of the Associated Press with Dord General Methuen's column, telegraphing from Modder nver last Thursday, says: I "The Waterloo of the campaign has J Seen fought and won. The battle was 'conducted with unprecedented stubborn I ness on both sides. There was one con Itinuous roar, like theexplosion of count less fire crackers. There was no flinching on either side and not a moment's pause. "For five hours the British batteries j poured tons of shrapnel and shell into the I Boer position. Lord Methuen had 22 guns, and each tired an average of 200 rounds. The Boers "had almost an equal number of guns, which, it is reported, were most ly served by French and German artil lerists. "It is believed that the Boers had occu pied the position seven weeks before and had spent the Interval In fortifying it and rendering it. as they considered, impreg nable. They did not eeem. to fear to spend their ammumtlon and their guns were well and smartly handled. "Owing to the bend in the rlver,on the right, the Boers had an opportunity o cross firing on the British attack. A Boer Hotchkiss was fired with marvelous ac curacy against a British Maxim, killing the sergeant in charge, wounding an of ficer and disabling the gun. This occur red quite at the beginning of the engage ment. Whenever the Boer fire was si lenced in one direction it was reopened immediately in another. "Owing to the terrific fire nobody in the plain was out of range. Stretchy bear ers found it impossible to go fo i rard in the few cases they were called upon to attend, and the wounded were compelled, if possible, to crawl out of the lines. "No quarter seems to have been given on either side. The British assert that, amid the bullets the ambuance wagons displayed their flags promiscuously to an advantage. There were repeatedly driven back and compelled to take refuge out of sight. "It is alleged that the Boers used dum-dums and made special targets of the horses on the plain, in the hope of hitting the riders. "While the Argyle Highlanders were pushing across the river they were 'fired upon from a house and several fell. Thereupon the High landers stormed the house, and, although the Boers hoisted a white flag no atten tion was paid to it, and all the Boers were shot. "It is reported that General Cronje, with his contingent, Tetreated toward Langeberg at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Others followed in the direction of Ja cobsdal and the main body, of ttne Boers retired with the guns about S in the evening. "On the following morning at daybreak ithe British fired a few shels Into the -village. Getting no response, a patrol of oavalry crossed the river and found the enemy's camp deserted. Dead Boers and many who wero dying were to be seen everywhere in the entrenchments, as well as numerous new graves. Several build ings were in smoking ruins. "Some of the Boer prisoners say that General Cronje was in supreme command. He had to whip his men to prevent them from deserting, and despite this many threw down their rifles and tied London, Dec 4. Julian Ralph, describ ing in the Daily Mail this morning the ibattle at Modder River, says: "I can tes tify that the British never once saw t f enemy, et they were not able to raise hand or foot without being riddled. De spite all this, however, the day belonged to the artillery. The infantry never ad vanced two paces during this day of hell The shells of bur "twenty guns were ac curately planted in the enemy's trenches and broke the heart of the Boers, for after dark tthey all retreated LONDON NOT SATISFIED y7r London, Dec 5. (4:39 a. m. There Is little further news from the seat of war. Even the latest accounts of the battle at Modder River fail to give an intelligent idea of what happened. There is a feel ing of disappointment and a continuing anxiety respecting General llethuen. The Times says editorially: "The battle af fords splendid proof of the unsurpassed qualities of the British soldier but while victories won solely by the exercise of these Qualities are indeed magnificent, thsr are not war. They fill us with pride, bur with pride not unmingied with re gret at the persistent perversity of cir cumstances which, apparently, prevents us obtaining equal or greater results by processes savoring a little of that syill tary science of which we hear so much." Mafeking is safe, or ms so on November The British had captured twenty-five burghers of Commandant Da Toit's force An Associated Press dispatch from Dur ban says that persons arriving there from Pretoria assert that the Boers are fun of conadecce and are well prepared for a six months' siege of Pretoria, Patriotic demonstrations in the the atres and music ball! of London continue unabated. There was a remarkable scene at the stmpire last evening, when Mrs. Brown Potter recited a poem called "Ordered to the Front." with soldiers and sailors grouped around her on the stage. On each side of Mrs. Potter stood a saner, oae carrying the American flag an dthe other the British flag.

DECISION AGAINST A TRUST Jndre Fcckham of the Supreme Court Hands Io"jvn an Important Decision "Washington, Dec 4. In the United States supreme court today the Addy stone pipe case was decided. This case involved the constitutionality of the com. bination of pipe manufacturers to manu facture pipe, which it was charged was a trust. The decision was handed down by Justice Peckbam, and was adverse to the combination. In reviewing the case Justice Peckham said it had been brought under the anti trust act of 1ES0 and that an injunction was asked to enjoin the corporations en gaged in the manufacture of water and gras pipe which composed the combina tion from continuing business 'under the agreement by which they had divided the territory of the United States among themselves and by which they had ar ranged fix prices. Under this agree ment the members of the combination provided for auctioning off the right to make bids for supplying with oipe cities not in allotted territory, the successful bidder to meet no opposition from other members of the trust, or if other bids were made none of them should be high er than that of the company to which the award had been made by the combina tion. In cases in which bids were asked in territory allotted to members of the territory the agreement was that no bids should be made except under the super vision of tho company In charge of that territory under the agreement. The charge was that such a combination was a violation of the clause of the constitu tion regulating interstate commerce. The district court in which the case was first heard refused to take this view of it, but it was reversed by the court of appeals of the Sixth circuit, which held the com bination to be antagonistic to the consti tution, ordering the issuance of the In junction prayed for. This latter decision was affirmed by the action of the su preme court with a modification that the decision should be construed as applying to interstate business only. Remarking upon the general aspect of the case Justice Peckham said: "Wo have no doubt that where the direct and immediate effect of a contract or com bination among particular dealers In a commodity is to destroy competition be tween them and others, that the parties to the contract or combinatiqn may ob tain Increased prices for themselves, such contract or amounts to restrain trade in the commodity, even though contracts to buy such commodity at the enhanced price are continually being made. Total suppression of the trade in the com modity is not necessary in order to ren der the combination one in restraint of trade. It is the object of the combina tion in limiting and restricting the right of each of tho members to transact busi ness In the ordinary way; as well as Its effect upon tha volum or extent .of the dealing In the comodity, that lj regard ed." The opinion then adds: "It Is almost needless to add that we do not hold that every private enterprise which may be carried on chiefly or in part by means of Interstate shipments, is going to be regarded as related to interstate com merce so as to come within the regulat ing power of congress. Such enterprises may be of the same nature as the manu facturing of refined sugar; that Is, the parties may be engaged as manufactur ers of a commodity which they there after intend at some time to sell, and possibly do sell, in another state, but such sale we have already held as an Incident to and not the direct result of the manufacture and so is not a regula tion of or an illegal interference with in terstate commerce. The principle Is not affected by anything herein decided." The decision draws a clear distinction between combinations affectmsr inter state commerce and those applying to one state only. The opinion attracted very great attention because It Is the first opinion on the subject of trusts which has been handed down since the subjects of trusts has come into great prominence. MOLINEUX'S TRIAL HAS BEGUN State's Attorney Koati Ilim in His Opeiiinz Speech. New York. Dc 4. The actual trial of Roland B. Mohneux, charged with caus ing the death of Mrs. Katherine J.

SYNOPSIS OF HIS REPORT Showing the Wonderful Pros perity of Oklahoma. Guthrie, O. T., Dec A. The following is a brief synopsis of Governor Barnes' annual report, taken from the report of the secretary of interior which will be laid before congress tomorrow: Governor Casslus M. Barnes, in his annual report, states that the territory is prosperous la every way, offering great opportunities for the securing of homes and the Investment of capital. It is about the size of the state of Ohio, and its population is conservatively es timated at 373.000. The territorial assessors this year re turn property for taxation valued at nearly 43,000.000, an increase of $9.O50,' over the returns made last year. Prop erty is returned at about 50 per cent of its real value, and only 30 per cent of the farm lands of the territory are on the tax, lists, the balance being still in the name of the government, the settlers not yet having proved up, yet the terri torial tax rate is but 5.2 mills for all pur poses. To this Is added the local rates In each county, but the total rate Is no where excessive, and is being yearly re duced in every county. The territory has a deficiency warrant indebtedness of $200,000; also a bonded debt ofiS.000 Incurred the first year of Its history to build institutions of learn ing. There are in the territory 1,923 or ganized school districts, all holding from three to nine months school, and the school population is over 110.000. Every district has a good school house, and many of the cities have school buildings aggregating In cost from $30,000 to 0. 000. Over 6,000 Quarter sections of school lands, the property of the territory, are leased, and the proceeds used to aid in carrying on the public schools and the higher Institutions of learning;' the In come from these lands Is approxlmately $200,000 per annum; $S3,-(29.72 was distribut ed to tbe district schools from this source last year. The social and religious conditions ex isting are about the some as those in the eastern states; there are nearly TOO churches, over 1,000 Sunday schools, and the church property is valued at over $500,00). All fraternal organizations arc well represented, social functions of all kinds prevail, and the women's clubs, Chautauqua societies and literary organ izations of various kinds are to bo found in every locality. "Notwithstanding the great rush of set tlers at the various openings of land in Oklahoma, there is still considerable gov ernment land subject to homestead entry, although such of It as Is suited to agri culture Is being rapidly taken. During the past year 665,747 acres, were taken by settlers: the number of acres open to settlement is approximately 6,3SS,373. The commerce of the territory is great and rapidly growing. oCtton, wheat and corn are bing shipped to South America, Europe, and even to Japan; flour goes to almost all the markets of the world: cattle and hogs to the markets of the nation. During the year there were shipped 5,584 cars of wheat. 7,800 cars of cattle, 3,0 cars of hogs. 3,000 cars of cot ton. 20") cars of flour and 1,200 cars of other ml!! stuff. In closing his report the governor has the following to say on the subject of statehood:- "It is the earnest wish of a large num ber of our intelligent and influential citi zens that a state government be accord ed to Oklahoma without further delay. Tne platforms of all political parties at their latest conventions have declared in favor of statehood upon such terms and with such boundaries as congress mnY In Its wisdom see nt to prescribe, and tested by the standards that have heretofore prevailed In the admission of new states Oklahoma is certainly entitled to all the rights and privileges of a state govern ment. No fair man can read tbe fore going report of the opening, settlement and development of this territory with out being convinced of the truth of this statement: "And yet there are many thoughtful people who have invested their capital and mads their homes here who benuve that it would be to the best interest of all, both now and for the years to come, to wait until such time as tbe Indian Territory, lying to tbe east and south o: Oklahoma, can be united with us in oae strong and wealthy commonwealth. Wei realise tbe fact that Immediate state hood with our present boundaries would largely Increase the exprmse of goAn men: and that tbe additional burdn m j be borne by the taxpayer. At the pre- j ent time only one-flfth of the land en- j tered and taken for homestead has bec patented and placed upon the lists of taxable property.

(Special Correspondence of the Eagle.) Washington, Dec. i. Delegate D. T. Flynn of Oklahoma today Introduced In the house his free homestead bill for Oklahoma. This Is the same bill introduced and fathered by Delegate Flynn in the Fifty fourth congress and which passed the house March 16. 1SG6. Mr. Flynn Is prepared to make the fight of his life on this bill, and expects to win out in this congress. If he does, t will be tho biggest thing ever hap pened to Oklahoma or to himself. The bill in full follows: An act providing for free homesteads on the public lands in Oklahoma Terri tory for actual and bona fide settlers, and reserving the public lands for that pjroose. Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States f America, in congress assembled, That all settlers under the homestead laws cf the United States upon the public linds acquired by treaty or agreement from the various Indian tribes in the Territory of Oklahoma, f.'ho have, or who shall hereafter reside upon the tract entered in good faith for the period re quired by existing law, shall be entitled to a patent for the land so entered, upon ihe payment to the local land officers the usual and customary fees, and no other or further charge of any kind whatsoever shall be reculred from such settler to entitle him to a patent for the lind covered by his entry; provided, that the right to commute any such en try and pay for said lands, in the option f any such settler and in the time and tt the prices now fixed by existing laws, shall remain in full force and effect. Sec. 2. That all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with the terms and provis ions of this act are hereby repealed. Delegate Dennis Flynn at last has found a bouse, and the troubles that as sail a congressman in that respect are now over for him. at lfast temporarily. He has gone out north to Mount Pleas ant and is auite nicely located. R. II. FAXON. Washington. Dec. 4. Lively competition occurred in the house of representatives fr the honor of introducing the first measure, but by general consent every thing gave way to the caucus financial 1 .11. Among the first bills was one by Mr. Flynn for free homesteads in Okla li me. The first joint resolution was by Mr. Qapron, Connecticut, for a constitu n n amendment against admitting polyg n mists to congress.

What course Ter rill's attorney will pursue to secure the nnvlct's release is not known here, but Terrill makes all kinds of claims con (cernlng the proceedings under which h1 was convicted and has given the prison warden no little trouble. Governor Barnes "us designated Hon. A. II. Huston, who, j -s prosecuting attorney for Logan coun--. prosecuted Terrill, to go to Leaven worth and represent the territory when the proceeding comes up for hearing. Terrill was easily the most notorious of the early day noted men in Oklahoma. He was elected on the Populist ticket to ihe First legislature, in the turbulent proceedings and violent scenes of which 3 e shone forth prominently as a b'atant iimagogu and bull-doaen. The press in those days was full of Mood-curdling de- "If anyone present knows of anv just cause or iinpediraentj why these two per Eoas should not be joined' together in holy matrimony, let him nowsoeak." That is ihe challenge of the old niarriajre service It is the challenge of church and state, and rarely is an swered. But if that chal lenge were offered to Science how often would she forbid the batin, in the interest of woman's health and happiness.

Terrill's crime, for which he is now undergoing imprisonment, was the kill ing of his contestant, a man by the name of Embry. The killing occurred in front of the United States land office, and apparently was so qold-blooded that but for the activity of the officers the whilom legislator would probably have been lynched. His first trial occurred in Lin coln county on a change of venire. He was convicted and sentenced to imprison ment for life. Terrill's attorney institu ted a habeas corpus proceeding in the supreme court of Kansas, on the gorund that an order of the court's adjournment was entered in the records in the ab sence of the judge. The supreme court of Kansas upheld the Point and remanded Terrill back to Oklahoma for another trial. The case was then taken to Noble county and while lying in the Perry jail Terrill made his escape. After a few months of liberty he was recaptured and in the spring of 1S9 he was again con victed and given a twelve-years' sen tence. TO THE NEW TOWN OF BILLINGS Snccessfnl K-curioii JjjaturdayTlie Xcw Town's Sranil Prospects. Enid, O. T., Dec. 4. The excursion to the new town of Billings over the Enid and Tonkawa railway last Saturday was a success in every particular. IMr. H. C. Graves and Mr. Kirchner, accompanied by the Billings cornet band, came to Enid Friday afternoon tp advertise the excur sion. The train left Enid at 10:30 a. m., immediately after the arrival of No. 3 from the norih. About 100 people went f-om Enid and "urrounding towns. A number of others joined the excursionists at Crrpper and Garber. Arriving at Bill ings at 12:30 the excursionists were met at the depot by several hundred residents of Hillings. They formed a procession, head- i ed by the Billings band, and marched up j Main street to the main four corners of J the town, where there had been erected a i beautiful band stand. After a choice ee- I lection by the band, Mr. H. C. Graves delivered an address of welcome, after 1 which an intermission was taken for din ner. Every lady and gentleman In the fair young city seemed to be a member of the reception committee, and all vied i to see that every stranger In the city was entertained and made to feel at home. Billings is the terminus of the Enid and Tonkawa railway and is located in the famous Red Bock valley, thirty-five miles northeast of Enid, thirty miles southeast of Pond Creek, twenty-seven miles northwest of Perry and eighteen miles southwest of Tonkawa. Although but on month old, Billings has a pop ulation of from 600 to 700 peop!, and Is increasing daily. Tho own is located on as beautiful a piece of land as can be found in the west, sloping gently In all directions. The surrounding land is most, ly undulating prairie with just enough depressions to make it the most beau tiful as well as the most desirable for fa-ming purposes. The soil Is a dark brown loam. As to its fertility the abun dant crops raised bince the opening Is the most satisfactory test. The wheat through this section was very fine this year, running a Fhigh as CO bushels to the acre. Corn, oats and other cereals did equally well The surrounding country is well watered by tho Bed Rock, Black Bear and SaJt Fork and their tributaries At present the buildings are all frame, but the foundations are in and material on the ground for several brick blocks The Citbtena Bank is now building a t-no-tory brick 50x100 feet, and Messrs. Pal mer. Goldstein, Cochran and Gunn ana W. M. and F. M. Graves will each build 23xK feet Joining this Wock as soon as the brick can be burned. Billings al ready has abont residences, 5 general stores. 3 hardware, i drug, 3 doctors, 1 barns. 3 feed yards, 3 saloons. 1 grist mill in construction, 3 elevators in construc tion. 2 blacksmiths, J hotels. 4 restau rants, 3 coal dealers. 10 grain buyers, 4 lumber yards. 3 meat markets. 1 mtlli- nery, S harness and 2 barber shops.

Guthrie, O. T., Dec. 4. Great Interest la taken all over Oklahoma in the mat ter of the appraisement of Chickasaw and Choctaw lands, now, as Is well known. In progress. Copies of the Dawes commission's recent report in which the manner of putting each piece of land In one of the twenty classes, are eager ly sought. Of this part of its work the Dawes commission says, giving In the report a complete schedule of the differ ent kinds of land: The essence of the Choctaw and Chick asaw agreement is found in its first stip ulation, which reads as follows: "That all the lands within the Indian Terri tory, belonging to tha'Choctaw and Chick asaw Indians shall be allotted) to the members of the said tribes so as to give to each member of these tribes, so far as possible, a fair and equal share there of, considering the character and fertility of the soil and the location and value of the lands." When read in connection with a clause from a succeeding paragraph, in lan guage as follows: "That in order to such equal division, the lands of the Choc taw and Chickasaws shall be graded and appraised so as to give to each member, so far as possible, an equal valuo of the land," it will be seen that in grading and appraising the lands of the Choctaws and Chickasaws no arbi trary limitations are to be observed, but that the lands are to be appraised at their actual value, a proposition which none of the other tribes have thus far been willing to accede to. To commence upon this work the com mission, early in Slay, 1S99, proceeded to organize and equip field parties, and the work was entered upon the latter part of June. The organization, as effected, consists of four parties, all tinder the direction of one appraiser in chief, sub ject to the supervision of the commis sion. Each party so organized Is com posed of six appraisers, one clerk, two teamsters, and one cook. Two of these appraisers in each party are, snrveors, and act in a double capacity. Each party, while subsisting in, one camp, operates in two divisions, with three appraisers in each division, one appraiser being a sur veyor. Eight divisions are thus engaged in the field at the .same time. Each party is under an appraiser in chargp. who maintains discipline in the camp and directs details of his party. Under the terms of the agreement each nation Is to be represented in this work, and appointments to that end have been made by the respective executives of those, tribes. The classifications and rules formulated and agreed upon for this work are as follows: Department of the Interior, Commission of the Five Civilized Tribes, Muskogee, I. T., June 7, 1S99. The following schedule of classes and sub-classes of lands located within the limit of those portions of the Indian Ter ritory belonging to the Chictaw and Chickasaw tribes, and the rules for de termining the character of said lands and the fertility of the soil, in conform ity with the agreement between the United States and said Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes dated April 27, 1S97, and the laws of congress relating to the same.

Then follows the rules and schedule for the grading and appraising of the Choctaw-Chickasaw lands. The rules are: Land shall be valued in the appraise Appraiser in Chief, ment as if in its original condition, ex cluding the Improvements. Land will be graded and appraised by quarter sections, except in cases where a part of aquarter section is of a widely different class from the rest. In such cases the quarter section will be graded aud appraised in smaller parcels, but no parcel to be less than 40 acres. If timber is of commercial value the quantity will be carefully estimated, the variety stated and it will be valued sep arately, and if not generally distriouted over the tracts, its location will be given. Appra!sers will grade and appraise lan-is vlrhout regard to location or proxim ity to market. Whenever necessary the appraiser in chief. In co-operation with the represent atives appointed by the respective exec utives of the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes, will thereafter readjust and equal ize the appraisements. LTpon completion of this work the values will be adjusted toy the commission to the Five Civilized Tribes on the basis of values fixed for each class and the location of the land and its proximity to market. The schedule Is- this: Class 1 Naturally open bottom land. Class 3 (a) Cleared bottom land, (b) Best black prairie land. Class 3 Bottom land covered with tim ber and thickets. (If the timber is of commercial value, it will be appraised separately.) Class 4 (a) Best prairie land, other than black, (b) Bottom land subject to overflow. Class 5 (a) Prairie land, smooth and tillable, (b) Swamp land easily drain able. Class C (a) Rough prairie land, (b) Up land with hard timber. (If the timber Is of commercial value, It will be appraised separately.) Class 7 (a) Rocky prairie land, (b) Swamp land not easily dralnable. Class 8 (a) Alkali prairie land, (b) Hilly and rocky land, (c) Swamp land not profitably dralnable. (d) Mountain pasture land. Class 9 (a) Sandy land with pin tim ber. (If the timber is of commercial value, it will be appraised separately.) (t) Mountain land with pine timber. (If the timber is of commercial value, it will be appraised separately.) Class 10 Rough mountain land. Field and appraisal records similar to those designed for the Seminolo nation have been adopted in the Chlctaw Chickasaw appraisement. Each page of the field record has a duplicate, and when entering their notes the appraisers insert a carbon sheet, resulting in a dou ble record. Tho duplicate sheets are de tached and surrendered to the appraiser in chief, who .collates the information necessary and reports each, week's pro gress to the general office of the com mission on a blank prepared for that purpose. The original field notes are transmitted tothe general office as rap idly as the books are filled and approved by the appraiser in chief, where they are preserved in a' fireproof vault. When the lands of any quarter section cannot be properly classified tinder one head, sepa rate classifications are made of smaller subdivisions, extending to forty-acre tracts when necessary. The appraiser in chief directs the field movements of the parties, Inspects the various camps and records made, and exercises general su pervision over all matters pertaining to the work. The general plan promises to be produc tive of satisfactory results. Under favor able circumstances each division can ap praise three sections a day, or a total of twenty-four sections. At this rate it is estimated that the entire appraisement of tho Choctaw-Chickasaw lands can be completed in approximately three years with no larger force than Is now en gaged. The commission believes it de sirable, however, to increase its ap praisal parties sufficiently to conclude the work in less time, to which end an in creased appropriation is recommended for the ensuing year.

To the Editor of the Eagle We have reached Red river in our march to the south have about-faced and are now heading for South McAlester on the north line of our territory. We find bet ter land, better timber, better water and more intelligent people than In the north and center of our territory, but still nothing to brag- about yet. We are now approaching the mountain district where wild game Is abundant but extremely dangerous to hunters on account of strin gent orders ghen the United Stirbs mar shals. It is but a few days ago when 'hey captured several hunters from Kan sas and confiscated their team, arms, game and all. There has been no cold .weather yet and prognobtlcators say .there will be none this winter. We have been rein forced by a party who were doing like business In other territory but finished and were sent here. This makes five squads, or thirty appraisers. While on Red river, and near Demson we were in dread of smallpox all -the time, but fortu nately all escaped that dread disease. Tho health of our camp is good and work is progressing nicely.

YOU'LL BE MARRIED IN CUBA Before Xou Know It, If Yoa Ain't Careful, JohH Ithodes Says. Guthrie. O. T., Dec 4. John R, Rhodes of Hennessey, the Rough Ride?, who re turned to Cuba after the war, tells of surprising state affairs In that island owing to a superfluity of girls. In a let ter he writes the Hennessey Kicker, from Macagua. He says: "I don't know whether the greater part of the popula tion is born girls or whether the boys all died during the war, but at every house and in every town I find the girls outnumber the boys at least three to one. Their chances of getting husbands are so small that they jump at the first chance offered, without any questions as to a man's past. Of course, among themselves, they know all about each other but take the American In trust. The senoritas all expect to be compli mented on their good looks and if one does as they expect he is very Jikely to be asked by a friend or relative If he likes her. He can hardly say no and if he says yes it Is likely that the next question will be if he does not want to marry. I fell Into one of these traps once and got out of It by saying it would be necessary to ask my mother first. Now I avoid such remarks by say ing I like all of them. I have known several Americans to get engaged with out knowing it and it took the combined efforts of their friends with interpreters to get them out of it. If any of the young men are so hard to please as to not be satisfied with the eirls at home and have any desire of a Cuban consort come down here and I will undertake to get him engaged in three days and mar ried In a month.

T., Dec. 4. Northwestern Nor mal and the Pond Creek Athletic club strove Saturday for victory In the first football game of the season on home grounds. The contest was spirited throughout and was witnessed by over 1,300 persons. The Enyeart brothers and Evans, for Pond Creek, and the Langley brothers, Stewart and 'Nash for North western did especially fine work. Near the close of the first half, with but 45 seconds to spare, J. L. 'Langley of North western broke through the Interference and carried the ball 70 yards for a touch down. Score 11 to 0 In favor of North western. No scoring In second half. The Pond Creek club are a fine body of young men, and while somewhat disappointed in the result have no hard fee'lngs on ac count of their defeat.

NOSE HAS BLED FOR A WEEK Itcntnrknble Cno of Mr.Timmcrmon of El. Itcno Vuxt.Ic the Ioctor. Guthrie, O. T., Dec. 4 The El Reno News recounts a case which will Interest the medical fraternity of the territory. Itsays: Mr. Timmermon, an old gentle man living on Capitol Hill, began bleed ing at the nose a week ago last Sun day and continued toJbleed most of the time for more than a week. On last Sun day Mr. Timmermon was so weak from loss of blood that It was though he could not recover, but about that time the doc tor succeeded in stopping the bleeding and since then he has been growing stronger. It is a strange case. The doc tors do not account for the affliction, but some think It was caused by an acci dent which happened to Mr. Timmer man recently, when he fell, striking his head and face. It is hoped that the bleeding has been permanently checked and if so there Is no reason why the old gentleman should not fully recover.

ffl&W&dbafo gailij Eagles uz$$Lk$ gfowtmg, Secem&er 5, 1898 lai! Jagtc 31. M. 3IUKIOCKr Editor. A New Republican Apportionment. Cy. Iceland has gone to Washington to attend a meeting at the executive committee of the National Republican cen tral committee. There will be a proposition berore the com mittee to change the basis of representation in national conventions, and Iceland is an advocate of such change. Aa it 4s now, southern states which are overwhelmingly.Demo cratic and wliich never return a Republican vote to the electoral college, have as much to say as to who shall be the Republican nominee for president as states which are always true blue. The southern Republicans who control the southern delegations are thus empowered with as much say in the disposal of the party patronage as if they had leally counted. The present proposition Is to give each state delegates in convention proportioned to the number of votes they cast. The change has been impossible heretofore because of the conflicting Interests of candidates. As there will be but one name before the next national convention, the opportunity to base the conventions of the future on the Republican vote of the states respectively is just right. The proposed change will not affect Kansas, as this state would have exactly the same number of delegates as she is at present entitled to. Leland will have the support of his state in such effort. the consent of the wives themselves, but that they should take care of them and their children. Abbot declares Rob erts to be one of the most able men in all this country, elo quent and clean, and that he should have his seat in con gress. Ragged Edged Trouble Brewing. What with Chamberlain's speech, Emperor William's visit to Victoria, and the conflicting news from South Africa, things, politically, seem nearing the ragged edge in Europe. The Atlantic ocean is broad, and the Pacific very wide, and entangling alliances do not particularly threaten the dominion of Uncle Sam, whose late appointment of young Hay as consul general at Pretoria is calling forth European "comment. However, the news from Cape Colony that all of the Dutch of South Africa are joining the Boers or are threatening to do so, in disturbing England is mak ing France have a fit, while Russia is growing very restless over a proposed alliance of England and Germany, and -iith America as the new mistress of the Pacific, over the open door question, instead of partition for China. Jlean uhile the Sultan of Turkey has concluded that as for English occupation of the Nile valley, he was not the "sick tman" that he was, and he would like to take a hand in any ull around scrimmage. It is authoritatively stated, among ther interesting or exciting things, that France and Rus sia have determined that the annexation of the two Dutch republics of South Africa to Great Britain shall not be rati fied if they can prevent it. The Order of the Elks. The Order of the Elks, so-called, is a mis-nomer, or otherwise their symbol, which is the head and antlers of a wapiti, is wrong. There is an animal of the large deer species found now principally in the higher mountain ranges of the Rockies, the males of which carry large antlers, and which males are provided with two ivory whistling tu3ks each, which tusks are also an emblem of the order referred to. The elk proper carries basin-shaped palmated antlers and the nose or upper lip forms a pro boscis. The American moose is a genuine elk. The sym bols and insignia of the social order referred to are the antlers and tusks of the wapiti. Another True Kansan Gone. Judge Franklin G. Adams, whose death at Topeka oc curred on last Saturday, was the founder of the Kansas State Historical Society, in fact, although the Kansas Edi torial association was first to recommend its formation. The survival of the effort as a state institution together with all it has accomplished along practical lines, is due to the never tiring patience and faith of the man who is gone. But for him successive legislatures would have ignored his faithful work and permitted all of his valuable collections to have gone to the waste pile. He never despaired of suc leeding, never tired of his unrequited labors. He was a moble, pure man, a Kansan of Kansans. He was past 75 j ears of age, and has been quite feeble for a year or more. He was born in Jefferson county, New York, May 13, 1S24, I and at the age of 19 he moved to Ohio and taught school. He graduated from the Cincinnati law school in 1852. In 3S55 he removed to Kansas, and settled at Ashland, across the Kansas near Manhattan. He was an active Free State man An territorial days, and always prominently identified with newspapers. His life, however, became a part of the life of Kansas through his connection with the State His torical society, and the extraordinary work he did in that line. The New Speaker an American Hero. G-eneral Henderson-, who was elected presiding officer of the lower house of the United States congress yesterday .md clothed with all the powers conferred by the rules of the late czar, Tom Reed, is the second man of foreign birth to have been chosen to that exalted position, the first being Charles F. Crisp, who was born in England. David Brem ner Henderson was born in Old Deer, Scotland. But he is practically an American, being brought to this country by liis parents when he was but six years of age. He grew up on an Iowa. farm. At 21 he went to the war and lost a leg at the baitte of Corinth, which caused his retirement from the conflict. Otherwise he would now be a full general. At Fort Donaldson ho was shoVTn the neck, but refused to give up the struggle until the Union forces were -victorious, seeing which he fell down exhausted from loss of blood. On the floor of congress Henderson was noted for Ms fiery elo quence, stumping about promiscuously and not too noise lessly on hfs artificial limb. It is beHeved that he is the first one-legged man to occupy the speaker's chair. Kentucky in a Political Furore. The Kentucky election board met yesterday noon to ae ?ide by a canvass of the vote who was elected governor of that state. At this writing no word had been received of a decision. Ex-UnKed States Senator Joe Blackburn, who is chairman of the Democratic central committee, admits tlrat the Republican nominee has been elected. But that does-not settle it, for Goebel holds to the contrary, and the canvassing hoard are Goebel's friends. The people of the country at large have no doubt of the correctness of Joe ItlsckUun'? ccncJuaion, aad the majority who voted for Taylor are in no humor to ?Uad any foolishness, if Goebei I Is declared electad by the throwing out of Republican coun ties, there may be sanguinary trouble. The matter, how ever, may be all amicably settled by today. Brigham Has a Republican Champion. That Is a strong plea put up by a Republican Ohio sen ator, John Q. Abbot, for Brfgham Roberts. Abbot, who has been livin? a year in Utah as an Indian commissioner, says that he knows Roberts to be not only morally a pure man, but that as a member of the constitutional convention under which Utafc was admitted. statehood, RoWerts ad looatod the imbibition of polygamy in the future. But Roberts did not believe yw g for w0 already had more than one to atooaoon them wttaaut Weeding Out That French Army. "While General de Gallifet had no sympathy with or for the mewtyr of the Isle of the Devil, it was predicted when he was first made minister of war that he would probe the rottenness of the French army. The excitement blowiv over, he is relentlessly removing from active service high officers of the military hierarchy whose sympathies were bound up in the army as It existed under his predecessors. "While giving a number of generals promotions in the Legion of Honor, he has placed them definitely on the retired list, though they may be military inspectors or members of the supreme military council. By a second decree General de Gallifet decides that henceforth generals commanding army corps in time of peace shall command them in time of war, and shall form part of the supreme council, visiting Paris, however, only as their duties on the council may require. The object of the decrees is to exclude from the council generals who through old age are incapable of taking com mand in the field; at the same time the council will gain fresh blood and not be hampered by grayheads who have lost their usefulness; then, too, the stipulation as to resi dence removes from the intrigues and life of Paris a num- r ber of unoccupied generals who were a source of anxiety to thorough Republicans. 9 The Uitlander Hartyrs. Mr. Labouchere throws a strong, white light upon the character of the average uitlander when he describes the conduct of three hundred English miners returning to Eng land to escape the perils of the war: "What the ideas of the latter may be in regard to the mode in which order should be maintained in a civilized community may be estimated by the conduct of three hun dred of them returning home on the Pembroke Castle. The captain reports that, soon after the ship sailed, they took possession of it, when their conduct became so mutinous that on the vessel arriving at Ascension Island he had to ask the captain of an English warship to aid him by the loan of some marines. As this could not be done, the gov ernor of Ascension recommended the drastic use of fire arms if the mutinous behavior continued. "What would have been said of the Transvaal government if it had given this counsel to the police in order to suppress rowdyism of these same Britons when in the republic?" Here is a picture of bleeding martyrs, with a strong side light on Chamberlain and Rhodes. These are the tortured innocents in whose behalf Chamberlain has declared war upon the brutal Boers. It makes one sick at heart to think of the gallant and chivalrous English gentlemen and the brave and loyal English soldiers who must be sacrificed In this hideous tragedy sacrificed to the greed of a mean and sordid cabal of common pirates. It Is the Chant of the Political Boss. One of the most interesting subjects to come before con gress will be that of what to do with Cuba. There seems to be all kinds of people in that island. If we were to judge by certain newspapers of Havana, the people are now ready to be let alone. They want a government administered by Cubans. Unfortunately, however, this kind of Cuban press does not represent the people of Cuba, but the politicians. These adventurers are in the business of governing people and they want something to do. The real people, if they could -be got at, want good government, and so does our own country, were it only for its own credit. The Cubans are now getting good government, and get ting it cheap. But the Cuban politicians want a government that furnishes salaries and jobs. That is what is meant by a government of Cuba by Cubans. The Greatest American Gold Field. A yield of about $2,500,000 is reported from the Cripple Creek gold field for the month of November. That is the largest product ever credited to one month in the history of the district. Such figures show that Colorado's most boasted and famous gold region js fast taking rank among the very greatest fields. It is far from the level of the "Witwatersrand in South Africa. It does not equal the best district in "Western Australia. "With these two exceptions, It is leading the world in gold mining. Not at All. "And now she has come to live In Lon donpractically next door," said Mrs. Gorhambury. i "How very er unnelghborly," r re marked. "Richard, of course,, was njy inform ant. He said that he had run up against her in iSloane street." "Well, one does run tup against people in Sloane street." "And he actually told her that I should be delighted to come and see her." "And shall you?" "What am I to do?' sighed Mrs. Gor hambury. "One can't be rude, and I sup pose one can be on calling terfs with out being friendly.' "Life would be very monastic if one couldn't." "But that Isn't all. It was then -for the first time that he told me something about her husband being an old friend of his. For a year past aiot a mention of him and then I suddenly hear that he was an old friend. Who was he? Where did he come from?" "Sheffield, perhaps," I suggested. "What is she like?" 'Now, you know that no one is fairer than I am about people's looks. I could see absolutely nothing in her. I can. never see why men find such a charm In wid ows' weeds.' "They make up for it by abhorring widows' wines." "Eh! What? Oh, please don't. It Is a very serious thing for me," said Mrs. Gorhambury, and became very grave. "Ah, well," she continued. "How could I expect to avoid the fate of other vlves? A new -face and where are we? If I had been a selfish creature, I sup pose this wouldn't have happened. Good wives never seem to wear so well as bad tones." "Mrs. Gorhambury!" I protested. "Please don't! Don't try to furbish up a complaint I know that care and worry must tell their tale." "Then, why worry? Do you really think that Richard Is the sort of person to rush headlong to distractions like this?" "One never knows with a man. Even the stupidest of them can't be trusted," said Mrs. Gorhambury. "What makes you think that Richard isn't like the rest?" "Strong Internal evidence," I said, po litely. "Oh, no," she said. "I see it all. She will be in and out of the house all day long. It will be intolerable. I won't stand it, and I shall tell Richard that if that Mrs. Marshall "Marshall!" I interjected. "Yes; that's the woman's (name." "Marshall," I repeated, for a light had dawned on me. "You seem to know It." "Well, I "You know something I can see you do. Tell me at once tell me everything," Mrs. Gorhambury, with some eagerniss. "How did you come to know her?" "I don't know her," I said. "Dear me, how exasperating you are!" "But Bob Fraser married a Mrs. Mar shall a month or two ago, and he told me that he had taken No. 57." "Well?" "Well, Richard knows Bob Fraser well enousrh." "Why didn't he tell me? Why didn't you tell me? Then the Ihusband was an old friend after all, and of course I ought to call and "And Richard Is himself again," I ad ded. Mrs. Gorhambury flushed a little as she said. "His dear old self again. Do you know that I am afraid that I have been rather stupid about it all!" "Oh, no," I said. "Not at all." Joe Wheeler says that he thinks if it were not for the words of sympathy from the antis in America the Tagal insurrection would cease. If Bryan had remained in the army and was fighting in Luzon today he would probably say that. Bryan in seeing Monroe capture 800 Tagals with fifty men. can be consoled by the fact that 50 goes into S00 six teen times, and there i ere sixteen Tagala to one American

Jimmy Monroe, of the Fourth, who bluffed the insur gent army with fifty men at Bayonbong, has a medal com ing to him, and a smile as wide as the nation. The court will not allow Mrs. Druce to open the coffin of the Duke of Portland to prove that it contained only scrap iron. And we all wanted to know. The powers of the speaker when administered by Reed, were too sweeping. Henderson may prove milder. If he does not he will go by the board. Mr. Hepburn, in his attempt to change Reed's rules, so that the first men on his feet is entitled to the recognition of -the speaker, was right. The latest Filipino proclamation declares that in Tagal history Bryan's name will be written in letters of gol that is, silver. ii Richardson of Tennessee, the leader of the Democratic minority in the house, is an able man and will make a record.

General Otis te right the rebellion is a good vaccina. tie. The TasJs will never catch the insurgent fever again. Apparently Henna intended to retire, but on Sdtaxr dome one holding the door open, he changed his mind. O Aguinxldo may be stricken down, but if it is -srita hfe last -breath lie will stab Bryan with his friendship.

The censor at 'Capetown knows a. -heap abouc that British-Soar campaign, but no one elsfe seemingly does. a Irresponsible old Mr. Rumor has Joubert wounded or killed nearly every day.

It is a question whether Reed's rules without Bd wiU still be Reed'? rule. In London the b-'hr still btfds that the Boars Are oa the feor haln. The Iowa Saloon Area. There are 'ninety-nine counties In the state, and in forty-eight of these saloons are now in legal operation under the mulet law, and the number is being year ly added to. And it will not do to say that it is only the river counties which are anti-prohibition, for a majority of the counties now permitting liquor sales are interior counties. Nor will it do to say that It is the evil influence of cities which Is responsible for the diffusion of the retail traffic. Among the counties permitting liquor sales are such counties as Dickinson, Cedar, Emmett, Fayette, Ida, Iowa, Monona, Palo Alto, Sac. Sioux, etc.. In which the urban population Is very small. The friendly light In which the saloon is now viewed in Iowa certainly appears from these figures If one recalls the pro visions of the mulet law. That law in counties having no cities of 5,000 popula tion, and In the parts of counties outside of such cities, requires that 65 per cent of the voters at the next preceding gen eral election shall sign the petition of consent. It has often been remarked that this provision in fact demands what is equivalent to a three-fourths vote; for every voter who is dead, every voter who is away, or cannot be reached, is counted as if ho were opposed to the ipctltion. Total abstinence activitiy Is certainly at a low ebb In Iowa when In representa tive Iowa rural counties what is equiva lent to 75 per cent of the people ask that the saloon be established. Formerly Iowa was foremost In tem perance activity. Why has It changed? Why is it that the open saloon Is able to maintain Itself under a law the pro visions of which would keep the saloon out of nearly all New York? Why has Iowa today, even under a stricter law, fewer prohibition counties than either Kentucky or Georgia? The Leader has no hesitancy in saying that the chief cause Is the disastrous state-wide prohi bition experiment to which the temper ance people of the state unwisely com mitted themselves some twenty years ago, and to hich they have clung with such unwise persistence. State-wide pro hibition was a failure, an ignominious, complete failure, and In seeking to sus tain it that splendid moral suasion tem perance erusad which was such a fea ture of Iowa life twenty years ago was abandoned. It was abandoned because the temperance workers could not do two things at once, and they were so en grossed In getting the laws they thought right that they practically forgot the fellows who make the laws. With tem perance meeting's, except of the political variety, now rare.

I S7 Wtufflka H&iXtj I8flfe2 xtzs8$& IPnmg, twxbtt 5, 1899 6 ID IT II Anna Olmstead Arrives Penni less From Cincinnati WITH DEAD SISTER'S CHILD Judge Kirk Commits the Babe to Childrens Home. Penniless and with a. 6-weeks'-old tnotherless baby in her arms, Miss Anna Olmstead arrived in Wichita Saturday from Cincinnati, Ohio, in search of rela tives. The relatives had moved away and Miss Olmstead, who is only 16 years old, and her dead sister's baby were left on the charity of the city. She was di rected to the police station, where Major Burr, city sanitary commissioner, made arrangements for their boarding at the City hotel until the county commission ers could act. Testerday afternoon Miss Olmstead appeared before Judge Kirk of the city court and made a statement of her case. Judge Buckner was with her, representing the Children's Home. After listening to the young lady's pitiful story Judge Kirk committed the Infant to the Children's Home, where it will have the lender care it so much needs. Miss Olm stead left last night for Torrance, Kan., where she has a cousin with whom she will stay until able to get to nearer rela An Old Theory Food Not Digested in the Stomach. This Organ Only Prepares It For Assimilation by the Intestines. Until a few months ago the medical profession, as "well as the public at large, have always believed that food was di gested in the stomach; but thanks to sci ence, they are now enabled to follow the whole process of digestion with their own eyes from the moment food enters the mouth until It is taken into the sys tem, 'or carried off through the bowels. Heretofore all remedies for the cure of dyspepsia have been given with the idea of assistins the stomach to digest food, and the discovery that this organ does not digest it at all explains the cause of their failure to cure the disease, and its constant increase in spite of the thous and and one remedies used. Another and eaually important discovery was also made: that there are three distinct kinds of dyspepsia, two of which require different remedies, and the remedy for one must be exactly opposite to that of the other in character. For instance, acid dyspepsia requires an alkaline treat ment; indigestion an acid treatment; these combined ind given in one dose neutralize each other, consequently, can not be given together with effect. The third and mos't dangerous of all (intes tinal dyspepsia), requires a germacide which must be harmless, and yet strong enough to destroy the bacilli which cause the disease. Understanding this and knving that they possess the only ger macide which can be taken internally tives or find a way to earn a livelihood. Miss Olmstead's tender care and devo- without injury, (Hyomei) the B. T. Booth tion to the Infant child of her dead sis- company have placed on the market a dyspepsia cure, and the only one maae which treats every phase of the disease separately. That It has been a success Is shown by the fact that they guaran tee it; something never done before, and agree to return the money if a cure is not effected. ter was worthy of the high praise given her yesterday, by those familiar with the circumstances. In her statement to Judge Kirk Miss Olmstead said that she resid ed in this city a short time until last April, when she went to Cincinnati to live with her married sister, Mrs. Frank Marsh, as both her parents were dead. There was born to Mr. and Mrs. Marsh last October this baby, and five hours after Its birth the mother died. It was a fine baby boy and Miss Olmstead loved it and her sister so well that she at once resolved to stay with her brother-in-law and keep the child. A few days after Mrs. Marsh was buried, according to the girl's statement, Frank Marsh left the house and never returned. Before leav ing he gave Miss Olmstead $12 and told her that it would be sufficient for her expenses until his return. When he did not return Miss Olmstead became alarm ed and started a search for him, but no where could he be found. She then had to make arrangements to leave Cincin nati, for she had no relatives there. Bundling up the little motherless babe as best she could she left last Thursday for Wichita, intending to make her home with an uncle, Mr. John Marsh, who she said had always been good to her. She learned Sunday that her uncle and fam ily had moved to Los Angeles, Cal., and she having no other relatives except a cousin at Torrance, she was compelled to make arrangements for the baby and go to her cousin's home. Miss Olmstead lsa very handsome and apparently well educated young lady, and she illicited a great deal of sympa thy yesterday. She said she iwould write her uncle at Los Angeles, and try to make arrangements to live with him, as she felt that she ought not to be out in the world alone. KK5IARKA"BIC IVHSCUK Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111., makes the statement that she caught cold which settled on her lungs; she was treat ed for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption, and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist BUggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. She bought a bottle, and to her delight found herself benefited from first dose. She continued its use, and after taking six bottles found herself scund and well.

The dialogue Is full of sparkle; the action brisk from beginning to end, and the situations im niMiselv amusing. All of this attested by the success of the piece, when Nat oGod win made his great hit in Henry Guy Carleton's clever work. The play has (been tried and not found wanting in qualities which heartily amuse an audi ence from parquet to gallery. A thorough ly enjoyable evening is guaranteed for those who call on "The Nominee" while at the Crawford theater Saturday mat inee and night. The play will be In the hands of the popular comedian, Mr. Wal ter "Walker, assisted hy Miss Mildred St. Pierre and a company of exceptional ex cellence. 'No pains will be spared to make the piesentation of this delightful com edy one of 'the season's most artistic and best offerings. The first real and substantial success that Charles Hoyt achieved was "The Tin Soldier." The cast for that produc tion was perhaps the strongest ever or ganized for a. farce comedy. It also servefi to Introduce a number of clever people who have since- occupied the most T'ominent positions on the American stage. Among these was Miss St. George Hussey. who as "Violet" won flattering criticisms from the most conservative dramatic critics throughout the United States. Uke the balance of that mem orable, cast Miss Hussey is now a prom inent star, with a vehicle to display her peculiar abilities as well as those of her associates, which is Heralded as a huge eastern success. The Widow Wig gles (Wash iLady) Is said to be what the management claim. "A, cheerful three-act comedy." and what is stranger still, has a genuine and interesting plot that holds t-ie auditor to the finish. High class vo calists, dancers and specialty artists who are still holding aloof from the vaude vi.le circuits are numbered among the company, and with the undoubted popu larity that the star enjoys in Wichita the theater will no doubt e tested to Its capacity xxt Friday evening. Built on the lines of the comedies which ere written before the suggestive French rarces came Into vogue. "The Nominee" At the Crawford theater on Tuesday December 12, the Jefferson Comedy com pany -will appear in "Rip Van Winkle." It will introduce to the public three of the eons of Joseph Jefferson, Thomas, Jo seph, J., and William. This ought to be one of the events of the season. These young gentlemen played in the leading cities of America last season, namely: Boston, St. Louis, Pittsburg, Washing ton and Chicago, with the greatest suc cess. Thomas, who is to play his father's part of "Rip Van Winkle," is said to resemble his father in manner, looks, walk and gesture. His pathos touches the hearts of his auditors with that same feeling that characterizes the elder Jef ferson's performance. These young gen tlemen have, -with the consent of their father, started boldly for themselves, and if all reports be true, will uphold the name of Jeerson for time to come. Sale of seats will open Saturday at Howe's jewelry store. The Keokuk Gate City has this excel lent notice of the performance at Keo kuk: "M. B. Xeavitt's Spider and Fly, a gorgeous spectacular production, came to the opera house last night and plajed to an audience that nearly nnea tne lower floor, while the upper portions wero filled almost to suffocation. The equipment of the stage was handsomft and the costumes superb. The company contained a number of very clever peo ple and a chorus of pretty and shapely girls, who mide a liberal display of their nether extremeties. In the cast Clare Evans In an eccentric comedy role made a great hit. hile Mabel Le Claire and Isabelle Underwood looked and sang splendidly. Georgia Putnam who played the principal burlesque role was hand some and shapely and played the part with a bright and dashing effect. The music throughout was tuneful and good, although some of the selections havo be come almost too familiar to frequenters of the theater through numerous repeti tions of former attractions. A number of topical songs gave a spice to the tout ensemble and several local gags made the gallery howl with delight. Fred and Emm Hewitt in a globe balancing act were great. Silvia in some electric illu sions was specially well received. The piece de resistance, however, was the hand to hand and head to head balancing of the Romato brothers. Such an intrepid ami difficult exhibition of the kind has never before been seen on the board-; here and the daring balancers received thunders of applause. The transforma tion scene "was gorgeous."

Fred Marshall, son of A. W. Marshall, as a member of the Thirty-second infan try has arrived in the Philippines and has been in action. Fred, whoused to live in Wichita and has many friends here, gives a pretty description of Manila 'bay by night In a letter to his folks, which is given here: "Manila, P. I., Oct 30, 1833. "To All the Dear Ones at Home: "Have you got your ears at the long distance telephone? If you have, listen. "Arrived safe and sound, right side up with care, and In perfect health, here last night at about 11:30 p. m- Our voy age was a remarkable one in that it was without a single blow or hard sea in a voyage of about 9,000 miles. Think of it The pDoys are In the tbest of health and spirits; am so myself. Now, how are you all getting along? I expect that the first letter I get from you will tell me any way, but I must sort of ask as if I was talking to you. How's May? Want to hear from her and expect to inside of a week. Tou folks must write once a week any way and I'll send another one chas ing this one before it gets very far out at sea. That is, If I can get to mail. We haven't been ashore yet. The harbor is alive -with shipping and vessels of all nations are lying at anchor all over the bay. Especially noticeable are those grim, determined looking veterans of the fT-,-IHlo mnrnlmr nf ilav 1. 1S9S, Still wearing the leaden gray paint, while grouped all about it at different places are those great white vessels with the red, white and blue bands around their smoke stacks which tells the initiated that they axe Uncle Sam's soldier trans por "But as I write the scene is peaceful and beautiful in the extreme. It Is early evening, the busy little tugs have nearly all steamed off to anchor for the night There is not a breath to ruffle the sur face of the harbor, which reflects the out line and rigging of each great silent ves sel so faithfully tliat you can almost trace each rope, and the stars shine so bright and the harbor is all twinkling with lights from the mastheads that you forget that you are in the midst of sleep ing monsters with terrible power at their command (which, should occasion arise, could in five minutes' time change this peaceful scene Into one that would take a better pen than mine to describe), and you fall into pleasant reveries of home and friends and familiar scenes so far away. "But to disabuse your mind of the idea, that these 'dogs of war are sleeping, you have only to try to slip into the harbor at night without being seen, or do as we did last night come in from sea at night without any secrecy. You think you can steam quietly in and drop anchor and give them a surprise in the morning, ibut while you are still miles up the bay sud denly you see a long white arm shoot out across the sky, then down to the sea level, traveling with Inconceivable swift ness, seeming to feel along as if search ing for something. Then as It strikes you it suddenly stops. You are Winded 'by a perfectly white, dazzling light and you stand perfectly revealed, hull, rig ging, spars, men, everything, and you know that sharp eyes behind powerful glasses are taking in every detail which stands out so distinctly" in the night, for you are in the rays of a powerful searchlight on board one of Uncle Sam's sleeping 'watch Hogs.' "Then you realize how utterly impossi ble it was for Cervera, bottled up in San tiago harbor, to slip out unobserved to cither attack or fly from these same big fellows. "There is no dock, so we will be taken off tomorrow in lighters. Don't know how long we stay in Manila. Natives come out in their peculiar boats to sell us vegetables and fruit but I don't eat any of their fruit but those I know are all right .such as oranges and bananas and cocoanuts. Their cigars are cheap and detestable and if they don't improve I stand in a good way to quit for I don't like their native tobacco a little bit Don't cry, though; I'll get some more when I get back to the States, so don't sympathize too much. "The best news we have heard yet was that the Columbia beat the Shamrock so gloriously; the next that Jeffries whipped Sharkey, which is all old to you by this time. "I can't write -very much yet as I haven't been ashore, but will again soon. I always wanted to travel, and I am get ting a little of It now, I tell you. It seemed strange to me to see Islands away out at sea which I have studied about in my geography but never hoped to see, such as the Hawalians, Lath-ones, Wake Island, etc., which I only remembered as being away off the western Pacific and belonging to Oceanlca and Asia, We are two days and four hours from Hons: Kong, five days from Singapore, two days from SiegorC six from Old Calcutta, etc. Why, we're right in the midst of the old world's historical places.
