rf tkMn laHji Ikfllr, xx&x$ morning, trnxbtt 22. 1893 This Humble but Indispensa ble Legume DOES WELL IN OKLAHOMA Whiat Sam Atherton, "Peanut King," Says of it. Guthrie, O. T., Dea 21. One of the industries of Oklahoma -which Is yet In its infancy but -with the promise of be come a considerable factor in the -wealth and resources of the territory, is the growing of the "goober" pea, com monly known as the peanut. The adapta bility of Oklahoma's soil to the raising of peanuts was demonstrated as early as 1SS3, when an exhibit of peanuts grown in the territory took the first prize at the World's Fair. Since thatitlme there has been a gradual increase in the acreage devoted to the cultivation of the peanut and this year the estimated yield, ac oordingr to Mr. S. P. Atherton, will .be 27,500 bushels, valued at $18,750. Mr. Atherton is known as the "Peanut Kins of Oklahoma." Several years ago he was ono of the county commissioners of Logan. After serving his term of office Mr. Atherton retired to Iris farm In Payno county and as an experiment planted a fe wacres In peaniits. The re sults from this first experiment were so encouraging in a financial sense that he lias gradually extended the acreage until now a large portion of his 160 acres is devoted to peanuts. Discussing the pea nut industry recently, Mr. Atherton said: "Most of the Oklahoma peanuts are grown in the counties of Logan, Lin coln, Payne, awnee and Noble; the great est acreage being in the vicinity of Wright. Near Eden, Noble county, is a farm which has fifty acres planted to peanuts. It wa believed early in the spring that there would be 1,000 acres of peanuts to be harvested this season, but the dry weather caused much damage, both in yield and quality. The total acreage will probably amount to 750 and the acreage yield will not be less than W bushels per acre. Last-year Jeffer son Bowen, near Wright, raised 100 bush els to the acre. The growers will be able to get SO cents a bushel for their crop. The best quality of poanuts this year is worth ?L00 per bushel. "An inferior crop of peanuts might dis courage a farmer, but the peanut grow ers are not feeling bad. I can tell you why they are not. The cost of cultiva ting an acre is no greater than cultiva ting an acre of corn, with the exception that peanuts require more plowing than corn. A At t- "bushel j ield of peanuts at B0' cents per .bushel Is the same as corn at 15 cents a bushel. I mean by that comparison that climatic conditions that would produce one would produce the other. The corn in this instance would bring R30 per acre while the pea- w the fire burned better than the minutes the hayloft above was a roar ing furnace. Nothing of any consequence was saved and fifteen head of horses and mules -were burned with the barn. As there was on -wind the fire was" confined to the stable. The laundrv, owntl ry Mary Bondman, next door was saved by the efforts of the citizens. Tlies e were about 5200 insurance on the building, it Is said. If the wind had been in the east, at a moderate rate, the Hen-lrvkon hotel o Bittner BIckell -would have gone up in smoke with the county reco-is, which are keDt in an old wooden bulldi-jg near bi ll in r IIU OS How It Came to Him, and What a Place Signifies The Jloderu Jlother lias found that her Jlttlo ones are im proved more by the pleasant Syrup of Figs, when in need of the laxative effect of a gentle remedy, than by any other.

You can see at once why farmer can have a compara tively poor crop of peanuts and still do better than if he had raised a poor crop of corn. The neighbors of -farmers who ar'6 rating peanuts have been eo greatly encouraged by what they have seen dur ing the last two years that there will be not leas than two thousand acres planted to peanuts in Oklahoma next yew. "Jefferson Bowen, J. W. Durst and my self own the only peanut thresher sest of s the Mississippi river. We are so crowded with work that -we will not get through threshing earlier than March 1. We charge 10 cents a bushel for thresh ing, polishing and grading the nuts. Owing, to the prospects of a greater acre age ext year,, the farmers in the neigh borhood will buy thresher as will those in the neighborhood just east of Guthrie. "The industry has not yet grown to th Importance of making it profitable for a wholesale peanut buyer to estab lish himself in business here, and the lack of such a buyer has been an Incon venience to growers. Next year we hope to see a wholeale warehouse at uthrie. la -these "warehouses 'the nuts are re cleaned and sorted again for different marketGs. "I have experimented -with a new vari ety this year, called the early Spanish, a nut that ripens about a month earlier than the common Virginia variety. The Spanish is a small nut with only two kernels in a pod. It has a very superior quality, however, and is preferred to all others by candy manufacturers. The acre yield Is less than the common vari ety, but the market price is much greater. The nuts are not the only yield of a peanut crop. The vines are preferred by livestock to kallir corn, com fodder or alfalfa. The dry- vines are (fattening njid milch cows given access to peanut Ktraw stacks produce an abundance of rich butter. I believe that when the farmers become fcetter acquainted wlth the possibilities of the peanut they will make its cultivation one of the important industries of Oklahoma. I am from Vir ginia, the home of the peanut, and I know from experience that there Is no better soil and climate for peanuts than is found here." FOR THE RELIEF OF INDIANS .Dennis Flynn'H Bill to Permit Aliena tion of Allotment!. (Special Correspondence of the Eagle.) Washington. Dec 21. Delegate Dennis Flynn has introduced the following bill, and is enthusiastic in Its advocacy: A bill for tho relief of the Pottawatomie Indinans: Be It enacted by the senate and house of representatives of tho United States of America in congress assembled, That the proviso to the act approved August 15, 1S94, permitting the sale of allotted land3 by members of the Citizan Band of Pottawatomie Indians and of the Absen tee Shawneo Indians of Oklahoma, is hereby extended so as to permit the adult heirs of a deceased allottee to sell and convey the lands inherited from such decendant, and if there be both adult and minor heirs of such inherited lands, then such minor owners may join in a sale thereof by a guardian, duly appoint ed by the proper court, upon an order of such court made upon petition filed by such guardian, all conveyances made under this provision to be subject to the approval of the secretary of the interior; and any Citizen Pottawatomie not resid ing upon his allotment, but being an actual resident of another state or terri tory, may in like manner sell and con vey all the land allotted to him. Sec. 2. That such proviso of the act approved August 15, 1894, as herein en larged, is hereby extended to those mem bers of the ICtlzen Band of oPttawatomie Indians and the Absentee Shawnee In dians who were given allotments un'er tho act approved May 23, 1S72, and to their heirs and any purchasers of Indiin blood of lands sold under the provisions of the act last named, or their reus, who may own other allotted Ian Is tinder any act of congress, may sell all the lands so owned by thsm in excess of eighty acres, the restrictions against any salos by allottees under the act last named to others than tho United S'ales, or persons of Indian blood, being he-eby removed, and all such conveyances shad hereafter be subject to the j. oioval of the secretary ot the inti-lur Sec. 3. That the pro73oi3 heTof as tj the sale of 'nhonted land? by heirs of deceased allottees of the Citizen Band of Pottawatomie Indians and Absentee Shawnee Indians are hereby extended and made applicable to the heirs Of allot tees of the Peoria and Miami Indians, who wero authorized by the act approved June 7, 1S97, to sell a portion of their lands. Mr. Flynn was assigned .to the com mittees of public lands, Indian, affairs and territories. These are the commit tees -which tho Eagle prophesied he would 'be assigned to, and are all very impor tant It is perhaps well that he should be on especially those of public lands and territories, as tho free homes bill be con sidered by the former and the statehood bill by the latter. ON THE WAYS AND MEANS Other Kansans Well Looked After in Assignments, (Special Correspondence of the Eagle.) Washington, Dec 2L The appointment of Congressman Chester I. Long of the Seventh district of Kansas to a mem bership on the committee on ways and means is the .biggest thing that has hap pened to Kansas for twenty years. The reception of the announcement of thi3 assignment by the Kansas colony here, and the congratulations Mr. Long received from his colleagues and the con gressional habitues, is proof that the above statement is true. It was twenty years ago and more that Dudley C. Haskell, then representing me these same assignments in the last con gress. Mr. Bowersock is on coinage, weights and measures; civil service, and alcohol and the liquor traffic All are very good committets, especially the first two. Mr. Miller will succeed to the place on the committee on -which Mr. Long won his fame In the Fifty-fourth congress committee on elections No. 2; and also will be on the committee on public lands. Both aro important. Mr. Calderhead gets back the places he had In the Fifty-fourth congress com mittee on invalid pensions, and commit tee on banking and currency. Mr. Reeder is on the committee on mile age and also on irrigation and arid lands. Mr. Bailey, congressman-at-large, will be on the committee of agriculture and. claims. There seldom has been a congress when Kansas has been treated so absolutely well, and the delegation thoroughly ap preciates it. o'dQ. !3 Ssaia tho Jsgniture of 2?0 33L:s:jSl The Kwl Yoo Hare Mays Bougir OWE FARE FOR ROUND TRIP To the Olaltema iiivcstocU Associa tion Contention at HI Konu.

O T Dec 2L Mr. Emmett Craddock's little daughter, M4-,. was bit ten by a mad -flog Tuesday afternoon. 1 The dr was a Xewfoundland in wMctT f Mr t raddoek took great pride. The d g ed In coavntelcns Tuesday night Mr i t'r.c"-.k 1$ a member of c f "v latrg3st mercantile Urms hi the county, j I.htle May wa a favorite of the fam-'j anJ triced ii they he tie in, a th o tH H m- :al dr h: ng ft tre Second district of Kansas, went on. the ways and means committee. He was the first Kansan thus to be honored. He be came, in years, the ranking member of the committee. In 1S83, "Pig-Iron" Kelly of Pennsylvania wa chairman of the com-mittte.- Haskell was the ranking mem ber. President McKlnley was next to Haskell Kelly was broken down in health and in the tariff revision of that year, the work devolved upon Haskell and McKlnley. The work was such that it shattered Haskell's health and resulted In his death the next year. President McKlnley became the ranking Republican member and kept the place until 1S90, when he was chairman of the committee, and received the honor of having the bill of that year named for him. On the strength of it, ho became president. What might have happened had Haskell lived, is, of course, purely a matter of specula tion. But this one thing, besides its his torical accuracy and the fact that it was Kansas' first great honor, shows the vast importance of a place on the committee on ways and means. Mr. Long was a member of the Fifty- fourth congress, but not of the Fifty fifth. He now comes iback to the Fifty sixth, but the fact that his two terras were not consecutive makes him, to all intents and purposes, a first-termer. Members who have lapsed in consecutive servic3 are generally so regarded. Thus it ir, then, that Mr. Long is alone in the honor of being a first-termer who secures place on the committee of ways and means, -with but two single excep tions in the history of the house. These two exceptions are: William J. Bryan of Nebraska, in the Fifty-second congress, ami Walter Evans of Kentucky, In the Fifty-fourth congress. In 1S91 Mr. Springer of Illinois, late judge of the federal court in the Indian Territory, was chairman of the commit tee on ways and means, which was Dem ocratic' Bryan had been a law student in Springer's office, and the latter felt es pecially kind to the young Nebraskan. He therefore insisted on the latter being placed on the committee. In 1S95, Mr. Evans of Kentucky, who was a new member, was given a place on the com mittee, purely because he had been com missioner of internal revenue, and Mr. Dmglpy, chairman of the commlttte, wanted Mr. Evan's valuable cervices be cause of his- expet lence. Mr. Long is the It third new man to secure this great honor, Vvh'ch is a considerable distinction, cer tainly, and sufllcicnt cause for pride to the people of the Seventh district and of Kr.r.sas. Mr. Long Is the only Republican mem ber ot the commit 1 from the Missouri river to the Philippines. He thus repre sents, as far as the majority Is concerned, a very large and important territory. This is one of the big things in connection with tht place. Mr. Newlands of Nevada, silver Republican, represents the minor ity In the same territory. Among his associates on the committee are: Soreno E. Payne of New Tork, chairman and house leader; Dalzell of Ptnnsylvania, General Grosvenor of Ohio, Jonathan P. Dolliver of Iowa, Albert J. Hopkins of Illinois, who was a formidable candidate for speaker; Steele of Iniana, McCali of Massachusetts, Tawney of Min nesota, Russell of Connecticut and, on the minority, Richardson of Tennessee, house minority leadtr; iNewIands of Ne vada, McClellan of New Tork, Samuel M. Robertson of Louisiana, Swanson of Vir ginia and CoeDer of Texas. An interesting thing about this com mittee is the inseparable chain formed by the states rcpresenttd on the majority side. Beginning with Massachusetts, there next comes Connecticut, then New York, then Pennsylvania, then Ohio, then Indiana, then Illinois, then Minnesota, then Iowa and then Kansas. These states form an almost unbroken line from start to end, and show the vo?t country represented on the committee. Mr. Long wlna tht place because of sev eral reasons, as: First, his service on the committee o elections in the Fifty-fourth congress brought him to the notice of the house leaders, among whom was the present speaker, General Henderson; sec ond, Mr. Long's participation In the Rob erts cas a few weeks ago, and his as sistance to Mr. Tayler and the others, with the knowledge he displayed In con nection with the case, brought him "still further into notice and distinction here; third, the Kansas, delegation united hi asking tht place for the congressman from the Seventh district; fourth, aad by no means leWt. the leading public men of Kansas, men who are known in na tional politics editors, politicians, and others. Including a number who knew General Henderson for years, asked this favor at the Ionian's hands. All these lour reasons counted powerfully in the accomplished end, and Kansas obtains a distinction which s?n places her in the rank of states which are well thought of.

The guns were booming around Lady smith when ours broke the silence around Colenso by shelling the foothills north of the Tugela river, and Fort Wiley, which stands upon a ridge near the bridge. With skill and labor the Boers had built walls and forts and had dug successuve trenches, commanding every line of ap proach from Estcourt to Colenso. The country Is bsre and generally undulating, similar, indeed, to our downs. Our troops therefore, had to advance to the Tugela "without any cover. "The battle commenced before 6 o'clock in the morning, but the Boers made no reply to the heavy cannonade iwhich our iblue jackets directed upon them. Few of the enemy were visible. They lay hid den behind their hill works, but on our infantry and batteries and cavalry near ing Colenso a sharp musketry fire was opened on them by the Boers from the houses on the river bank, behind which many of the enemy had been concealed for hours. It was twenty minutes after six when the Boer batteries opened fire on our field artillery, cavalry and infan try east of the railway. Their cannon Included a Crousot 50-poundcr, Krupps and a Hotchkiss, the latter a machine gun, which, which, while being discharg ed, gives forth a villainous and unnerv ing rat-taf-ta, "a sort of a voluminous postman's 'knock. The enemy's shells were soon splashing in all directions, but our indomitable infantry, in tho face of the fusilade, which really was one con tinuous roar of shot and shell, fought gallantly on and gained Colenso. "Colonel Long rushed in the batteries in order to egt close range, when suddenly the Boers sprang up and opened a de structive fire with Mausers at a range of only GOO yards. Gunners and horses were rapidly shot down. With -the utmost pluck our private soldiers took teams to recover the cannon, but the animals were killed and ten field pieces were not re covered, despite tho heroic efforts of our fellows to get them back. It was here that Lieutenant Roberts was hit. Gener al Barton sent in some companies of Scots and Irish to assist. "Meanwhile General Hart's brigade, shelled by the enemy and pelted from the hilltops with Mauser bullets and from the trenches by the river bank, met with an equally terrible opposition. But despite the great losses which were sustained the boys of the Irish brigade grandly won their way across the river, though a few men were drowned in the passage. But they found the position untenable and were ordered to retire. At noon our troops withdrew to their former camp, the Boers evincing no disposition to fol low us up.
