AGK HOME AGAIN BUT MOT AS GOVERNOR Hon, WjNiam Jenkins Is Re ceived bv Few Friends, WILL EXPLAIN TO PUBLIC Changes in Official Circles are Being Discussed, Guthrie, O. T., Dec. 3. William Jenkins arrived in the city last night fiom the north, returning from his trip to Wash ington. A. party of Intimate friends met JL Jenkins at the Santa Fe station arid accompanied him to his home on North Broad street where he was met oy nls family. About his trip to Washington, Mr. Jen kins talked freeiy, but grave no indica tion as to his feelings in regard to his treatment by the president and other of f.cials in Washington. Tomorrow a state ment will be made to the public by Mr. Jenkins explaining- the conference which took place between the officials and him self. Friends who have taiked with him state that he expresses tht opinion that he had been prejudged in th3 matter and felt tfcat In time to come the public of Oklahoma would understand that bis po sition was right and that only the Lest motives had prevailed in hid action while governor r.f Oklahoma. It has ben the concensus of opinion among all classes of people that the presi dent tnd Sprretary Hitchcock" were too m vere in Mr. Jenkins' case and tnat their rction. riot only injur, d hkn, but orings re fleet', oris upon Oklahoma as well. This f teiing hrs not been confined alone to the lrieids -f Mr. Jenkins, but many people i of Li? political party have expressed 5-iirh opinions. It Is very probable that there will be no Inaugural ceremonies when Governor Fer- json takes the oath of office and as-t-nines his duties ae governor of Oklaho ma. Tt Is believed that he will simply take thr- oath of office and beg'n work at tinea. Just how soon the new governor will rpt-irn from Washington is not knowr. but it will probably be several tiays f-t. "haigvs in officials are bdag freely pre dicted amng local politicians.

A Dear Sirs: On Monday of this week 1 was in the thickest of one of my awful catarrhal colds, the kind that makes life not worth living. I began using Hyomei, and its effects were wonderful. I was greatly relieved in a few hours, and today am as sound as a dollar, without one bad effect remaining. Very truly yours, C. B. MORGAN.

PEOPLE DEMAND EXPLANATION Blackwell Citizens Are Growing Im patient Over Work in Oil District. Blackwell, O. T., Dec, 3. The new gas well is at a standstill, has been since Friday and will be for several days. The present depth is less than 250 feet, and in Councilman "Wlnfield's opinion, the bot tom will not be reached for six months, says the News. The difficulty now is caving, just as it was with the old well. The contractors professed to be prepared for any similar difficulty that might arise when they started the new well. However, they are experiencing identical trouble and have labored since Friday trying to re move the old casing and put in new. But it can't be done without the aid of a casing spear and such has been ordered. The public is growing decidedly impa tient with this delay and is praying for a little light on the matter, if speedier progress cannot be made. 1 ine T 1 j.ounc t- t.m fKI I i ure O .jL SB S? Q S?.

It will be several days yet before any action will be taken io the Southwestern Normal case. Attorney General Strang is now in Washington and will not return for a few days. Judge Georgo S. Green has just got back from Kansas and will take up his private work first before preparing the case. The attorneys, Judge Strang representing the board of education, and Judge Green for Granite, will go beforo Judge Burwell and argue the merits of the case. Until the injunction is dis solved, the board of education can do nothing toward erecting the building at Granite. There has been some speculation as to what Governor Ferguson will do in the normal matter but since the case is in the courts, it is likely that he will let it be settled there.

Parties repre senting themselves to be agents for a colony of Germans, farmers all of them, who want to come to Oklahoma, have been In Greer county some time, and have secured options on from 40,000 to 59,000 acres of land In the southeastern part of the county, says tho Sun-llonitor. The promoters of the enterprise claim that the colony will be composed of 1,000 Germans and their families, and that it is the plan to locate each family on a 40-acre tract of land. Tho land has been secured In one body, and lies south of the town of Navajoe. It will be a. valuable addition to Greer county's wealth, to have so many sturdy Germans come In at once and settle so thickly. They will make the grand soil off Greer blossom and bear fruit as 16 never yet" has done. It will also jump the population of the county up several thousand. All of the land secured by the agents has been taken up by homestead ers during the past ten years, and many of the homesteads have not yet been proved up on. The options run until next spring, when the deals are to be closed and the Germans are to come so say the men who are securing the options.: but there arc persons who are inclined to the belief that-tlus German colony story Is all a myth that the options are being sc cured by representatives of a syndicate who expect the railroad building which is to be done in that part of the country next year to greatly enhance the price of the land, making their investment very profitable. Wo hope, however, that this rumor is false, and that the Germans are coming, and that they will flourish and prosper and build up a great colony in Greer county. They are good citizens, thrifty and industrious. The option, method of doing business causes the farmer to lose control of his farm, and have no share in the advanco in price of land, and may also cause him to lose' his crop, as the deal may be closed too late for him to secure another farm. On the other hand, if the land should, by any means, depreciate in value, the parties holding the option could leave the land In tho possession of the owners and be out the amount paid for the option.

MERRICK AFTER PLACE Judge Who Charged Jenkins Wants Seat on Supreme Bench. Guthrie, O. T., Dec. 3. Judge J. J. Mer rick of Lincoln county, who llled the charges against Wm. M. Jenkins is a can didate for a seat on the supreme bench. Judge Merrick is now In Washington and is pushing his claims for the place. His friends here state that he has a long list of indorsements.. Harry Gilstrap in his Chandler News says the following about Judge Merrick: It is amusing to note the different tone In which many papers refer to J. J. Merrick "as they become con vinced that his charges against Governor Jenkins prevailed. It is 'Judge Mer rick' now, instead of 'Old Merrick, the run-down politician.'

TOO MUCH BARNES Chandler Xcwn Objects to Wasting: Effort in Sending Sinslo State hood Delegation to Wafthitistou. Guthrie. O. T., Dec. 3. Harry Gilstrap, of the Chandler News, who is for single statehood, is against the proposition of ralsiug money to send a delegation from Oklahoma to Washington to lobby for the passage of a single statehood bill. In Ids paper, under the caption of mis directed energies, he says: We do not wish to criticise the methods of work pursued by the single statehood executive commUtee, for the gentlemen comprising that committee are doubtless sincere in their efforts to secure immedi ate legislation looking toward single statehood, but from our point of Yiew they could spend their energies '.o much better effect than in. the raising of money to send the Oklahoma members of the single statehood lobby to Washington. It Is unfortunate, but it is true, thnt the personnel of this Oklahoma delegation is such as to lend a color of truth to the assertion frequently made by some of the separate statehood advocates that the single statehood movement is simplv a Democratic scheme to promote factional differences in the Republican party. Of the three Oklahomans selected at Mus kogee recently .to go to Washington in the interest of single statehood, two are Democrats and the, third a Republican whose bitter antagonism to Delegate Flynn is as well known in Washington as in Oklahoma. It' will be hard to arouse enough enthusiasm among Flynn's friends notwithstanding the fact that a majority of them probably favor single statehood to get them to give up any of their money for the purpose of send ing Mr. Barnes to Washington to light Mr. Flynn. That Barnes would use what ever prestige his position on this delega tion might give him to embarrass the man he rewards ah his enemy can hardly be doubted by those who know what a game tighter the ex-governor is. and who realize how hard he and his lieutenants worked to have him placed on this dele gation. This paper if sinore in its sup port of single statehood, and that is why we regret to see anything done that will tend to Inject partisan politics or fac tional differences into the settlement of so important a matter. The internal warfare that lias been raging in Okla homa in the past has done Its part al ready toward creating an unfavorable im pression at the national capital, and its continuance will not materially hasten statehood. We are Inclined to believe tliat the Indian territory people have shown better judgment in the selection of their delegates than have the Oklahomans who attended the Muskogee convention, and we believe that the Indian territory del egates will go to Washington and labor faithfully and effectively for statehood, and that they will deport themselves as gentlemen while they are about it. But we started out to say that it seemed to us unwise for the committee to concen trate all Its energies on the sendins of lobbyists to Washtnirton when a letter writing campaign, such as was purstu-d in connection with the free homes move ment, might do so much good. Washing ton has heard from the politicians of Ok lahoma very often. Perhaps it wou'd rather hear from the people. OKLAHOMA UP IN FRONT IN COTTON OUTPUT Territory Produces 1 96 Pounds Lint Cotton Per Acre. WORLD'S AVERAGE IS 169 Agricultural Department's Estimate of the Prodnci. Washington, Dec 3. The statistician of the department at agriculture reports 9,574,000 bales as the probable cotton pro duction of the United States In 1901-19L The area picked or to he picked is esti mated at 28,Sfl8,z39 acres, a reduction of 730,216 or 2.6 per cent from the acreage planted. The total world's production of lint cot ton is estimated at 4,SO,851,003 pounds, an average of 159 pounds per acre picked or to be picked. The estimated production by states. In pounds of lint cotton per acre is as fol lows: Virginia ITS North Carolina 142 South Carolina 141 Georgia 1ST Florida 117 Alabama 155 Mississippi ...24S Louisiana tot Texas W Arkansas 1?S Tennessee 136 Missouri 1S6 Oklahoma .136 Indian Territory 214 In addition to the department's or dinary crop reporting agencies, 16,800 gin ners and 5.000 bankers and merchants have furnished valuable information con cerning acreage and production. The ginners have also reported the amount of cotton ginned betweon August 16 and No vember 20, this year and last year, with the average gross wolght por bale and the average weight of bagging and ties. This lias enabled the statistician to as certain the average net weisht of bale: for each separate state and for the en tire cotton belt, and these weights have been used in determining the total num ber of bales produced. Tho average net weight for the entire cotton belt is 4SG.2 pounds, which Is believed to bo the low est average in at least ten years. The large number of light bales being1 mar keted and also some reduction in the proportion of lint to seed cetten are ubjects of frequent comment by cor respondents of all classas.

ALL FOOLED AGAIN COUNTY SEAT FIGHT Uaymnn Wants to be whole Cheese Instead of Weaver. Guthrie, O. T., Dec. 3. Boavct county is likely to have a oounty seat fight in the near future. Beaver is the present county seat. Guymon which is now on a railroad wants the county seat and la making offers to get It. In the last Issue of the Guyraan Herald the following ar ticle appeared: "The removal of the county seat to the center of the county is the only practical solution of the problem of keeping Beaver county undivided and in one body. Every taxpayer is concerned and no one should remain Indifferent to a movement the correct solution of which Is of vital im portance to every taxpayer. This town will give the county $1,509 and donate a site for the court house and an agreement to that effect has been signed by E.9T. Guymon, J. E- George. R. B. Qufcut. C. Summers, and G. C. Browa, Directors of the Guymon town company. To this agreement. M. E. HIbbs. sheriff; 1L E. O. Putnam, county treasurer and Charles R. Wright, county attorney, has stflxed their names, attesting that they know the con tract will be faithfully and spednctally performed in the event of th removal of the county seat to Guymon. The peo ple west have remained passive since 13 with the county seat at Beaver, bat the advent of the railroad changed matters, and the wisdom of locating the county on the railroad Is apparent not only to people contiguous to the road, but to all fairminded citizens throughout the coon- j tr.

M ISIxjcMia Jpxtij uUi lH.cilitcscTaii lEtfntmrj, cctulrtr 4. 1901, M. M. M'JRDOCK. Editor. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S FIRST MESSAGE. Despite its great length, President Roosevelt's mes sage will have a wide reading. If not as exciting as a romance, or as a cougar. hunt, it is intense history of the liveliest character, impregnated by the conclusions and convictions of an intense American, upon whom, has fallen and all so unexpectedly, the gravest and greatest of re sponsibilities, responsibilities which he has resolved to be equal to, even to the commendation of his fellow-cit izens, to seventy-six millions of them, not counting those of recent insular annexations, and without regard to party predilections. President Roosevelt, having briefly recited the details of the awful tragedy of the Pan-American Exposition, opens his message with the declaration that the victim of that tragedy was the most widely loved man in all the United States, following which is a beautiful and truthful tribute to the lamented McKinleyy a tribute which will be read with interest by patriots everywhere. Before quitting the question of the president's assassination, his successor de clares that the anarchist is a criminal who must be sum marily dealt with, as such, by law, a criminal whom no form of government could prove acceptable, and who if not suppressed will annihilate all government. He, there fore, urges congressional action. The next problem taken up in the message Is one which has been concerning every observant business man. Every body is desirous for a continuance of the present prosper ous conditions. The president warns the people against the possible calamitous consequences of speculative folly. Giving due credit to the financial captains who have headed great enterprises, he couples such credit with, a warning and the recommedatiqn that legal restraints be thrown around the trust evil, which restraints should be made effective through governmental supervision, in which con nection he advises an additional cabinet officer to be known an the secretary of commerce and industries. In fact, running all through the questions of business, of industries, of trusts, of immigration and of the Chinese question, the. president makes the interest of the farmer and of the laborer prominent, if not paramount. The message declares against any general change in the tariff laws, holding that reciprocity must be treated as the hand-maiden of protection, both being Republican pol icies and principles. The west, or in fact all the interior portions of the country, will be glad to note that President Roosevelt is -which have the most satisfactory banking systems have MORE CURRENCY TINKERING. It looks as if the country would never cease tinkerin with the money question. It is always the old song and dance of a non-elastic currency, mixed with greenbacks and an unredeemable shiri-plaster, on a silver basis or by gold standard. It has come to be believed that the monied interests and itB henchmen in and out ofj congress is more responsible for this periodical tinkering than are the peo ple. Now comes Mr. Ridgely, the comptroller of the cur rency, in his annual report, calling attention to the disad vantages and derangements its operations cause in our financial matters. He says: "There could be 110 better illustration of this than its operations in the last few months. The result has been to needlessly lock up and take out of circulation vast sums of money just at a time when it was badly needed for mov ing crops and transacting the regular business of the country. The relief afforded by the purchase of bonds by the secretary of the treasury only partially and temporar ily meets the difficulty .and repairs the damage dona The mistake of maintaining this system after the business of the government and the country has long outgrown it should be corrected and the business community be given relief from its operation in taking money out of circulation when most needed. If the secretary of the treasury is given authority so that he can arrange and have more of the money collected deposited with the national banks and kept there until needed, it can be done under such regula tions, restrictions and supervision as to insure the govern ment against loss and give relief from the present system." Referring to the criticism which has been made of the act of March 14, 1900, to the effect that it does not prop erly safeguard the gold standard, but leaves it possible for the secretary of the treasury to practically undo the effect of the act by departmental action and regulation without further legislation, the comptroller says: "If the act can be made stronger by amendments and the gold standard of value rendered more secure from any future uncertainty, it should be done without any delay, while the question is still uppermost, and before it gets shoved to one side by the great number of new questions being urged as subjects for congress. "Since the passage of the act of March 14, 1900, the total amount of circulation outstanding has been increased from $254,02G,230 to $359,832,715, an increase of $105,S06,230 or over 41 per cent "The provisions of the act have also added somewhat to the elasticity of the national bank currency. It, how ever, leaves much to be desired in the way of elasticity, the lack of which is the greatest fault of our national bank issues. "Congress has already had under discussion and consid eration various measures for the modification of the na tional bank currency. There is much discussion of the subject by bankers and financiers, and many plans are urged for adoption. Somewhere between the views of the ardent advocates of asset currency and those who oppose it with vehemence as unsafe and unsound in every re spect, there should be found safe middle ground. Most of the more enlightened countries of the world and those STORY OF WORTHLESS FELLOW. aware of the Inefficiency or lameness of the interstate commerce law for the regulation of equtable rates and the lack of power in the commissioners under that law to crush out discriminations. The railroad, in being a public servant, should be compelled to serve all on like terms, other things being equal. He stands for the up-building of a merchant marine, for the construction of the Isthmian canal, for the maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine, and for all the measures advocated by the Republican party, and with the like spirit and earnestness of McKinley. As for the Philippines, he says we must hold these very rich tropical islands of both a legal and moral necessity, as a duty to humanity, to the islanders and to ourselves. The president stands firmly by the civil service law, convinced that in the merit system alone is efficiency in public service possible. There must not be, he urges, any partisanship in the governing and control of the Philip pines, or other colonies. As for the Indian, so long a domestic and expensive ward of the nation, the president holds that the time has finally arrived when Mr. Lo must be recognized as an individual and made to take the part of a citizen to the manner born. Tribal relations, and reservation holdings In common, are no longer feasible. The Indian must line up to the front or fall back to the tear, on his own responsibility, and not expect to dawdle his life away waiting for tho payment of his next annuity. Commending the St. Louis Exposition in commemora tion of tho greatest single expansion of the country, with a good word for the results of the Pan-American and a sympathetic allusion to the death of Queen Victoria, the message closes. some kind of asset banking currency. "We should be able to incorporate some features of this kind with our national bank currency in such a way as to in no way impair its safety but add to its efficiency and usefulness in other respects. Under proper laws an asset currency can be used to sup ply an emergency circulation, for which there is a pressing need not now supplied by our national banks, and as our people become more used to it and see its good points the use may be extended. Progress in this direction should be and will have to be slow. The absolute security of our national bank notes and the fact that no one ever looks at a note to see by what bank it is issued, has popularized them with our people, and there will always be a strong sentiment in favor of letting well enough alone when it comes to changing our bank notes. "This question is, however, becoming pressing and im mediate. In the near future it will have to be determined by congress what shall be done with the national banks and their circulating notes, and what changes are to be made in the various kinds of paper money now in circulation." If there are any sufficient reason why a married man should so into the army. Louis Tappan had them. His five years of married life had been a cumulative failure and lie know it. "What was more important, however, his young -wife knew and charged the whole score of their mu tual disappointment to him. Their one childv now a teething baby, had not heal ed their chafed spirits nor brought to gether their wandering hearts. Mrs. Tappan was a good little woman, so good that she neither sympathized with nor understood Louis' puerile ways, his pas sions for excitement, his slavery to habits that were neither necessary to her happi ness nor warranted by his slender means, even In the days when he earned a good salary as bookkeeper for the Buena Vista J3ank. Her father owned the little town where they lived, but he was one of those stern men, who having made their own way in the world, would discourage and resent the idea that they should give aid to oth ers In the fight for Independence or wealth. When Louis married Lucy Hard ing he admitted himself that the old bank president was "a grouch." but in those days his self confidence was not shaken by the prospect of working out a way for himself and Lucy. For a year he carried out his good resolutions, and even won a measure of Mr. Harding's crabbed re gard. During that year the young peo ple were fairly happy. The entering wedge of misery came when it dawned on Lucy that Louis didn't have any reli gion and couldn't "get" any. Vfter that his descent was rapid. They drifted further and further apart. The boy, ho was only 23, lost his grip on good resolves and slid along the smooth and winsome current of his old, free habits. The row with Harding didn t come till the second year, but after that Louis place in his father-in-law's bank became precarious. Tho old man warned, threat ened and even persecuted him in the mis taken belief that he could scare the young husband back into the narrow path. But Louis didn't scare worth a cent. Long before the baby came he was in debt neck and crop. His wife was getting morose and quarrelsome, and his credi tors were beginning to talk about "going to tho old man. And Louis was In bad way even before the grocer. who was a deacon in Harding's church, made what Loui3 called a "holler" about his bill. That settled the young man with Papa Harding. A month's notice, a threat of starvation and a mumbled imprecation were what the bookkeeper got with his next pay envelope. After he was out of his position he made a few feeble ef forts to find work; he made a trip to Chicago and in a weak way determined to take his wife and make a home for him self elsewhere. But somehow the world seemed to have suddenly grown very narrow and selfish. His comrades of dis sipated days and nights couldn't help him further than o 4'hope the old man will come round all right" and buy another drink! Harding didn't come round. He Ignored his son-in-law when they met on the street, and only when the child was born did he insist on taking charge of Lucy. After she was taken to the Hard ing home Louis' heart began to fall him. He discovered that ho was fond and apt t6 grow fonder of the child a boy. Brok en In spirit and pocket, he swore he'd mend his ways and find work. But there was none. He went to Chicago, met an old companion, forgot his troubles for a night and a day and came to bis dreary senses in the blue, ill fitting uniform of a "rookie." WHERIN GREAT DOCTORS DISAGREE. due .rgaie, a ieaamg ivansas uemocratic light, in sists that the tariff will be the issue in the next national campaign, but Bryan says it will be anti-insular annexation. Well, the Republican party is ready for either of these issues, or both, but it hopes that the Democratic doctors may get together. The Republican party will stand upon what they have done in both of these directions. Bryan urges the Democrats in congress not to forget the Philip pine question, which he declares to be the greatest issue before the people. He calls attention to the fact that the Kansas City platform demanded consideration of it, and he quotes the plan as outlined, as follows: "An Immediate declaration of the nation's purpose to give the Filipinos, first, a stable government; second, in dependence; and, third, protection from outside Interfer ence, much as has been given for nearly a quarter of a century to the republics of Central and South America. "In view of the fact that over a year has passed without the settlement of strife in the islands promised by the Republicans, and without a definite Philippine policy being announced by the administration, it is very evident that the Philippine question is still an issue." Colonel William Jennings Bryan should give President Roosevelt's Republican message on the Philippine situation his prayerful attention.

King Edward ordered Sousa to play the "Star-Spangled Banner" twice. Perhaps Edward had forgotten that those bombs which were bursting in the air were touched off by British. SENATOR BURTON AND HIS APPOINTEES. Senator Burton of Kansas is borrowing his troubles along with his triumphs. The news from Washington that following tho turning down of his candidate for United States attorney for the district of Kansas, the president has assured him that Jim Simpson's name will be sent to the senate as revenue collector for this state. In connection with this news comes word that Secretary Hitchcock of the interior refuses to O. K. Z. T. Burton of Montana, Sen ator Eurton's brother, for the attorney ship of the Chick asaws, and Secretary Hitchcock has the last say in mat ters pertaining to all Indian interests. The place has been held, till within a short time, by Senator Burton him self, the salary of the position being five thousand dollars per annum. Senator Barton, while discussing the political situation with the president tho other day, was Informed that the chief executive's ideas of political reward do not coincide with those of the United States senator from Kan sas, thereupon quite a lively discussion ensued. Burton, It is paid, holding his own In a very creditable degree. Th? Lawrence Journal, in commenting on the Kansas situation, says: "Thre is much uneasiness in high political circles of Kansas, and the 'boys' are on nettles. The cause !s the inaction of the president. Several valliant patriots were 1 illed to hojrfn drawing their salaries some time ago, but tiio c irmiissions do not come, and so the salaries are still J drawn i y the other fellows.

Has So a. with a single blast on his tuba, blown th--Angio-Suxcn ie together? He had a vague idea that he would "win his way 'as a soldier in the war which had just begun; visions of coming home a stern and famous officer captain at least crowded his boyish mind, and with his hopes there mingled, stinging' sweet", the sense that at last he might have brought home to Lucy and her people a realiza tion of the fact that he was not all bad. A scribbled note on a postal card telling Lucy that he was "gone into the army" was all they heard about him at Buena Vista for three years after that. The Hardings read all the war news with eager curiosity at first, hoping to get some news of Louis, but their Interest waned again and again, to be faintly re newed with the actual beginning of the fight. But there was not a word about Louis, not even his name among the wounded, sick or dead, much less notice of his gallantry or promotion. Not till me Cuban and earlier Philippine cam paigns had dwindled down into Intermit tent skirmishes in far parts of the islands did there come a hint that he was yet on earth. Then just a line in the list of "dead from disease." "Tappan, private company K, Twenty third infantry; dysentery." And there ended the career of Louis Tappan .the worthless young man of Buena Vista. The station agent at Culver, ten miles below Buena Vista on the Louisvilio and Nashville, saw the last train "hesitate" at his door, and was getting out his key to lock up when a well dressed swarthy young man with a small bag dropped off the rear coach and approached him: "This is Culver, isn't it?" "Tes, sir." "Do you know where Mrs. Tappan, Jlrs. Louis Tappan lives?" "Don't live here, leastways not in town. I know 'em .all. No Tappans and noth ing like that name round here. I'm pret ty sure." "Moved here from Buena Vista," sug gested the stranger wistfully, "moved up about a year ago." "Oh, bom on. Tappan oh, her namo ain't Tappln no more. She's married to Bill Chesebrough.

The Guthrie Leader will help Ferguson greatly if It keeps up its line of ridicule. It will be a wonder if there Is nota complete change In insane asylum mat ters. The Republican club at Hobart at the last moment met and indorsed Governor Jenkins. Ferguson has a good deal of the Roose velt in him. He is just as Impulsive as the president. Joe McXeal, it Is reported, is a candi date for territorial treasurer under Gov ernor Ferguson. Roosevelt forfeited tho friendship of Leslie Niblack forever when he appoint ed ,Tom Ferguson. Dennis Flynn got a bill for statehood in the first day of the session. He be lieves he will be able to pass it. The historical society should dig up that well Tom Ferguson constructed over in the southeast and preserve it. Governor Ferguson will return to Okla homa early next week. The foreman will get out the Watonga Republican. The Enid Wave is another Democratic paper that can't bear Tom Ferguson. It says ho isn't fit to be sexton of a negro cemetery. New Mexico and Arizona are also knocking for statehood this session, but their muscles are weak and they need a door bell. By the way those public monies in the new country when they are doled out by congress will have to ho handled vt-rj'i vary carefully. John R. Lane, editor of the Mountain View Progress, a vigorous writer and of prominence In tho affairs of southwest Oklahoma, died last week. Fred Wenner will quit being private secretary, 'ine situation has been too strenuous for him. As private secretary he has been a crackerjack. A report has it that seventeen miles southwest of Pond Creek a seven foot vein of sheet copper has been discovered at a depth of thirty-five feet. Judge Merrick, who filed the charges, went down to Washington to take a hand in recommending a new governor, but he arrived a few hours too late. The single statehood advocates are now asking contributions of 50 cents and up ward from anybody who wants to pay for the lobby in Washington this winter. Bob Neff is having an artistf- fit over the appointment of Tom Ferguson, be cause, he says, Ferguson picks his teeth with a fork and favors mixed schools. Hundreds of citizens of Oklahoma have sympathy for Governor Jenkins. The dismissal was abrupt, but the summary exclusion from his office was shocking. Representative Knox of Massachu setts is chairman of the committee on ter- j ritories before which is the statehood bill which contains Oklahoma's knocks on the door of the capitol. There is just one way for a public of ficial when a schemer approaches him with a dirty job. It will not do to protest or merely to refuse; or to laugh It off. The thing for the public official to do is to arise to his feet and plug his caller in the eye; call the police, cause a row and wide publication of the incident. Stroud Messenger: Last Saturday af ternoon whiie Mr. and Mrs. John Newman were in town their two little gWs saw a huge panther pass through the yard.

Cohn called the Tvh'jleJrale merchants and manufacturers to ordT in the Commercial Club rooms last night Xhe appearance of things was not 'ry Inspiring or encouraging. There wbs not a head of a single -wholesale or nwnufactming fire?. )ro.s-nt except Peter (Jet to, of tfce Botilinp Works, and Sen ator James W. Tapp. Mr. Charles LBwrenci came in JatT. Vhe meeting was called to take action with reference to the proposed visit of wholt falprs arnd manufacturers to their cuFtomers of southwestern Kansas and Oklahoma. Sir. Cohn, upon taking the chair, ex pr sski surprlso and disapointment at the 1;uk of interest taken. He suggested thst if the gentlemen most interested in th enterprise aro not willing to attend th- meetings, the matter should be given np entirely. Mr. Xaftzger desirrd to know how much the excursion would cost. air. Cohn thought it would cost not less than 54.000 He then drew from his pocket a bundle of manuscript and un rolling it. said- "Those are proposed rout's sent me by wholesale merchants an'1 manufacturers. They express ad-vcr--" opinions and some of them differ materially." li was suggested by Mr. Taylor that a ommittee be appoint! on "rmite." S rotary Man. of tho traffic bureau, obj ttd to this, saying ihat a committee on route" had iu-cn working for three woks and he did net sec what object th r' could b in going all over it again Mr. Cohn said: "The merchants and manufacturers cculd decide upon that to night, but they are not here. It seems to me that if they were interested In the proposition they woiili come here." "The main thirwr,'" concluded Mr. Cohn, "iF to raise the money." Somebody said that he thought 100 men "would go at S40 a h. Mr. Conn suggested that the expense co.'ld not be figured that way; that the mn:,ey should be raised by a graduated as.rssment. Mr. Naftzgar said: "1 den't think 100 will go. My idea would be to appoint a committee to see these people if they don t come here and if they are inter-cs-i'd in the proposition thy will go." Mr. Cohn: "That's what I want to see, to: I would iike to know if they are int" rest i'd.' Mr N'Pftzger: "It seems not, r they w .'il'i b here." he meeting was not very encouraging nr.til Senator Jim Tapp spoke He en irened matters ai.d injected needed en tlrjsinsm into the deliberations. He said In -nas but a small manufacturer, but he was ready to spend money to make tl.r iit to Oklahoma a success. The time is short and we ought to get to work. motion to appoint a committee of eltiit to investigate the subject further and repoit, was passed unanimously and Mr. Cohn announced that he would ap point the committee today. It was suggested that a stenographer Ik- hirM to take down the opinions and srggestions of tbe wholesalers and man ufacturers and it' th"y did not show In terest, the whole matter would be drop ped Tiny must fhow interest," said Mr. 0hn.

Miss Kathryno Hill, of the West Side, has received a letter from her cousin, Mr. Will Howey. who is in company H, of the United States regular army, stationed at Cebu, Cebu Island, Philippine Islands. The letter is a very Interesting one and Mi.ss Hill has kindly allowed the Eagle to copy a part of it for its readers. The let ter was mailed from Cebu on the 4th of October and reached Manila on the 9th and Wichita on the Wth of November. Mr. H-uvey does not altogether like the Philippines, as the letter shows. The fol lowing extracts aie taken from the let ter verbatim. "Speaking of hot weather. If you were here you would think it very hot, when for tho most part the thermometer hugs the ri 6r a hundred mark. In order, to be comfortable here one must dress very cool. In the office and in my quarters I go simply in my undershirt except when an tjflicer is around and then I wear my military Khaki blouse, but just as soon as the officer leaves I take it off. If I had my way I would wear white clothing all the time, as it is so very much cooler than the other kind, but we are not al lowed to do so under existing orders. However, we have for the most part, plenty of rain, which cools the air some. From March till June are the hottest months, then comes the rainy season which lasts about five months, to Novem ber, then an occasional rain up till March when the dry hot season begins; between November and March we have an almost continual northeast wind." "Tropical plants and palms would he very nice if they were in America, but I fear you would soon tiro of them here. I am heartily sick of the Philippine, and shall rejoice when I leave here. Tf you were hero and I were a clvillian I could show you all of the interesting and curi ous things here. But as a soldier I fear I would be compelled to neglect your en joyment; such is soldiering here no lib ertyno nothing. An enlisted man is con sidered on about the same level as a dog In the eye of an officer. I knew what the army was when I camo into it. but I had an object when I enlisted. If I succeed in the next few months as I have in the past eight months. I will gain my pint I want an education and I wish to go to school for three years and it was neces sary that I should have a certain sum of money to pay my tuition and so forth, and now I am beginning to realize my wishes. I want to have it said that I wotked my way up." "The houses, or as w call them, "shacks" th" natives c;-ll them "Cassas" are built of Ba.nbto and nita the leaves. Tin y hava no chimneys. They are built about four feet off the ground. Glass windows are unknown in this country Earthquakes visit the cour.tr occasion ally shaking everything up lively some times. Nc nails are used here in build ing the houses here among the poorer classes, but the different parts are tied together with long strips of cane made from bamboo. The air here is very damp. Iron and brass rusts and leather molds. A watch must be enclosed in an abso lutely damp-proof case to protect It from the bad effects of the air. The natives, hcth men and women, dress very thinly, the men sometimes having nothing more on than a cloth around the hips, the re mainder of the body being perfectly nude. The women are not much better in their drrr.s and the chidren of both sexes from ore to about nine years old. go naked all the while. Should an American lady chance to pass through the neighbor hood where these people live, she should take no notice of it as the people are Jn noc nt mindtd. Then again they are so verv poor they cannot afford to buy the proper clothing for their children, much le.- ft r themselves". Their food consists mainly of fish and rice. "The natives in the Interior weflr aJ sombrero (hat) round in shape, about three fed in diameter, and in the small town1--, tbey go barehead'-d."

J. W. ROOKY ar.d WIKK A R'X'KV RE-EMPTED SITE OF CHICAGO Jacob S. Andrews Passed Away Yesterday. WAS A SCHOOL TEACHER And Repaired- Binders Wiliiam McCormick for HAD GREAT MENTAL GRASP Which He Retained Until His Death, Mr. Jacob Andrews died at his home, 423 South Lawrence avenue at noon yes terday. He had attained the ripe age of SI years and eight mouths. The cause of his death was the general debil ity an dold age, yet to the last he was possessed of a clear and impaired mind. He leaves surviving him, his daughter, Liiilu Andrews, and four sons, John G. Andrews, Silas Andrews, Will Andrews and Rex Andrews, all of this city. Mr. Andrews came to this city 1G years ago from Wapello, Iowa, where the greater part of his life was spent. He came here on account of his wife's health who lived but a few months after her ar rival. His life is remarkable for being connected with the great developments of this country. In 1SS3 he settled on the present site of Chicago. He was born In Northumberland, Penn., April 10, 1817, but went with his parents to Illinois. The trip took four weeks by wagon and steamboat. The damp low country which surrounded Chicago caused chills and fever to be the rule and health the ex ception. He has told how his father and his uncle and his brothers succumbed to its fatal effects and how neighbors struggled together to pay the taxes with prices at low water mark; -pork at cents a pound and wheat 40 and 45 cents J a bushel. "It was hard to make a little money," he would say, "but the tax had to be paid or the land would be lost, but we knew nothing of its future value, for then Chicago was a village, several miles distant. J fter this I sold a quarter section for $8,000 and thought I was doing well, yet knew nothing of Its future value and later when I sold 93 1-3 acres for $14,000 and thought that was doing well but the land has become so valuable that it sells for ?70 a front foot." He taught school part of his life. He j became a machinist and when the Mc Cormick reaper was invented went out for that company. Their reapers would get out of repair and were thrown back on the company s hands, but his ingen uity found the cause and the remedy and bound William McCormick to him as a personal friend. He went into mercan tile business in Indiana and passed through the early development of that state. He spent the most active portion of his life in Iowa at Wapello, where he was engaged in the implement business. Here he again wont through the discourage ments of a new country. Wheat sold for 30 cents a bushel and crops failed and want was evident everywhere, but those who wcatherel the storms reaped a rich harvest. When the wheat drill first made its appearance he had a car load shipped him from Dublin, Ireland. He was :narried twice, having no chil dren by his first wife. While in Iowa he was active in politics, lecturing and writing on behalf of good government in that state. He was asked to represent his people in the state legis lature, but always refused and kept cloae to business. Since his wife's dejth he has passed a retired life here in Wichita. He was a sincere Christian and at his death a member of the First Presbyterian church of this city. He was always a worker in his church. He was broad minded and believed that the world was growing better. He watched Its develop ment and learned with pleasure of the great inventions which have all come within his life time. Though extremely feeble in late years he retained his won derful mental grasp and rare judgment. He also was Interested in the location of the Orient shops and to his death kept abreast of his times. He was still cheer ful and saw the pleasant and bright side of life with always a joke for the oc casion. He was interested in the great events which are now transpiring and said that though he had lived a long time, yet he would like to live more that he might see the great improvements of the future. Of such men has the develop ment of the best been made. The funeral will take place from his late residence at 3:00 o'clock this after noon. Rev. Bradt will conduct the services. Tomorrow morning at 9:5 his children will leave with his remains over the Rock Island for Wapello, Iowa, where his mor tal remains will rest beside tho mother and childien who preceded him, whether his hopes and'faith have ever carried him. ON APPROVING A BOND Will District Court Cleric Kuvo to Accept Any Security. Tbe famous hail cases are trying to break into the district court again. Judge Ray. on Monday of this week, filed 18 new cases agair.st as many different far mers in this county, and there is likely to be a lively scrap over the cases at the very start. t Judge Kay offered as security for the x costs a man who saW he owned three farms in Sumnvr county, hut hf said two of them were in hi.s wife's name. Dis trict Court Clerk Williams hold ib.at thv bond was insufficient, and he refused to accept it, and right there in the point that is going to cause Ut- svrap. Judge Ray told the clerk that if he did not accept tbe bond be won id mandamus him, if he had to go to tho supreme court to secure his writ. Fred Williams stood l-t, and told him to cnifk his whip. If the case is taken up. it will settle some vvry important matu is in rogard to die power of tho district court c!rk in turn ing down or accepting bonds. Judge Daje has already turned down bonds approved by tbe clerk of the city court, holding that it was the dut of the judge f tbe city court to approie bonds?, li has. however. hpn the practice for the it-rk of the district court to ap- pioe all bonds, but jitst how far his v? power goes in decliuinc to accept bud- j men is a question. Judge Ray will ci- j$ deatly take the position in this particular case that when the proper oath was ffi'-d th" clf-rk had :io ri?lit to reject tht bond.

M Jane, and when objection was made the judges put Mr. Lane'on the witness stand and satisfied themselves outside of the sworn statement that the bond was good. It is claimed that the clerk of the dis trict court lias the same right when he approves a bond to be satisfied in his own mind that the persons signing it are good and that, if he is not so satisfied, he has a right to reject it- That is the point that will bo brought to tho attention of Judge Dale or the supreme court. PLEASANT EUCHRE PARTY Mrs. George Matthews Entertained About Thirty Friends. Teste rnay afternoon from 2 until 5 o'clock, Mrs. George Mattliews enter tained about thirty of her friends at a six-hand euchre party at her lovely home. S21 North Waco avenue. The jmrty was a merry one and all afternoon the In terior of the home was aglow with cheer ful and happy conversation. Outside the weather was dark and gloomy but it might juet as well have been pleasant for all the effect upon the company within. The parlors, of the home wre tastefully arranged for the occasion in a manner that added much to the pleasure of the guests. Little tables were here and there for the benefit of the players and thesofas were conveniently arraign Sprays of asparagus were tastefully nlaced on the different candelabras and in various other places adding a soften ing tone to the already pleasant rooms. Tho guests gathered around the tables and engaged in card playing and the afternoon passed away very quickly. A very unique feature of the reception was the prizes that were offered for the best players. They wero point lace collars and very much admired by the ladies. Mrs. Chas. Smyth and Mrs. Chas. Brooks won the prizes. After tho gjimes were over refresh ments wero served and very much en joyed by all. The menu was very elabor ately served and was as follows: Oyster Patties. Lobster Salid in Oyster Patties. Lobster Salad in Aspic Jelly. Pickled Peaches. Crackers. Coffee. Frozen Pudding. Cake. The reception will be continued this af ternoon at the same hours and the same pleasant time will certainly greet all of the guests. BRICK Dold Will VALLS WILL RISE Increase Force cf Brick layers.
