That One Should Live in the Building,. Guthrie, O. T., July 17. The commis sion of physicians appointed by Gover nor Ferguson to Investigate conditions at the Oklahoma Sanitarium, has nld its report. The report is very brief and only a few suggestions were made. The commission commends the rsanagement of the the sanitarium for the improve ment of the general ccdltlons in that In stitution. ;Tho report is as follows: Hon. T. B. Ferguson. Governor, Guth rie. O. T.: Dear Sir: Your committee appointed to inspect the Oklahoma asylum and premisus at Norman. Oklahoma Terri tory, report as follows: Tho sanitary condition is good, ex cept as to the kitchen and dining-room, which are in an unhealthy condition both as to location and surroundings. It Is our opinion that the kitchen and dining room should bo removed from the base ment to a room above ground where drainage and the disposition of refuse matter could be facilitated, or be other wise provided for". Tho food&uppIy is sufficient in quality and quantity. The nuisance that arose from the cess pool is at present eliminated. The fire escape has been provided, and tho exits .in wards nine and ten hayo been amply provided. The hospital has been completed and the rooms are in good condition, but there are not enough of thein. The water from tho sanitarium well fs of excellent quality, but the pumping and storing facilities are inadequate. Inasmuch as tho water supply from tho city waterworks Is uncertain and inade quate, it Is our opinion that tho pump ing, and the storing facilities of the san itarium should bo increased. It is our opinion that tho resident physician should reside within tho asylum. The total number of patients are f. of which 1C3 are women, 1S7 men. and eight children. In tho hospital for men, thero aro.nlno patients; in the ward for women, there are three patients. The patients generally aro in a. hearty condition and tho committee commends tha management of the sanitarium com pany for the Improved condition of tho inmates, the asylum and the premises. E. H. COOK, M. D.. B. F. HAMILTON, JNO.W. WERNER, Governor Ferguson was well satisfied with the conditions at the sanitarium. He said: "From what the physicians told me, when they submitted tho re port, tho sanitarium is in good condi tion. I feel that the contract is being fulfilled as wel as could be expected. J. R. Cottlngham, one of the stockholders In the company. Is Idrgejy responsible for the changed conditions in the institu tion."

Mr. Howard will go on to Lawton. re turning to Guthrie Monday morning. There are a number of counties yet to report artd until these reports are re ceived tho commission can" do nothing in the way of determining on the appor tionment It is probable that another member of the commission, possibly Mr. Wood, will go to tho northern part of the territory to hurry hp some reports that are slow In coming in. From all Indications it la probable that It will be next week or later bofore the commission can determine upon any of the districts. Several districts nave been talked of. but as yet no determination has been made upon any of tbem. SHORTAGE OF LABOR Choctaw Can't Get Enough Hands for Store Room Work. Shawnee. O. T.. Joly 17.

Whhm mm l&sJe: giidajj a. fitly IS, 1902. M. M. MURDOCK, Editor. CURTIS' WICHITA HEADQUARTERS. It is announced that Congressman Curtis, who repre Bents the Topeka contingent of political grafters in Con gress, whether he is in the Fourth district or whether he isn't, and which contingent has been seeking to make him their United States Senator, is going to open up a political headquarters in Wichita. The proposition has an exaggerated seeming. As a scheme to directly cap ture any portion of this section, it is bald piece impu dence. If the little Potjawatomie--schemer from the Kaw opens up any headquarters in Wichita there will he more to it than an open effort to directly secure votes for Topeka's candidate for the United States Senate. In face of the fact that Curtis, ignoring the petition and efforts of practically all of the lawyers of Southern Kan eas from Fort Scott to Garden City, "surreptitiously de feated the bill to make two Federal Court districts of the state, a measure which would have proved of great convenience to not only the lawyers of Southern Kansas but to all litigants in the Federal Courts from this sec tion, besides being of political interest generally, for him, now, to attempt dominating or influencing this, sit uation in his personal or political interest would be sim ply a piece of gall. If such headquarters are opened here it will be a combine-interest, not for weakening Stanley at his home, but for defeating Long in his own district When the inside of such a move shall have developed the comfort Mr. Curtis will receive would prove -invthine but warm or assuring. Curtis no doubt is a great man in the estimation of his Topeka backers, and this section of the state is entirely willing that he shall continue to represent Topeka in Congress. But when it comes to spreading one of his calibre and. of nominal standing in Congress out all over Kansas there is too much of diafroretic gauziness for the maximum of sub stance. Wichita makes no pretensions as a political Mecca, but the people of Southwest Kansas know a Etatesman when they see him. Of course we elected Jerry Simpson a couple of times, but Jerry is not only sui genens, to the manner born, but more of a states man than this Topeka Congressman who it is now said is proposing to spring a political coup on the Southern Kansas situation, differing from the one' sprang by him in his own district two years ago by which he defeated our present nominee for Governor, only in that it in volves or is intended to enhance the chances of others. who are o help him pull a wire. We cat, hardly bring ourselves to believe that any such thing is seriously con templated. O CALL OFF THE NEWSPAPER DOGS. The editor of the Hiawatha World demands that Bailey call off his "newspaper dogs" who ore harking at Curtis. Coupled with such advice is the covert sugges tion that Curtis' friends might bolt or scratch Bailey. That would be Curtis-policy to a dot In the meantime EU'jpose Mr. Curtis' "newspaper coyotes" do a little less howling. There are not so many of them, to be sure, but their din is annoying to those of us who desire to rest quietly till the alarm clock in Mort Albaugh's office goes off. True Bailey seems to have in leech a goodly number of -called "newpaper dogs," but they are bred away up, and are deep-mouthed. When they get to Laying in concert the horizon of the Hiawatha World will shiver and its Mt Pelee editor suddenly subside. Thtre is another marked difference between the Willis Jacob Bailey breed of "newspaper dogs" and the Curtis coyotes and that is the former rustle their own living, tho exceptions, if there be any, wearing no collars. Be 6idcs they never lose tho scent of the trail or get out of hearing of the horn. entific sanitation. Its public buildings and harbor im provements would be notable anywhere in the world and its business is enormous. Only half a dozen of the foremost cities of the earth can rival its progress. Yet the country which has massed 20 per cent of its people in this fine capital easily beats the average of Ameri can states with equal population, in agricultural pro ducts. In the light of such an object lesson on the powers of the oldest Latin races, where they have a new and favorable field to work in, only narrow and conceited Atglo-Saxons can doubt that their race, masterful though it is and tremendous as the part must be which it is destined to play in the world's progress, will have com petition worthy of its best possibilities. The onward march of mankind will not be confined to one country or system of countries, nor one or two continents. will not be guided or measured by the work of one race alone, but all parts of the world will play their part, -and many nations will keep the strongest and most gifted hard at work to win the honors of the wide rivalry in the arts of civilization and the conquest of nature's treasures. DON'T COMPREHEND THE SITUATION. Mr. Hanna says the Republican party is responsible for the prosperity of the country. We presume that Mr. Hanna bases his opinion upon the fact that the Re publicans are running the Weather Bureau. The latter Institution is supplying the weather and the weather is making the big crops. Washington Post The presumption is wrong. Mr. Hanna based his op-' ion on a much better understanding of the facts than the writer of the above paragraph seems to have. Mr. Hanna is well aware that the big crops do not make the country prosperous when the government is in the control of a party of unsound principles and unwise policies. Crops were not short in the hard times years of Cleveland and low tariff. The chief cause of Populism in Kansas and other agricultural states was the fact that times were distressingly" hard, notwithstanding that crops were boun tiful. The greatest corn crop Kansas ever raised was in one of these dark years; the yield was enormous, and the market price was ten cents a bushel. Farmers used the grain as fuel, and joined the Populist party by the thousand. In those years the mills and factories of the country wero closed shut down by the Wilson bill. Men were tramping about the country by the hundreds of thous ands, vainly hunting employment. The home market was paralyzed and tho farmers had no sale for their products. It was only when a Republican President was elected on a protection and sound money platform tl prosperity began to return. The first thing President McKinley did was to convene Congress in special session to replace the disastrous low tariff law with one which would protect home industry and revive business. It was the good work of a Republican President and Con gress that rescued the country from depression and dis tress, not an increase in the size of the crops. Last year was one of the best years farmers and the country ever had, and last year was not up to the average as a crop year. These facts are particularly worth rehearsing just now for the reason that the Democratic party, following the advice of Mr. Cleveland, is proposing to again place the country under low tariff. The campaign slogan is to be 'Tariff Reform!' just as It was when Cleveland was re-elected and the conditions were produced which sunk the American people lower in the scale of human misery than they ever were before In time of peace, and lower, it is hoped, than they ever will be again. Kansas City Journal. ANOTHER GREAT AMERICAN REPUBLIC. The Republic of North America is the greatest in the world the greatest of all history. But the Argentine Republic of South America, not made up of or conducted by Anglo-Saxons, but by Latins, is rapidly coming to the fore. While it Is conceded or expected that hereditary rule must soon be relegated, that the world has outgrown crowns and all other hereditary foolishness, especially that tho Anglo Saxon race will not much longer brook aristocratic rule, still it has been estimated that the I,atin race are best suited to raonarchial rule. Argentine 6tems to tell a different tale. For. example, official reports just published at Wash ington show that In 1S99. a census year, the value of the agricultural products of the Argentine Republic was n!xut $275,1" iu.000 in gold. The country is distinctively a live stock region, and the products of its vast herds and flocks are not included in these figures. Neither are the timber and other products of its great forests. To make fair comparison with the statistics of the latest census in this country, all products of animals Fold or otherwise disposed cf on farms, and also all products of forests, raised on farms or obtained from them, should be Included, for in the official records of American agriculture all these items count- Yet not withstanding this great handicap for the Argentines, in comparisons of agricultural statistics, our representative states are beaten by the farmers of the big Spanish Italian republic of the La Plata valley. The populaion of New York is 50 per cent larger than that of the Argentine Republic, and yet the valua of the agricultural products of the latter country is greater than that of the farm products of the Empire State, including timber and wood, and all animal products, though none of these items are taken into account in Arrviitine reports. Michigan and Gxrgie are two fine ogricultural states, representing the North and the South. Their confined populations is equal to that of the Argentine Republic, but the latter beats them both to gether In the value of It? farm products, giving the two American states the great advantage cf coding prod ucts of animals and forests, while excbu!:r.s them in the statistics of tho South American country. Nor must it be forgotten that there are great cities in the Argentine Republic. The country is by no mean;; wholly rural. Buenos Ay res :s the largest city south of the equator. It was far behind Melbourne, Australia, two or three decades age 1 ut the Latin city has beaten the British colonial metrr-m. so completely that the two are not !n the same class now.

Apparently authentic reports from South Africa say that the three leading Boer generals of the later stages of the war with England, Botha, De Wet and Delaroy, are going to Europe and will later visit the United States. They intend to lecture hero for tho purpose of raising as much money as possiblo to help pay tho expense of restoring, in some degree, the farmr and fortunes of Boers ruined bj their struggle for Independ ence. Another work which the three famous leaders will undertalre is the preparation of an official history of the war, from the Boer side. Both tasks are Important, and both must excite much interest in the United States and in other countries of the civilized world. America, rich, happy and forunate in the enjoyment of entire independence, will certainly respond generously to the appeals of men so much ad mired here as the three leaders of the forlorn hope of tho Boers, In the last year or more of their struggle. Their countrymen ought to be hleped in getting a new start in the care of their families, and the people of the United States will not be backward in aiding such a cause. A NEBRASKA VIEW OF IT. Congressman Long of Kansas is making a telling campaign for re-election on the platform of support for President Roosevelt. "The best way to be for Roose velt in 1904," he says, "is to be for his policies in 1902." The manner in which this left-handed slap at Senator Burton is received leaves no doubt as to the sentiment of the Republicans of Kansas. Congressman Long's key note for the campaign was uttered at Hutchinson in the following words: "A situation arose in the Senate that was without precedent and which was entirely unexpected, which blocksd legislation on the subject of the session, but it will not prevent the legislation finally giving Reciproc ity with Cuba. Some of you may have read President Roosevelt's Pittsburg speech in which he said 'Reciproc ity is as sure as fate." It is as sure as fate and I believe that Kansas is with President Roosevelt in this matter. The best way to be for Roosevelt in 1904 is to support his policies in 1902."Nebraska State Journal.

He brushes a servant at every turn. Yv"hen he dines, if the fair Margaret will ask him to dine, ho eats of every known deli cacy. Bhort, perhaps, of nightingale's tongues. No one ever enters the grounds of Miss Margaret Drury unchallenged.

She Is a dainty Miss, and is everlastingly looking for what, from her standpoint, is the eternal fitness of things. A sing le thread of a rug that does not harmonize with the tint of a wall means the relegating of the rug to tho garret. The very confections which she pretily picks with her slender fingers from -a sil ver box must harmonize in color with the gown which she wears. There is a portrait gallery In Margaret Drury's residence, and from its walls look down colonial dames and revolution ary soldiers. One portrait occupies the place of honor." It Is that of Margaret Drury's great-grandfather. The painting shows him dressed as a nofficer of the continentals. An officer he was. Marga ret Drury is proud.

Shanon went to Marga ret Drury's with relatives whom he was visiting and who had been Invited to one of My Lady Disdain's entertainments. James Shannon was teller in a bank at S1800 a year.
