HALF DONE

The district court proceedings of
Thursday last show that out of twenty
names drawn Judge GTayes was able to
impanel only niue or ten jurYmen.
The question is why? l was not be-
cause large number o: men legally
capable as jurymen asked TO be excused,
but because such men were not drawn.
The law is plain on this point, and not
susceptible OF being misunderstood
by the assessors whose duty It is to draw
the names. Persons holding office un-
der the state or United States, attorneys.
physicians, ministers, professors, teach
ers, fireman, persons under. physical dis
abilities, persons oyer sixty years old,
and Others as distinctly specI-
fed, are exempt from serving
on jury, and al least ten of the twenty
drawn to-day were found to be 50
exempt. The result IS an unnecessary
expense and an annoying delay in the
work of the district court. We do
not like to believe those whose
duty it is to draw these names
could so signally fail in judgment, or be
so devoid of Information as to make this
WHOLESALE" blunder; neither Is it pleas.
ing to think they were thoughtless OF
careless officially, but the result is from
one cause or the other. The
jury box is not an official playthIng OF
the drawing of the names from it fol-
anybody's amusement. This delay and
unnecessary expense are inexcusable
and SO peprepibly so that We take this
opportunity to ask for business, strictly

and in Oklahoma for several years, and
know whereof we speak, when we say
that many cattle, horses, sheep and hogs
are held In inclosed pastures fenced by
barbed wire, both on the strip and IN
Oklahoma; and further, much of said
territory is capable of being cultivated,
being rich land, well watered and wood.

Is now occupied by cattlemen, having
ranch buildings, occupied winter and
summer by employees engaged in caring
for said stock, These are not molested

der[aken to move upon these lands and
have been as repeatedly expelled by the
military, their leaders arrested
and dragged to Forts Reno and Smith
ostensibly for trial, charged with the

CITY LIBRARY ENrERrAINMENr

To the CitIzeps of Emporia:

some Statements From the Library
CommIttee-Why the Grand MOdOc
Entertainments Is to be Given.
To the Citizens Of Emporia:
It is probably well known to you that
our city enjoys the advantages of an e1-
excellent public library, the use Of which
Is free TO ali of our citizens. There can
be no doubt of the value of such an in
stitution when properly managed, either
from an intellectual or moral stand
point. A well selected library with its
necessary adjunct, q good reading
room ofen TO the public at all times, Is
one Of the best means Of combining both
instr uction and recreation to those hav-
ing leisure or to strangers and visitors
among us, providing q place where an
idle hour may be spent prcfilablY, and
10 that extent at least beng an antidote
to the vicious and demoralizIng tenden-
cIes of the saloon aud gaming table. We
all know that the great incentive to the
saloon consists less in its Own allure
ments than in the absence
Of 1 ealthful places of resort where the
hours, which lie too heavily on our
hands at times may be spent. The city
has endeavored TO furnish such g place
IN the public library, and We think with
degree of success that Is most encour-
aging. Although less than year old,
nearly 500 families are availing them
selves OF its advantages, while the read
ing room is we'll patronized. 1t has be-
come necessary, in view of its extended
use to increase the supply, both of books
and periodicals. and the library commit
tee has concluded to give an entertain
ment at the Whitley opera house on the
evening Of March IA to raise money for
these purposes,
The famous Modocs of Topeka have
consented to give their services free OF
charge, and the directors OF the opera
house have been very generous. The
committee therefore, in view or the ex-
cellent character of the entertainment TO
be offered, and of the objects and advan-
tages, feel warranted IN urging the resi-
dents of our city to extend TO the library
helping hand by patrOnIzing the en-
tertainment. Tickets so cents; children
under ~ years % cents.
