Ed. Rog1SteT-Ihe weather clerk Is still
surprising Us by furnishing April weather
| in January. Some persons seem to think
| it will prove disastrous to chinch -bngs and
therefore, indirectly, at least, beneficial to
wheat. In Il recent conversation with Rev.
]. Il. Adams, at Goodland, that gentleman
expressed the opinion that farmers should
freely use the fied-roler on their wheat
fields in early Spring. He said that the
festive bug at that season of the year re-
moves the soil from the roots Of the wheat
plant and proceeds 10 deposit its eggs
thereat; that as Il consequence Of having the
soil removed from its roots the plant under
goes partial decay and is stunted, if not
more seriously damaged-and the field
roller, freely used then, will compact the
soil, directly benefitting the wheat and in
terrupting, to considerable extent, the pro-
pagation of the bugs, and consequently
decimating the ranks of the worst enemy of
one of our principal cereals. He further
more claims that the heavy Spring-rains
advantage the wheat-crop greatly, because
they so thoroughly compact the soil, and
that, as natural consequence, if the soil is
compacted by artificial means-as by the
use of a roler-two or three weeks
previous to the precipitation of such rains,
thus treated will mature that much sooner
than if it had not been "rolled," and that,
therefore, it would be harvested before the
chinch bugs could do it serious injury.

Again the undersigned finds it necessary
to remind the people that it is his duty to
require prompt payment of the taxes due
the State and County. The law gives me
ample power to compel their payment on or
before the 1st of January, and to this end
requires me to seize and sell sufficient per-
sonai property TO pay all dues and cost of
procedure. am 10th to do this, and hence
have put off using extreme measures to the
latest moment. That time has now arrived,
and now give final notice that seizure and
sale Of property will be made on all delin-
quents after the 1st day of February. This
will be unpleasant for me and expensive for
you, but it will be unavoidable. Be warned

In several townships in Mississippi
county the" Wheelers" have been hold
ing their meetings in the district
school houses. A question was raised
as to whether permission could legally
be given secret organization to holC
meetings in a public school building
State Superintendent Coleman was
appealed to, and the following is his
full reply in the premises:
HON. H. j. DEAL, Charleston, No.:
Dear Sr:-In compliance with the. re-
request of Hon. j. NJ. Seibert, the following
is furnished as an answer to your COM
munication to him, concerning the right of
| a secret organization holding its meetings in
public school house. See. 1044 of the r.
S. of 1879 provided for the care of the public
school houses and the property therein, pac
ing this power in the hands of the board ;
See - Mo-, 251. Attemlts were made to
use the school house-under that section
for Sunday school and other public pur-
poses, but the Court held that ''the board of
directors cannot authorize the school build
ing, put up and furnished under the school
law, to be used for purpose of teaching a
Sunday SCHOOL, 81 Mo-, 80. After this
decision was rendered, the Legislature, in
1881, amended Sec. 1044 by adding the fol-
lowing sentence: "Nothipg in this section
shall be SO construed as to prevent the use
of any school house for religious, literary or
other public purposes, when such use shall
be demanded by a majority of the voters of
such district, voting at an annual or special
meeting where such question was submit
ted"
Now, sir, it is evident that public school
house can be used only for ''pubi: pur-
poses"-eyen when majority of all the
qualified voters shall vote therefor; this
precludes and shuts out all secret oTganza-
tions societies.. This section was amended
so as to permit the people-if majority so
desired-to have Sunday school, religious
worship, lyceums, and other meetings as
public" as those specified. Therefore, the
ruling of this department is that, No secret
organization, club or lodge, can legally
hold its meetings in public school honse,
even though an unanimous vote was cast
therefor. Yours truly,
w. E. COLEMAN.
There was a shooting match at the resi-
denca Of Mr.. John Inman's Saturday, Jan

Chess Wheeler, and r. Mears. There were
some very fine shots made. One goose
brought upwards of s., and was killed by
the owner, Mr.. J. Innman. Mr.. David Rose
was very severely kicked by a very fine gun
owned by Mr.. Frank Rose. The writer had

Oklahoma,

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
Can wholesale bloOdshed be prevented? Per-
haps not now. but can We see no reason why it
might not have been. Suppose the land sur
veyed and marked off into quarter sections
and sold at auction to the highest bidder, with
the provision that no man should have more
than quarter section or 160 acres, what would
prevent peaceful settlement of the whole mat
ter? OF course, there would be objections to
this, but nothing to be compared to the pros
pective evils. Of course, again, it is not ac-
cording to the usual policy of the government
but the circums Eances arc so unusual that the
government might very well vary its policy
We presume it is too late for the suggestion.
but we are not at all sure that the facts might
not justify the calling OF halt and the issuing
OF a new, or at least u modified proclamation.
