Of Kansas, Lawrence. Kans., will
confer favor on the investigator,
and it is hoped, on the farmers.
Mistakes will happen. A
/ prominent citizen of Denver got
married the other day to hand
some Colorado woman, but the
careless operator Of the Associated
Press substituted the word "col-
oredo for Colorado" and now
his eastern friends are writing let
ters which he is ramming into the
throat Of 4 muzzle-loading gun and
praying Nomisis to send that OPP
orator out Of his hiding place for
just one little moment.
Exchange. Many farmers are
sowing rye for winter pasture.
This is a good move. A good rye
pasture will be Of estimable value
this winter in view of the scarcity
Of other feed. A few acres Of tur-
nips would also be Of great value.
II we should get plenty Of rain
from this on, good hay may be
obtained by sowing millet There
are many ways in which the farm
ers can find relief from the effects
OF the drouth. All who are pres
pared to do SO should make it
point to sell all the butter posi-
BILE. This will help out wonder
fully on current expenses. The
rye pasture and plenty OF turaips
will make lots Of butter.
One of the rising industries of
Philadelphia is the bogus coffee in
dustry. An enterprising manufac-
turer has discovered a process by
which an excellent imitation of the
coffee berry can be made from
-four. The ilour is reduced to
dough, the dough is run through
machine which molds it into coffee
grains, and the grains are baked
until they assume a coffee color
In its "circular to the trade" this
enterprising firm assures the dealer
that he "can safely mix fifteen per
cent.of the substitute with genuine
coffee" " that he can largely in
crease his profits, and his transac-
tions with the firm will be treated
with the "strictest confidence.
-CofieyviIle Journal:-Bob
Sadler found an old flint lock in
the bed of the Verdigris, near this
ely On Monday that. is. cuSiosity
of its kind. 1t had evidently lain
in the water for many years.
Small pebbles had grown fast to
the iron, and it is nearly eaten up
with rust. How it came to be in
the river is mystery. #*k A
large acreage Of wheat viii be sown
in Montgomery county this year.
Our farmers are beginning to re-
alize that they have made a mis-
take in neglecting wheat. The
work in this crop comes in time
when the farmers attention is not
required in any other direction,
and it is marketable at time of
the year when there is no other
crop ready to move. The fall and
winter pasture furnished young
stock by crop goes a long way
towards the expense Of putting it
in.
Oklahoma Journal:-There ar

cial Agent Late Merritt and In
dian Agent S. l.. Patrick direct
from the Kickapoo village, where
an attempt had been made to en-
roll that tribe. a council Of the
head men was had both ON Satur-
day and Monday, at each Of which
they positively refused to be
counted. The fact is that the
Kickapoo is a malignant tribe.

with the Cherokee Commission for
cession Of the large reservation
they occupy, at an offer from the
government of 100000 and 100
acres Of selected land for each man

They are very stubborn and SUI
porstitious and bitterly object to
listening to approaching officials
upon any subject in reality for
their own well-being. They have
occupied their present reservation
for Is years, having been removed
here from Mexico, during which
time no enrolment has been Ia
ken Of them. Their agent has
been ordered to do SO however at
all hazard, and now that they have
refused, troops viii undoubtedly
be called in to assist in the work.
The above named officials wired
the department at Washington
statement OF the situation and ask
Cd for military aid which will
probably be furnished from the
camp at this point or from Fit Reno.
Brother in Red.-The s400, 900
appropriation for Creeks per capita
payment has been favOrably re-
ported by the conference committee
and will doubtless be granted by
congress. In view of the appro-
priation Capt. F. B. Sewers has
advanced in supplies aud goods
many thousands of dollars. For
the last three weeks his stores at
both Muskogee and Okmulgee
have been crowded. He could
hardly find clerks enough to wait
