Oklahoma, following Kansas, is dra-
matte in all its denouments. The Terrill
trial, now IN progress in the territory.
has the attention OF the people to the
exclusion of every other subject, not
excepting the appointment of a new
governor. Ira Terrill introduced and
was the foremost champion of bill for
capital punishment in the last Oklahoma
Legislature, and his efforts were crowned
with success. Now, he is on trial for
murder, and there is only the slightest
hope for him TO cling to that ne will not
be convicted of murder in the first
oagree and hanged in due accordance
with the law he SO zealously championed.

Dakota's Bad Lands.

The Bad Lands OF Dakota are COM
posed OF white clay, which, by the
action OF rains, has been cut into hill
locks. They are not high. seldom
more than forty Or fifty feet. but 1t is
I'D one and down another the whole
way. There are no water courses, the
nearest approach being gully forty
feet deep, with foot and a half OF
mud at the bottom. At every few
yards you must stop, and. with spade
and shovel, cut path down the side
of hill in order to descend and then
up the side Of the one opposite in
order to get up again. The mud is as
sticky as tar. and in going few yards
the wheels of wagon become solid
round cakes, and all the mules you
can hitch to j. will not be able to pull
it a foot farther. Then the spades arc
brought and the wheels cleared. the
operation being repeated two or three
times in hundred yards. The ex

Tho Finger Nails.

There is n common belief that tho
finger nails are poisonous; which idea
is natural enough, considering tho
fact that scratches made by them are
generally quite irritable and much in
clined to unusua! inflammation.
The reasoning is erroneous. how
ever, for, as far as is known, the nails
themselves do not have any poisonous
properties. The trouble excited by
them is due to the foreign deposits I'M
der them. In other words, il one
keeps his finger nails clean. scratches
caused by them will be no moro irrita-
Bile than those produced by any like
instrument that is considered inno-
cent.
The results OF the examinations
made in Vienna show that it is more
important that the finger nails be KEEP
clean than any would suppose. Saw
enty-eight were made, and there were
found thirty kinds OF micrococci
eighteen different bacilli and TIRES
kinds OF sarcenn; besides, common
mold spores were present in many in

THE BIRTHPLACE OF BURNS.
BY ROBERT q. lNGERSOLL.

Though Scotland boasts a thousand names
or patriot, king and peer.
The noblest, grandest of them all
Was loved and Graded here.
Here lived the gentle peasant priEee,
The loving cotter king,
compared with whom the greatest lord
Is but tilted thing.
IT'S but cot rooted in with straw,
A howell made of clay;
One door shuts out the snow and storm,
One window greets the day.
And vet stand within this room
And hold all thrones in scorn,
For here beneath this lowly thatch,
Loves sweetest bard was born.
Within this hallowcd hut feel
Like one who clasps shrine.
When the glad lips at last have touched
The something deemed divine
And here the world through all the years
AS long as day returns,
The tribute of its love and tears
Will pay to Robert Burns.

INDIAN AID HE BRE w.
A Comparison OF Some Customs OF the Two
Races

Early travellers among the Indians
claim TO have found rites and ccrcmon- |
les strikingly similar TO those OF tho |
Jews. says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. George Catlin, the artist, who
spent Il considerable portion Of his
life among the tribes, said he believed
they had Jewish blood in their veins.
although he could not go so far as to
identify them with the lost tribes OF
Israel. The Indians worshiped a
Great Spirit or II Jehovah. ldolaters
were never found on the North Aneri-
cen continent. The tribes had their
council or medicine houses, which
they held most sacred. They had
their high priests and their prophets.
They followed the Hebrew custom in
not allowing the women to worship
with the men. Fifty years ago the
Sioux exploited the same belief that
they are dancing themselves crazy
about now. They maintained that
the Indians were the chosen people OF
the Great Spirit, and that in time they
were to triumph over the rest OF the
world through Messiah.
In marriage the Indians had customs
which savored OF Palestine. They
gave presents for their wives. In
their bathing and in their family re.
lations they followed with rem arkable
precision many Of the requirements oil
the Mosaic law. They observed
certain laws OF publication which the
old testament teaches. Fifty years
ago travellers found no difficulty in dis
covering the practice of these rights
and ceremonies by the Indians. Blu
as the line of white settlement ad
vanced the Indians gave up their OLE
customs. Their forms were laughed
at by white men and many OF then
were abandoned. The ghost dance
which the Sioux have been soaring tn
, frontier with, is the old sun dane

DO NOT FLY OFF THE HANDLE.

Complaint is heard from almost every
county in the territory regarding the de-
lay of the territorial printer in forwarding
to the various county officials the neces-
sary blanks, laws, ETC., required by them,

This delay has put the work of assess
ment back at least two weeks, and will

The complaint is unjust and unfair.
The auditor could not prepare the as
sessment blanks until after the adjourn
ment of the legislative assembly, Feb
ruary 26, last, as ON the night of that
day, the assessment law was radically
changed; there are no blanks furnished
to counties by the territory except as
sessment schedules, tax rolls and tax
receipts, connected with the tax
system; all other blanks must be
procured by the counties at their own ex-
pense. There being change in the au-
ditors Office. the blanks could not be pre-
pared and printed till the change had
taken place, as the old auditor would not

take the responsibility of preparing
blanks for his successor.
The assessment blanks are now being
sent out as rapidly as possibly and all the
counties that have applied for them have
been furnished with them.
As We have said the complaints are
unjust and unfair as made against the
auditor and printer; they ought to be
made against the Democratic Doodle
house of the legislative assembly that
would not pass an appropriation bill until
the last minute and cut down appropria-
tons even for the necessary tax blanks
so as to cripple the public business and
as to make it impossible for the territory
to supply all the books and blanks for the
assessment and collection of taxes that
ought to be supplied to c u'.tles under
the law.
