Narrnes BLOCKING In

GUTHRIE, o. T., August 27.-As result of
the work of the Langston agents, hundreds
of negroes have already gone to Langstons
and are being cared for there by their col
ored friends, until the time for the invasion
arrives Many negroes are arriving daily,
and by the time the lands are proclaimed
open to settlement, it IL believed that thous-
to take part in the race for homes.
Most of the negroes are armed, and 1t Is
believed that they will make an organized
effort to exclude all but members out of the
race or from selling claims, at least, until
each negro has found home.
The organization is secret, and until to-
day their objects and plans have been known
to none but themselves.

Short of Cars.

ST.. LOUIS, August 2s.-All st. Louis roads
are complaining of shortage in freight cars,
and it is because they cannot obtain posses
sion of their own property. Many small
roads. especially in the cotton belt and
throughout the south, have on their tracks
cars belonging to the trunk lines, which they
say they will not be able to return and ignore
all demands for their restoration. The rea-
son for the refusal of the southern roads to
return borrowed cars, is the low price of cot
ton causing the planters TO hold back their
crops, and freight that would have been
moved long ago has not yet been handled.
The big roads are making herculean efforts
to secure control of their property as they
are fearful of freight car famine when they
begin to move in earnest.

G. Gloger, Druggist, Watertown,

who keeps a drug store, sells all

A SPANISH paper gives to the world
the information, which is important If
true, that the morning cup of coffee is
an excellent weather indicator. The
coffee must be the genuine article. A
lump of sugar should be dropped into
it without stirring, aud a quantity of
bubbles will presently rise to the sur
face. If these bubbles collect in the
middle of the cup the weather for the
day will be fair. If they adhere to the
sides, forming either q ring or a clus-
ter, with the space in the center clear,
there viii be rain. If they scatter in
differently over the surface the wealth
er viii be variable. As you read at
breakfast this morning you can call
for fresh cup of coffee, drop in your
lump of sugar, and await results. If
the weather turns ont to be what the
bubbles prophecy, you have learned
something valuable. If not, remem-
Der these directions have not cost YOU

ARE we to have annual interviews
with business men concerning the
value of college education to young
men who are to make money-getting
their object in life? It would seem so,
for We are now having over again
series of interviews with sapient men
of commerce, who are pretty generally
unanimous in their condemnation of
the business capacity of the college
bred youth If they are right, their
business, as it is conducted, is OPP
posed to civilization. The condemna-
ton. it should be observed, is of edu-
cation, not of exceptional cases Of
youth who have gone through college
without either honor or profit. A
college education units one for the &C
tive pursuits of business, say the OBJ
jectors. Then the training of the
mental powers, the acquisition Of
knowledge, the development of taste
for arts, an acquaintance with the
fundamental laws of science, habits of
honest and thorough research, are all
detrimental to the young man who
would make his way in trade and COM
merce. If this is true, then trade and
commerce are the enemies of the age,
and civilization demands return to the
barter system of the twilight time of
savagedom.
