bushels, or an average for the state of
little more than 15t bushels per acre.
This total is divided among the three
belts of the state, as follows: Acreage in
eastern belt, composed of thirty nine
counties, $4,000; yield, -, 10000
bushels, or 1877 bushels per acre;
acreage in central belt, composed
of thirty-five counties, 1850, 900:
yield 100000 bushels, or 1906
bushels per acre; acreage in western belt
4S9, 900; yield 7,24S.000 bushels, or 14.92
bushels per acre. 1t will be seen that
the acreage of wheat in what is known
as the central belt is more than twice as
large as the eastern and western belts
combined.
The individual reports from counties
show that corn is weedy but improving
in condition rapidly. Oats promises a
large crop, with but little rust. There
is an increase of fax and castor beans.
The fruit crop everywhere is simply inn
mense, excepting apples in few of the
counties. Regarding live stock ship
ments for 1891, there will not be as
many hogs and cattle shipped as last
year, and the falling off of hog ship
ments is especially marked. Some Of
the southern and western counties report
more cattle than last year, and many
counties report the same number as last
year, but generally speaking there will
be fewer shipped, but in better condi-

Electricity on Elevators.

Electrical engineers have devoted con-
siderable attention TO the application of
electricity in hosting machinery, but
the varying speed and load of elevators
have rendered the subject one difficult
of solution. The hosting machinery de-
vised to run by electricity contains
many new and important features COM
mending it to general consideration.
The armature shaft of the motor is con-
nected directly TO the worm gear shaft,
which also acts as a brake and is auto
matically applied when the current is
cut off from the motor, not only over
coming the momentum Of the armature
but holding the car stationary in case
the current should fail through accident
at the generating station or from any
other cause. Perhaps the most impor-
tant feature of the machine Is the con-
troller, which is so arranged that there
Is never any spark on the sliding contact
plates, as when the motor is stopped the
spark is taken up by carbon points

tory to the old counties. The act OF con-
gress calling for such action on the part of
the secretary prescribes that no county
shall have less than 200 square miles. IL
became necessary to add some territory 10
the old counties in order to conform 10 the
law. Only one of the old Oklahoma coun-
ties is materially changed, located IN the
northeast corner of Oklahoma, the terri
tory to be joined on the south, and IN
adding the amount prescribed by law, the
present county seat, Saltwater Is thrown
to the north and SO far from the center or
the county, that it is feared that the con-
ditions may lead TO a county seat war.
The small end of the county is north OF the
Cimarron river and the Saltwater property
holders have been urging most streuuously
that only small amount of the present
territory below be added to the county,
and to have some more added from the
strip on the north when it is opened. This
would throw the big end of the county
north OF the river, in which saltwater
would be located The citizens of the town
urged the present officials of Oklahoma
to join in the fight, but Governor Steele
declined the invitation to interfere. Acting
Secretary Chandler found IL impossible TO
conform with the law and wait for the
strip 20 be opened, aud consequently two
thirds of Payne countyis now south OF the
river. One hundred and thirty seven
petitions have been sent to the secre-
tary by Oklahoma citizens, making yarl-
Gus requests about county lines. The
new territory not attached TO the old
counties has been divided into seven coun-
ties, thus making fifteen counties in the
entire territory of Oklahoma. No ma mes
have been selected, as this will be done by
the citizens and local government. Judge
Chandler said today that very soon, ac-
cording to the requirements of the law. he
would select near the center of each coun-
ty three hundred and twenty acres for
townsite purposes, this 20 be used for
county seat towns. He expects to have
warm time in maintaining his ground on
the order issued today but said: ''As far
as am concerned, not single change
will be made The order has been consld-
cred and is final. We have considered the
interest of the people in general avoiding
personal complications. Understand, we
are threatened with delegations from Ok
lahoma, but you can just state in the State
Capital that they had better save the exs
pense by remaining at home"
The Sac and Fox country is said to be
full of young wild turkeys, just the right
size for fine roast.

Men aud Their Legs.

Men generally cross their legs when there
is least pressure on their minds You will
not very often find a man actually engaged
Ia business with his legs crossed The
limbs at those times are straighter than nc
any other, because the mind and body
work together. A man engaged in audit
ing accounts will seldom cross his legs;
neither will man who is writing an arti-
Gle or who is employed in any manner
where his brain is actively engaged.
When at work in n sitting posture the
limbs naturally extend to the door in q
perfectly straight line. A man may cross
his legs if he Is sitting in an Office chair
discussing some proposition with another
man. but the instant he becomes really ia
earnest and perceives something to be
gained his limbs uncross. he bends forward
toward his neighbor aud begins 20 use bis
hands
But these observations are made OF man.
kind in general There are particular cases
tha3 are otherwise. There are certain men
of distinguished talents who, when en-.
gagged in literary work. twist their legs into
intricate coils One OF the most eminent
dramatists in this country never abandous
himself 10 deep thought without comfort
ing his limbs, which are long and slender,
into kind of angular scrollwork under
the table. Another man, whose poems APP
pear most frequently in the magazines,
seems actually 10 wiring his emotions ont
of his legs, as IL they were sponges sopped
In the divine aiilatus.
However, these are exceptional cases 81
mannerisms by which particular men Of
brains are insensibly affected. Some men
twist their boards when they sre in deep
thought, others scratch their heads alb
stractedly, while others again chew theiI
finger nails. To this absent minded genus
belongs now and then n man who cannot
ponder severely without making bis legS

PROTECTION AND THE MCKINLEY
BILL

The Leavenworth Times seems to ex-
press doubt as to the possibility of find
ing Republican paper that believes in
the principle of protection and yet IS op-
posed to the Mckinley bill. The EAGLE
is cited for the benefit Of our cotempor-
airy, as a brilliant and conspicuous ex.
ample of Just that kind of hair pin.
The EAGLE has always been for protec-
ton as principle, but no paper in the
state, Democratic or Republican, ripped
into the Mckinley aggregation with
more vehemence than did the EAGLE
whose denunciations were copied into
the New York World, the Boston Her
aid, Washington Post and probably other
metropolitan journals.
The EAGLE is for the principle of pro-
lection. from a political standpoint, that is,
as applied to tariffs on foreign products,
not only, but as an economic principle
applicable to foreign emigration and
other political and social problems in
any and every direction that would tend
to increase the measure of wages and en-
nance the price of every conceivable
American product; that is, for protec-
ton to any extent that would not de-
tract from personal responsibility and
Independent manhood, nor threaten pa
ternalism. Protection means opportu-
nifty for development of the thing pro-
tected, and, when laid as tariff, is not
intended to work as a tax or for a rev.
enue primarily so much'as means to a
dominant sovereignty, individual and
social. A trust is a phase of protec-
ton, and so is a ''labor union" Each
seeks through protection to benefit the in
dividual through higher prices or higher
wages. There was a good deal of sport
poked at President Harrison's expression
that ''cheap coat meant cheap man.
But there was sense in it. High pro-
lection means not only high wages but
high prices, while high wages and high
prices always mean prosperity for any
country, without reference to outside
markets. By its wages can the status
of any country be most surely meas
ured. One way to protect and to raise
the wages of this country would be to
prohibit emigration; another, to prohibit
the commodities of other countries
possible of production here. The
low wage-level is what threatens
America today. A protection by tariff
that raises the wage level, therefore,
means a higher standard of living,
which, in turn, means higher civiliza-
ton.
All of this is in a general way of course
The trouble with the Mckinley bill is its
inequalities. The Mckinley bill does not
meet the wants of the purely agricul-
tural states of the west, except probably
California in its fruits.

THE TEXAS ALLIANCE.

The inclination is somewhat general to
rub it in on Texas for ignorance, Demo-
cratic blindness and narrow preiudices,
but the Texas State Alliance showed
both grit and sense in passing resolu-
ton in which they denounce the sub
treasury, the land loan scheme, and gov
ornamental ownership of railroads as in
violation Of the first principles of good
government; as paternal in their char
acter, and as centrahzing in their
tendencies. And the resolution goes on
TO say that if enacted INTO law they
would create a horde of national office
holders that would fasten the clutches of
the party in power upon the Threats of
the people so strongly that the voices of
honest, patriotic citizens would no longer
be heard in the control of governmental
affairs. We demand that those men
who are not farmers be removed from
the national and state offices of our
order, and that none but those who have
an interest in farming be allowed to fill
such places

of money expended in aiding the western
Kansas sufferers. The total amount was
S94, 800, of which $4,000 was for seed
grain. The value of the aid contributed
by the people of the state was $4,000,
and coal to the amount of $4,000 was
furnished from the state coal mines.
The value of the transportation donated
by the railroads was 100000. The con-
tributions from private sources outside

And, in fact, it looks that way. One
wire they have pulled pretty successfully
