Honest worth soon wears

You never give up a tried

its worth.
There is nothing that is

in than gloves. There is but
one test and that is the wear

glove that has not only stood
the wearing test, but fits per-

and correct in shape, that is the
glove that you will always wear.
The great success of the Mag

New YORK, Sept. 19-The Post says:
''The most significant. perhaps, of all
the incidents of the week, in its
bearing upon prices, both here and
in Europe, is the breaking down of
the last obstacle placed by the Bank of
England in the way of our import of
gold. This mornings cables brought
news of heavy engagements of the prec-
ious metal in London, the total engage
ments in that city publicly announced
now footing up 81 1.25O,00 with probably
as much more privately contracted for,
but not yet made public. According to
the dispatches most of this gold is Amer
jean coin, the drop in exchange yester-
day being fufficient to meet the premium
imposed by the English bank. 1t is not
easy to onjecture where the movement will
stop, for the heavy purchases of our Sc
curities by Londoners during the present
week have upset most of the previous
calculations. 1t is interesting to recall
now the predictions of wiseacres three
months ago. that the Englishmen would
prevent gold imports from that city by
selling American securities 70 settle trade
debts"
NEW YORK, Sept 19.-The exports of
specie from the port of New York last
week amounted TO 1919, 720. of which
Sl05,00S was in gold and S4l4,7l2 in sill
yer. The imports of specie amounted to
81. 5s5. .443, of which s., ,5S4, 1923 was in gold;
so, go in silver.

SPECULATORS WARNED.

WASHINGTON, Sept Information has
reached the interior department that spec
ulators are preparing to use powers of at
| torney, obtained from a very large num-
Der of eX-soldiers to file declaratory state
ments, under section 1904 of the Revised
Statutes, on the lands to be opened TO set
tlement by the presidents proclamation,
without any bona fde intention on the
part of the soldiers TO become permanent
settlers. Acting upon this information,
Commissioner Carter, in a letter of in
structions to the registers and receivers of
the land Offices to which this new country
is attached, declares:
ANY such proceedings will be fraudu-
lent, and you will ehdeavor to defeat them,
if attempted, by any means properly j..
your power. You will advise bona fide
settlers not to purchase relinQulshments
of such filings when IT, appears that they
are not made with the intention of follow
ing them up by settlement in good faith
under the law"
1t is stated atthe general land Office that
their information Is TO the effect that un
scrupulOus persons have purchased from
thousands of old soldiers in different parts
OF the country for a small consideration
usually So powers of attorney to enter in
their name these Oklahoma lands
In most of these cases the soldier has no

the soldier entry is filed In these cases
the actual settler. particularly if he is not
approached until he has expended a sum
of money in improvements, would be WILL
ing to pay something $50 ro S100-to
have the cloud removed. But for the
prompt action of the interior department
officials, the revenues of so-called attorneys
from this source would undoubtedly have
been large.

AMucH-MARRIen elRl

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-Miss Gertrude Whit
ing Potter, daughter of o W. Potter, the
millionaire president of the Illinois Steel
company, was married today, at the resi-
dence of her parents in the Virginia
apartment house, to Julius Clarke Dan
iels of New York city. The groom is a
son of George II. Daniels, the general
passenger and ticket agent of the New
York Central railroad.
Miss Potter was clandestinely married
in June last to Z. Lee Rust, son of
William Rust, the millionaire lumberman
of Eau Claire, Wis A few days ago she
was secretly granted a divorce on the
ground that young Rust w2s = minor:
that the ceremony was performed without
the consent Of his parents, and that the
contracting parties had never lived to-
gether as husband and wife. After her
marriage to young Rust he accompanied
her and her mother on tour Of Europe,
and Mrs. Potter did not know that they
were married until arter their return to
America.
Previously Miss Potter had fallen in
love with and became engaged to a news
boy. This was broken off, however, when
the newsboy was sent to prison for bur-
glary. The newsboy is now out OF the
penitentiary, and claims that his arrest
was part of conspiracy to prevent his
marriage TO Miss Potter An authorized
statement, made for the family this after
noon, adds a heretofore unknown feature
to the affair.
The statement says that on December
81, 1889, Julius Clark Daniels secured from
the county clerk of Cook county license
to himself under the name of Julius
Clarke" and TO Gertrude Whiting Potter
under the name of Gertrude Whiting" to
marry. Acting under that license, Julius
Clark Daniels and Gertrude Whiting
Potter were married on January !, 1890 by
Rev. X. A. John. The parties continued
thereafter to live at their respective homes.
Miss Potter submitted to
legal council the question ofthe validity of
her marriage with Daniels, and was ad-
vised and believed that such marriage was
invalid
How Miss Potter was married to young
Rust and divorced from him is related as
above and, finally, the statement con-
cludes with: mo actual necessity existed
for any decree Of the court annulling the
marriage, which was in fact void, but the
same was secured for the reason that the
interests Of ali concerned made it proper
under the circumstances stated"

snatch to the Daily Eagle.

Special Dispatch TO the Daily Eagle
GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept 19-The excite
ment grows apace. Hundreds are now
standing in line in front of the land Office
awaiting their turn to file Every con-
veyance and horse is engaged TO take the
boomer to the new lands. Hundreds are
coming hourly The hotels and eating
houses are taxed to their utmost to feed
the throng. "Soonersn are declared
against on all sides, and there is no doubt
that times for them will be very tough.
Threats are being made to mob those in
line at the land Office waiting to file.
Governor Steele stated this afternoon that
he would do all in his power to punish
anyone found with even bottle of whisky
in his pocket. Quantities of liquor have
gone over to the new country, and people
are leaving in crowds for the line. 1t is
evident that liquor will flow freely, and
people will, in consequence, act rashly. A
man just in from the reservation says that
he saw 200 boomers cross the Iowa line.
No liquor can be taken in or sold in the
Indian country. The deputy United
States marshals have been instructed by
United States Marshal Grimes to arrest all
parties found with liquor on their persons.
Hon. William Greiffenstein has been in
the city today. Many of our leading citi-
zens think that Burnett will be the town
yet. Kansas City, Mo-, is not a county
seat, but Independenceis. The county seat
never made Wichita. The change in the
location of the counry seat of Pottawsto-
mie county by the secretary does not neces-
sarily permanently locate it, 1t is located
in one Of the most undesirable points of
the PottawAtomie country, with no water
and no bottom land Time will show that
Burnett will be the town.
A grand reception was given Right Rev.
TheO Meerscheart, the new Catholic bishop
of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory,
yesterday afternoon ia McKinnon's opera
house. The house was filled to overflow
ing. Governor Steele presided and Mayor
Spengel welcomed the bishop with a we'll
timed address. Judge Green also made an
address. The bishop replied feelingly and
made good impression upon all.

can be selected there This work is in
progress and will be completed no doubt
by Tuesday. The Indians have also to be
considered and their patents issued These
have been forwarded when required, and
the lists of allotmeGts in all cases ap-
proved. The military will still have au-
thority to protect these allotments and
will remain for that purpose. 1t was also
necessary to put the opening far enough
ahead to notify the troops along the bor-
der Of the day and hour they could let the
people enter. There are no railroads there
for the most part and it therefore takes
time to do this 1t is highly desirable that
the settlers should fully understand the
absolute necessity of guiding themselves
by the lists of vacant lands sent out. They
should not attempt to enter without the
list. The chances viii be almost even for
a fatal mistake The lands have been at
tached to the various offices at Guthrie
and Oklahoma City. 1t has not been
deemed best 10 suspend this action in or
der TO defeat fraudulent soldiers declar-
atory entries as it would also necessarily
defeat some claims made by old soldiers in
good faith. 1t is better the law should
take its course than it should be inter-
fered by executive action. Fraud can be
better dealt with by other means than
through actual injustice practiced toward
the innocent TO defeat the guilty"

VERA AVA

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 19-Peter W,
jackson, a lawyer, of Fresno, asserts that he
knows Miss Vera Ava WELL and that his
relstives In England live on an estate ad-
joining that of her father. He says that
she came to this country in 1887 with her
brother and spent some time in California.
jackson has no doubt that the Vera Ava
in Cincinnati and the English woman
whom he knows are one and the same.
Two friends who came with Jackson from
England expressed the same opinion, al
though none of them have seen Miss Ava
for years. Her father, they say, was a
wealthy man. Mr.. Bevering, one of the
gentlemen in question. says that when
Miss Vera and her brother came to Cali
fornia they spent some time in Pomona,
and it was always the belief of Bevering
and his friends that her brother was the
author of the famous Ahrchison letter,
which appeared in the campaign of 1888,
and resulted ultimately in the recall of
Lord Sackville West, the English minister
to this country.

that territory:
You are instructed that the words

the proclamation of the president on the

laws of the United States. without
regard 10 color may make such settle
ment. These Indians have sold all their
interest, right, title and claim to the
United States, and captious and uncon-
stitutional construction can not be assert

qualified persons, without distinction Of
color or other conditions than those ap-
plicable to other public land, save as to the
prices specified. The president concurs in
this construction of the law and these in
