There are about as many men get of
the trains at Guthrie now, as there are
people on the platform to receive them.
Mr.. Sid Clarke's opinion-no territorial
organization has ever met or can possibly
handle the grave question now pending In
Oklahoma.
It is good thing that heavy rain storm
last Tuesday night came when IL did. Ii
it had been four months later, it would
have been snow storm.
Oklahoma Times-Journal: The peanut
crop of this county is of more Importance
than most people imagine. One dealer
alone in this city sold. seed nuts enough to
plant 200 acres. Other dealers in the city
probably sold as many, aud the farmers
had some seed saved from the crop of last
year. There must be in the neighborhood
OF 500 acres in the county. Peanuts often
yield 200 bushels to the acre, but estimat-
ing yield of only 100 bushels the crop of
the county will reach $1,000 bushels. The
price will not fall below 80 cents.
Beaver City Tribune: Beaver leads in
all things. Last week one of the drivers
on the mail and stage route from here TO
Meade, Kan, had to go on an extra trip in
a different direction, a driver could not be

go. A daughter of the proprietor came to
the rescue, mounted the box, took the
reins in hand and delivered the mail safely
and securely on time. Be it understood
that this young lady is intelligent, edu-
Gated and refined, is secretary of the Meth

Undoubtedly very few people know that
there is a law prohibiting any person from
hiring another to go into any of the Indian
lands and take claim for him. Such is,
however, the case and unless number of
people materially change their plans they
will be caught in bad box. The law in
question is section "a OF the act organiza-
ing the territory of Oklahoma passed May
2 1890. We give it in full:
SEC. a. That it shall be unlawful for
any person, for himself or any company.
association or corporation, to directly or
indirectly procure any person to settle any
land open to settlement in the territory of
Oklahoma, with intent thereafter of ac-
curing title thereto; and any title thus ac-
quired shall be void; and the parties to
such fraudulent settlement shall severally
be found guilty of a misdemeanor, and
shall be punished upon Indictment, by i'm

Minco Minstrel: 1t is only a few wears
since they were on the warpath habitually,
the widest and the most barbarous of the
Indian tribes; and now they are the first
to be forced into the white mans method
of living. The plan is placidly agreed to
by the wise theorists with the most aston
ishing confidence that these wild barbara
ans of the plains will at once conform to
the harassing environments of civilization
"a thing that has failed with their more
fortunately situated red brethren in the
course of three hundred years experiment.
1t is hard to predict what will become of
them, but a conservative prophecy might
say that they will remain as near together
as possible with a number of allotments
held as a reduced reservation, practice
their songs and lamentations, and eat gov
eminent beef and flour until the treaty
supply is gone. Then the Cheyenne will
either start on a numbering tour and des-
perate run for the plains of the far north,
err he will sink into such abject misery
that this government will once more as
sign them to a separate reservation in
some corner of the earth and feed him for
over. Time alone can tell.
