A CORRECTION.

HEADQUARTERS KINGF1sHER Posi-
No. 2, G. A. R., DEPT. OKLAHOMA.
KNGFIsHER, Sept. II, 1891.
An article published on the first page
of your issue of this morning dated
Dover. o. T., Sept. II, headed "a Free
Fight" an injustice is done to every old
soldier and Grand Army man IN this
section, and we ask that theimpressions
which that article intend to convey may
be corrected.
First The article says it was free
fight-when in all probability the par
Elephants of that so-called free fight will
discover before the affair is settled that
it was the most expensive free gift enter
prise they ever engaged in.
Second. That is was a reunion of the
Grand Army men. The truth is that the
Grand Army had nothing to do with it..
It was reunion of the soldiers of the
late war regardless of the Grand Army.
Third. And three colorsd comrades
were fatally cut and twenty others
both white and black, were more
or less seriously injured. The
three colored men were slightly wound
ed and one white man had finger cut.
That is complete list of the killed and
wounded at the battle of Dover. And,
further, there was not a soldier, white
or black, in any way engaged in the
affair.
With these corrections your published
account of the trouble is correct. 1t was
simply an affair between some cowboys
and some colored men, of which the
soldiers were ignorant and in no way
responsible for or in any way en-
gagged in.
By publishing our side of the story
you will confer favor on every soldier
in this county, and correct wrong inn
preston which your published article
conveys. Yours respectfully,
D. F. WYATT, Post Commander.

The farmers are advised and readvised

THE AMERICAN HOG.

The raising of the embargo on the
American hog by the German govern
ment, which is to be followed in short
time by the other European govern
ments that have excluded it for years,
invests the hog question with special in
terest to the agricultural community.
In fact, next to wheat the hog is the
most potential factor in the food supply
problem. Secretary Rusk, whose cease
less and well-planned efforts have re-
suited so auspiciously for the American
farmer. when asked day or two ago
what the removal of the restrictions will
be worth to the producers of this coun-
try, replied that "any opinion expressed
would be only surmise. 1t is possible,
however to give some figures which are
approximate on the subject, and also
very impressive.
"In 1881 the exports of hog products
from this country reached high-water
mark. That year the rest of the world
bought of this country pork in various
forms to the amount of sos, 900, 900.
Then began the restriction policy. 1t was
taken up by one country after another.
The hog exports of the United States
fell off rapidly. The drop in five years
was to S57, 900, 900. And this was not
withstanding the fact that trade was
pushed out in new directions. In the
effort to make up for the loss through
the DEGREES of half a dozen European
countries the exports were increased
somewhat from the minimum in 1885,
but the 100000, 900 mark has not yet
been reached. With the removal of the
restrictions the exports of hog products
will go upward with long jump. The
course of the trade under the influence
of the DEGREES and the efforts IN new
directions is traced in an interesting
way by the bureau of statistics. The
figures represent the total exports of hog
products from this country TO the IT st Of
The world for the wears given:

hands of the farmers or spectators, and
as far as the consumers are concerned
touching the price, it is no
difference who holds it, whether the far
mers or the Spectators, though in re-
gard to the general business and trade Of
the country it makes considerable differ
ence. If the wheat goes into the hands
of the spectators now the advance when
it comes will simply contribute to their
enrichment; but if the farmers by hold
ing their wheat for time receive the
advance in price they will have just that
much more money to expend for what
they may need, the volume of currency
and of trade will be extended proper
tionally and everybody will receive some
of the benefits.

The most appalling news of the whole
sale loss of life by food comes from
Spain. The number lostis put at 1000
more than the fatalities of great battle,
yet the statement of the food disaster
is read with little concern at this dis
lance, except by the fatalist, who re-
CARDS it as SO much positive proof of the
correctness of his theory, that such in
cidents are divinely ordered to prevent
an undue increase in population; that
the increase in population is so much
every year, and in the absence of war,
that famine, pestilence, or some physical
disaster, is necessary and is sure to ensue.
There s'one point of argument in favor
of that theory that seems to be unget-
overable, and that is these last named
catastrophe are not the direct result of
human agency, and therefore unavoid-
able.

Since 1888 the hog product expor-

consisted almost entirely of lard.
The analysis of the 6guros Of hog pro-

than they would be but for the restric-
tons imposed BY the various foreign

The receipts of cattle at the Chicago
stock yards Monday were $4,000 head,
the largest on record. The increased re-
ceipts are accounted for in part by the
late order removing all cattle from the
forbidden lands in the Indian Territory.
This cannot but have depressing effect
upon the market temporarily, but the
reaction will run prices as far the other
way when it comes, and It must come
ere long. This flooding of the market
will necessarily deplete the general
stock to some extent, and such depletion
cannot be made good in month or six
months.

Germany lnauguTated the prohIbluve
measures against the American hog in
1880, but the first decree only applied to
salt meats. Bacon and ham were ex-
empted, but in 1889 the Bundesrath de-
creed against the American hog in all
forms except lard. Other countries fol-
lowed. Germany even forbade trans
portation Of the American hog products
through her territory. The partial re-
covery in the last two years of the lost
hog trade is accounted for in large part
by the vigorous action of this govern
ment in the way Of meat inspection.

Germany is shown by the following fig

CALAMITY GRANNIES,

There seems all the while an effort up

draw class lines and TO array peoples of
the same common country against each
other. This doctrine is covertly but so
preSistently inculcated that many people
of the country begin to look upon people
of the town with distrust if not dislike,
when the vast majority of all the promi-
nent factors of every city and of every

Human Discomfort.

From the Boston Post.
A rich man of Boston has one son. he
led him about: be instructed him as the
apple of his eye. The son became OF age
this summer. The father has no other
occupation save that Of nursing hls IN
come. and as he is a man of sense and
liberal views he told his son that he must
not stand idle, yet left to him the choice
of business or profession. At the same
time he wrote privately to twenty four
friends and acquaintance, asking their
advice in the matter. The twenty four
were prominent each in his own calling.
And each replied in turn, complaining
of his own business, and advising the
father to seek elsewhere for the future
prosperity of the young man. The law
was crowded. journalism brought but
little money; banking was an uncertain
prop, and so on throughout the cata-
fogue. The father is still undecided;
the bov is idle. And all because no one
of the twenty-four is contented with his
lot, while he admires the fortunes OF
other men.
