Next L. :, Court Term.

Among the men who will be tried
at the next term of the United States

had never seen him. IL was not until at
ter the trial that it was learned Oleson
had gone to the Jail the day before court
convened and talked with Mattox over an
hour. In the jury room Oleson refused to
argue the case in any way simply voting
for acquittal every time against the CLEVER
men Oh the other side. The matter was
brought to the notice of the judge and he
bound Oleson over for appearance under
$500 bond.

A FEED MILL FOR BAXTER.

II. w. Smith, the wide awake and
enterprising -Ermotor wind mill
agent, has leased ground from G. w.
Daniels on South Military street and
is erecting thereon custom feed mill.
He proposes to run it ON the old sys.

A mill of this kind has long been
needed in this place and we predict
liberal patronage for the enterprise
from the farmers and stock feeders of
this vicinity.
Mr.. Smith will erect 16-foot Er-

expects to have it ready for operation
in ten days or two weeks.

lust ONE CORRECT.

at the instigation of Capt. Bob Nc
Gregor and few others q trial Of the
new Australian ballot law which goes
into effect in Kansas at the coming
general election WAS made at the re-
publican primary held in Spgingvalley
township last Monday. Ballots were
prepared for the primary conforming
10 the law es nearly rs practicable
and voters were instructed as to the
manner of voting, bur when the bal.
lots were counted out by the judges it
was discovered that just one ticket in
the whole lot was correctly marked so
as 10 be strictly in accordance with
the law. Hence if this had been a
regular election and the law followed
to the letter but one ballot could have
been legally counted and the remain
der would have been thrown out. OF
course you want to know who the
person is who was correctly "onto the
racket" and knew how b. mark his
ballot. 1t is scarcely necessary to say
that it was the ever watchfUl Colonel
Alexander Warner. Col. Warner
hasn't been in Kansas a great while,
but he keeps posted and was present
when that blarsted ballot law was
passed by the last legislature, and
wen bet copper cent to a $ 10 silver
certificate that there wasn't law
passed by that body which Col. War
ner did not thoroughly understand.
Even Capt. Bob McGregor made sew
eral mistakes in preparing his ballot
at the primary. And SO it will be at
the coming election. Mistakes will
he in the majority and the Introduction
of the Australian ballot law in Kan
sas, as concocted by the populist legis-
lature last winter, will result in the
smallest count of votes (not the small
est vote, but the smallest actual county
in the state for many years, on account
of the number of ballots being thrown
out by reason of being incorrectly
marked.
As no one received majority of
the votes cast for the office OF trus-
tee the election for township officers
was postponed or recalled for next
Tuesday.

AN OLD BAXTER BOY FIRST.

In its account of the grand rush for
homes in the Cherokee Strip, Sundays
Kansas City Journal says "Carl Craig
of Guthrie reached the land Office first
and filed at IL 80 O'clock" Carl made
the run from the southern boundary
of the Strip to the town site of Perry,
got onto lot and then rushed to the
land office and filed. Carl is an old
Baxter boy, having gone to Guthrie q
short time after Oklahoma opened
with his parents, DR.. and Mrs. j. NJ.
Craig. Carl evidently knew what he
wanted and lost no time in getting 1t.
He kept up Baxter's record of always
getting to the front first.

From the above notice it will BE-
seen that an effort will be made 10 seii
the surplus lands of the Miami and
Peoria tribes. Under provision of
the allotment law this can he done and
should he done. AS long as any of the
surplus land ia left there will be
trouble and dissatisfaction. The tim
Der on the tmbered lands has already
been cut off and destroyed Some OF
the members of the tribes wish for
division pro rata, but this cannot be
done without some action of congress.
But the lands eau be sold and will
bring fair price. About 5000 acres
of this land lies on the east side OF
Spring river, and now while there ia
some excitement over the finding OF
lead in large quantities there is the time
to sell. There are about 1900 acres Of
surplus lands belonging to both tribes.
About half of it is prairie land and
the other half timber land.
Some action should be taken by the
Joint council to sell the lands, which
can be done with the consent OF the
president of the United States. Then
the people will get their money and
all trouble and dispute over it will be
ended.
No other disposition Of the lands
can be made, as they cannot be leased
without joint action of the United Pc
orias and Miamis, and the Peorias
have no chief as section 43 of the Ok
lahoma bill made them citizens of the
United States. Sell the surplus-it is
the only way and is best for all.
