Only Il portion of the crust was used
in the analysis. which accounts for the
discrepancy in the total. The mctcorite
was found in November, 1857. by one
Jacob Snyder. about IL foot below the
ground. while digging To plant an APP
pie tree near lis house, five miles to The
southeast of Gettysburg Mr.. Snyder
and hissneighbors jumped To the con
clusion that there was an iron mine ON
the farm and his property rose tre-
mcndously in value. Had he been any
kind of a scientist he could easily have
determined the nature of his find and
then have exploited the value of his
mine. sold his property for big sum
and cleared out pending the mining ar
engagements. AS it was, the tIue char
acter of the mcteorite was not discov-
cred until 1891.
Its three largest dimensions are II, 81
and So inches, and itweighs SIT pounds.
An effort was made to buy it by the
National museum, but as Mr.. Snyder
placed the price very high it was event

OUR SISTER coMMoNwEAL1E:

The first run for Oklahoma in 1890
landed 81, S31 people on her lands and on
her townsites. according to the census
taken after. The enumeration made last
year showed population of 1873, leo, or
that in two years or less her inhabitants
had more than doubled. The strip will
compose about one-third of the new or
enlarged Oklahoma. Yesterday added
one hundred thousand additional citizens,
SO that today Oklahoma probably has
census of quarter of million of people.
Nothing like it was ever witnessed or
will ever be seen again. It is the settle
ment of the last great body Of agricultur-
al lands left within the borders of the
United State, or on the continent discov-
cred by Columbus. 1t has taken four
forty odd states of the Union. Oklahoma
was practically settled in two half days
and so far as the requisite number of
people is concerned is ready for statehood
tomorrow.
1t will be said that too many people
have gone there; that there will be
much disappointment, loss of health
and money; that much of the land is
worthless; that thousands of peoDle who
go to the towns VIII suffer, and SO on.
In fact, many papers are saying just
these things. But they forget, or, other
wise, don't know, that the ''per capiter"
in new civilizations takes on lively gait
in circulating, and that everything has
to be done and that everything must be
paid for. Not a dollar is boarded. Con-
there will be little or no suf
ferins in Oklahoma until after every
thing has been done and people have
settled down, and it VIII be from two to
five years before it can be determined
the matter was overdone.
Oklahoma is like South Kansas, very
much, in climate, in soil and In every
as much alike as northern
Kansas and southern Nebraska Okla
homa and South Kansas are sisters,
whose future destines will be very
closely linked.
