The interest in allotment should
not decrease on account of the
absence of the commission.
Neither should the failure Of the
full-bloods to support the candi-
date of the progressive party dam
pen the ardor Of those who believe
in a broader citizenship. The
fight is on and must stay until one
side or the other is whipped and
the end Of the struggle reached
No great achievement was accom-
plished in a day and many a vic
tory was won under apparent de-
feat. The commission will return
with new instructions and if the
allotment party holds out firm and
aggressive until that time the
obstreperous full-blood will prob
ably weaken. .-Pawhuska News.

The State Board of Health has issued
an important circular urging that mans
be taken to prevent the spread of con
sumption The disease, says the circular,
is communicable, and for the most part
in one way. The germs are expectorated
by patient. When the expectoration
dries, these germs are liberated, are
blown about as dust, and enter the lungs
of others, where if there is any predispo-
sition to consumption, they set up in
business at once. This is almost the only
way that the fell disease is communicated
and the plain precaution to be observed
is that no person, known to be suffering
from consumption should be allowed to
expectorate on the streets, or in public
places, or in any place where danger may
result to others,

There is Still Some Falling Oa
Reported.
The results of the Assessors work re,
ported during the past week are similar
to those spoken of last week. There is al
most everywhere marked falling of in
the number of sheep and horses, and
and more especially in the valua-
tion of those two classes of animals.
There seems to be about the same amount
of cattle, and the values are practically
the same. In many instances, as will be
seen from the tables below, the number
and value of hogs have increased, show
ing that the high prices for pork which
have prevailed during the past year have
stimulated this industry. Bethesda pre-
cinct of Goshen township, shows an in
crease of $500. The Assessor of precinct
No. 8, Richland township, has not report
ed his work.
