Pacific Express Company Will Not Do
Business in Indian Territory.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 24.-Bankers and
business men living in the towns in the
Indian territory as well as those living
outside the territory, but doing bust
ness with territorial firms, are greatly
worked up over the condition of affairs
which has made it necessary for the
Pacific Express company to refuse
money shipments either into or out of
the territory. So far as the express
company is concerned, however, they
take a philosophical view of the situa-
ton and not a complaint has been reg
istered.
1.-THE situation in the Indian territory
today" said Superintendent O. w.
Case of the Pacific company, 'is worse
than it ever was. There is absolutely
no protection for life or property
except as we furnish it our.
selves. This continual carrying of
such an armed force makes the business
too expensive to be profitable.
Only One Way to Stop 1t. 49,.
'There is only one way to stop this
lawlessness; that is to make a state out
of the Indian Territory. Of course, if
the federal government would send a
few regiments of soldiers down there,
instead of keeping them in barracks
and in those Eastern military stations,
1t might do some good. A var of ex-
termination such as Governor Critten-
den waged against the James gang in
Missouri is what is needed. This can
only be properly done by admitting the
territory to statehood.
This order Of ours does not greatly
affect St. Louis, as most of the money
is shipped to those banks in the terri
tory from Little Rock or nearer points.
Quite a good deal of money in payment
for goods comes out of the territory by
expires, but this systems can be tempo
rarily changed"
General Superintendent L. A. Fuller
and General Superintendent Peck Of
the Iron Mountain have gone to Wag-
goner and will spend several days in
the territory in an attempt to have the
Cook gang, which perpetrated the last
robbery, captured.
Desperadoes For Notoriety.
The information received here is that
Bill Cook is a young man not yet 20
years of age, and Cherokee Bill his
chief lieutenant, is but IL. Superin-
tendent Case says they are desperadoes
simply for the notoriety, and not for
the money they get. The gang which
effected the robbery at Claremore a
short time ago, was the Means gam
headed by Columbus Means. This is a
bad gang, as is also the Bill Doolan
gang, which is said to have sprung
from the ashes of the Dalton gang.
Superintendent Simpson of the
Wells.F Fargo is now in thh territory,
also looking into the condition of the
country in which his company operates.
1t is stated by some who are familiar
with the situation there that the trouble
is largely due to the character of the
deputy United States marshals. It is
a well known fact that they are largely
recruited from the desperate class and
it is often char ged that they stand in
with the train robbers.

had to form trust and farm the rev.
enues or go out OF business.
To keep them from loss they were
authorized to tax the people five cents
extra for refined sugar and protected
from foreign competition up to that
amount; but they had to protect
themselves from domestic competition
by forming a trust, by making a
selling agreement one with another,
by which the FIVE cents could be col
lected. There was no other way to
get it.
The private sugar trust-or selling

its taxes into the treasury, and not
only recouped these taxes from the
general public, but made enormous
profits from farming the revenues in
addition to the normal profits of re-

The public sugar trust organized Eve
years ago was an attempt by seven OF
| the forty-nine refneries to sell their

for lump sum-sixty million dollars

not in it-are not now in it. But all
the refneries are in the private sugar
trust, including those in the public
sugar trust

creates a public or private trust, that

The objection to the tax on raw

FRESH FARM NOTES.

HAVE you provided for a soiling crop
this summer?
PUMPKINS are an excellent fall and
winter feed for cattle.
IT is probable that the corn pack
will be considerably reduced the pres
ent season.
WITH good management in most
cases two garden crops can be grown
in one season.
IT is reported that negotiations look
ing to revival of the hog pool under
an Anglo-American combination are
under way.
No PLANT on the farm will respond
more rapidly to gosd treatment than
the potato. Clean culture is an abso-
lutte necessity.
THE estimated value of last years
corn crop in this country was 1851, 200,
= 600. The hay was worth $500 600
and the wheat only $4,000, 900.
If it pays to raise turnips in England
as food for sheep, why cannot it be
done in this country, where the farmer
is not burdened with an enormous
rent?
AFTER all the juice has been extract
= ed from the stalks of the sorghum,
the crushed refuse or bagasse, as it is
termed, forms a nutritious food for
cows, by which it is greedily eaten.

THE TRUE SITUATION.
Republicans Lying to Further Their Par
tisan Purposes.

Republicans Lying to Further Their Par
tfsan Purposes.
The republican press takes a special
delight in speaking of Cleveland times.
or democratic times, when referring to
the distressing business depression OF
the past year. Such falsehoods would
be harmless if they were not reeling
with demagogy and intended to de-
ceive people who are not disposed to
think for themselves
The men who try to create these
false impressions are men of good
sense and possessed of sufficient infor-
nation to know that their statements
are false and misleading. and there
fore their assertions are the more cul-
pable and have upon them the stamp OF
malice aforethought in their efforts to
disrupt the business of the country for
partisan purposes
Every republican editor of ordinary
intelligence knows this panic has been
coming on for the last half dozen
years. He knows that during Harri-
sons entire administration times were
gradually getting worse. He knows
also that Reeds billion dollar con-
gress, fragrant in its extravaganza in
spending the peoples money, and the
passage of tariff bill that piled up
| higher duties upon the necessaries OF
life, added a greater burded to the
people for the benefit of the fostered
few. He knows all this had tendency
to make times harder for the masses.
He knows that the same laws exist
now that were in force when Mr.. Har-
| rison went out of office, and he also
knows that there was a damnable con-
| spiracy of the moneyed interests, the
com bines and favored trusts to embar-
| rass Mr.. Cleveland's administra ton
from its very Inauguration, regardless
of its consequences upon the strug-
| Cling masses. Yet he strives to make
| thes same suffering people believe
democratic rule is responsible for the
| deplorable condition of affairs.
| Cleveland is not responsible for the
great depression in Europe, where
business is even worse than here
| Cleveland is not responsible for the
reckless wave of speculation that
swept over this western country a few
years ago, when prices of everything
| got so high above the marginal line OF
| their real value that nearly every man
! who invested became bankrupt.
| There are a hundred and one causes
| that can be assigned for the panic and
| the general business stagnation, not
one of which can be laid at the door OF
| the administration of President C1eve-
| land.
If Harrison had been elected the
| panic would have come with equal
force This every republican editor
and politician in the land well knows
but they haven't the manhood and
honesty to say so.-Kansas City Times

A DECEPTIVE TARGET.

1t Costs the Marksman Something to Learn
Why He Can't Hit the Dangling Ball.
A shooting gallery popularity that
has recently came into popularity con-
sists in very light and fragile ball of
blown glass, or in some cases hollow
egg shell suspended from a string.
This always attracts the inexperienced
marksman, because the natural de-
structivenesS inherent in human ma
ture causes him to prefer to shoot at
something which he can smash rather
than at a target that gets no harm
from his accuracy. Therefore he wastes
his three shots, at one and two-third
cents a shot, not on the targets, but on
the suspended mark. And he never
hits it.
The experienced man in rifie-range
gunnery wastes no time in the deceit
full ball. He knows that it can't be
hit. Probably he knows it from ex-
perience, for it is one of those facts
that no man will believe until he has
tried it for himself. The reason for it
is that very light hollow glass ball,
or blown egg if properly hung on a
slender thread. will dodge any bullet
that ever came from a gun barrel The
air that the bullet piles up in front of
1t blows the light mark out OF the prof.
ectile's path until it has passed, after
which the target swings back to its
original position. This is very provok-
ing for the marksman, who. if he be a
good shot, has the doubtful satisfaction
of seeing his target execute three quick
lodges at the aforementioned price of
one and two-third cents per dodge
There is nothing. however, SO remu-
nerative to the proprietor as these pend
ant marks, for the gunners, provoked
at their lack of success, will keep on
and on trying to hit mark compared
to which pin head would be a barn
door shot, and they only give it up in
disgust when the cost begins to tell
upon them or when some wiser friend
explains their lack of success Two
dollars is cheap price to pay for the
knowledge that one of these hanging
targets is a better mark for a baseball
than for a bullet.-N- Y. Sun

Loousts for Fence Posts.

There is no timber that grows more
= quickly, and few that are better for
making fence posts, than the common
locust. If cut in winter, new sprouts
will come from the root, and the sec
-ond growth will be more rapid than
the first, as it will have a larger sys-
tenn of feeding roots to begin with. We
know good farmers who grow their
own fence posts, devoting a small
= corner of their farm for this purpose,
. and it saves them in money more than
they make from most cultivated parts
of their farm, and at less expense.
There is no getting along without
some kind of fencing, and locust posts,
home grown, make the basis on which
wire fencing of the various kinds may
4 be strung. The loeusts should not be
grown near cultivated ground, as in
blowing their roots will be torn. and
they will send up sprouts that Will
make trouble in keeping down.-Rural

FARM ACCIDENTS.
What to Do When a Veterinary Surgeon
Cannot Be Secured.

What to Do When Veterinary Surgeon
Cannot Be Secured.
While it Is as desirable to employ q
veterina,s surgeon in cases of severe
sickness or dangerous injuries as it is
to employ the family physician at
times, it is well to know what to do in
emergency cases. when something
must be done in less time than it
would take to get the regular doctor
to the spot. says a correspondent of
the American Cultivator.
One OF these cases is that of choking,
which frequently happens when roots
are fed without having been cut If
the obstruction is not large and has
passed well down, it is often possible
to move it further along by gently
pushing down with a stick. A whip
handle rounded little at the end is a
good instrument for this purpose. One
person should hold the animals head,
SO as to bring the mouth and throat in
a straight line, and another should
use the stick, and at the same time
work upon the obstruction from the
outside, rubbing it downward. Push
firmly but gently upon the stick.
Another method is to put a stick
| about as large as ones wrist across the
tie it fast SO as to oblige it to keep the
mouth open. This will sometimes
| cause coughing, SO that the obstruc-
| ton will be thrown up, or will facili-
tate breathing until mucous enough
has gathered around it so that it will
pass downward. If the obstruction is
not far down, the animals mouth may
| be kept open by horse shoe, or by
blocks between the jaws. and one with
a small hand can reach down and with
draw it. Unless something is done
| soon the animal must choke to death,
| and time is of more Importance than
skill.
Cuts that cause profuse bleeding are
another sort of cases that need at
tention before a surgeon can be Sc
| cured. If the blood comes in jets at
about the interval of heart beat, it is
from a artery. and tight bandage be-
| tween the wound and body should be
applied. then a stout stick placed be-
| low and twisted until the blood flows
| but slowly. If the one who put it on
knows enough of the course of the ar
| teries to bring the knot directly over
| it, it will hasten matters, and this
should be part of the education of a
| farmer.
If the blood flows in a continuous
stream put a wide bandage directly
over the wound to keep the edges to-
gether, drawing it tightly as can be
done with the hands. A handful OF
cotton, or even of green grass, under
the bandage will assist, or one may
hold the edges of the wound together
while another goes for a doctor. We
have seen horses life saved in this
way when the leg was badly cut by
the moving machine, and a mans life
saved by the first method when bull
let had cut the artery of the arm above
the elbow. In neither case could a
surgeon have been brought in season.
