WASHINGTON special: The net cash
IN the Treasury was $i27, l6..524. of
which S56,94S. ;124 represented the gold
reserve. The reserve has been stead
lily climbing upward the past month.
On August $ it reached the lowest
point in the record of the department.,
o...ls9, 800. Since then it has increased
almost $4,000. 900, and the increase has
largely allayed the fears of the Treas-
increased over 81. 100, OO0. The in
crease is accounted for by the sur.rend-
er of gold voluntarily by banks and its
exchange for small notes. The bal
ance of the increase is due to the pup
chase of bullion. The large increase
in the output of gold in Colorado and
Montana piles up the gold reservc as
it finds it way directly to the assay Off
cials of the Government.
WASHINGTON special: Gen. Arms
strong, Assistant Commissioner of In
dian affairs, speaking on the changes
i'll the location of United States troops
and the abandonment of several mill
tary posts in the west, says it will
have no effect whatever upon the In
dians. "'Therc will be no outbreaks
as the result of the changes" he said,
las there are still plenty of troops
easily accessible to any possible point
of danger. The fact is, there is little
danger of Indian troubles now. There
is more danger from %anarchisty in
Chicago than from all the Indians in
the west. With the present railroad
facilities troops can he transported
from large posts more quickly than
they can march from any of the little
posts which were abandoned"

Good for Nothing but Fodder.
d. G. Allen, who lives nine 1nilee
northeast of M~ellette, has succeeded
In producing q new kind of corn which
is good for nothing but fodder, but as
q fodder crop it has no superior. About
three years ago Mr.. Allen found q
m%onstrosity growing in his field. He
guarded it and when it ripened te
saved the seed. Last year he planted
1t and the seed grew remarkably we'll,
but as the stocks grew many Of them
''sported" to corn, although raising
no ears. This placed the origin OF the
freak of nature beyond a doubt as be-
ing u ''sport' of corn. This year Mr..
Allen planted about a quarter of an
acre. The stalks are about two-thirds
the size of corn stalks, heavily leaved,
and grow to a height of three feet.
In place OF an Il a shoot is thrown
sembles u grown cat tail, and in place
of a tassel there is IL bushy growth full
ly eighteen inches in length. which
looks like oat husks and blue joint
grass, together by the stems.
The pods, or Oat husks, in the tassel,
are about one inch in length and each
contains only n bcrry-the seed-
which is red when ripe and resembles
O kernel of popcorn. This year MIR.
Allen cut about half of his crop of fod-
der, allowing the balance to ripen for
seed. After curing that which he cut
1t weighed q tritie over LOO pounds:
This would make u yield nearly seven
tons to the acre. Mr.. Allen planted
the seeds this year eighteen inches
apart each way, and the foliage is SO
heavy that the field appears to be one
solid mat of growth, standing about
three feet in height. The introduce
ton of this fodder will revolutionize
stock raising in the northwest. and
will undoubtedly be the means of
c%heapening the price of stock as we'll
as feed.

SUMMARY

ENID. Oklahoma. special: The first
anniversary of the opening of the
Cherokee strip was celebrated. The
feature of the occasion was an exact
representation of the original race for
the townsite, the prize to the winner
being Il lot valued ut So. 200. Fifteen
Thousand people participated in the
race, but the real contest was between
1000 horsemen. including Indians and
cowboys. 1t was the most wonderful
race with systematic entries ON record.
The prize lot was reached simultan-
eously by u Cheyenne Indian and q
Kansas cowboy named Parker. These
two will ride the same horses again
for the purpose of deciding the race
and, as the distance is four miles, it
promises to be very exciting. The In-
dians and cowboys have taken sides
and, as they are traditional enemies,
trouble is feared in case any dispute
arises.
