Last Saturday Mr.. Kelsey, the Ok.
ford Mill man, sent the Register a
specimen sack Of flour ground from
kafir corn. Having been told that
kaffir meal was equal to buckwheat
timber for breakfast cakes, she who
furnishes the yeast for our ambition
experimental in the line Of fsp-jacKs.
If Mr.. Kelsey has not perpetrated an
unklnd Joke upon US, the pancake
problem is solved. We are prepared
to mount the witness stand under the
most picturesque oath ever applied to
unruly memory, and testify to the
excellence of those cakes. They are
just like buckwheat cakes-and more
too. They have the same pleasant,
sOft-soapy flavor, of a dark, rich, re.
mOrseful brown complexion, as easily
digested as politicians tale of woe
filling, soothing and satisfying. In
short, kafiir cakes are destined to
play an important part In our fodder
bill, hereafter, if continued applica-
tions to the point OF desire are as sat.
isfactOry as the first. Hot-cake
friends are advised to try 'em. Kafir
corn is said to sell at ten cents pei
bushel in the Strip, and if so, cake
timber will sell plentiful and cheap.

Stolen Wheat Recovered.

"D0c" Logan, living seven miles
southeast of the city, had a wagon
loaded with wheat stolen last Satur-
day night. He had been threshing
and just left the wagon standing
loaded in the field. Some one quiet
ly hitched on to the wagon and hauled
it of and now he is looking for that
man.-Monday's Mail.
The secret Of the stealing Of "Doc'
Logan's wheat and wagon. about
which an article appeared in yester-
days Mail, has been discovered.
Yesterday Mr.. Logan appeared in
this city and notified Marshal Shaw
yer Of the theft. Mr.. Shawver at
once began telephoning, telegraph.
ing and writing to the authorities at
all surrounding towns and cities in
the state and In Oklahoma, 10 be on
the lookout for the thief. The day
was spentin a diligent search for the
stolen property and the man who
stole it. Tue search went well until
last evening, when Mr.. Logan caught
sight OF lis wagon on the streets OF
this city. He also recognized the
driver as one OF his hired men and
the wagon was loaded with wheat.
Mr.. Logan hastily inquired where he
got that wagon. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Logan had left the
wag IN standing in the field Saturday
loaded with wheat. The man re-
piled thai he needed the wagon Sun
day, so he had just thrown the wheat
in Mr.. Logan's bin and used the
wagon Sunday. Knowing that Mr.,
Logan wanted some wheat hauled To
market, he had reloaded the wagon
and hauled it to town last evening
only to meet Mr.. Logan here looking
and telegraphing for his stolen wheat
which was then in bis own bin. The
joke was on Mr.. Logan. Such is the
story Of load Of wheat. Mr.. Logan
and Marshal Shaver will now have
quite a time relieving the authorities
all over the country from the request.

The situation in the East is critical.
Japan does not propose to surrender
the advantages she has won, because
Russia demands it; and she is making
preparation to defend herself. She
has at her command, including re-
serves, nearly half million troops
and their fighting qualities have been
tested. A contest between herself
and Russia would seem to be unequal;
but with the United States maintain
ing strict neutrality and with the
hearty sympathy of England, it can
not be said to be hopeless on her part.
