Public Lands in Oklahom..

4 careful investigation of the public
records d~iscloses the fact that there are
yet several millions of acres of public
lands in Oklahoma yet subject to home
stead entry and esttlement.
1t has generally been understood that
all the lands in Oklahoma fit for agri-
cultural purposes are already occupied,
but such is not the fact. Owing to the
method adopted for the opening of these
lands to settlement, in many cases as
high as five or six persons would settle
on a single track on the day of the race,
and rather than stand the expense of 4
contest. or run the risk Of other trou-
Bile, would, unknown to each other,
abandon the land. Again, the main
race for lands a. those openings was for
tracts near the cities or proposed town
sites and along the lines of railroads,
and thus many hundreds of almost
equally as good farms as are in Okla
hcma were pasesd over in tie mad rush
for homes.
It is true that a large portion of the
vet unclaimed public lands are more fit
for stock-raising than for agricultural
purposes; yet there are still hundreds of
good homes awaiting the taking in that
country and undoubtedly a large num-
Der of eastern people will take advan-
tage Of the same the coming season.

household Marketing.

In the matter of purchasing food. the
~housekeeper must use good Judgment,
going to market and not trusting the
selection OF her meats and vegetables
to an ignorant order boy. A little ex-
perience will enable one to learn to
know the best cuts OF meats, and if the
marketman sees that his customer
knows what she wants, and that she
will not be satisfied with inferior
meats. he will serve her with the uest.
1t is generally economical to buy the
highest grades Of groceries and meats,
rs the best goes further and is more
readily susceptible to changes and va

DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP. /.
New Organization Which Proposes to

A noteworthy and most commendable
project was launched last night al
Music hall by the leaders of the for

Canization for the Americanizing of
these peoples. The movement was sug-
gested to DR.. S. Il. Fineberg, Edmund

while engaged III lecturing to them dur
ing the last campaign. They found,
they say. lamentable lack of knowl
e0gS, even among the naturalZed con-
patriots of American institutions and
of the true obligations of citizenship.
They then resolved to form some plan
for ameliorating this deplorable condi-
ton. and last night saw their first step
in this direction.
They sent out Invitations to the rec
ognized leaders of the different races

READY SALE FOR BONDS.
County Floats Its 100000 Issue Without
Trouble at q Handsome Premium.
Five Proposals We're Received.

The sale of the county bonds by the
commissioners yesterday was a striking
instance of the beneficent result of Nc
Kinley's election. Before election they
could not get a taker: yesterday there
were plenty of bidders, and the premi-
um received was the highest ever Of
fered for bonds since the county was es-
tablished.
The issue is to be to the amount of
10000. The bonds will bear interest at
per cent and are to be redeemed in
500 goo lots. beginning in 1906 and con-
tinung yearly for five years until all
are redeemed. They are payable in
currency" On Oct. 1, when the first
attempt was made to float the bonds
there was not single bidder. Propo-
sitions of various sorts We're received.
but no one made an out and out offer to
take the bonds.
One firm of bankers would agree to
take them If the rate Of interest was
increased. Another was willing to
take them at par. Another offered to
dispose Of them on commission. 9th
ers communicated that they would bid
on the bonds If the commissioners
would stipulatc that the redemption
could be considered. so the commission
ers decided to reject them all and re-
advertise.
Yesterday at noon the responses to the
second advertisement We're opened and
five good proposals. without Ifs and
andS, We're disclosed. The Lampecht
Bros. Co., of Cleveland, o., was the
best bidder of the five and was award
ed the whole block. The premium this
company offers is 7-lO or 5000 on the
thousand, the highest premium ever
received for I.ackawanna county bonds.
Representatives of the other bidders
requested the commissioners to notify
them in case the Cleveland firm should
default. They would take the bonds.
they said. and would make satisfac-
tory offer.
While the advertisement specifies

will exceed that figure by possibly $20.-
