DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.
Col Jordan Here In the Interest OF Ills
Railway

Col Jordan Here In the Interest OF MS
Railway.
J. W. Jordan, Of Cleveland, Ok, is
at the Royal Mr. Jordan is a Chero-
kee and was at one time chief OF the
nation. lie afterwards organized a
colony OF Cherokees and crossing the
Arkansas river into the triangle at the
extreme eastern end of the strl p
known at the hlt-iron country, they
selected land aud began farming.
Again and again did the soldiers at
tempt TO drive them off but they de-
fed the government and began a fght
which resulted in the dnal opening Of
the strip to settlement. The colony
were all allowed to retain their orig
inal farms and it is there that the
town Of Cleveland was founded two
years ago live growing little place.
Mr.. Jordan is now chiefly interested
m promoting the Muskogee and North
western railroad. The charter Of the
road is now before congress, and will
undoubtedly be granted lie has just
returned from trip over the proposed
line, and is very enthusiastic over the
road ana says its plans are extensive.
The road will run from Muskogee up
to Sapulpa and from up the Arkansas
river to c eveland, Pawnee county,
and on to Enid on the Rock Island
road. The idea is to touch the coal
fields and furnish the northwest with
coal. Another branch of the road will
run southwest from Sapulpa, the june.
tion Of the Frisco. The Creek council
realizes the necessity of railroads TO
develop their territory, Mr.. Jordan
says, and will assist the lines of road
all they eau.

BIGGEST DIAMOND.
Looks Like Chunk OF Coal-Worth
About $4,000.


The largest known diamond was re-
Gently found in Brazil. Though so
large, the stone is by no means as yalu-
able as many smaller ones, being
"blaclk diamond" and unsuited for use
as a gem. Says the Engineering and
Mining Journal: The diamond in
question weighs 3,10O carats, and is,
therefore, as we have said above, by
far the largest ever known. The great
Jagersfontain diamond, which was
found in South Africa about two years
ago and which was said to be the
largest known to be in existence up TO
that time, weighed about $40 carats.
The stone mentioned was found in the
carbon district, the old diamond field
of Brazil. It is of the class known as
black diamonds or commercially as
carbon, which are used in diamond
drills and for similar purposes, their
color not adapting them to ornament.
The original finder is, we believe, not
known. At the present time the stone
Is in the hands of the jewelry firm OF
Kahn & Co. of Paris, and the Brazilian
bbNNA hlhNiN 10 h'boNAHNlhh Aol us phl-
chase for the National museum. The
value is placed by experts at between
$4,000 and $4,000. The price paid
for it by the present owners is some
what uncertain, one account putting it
at $4,000. while another said that they
paid 80 shillings pence English) per
carat, which would make the price
$4,000, or not far from its probable
maximum value. There is little doubt
mat it will eventually be placed in the
Brazilian museum, as no private firm
could afford to pay the amount asked by
its present holders, or which would
likely be asked by any commercial
house into whose hands it might pass"

The senate committee on Indian af-
fairs devoted the greater part of their
last meeting TO the consideration of
Senator Pettigrew's (of South Dakota)
bill providing for the assessment of
taxes on lands allotted to indians, the
taxes to be paid by the government.
Senator Pettigrew, in explaining the
reason for this proposed legislation
said that IL Indians living upon lands
in severalty were to enjoy the protec-
tion Of the local laws some one should
bear their proportion Of the expense
entailed in the execution, and stated
that under the terms on which the al
lotments were made the government
was the proper party to do this. He
said the aggregate expense to the gov
ernment for the entire United States
would not exceed 100000 annually.
The committee appeared to be gener
ally favorable to the bill, but It's final
disposition was deferred TO a future
meeting

The pres mt year of grace, 1896, en-
joys the distinction Of being the last
leap year Of the nineteenth century.
The year 1900, which ends the century.
is not a leap year. and consequently
February will not have the twenty
ninth day until 1854.
Many people are mystifed by the
fact that 1900 is not leap year. This
IS because the rule for leap years is
not fully understood. Most .ople as
sume that it happens every fourth
year--reasoning that the revolution Of
the earth around the sun is accom-
plished in 3G5i+ days, and that the
fraction makes jast day every fourth
year
But the time Of the earth's yearly
revolution is not exactly 365 days 6
hours. 1t is 365 days hours As min
utes and 46 go seconds The Grego-
rian rule is, that every common year
which can be exactly divided by fonr,
and every centurial year which can be
exactly divided by 400, are to be leap
years. I'm 400 years there is a differ
ence Of only 30 3s seconds, which only
amounts. to a day in 3, SOC years.
Hence, 1900 is not a leap year. be-
cause IL is not divisible exactly by 400,
while 2ooO will be the next centurial
leap year

that its realisms are Of such an impos-
ing nature that even the pictorial mat
ter used in advertising the play do not
do the piece justice, that the scenes
depicted by the posters are actually so
much more impressive when seen, as
Mr. Carter presents them in the play,
that one must acknowledge that for
once the printers ink has not overdone
things. This, Of course, is a novelty
in theatrical advertising. But we
