rnr ouRrEM LAW.

The subject Of city curiew regulA-
tions is exciting some discussion among
those who have been giving the mat.
ter some attention II is argued by
many OF the most thoughtful, who
hove been looking into the sabjeet,
that the whole thing is wrong in prin
ciple and cannot be otherwise than in
furious in its results. They contend
that the authority TO regulate the
hours 9f the children at such an age
a. that covered by the eurfew law is
peculiarly that Of the parents. and
that the effect OF the law is TO lessen
the rckpeet Of the child for such par
entail authority. This too, IL is con
tended, At a time in the life Of the
child when II is paramount TO instill
into his youthful mind, through filiAl
Admonitions and advice, respect for
the Law and the principles which are
20 govern his after.liie, and that the
mind OF the boy, SO easily susceptible
Of impressions at that tender age. is
too apt TO grow up a hater OF the law
rather than rzsPecIer OF H. This Is
a subject, however, full Of argument
on both sides.

For Every Tree Cut Two Others Are
Planted
1t will undoubtedly be news to many
that the vast mahogany forests Of
Nicaragua are controlled in Boston,
says the Boston Transcript. The cut
ting ard shipping Of the immense ex-
ports from that country is a great en-
terprise in itself, TO say nothing OF
bringing IL here and manufacturing il
into lumber. One steamer plies regu-
larly between Boston and Central
America engaged in this trade. At
present she is on her way out from
Boston. From 500 900 to 200 600 feet
is her usual cargo. While the steam
er is now on her way to the lumber
ports there are somewhere on the seas,
bound tc Boston, four schooners laden
with mahogany logs. Their cargoes
are about 25O. 600 TO 300 900 feet apiece.
Employed in Nicaragua and the Unit
ed States of Colombia by Mr.. Emory
are from 900 to ] 300 native WorKmen
and lumbermen. These are under
American bosses. The trees from
which mahogany furniture is made
vary in age and size. When cut they
range in age from, 25 to 80 years and
some of them are even ~ vears old.
They average twenty-five inches or
more in diameter and run as large as
forty inches and even more. For every
mahogany tree that is cut two others
are planted and thus the forests are
practically inexhaustible. From the
time that the tree is felled to the hour
that II Is dumped off the steamer at
the Chelsea docks Is an eventful life
for the mahogany log. The tree is cut
into the proper lengths and then comes
the tedious journey to the coast, where
II Is taken on board the vessels bound
for this port. The greater part OF the
cutting is done during the dry season,
which in the United States OF Colom-
bia begins about the lst OF December

raguans. In Nicaragua the season is
more irregular and for numbering is
less 10 be depended upon. After the
tree is cut II is hauled TO the nearest
waterway and RATED to the coast. The
logs are hauled by teams Of oxen from
one to six miles In Nicaragua. but Of
ten the distance is very much greater
the journey sometimes taking two
days. The roads consist OF paths
through the forests that are nothing
more than swamps and morasses
through which the oxen and horses
nounder along. Only animals trained
to this kind OF work would ever make
any progress and American beasts
would wallow about perfectly helpless

The Oklahoma section Of the United
States department OF agriculture gives
the following for the week ending
Monday, August l6, 1897.
Partly cloudy. cooler, showery
weAther has prevailed during the week,
the average temperature T6 O. being
3 I degrees below normal and 3 3 de-
grece cooler than the preceding week.
Rairs have been normal and sufficient
in every section for all growing crops,
and for fall blowing. The rains have
slightly interfered with threshing IN
the noethern sections and have caused
slight shedding OF cotton locally in
eastern sections.
In the southern section the rains
have been light and gentle, and just
right for the cotton plant. In this sec
tion cotton has recovered from the
slight set back OF the preceding week
and is in excellent cordition, the gen
tie rains having started it to growing
without the shedding feared.
only few correspondents note the
appearance OF boll-worms, but they
are few aud have done no damage to
the plant as yet.
Repoit IS from the entire cotton region
in both territories state the condition
OF cotton TO be first class in every re.
spect and the outlook fne for much
greater yield than in former years.
Only two or three reports think it TO
be few DAYS behind the season. The
acreage in Oklahoma is more than
double any previous year.
Kafiir corn, millet, alfalfa, sweet po.
tstoes, and al late crops, have done
we'll during the week. Pastures are
again good and water in plenty.
Ground is in good condition for fall
blowing and this work has been pushed
as rapidly as possible. Altogether
the weather during the week was just
the kind required and grapes, peaches
and melons are being shipped to outer
markets
Peaches and grapes are unusually
large and fine. Hundreds OF bushels
OF peaches in Oklahoma county ar,
goiug to waste.

AN UNLUCKY DAY.

Thursday Of last week was bad
day for Sinner; the town was over
run with fakirs. A very slick
young man carrying small grip
was the first to come along. He
was selling handkerchief. He
would rush into a place and throw
pile Of them down before you and
inquire if you didn't want the lot
for fifty cents, and if you didn't
bite right away he would reach into
the grip and pull out some more
and add them TO the pile. He had
way of counting the handker-
chiefs, counting each one three or
four times, 80 that his victim would
think he was getting rare bargain,
when in reality there would not be
half as many in the pile as the
victim was made to believe. it
was great game. For instance,
he would apparently count out
thirty all in pile and offer the lot
for fifty cents. After the money
was paid over, the pile would be
found to contain about twelve or
fifteen handkerchiefs, by which
time the fakir would be gone, He
would offer, by the way he counted
them, about forty-hve for 81, but
when the buyer counted them he
would find from twenty to twenty
five. The fakir said he was adj
ertisihg Sanger Bros, but in re-
atty he was merely advertising II
big stock Of gall of which he was
the sole proprietor. A fair esti-
mate on his sales here would be
about $35. He hailed from Chicago,
where his class of men are known
as "grafters."
The next arrival was \ big tilthY
looking man in a gig drawn by Il
burro, while another burro was led
behind. He carried a card which
stated that he was deaf and dumb
and half paralyzed. He was on the
plain beg, and soon gathered in
about peck Of nickels, BY and
by it was noticed that he could talk
, to his burros as good as anybody
when he thought no one was near,
telling them to Get around, there.
He could also hear as good as any
, body and was an out and out fraud.
