WHEAT PROSPECTUS ARE aooD
Predictions of = Prominent Grain Man Of
Andale.

D. c. Harper and John Price. both Of
Andale, were in the city yesterday. hav-
ing come in on important business. Incl
dentally an Eagle reporter learned that
Mr.. Price is a candidate for postmaster
at Andale, and has excellent recommen-
dations. Mr.. Harper in conversation said
he never saw a finer prospect for wheat
in his long residence in this valley. The
ground is thoroughly soaked by the rains
and SHOWS of the winter, and the staple
cereal has secured stool-roots that will
give it momentum or boost that will
carry it through. Andale. Colwich and
Mount Hope are in the wheat belt, and
the fauners-many Of them Germans
pride themselves on their ability and the
soils fertility to produce wheat. They
are as proud of their resources as the
Mennonites who make wheat a speciality
in the northern part Of the state. Mr..
Harper is a grain man and a ciose OBJ
server, and not a few will be interested
in his favorable predictions.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE FISK FAVORITES.

In the same marked degree that any
musician leads in their special line so
do the Fish entertainers lead in theirs.
1t has been truthfully said that when a
nation is smothered and down-trodden
that it comes springing up with peculiar
music and the colored race today has
demonstrated that this is true. Their
sweet singing has a wierd melody that
not only charms in its finished harmony
but has an originally that come alone
from the colored people. The Fisk sing
ers today is the perfected outgrowth Of
twenty-five years of patient, persever-
ing singing. Not person in the COM
pany but has peculiar talents fitting
them for their original place in the
troupe. and with blending voices they
sing pleasing songs that touch the heart
like no other singers have ever done.
If you want a good laugh come pre-
pared. for you will laugh. Laugh fol-
lows tears, just as sunshine follows the
clouds. and these people bring both. for
they will sing Push dem Clouds

Two important officers have been ap-

Has Been With the Fifth L. S. Infantry

Payment Mining Prospects in the
Saddle Mountains.

john Wesley Pullen and wife were In
the city yesterday. They came from An
adarko, /. T.. and are en- route TO the
Cherokee country to secure the payment
due Mrs Pullen, VINO is a Cherokee In
dian. Her husband is OF African descent
but is as bright as a new silver dollar.
He has been a trusted man with Major
Baldwin OF the Fifth United States in
fantry for long time, and his education
al polish as linguist entertains the boys.
He speaks German fiuently, having stud
led It in the high school in Topeka, from
which he graduated. Since his location
among the Kiowds, Comanches and
Apaches he has acquired their lingo with
the accuracy OF born linguist. He is
not only apt in mastering languages but
has studied the Indian character until he
knows how TO proceed with them in any
emergency called forth by the service.
Pullen's wife is a Cherokee, and there is
due her from the second payment of the
Strip money $50 acres of land and about
$40 in money. They are now going to
the Cherokee nation 10 secure Mrs. Pull
lens tribal dover. When the payments
were made some three years ago many
Cherokees by technically were left out
and these are now being paid off by the
government.
incidentally Mr.. Pullen told an Eagle
reporter that Major Baldwin has fifty
two Indians in his employ, twenty-four
of them being scouts. These scouts are
the most faithful servants OF the major
and the government, as they ferret out
hunt down and bring TO justice the vic
ious elements among their own people,
and do it with severity that white
scouts would not adopt.
Pulen called attention to the late ex-
element in the gold mines of Saddle
mountains, or rather just east of the
mountains, on the Kiowa, Comanche and
Apache reservation. A number Of pro-
fessional prospectors slipped into the new
gold fields and before the governmental
authorities got information regarding
them they had down shafts and were lift
ing ore IN old Colorado style. From one
shaft they secured ore that assayed $1,000
to the ton. In god. The Fifth regiment
went after the intruders and gave them
the quickstep walk-out, but wherever
there is gold in the earth men will go re-
gardless Of meets, bounds. treaties and
stipulations. The removal of the pros
peotors, therefore, may be only prelude
to rush Of miners to the new gold fields
east Of the Saddle mountains, which Is
sixty miles southwest OF Anadarko.

At go East Douglas avenue the black
board shows increased interest in the
coming prize fight. Bets are placed at
odds of $40 TO IS in favor of Corbett. AL
though the interest increases, the bets
are rot large, for the reason that sport

people. All agree that ii will be the
most scientific prize fight Of the century,
as both men are trim-limbed and active.

given 20 Corbett on a technicality, but
