MANY NEW BRIDGES.


Ninety-fi i've new bridges will be built
along the Oklahoma division OF the
Santa Fe this year, the total cost OF
which will be $780, 600. A number OF
these will tie small and will be used
over low places where the emoank-
ments were formally liable TO be wash
ed away. In addition TO the building
of the new bridges s3s, 900 will be used
in raising the track in places and put
ting it in good condition. When all OF
these improvements have been com
pleted the Oklahoma division will be
one of the best of the system.
There is also a rumor to the effect
that the entire southern division will
soon begin to have rock ballast The

Lockout In Full Force.
TO BRING SOLDIERS HOME
Movement started That Would Apportion
the Cost of Transporting the Twentieth
Kansas Among Various Towns.

Kansas City, Kan, July IA move
ment has been started in this city to
have the people of the state raise money
to bring the members of the Twen-
tieth Kansas regiment from San Fran
cisco in special trains free to the sol
diers, thus enabling them to save the
travel pay allowed them by the United
States government. The plan pro-
posed is similar to that adopted
by PENNSYLVANIA and Nebraska,
both of which states propose to do
likewise with their troops who saw
service in the Philippines. Sidney IL.
Whisner, secretary of the Kansas City
committee has formulated the plan and
it has been approved by Kansas City,
Kan, people. His plan gives every
city in the state share in the honor
of honoring the brave boys of the
Twentieth Kansas. lie has taken a
list of all the cities of the state of 900
or more population and apportioned to
them an amount proportionate to their
relative population. Thus almost every
city and town will be called upon for a
share.

FOR OUR BOYS TO REMEMBER.

There is lots more courage in being
whipped by a larger boy than yourself
in a good cause than there is in whip
ping a little fellow. 1t marks the diff
ference between a boy and bully.
Don't kick your dog because you
know he will forgive you. A boy that
takes q mean advantage of a dogs coed
nature is never the kind of fellow
TO take on a camping trip.
One good turn deserves another. but
1t generally brings a good many Daore
than one. A good turn is always good
investment-cheap,s safe. and pays the
biggest dividends OF any stock in the
market. II you don't believe it, just
buy few shares.
Boys will be boys" is a mighty poor
excuse for any act that is unworthy OF
a boy. Boys will be men is what should
be borne in mind, and if they are man.
ly boys they will be brave, generous
gentlemen, and there's only one thing
better-a true Rentlewoman.-N. Y.

wEATHER-cRoP BULLETIN.

Last weeks crop report of the de-
partment of agriculture for Oklahoma
tells the old story OF prosperity over
again. There has been no rain thus
far during the present week, and the
farmers have taken advantage of the
favorable weather to carry on their
harvesting.
OF the wheat, the bulletin says:
Wheat hps ripened rather slowly,
harvesting was stopped two days last
week by rain and wet ground, but
since Saturday this work has been
pushed with the utmost vigor. In the
south wheat is nearly all in the shock;
elsewhere the harvest is not so far ad-
yanced; but by the end of the present
week nearly all will be cot. Through.
out Oklahoma the crop is generally up
to the average in quantity and the quail
ity is almost perfect. In the Indian
Territory, however, the crop while
better than was expected, is below
normal in quantity.
Corn is reported to have made an ex.
selleut growth Oat harvesting has
begun in the south and reports gener.
ally indicate fair to large crop. Gra.
pes, plums and peaches have made a
rapid growth, and early peaches and
plums are ripening. Tue yield ol
peaches is larger than was expected
and an unusually large yield of grapes
seems assured.
Cotton hasnot as yet begun to make
rapid or even normal growth; por
tion of the late planting is not vet
chopped out; early cotton is branching
but very little has as yet shown any
bloom.
kaffir corn, castor beans, millet and
potatoes have done well. Grass cor
tinues in almost perfect condition.

OKLAHOMA GETS MORE LAND.

special dispatch from Guthrie,
says: W. A. Richardson, assistant
commissioner of public lands at Wash
ington, ID. c., has made an interesting
decision when affects the uses to
which lands in the territory can be
pat.
About year ago School Land Com
missioner Charles Ii. Filson selected
nearly $4,000 acres of land in Greer
county TO supply deficiencies in lands
declared by congress 10 be for the use
of Oklahoma after it's admission as a
state. Under congressional act, sec
tlons IL and SO in every county are re-
served for school purposes, and sections
l3 and 33 for general uses, which NAV
be determined by the state legislature
at some future time. The Red river,
howing at the southern boundery of
Greer county, cuts into some of the
townships and causes a, deficiency in
the section reserved for school pur-
poses.
An act of january, 1896, provides for
indemnity for deficiencies in sections
l3 and 33, where the lands so acquired
have been occupied by actual settlers
prior to March 10, 1896. Where they
have not been so occupied, they are
not eligible for occupation as indemni-
ty lands. So far as is known the law
was tested for the first time when Mr..
Filson asked decision recently.
lin all Mr.. Filson selected 4S, 10
acres, 1881 for sections 10 and 80, and
@0,7l3. 10 for sections l6 and sc. OF the
lands for school purposes, the commits
sioner denied $3.50 acres, that amount
OF property failing to fulfill the re-
quirements of the law.

Sick people frequently have strange
desires for foods. One man suffered SO
from gastralgia that he was on the
verge Of death through starvation. The
smallest quantity of food caused ex-
treme suffering and all methods of
treatment failed. Suddenly he ex-
pressed desire for onions, which he
detested when in good health. He was
finally given few onions and no bad
results followed. For three weeks
onions were the only food that passed
his lips and he got well.
