SUMMER WALKS.
The Nest Inviting TIme 10 inauige
la StrnII la the Early
Morning.

The ideal season for summer walks
is early in the morning or after sunset
during the long twilight.. The average
housekeeper in the country is too busy
for country walks, and therefore misses
much of the stimulus which her city
cousin receives from her study of ma
ture aud natures WY during the short
vacation she takes in the country.
There is general impression that the
only time to en- Joy nature is during the
summer season.Z The average dweller
by meadow and lakeside looks upon
winter walks as somewhat eccentric.

FARMERS PASS RESOLUTIONS
At Ell Reno Concerning Recent Tax
LEGISLATION

FL Reno, o. T., May SpeciaL)-The
Canadian County Farmers association
held a meeting at the court house last
Saturday and among the other business
transacted passed resolutions, in part as
follows:
Resolved, That as taxpayers of Ca
madam county we condemn in unmeasured
terms the action of the last legislature in
passing the bill pertaining to the taxes in
the countries attached to the several
counties Of this territory for judicial pur-
poses, depriving the said counties Of these
just taxes, and we desire to call the es-
pecial attention of our brother farmers
in the districts interested to their rep
resentatives in the lower house. in con-
nection with this bill mentioned above.
Resolved, That we appreciate the
faithful and honest efforts of Senator G..
w. BeIlamy and Senator Biddison in lead
ing the fight against the bill, and also of
Senators Garrison and Winkler for their
honest votes against the bill.
Resolved, That we commend Speaker
T. R. Reid for voting against said bill;
also the earnest efforts of Representative
Hadley though the bill was passed when
he was engaged in other Iaudable business
in favor of the taxpayers of Canadian
county; and be it further
Resolved, That We earnestly commend
and appreciate the efforts of our efficient
county attorney, Charles Carswell, as
well as the honorable board of county
commissioners in behalf of the overbur-
dened taxpayers of the county"

POOR SHOW FOR AN ELECTION
Only One Candidate at saltwater
Presents a Valid Certificate.

Guthrie, o. T, May 1.-(Special)-Th
Saltwater Gazette says: THE town cleo
tion which was billed to come off here
next Tuesday is likely to be a farce and
q failure, on account of the failure Of
the candidates to get their names and
petitions properly filed in time. The law
concerning elections requires that all GER
ti1cates OF nominations and petitions Of
candidates must be filed wit hthe clerk
not less than fifteen days before election
day and that names Of petitioners shall
be counted only upon one petition for a
single Office. That is, when a voter signs
half a dozen different petitions for the
same Office his name shal mot be count
ed as one of the petitioners. Half a
dozen candidates for marshal had their
petitions filed in time and nearly as
many independent candidates were for
police judge. An examination Of all the
petitions revealed the fact that with one
excepton-that of Frank Harding for po-
9ice judge-there was not a single petition
for a town Office which had the requisite
number OF signers when the duplicate
names had been stricken off. A conven-
Hion was called for Monday evening. April
II, and at that time full citizens ticket
was placed in the field The convention,
however, was held two days late and the
city clerk refused TO place the names
hpon the ballot Mandamus proceedings

1T SPOlLS THE INDIANS
To 60 Back East and star With Wild
West shows.

FL Reno, o. T.. May 1-(Special)-
Treasurer Krause, Of the Pawnee Bill
wild west show, made another raid on
the Cheyenne camps in this and King
fisher counties yesterday, and induced
about twenty more Cheyennes 10 leave
their homes for a life of ease which is
warranted to last for the period of six
months. Major Woodson is still absent
from the agency and is ignorant of what
is going on among his wards. An edu-
Gated Indian CArapahoe) who took an
outing a few years ago told the Eagle
correspondent that It does the Indians no
good TO so with shows of this kind. They
lose all love for home and kindred and it
makes them take kindly again to the
blanket and gee" string. When he re-
turned to his allotment he was so lazy
that he had no desire to again follow
farming. All he wanted to do was to
parade around with a painted face and
gaudy blanket. like he did when he was
posing before the Indian-l0vers back
east. About forty Indians with their
families are now with Pawnee Bill. They
will return in the fan with their money
all gone. and the chances are that their
relatives and kind old Uncle Samuel will
have TO support them until they can raise
a crop.

insurgents by the United States govern
ment. 1t is realized now more strongly
than at any other time, that the capacity
of the Fflipinos for self-government is an
undetermined question. The United States
government is willing to accord the natives
an opportunity to test their abilities, for
the Philippines commission proposes to al
low them almost complete control of their
local affairs, exercising only such super
vision through the United States military
as may be necessary TO guard against the
consequences of mistake on the part of
the native municipal and provisional Off
Gals on their first experiment at self
government. The experiment is already
in progress at some points in the Philip
pines, outside the island of Luzon, where
the United States authorities nave hoisted
the fiaf1g and assumed sovereignty, yet
have continued the local governments IN
der native direction. So far as the reports
indicate, these experiments are working
well and promise TO have a good influence
in shaping the attitude toward the United
States of a considerable element aiming the
Filipinos which has been suspicious of our
intentions.
