Special Correspof dence Of The Evening Star.
INDEPENDENCE. Kan, August s, 1899.
The United States court of the northern
district of the Indian territory is probably
the only travelling court, including the court
room and all persons and things connected,
in existence in the United States. United
States Commissioner Harry Jennings,
United States Marshel L. E. Bennett and
corps of assistants haye adopted this novel
plan of travelling over the district and hold
ing court at several different places instead
of at one place in the district as heretofore
The northern district of the Indian territory
Is large and the towns are far apart, so that
it is very hard for persons to travel to and
from to attend court, as well as expensive
Commissioner Jennings has had a small
house built on wheels, much resembling a
movers outfit, in which they travel. and
also In which they hold court in the various
towns over the district They carry cook
ing utensils with them and have an expert
cook, who prepares their meals. and also a
servant, who keeps their house in order
fhey go from place to place wherever they
are wanted and they claim that they have
saved the people considerable money, as it
Is much less expensive for the court to
travel than for the people to travel in that
country. Criminals can be reached more
conveniently in this manner, as 1t Is often
dangerous to conduct criminals from town
to town without a heavy guard, as their al
lies may attempt to rescue them. rhe t-av-
cling court of the Indian territory Is 4 Sic
cess, and the people of that district are well
pleased with it.

Cooperative Town in Kansas Which
Seems to BE a Success.

Cooperative Town in Kansas which
Seems to BE n Success.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
INDEPENDENCE, Kan, August, :. 1899
The little town of Morehead, in the very
northwest corner Of Labette county. is
probably the only town in the United States
that Is run on a cooperative plan to any
extent This little town has a population
OF about five or six hundred people and has
adopted cooperative methods almost ex-
ciusiyeiy. 1t is situated on the Santa Fe
railroad between here and Kansas City.
and IS about thirty miles north of here
1t is in the heart of a great agricultural
section and the cooperative idea has been
EXTENDED INTO the country, where several
farms are run on the cooperative basis
The farmers raise their crops and divide
up, so that If one farmer has poor crops
he need not suffer total loss, as he would
do otherwise. The cooperative methods
that have been adopted so far have proven
a success and more enterprises are con-
stantly being put under this method of
doing business. At present the town has
cooperative hotel, a cooperative laun-
dry, cooperative hall, a cooperative
creamery, a cooperative canning factory
ana cooperative dining hall has just been
put In operation where several families
perhaps two dozen, take their meals ANY
body who is member of the company can
get their meals at reduced rate there and
many Farmers have become members SO
tnat they can get good square meal at
very low price when they come to town
on Saturday. A cooperative housekeeping
movement is to be started soon, which, to-
gether with the dining hall already in
operation, will do away with the hired girl
problem. An experienced manager over
sees each common enterprise and renders
ms account at the end of each month, and
the expenses are divided up among the
members of the cooperative society. The
town is prospecting and many new houses
are going up. Other enterprises will be put
on cooperative basis at once, and it is
intended soon to have all the cooking and
other work done in common, and such
town as Edward Bellamy pictures in Look
ing Backward win In all probability be
realized here. as that Is the intention of
the people of Morehead
