The manufacturers take the pomade
and mix it with oil. and from this the
perfumers make the extracts which
we use on our handkerchiefs. From
the extracts cologne, Florida water
and such things are made.
The remains Of the oil and flower
leaves from the watts after pressing are
bottled, and when boiled AMI filtered
are used TO perfume soap.
Some flowers make better perfumes
than others because their scent is more
readily absorbed by the oils. The
magnolia blossom, for instance, in
spite Of its delightful fragrance, has
been the despair of perfumers because
they can find no way to make their
ungents retain its subtle scent.
The use of perfumes is a very an
cient one; the oldest nations OF whom
we have any records seem TO have
liked them. They were prescribed as
medicine by the ancient physicians.
That they do have an influence on the
health there can be no doubt, for 1t IS
a matter of history that after the Glove
trees in the island of Ternate were de-
stroyed by the Dutch the colony SUI
fered from epidemics never experience
ed in that place before. In times when
plaques, such as cholera, have prevail
ed in the great cities of the old world,
those EMPLOYED in the perfumer's trade
almost entirely escaped the disease.

asked if the provisional army Of

June % orders were given to re-

tration officials denied it was their
intention to continue recruiting

mum strength of 100. 900 men.

dence that preparations were being
made to continue the recruiting

law was armed and ready to go to

istration asserted vigorously that
there was no intention of enlisting
more than ten regiments. Gen.

foundation for the story.
The fact is, it has been the in
tention of the administration to
recruit the army of 100000 men

firmed this tonight, and, while

INTERESTING QUESTION.
WHAT CONSTITUTES .slMPROVED
PROPERTYP'
The Decision q Matter of Greatest Ia
terest Throughout the Territory
CHARGES Have Been Preferred at
the Indian Office Against Agent
Paliock of OsaRe Agency.
Special to the Ardmoreite.


Washington. D c., Aug, IA, 1899
A question of the greatest moment
to the people of the Indian Territory
has been laid before the Secretary of
the Interior for a decision. 1t re-
lates to the payment for what is
known as Improved property" in
the Territory. Under the Curtis law
all improved property is to be paid
for at one half of the appraised value
the owners of unimproved property
must pay the full value decided by
the townsite boards. The question
at issue is as to what is improved
property. Many wealthy men of
Ardmore, South McAlester, Wagon
er, Muskogee and other cities have
constructed houses upon sites cover
ing several acres of land. The
houses themselves are located upon
a single lot, but barns, sheds. chick
en- coops and other out-buildings and
gardens extend over a number of
acres. 1t is contended by these
parties that the lots on which tenn
porary buildings have been con-
structed, and which are being used
for vegetable gardens, etc, come
within the improved" clause and
that they, therefore, are not subject
to payment for the property at it's
assessed value.
In Muskogee, Creek Nation, John
R. Thomas. one of the Federal judg-
es, has taken large tract of land
covering several acres within the
city limits. His house is constructed
on two lots and on portion of the
remainder are chicken coops, barns,
and out-buildings, while the other
portion is devoted to vegetable and
flower gardens. Like mauy other
all of his property comes within the
improved" clause of the Curtis law
and he. therefore, will only be SUBJ
ject to payment for his property at
one half of the appraised value. The
same is true of Mr.. Porter, one of
the largest property owners of Mus
kogee. These two cases have been
referred to the Secretary of the In
terror for an opinion, the Indian
Office holding that temporary out
buildings, gardens, etc., do not con-
stitute permanent improvements
and insisting that in all cases of this
kind the owner shall be compelled
to pay the full assessed valuation.
The Secretary's decision is looked
for with the greatest interest, as it
will apply equally to all the other
property in the territory. 1t is ex-
pected that as soon as his decision
is reached directions will be prepar-
ed specifically designating what shall
be considered as improved proper
ty." The question will probably be
disposed of within the next week.
