More Consolidation.

Says n Chicago dispatch: The craze
for consolidation continues. The billet
manufacturers are working toward that
end. Moore brothers, who secured con-
soiidatlon of the tin-plate mills. have
secured options on the leading billet
plants, and they will be run in close
connection with the tin-plate combina-
ton. as the latter is Il large consumer
of tin-plate bars. Negotiations are pro-
crossing for a consolidation of the
cast-iron pipe manufacture. and the
soil-pipe makers. The latter, however,
Is not progressing rapidly. a movement
looking toward the Capitalization of i
controlling interest of the bridge plants
OF the country. sheet mills. and car
builders has started. Efforts are also
being made to consolidate the upper
leather tanners, but It Is moving ex-
tremely slow.
Five OF the leading tin-plate bar mills,
located at Youngstown. New Castle,
Columbus. and Wheeling, are to 80 into
consolidation. and arrangements are
said 10 have been made with one of the
largest works at Pittsburgh and anoth-
er in the Wheeling district to secure eX-
elusive control Of this industry. This
will render It difficult for outside mills
to get supplies of iin-Dlate bars. It was
an easily financed deal. being subscrib-
ed for several times over. Another
movement looks toward the completion
OF arrangements with the makers OF
tin-plate machinery 10 control their ca
pacity for q considerable period Prices
on tin-plate have advanced twenty-five
cents per box. making fifty cents since
the opening of the year. The price is
now So %, against 50 Go in July This
appreciation IL said TO barely cover the
advance in steel and pig tin.

Many exaggerated statements are in
circulations relative to the very pros
porous year OF the Beilaire Steel Com
pany, the latest being TO the effect that
the company last year cleared the full
amount of the capital stock and paid on
some of the bonds issued to build the
new plant. As matter of fact, 1901 900
in bond were issued. not one of which
has bt--I paid, because they are not due.
and the holders are unwilling to sur
render a good investment. The bonds
bear per cent interest and are held at

KILLING AT OALENA.

A fatal shooting occurred at Ga
lena Tuesday night, Chas. Kings
ton, a hack driver, receiving the fa-
tai wound, which was from pistol
ball from a gun carried by Otis
Gaede. Friends of the parties who
witnessed the shooting claim that
it was accidental. Kingston and
Gaede we're in the electric line wait
ing room at about $50 o'clock and
they engaged in a scufile for the
possession of a gun which Gaede
removed from his pocket. During
the scuffle the gun wac discharged,
the ball entering the fleshy part OF
Kingston's thigh and lodging in
the hip. The wound caused internal
hemorrhage and Kingston never
regained consciousness, expiring
within half hour after receiving
the wound.
Sheriff Sparks was in Galcna and
soon after the shooting placed Gaze
de under arrest. An inquest was
held by justice of the peace and
the result was the holding of Gaede
tor murder.
An attempt was made TO get some
one to swear out warrant charg.
ing Gaede with murder, but no one
seemed to care to assume the re-
sponsibility. However, the sheriff
is still holding him awaiting in
structions from the prosecuting at.

Kingston leaves wife. He was

OUAPAW COUNTY.

The following article, under the
caption of "Quapaw County" ap-
peared last week in the editorial
columns of the Oklahoma State
Capital:
"Over in the northeast corner of
the Indian Territory is county or
ganized as the "Quapaw country"
Delegate Harvey introduced bill
in congress in 1891 attaching this
piece of land to Oklahoma. Moth
ing, however, was done with the
bill. It was conceded then by Ok
lahoma that this land would be a
desirable annexation and no OBJ.
lection was made to it.
"The people of Quapaw country
will make an organized effort in the
last half of this congress and in the
next 10 be attached TO Oklahoma.
There are twenty thousand people
there. The town of Miami has 800
people and Wyandotte 800. Both
are modern, enterprising towns.
The western part of the county is
agricultural-as fine as ever was.
The eastern half 10 mineral land, a
continuance of the Galena lead,
coal and manganese belt. There is
no better lead district in the world.
Then great asphaltum beds exists
and are rapidly being developed.
"Quapaw county" would add
much to the wealth. and 10000 to
the population of Oklahoma. Gen.
orally speaking, it's annexation
would be a good thing. We see no
objections whatever to II. The bill
ought to pass. We believe II will
paes."
The State Capital says the bill
should pass. Why? So Oklahoma
can secure big batch of taxes to
help her outf Because the people
of Oklahoma imagine the people of
the Quapaw Agency are a set of
chumps and don't know exactly
what they want? The State Capital
should not needlessly exert itself.
The bill will not pass-that 10, IL
will not pass IL the people inter-
ested in the Quapaw Agency put
forth the proper effort to defeat the
scheme. Oklahoma's taxes average
from seven to eight per cent, and IL
would be nothing but the rankest
robbery to make people now living
beyond the confines of that tax
ridden country pay q part of her
big debt. But Oklahoma wants the
Quapaw Agency attached to Okla
homa, aud those interested In pre-
venting Il must watch close.

the OALENA COURT.

We are pleased to know that the
sentiment in favor of the establish
ment of court at Galena is grow.
ing. The establishing of a court
at Galena will prove a source of
economy to the taxpayers of Chero'
kee county.
II has often been asserted, but
not denied, and, for that matter,
the records will bear it out, that
the great bulk of court business OF
Cherokee county is from the towns
of Galena and Empire. The mile
age of witnesses and officers from
those two places to Columbus each
term OF court, or three times year,
lie enormous, and has to be paid by
the taxpayers.
Last week we said there would
be no extra expense to the taxpay-
ers in the establishing of cour,
at Galena. We said that off handed,
but events that have transpired
since prove that what we said
about the building Of a court
house was true. The proposition
to establish court of common
pleas at Galena will have to be
voted upon. Then the question OF
a court house comes into consider.
alton. We are informed, and re.
liably, too, that men of Galena who
could build half a dozen court
houses, will deposit with the count,
commissioner a bond that the
court house shall not cost Chero
kee county's taxpayers one cent. In
fact the money is already in sight
to build not only the court house,
but the Jail which will of necessity
have to be built. The judge for
the new court will be paid by the
state, and the clerk will get his pay
out of fees IL the fees amount to
enough. So it will be seen that the
taxpayers will be out nothing,
while on the other hand they will
save thousands of dollars every
year in mileage.

We believe very large proper
ton of the people of Cherokee
county will vote for the establish.
ment of the County High School at
Baxter Springs. and we feel sure
Galena and Empire will give us a
solid vote. Hence we would urge
our people one and all TO work and
vote for the Galena Court. But
while we are electioneering for the
Court let us not forget the High
School. We should go to work
right away and work continuously
until the end is accomplished. We
are now anxiously waiting to hear
from Galena.

most unanimously for the propo-
sitiou, but we want a County High
School established at Baxter
Springs. The law provides for an
institution of this kind In the
county and there is no place as ap-
propriate as Baxter Springs. This

THAT CAKE WALK.

A Crowded House and q Good En-.
tertalnment= Osborn Powell
and Lady Win.
The cake walk given at the city
hall on Tuesday night of this week
was, II possible, more of a success
than the one given the week before.
The hall was crowded to the doors,
aud everybody present enjoyed the
affair to the fullest extent,
Miss Katie Glover presided at the
piano, and Harry Sutton of Paris
led the grand march and the cake
walk.
The participants in the cake trot
were Sam Turner and Leila Glover,
Ed. Boiler and Birdie Cox, Osborn
Powell and Nellie Wheaton, Ben
Turner and May Brown, Frank Hill
aud Myrtle Brown.
Every participant carried out the
part assigned in an artistic manner
and to the delight aud satisfaction
of all.
The contest was decided by vote
and when the ballots were counted
IL was found that Osborn Powell
and Nellie Wheaton had won.
During the walk Miss May Brown
accidentally knocked the prize, a
big three.story cake. over and broke
off the top story aud lot of the
trimmings, but II wasn't damaged
to any great extent.
Cake walks seem to be very pop.
ular this winter. Nearly every ex.
change coming to our table speaks
of them. A good cake walk is away
ahead of a arn-storming show.
