COLOREO FOLKS AT LANGSTON
EIated Over the Br ght Prospects OF
Their school

Guthrie. o. T., March 5.-Considerable
citation Is felt among the colored popula-
ton Of Oklahoma who have the interests
Of the Langston university at heart over
the prospect Of the early passage Of the
Dill in congress legalizing the legislative
appropriation Of $15,O00 from the Morrill,
fund. The bill is intended to Iegalize sec
ton of council bill No 2f5 passed by
the last oklahoma legislature. the title
of the bill being; An act making appro-
priations for erecting, maintaining and
supporting the educational institutions of
Oklahoma for the years 1899 and 1900"
It appears that there had accumulated
s15.o10 of the Morrill, fund which was
uneXpended by tht saltwater Agricultural
college. and the legislature of Oklahoma
decided TO establish another branch agri-
cultural college at Langston, for colored
students. After appropriating $4,000 for
the erection Of an additional building for
the white school at the tome provided for

the erection Of building for colored stu
dents ana appropriated the unexpended
balance to the credit of the Morrill, fund
and in the hands of the territory, as fol-
lows: Sec 5. For the further support
of the university at Langston there is
hereby appropriated out Of the Morrill,
fund to the credit of the agricultural and
mechanical college at Saltwater, on the
5th Of November, 1885, the sum Of $1,000.
Under the existing law the interior de-
partment decided that the territory Of
Oklahoma had no authority to deviate
this $4,000 already accumulated, to this
colored school, but have held that the
proportion to BE- thereafter divided comes
within the provisions of the existing law.
The committee on territories, to which
the bill legalizing the appropriation was
referred, reported that the bill was prop
er and recommended its passage
Prof Inman Page. president Of Lang
ston university, In support Of the justice
Of the measure, laid before the committee
on territories the following facts:
1.-The legislative act met with no op-
position The board Of regents and
faculty Of the Saltwater college, whose
treasurer holds the accumulated Morrill,
fund. desired that the $4,000 come to the
Langston university.
''2-On account Of the act the tax fund
and general appropriation were cut down
$1,000 on the supposition that Langston
university would receive that amount
from the Morrill, fund.
"3-The regents proceeded upon that
supposition and expended the general
appropriation of $4,000 in the erection Of
buildings and now have a fine mechani-
cal and industrial building ready for use.
1.-THE failure to get the $4,000 leaves
the school without facilities; no machin-
cry for mechanical and industrial work;
no equipment for farm work, although
we have a good farm we have not one
head Of stock. plow or other machinery
to work it: no chemical laboratory; no in
strunents for the mathematical depart
ment; no charts or maps. and not book
in the library"

MARSHAL Is OMITTED
From Mayor Berkey's Call
for City Election.
LAWS MEANING DISPUTED
Case May Be Brought Into
Court on MandamuS.

Guthrie, o. r., March 5.-The failure Of
Mayor Ben Berkey to include the Office
of city marshal in his call for the election
Of city officers next month has created
circles and it is not unlikely that man
damus proceeding will be brought to COM
pei the mayor to include the office in his
call. The present incumbent Of the city
marshals office was appointed by the
city council several weeks ago to fill out
the unexpired term of Paul Shoner de-
ceased, and 1t is Mayor Berkey's conten-
ton that this "unexpired term" does not
terminate until April, 1901. The law In
regard to the matter" said Mayor Berkey
States that when a vacancy occurs 1t
must be filed by the city council, and
that the person so chosen shall I'LL out
the unexpired term. Under my interpre-
.tation of the law it makes no difference
whether or not an election occurs during
the period Of an uneXDired term. The
journal will show that Henry Reynolds
was chosen TO fill out such a term, or I'M
til April, 1901, by the city council. Some
people say they will get me into trouble
in regard to the matter and that they will
sue for writ of mandamus to compel
me to call an election for city marshal.
l am sorry that the law is so ambiguous
and am willing that the courts shall pass
upon it, as they have done to settle other
such matters
Good lawyers of this city who have
been consulted aver that there is no legal
grounds for Mayor Berkeys position and
assert that, without regard to the ex-
preston -unexpired term" the law of the
territory plainly contemplates the filling
OF any vacancy in office, at the next gen.

OurTucrease of Insanity.

Much discussion has been aroused lately
by the alarming increase of insanity. Our
high rate of living is the cause assigned.
In the rush for money both men and
women neglect their bodies until the
breakdown comes. The best way to pre-
serve health is by a faithful use of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. By curing all
stomach ills, this remedy prevents nerv-
Gus breakdown. 1t is also an excellent
medicine for constipation, dyspepsia and
biiousness.
