Some most astonishing facts, have
been brought to light in the Jewish
world, concerning the number of Jew
ish suicides in the United States. It
appears that in 113 days no fewer than
668 Jews out of 400. 900 killed them
selves. In England the proportion
averages eight in 100000. In Russia
2.7. In Austria sixteen in 100. 600. No
reason Is suggested for Jews in a free
country wishing to make away with
themselves at such a rate.

Quiries Answered

On account of the great demand q
for copies of yesterdays paper
containing the following editorla
we republish it today and prin
extra copies:
The Express is constantly get
! ting letters of inquiry about this
country, and asking all kinds of
questions, as "Will you kindly
inform me if there is any Indian
lands to be leased cheap for stock
raising, or any other land. "
Another asks about mining.
Another wants to know about
town property, titles, etc. The
questions are pretty tough, and
we were unable to answer, but we
answered so far as able.
Grazing lands may be had here
at easonable terms. The grasses
are the finest that grow, being
mostly mesquite and gramma, uT-
on which stock subsist the year
r)und. without other feed, although
it is always provident to supply
feed for extraordinary weather,
and extreme cases.
Land can not be bought here at
any price, but can be lease1 for
farming at about the same rates
demanded in the states, one-third
of the crop, or case rent 81 to
So per acre. The reason no land
can be bought is that the whole of
the Chickasaw nation land belongs
TO the tribe of Indians in common,
md cannot be sold at any price.
This condition will be overcome in
1 few years. The land will be
livided among the Indians and !
hen they will be allowed to sell a
portion of it, and after q time to
,ell another portion, and so on
Until all can be sold expect 100
lcres each which can't be sold
Until after 81 years.
In the Kiowa and Comanche
eservation no lands can be
,ought, but these lands are now
,eing allotted to the Indians, and
he remainder, after the Indians
,et their portion will be open for
White settlement. This will prof.
bly, be secured by running for
as in Oklahoma. There will be
bout,2, 600, 900 acres of this land.
his will require a five years res
lence an it to secure a title. A
ood deal of this land is now leas-
4 by the Indians to farmers and
le remainder is leased as grazing
Inds by the government, but
either will probably lease again
ntil after the opening, which will
ome early in next year.
