INDIAN TERRITORY LAND.
Whites Soon Will be Able to
Purchase Tracts.

"The time is coming when che
white man can go into lthe Indian
Territory and purchase land upon
which to build a home, " said In-
spector Wright, who represents
che interior department il its
dealing with the FIVE civilized
tribes, this evening
"At present tkere are only two
small towns in which land can be
purchased from the Indians.
These lands can only be sold in
town site lots. 1t is impossible to
purchase farm land from the In
dians. There is a great deal Of
business being done in the Indian
Territory by white persons, but
the land upon which their build
ings are located is owned by the
Indians, to whom the merchants
pay rent.
"An agreement has been reached
however. that will make it possi-
bic, for the white men to purchase
land. After all the land has been
appraised by the Dawes commits
sion, it will be allotted to the In
dians, each one getting bic share.
ritle will then pass to the Indians
as individuals. They will be able
to sell a portich OF the land out
right and the purchaser will re-
ceive a clear title to the property.
A certain amount, however, must
be retained by each Indian as a
homestead. The rest of the land
be can dispose Of to whomever be
pleases.
at will take a long while for
this land to be appraised and the
allotments made, but eventually
the white men will be allowed to

INTERESTING FACTS
 ABOUT MANDARINS

From the Philadelphia North American.
 Mandarins are as thick in China as hon. orables in Washington or colonels in Ken lucky. ePople who read about Mandarns are apt to gain an exaggerated idea of the position which they occupy in Chinese of ficialdom. The attributes of the ayera ge Mandarin make him fit material for comic opera composition.
 The importance and salary of the Man darin depends largely upon his ability to peculate dextereusly. He reduces to a sci ence the art of minimizing the amount of public funds that escape his greedy fing- CTS.
 Practically every civil servant of the Chi nese government is a Mandarin. His salary may approximate $5 a month, but he is a Mandarin just the same The S5 Mandarins are usually petty officials who have just passed their first examinations and secured admission to the ninth or lowest, class of the government employees. Providing he is not fndecently voracious he rises through the succeeding classes until he reaches the sixth division. Then he commences to be a person of some importance.
 Mandarins of the sixth class are civil magistrates. to be obeyed and respected ac- cordingly Plaintiffs and defendants seek his good offices. It is to their interest He wears a pure white quartz button. The higher the Mandarin the more valuable the button
 By making punishments fit crimes on a Strlcliy CaSn DdSlS ne gains the ESth class and the right to have his button made of transparent crystal. Thence it is easy to progress to the fourth class and to the dignity of torquoise button Most Manda- rins stop in the fifth class. Before eaay may go further a severe eXamipation must be passed. The severity of the examina- ton varies with the ability of the candi- date to lubricate the path of his ambitifm with gold.
 If he has the price the Mandarin reaches the exclusive circles of the third class. His button, still blue, becomes transparent like amethyst From thence upward 1t is a case of the survival of the fittest. If chicanery bribery, shrewdness and cringing serve, he may be endowed with the right to adorn his cap with carved red coral button and is entrusted with the governorship of one of the great cities. Upon the good will of the reignng mon- arch depend his chances of promotion to the highest class. This office is the direct gift of the ruler. The button is plain; smooth orb of red coral. If Mandarin of the first class is deemed worthy of un- usually exalted honors, the title of ''kung, ? which corresponds to a dukedom, is com ferred upon him. This title, instead of de- scending from father to son, is retro- grade distinction in that it ennobles all of the possessors ancestors. The title dies with the holder.

AN ALABAMA TOWN
 WITHOUT NEGROES
Culiman Sticks to It's Unwritten Law and Gets Along Well Without the
 Black Race

Cullman is the only considerable town in Alabama-the only one in the entire south, as for that matter-which Is ex- clusively white. It is nearly twenty-nine years old and the United States census enumerators did not find there d single ne- gro resident. Cullman has a population of between 2,OOO and 2,5Oo. It was origin ally exclusively German, but today a con servative estimate places the population a only one-half German, the other half be- ing made up for the most part of south erners" to the manner born-Alabamians Mississippians Georgians and Tennesseans,
 Negroes are kept out of Cullnlan by an unwritten law. There could not under the constitution be municipal ordinance or legislative enactment prohibiting negroes from settling there. But up to this time, notwithstanding the fact that many south ern families who were accustomed in form CT days to being served in the kitchen and other departments of house work by negroes, live In Cullman, no person of color has yet found employment there The Teutonic founders of the town did not want hired help of any kind They saved money by doing their own chores. Had they been in circumstances to employ servants they would not, under any conditions, have hired a negro. Their prejudices were strong against the ebon race; and the noteworthy fact is that the southern element has adapted itself thoroughly to the rule of doing without negroes. The rule has worked we'll up to date. .
 Within the past six months three ne- groes might have been found in Cullman, but these three souls were there by especial arrangement or consent. They were to re- main only for limited period-a few weeks at most-and were not to be regarded as forming part of the population
 Whether the no-negro rule will hold after Cullman grows to be as large aa Selma or Huntsville is a question. Negroes will probably be numerous there before another decade rolls round.
 Hobson City, near Annstpn. is one of the few southern communities that Is exclu- siveiy black and is is certain to remain on that exclusive line. It is an important social probm-the founding of Hobson Clty Tor blacks only-and it will be watched by politicians and social philosophers with interest.

MORPHINE AND
 WHISKY HABITS

Dr. Westmoreland by scientific research has discovered a perfect antidote, and in forty-eight hours guarantees to destroy all desire and craving for Morphine. Cocaine, Chloral Whisky and kindred drugs with painless and harmless remedy. The quan- tity the persons uses or the length of time they have used any of them makes no diff ference whatever.
 CURE GUARANTEED promptly, and not one cent Will be required for treatment until the patients say that all desire and craving for theeir former habit is destroyed. The patients should remain (though very few do) under the observation and direction of the doctor for a week or more. The treatment can be given in secrecy, and is mild that the most delicate have taken it with little or no suffering In fact, the patient hardly realizes that he is under treatment until he finds himself cured and full of joy at his liberation from the most exacting and cruel masters that ever dominated a slave
 Dr. Westmoreland has never failed to relieve all of the great number that have taken his remedy for these enslavng hab- its or diseases. Why would any one con- tinue in bondage when he is guaranteed a cure? How could any physician devote his entire time to this one speciality and make this proposition, unless he knows he can cure you?
 No one that is addicted to any of these dreadful diseases or habits should fail to avail himself of this great opportunity of being cured at once of these, the greatest af1ictions that mortal ever had.
