where it had been his custom TO get
kindling to start fire. He had just
stepped inside of the building when a
coat was thrown over his head and he
was held by two men who bound his
hands and feet and put a gag in his
mouth and then went through his pock-
cts and got $145 in bills, it being money
paid to him Saturday night after the
banks closed He was found later by one
of the yard men, who released him and
notified the police. The robbers went
through the safe but took nothing. Inc
coat used was an old one that had been
hanging in the office, the cord had also
been taken from the office, it being win
dow cord. There are no clews to the per-
petrators of the deed. Mr.. Hankens could
not tell whether there were more than
two or not and as they did not speak So
he could hear. consequently he could
give the police very little assistance. The
robbers undoubtedly were familiar with
Mr.. Hankens habits, as they lay in wait
for him in the carpenter shop instead of
assaultinc him in the office.

1T RETURNS TO THE CHARGE
Hennessey Kicker Has More to Say to
and of the Rev swan

| Guthrie o. T., Jan. 9.-Last week the
| Hennessey Kicker criticised Rev. Swan.
| of the And-Saloon League, as meddler.
| That paper again says: I'VE hope that
! OR good friends will not get too badly
| worked up over what is said in these col
umns about the Rev Swan, who to most
| Of them is an unknown quantity. There
are many good people in the Anti-Saloon
| League ; in fact about all the members
| here are good people, and our observa-
ton has proved that the better a man
| is the more easily he is worked by some
slick tongued individual who is too proud
to beg and too lazy to work Mr.. Swan
has a reputation as a disturber in Kan
sas, and, GOD knows. there is no better
field in the universe for missionary work
in the anti-saloon cause than Kansas.
There IS no occasion, whatever, for any
of her sincere and honest workers to seek
employment away from home. And while
we are heartily in favor of any move
ment that will make the masses more
temperate, that will advance the cause
CT temperance, that viii make the peo-
pie better, decrease the number of drunk
ards in our land and force a due observ-
ance of the laws we challenge the as
sertion that there is anything beneficial
to the cause of temperance in the line
of action taken by the Anti-Saloon League
c. this county, and offer the free use Of
our columns TO the challenged. Now do
not fly off the handle and misinterpret
CIR position i'll this matter. Let Us all
be reasonable in this matter, and remem-
Der that we live in a country of boosted
where there are no lords or serfs and
every man is entitled to express his views
on every question, without fear or favor,
and to worship accordingly. Let US join
in teaching the rising generation the in
furious effects of strong drink and dissi-
patton on the system, and look forward
to that happy future when one law shall
join all kindreds and tongues together,
and that shall be the law of universal
brotherhood and love-.

FOR FARNLESS MEN
Flynn Has introduced a Bill
to Permit
SECOND HOMESTEADENTRY
Similar Bill Has Been Intro
duced in the Senate,
Especial Correspondence of the Eagle.)

| Especial Correspondence of the Eagle)
washington, Jan. 9-Delegate Flynn
has introduced a bill in the house to
grant settlers the right to make second
homestead entries. A similar bill has
been introduced in the senate by Senator
Pettigrew of South Dakota. Mr.. Flynn
is heartily in favor of pushing the bill,
and believes, he says, that it should be
on the statute books It's text is as fol-
lows:
Be itenacted by the senate and house Of
representatives of the United States of
America in congress assembled, That any
person who, prior to the passage of this
act, having made homestead entry, but
for any cause lost or forfeited the same,
or for any reason failed to perfect or Sc
cure title in fee simple to the land en-
braced therein, or who having perfected
or secured such title, did SO by what is
known as the Communication of his home
stead entry under section 2301, United
States revised statutes, may make a
homestead entry of not exceeding one
state or territory subject to such entry.
Section . That any person desiring to
make another entry under this act will
be required to make affidavit, to be trans
mitted with the other filing papers now
required by law, giving the description of
the tract formerly entered date and
number of entry, and name of the land
Office where made or other sufficient
data to admit of readily identifying it on
the Official records.
Section 8. That on the proper showing
being made by any qualified applicant
under this act, othe satisfaction of the
register and receiver, that his former
entry has been lost or forfeited for any
cause, and that he has not perfected or
secured title thereto under the homestead
law, or who, having perfected the title
thereto did so under section 1901 of the
United States revised statutes and hav-
ing all other proper qualifications of
homestead entryman, the register and
receiver will. without further showing,
Oh payment of the usual fees and com
mission, allow his said application and
make his entry of record.
In single sentence, the enormous vol
ume of the trade with our new possess
sions an dthe advantage it gives to this
country commercially, can be told. In
1898. the total exports to Cuba, Porto
Rico Haaii and the Philippines amount
ed to $40, U0O, 900; in 1889, the figures Will be
just about SDO9)Ol0, a gain of 100 per
cent. The Importance Of this is only
seen when taken into consideration with
the fact that Cuba and Porto Rico are
neither up to the normal standard of
what they will be when conditions are
settled, and that during the entire year
os 1899 there has been an insurrection in
progress in the Philippines.
In number of states, Republican con-
ventions have already been called, main
ly for the month of April, and in view of
the early national conventions, and the
requirement that delegates shall be Sc
lected thirty days prior to its meeting, it
is generally conceded that nearly all the
states will hold quite early conventions.

the destruction of dangerous scales
and other pests.
Such is the scientific agriculture of
today. 1t includes the ability to rec
ognize causes by chemical reaction or
microscopic investigation and the
knowledge of what is needed
to produce effects. Every year the re-
quirements of successful agriculture
are higher, and every year the attain
ments of the scientific agriculturists
are increased.
There is probably no country where
scientific agriculture has been carried
to greater perfection than this. Under
the tutelage of Professor Maxwell, we
have made a wonderfully great ad-
vance, and as a result have increased
the field of our cane fields enormous
ly. But what we think success today,
we will think very little of in the flu
tuTe; for progress on these lines will
continue steadily as the twentieth
century advances,

SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE,

The Pittsburgh Dispatch rightly
points out, the term scientific agricul-
ture formerly meant the practical APP
plication of few well-known princi-
pies. It has grown to have a wider
meaning in these progressive days
Scientific agriculture now means chem
zeal and microscopical research, en-
gineering and physics generally.
The scientific agrlculturist of 1900
ranges over the field from hydrostatics
to bacteria. 1t is not very many years,
as time is calculated, since the dis
covery was made that clover and many
Ieguminous plants stored nitrogen in
the soil. Quickly thereafter it was de-
termined that nitrogen was extracted
from the air by multitudes of bacteria
infesting the leguminous roots. Long
before that, however. the practical
farmer had learned that some soils
would not grow clover, being "clover
sick" But scientific agriculture has
discovered remedy for even this con-
dition. The Understanding bacteria
have been cultivated and are supplied
in proper medium for application to the
land, just phorsphoric acid and potash
are supplied by the aid of chemical
process. Insects and parasites are Gull
tivated and supplied to the farmer for

EXPERT NEEDED.

The forestry question is one of the
most important that the Territory has
to consider. 1t is useless to bring for
ward any further argument upon the
subject. Enough has been said and
enough has been advanced to prove the
dangerous condition in which we stand.
We are simply allowing a steady des-
truction of the forests which has al
ready affected the water supply in some
portion of the Islands, and which will
eventually result in the complete de-
mutation of large tracts.
Governor Dole is interesting himself
in the matter and has decided to re-
poses, and as leases fall in, clauses in
the new leases will be inserted with the
purpose of protecting the forests.
What, however, we need more than
anything at the present time is the SER
vices of an expert in forestry. We all
know something about forests, but even
scientific men like Dr. Maxwell who
from his work in the Islands probably
knows more of the subject than any
other man here, knows little or
nothing of the practical work
little or nothing of the practical work
connected with the management of
forests. 1t requires a thoroughly train
ed man, and such men are to be found
in the mainland, in Germany, in France.
in British india, in fact all over the
world.
The foremost countries of the world
devote an immense amount of care to
their forests, The reckless waste
which has been going on for centuries
has been brought to halt, and science
has stepped in to take the place of blind
chance. Properly managed, forests be-
come a source of income, paying a
handsome profit over and above the
cost of efficiently caring for them. So
that care of forests not only ensures
the permanence of the water supply,
which is in itself worth all the expense,
but it also ensures an income from the
forest products. We ought to have an
expert sent here from the mainland.

AT this stage too much importance
cannot be placed upon the duty of every
Republican to register. The time is
rapidly dwindling down into hours, and
every Republican who fails to register
is dead loss to his party and a clear
gain to its opponents. IT is the veriest
laziness to fail to register. Some men
nave been careless in the matter and
have consequently lost their chance of
political honors. To get Prince David
registered has cost the price of a steam
er voyage. Dillingham; would have been
a senator had he registered, but in a
busy visit he forgot to do so.

The night schools which have been
opened in various parts of the city are
proving a great success. Last week the
enrolment was 264 and there is every
prospect of further increase. A very
promising class formed OF young men
who work in the foundry has been
formed under the superintendent of
Mr. Hits. These are the ones the night
schools ought to reach. The youths are
thus given an opportunity of improving
themselves during the time of their
apprenticeship. Changing the plan of
the night school from one central point
TO many points has taken education to
the masses instead of the masses COM
ing at great inconvenience to them
selves.

The story of the capture of the MUIR
derer of Baron Won Ketteler may or
may not be true. If it is true and it is
a fact that upon the man was found a
letter from one of the Chinese mobiles
ordering the man to kill the ambassador
on his way to the German foreign
office, it very thoroughly justifies the
emperor in refusing to have any diplo-
matte relations with the Chinese gov
eminent until the instigators of the
murders are given up. The man who
committed the deed should be punish
ed, but he who instigated it is far more
guilty.
