NEWS FROM IRELAND
The ..old sehoo, Clock.

Inc "Old Seh00f ClOcK.
Sad memories rush DER my mind just
OF faces and friends Of the past
OF that happy time when life's dream
was all bright
Ere the clear sky Of youth was DER
cast.
Very dear are those mem'ries; they've
chung round my heart,
And bravely withstood Times rude
shock,
But no one Is more hallowed or dear
to me now
Than that of the "Old School Clock"
Twas quaint old clock, with a quaint
old face,
And great iron weights and chain,
And it stopped when it liked, and, be-
fore it struck,
1t groaned as If 'twere in pain.
It had seen many years; and 1t seemed
to say
''1'm one of the real old STOCK"
To the youthful fry who with rever-
ence looked
On the face Of the "Old School
Clock"
All! many time have I labored to
sketch,
That yellow and time honored face,
With its basket of flowers, its figures
- and hands,
And the weights and chains in their
place;
And oft have gazed with admiring
eye,
AS sat on the wooden block,
And pondered and guessed at the won
derful things
s That were inside the "Old School
Clock"
What terrible frown did the "Old
Clock wear
To the truant who timidly cast
z An anxious eye on those merciless
~ hands
Which, for him, had been moving
too fast
But it fingered not long, for it loved to
smile
On that noisy, thoughtless flock;
And it creaked and whirred, and
struck with glee,
Did that genial, good-humored cold
Clock"
Well! years had passed, and my mind
= was filled
With the world, it's cares, and its
ways,
When again stood in that little school
# Where passed my boyhood days.
My old friend was gone! and there
hung a thing
Which my feelings seemed to mock
: AS gazed with saddened and sor-
rowing heart
At a fashioned Yankee Clock,
Twas a gaudy thing, with bright
painted sides,
And it looks with an insolent stare
At the desks, and the seats, and at
everything DID,
And thought of the friendly air
Of the face that I missed, and the
chains and weights,
All gone to the auctioneer's block.
:. lis a thing of the past; never more
= will see,
Save in memory, that old "School
Clock"
IT'S. the way of the world! Old friends
. pass away,
/, And fresh faces appear in their
stead;
But still, mid the hustle and strife of
the earth,
We cherish the thoughts of the dead.
Yes! dear are those mem'ries; they've
chung round my heart,
And bravely withstood Times rude
shock;
But no one is more hallowed or dear
to me now
Than the face of that "old School
Clock" -.e

SCHEME
Of FIynn'S to Beat Barnes
Out Of KiOWa APP
pOintmentS.

The visit of Delegate Flynn to Wash.
ington and the statement that he will
Introduce ILL III congress next De-
cember rroviding for plan for the
organization of counties in the Kiowa
and Oomanche country and the ap-
pointment of county officers was not
unexpected by Oklahomans who are
watching the situation. About two
weeks ago a newspaper story told that
the county officers would be appointed
by Go Ternor Barnes, together with all
subordinate officers, nam mberipg in all
about 500. 1t is alleged that this pros
peetive distribution of patronage by
Governor Barnes was used at the Re
publican convention to influence
wavering delegates to insist upon the
convention endorsing the territorial
admi Distration. This is said to have
been especially true in the attempt to
line up the Woods county delegation.
That Governor Barnes would distrib-
ute this patronage was denied by the
/ Flynn Republicans, who purposed to
see that the governor should not get
this advantage over them. In the first
place they argued, there were those
who said that Flynn would take no
chances, but would prevent the possi-
bility of Barnes filing the places, by
securing legislation on the subject st
Washington.
Delegate Flynn says that the K.owa
Comanche and Wichita country will be
divided into three counties, but he has
never described the proposed bounda-
ries other than to say that part of the
Wichita country could be given to
Blaine county and the residue made
into county. This would leave all
the Kiowa and Comanche country for
the two other counties.
There has been much conjecture as
TO the boundaries of these two coun-
ties in the Kiowa and Comanche conn
try. A man familiar with the coun-
try said
The Indians are to be given 4SO, 900
acres of land in body, to be the COM
mon property ot the tribe. Suppose
this land is set aside in townships 3, 4
| and 5south, between ranges s 10 19
inclusive, in all about 81 townships or
622, 03J acres. This would leave suffi-
cient land for those already settled
upon by Indians in this part of the
| ICSCINdLIOu " OG Idhtu 1OT
allotments. OF the remaining land in
| the reservation, two counties, each "a
miles north and south and about 30
miles east and west, could be made.
Where would the county seats be?
Well, look at the map. Fort Sill mill.
tary reservation lacks only four miles
north and south and five miles east
and west Of being in the center of the
! eastern county. The Rock Island rail
road is now building to Fort Sill. The
town could be established on the sec
tion of land between the reservation
and the Indian school on the south.
AS guess would say that the county
seat of the western county would be
| in the Wichita mountains, on an ex-
tension of the railroad from Fort Sill
into Greer county and the cattle coun-
try of the southwest. This would
make a beautiful town, in scenery as
picturesque as can be found in Colo
rado. l may be wrong on the whole
proposition, but watch what is done" {"

s. Webber Looking for Location for a
Factory.
Mr.. s. Webber of Menominee, Mich
igan, is in the city today. He is the
maker Of the Webber shoes.
Mr. Webber is visiting number OF
western cities iu the hope OF finding a
location where plant for the manu-
facture of the shoes may be erected.
Among the cities he has in mind are
Sioux City, Omaha, st. Joseph, Kansas
City, Topeka, Qttumwa, Iowa, Guthrie
and Fort Worth.
Two-thirds of the trade which this
shoe firm has is in the states of Kan
sas, Nebraska and Missouri. The plant
which supplies this trade is in Memo
minee, Michigan, and the enormous
freight rates charged on shipments ot
goods to the customers in this section
of the country makes it advisable tc
establish factory in the center of the
trade territory.
Mr. Weber wants no bonus &c
locate. r makes the following prop.
osition, Let a company of men incor-
porate and either reut or build plant
and Mr.. Web ser Will give them the
privilege of making the Webber seam
less shoe and he will make his money
by taking certain per cent of the
profits.
Mr. We bber states that the trade
which would aecrIe TO a factory in
this section of the country would keel
with a capacity of 600 pairs of shoes
daily busV. A plant of this size would
employ about 1870 men, with a weekly
pay roll OF about 81 900.
