WELL WATERED.

The lands outside of the mountains are
upduatIng prairie, well watered with lly-
ing streams of water is found by digging at
depths of twenty to thirty feet All the
streams bear more or ess fringe of tim
ber while large areas are covered with q
growth Of mesquite trees, timber which
make good fence posts and is excellent
fuel. Other sections and some streams bear
growth of timber large enough to saw into
lumber. ANY or all Of these timber lands
are productive, and will mako fine farms.
BY an net of congress approved June g.,
1900, the above reservation is to he opened
TO settlement. On the north side of this
reservation is another known as the Wichita
reservation, which may be included at the
same time, but tins is not yet known. The
law opening the reservation, provides that
the allotments shall be made in from three
to six months, and makes it lhe duty of the
President to issue proclamation opening
the country within six months after the al
lotments are made. 1t is not likely that
the President will take the six months and
and he may issue his proclamation immedi-
cteIy after the allotments are made. Thus
it may be seen the lands may be open at any
time from the early spring to summer of
next year.

PRODUCTIvENEsS.

There need be no doubt of the product
tried in every quar,er with result that has
produced 20 to 30 bushels Of wheat, and 40
to 80 bushels Of corn per acre. These cropa
have been raised by FARMERS living on In
dian lands. The valleys of the washitl, Of
Cache creek, Beaver and other streams are
more or less cultivated every year, and al
ways give good returns. Tee uplands are
productive of all cereals, nd:afford the fin
est grazing in the world.
The. lands to be opened to white settle-
ment, aster the Indian has taken his allot-
ment, will give comes to nearly 10000 fami-
lies. The price Of these lands will be S1.2J
per acre, payable at the end of five years
residence. No better chance to get home
in this superb climate will ever be known
again. The climate is all that can be desir-
ed, being happy medium between the hot
climate OF Texas and the cold climate of
Kansas or Missouri The days are never ex-
cessiyely hot, nor the winter excessively
cold. In summerddays the mercury seldom
goes above hundred, while the nights are
invariably cool. In winter the mercury
seldom goes below zero, and then for onlya
day or two. The reservation has one line of
railroad on its northern border, following
The Washita river with two more surveyed
and will probably be built before the OPEN
ing, which will give market facilities equal
to an older country.

and loveliest maidenhood burst from out CT space into the crowded place. as if com ing from some starland, and the throng parted in deference to maiden majesty The young girl came laughing, stood laughing and swaying, intangible joy in radiant reality. a young Empress of in noeence and pride whom no man was worthy to touch and no man so unworthy as to deny worship Her tenderly strong lips were parted, her wondering eyes were afiash, her white hands were half-raised as if to ward rather than to reach and men and women were silenced in the pres- ence of the living, breathing, bounding, blessing truth in the most beautiful form which truth can assume in the world She hesitated irresolutely resolute, the bril- liant light falling upon and Illuminating her perfections, and in that moment she was something pure and happy and holy to remember for ever. Unaware of these things, the proud maiden majesty of in- noeence gave recognition to her subjects and they closed about her and formed prouder guard of loyalty than any arch of steel that ever pended above crowned head of Queen in all the gone years of time.
 At the feet of her majesty prays

Southern Iron Rates.

The railroads have refused to reduce the rates on iron either to the seaboard or to interior points. The rate on export iron that once stood at $1 a ton is now g ton and the rate to Cincinnati is practically prohibitive Iron is Therefore accumula ting in the furnace yards, which will soon be filled The world wants iron, but railroad and steamship rates are such that the heavy stuff cannot be moved from southern furnaces and leave in the hands of pro- ducers any profit whatever.
 There Is but one real thorough remedy open the Warrior river. If the iron men of this district would head a movement, to be seconded by all other interests in this dis trict, Congress could next winter be in- duced to appropriate money enough to give speedily six feet of water in uhe Warrior. It is the only remedy that the case admits of. Congressman Underwood will do all that one man can do, and the iron and coal interests In this district should lend him assistance. Instead of starting one dam and lock, or possibly two in season, every needed dam and lock should be put under contract-every one. If the work were in Pennsylvania that is what would be done. The iron and coal men are strong enough to secure like action in Alabama. The value of the canal Is unquestioned-its value, we mean, to the country and its export trade; but Congress votes money slowly for it. Congress should be brought to see the paralysis that the want of it is bringing to a richly productive district to a district very near the sea, and full roundup ap- propriation secured.

it ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Quick Punishment in Ohio.

The swift trial and conviction of the ne- gro Louis Peck, for the commission of an unspeakable crime is an object lesson for all sections. He was carried from Cleve- land to Akron, the scene of his crime where he had been indicted by a special sentenced to hard labor for life in the pen itentiary, all within five minutes. Two minutes later he was on a train en route to the penitentiary. The doors of that in- stitution in Columbus closed upon him be- fore night.
 As in the case at Centrevlle, in Bibb came satisfactory. If there could be a reasonable guaranty of sure and swift ac- tion on the part of the courts there would be few cases indeed that could not be con- trolled by the better men in given com munity. It is the laws delays-its endless appeals, chiefly utilized by the wealthier- that lead to mob violence and until some assurance is given that these delays will not occur it will be found impossible tc stay anarchy.
 The Ohio case shows what can be done in Ohio courts. A few like cases in South ern courts are needed in order to fortify the hands of the friends of law and order. The case in Bibb County was conducted in like manner, thereby preventing mob action It was not as full of lightning ac- tion as the Ohio case was, but it showed what can be done when the courts can be aroused from their customary torpor to a sense of the dangers involved in iawless- ness

How to Spell It..

The spelling of the rame of the Chinese capital is in dispute. Is 1t Pekin or Pe- king? The doctors disagree. MT. Wu says the name should be Picking, because the final sound of the word Is that of Ing" that is to say, the Chinese give the word such final sound. He cites. too, the Aubury atlas and he shows that the French write it "Pekin" because final "n" in French has the sound of "ng.'
 But there is another side to the question, and that other side is chiefly official It may not be scientific, but it is official. The United States Board on geographical names, organized by President Harrison and since his term retained, decided last May against the position of MT. Wu. Here is its decision in full:
 "Pekin: Capital city, Northern China. (Not Fetching, Peking, Shun-tein-fu nor Yen)"
 This settles it. The spelling officially adopted may not be good Chinese, but it is good enough American, and as patriots we are in duty bound to stand by the honorable board on geographical names, even if We have to show some disrespect for Chinese final consonants and even for MT. Wus learning and spelling.

Value of a Full Vote.

There is just one way In which the plan, for cutting down the opportionment of Con- gressmen and electors in the south can be defeated, and that way consists in bringing out full vote In November. Let no one think that the Republicans have not the courage to undertake and carry out their plan, for they have. Men of the Hanna sort do not hack robber courage. Nor should any one think that a Democratic victory will stay their hands. It will quicken them rather than stay them. The apportonment will be made at the short session of the present Congress. unless indeed 1t can be talked to death in the Senate, which is not probable.
 There is but one way to kill their scheme, and that consists in bringing out the last man in November. The black vote will be boiled to some extent at least in a Presi- dential election, and if to that be added a full white vote, the mischief planned will be averted. The plotters will stand baked by official figures The Age-1Ierald urges the polling of the full vote of the State. Give the negroes every chance for voting for Mckinley and Roosevelt, but at the same time be sure to bring out the white vote of the Statee The two will confound the schemes for ten years at least. It Is worth a serious effort.

SUING FOR PEACE
Yaqui Indians Are Ready to Stop the
 War

Dallas, Tex, August 25.-A special to the News from Fl Paso, Tex, says:
 The Yaqui Indians in the State of So- nora, Mexico, who have been at war with the Mexican government for over year, are now suing for peace and endeavoring to be reinstated on their former reserva- ton and retain their property. Petabata and Batama1, two prominent Yaquis, ar rived here from Hermosillo last night and gave out this information. They are en route to Southern Mexico, where they go to learn, if possible, what has become of the different Yaauis who have been cap tured and sent to the interior. Batamal stated that about 2,000 Yaquis are still holding out against the government, but he thinks they will surrender. The move ment for peace was brought about by the peaceful Yaquis on the west coast, who have never participated in the war and they were actuated to the move by the fear that the Yaquis would be scattered throughout the republic and the tribe prac- tically exterminated.

 If thou should st bid thy friend farewell But for one night, though that farewell
 should be-
 Press thou this hand in thine; how can'st
 thou tell r.F How far from thee Fate or Caprice may lead his feet Ere that tomorrow come? Men have been
 known Lightly to turn the corner of street. And days have grown To months, and months to tagging years, Before they looked in loving eyes again. Parting, at best, is underlaid with tears, With tears and pain. Therefore lest sudden death should come
 between, Or time, or distance, clasp with pressure The palm of him who goeth forth. Unseen Fate goeth, too!
 Yea, find thou always time to say Some earnest word betwixt the idle talk, Best with thee henceforth, night and day, Regret should walk.

 He very carefully avoids all reference to the years of Democratic administration from 1885 to 1889, which were years of bet ter prosperity than the country has since known, not excluding the fever of 1899. The purchase and retirement of government bonds went on unceasingly-so much so that the price of the 4s was carried up to 13O. They are now worth about 109. The re- demption of the public debt amounted to $2S5 100000 in the four years and nearly as much more was paid into the sinking fund. It is record that the Republicans have never equaled, and MT. Hanna is very shy of reference to it The business of the country enjoyed like degree of pros perity.
 The Republicans came into power in 1883. and they soon wrecked the public revenue begun to court, they struck off the sugar begun to court, theystruck ohf the sugar duties, thus robbing the treasury of SS5,- 100000 year, and at the same time they added $50000,O 900 to the pension charge The pression soon completed the ruin of the the Barring failure and world wide de- to meet the Shanghai correspondents.

Colonel Bankhead has made considerable character and reputa- ton in the legislative branch, and 1t is generally understood that he desires to end his political career in the Senate, therefore he would hardly feel justied in leaving Congress now to accept a Cabinet position.
