COMMUNICATION.
Editors Of the PIoNEEn Exrarss:

Your comments last week headed ga
Map" is now very timely as
will soon assume their assess
ment duties, and whether rightly or not,
the statistics referred to are supposed
to be included as part of those duties.
The inaccuracies so transparent in these
returns arise from two causes.
First. the assessor feels that he was
elected to assess all real and personal,
in his township, for which he
receives remuneration from the board of.
The additional labor of
gathering statistics of acres cultivated
and uncultivated acreage and yields of
all crops, including berries, currants,
eggs, butter, etc. is generally regarded
as imposing upon the assessor more than
a double portion of the labor his town.
ship requires of him and for which he
gets no compensation.
Secondly, many farmers on whom the
assessors call for this information abso-
lutely refuse to answer those questions
relating to farm statistics; hence, when
you put these two reasons together we
know why acreage and crop statistics are
so grossly inaccurate.
The writer of this article had occasion
to compile similar statistics for the COM
missioner of agriculture and labor and
when submitting the same to him re-
marked that he was ashamed to return
such misleading reports as crop results
in Pembina county. Anyone feeling any
degree of pride in this splendid county
must feel tinge of shame and humilia-
ton when seeing such erroneous figures
published broadcast over the continent.
In 1893 not less than $40, 600 acres
were sown to wheat alone, which gave
a yield of nearly five and one-halt mil
lion bushels, while over $1,000 acres
were devoted to other cereals and crops,
making over 800, 600 acres under cultiva-
ton out of a total of about 76O, 600 acres
in the county. Better by far to cease
going through the motion of giving crop
statistics than to libel the fair name of
Pembina county. If sthere is any law to
compel farmers to answer those ques-
tons that relate to this matter it might
be proper for some one to rise and state
the chapter and section. If there are no
such endorsements, then let us cease this
farce. Yours truly,
s ,5g. SUBSCRIBER.

Treasurer LaHay OF the Chero-
kee nation has received a COM
munication from that celebrated
Muskogee typewriter, counter
signed by ]. Blair Shonefelt, tell
ing him that the authority granted
to said treasurer to collect for the
seminaries is revoked, and that
the Honorable Supervisor OF
Schools Benjamin Coppock, who
draws $500 a year from the
Cherokee fund, will attend to that
little matter hereafter. Joe La
Hay, while a Cherokee, has a
nature that delights in being shown
and now his optics are ready for
any interior sights the department
may nave on exhibition.
Certain queries arise in the
mind Of the unbeliever as to the
law back of this new ukase. AS
LaHay was elected by the ohero-
kee nation, and is so recognized
by the United States government,
can the department revoke this
authority without an express
staluteP Judge Gill holds In the
negative. The truth is, the Cher
okee law gives LaHay 10 per cent
for collections, which he has been
retaining against the protests of
of the Muskogee gang, who have
an overwhelming desire to handle
all the cash iu the territory, and
they are trying to get ahead of
him by means Of an order from no
one knows where. - Claremore

letter from a non-conmissioned officer
the 31st infantry, written at Zambanga,
throws light on it. The writer who asks
that his name be withheld, writes as
follows:
ION February II Col Petit. in com
mand of this regiment, took q privates,
one sergeant and three corporals from
company G, and accompanied by AS
sistant Adjutant General Pershing and
captain of company c. all heavily arm
ed, embarked on a small steamer. Their
object was to capture one of AguinaldO"s
officers on q small adjacent island. Is
abella, only few hours trip from here
When they reached the town where this
officer was stopping the Morro Dado or
chief, came out to meet the boat and
informed Col. Petit that he could not
land his men under arms, but that If
he would leave all of the arms on board
ship he and his men could come in and
view the town. This was DONE
THE town was found to be a small
one, containing probably 400 men and
women, all told. The women as we'll as
men were armed with huge bolos and
rifles. After entering the town in their
| shirt sleeves the enlisted men had to
submit to having the MorroS deliberate
ly put their hands into their pockets
and take their tobacco. When the time
for departure arrived the chief submit
ted proportion to Col. Petit to sur
render the man they were after for $40
in gold. Col. Petit accepted the propo-
sition, leaving his prisoner in charge of
the marines en- route here.
"On his arrival here Col. Petit had a
= talk with Lieut., Col. Hayes, a fine man
with a good record, and Col Hayes told
him he was ashamed of his conduct and
| plushed for the entire 31st regiment
and would have himself Immediately
transferred from such a disgraceful
| outfit or resign. Col Hayes left here
yesterday for Manila on an unlimited
| leave of absence, carrying his entire
belongings

this island. He is the man who has re-

he feared that if it was addressed to a

TO DISSOLVE 8TH CORPS.
Organization Will Become Division of
the Philippines.

New York. April 13.-A Herald special
from Washington says:
orders will be issued by Secretary Root
this week formally directing the dissolu-
tion of the Eighth army corps.
This action will relegate to history the
last of the army corps organized to wage
war against the kingdom of Spain
The Eighth army corps has been in ex-
istence longer than any other corps form
ed since the Civil war. 1t has been merged
into the division of the Philippines. with
four departments, presided over by gen
eral officers.
Brigadier General Theodore Schwan will
return home from Manila with General
Otis. He is not we'll and in the interest
of his health the war department has
deemed it advisable to grant his request
for permission to return
Secretary Root has determined to re-
scind the rule prohibiting the transporta-
ton of wives of officers to the Philippines
in view of the fact that the troops are
now to do garrison duty rather than to
engage in expediuonary movements. Pro
vided wives can show they have friends
in points in the islands where they desire
to go, so that should their husbands be
called away they will not be burden fol
the government to take care of, OBJ
lection will be made to their transports
ton.

WILD SCENE.
Clash Between McKeever and
Wilson Forces in Fifth Ward.

There was an exciting political meet
ing at Browns chapel IN the Fifth ward
Thursday evening which several times
came near breaking up IN a fight. The
meeting was called in the interest of the
candidacy of Z. D. NcKeever for repre-
sentative but it developed that the fol-
lowers of A. K. Wilson, Mr.. AIcKeever's
opponent, were also there, and practical
ly captured the meeting.
H. S. Chiles called the meeting to or
der. The man slated for chairman was
Clarence Moss and he was duly nom

chairs and there was a rush toward the
front.
J. E. Larimer who was there in the
interest of A. K. Wilson mounted the
platform and said that the Wilson men
were not there to raise a row and he
asked that the audience become quiet
and allow ChileS to continue to preside
This was done and Mr.. MckeeVer made
his speech and presented a picture OF
CONGRESSMAN Charles Curtis. He prom
ised to secure all the places possible for
coIored men. He was interrupted by
George Hightower who sang a song,
Wen be there but you won't be
there"
A Dawson who is employed in State
Treasurer Grimes office made a speech
and he was followed by A Newman who
spoke for Wilson.
Then A. K. Rodgers spoke and during
the course of his speech asserted that
Wilson was opposed to Curtis
