The census shows some queer things
about Texas. For instance, Bailey
County has but four residents, Cochran
has IS, Andrews 81, Lynn II, Dawson
36. Twenty-Five others have less than
400. Some counties have no running
stream within their borders, some are
hundreds of miles from railroad, and
others are almost wholly inhabited by
prairie dogs, jack-rabbits and rattle
snakes. Tom Green County. the

KEEP GEORGIA SYRUP PURE.

In years gone by New Orleans and
s.sugar house" molasses. both from
Louisiana, were regarded as the finest
aud purest article in their line in the
country. But those times are gone.
In order to increase their profits many
manufacturers began to aduIterate their
product. At the present time many
brands of so-called New Orleans" mo-
Iasses are compounds, the principal
part Of which is glucose; and many Of
them are artlHclally colored by pro-
cess TINT Is dangerous to the health if
not the life Of the consumer. Some
time ago a citizen of New Orleans re-
ceived from a grocery store a piece Of
ginger bread made with the so-called
New Orleans molasses, and became
violently i'll after eating it, The GIN
gerbread was analyzed, and a quantity
of zine was found in 1t. This was de-
rived from the molasses having had its
coloriug matter precIpitated by means
of a zinc pIase immersed in the rein
ing tank. Acrusade against adulter-
ated molasses was started by the health
autboritias and several persons were
arrested; but it was not possible to
secure convictions At the present
time an agitation against impure and
aduiterated molasses is going on in
New Orleans.
The syrup and molasses trade OF
Louisiana has been badly hurt by the
putting out of fraudulent goods under
the name of the pure articles; and in
this instance, as in others. the limo
cent suffer alike with the guilty, There
are some producers Of the genuine
New Orleans and sugar house in
Louisiana still, but such a great guam
tity Of the adulterated stuff has been
and is being showed on the market
that none but an expert can diserimi-
nate between the real and the imitation
in making a purchase. AS couse-
quence both are declined by persons
who know of the practice Of adulterat-
ing the goods.
This should be warning to produc.
ers of Georgia cane syrup to keep then
production up to its present high
/ standard. Ii is now, beyond question
. the purest, most wholesome and bes-
syrup in the market, not excepting the
fhlgh-priced maple syrup of New Eng
land. And the demand for the Geor.
gia article is steadily growing. Only
recently q sample shipment Of it was
sent from this city to Liverpool, and i
is within the range Of possibilities thai
a Georgia syrup trade, by means of di
rect shipment on cotton steamers, viii
be built up with England. The Eng.
fish people are fond of good eating.
Meanwhile shipments Of constantly in.
creasing proportions are being made tc
the North, showing that the syrup Is
gaming III competition with the maple.
If our syrup makers will exercise care
in preparing their syrup, and put only
a frst-class article on the market, they

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. tits customary to speak OF Catarrh
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
a simple Inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated BY
the foul secretions, and the poison
through the general circulation is carried
to ell parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they
do not reach the seat of the trouble. S.
S. S. does. It cleanses the blood of the
poison and eliminates from the system all
catarrhal secretions, and thus cures thor
oughly and permanently the worst cases.

The State of Indianokla.

DR.. w. B. Palmer, editor Of the
st. Lous Christian Advocate, spent
the time during the Methodist
Conference in this city, and since
returning home has penned the
following:
"During the first decade of the
new century the Indian and Ok
lahoma Territories will doubtless
be united to form the new state OF
Indianokla, destined to be one Of
the richest and most beautiful
states of our republic. Vinita, the
northwestern gateway to this bo-
nanza of mineral and agricultural
possibilities, is already booming
into priminence. Here reside the
wealthy cattle kings and some Of
the largest retail merchants in the
land. Two artesian wells have
been recently opened 800 feet
deep, from which delightful white
sulphur water, evidently equal to
the white sulphur springs Of Vir-
ginia, gushss in voluminous
streams night and day. One OF
the millionaire cattle kings owns
one Of these wells and the beauti-
ful grounds surrounding it, on
which doubtless will soon rise a
splendid hotel or sanitarium, to
which the health and pleasure
seekers from all parts Of the Mis-
sissippi Valley will be hocking dur
ing the coming years. Willie
Halsell College, with its 160 acres
Of suburban campus, is near this
well and will soon be in the midst
Of the city which will eventually
grow around its immense and
charming grounds.
Out Of the ashes of Harrell In
stitute. at Muskogee, the Harrell-
Spaulding school, phonix-like, is
rising into splendid promise. Mr..
Spaulding is one Of the cattle
kings who knows exactly how to
use his money in the uplift and
help of humanity. The fire that
reduced the old building to ashes, {
will yet prove a blessing in dis
guise. Hargrove college, at Ard
more, is now in charge OF Brother
Whitten. formerly Of Missouri,
who is believed to be the right I
man in the right place. Ardmore, !

MILLION ACRES FOR RENT
Usage Reservation to be Let
For Farming,

Mitscher, United States agent fol
the Usage Indians, has begun the
leasing Of reservation lands for az.
ricultural purposes Heretofore
practically all the reservation has
been leased for grazing purposes
to caitlemen, who brought in great
herds from the south and west.
The leasing of the Usage lands for
strictly agricultural purposes is re-
garded as the most important
event in the history Of the reserv-
alton. Practically one million
acres Of the richest farming land
in the southwest will be placed
within reach Of responsible per-
sons at reasonable rentals. Mil
lions Of bushels Of corn and wheat
will come annually from land that
has never been furrowed by
plow. The income of the Usage
Indians will be increased and the
changed conditions from grazing
pastures will hasten the breaking
up Of the tribal relations and les
sen year by year the protest
against allotment.
Agent Mitscher is leasing the
land in 160-acre tracts, which,
pending allotment. will be desig-
mated as the individual property
Of a member of the tribe. Thus
each Indian who consents to claim
ownership to 160.acre tract Of
land will receive lease money.
Stubborn Indians will be encour-
aged to claim land by seeing 9TH
ers receive lease money. In this
way practically all the land will
be claimed and leased. Agent
Mitscher has been making leases
for three months, and it is expect
ed that within the next three
months hundreds of white farmers
will enter the reservation. Many
Of them will come from Kansas
and Missouri.
Agent Mitcher will not lease
large tracts of land for farming
purposes, thereby preventing the
practice Of sub-leasing Leases
will be made only to persons who
are financially able to cultivate
the land In proper manner. The
lazy man looking for o place where
he can get cheap land that will
provide him . living with a mini
mum Of work will not bs able to
retain his lease. 1t is the pur-
pose Of Agent Mitcher to develop
the land in the most substantial
manner, and he believes that only
substantial farmers can do it.
Leases are being made to run from
three to five years. An order was
issued lately by Agent Mitcher re-
curing every white resident TO
send his children to school not
less than five months in a year.
Persons who do not comply with !;
The order will be removed from
he reservations. Pawnee county,
