land in the district for grazing purposes
was under discussion. Large sections
OF the mountains have been leased for
the purpose of grazing cattle and sheep
and more of the territory in basins sur
veyed for the Same purpose. Much Of
this includes areas that miners claims
have been made on, and parts lay less
than mile from whore applications for
mining patents for mineral surveys have
been made. To prevent complications
arising and to stop this method Of seaz-
ing large sections of the land the follow
ing resolutions were adopted unani-
mously and will be followed by other
steps:

Utah for distance OF more than 100
miles south. and

sons who have made substantial and
valuable Improvements and have opened
up rich leades and deposits OF precious
metals, tho land being government do
main and open for exploration. and
Whereas; This land is being selected
by the state of Utah, under its grant
from the United States government, to
acquire title from the United States, and
it being shown by false affidavits that
the same is non mineral land. Therefore
be it

is prepared with dignified musical
taste and is of the same high stand
ard as formerly, excepting that the
selections are almost entirely new.
In this portion of the program
the talented Troubadours demon
strate their exceptional gifts of
voice and rare musical training.
Their exquisite rendition of solos,
duets, quartettes and ensemble mas
terpieces of the great operate COM
posers is unequalled and incompar-
able, and won for them the fame
and exalted position they now
maintain in the stage world. While
the rag time melodies, the buck
dance. the cakewalk, and the coon
fun which precedes the operatic
Kaleidoscope is inimitable and inn
mensely enjoyable, it is universally
acknowledged that the inspiring
melodic masterpieces and manner
in which they are rendered is what
gives authority and supremacy to
the Black Patti Troubadours and
their stage performance. Another
pleasing feature is the taste shown
in costumes and stage appointments
this year.

In 1851 the Flying Cloud, one Of Don
aid McKay's American clippers, ran AT
knots in "a hours in a voyage from New
York to San Francisco. This perform
ance was eclipsed by that of another
vessel belonging to the same owner.
the Sovereign of the Seas. which on one
occasion averaged over IS miles an hour
for "a consecutive hours. Eng
1ishship owners were very slow to adopt
these improvements, and it was not till
the year 1850, after the abolition of the
navigation laws, that our countrymen
really bestirred themselves to produce
sailing ships which should rival and
even surpass those of the Americans
The legislation in question 50 affected
the prospects of British shipping that
nothing but the closest attention to the
qualities of vessels and to economy in
their navigation could save our carrying
trade from the effects of American COM

AFRAID OF THE BAND.
Why Webb McNall Did Not Speak
at Arkansas City.


Webb McNa11, who is in the city to-
day, cancelled a date to speak at Ar
kansas City rather than take the chances
of being insulted by the opposition.
Judge Miller, an Arkansas City old
soldier, attempted to deliver a Populist
speech at the G. A. r. reunion yester-
day but encountered a snare drum and
other distractions which combined
caused considerable interruption to his
remarks.
McNalI had been scheduled to make a
political speech in the city but the man
agement of the reunion exercised it's
influence and arranged for McNall to
follow last night the speeches of G.. w.
Wheatley, the congressional nominee, A.
w. Smith, and other Republicans who
had been waving the flag" during the
day.
Following Wheatley's approval of the
policy of the national administration on
the Philippine question Judge Miller
was discussing the opposition view when
the snare drums ''choked him off,

SCHOOL TALK.
Mrs. Markham, Wife of the
Famous Poet, Writes.
Makes a Plea For the Children
Of Today.
OUR CHILD ARMIES.
Their Care More Important
Than Chinese War.
Scholars Are the SO CustOdians''
of the Future.

Mrss Edward Markham, wife of the
poet, says in an article in the New York
World:
In the early days of California in a
mining camp of the high SierraS the
community was once gathered to cele-
brate the Fourth of July The Grafton
had been delivered, the band was labor
ing through a patriotic melody, when
all at once, in Shirll Obligato there
arose the wailing, immemorial infant
cry of the only baby on the Divide
The mortified young mother tried to
smother the sound; the musicians
cracked their cheeks to Guido the child's
accompaniment. But louder and wilder
Suddenly a brawny miner leaped up,
roaring: stop the internal music and
let the baby have a chance!" The au-
dience cheered, the brasses ceased and
the little thing had its cry out.
Would it not be well for us to stop
the din and uproar of business and poll
tics once in a while and let the children
have a chance to be heard and the eld-
ers have time to reflect upon the chill
dren's needs and rights?
Our ears are filled with rumors of ad-
vancing armies in Africa and Asia, but
the unnoted host of the youth of our
land moving through this autumn
weather up and down the streets TO the
public schools is of more consequence
to us at home than any army terrible
with banners that ever marched forth
to crimson victory or defeat.
Let the stubborn Dutchman hold
against England's encroachments as the
dikes of his fatherland hold against the
Zuyder Zee, let the hoary walls of
dotard China crumbIe like rotten ice
before the hot wrath of the allied
forces. but the prowess of these foreign
armies is to us no more than idle cloud
play compared with the closer impinge-
ment of the child armies about us The
destiny of these alien nations, however
picturesque in the perspective of his
tory, touches us feebly in comparison
with the destiny of this rising republic
CT ours.
These little people with the shining
morning face" trudging to the kinder
garten, these lads and maids hurrying
to the high school. looking forward with
eager ambitions to the battle of life, and
all the little rollicking, care-free
naughty ones, with the little sad-eyed
weary old ones in between, are to be
men and women of the first half of the
century coming.
They will be the army of occupation
camped beside our thresholds or our
gravestOnes. Tt behooves us to equip
them well for the day of domain, to be
sure that in every way they are put in
possession of themselves before they
take possession of the nation.
All virtues in the last analysis spell
but se1f-mastery. Prudence, justice, tenn
perance fortitude all resolve into this
one precept, Conquer myself"

mation2 How shall we bond ourselves

to insure good citizenship about US in

to insure good citizenship about us in
our last days?
The schools and the teachers are our
reliance. Should we not see to it that,
regardless of politics. of pull, of any
qualification but kindness of DISPOSE
ton, nobility of character and fulness of
mind, the teachers are chosen for their
solemn and delicate labor? Let the pos
session of culture and honor and loving
kindness of heart be assured in our
teaching force, and then let US make
sure that the teachers are given a
chance.
Serenity of spirit, coming from assur-
ance of work to do and care for the
morrow, gives the mood for the best
work for today. Yet there is no worker
in the community whose hard-earned
wage is paid so reluctantly, is so lightly
held back, is so liable to fluctuations, as
that of the teacher. As a matter of JUS
most intimate service of love next to the
parents, that impact of spirit upon spirit
that is required of the teacher.
Civilization exists for thes axe of the
children. They are all of ourselves we
can project into the future If we are
too poor to give them room for their
training, then here is the city'S most be-
seeching charity.
If they are cheated of their birthright
by the carelessness or the chicanery of
those who control appointments, why
is not this violation of the peoples dear
est rights just cause for public protest
and for the putting out of such I'M
faithful and improbable servants?
With our children in their tender school
years as with the faithful al Mecca, ev-
erything counts seven-fold. Let us be
sure that the teachers, who are q spec

of mind and abundance of every neces-
sary wherewith to be enabled to do their
best work.
