A Rock Island Excursion TO Granite.

1t is officially announced through
the passenger department Of the Rock
Island road, that Its new branch line
running from Chickasha westward to
Granite, is completed and ready for
business. This new line is 88 miles
long and is built through the heart OF
the Washita valley. Thus located,
the line throughout nearly its entire
length, lies within the Kiowa, Com.
anche and Apache reservation. AL
ready several towns are located on
this new branch, the chief ones being
Anadarko, Mountain View, Kiowa
and Granite, which is at present the
terminus OF the road and is situated
Just across the line in Greer county,
Oklahoma.
Much interest is being manifested,
especially in the west over the Kiowa,
Comanche and Apache reservation
being opened up to settlement. Much
has been written about this new land
and the papers generally both east
and west, have contained many write
UPS concerning the resources and its
value both as an agricultural and
mining district. Probably nowhere
in the Indian Territories, Is there
such valuable tract of land as is this
KlOwa, COmanche and Apache reser-
walton, and it is the last o. the large
tracts OF land TO be opened up g.
settlement. 1t contains upwards Of
two millions Of acres, which will bt
thrown open to- the public as soon as
the president issues his proclamation
to that effect.
A WORD about this new land nigh
be interesting. AT least 80 per cent
OF the land is rich agricultural land
which will MAKE as fine farms as ca
be found anywhere in the west. TIL,
Wichita mountains are included with.
in the limits Of the reservation. Gold,
silver and copper have been found ir
these hillsand it is said by experienced
miners that great riches are there
Ilmoer and creek bottoms are plenti
full. Natural gas has been discovered
at Granite, and petroleum oil is q
certainty. Goa, has been found, and
many prOSpectors are already on the
ground. The town OF Granite already
gives promise Of being one of the
chief towns in that country. 1t is
growing daily with remarkable rapid
ity. 1t is surrounded by mountains
shady groves and running brooks. The
Rock Island will run low rate popu.
lar excursion to Granite on Sunday
August5. At this time exhibitions
will be given of the natural gas burn
ing aud visits will be made to the
gas wells to witness the wonderful
1Ow pronounced by experts to be the
richest surface flow OF natural ga:
ever discovered in America.

eastward, When we alighted into the crowd at Tokyo the second jewel of all guides, known as Shimidizu, hurried ahead to where the riksha men were waiting. He had eleven little Japanese flags, which he distributed among the entreating coolies. Every rikshaman receiving a flag was thereby engaged. Wherever one of us saw flag waving he climbed into a riksha and in 1iffy We were out of the mix-up and bowling along a street that futtered with red and white streamers.
 Tokyo is like Chicago in one respect. It is spread over an immense area and in order to know the place you must see many parts of 1t.
 The palace is the heart of the city, with a great wall and a moat encircling the grounds. Outside the palace wall, but within a great encircling canal. are government buildings, foreign lega- tions, clubs, hotels and other buildings separated by rather magnificent dis tances. Our line of rikshas was headed for the main gateway of the old wall, for the wedding party was to come out from the palace at 10:30 and proceed to the prince imperlals residence and re- main there until the afternoon recep- ton. We rode i'll dust and crowds, both of them thickening when we came into

CAMPAIGN TALK.

That scare which Republicans were
 going to have hasn't come along yet,
 but it is early in the campaign and
 there is time enough for 1t to come.
 Meanwhile it is announced that the Re- publican Congressional campaign com rnittee is receiving most encouraging re- ports daily from the States west of the Missouri river It is said at this head quarters that the Democrats have prac- tically abandoned all hope of carrying Kansas for Bryan and are now making an effort to capture the State legisla- ture. The same condition of affairs ex- ist, they say, In Utah and number of other far western States. Wherever the Democrats believe there Is the slightest doubt of their ability to carry a State for the national ticket, they are making arrangements to trade and to center their strength on the legislature, hop ing in this manner to elect United States Senators. They realize that the Republicans stand very little chance of electlng senators in Kentucky, Mary land and North Carolina, and that If they can win a few more seats in the senate they will control that body in 1902, and have a fine start for tine pres idential campaign of 1904. The men in charge of the Republican Congressional headquarters say with great assurance that Bryan will be lucky If he carries three States west of the Missouri river.
 Three States west of the Missouri riv- CT will be more than Bryan ought to carry. But If he Is kept down to that we can be happy.

 Whither, whither art thou feeting?

 We had been hoping for just this kind of a morning, but the Japanese had never been in doubt, They knew that the sun always shone on q royal wedding. One of the Japanses nurse maids explained it to a woman at the hotel. She said that the prince impe- rial was child of the sun and surely the sun would not withhold a blessing.
 Early in the day the faithful guide, who had been to the railway station to investigate, came with the information that multitude had been crowded in and about the station since daylight, that every train to Tokyo was filled to the doors and that if we were to see any part of the ceremonies we must be prepared to fight for the privilege.
 There were eleven in the party, five women and six men, two of the latter being the guides, without whom we should not have arrived anywhere that day.
 Eleven rlkshas make a showy process sion. We hauled up before the Yoko- hama station in a scramble of wheels and shafts and elbowed through the crowd waiting at the gates. By some magic influence Katzu induced a gate man to open a private way for us and we came out on the long platform, where the wooden clogs were making a great chatter against the hard cement Even the tirst-class apartment was crowded on this day The Japanese of- ticers In their fancy but ill-fitting uni forms and their foolish little carpet bags not much larger than ladys purse were our fellow-p passengers. They smoked without asking permis- sion of the American women. The pas- senGers who scrambled into the other cars of the train were in native dress, with sprinkling of oldfashioned der by hats.

 AN INTERVENING CORPOR1TIO

Many interesting corporations have been formed in New Jersey lately. One of them is ''The Capital Investment and Supply Company of New Jersey" This corporation is authorized to fur nish supplies to families. establish stores, deal in real estate without limit and engage in any desirable form of commercial pursuit The capital stock of the company Is fixed st $75,00O, in 76,000 shares of the par value of s1 each. It proposes to do business in. New York, Philadelphia Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, Washington and other large cities, and eventually to ex- tend it's operations to Cuba. The most striking feature of this corporation is that it is under the sole management of negroes, and it proposes to do bust ness with negroes and to give employ ment to negroes in carrying on it's oper- ations. It Is hoped to concentrate the trade of colored families; to give di- rection to the investment of earnings in the purchase of homes, and in va

PROPHET BRYAN.

We read about stoning prophets, and stcning prophets Is very cruel per
 formance. It is also cruel to throw the predictions of prophets at them after said predictions have failed. But two hundred Republican papers of Kansas are dealing thus cruelty with Prophet Bryan, who four years ago prophesied as follows: If Mckinley and the Re- publican party are successful and put in power for the next four years, wages will be decreased, hard times will come upon us and over the land the price of wheat will go down and the price of gold will go up: mortgages on our homes will be foreclosed by the money lenders; shops and factories will close. We will export no goods and we will import from foreign lands all the goods we use; thus will ruin, want and misery be with us." Under the heading His Prophecy" two hundred Republican pa pers in Kansas are printing this prophecy. However much Prophet Bry- an may hate to have his words thus thrown at him it is not likely that he will attempt any explanation There is none that would relieve him.

Tn Japan the telegraph was first es- tablished in 1869, when line was built between Yokohama and Tokyo by Eng fish engineers. Tn 1873 the government telegraph department was organized. In 1879 the empire joined the Interna- tional Telegraph union. There are now 1.267 offices in Japan proper and 112 in Formosa, and there are 144,570 miles of line in service.

 4 WASHINGTON HORSE 7RdDER


 All the smart horse-traders don't live in New England, though there are perhaps as many of them here to the square mile as there are anywhere. But we haven't heard lately of any New England horse-trader who could give points to Michael McQuade of Washing ton, D. c. WilliamJones, negro farm CT, wanted a horse, and McQuade want ed what money Jones was willing to put into a horse. He sold Jones a sound and willing" animal for $67.50 When he got home Jones went to work, but the horse refused to cooperate. At length Jones turned the horse into his pasture. thinking 1t needed rest. Lat CT there came a heavy rainstorm, thor oughly soaking the animal. When Jones looked upon it next great change seemed to be taking place. The skin of the horse curled outward Close examination revealed patches of calf skin tanned on one side. with the hair left on the other. These had been past ed on the horse to conceal the rubbings of the harness and bare places Jones applied water and finally removed sev- eral large pieces of the calfskin. Then he got out warrant for McQuade.
 It is difficult to see how McQuade is going to come out of this deal with enough not to warrant that the horse would go through a rainstorm without damage to it's appearance.
