KIOWA LAND OPENING.
Oklahoma Strip Rush Not to Be Made
Prior to Spring.

Washington, Oct. Letters received
By officials of the land and Indian bu-
reaus indicate that great interest is felt
by southwestern people in the coming
opening to settlement of the KioWa, Co
manche and Apache reservation These
letters indicate, also, that misinforma-
tiOn prevails as TO this important mat
ter the time of opening and qualifica-
tiOns OF intending settlers.
The kiowa, Comanche and Apache
reservation is situated in Oklahoma; not
in the Indian Territory. It is not to be
opened TO white settlement in October
or November. While the date cannot be
set precisely in advance of the presi-
dents proclamation, the land officials
expect that il viii be opened some time
next spring, perhaps about April l. In
advance of the date set for opening, no
white persons, other than federal Off
Gals engaged In making ARRANGEMENTS
for settlement viii be permitted to enter
the reservation. This work now being
done there relates to aliOtments to the
Indians. completing surveys, etc.
The act of congress providing for set
tlemenr of this reservation was passed
June last. Six months. or until De-
cember 8, We're allowed for completing
allotments- There is little possibility of
the proclamation being issued by that
date Within six months after Decem-
her g. however, entries must be com
nenced- No settlements can be made
by outsiders prior to the date fixed bv
the proclamation. Nothing Will be gain
ed by intending settlers trying to enter
sooner Claims viii be prejudiced by
such action.
In relation to all the tracts. heretofore
opened TO settlement in Oklahoma ex-
cept the public land strip" it has been
provided that any person entering upon
and occupying any particular tract prior
70 tns date fixed by the proclamation
should never be permitted to enter any
OF those lands OF acquire any rights to
them. Similar provision viii be made
in this case.
The free-hOmes law recently passed bv
congress does not apply to these lands.
That related only to lands already open
ed to settlement.
Numerous inquiries are made of the
interior department as to the procedure
qualifications Of homesteaders, etc THE
mineral laws OF the United States have
not yet been fully extended to this res

available yet as to that class of lands
Ample notice concerning them viii be
given hereafter by the secretary OF the
interior.
OF the 100000 acres subject to white
settlement, 100000 are set apart for
grazing lands for the Indians, to be Sc
lected in one or more tracts by the sec
retary as shall best suit the Indians. In
addition, sections 13, 16, and SO in each
township are reserved for Indian school
purposes. The balance OF the z, 600 900

A SEVERED HEAD.

BUT ONE CLUE LEFT
To the Identity of the MUIR
derer's Victim.
A Silver TOOthplate With Two
Teeth Attached.
BUT ONE CLUE LEFT

Chicago, Oct. IA silver tooth plate,
to which two false incisors of the upper
jaw were wired, is the only clew to the
identity of the severed human head that
was found tied in a grain sack in Cedar
lake, just across the Indiana state line.
Identification of the victim of the sup
posed murderer by means of the head is
absolutely impossible, so far as recog-
nizing the features are concerned. be-
cause the head was packed in quick lime
before being thrown into the lake and
the features were destroyed by the ac-
ton of the chemical. The only hope of
getting a clew to the mystery is that the
dentistry work may be recognized by
some dentist.
The head bids fair to furnish a muir
der mystery as famous as the Gulden-
suppe case in New York.

TO PAY ROYALTIES.
Actor Richard Mansfield Called on to
Settle Up.

New York, Oct. Elizabeth Marbury,
who is the representative of several
French and English authors in this
country, including Edmond Rostrand of
Paris Of CyranO de Bergerac fame. has
through her counsel, A. H. HEmme1,
brought an action in the supreme court
against Richard Mansfield for an ac-
counting Of the gross receipts of the
performances OF the play "Cyrano de
Bergerac'' in this country, in order that
4 settlement may be made as to the
amount of royalties due. 1t il said that
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr- Mans
field knew this was not protected by
copyright. he nevertheless, made an
agreement with M Rostand in the
month of March, 1898. in order to get the
original French production, FOR the pay
ment Of royalties for each performance
in this country.
Under tbs agreement made It is as
serted, it is provided that Mr.. Mansfield
shall pay $1,000 in advance of the royal
ties, further sum Of per cent on the
first $4,000 gross receipts and 10 per cent
on all sums exceeding $4,000. He agreed,
II is added. OF supply weekly statements
of the gross receipts of his productions
in this country, make weekly payments
of the royalties and send box Office
statements. This, it IS alleged, he has
not done
M. Rostand agreed in January. 1899, It
is claimed, that the amount of royalties
to be paid should be reduced to per
cent on the gross receipts. It is alleged
that he has failed to make any state
ment of the gross receipts and has not
paid the 3 per cent required.
His payments ceased on February 25.
1899, since which time no royalties have
been paid 70 NJ. Rostand He assigned
his claim to the royalties to Miss Mar
bury, who. after consultation with Mr.
Hummel, brought her action in the su-
preme court and asks judgment for such
an amount as may be found to be due
her at the rate Of per cent of the gross
receipts.
lit is claimed there was about SIS, 600
due at the time the payments stopped
entirely, and that now fully $4,000 is
involved in the cause Of action The
papers in the case were served upon

PARTY SHORT on FUNDs.
Republican Committee il Desperate
for Campaign Money.

Chicago. Oct. LIT IS now becoming
clearly apparent that the Republican ma
tional committee is desperate for cam
paign funds. and that Senator Hanna's 5
efforts TO make collections in the east
have signaly failed Hanna is due in
Chicago today. and it is understood that
the Immediate plans of the Republican
ne tiOnal committee relate chiefly TO the
western states. 1t was reported TINS
morning that the clerical force of the Re
publican committee is complaining bit
terly of Republican poverty and that
thirteen men have been discharged be-
cause of lack of funds. still later re
port related to plan to discharge forty
more men. but the official ak was stayed
for fear of an open scandal In the ranks
of the employees of the Republican ma
tiOnal committee.
From Information which has accumu-
lated in the last week it appears that the
prosperity" issue in the western states
IS the only issue that bodies fair to even
measurable success ana that the Repub-
ican committee is prepared to make its
fight in the Rocky Mountain states. KAN
sas. Nebraska and the Dakotas.
The testimony of Democratic officials
has prepOnderated toward the theory that
the Republican committee is being con-
Jinually harassed for lack Of funds and
that il is experiencing great difficulty in
handling workers who object to low
prices and are suspicious that they are
rot receiving a fair quota of the supposed
