SOCIETY. "aoop" AND "BEsr."
w. ID. Howells Tells why Dspew's Dream.
Cannot Come True.

senator Depew recently expressed
h wish that the exclusive millionaire
society OF New York might mingle
with the society OF genius-that the
men n women Of exaggerated in
comes might consort with the men and
women OF Ideas and intellectual or
artistic achievement. He thought 1t
would be a good thing for both classes.
Mr.. Howells says such a mingling of
social oil and water can never take
place, and he devotes his Easy Chair
article in the July Harper's to showing
why Mr.. DepeW's dream can never
come true.
Mr.. Howells calls the plutocratic
-Four Hundred good society" while he
calls artists, authors, scientists, jurists
and like unfa shionable persons the
best society," The reason why the
good" and the best" never can mix
is that neither desires the company Of
the other. Plutocracy takes no real
interest in the achievements of litera-
ture. art and science, or In the persons
who create such works. Their stand
ard of merit is wealth, and all who
canno play the game Of wealth ac-
cording to the rules of plutocratic con-
vention are I'm an inferior class In their
eyes. Genius does not care to go where
It Is ranked as inferior to wealthy stu
plulLy. II uOeS HOt WISH TO frequent
circles in which its achievements are
neither known nor appreciated and
where 1t is tolerated only in a patron
iZing way.
Even If 1t were to become good
form" to invite authors, scholars and
men of genius TO the functions Of ex-
elusive society on equal terms, the plan
would not work. The best society"
would hesitate to accept the hospitality
of high society" because 1t could not
repay the debt in kind. since 1t has not
the thousands to spend on lavish dis
plays, and would not care to spend
them in this a II 1t a them. Be-
sides, genius dislikes the rigors Of con-
venticn tina must be observed at such
functions. 1t is not merely the get
ting of ones body in evening dress,
but, as Mr.. Hovells says, lone must
put ones soul into evening dress and
ones thoughts and opinions"

The Frisco Railroad.

The Madill News contains the
following:
Mr.. Soper, attorney for the
Frisco, talked to business men of
Madill Monday and made positive
statements in reference to the con-
pletion of the line.
The railroad survey, known as
the Arkansas & Choctaw, running
east and west through the Indian
Territory via Madill, has been
bought by the Frisco company,
who will commence the grading for
the new road at very early date.
Mr.. Soper, the Northern district
attorney for the Frisco, while in
Madill, talked very freely of the
purpose Of the Frisco people, and
indicated that a few weeks would
probably witness the letting Of the
contract for building the road
which would be pushed to compile
ton as fast as contractors could
move dirt. The Frisco officials
have been over the survey and are
quoted as saying that they are well
pleased with the route and the
country through which it ruus,
and believe it will be one Of the
best roads in the Territory, in as
much as it runs through the best
country and brings the coal fields
and the lumber districts withiI
easy access 20 each other.

Burwell this morning overruled
the motion to quash and set
aside the indictment against Asa
G. Sharpe, ex-Indian agent OF
the Ponca and Otoe Indians,
holding that the evidence was
sufficient before the grand jury
to sustain it, and that the ir-
regularities in the drawing and
empaneling were immaterial.
The attorneys for the defen-
dant then filed a demurrer, the
argument of Judge Bierer, Hen
ry Scott and Speed, which has
occupied the entire day.
The count took the same un-
der advisement until o'clock
tomorrow, at which time he
will rule thereon.

APPRAISEMENT COMPLETED.
Agricultural Lands Appraised-Dawes
Commission Win Complete Rolls.

Muskogee, /. T., May %. -.
Henry c. kessler, appraiser in
chief Of appraising camp No. T..
which has been working in the
Choctaw nation appraising lands,
was in the city last night. Asked
as TO how the work of land ap-
praising in the Indian Territory is
progressing, Mr.. Kessler said:
We have just completed the
appraising of the agricultural
lands in the Choctaw nation.
Camp No. II has been located
about thirty miles from Muskogee
The completion of appraisement
of agricultural lands in the Choc-
taw nation completes the appraise-
ment of all agricultural lands in
the FIVE civilized tribes excepting
in the Cherokee nation, where sew
enteen camps are now located APP
praising lands. These seventeen
camps are fast finishing up the ap
praisement of Indian agricultural
lands, and their work will be com
pleted by August /
THE timber appraisers are now
working in the timber belt in the
Choctaw nation. The Choctaw
country has a great deal of fine
timber lands, and these are being
appraised separately from the agri-
cultural lands Six camps are at
work on this class OF lands and it
is expected that these camps will
finish their work by September |.
When these appraising camps have
finished their work it will complete
the work of the Dawes commission
preparatory to allotment OF lands
to the Indians.
The Dawes commission is now
working hard to complete the rolls
in the Cherokee and Creek nations,
the rolls of the Seminoles having
long ago been completed and allot-
ments of lands now in progressA
The rolls in the Chickasaw and
Choctaw nations have been practi-
cally completed, ready for allot-
ment, but the supplemental treaty
made between the Chickasaw Choc
taw commissioners aud the Dawes
commission having failed of ratifi-
cation by congress, the rolls in
these nations have not been closed
and cannot be closed. therefore al
lotment cannot proceed, The gov
ernors of the Chickasaw nation
and the Choctaw nation are trying
to get an agreement for the clos
ing of the rolls, so that this mat
ter may be finally disposed of and
the allotme lands may proceed
as early as possible.
1t is the aim of the Dawes
commission and the officials of the
Chickasaw and Choctaw nations
to get the rolls finally closed by
September l or October l, at the
latest, after which time it is hoped
that all these details may be closed
and allotment may proceed not
later than November |.

TONS OF FOOD.
Bids Invited for Feeding the Soldiers
Of the Northwest.

Bids Invited for Feeding the Soldiers
of the Northwest.
One hundred and twenty tons of po
tatOes. 12 tons of onions and 1874 tons
of fresh beef and mutton are asked by
the government to form part only
of the foodstuffs it's soldiers in the de
partment Of Dakota will eat during the
coming year Colonel George E
Pond asked for bids Tuesday at ST..
Paul that will be opened May 10, and
other supplies will be contracted for
during the next few months.
Some idea of the immensity of the
contract the government wishes is
gained by considering that 10 busnels
VI l..s,so~s, ouU pounds, will supper
an average family during winter, and
that two pounds of meat day is lib
eral allowance for even large family
says the Pioneer Press. The gov
ernment does not entertain the com
mon antipathy against onions, and il
this respect allows it's soldiers the
doubtful privilege of eating all they
| want.
OF the provisions to be contracted
for Fort Snelling's garrison will con
sumo 33 tons of beef and mutton, 2
IL tons of onions and 25 tons of pota
toes during the year The garrison
at Fort Yellowstone will eat Is tons
of meat; at Fort Yates II tons;
Fort Keogh 25 tons; at Fort Meade
| S d., IS tons; at Fort Harrison, l
tons, and at Fort Assinaboine 10 tons
Every pound of foodstuffs will be
passed upon by an army officer or an
employe of the quartermaster's depart
ment before it is accepted at the sta
tions where it is to be used. In case
the supplies fall short of the specif1
cations, the government rejects then
and refuses to pay for even the trans
portation charges.

IMPROVING THE LINE.
Great Northern Has Extensive Work
On Hand,


On Hand.
The Great Northern's western inn
provements will be completed in the
main during the present season. It
was stated yesterday at headquarters
that the immense task of changing
the line westward from Havre, cut
ting curves and reducing grades, upon
which thousands and thousands of dol
lars have been spent, is nearly com
pleted, says the Pioneer Press.
Before the snow flies the new cut
off into Great Falls will be completed
and a section of line containing heavy
grades eliminated from the system.
The improvements at Spokane are
being hastened to completion. A con-
tract for the new depot at that point
has been let and the expensive con.
struction in running a line through
the city across the river at several
points is being fastened to a close.
Plans said to involve the further
expenditure of vast sums in track i'm
provements are under consideration
but none has yet been ordered put
into effect. Construction work in
Minnesota during the present season
will be largely of an unimportant ma
ture.
