PRESIDENTS CONDITION
Gives Every Promise al Present OF
Speedy Recovery.

Milburn House, Buffalo, n. y,
Sent. 1O.-It was 1l:20 o'clock to-
night when the physicians emerg-
ed from the house where President
Mckinley lies. They had been in
consultation an hour and fifty min
utes and announced TO the waiting
newspaper men that the presi-
dents condition was unchanged In
every particular.
When the operation was per
for med last Friday it was noticed
that small piece of the presidents
coat had been carried short dis
tance under the skin. A slight ir-
ritation resulted and the wound
was reopened tonight and the frag-
ment removed without difficulty.
The president is now well en-
ough to take nourishment by the
mouth ia the form Of pure beef
Juice. His condition is 60 favor
able to speedy recovery that the
members of the cabinet have ex-
pressed their intentions OF return
ing home.
The physicians expect to re-
move the president to Washington
with three weeks.

EAST WILL OPPOSE
Any Effort TO Make Two States
From the Territories, Says
The Senator, and it Would
be Hopeless Fight Against
the Opposition.

Senator Burton waslooking over
the political field in Oklahoma
yesterday and delayed figuring up
the probable political status of that
uncertain territory after it's admis-
sion into statehood. long enough
to give the following on the chances
of the Indian territory for the
coveted statehood:
"The relation which the Indian
Territory bears to the matter makes
it somewhat complicated ques-
Ition." replied the senator. "If
some satisfactory arrangement
could be made with respect to that
country so as to make the lines
run over to the Arkansas boun-
dary, the solution would be simple
and shortly forthcoming.
$50 far as / am concerned !
would be very glad to make two
states here If II could be done, one
composed Of Oklahoma and the
other the nations OF the five civil
lized tribes, but / do not believe
the eastern portion Of the country
will ever consent to lhis. Not but
what we have a good country here,
but we have had some mountain
states very thinly populated.
Their population would be sufi-
cIent az the time Of admission and
few years afterward dwindle con-
sidersbly instead Of gaining in the
number Of Inhabitants. Ny opin-
ion is shat the best plan would be
to make state of oklahoma now
and later take in the country COM
prised of the five civilized tribes
81 believe the feeling here is
strong for single statehood, but
over there / believe most of the
people would favor double state
hood. However the more intelli-
gent citizens Of that section recog-
nize that double statehood is i'm
practical, hence | do not think
statehood can be accomplished in
that way"

SUIT INSTITUTED
By District Attorney Against Three
Companies Operating in New
Field Which is Claimed to be
Part of National Lands OF the
Greek Nation.

Three suits affecting the validity
of title to the valuable oil lands
near Red Fork, were filed in the
United States court this morning.
The actions are brought in the
name of the United States and
three OF the principal companies
are named a. defendants.
The complaint sets forth that
the defendant companies "have
unlawfully made settlement on
lands there and then belonging,
and the belonging secured and
granted by treaty to the Creek
tribe Of Indians, x y and have
erected thereon derrick and
other structures without any legal
authority therefor. Wherefore
said plaintiffs pray judgment
against said defendants for the pen
atty OF the sum Of one thousand
dollars against each of said de-
PENDANTS and costs Of ,his action. |"
The companies named and their
locations are as follows:
w. S. Wick. J. G. Heydrick, $.
". quarter OF section %. township
10, range u, east Indian meridian.
Guy BlackweIder, j. J. Novak,
Phoenit Oil aud Gas company, s.
W. quarter Of section %. in town
ship 10, range u, eaat Indian
meridian.
Red Fork Oil and Gas company.
S.-W. quarter Of section %. town
ship 10, range II. east Indian mer-
idian.
The suits are baeed on the al
legged location OF the wells within
the corporate limits of the town of
Red Fork. Such unlawful occu-
pancy is punishable by fine Of
81 900.
As the oil companies were thor
oughly conversant with the law an
interesting case is expected, ss
they have implied at different
times that the law was faulty as
applied to Red Fork.
Some unique points are, as con-
sequence, expected to be raised by
the attorneys for the companies,
who will bitterly contest the effort
to remove them from the rich
fields.

COSMOPOLITAN HONOLULU.
Judge Wilcox Daily Listens to Evidence
in Many Languages.

The cosmopolitan character Of
Honolulu's population was strikingly
shown IN Judge Wilcox court On two
recent mornings. Out Of 20 different
cases no less than six different Ian
guages had to be interpreted. aWell,

This remark, says the Honolulu
Star, was much nearer the real condi-
ton than the majority Of its hearers
appreciated. At that time no less
than six different interpreters werein
court waiting to translate the tes-
timony of the various witnesses.
There were Chinese, japanese, Hawai-
ian, Portuguese, German and Porto
Rican witnesses and defendants who
had to give their testimony, and six
different men were required to inter-
pret The evidence TO the courts and at
torneys.
The next day there were Greeksand
Galicians who were up for trial, and
several weeks ago a Russian witness
had to be examined. Capt. Sam
johnson had to be asked to act as in
terpreter to the Russian.
With the advent Of the Porto Ri
cans q regular Spanish interpreter
will probably have to be secured. The

these sallies fail to score he is glum

about him.
This beautiful spot on your right,
he cried, the other day, is the prids

idents have been on the lookout for
signs Of a bonfire somewhere in the
precincts Of the castle, for in past
times, when any chairs and tables and
other articles therein were con-
demned, it was the practice to have
them burned. The object Of this was
to prevent pieces Of furniture stamped
with the queen monogram from be-
ing let loose, asit were, and SO allowed
to drift into the hands Of brokers, and
thence into the possession Of persons
having no right to them, but willing
to pay almost any price to be able to
display such royal articles in their
own houses 1t was a wasteful ex-
pedient, but one can understand the
need Of such precaution. There
have been SO many instances Of royal

found in shops and stores that some
means Of prevention are quite neces-
sary. But up to the present time
there have been no indications Of a

A COLLEGE EDUCATION.

The Kind of Young Man That It will
Materially Benefit.
| For the great majority of men a col
lege course is Of inestimable value.
For minority, it is worse than use
less. How shall a boy determine to
which Of these classes he belongs?
A good college offers a student three
things: theoretical knowledge of
principles connected with his busi-
ness, breadth Of general culture, and
friendships that are Of service to him
now and hereafter. Hhe appreciates
these things, and can take them seri-
onsly, collegeisa good place for him.
If he cannot thus appreciate at least
one Of them, he would better not go to
college at all.
None of these things can be played
with. They must all be achieved By
hard Worl-none the less hard be-
cause it is SO often pleasurable.
If a boy thinks that the study Of
theory is short and easy way for the
attainment of practical skill, he is
grayely mistaken. 1t is quite apart
from practical skill, and its results
show themselves more in the later
stages of the students DEVELOPMENT
than they do when he first goes into
the office or the shop. The theory Of
mechanics or Of physics is not to be.
studied by lectures and experiments.
It means knowledge Of analytical ge-
ometry and the differential calculus,
The theory Of chemistry is not to be
learned Ry amusement in. the labora-
tory, bui BY attention to dry princi-
pies which require the utmost exacti-
tude Of application. The theory of
political economy is MOTTO be learned
by the reading Of entertaining books
and magazine articles. A student
who would really master it must un-
derstand the principles. Of law and
ethics which are more difficult than
those which he meets in the routine of

Young Man Should Remember Little

Managers Of large institutions and
business houses tell US that they re-
ject q great many applications from

letter are reliable indications Of the
character Of the writer. A negligent
letter with careless sentences and in
accurate expressions, indicates an in
different mind. The structure Of the
sentences shows the texture Of the
mind which uses them. As rule, a
neatly written letter, with well con-
strueted sentences containing con-
else and pointed expressions, indi-
Gates careful and systematic mind.
A loose-jointed letter shows careless
ness in the choice Of words to express
a thought, and signifies d loosely con-
structed mind which would be care
less in everything. These would APP
pear to be small things, but trif1es
