A young man giving the name of
William Loessie, appeared at the Lack

o'clock and said that he had been shot
I'm the arm by stray bullet while
standing on Bald Mount in the after

He said that the bullet undoubtedly
came from some hunters who were in

wound, which was in the left arm. and
managed to extract the bullet after
some little difficulty. Loessie then left
the hospital without giving any infor-
nation as to where he lived.

THE NATIONAL FLOWER.
Leading Florists Think the CaTnatIon
Entitled TO That Honor.

Joliet, ILL.,, May 29.-The idea of
making the carnation the national
flower, a plan favored by President
Mckinley, finds advocates among the
expert florists here. The summer
home of Harlow N. Higinbotham on
the outskirts of this city is the head
quarters OF the Chicago Carnation
Company, and just now it is resplen-
dent with acres of carnations, the
fragrance of which perfume the air
for miles.
Hundreds of car loads of earn nations
are sent from here to Chicago every
year. James Hartshorn, the chief
florist and manager of the institution,
is making many important expert
ments in hybridizing carnations.
"The credit for the evolution OF
the carnation belongs exclusively to
America, %" he said to-day. He thinks
this should count in it's favor when a
national flower is chosen.

sample of their notion of achieving

fax Tribune whose editor writes and
prints just what the Des Moines
Leader or Des Moines Capital dictates

who do not agree with 1t on this burn
ing question:
"All who oppose Mr.. Cummins are
the puppets in the sideshow of this
great political aggregation, and
whatthey say amounts to just about
as much. They are tail-enders of
the party, the sniveling, driveling,
riffraff who do not have sufficient
manhood to assert their own con-

BAR "FAKEn PUBLICATIONS.
Chicago Record Herald: "Now that
it is definitely known that the pro-
posed ruling of Third Assistant Post
master General Madden affecting pre-
MUM publications would deprive only
the fake publications of second-class
mail privileges it should havesthe un-
qualified support of all thellegitimate
publishing interests in the country.
The phraseology of the circular sent
out by Mr.. Madden led to al misap-
prehension regarding the scope of the
proposediruling. 1t was feared that
it might affect all publications which
offered any Inducements of.any kind
to subscribers, ruling that would
work a great hardship upon many
vested interests.
The ruling contemplated by Mr..
Madden, however, would effect only
the fake publications which, depend
entirely uponIpremiums forItheir list
of subscribers" Theirpublications
are not taken on their merits. Sub
scribers are secured only by offering
q premium that Is much more valu.
able than the published subscription
price of the periodical. In fact, the
subscription price is merely nominal.
Under such policy it is very clear
that the subscriber" does;not sub
scribe for the publication; he,merely
subscribes for the premium. A sub
scription list secured in this way is
not legitimate list of subscribers"
under an honest Interpretation of the
postal laws and is not entitled to the
pound rates.
BY offering premiums that are sew
eral times the value of the nominal
subscription price some of these pub
locations have bought big "circula-
tions," which, of course, Eappeal to
certain classes of advertisers, land the
government is hauling hundreds of
tons of such advertising periodicals
of second-class rates.
OF course the interests that will be
affected by the ruling are making
strenuous efforts to array all the pub
fishers against it under the represent
alton that it is aimed at all publica-
tions which offer premiums of any
slEind to subscribers. Legitimate pub
fishers, however, will not be deceived.
They will heartily endorse any ruling
that will debar from secondhand
privileges all publications that depend
entirely upon premiums for their cir
culation."

The committee on judiciary OF
the United Presby terian General as
sembly, in it's report regarding secret
organizations, says:
"It is especially obligatory upon
Christians to stand aloof from So
cieties which by their moral teach
ings and religious ritual foster a
belief in the Suitability of men
apart from the mediation of Christ.
We condemn such organizations as
demoralizing to our Lord, and in.
furious to men, and persons, who,
with knowle dge of the truth con-
cerning them, adhere to such as
sociations shall not be received into
church membership. All such
societies are included in the phase
of testimony inconsistent with the
genius and spirit of Christianity.

OKLAHOMA.

According to a bulletin issued by
the census department Oklohoma
now has a population of 39S,245 and
is as much entitled to be state as a
half dozen of her sisters that might
be named. Oklahoma is larger, for
instance, than North Dakota, Utah,
Vermont, Delaware or Wyoming, and
it is not strange that she is knocking
at the door and asking to be admit
ted to the Union as state. Okla
homa has had a most remarkable
growth. Organized as territory in
1890, it had at that time population
of but 81, 1884 but now it is the most
populous of American territories and
has the record of having increased
it's population 400 per cent in a de-
cade. A friend of the territory, in
an article to the New York Sun calls
attention to the fact that it is twice
as large as New Mexico, has three
times the population of Arizona and
has 100000 more people than the Dis
trict of Columbia. In January a
convention was held at Guthrie and
the agitation for admission as state
was given fresh impetus at that
meeting that resulted in calling the
attention of the whole country to the
fact that a great commonwealth had
grown up without our realizing the
fact. Last year the territory pro-
duced 100000 bushels Of wheat
and 10 900, 900 bushels of corn, and
cotton, fax and fruits in immense
quantities. The territory is great in
every way, and it's people seem to be
we'll justified in demanding state
hood. Those opposed to its admis-
sion as a state can say nothing
against it, except that it's admission
would form precedent and the In
dian Territory would probably ask
the same recognition. The Indian
Territory has 891 900 people. Okla
homa's vote last fall aggregated 75,-
900 while Delaware's was only Al 600,
Rhode Islands $4,000, Vermont's 55,-
600 and North Dakota's $4,000.

st. Louis will please take note
that it is less than two years till the
opening of the Worlds Fair in that

ahead of her, and that two years is a
shorter time for the same amount of
work to be done than has ever been
accomplished by any international
exposition. If she expects the full
aid and assistance of the Mississippi
Valley states she will have to get a
move on her and begin to make the

0SKALOOSA'S OPPORTUNITY.

If the people of Oskaloosa could be
made to realize the immensity of the
new mining plant at Buxton, and the
fact that the field is good for 100 years
at the present output, they would be
more concerned about the construc-
ton of an electric road TO this source
of trade. There is no doubt that ar
rangemeuts could be made for the
operation of cars over the North
western tracks from the Des Moines
river to Buxton, hence it would be
necessary to build a new line to the
river only. With from 800 to 1000
people at Buxton and several good
towns between there and Oskaloosa,
the road would be paying invest
ment, and the revenue that would
come to Oskaloosa could not be over
estimated.
At present there are 15O houses at
Buxton, and the material is on the
ground for 100 more which will be
built this summer. Fully fifty old
houses will be moved from Muchaki-
mock, 80 that by fall there will be 300
houses there. The town lr ssents a
very busy appearance, as in addition
to the new houses, a hotel, barber
shop, three churches and an opera
house are under construction. The
immense new store of W. A. Wells &
90. is now in full swing, and bank
will soon be opened to be known as
the Bank of Buxton.
The office of the Consolida alton Coal
Co. has just been completed and is
neat and commodious. The men were
paid from the new Office for the first
time last Saturday. Number 10 shaft
is now working full time, and the
machinery is being delivered for No
IL. These two will do the work for
the next two years, or until No. at
Muchakinock is exhausted when No.
II will be opened. When the three
shafts are opened there will be from
900 to 1000 men at work. There is
no large town near Buxton and Os-
kaloosa should have the trade. If
our people are wise they will never
allow the proposed electric street car
enterprise to falter. 1t means more
to Oskaloosa in business way than
any other thing in sight.

SPELLING

The Knoxville Express comments
on the fact that in Poweshiek county
where the superintendent sent list
of 40 words to the teachers of the
various schools with a request that
pupils be required to write the words
from dictation, and in response $50
papers we're sent in. OF these % had
all the words correctly spelled while
in all 1877 errors were made or an
average of over 20 to the pupil and
the superintendent reports that son
the whole the report for the county
is very good" indicating that the
standard for spelling in that locality
is, to say the least, not very high. In
closing its remarks the Express has
this to say.N
A "whole lot" of spelling Is of
far more practical value to boy
or girl all through life than little
music, and little drawing, and a
little botany, and a little zoology,
even with smattering of Latin
and a pinch Of Greek thrown In.

sented regardless as to what office
drawn on. The system has proved
impracticable, expensive, cumber-
some and unsatisfactory.

OUR BIRDS,

The What Cheer Patriot says:
Just at present there are about a
hundred boys in this town who,
armed with air rifles and "nigger
shooters" are making a war of ex-
termination on the song birds. Go
outside the city limits any time and
you will see boys slipping along the
hedges watching for bird on it's
nest which they may practice their
Workmanship on and many are the
songsters that die at their hands. The
Lacey bird bill is a most commend.
able measure and the good resultant
from the enforcement of it is in
calculable, yet thousands of boys
and sometimes thoughtless men are
constantly violating it. Many per-
sons are shocked and grieved at the
slaughter of song birds, yet they do
not wish to incur the i'll will of
parents of these thoughtless boys by
prosecuting them. The day will yet
come when a birds life will be
deemed of more value than merely a
target for juvenile practice"
What is true of the What Cheer
neighborhood is an existing condi-
dition in almost all parts of the state.
Many of the species of birds once so
plentiful in this section are rapidly
disappearing altogether and if the
present lamentable slaughter con-
tinues it will be but few years at
least until they have vanished. The
pretty little blue bird, one of springs
earliest messengers, is very rarely
seen hereabout. The cat bird, once
so common in Mahaska timer lands
and one of our prettiest songsters is
becoming rare visitor. The brown
thrush and the Wilson, thrush,
formerly to be foundIin every bush
of the Mahaska county woodlands,
are rapidly thinning out. The saucy
little house wren and the busy little
summer warbler are fast becoming
strangers in the hauDts that once
we're busy with their pretty ways.

The Buffalo Exposition Exposi-
tion has caused the question to be
asked, ''what does the prefix Pan
mean?" The dictionary declares
that it means "all." In it you will
find "pan" derived from Greek pas
(pant) all. A combining form found
in words of Greek origin and used
also before English proper adjectives
as Pan-American, Pan-Presbyterian,
embracing all Americans, or all Pres
byterians.
