PLANS FOR OPENING.
How Drawing Of Indian Lands
VIII BE Conducted.

Ponca City, Ok, June 25--From a re-
liable source has been secured the fol-
lowing outline of the general plan Of
opening the new country as decided on
by the secretary of the interior and
President Mckinley OF course this
must not be understood as official. for
there may be some modification in some
of the less important features. but in
the main this is nearly certain to be
the plan for opening the new reserva-
lions.
The coming proclamation viii notify
all persons who are entitled to home
stead rights that they viii be enrolled
at any land Office in Oklahoma, at
which they. may apply. These applica-
lions, each. designating the particular
county in which the applicant desires

offices to the department at Washing
ton. There a notice to the applicant
will be made out informing him of the
receipt and proper fling of his applica-
ton.
At washington the names Of all these
drawing, similar to the drawing Of
iuries in some states. A separate draw
ing will be had for each of the three
counties The names of the lucky appli-
cants and the numbers they have drawn
will be properly recorded and a notice
to the applicant who may happen to be
thus favored will be sent to him.
No other notices will be sent to anyone.
With this notice will be sent full in
structions as to how to go into the coun-
ty where the applicant proposes to To-
cate his claim and Just how to secure
the number of quarter sections in order
that the applicant may make list
Of the quarters he most desires to select
from when he comes to make his Ming.
A visit to the county is made and the
applicant can make his list of choices.

Office in his particular county

Washington the lucky applicant viii re-
x,orf at the land Office in his particular
county on the day specified in said
notice When his number and name are
called he will announce to the land
Office register his first choice. If Some
previously called applicant has chosen
that same quarter section he will be so
informed and must announce his other
not yet been filed on If for any reason
he is not there to answer to his name
in its numerical order his name will be
again called after o'clock. when he
can take his choice from such lands as
may yet be unclaimed. II he does not
answer during the second day his name
will be dropped to the foot OF the entire
roll for that county and he can have
choice of what is left after every other
applicant shall have been served
This plan will permit applicants to
file their application at the nearest OF
the many Oklahoma land Offices with
the minimum trouble and expense
There will be no necessary and expeIl-
sfve waiting. Every applicant can make
his application and go about his AFFAIRS

GOSSIP OF wADDrrr.
Was Unplaced IN His Last Five Races
Bradley 9 Character.

Cincinnati, June 2S-''virginia" Brad
ley, owner Of Robert Waddell. the Der
by winner, has been a familiar figure on
the turf for years. Back in the old days
of Gutenberg he was famous as the
owner of Blitzen, the iron horse -
which raced every day through mud
snow and ice. Later as the owner Of
Traverser, which finally suceumbed to
the vigorous racing he had to go
through. Last season he campaigned
Boney Boy and Robert Waddel with
considerable success, but employed mis-
old tactics of running them every day
and giving them a workout on Sunday
Beginning on March 80. Wadden has
started in twenty-one races and won
nine. Was second six times. third once
and unplaced five times On some of
his Chicago races he was thought to
have an outside chance for the big Der
by. and especially so by his owner and
he was backed pretty freely in the fu-
ture books at q long price. His last
fve races we're bad ones. as he was un-
placed in every one Of them, and he was
not considered as having chance with
stake horses. being considered nothing
more than a fair platter himself He
showed the fallacy Of that reasoning
by landing the rich stake in handy
fashion.
