Guthrie. 1t II announced that Frank
j. Wikoff, territorial hank examiner,
has rendered his resignation TO Cover
nor Jenkins TO take effect on the first
OF September. There are two reasons
for Mr.. wikof resisning and they are
that on the frst of September he will
become president Of the National Bank
of Commerce at saltwater and the
other reason stated In that the appro-
priation made by the. .lsst legislaturs
for the running Of the Office Of Bank
Commissioner is not adequate enough
to pay the proper expenses Of the Office.
MIR. Wikof will take care Of the open
ing OF the new banks In the Indian
reservation open for settlement and
will return from his Buffalo trip In
time for that. IL was supposed 10 be a
fact that Mr.. Wikoff would be one Of
the Barnes appointees who would be
allowed to hold his Office until the term
expired which Is some time yet In the
future. His appointment was not a
political move.by any means, but his
recognized ability as n business man
had much to do with his selection.
The announcement OF his resignation
comes ms a surprise to his friends who
expected nothing of the kind, but since
he is TO be president OF the National
Bank Of Commerce at saltwater. the
change will not be less beneficial TO
Mr. Wikoff.

TALK OF MARRIAGE.
II IL Proper for the Man, Says This
Asthority. Hut Not for the
Girl.

4 man may remark on his intent ion
To marry at some indefinite future
time. when prudence or other consid.
erations may make II possible, or ad'
visuble. without having. as n rule, Ia
run the gauntlet OF chorus OF i'm.
pertinent and stupid would-be witty
remarks. But should girl he bold
enough, or rather. natural and simple
enough. to say the same thing. what
would be the result? Why, everyone
knows that she would be promptly
sneercd out of countenance, says the
Nineteenth Century. And why? j.
IL immodest for a woman to express q
determination to enter into n state
which we are being continually re-
minded IL natural and honorable
state, while u Is modest and proper
for man to do so? Such distinction
would never he drawn except for the
"cheapness" To which reference has
been made. II a man wants to marry,
he can marry; II the first woman he
asks refuses him. he has only To ask
u second, or perhaps third or fou .'ih.
II would be safe Ia guarantee that
within u month any man of fairly re.
spectacle life and position and ap.
pcarapce who cared to make the eX.
pertinent could marry in his own class
could marry probably n woman much
superior To himself. But what about
the girl who intends to marry "somc
day." Is she not in a very different
position from the man? Here Is u
girl OF good charaeter-much better
than the mans, probably--average in.
telligence, average good looks. The.
oretically, she Is free to marry whom
she will; but Is she? II she receives
one distinct offer of marriage she has
had more than her share, according
to the probable average. The fact
that. by an unwritten law, n woman
must not take, and, indeed, does not
want to take, the initiative, has very
little to do with the extremely limited
choice which modern conditions i'm.
pose upon English women.

Guthrie.-The board OF school land
commissioners held n meeting recently
and elected James !. Houston secre-
tary. Mr.. Houston took the oath and
filed his bond for $4,000. The ques-
tion of leasing the school lands in the
Kiowa and Comanche country was Ia
ken mp and discussed at length. II
was decided that priority Of residence
does not entitle any person to pri-
ority of lease. This will prevent con-
tests such as have been common over
the claims in the territory previously
thrown open to settlement The board
decided to put n corps Of appraisers
into the field at once to examine the
sections and quarter sections of school
land for the purpose of ascertaining
their rental value.
