Bl Reno, Ok, July 0 The
failure Of President Mckinley TO
permit registration at all land of.
fees in Oklahoma has provoked
much complaint. II was agreed
at one time that registration could
be made at all Oklahoma land Of.
fees, and Delegate Dennis T.
Flynn, who was in Washington
when the matter was discussed, is
unable to understand why the
plans we're changed. Acting upon
the request Of Oklahoma City,
Perry, Guthrie aud other land Of.
fee towns, Delegate Flynn ap.
psnled by telegraph last night to
the interior department a, Wash
ington, asking that all land Of
fees be given authority to accept
registration. His request will be
supplemented by kilograms from
ciVzens in the different towns As
tho matter stands now El Reno

Two negro whisky introduoers.

wounded in a battle with Deputy

Sunday morning. The men
were returning from Southwest

who was searching for them.
They immediately reached for
their guns, bu, before Nelson, who
was armed with a shotgun, could

shattered his arm with a shot from
his Winchester.

and be miserable all alone. He is my

not word. I like playing best, for
then I can almost imagine that he is
listening. But when stop playing and

one answers. l whisper 1t; still no an
swer. l throw myself on the ground,
and I say, "Think Of me, think of me:
you shall; you must; you do think of
me-" 1t is great torture and a great
despair. Perhaps 1t is a madness too.
But 1t is my way of loving. l want to

The "CameI,s Hairo Brush.

Contrary to the belief of most peo-
pie, the cancels hair brush used by art
lists has nothing of the camel in it,"
said manufacturer of soft brushes to
a writer the other day. There was a
time when real camels hair was used
for the purpose. The ship Of the des-
ert, however, has long been superseded
by the homely little squirrel. Not only
is squirrels hair very much less costly,
but 1t is better, softer, more pliable and
far more durable. At the present day
1t Is doubtful II you could find pound
OF camers hair in all the brush facto-
ries In this country. However. there is
no cause for fear that the graceful lit
tie squirrel will be exterminated. 1t is
the European squirrel that furnishes
the hair for the brushes, the covering
Of the American squirrel being too fur
~ and soft for the purpose. Wash

she called old Ireland home. The con-

The kind lady with the sweet face

After making these payments any
one can run a bus in London wherever
he likes, subject of course to the gen.

bus is a stud of II horses, Of which on
ly ten, or five pairs, are worked in any
one day, thus securing a complete days
rest for each pair every sixth day. As
bus runs "a miles day and five
pairs of horses are used 1t follows that

less, than three hours, the rate at
which he travels being between FIVE
and six miles an hour.
This does not seem great deal to
exact from horse, still the work is
hard, often involving prolonged dead

harder by necessitating continual devil
