NOT DELAYED.

Topeka, Kans., May, 27.-The
reports printed a day or two ago in
which it was alleged that the open
ing Of the new Indian country was
TO be delayed, are not believed by
those best situated to understand
such matters.
In the press dispatches it was
stated that Lone wolf, an Indian
caief, had made threats that the
country should not be opened to
the whites at tile expected time.
II this Indian cheif be correctly
represented, it is probable that he
has made a statement which he viii
not be able to sustain. For it is
not likely that the United States
government has endeavored to hast
en- matters any by violation Of an
Indian treaty. The autl critics in
Washington and a great number Of
white settlers who have been in the
Kiowa and Comanche country for
years are TO be credited with better
judgement than any such charge

true or not that the stockmen are

printed in Wednesdays paper re-
garding a probable delay Of from
one to three years more.
The work OF preparing for the
opening this summer is gong on
the same as ever, according TO the
latest reports. The corps of Rock
Island surveyors which has been at
work making the re-survey Of the
lands at last reports was expected
to finish It's task somewhere near
near tie frst.of June. after which
the other preliminaries for the
opening were to be cleared up with
in tbe next two months, This
event is being watched by a great

especially here IN Kansas. To sach
the announcement that there is no.
likely to be any delay in throwing
open these lands is welcome as fol-

They Don't Care For Dress.

Though Wall street men dress we'll as
a rule. the brokers who do most Of their
work on the floors of the several ex-
changes seem at times like mobs OF ''ole
clo'es" men. Antique coats, rumpled
and rusty, are the rule-any old thing
that will stand the strain of much elbow
ing and some pulling and hauling. Later
in the day these men make themselves
more presentable. 1t Is only while they
are busy with the gymnastics Of buying
and selling that they are a disreputable
looking lot. One must go, though, to the
New York real estate salesroom to see
the choicest specimens Of ancient and
sorry attire. There you may look on
men who. If they wished, could array
themselves in the finest of garments and
come and go in automobiles. but they do
not care for that sort Of thing. They can
read their titles clear to lots and houses;
they are at the real estate auction room
with money in their pockets ready to take
title to more lands. Why need they
care for dress New York Sun.

AN ANEsTHETIc SAFE.
Queer Product of an Inventor of the
OIden Times.

81 ran across a queer old relic In my
line of business recently" said safe
and lock expert who is in the city. Il
was providing around a machine shop in
a town in Iowa, trying to find fitting
that l needed, when happened to notice
q sheet iron box which seemed to have
once been entirely covered with glass
tubes attached to the surface by cement.
All Of the tubes were broken, and most
Of them were missing, but the general ar
rangement could be easily traced, and the
Continuance impressed me at once with
sense Of familiarity. Presently | remem-
bered about it. 1t was all that was left
of the one time famous 'annsthetic safe
an invention which ought to have been
sponsored by a society for the prevention
Of cruelty TO burglars. The idea of the
thing was that any cutting or drilling
through the outer casing should release
certain chemicals which would promptly
stuppfy everybody in range Of their
fumes. In the merning the owner would
find his valuables intact and could simply
call dray and pack off the unconscious
burglars to Jail.
with such a device it was unnecessa-
ry to have massive steel walls. and the
model which l CHANGED TO resurrnct was
made of one-eighth inch sheet iron. The
inner box was entirely surrounded with
glass tubes about the diameter of a lead
pencil and filled alternately with two
chemicals which were supposed to pro-
duce Supplying gas when they came into
contact. There was Il thin outside cas-
ing and the theory was that any effort
to break in would necessarily fracture
two or moro Of the fragile glasses. 1t
seemed incredible, but several prominent
capitalists became greatly interested In
the scheme and stood ready to back it
with unlimited means until actual tests
finally convinced them of its grotesque
impracticablity. How the model ever
drifted to the Iowa machine shop |
couldn't find out. 1t had been there for
years and was probably Part of the plum
der Of some forgotten junk sale.
''1he only other safe | know of fit to
