THE FALLEN LEAF,
A leaf has fallen Well, who caresi
The branch on which it grew
May feel the little loss it bears
And mourn day or two;
But shall the busy world forget
To hurry on its way
Because leaf lies on the sod?

Will deck the branch some day,
A hearse is passing, and hear
Some mourners bitter cry;
But men forget ere yet the tear
Upon her cheek is dry

Extreme hot weather and holidays con-

rather dull one. Excepting for a good
trade in summer goods practically all
lines of business were affected unfavor-

rected that work be abandoned ON ac-

OKLAHOMA INDIAN LANDS TO
BE OPENED AUGUST 6.
Presidents Proclamation Natses the
Day and Prescribes the Manner of
Allotment of the Homesteads-Iu-
dams Ask an Injunction.

The proclamation of President McKin-
ley opening TO settlement the lands ceded
by Indians in the territory of Oklahoma
has been given TO the public. The proc
lamation covers the cessions made by
the Wichita and affiliated bands of In
dians in accordance with the act of
March >, 1895, and those made by the
Comanehe, Kiowa, and Apache tribes in
pursuance of the act of June 6, 1900.
The proclamation provides for the
opening of the lands in these reserva-
tons which are not reserved at 8 o'clock
a. m. on Aug. 6 next, the lands to be
open to settlement under the homestead
and townsite laws of the United States.
The proclamation says that those who
wish to make entry of land under the
homestead law shall be registered. The
registration will take place at the land
offices at Reno and Lawton. The regis
tration at each office will be for both
land districts. To obtain registration the
applicant will be required to show him
self duly qualified to make homestead
entry of these lands under existing laws
and to give the registering officer such
appropriate matters of description and
identity as will protect the applicant and
the government against any attempted
impersonation.
Registration cannot be effected through
the use of the mails or the employment
of an agent, excepting that honorably dis
charged soldiers and sailors may present
their applications through an agent, no
agent being allowed to represent more
than one soldier. No person will be al
lowed to register more than once. After
being registered applicants will be given
certificates allowing them to go upon the
ceded lands and examine them in order
to aid them in making an intelligent Sc
lection
