Washington, D. c., Aug. 29.-"Dur-
ing our sale OF lots the other day in
Lawton there was brisk bidding on a
piece OF corner property adjacent to
the school land, said Assistant Land
Commissioner w. A. Richards, today,
having just returned from three
months soiourn in Oklahoma terri
tory, where he has been laying out
townsites and directing the opening
OF the niOWa and Comanehe reserva-
tions.
"One OF the bidders was a woman
wearing calico dress and sunbon-
net. The figure offered climbed high
er and higher TIL finally it reached
$500. II was a twenty-five foot front,
and the rate was even higher than
real estate would bring here in the
national capital The woman reached
down toward one stocking and pulled
out n mighty roll of greenbacks. The
government, you know, requires cash
payments on all sales Of land. She
counted out s3,5OO in money and
passed It up to the land Office clerk.
She had a good deal left after she had
paid for her property.
"That Is only one example illustrat-
ing the zeal with which people arc
buying real estate in those future
cities OF Oklahoma" continued the
assistant commissioner as he opened
out on the desk before him the maps
of the towns OF Lawton, Hobart and
Anadarko. all of which towns he has
been laying out, just as lEnfant laid
out the plan OF Washington City, more
than 100 years ago.
Determined to Have That Lot.
"Take the sale over in Hobart. We
offered certain lot in the business
section OF that town the other day,
and there were many bidders on hand.
The price went up steadily but
among the bidders was man who
kept pace with all the others, and al
ways went a little higher. At last the
others got tired. and the lot, also a
twenty-five foot front went to him for

four lunches OF bills, each containing

STILL OPPOSE
COMPROMISE
FRIENDS OF PRIMARY BILL ARE
STEADFAST.
MEASURE GOES TO SENATE
Committee to Which it Will be Re-
ferred Favors Bill in Present Form
and Will so Report it--Opposition
is CIamoring for Substitutes
and Amendments.
Madison. March &c.

Madison, March 26.
The primary election bill will come
into the senate this morning on a
message from the assembly and thus
the exciting scenes enacted in the
lower house last week will be trans
ferred to what is considered the more
dignified branch of the legislature.
Just what will be done with the meas
ure is a question which no idle pro-
phet can answer in advance.
That the senate committee on priv
ileges and elections, to which it must
be referred, will bring in a favorable
report upon the bill which passed the
assembly there is little doubt; for of
the five senators comprising the COM
mittee three favor the bill in its
present form. Senator Hatton, chair
man, and Senators Martin and Miller,
are for measure along the line of
the original bill and it is not likely
that they vii offer any additional
amendments to those adopted by the
assembly last week. On the other
hand, Senators Jones and Whitehead
are thought to be against the meas
ure as it now stands. The Waukesha
senator may oppose any kind of pri-
mary election bill, but the GAINESVILLE
statesman will undoubtedly be for
some form of a compromise.
There does not seem to be disposi-
ton in the senate, to absolutely de-
feat any and all attempts at passing
primary bill. Many senators who are
against the measure before them, are
deeply impressed with the necessity Of
the party keeping it's platform pledges
by enacting some law that shall pro-
vide for direct vote for nominations,
and they are the ones that are talking
compromise. The friends of the meas
ure are not disposed to consider any
substitute or amendment except such
as will make the bill better.

The regular address was by Prof. j.

subject, Wandering Instincts of Eng
lish Poets, which he supplemented by
charming selections from Stevenson.
Kipling, and few minor poets.
1t has long been POLITICALLY stated.
said Prof. Pyre. that there is no place
like home. But when the spring days
come, and the longing to wander in
definitely surges over one, or. as Kip
ling puts it, when one. has the go
fever, then it that the poets line Of
home loses its significance in the
hungering and thirsting for travel.
In the hordes which follow this
prompting are two classes those.
who go only to see and be charmed,
and those who go to see and learn.
1t is the former class that the poets
love to tell about and that an old SUI
perstition says, will find that truth
falls on them in their careless wander
ings. 1t is to that class that Steven
son, "the prince of vagabonds, be-
longs, as does Kipling when he occa-
sionally drifts from his tales of action
to that keen appreciation Of nature.

Amputation MAY Be Necessary.

Appleton, Wis, March 26.-It is
feared that Presiding Elder Farmer OF
the Appleton district of the Wisconsin
Methodist church will lose his arm.
Some time ago Elder Farmer, while
visiting in Canada, accidentally shot
himself in the hand. The wound re
sisted medical treatment and two OPP
erations were necessary. Blood poi
soning set in some time ago, and it IS
with that disorder that physicians
have been battling for some time. It
is now feared the arm will have to be
amputated.

Illinois Central to Get Valuable Trans.

New York. March 26.-The Mail

authority that the deal for the acqui-
sition of the Minneapolis & ST. Louis
and Iowa Central roads by the lii
nois Central company will shortly be
closed. Negotiations have been pend
ing for some time. There was a
hitch in the matter of the price, but
it is expected a compromise will be
reached. The Illinois Central offered
a guarantee of 4 per cent. on the
common stock of the Minneapolis e

latter held for per cent, claiming
the company is earning now upward

for the Minneapolis & ST. Louis first

Washington, March 26.-In the
United States supreme court yester-
day, opinions were handed down in
several cases involving the construc-
ton Of state law in Illinois author
izing cities and villages to contract
for water and waterworks. The cases
decided affect the water systems of
The water companies in each case
contended that the law of 1872 and
other subsequent acts authorizing
town and city authorities to contract

Guided the right to fix rate for
that time and a rate once fixed could
not be changed. They argued that
the ordinances fixing rates were in
the nature of contracts for a term of
thirty years. In the case of the Free
port company a rate Of SIS for each
fire hydrant was first fixed by the or
dinance, but it was reduced by a
subsequent ordinance to $50 The
water company attacked the validity
of this ordinance and took the case
into the state courts. The Illinois SUI

HEAVY RAINS AND THAW WORK
DESTRUCTION.
FAMILIES LEAVE HOMES
Cities of Milwaukee, Sheboygan, osh-
kosh, Fond du Lac and saukville,
Menaced by Rising Waters-Sev-
eraI Business Firms Compelled to
Suspend Operations.

Milwaukee, March 26.-Heavy rains
and the thaw throughout Wisconsin
the past three days have caused high
water in many places throughout the
state. Several business firms have
been compelled to suspend operations
temporarily eat least. Sheboygan,
Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, Saukville and
this city are having the worst exper-
fence. Piggsville, a Milwaukee SUI
.burb, is under water and the streets
are inundated The Milwaukee west
side car shops are working, but little
more of a rise in water will flood
them. At Wauwatosa the river is
threateningly high. At Black River
Falls the Black river is on the RAM
page. 1t rose eight feet yesterday
and is still rising. The ice is going
out and the damage to property will
be heavy unless the waters recede.
Fond du Lac reports an ice gorge
formed at the Twelfth street bridge
and it is feared the bridge will be
hoisted from it's foundation. The
river oyerfowed it's banks and is
doing considerable damage along it's
course. Oshkosh reports the low
lands all covered with water.
The dam on the East Twin river,
in the village of Mishicott, suddenly
gave way yesterday and it is esti-
mated the sudden overflow of water
did damage to the amount of $4,000.
Houses were completely turned around
and three bridges badly damaged.
The water is five feet deep on the
main street of the village. Several
large stores are heavy losers and
much grain in store in the basement
will be entirely lost. No lives were
lost, although there were several mar
row escapes and some families had to
leave their homes.
The village of Saukville has been
cut in two by the flood and the rail
way station cannot be reached from
either side. Excitement runs high.
Families are leaving their homes by
scores. All night there were parties
of men rowing about in the only
two boats the place possesses with
lanterns and torches searching for
unfortunates who might have been
caught in their homes or near the
village. The villages of Grafton and
Thienyilie are in danger.
La Crosse, March 26-The North
western roadbed was washed out at
the Grand Crossing, in the city limits,
last night and residents. in that part
of the city have been forced to leave
their homes.
