Think CattIemen should Own the Range.
S. P. Leger, in late issue of the To
peka Capital, complains that the re-
cent order of the interior department
to remove all fences which enclose
government land has been generally
ignored. This is unquestionably true,
relates the Sharon Springs Times. Mr
Leger says, however, that the new
corners are worse in this respect than
the old settlers; that they are fencing
up large tracts Of government land
without regard to the rights of the set
tiers. While it is unquestionable in
violation Of the ruling of the depart
ment Of the interior to enclose govern
ment land IN pasture, it seems that
the real damage to the settler 10 Wal
lace county has been, in many instan-
ces, greatly Overestimated. This ques-
ton, however, is one that a great many
people will entertain different ideas
about. and their ideas will be governed
a great deal by their financial interests
in the case. The cattleman who pays
heavy taxes and helps keep things
moving and practically holds the cOun-
try up, will naturally hold different
ideas from the man who is looking for
a place to engage in agriculture. This
difference of opinion between the
stock grower and the farmer is growing
and will continue to grow. The ques-
ton, in the opinion of the Times, will
finally be settled by the cattlemen be-
ing forced to own this range, when
they viii be allowed to do all the
fencing they please. 1t is coming to
that point as fast as it can, and will be
welcomed by many who want the ques-
ton settled once for all.

KISSING THE BOOK.
Doctors Rejoice Over the Abolition of
 the Custom.

We are glad to see, says the British Medical Journal, that some progress is being made towards the abolition of the uncleansy and dangerous English practice of administering the oath by requiring a witness to "iiss the book" The City Press Is responsible for the statement that the two Testaments In the city of London Court are kissed by 5000 persons annually, while Police Court usher Is said to have stated that the covers of bis New Testament. had been worn smooth and well polished from the pressure 'of numberlees lips. bearded and beardless, blooming and faded, honest and lying, foul and sweet" as some 49 760 witnesses were
 sworn in that court annually. Thare can be no question whatever about the rieAt to be sworn in the Scotch fashion, for Section V of the Oaths Act, 1SSS, runs as follows: of any person to whom an oath is administered desires to swear with uplifted hand, in the form and manner fin which an oath Is usually administered in Scotland he shall be permitted so to do and the oath shall be administered to him in such form and manner without further question" We are informed that the mmebers of the Iseyton Medical So- ciety have agreed invariably to adopt this form, and the matter is one upon which the medical profession might very well continue to preach. by example.

YERKES WILL WIN
IN THE STRUGGLE

NEW YORK, Nov. H-Commenting up
on the rivalry now existing between the
London County Council and the Y>rkes
syndicate the London correspondent of
the Tribune says:
4 sudden spasm of energy on the part
of the London County Council respecting
metropolitan rapid transit is attributed
to jealousy of Mr.. Yerkes. The Amer
lean syndicate has not yet accomplished
any practical results, since 1t has been
lobstructcd by controversy over the
method of electric traction on the Old
underground system. 1t has produced
plans for a comprehensive system of
electric transit connecting with the Dis
! trict line. and is acquiring control of one
authorized paper scheme after another
and Is opening the way for working out
the problem rapidly. If the arbitrator,
the Board of Trade, decides against the
metropolitan directors method of sup
plying electric power.
The London County Council Is humili-
ated by the evidence that the most inn
portant question relating to the welfare
Of London is passing from local control
into foreign hands. 1t has come to the
front with two comprehensive plans for
the relief of Londoners. one is sys-
TEN of shallow canals for the transport
tation of passengers under thoroughfares
by an electric tramway, and the other Is
IA system of subways for sewers. pipes,
wires and telephones by which the UNI
ceasing upheaVal of the streets and con-
'sequent u.ock of traffic can be prevent
ed. There will be little opposition to
either scheme from the public, but there
is little confidence that the council can
carry out its projects without prolong-
ed delay and obstruction from either
parliament or the rate payers The bur
denS of local taxation are already sc
heavy that the systematic Introduction
OF shallow tunnels and subways on u
large scale viii be retarded by prudential
considerations.
London, owing to the absence of cen
trail authority and the lack of uniiicatior
in metropolitan government, has falley
behind the great capitals of the worlC
in transit facilities, hut the rate payers
are not prepared to assume addt ona
financial responsibilities. Mr.. YerkeS
will probably have the field to himself
If he succeeds in obtaining a favorable
decision from the arbitrator respecting
the method of electric traction.

Wilder Company Meets.

The meeting of the stockholders OF
the Wilder Steamship Company maj
" took place yesterday morning at y
a. m, after having been postponed
twice on account of the absence OF a
quorum. The principal business OF the
meeting was the discussion of the I'M
proyement of the service between Hilo
and Honolulu. The directors were au-
thorized to either thoroughly rcnoVate
the Kinau or build an entirely new
boat for the Hilo service President g
l.. Wight states that it has not as yet
been decided by the directors Which
plan they will adopt.
The question of consolidation oil
the Inter Island Steam Navigation
Company and the wilder Company was
postponed for the present time. The
officers of both companies feel tha'
they could not treat the matter AZ
present and do justice to their stock
holders on account of the new tarll
and the new rates which are to III
initiated on December l. 1t is imppos
sible to know how this matter VII
work, and what the expenses and
earnings under the new circumstances
win be, so the directors of both com
panies have deemed ii eNpcdient tc
defer the matter.
A few new officers We're elected at
the meeting. w. NJ Giffard was elect
ed vice president in the place Of w. O.
Irwin, and w. Pfotenhaucr, auditor, in
the place Of Colonel Allen, as both the
resigning gentlemen expect to spend
most of the coming year abroad. T.. f
Bishop was elected director in the
place of w. Pfotenhauer.

WHEN THE MUSCLES BALK.

When the muscles balk from strain
or oyerwork almost uncomfortable pain
follows as natural consequence. Kick
apoo Indian Oil overcomes pain in a
manner that is marvellous to those who
have suffered and found no help in the
various so-called pain destroyers.'
The action of the oil is magical. Its
effects are miraculous. The pains re-
sulting from neuralgia, sciatica, rheu-
matism, lumbago, pleurisy, from strains
and pains. burns and bruises, are in
stantly controlled. One single applica-
ton of the Oil will prove its power
over pain in the most practical way,
by bringing instant relief. Kickapoo
Indian Oil is a preparation of rare
barks, herbs and gums in combination
with potent vegetable oils. 1t does not
numbe the body into forgetfulness OF
pain as do most pain remedies, but
by direct action on the inflamed parts,
or diseased organs, fortities them
against the power of pain.
