GEO. W. STEELE"
Hon. Jesse Overstreet, who for a brief
4 period practiced law in the territory and
now a distinguished member of congress,
i expressed his regrets in the following to
! Mrs. Filson:
My Dear Madam: I am in receipt of
+ of your recent favor extending on be-
half Of the Oklahoma Indiana association
an Invitation for me to be present at the
annual reunion Of your association. to be
held February q 1901, and regret very
much that 1 shall be unable to attend,
but thank you and your association most
cordially for your kind invitation.
THE former residents Of Indiana who
are now residing in Oklahoma are to be
congratulated upon maintaining such an
organization which keeps alive the mem
cries Of their old homes in the state
which is 50 loved by those who have been
born within its borders. Indeed, I do not
know of any state from which settlers in
the west have gone which have cherished
a more kindly recollection Of their early
home than the state of Indiana. It oc-
ours to me that this speaks splendidly for
the home teaching and early influences
which, have characterized the homes in
our state. Other states have, therefore.
been benefited by these influences, and in
that way the good name of the Ho0sier
state has maintained its position Of honor
and credit throughout the Union Sons
and daughters Indiana are to be found
in a great many states. and while all
have not been able to become leading
citizens Of such states. It IS to their great
credit that there are as few failures to
be found among their number as among
the number Of any other states in the
Union. However long one may have lived
away from his native state he is never
ashamed to be called a Hoosler. and those
who still remain in Indiana are always
glad to meet their former neighbors as
old friends ana hold them IN the kindii-
est memory. Yours respectfully.
Jesse DIVERSIFIED"
Mrs. Secretary Fils0n presented the fol-
lowing letter as from ''the next president
Of the United States'':
Dear Madam: I am in receipt If your
kind invitation to be present at the an
nual reunion of the Indiana settlers n
Oklahoma, at Guthrie February p 1901.
It would give me great pleasure indeed il
were able to accept the invitation ana

half you speak. my thanks for their kind

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
I effects OF the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
: the value Of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles Of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them IN the form most refreshing TO the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
IS the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process Of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualitiesof the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFOREIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial

Guthrie, o. T, Feb. 22.-The second an

tanning feature was the reading Of let
ters of regret from residents of Indiana
who were at one time actually identified
with oklahoma Hon. George w. Steele,
the first governor Of the territory, writ
ing to Mrs. Charles FIlson. says;
MY Dear Madam: I have the honor to
acknowledge receipt Of your favor of
January 81, inviting me to be present at
the annual reunion Of your association on
February o. 1901 1 really wish it were
possible for me to accept, but on account
of the rush of business incident to the
closing days of the short session, I must
deny myself the pleasure Of doing so. It
would be very gratifying to be able to re-
new the pleasant acquaintance 1 made
among the people Of Oklahoma during my
short stay with them and, naturally, 1t
would be q special pleasure to meet my
old Hoosier friends who were so kind
ard considerate on all occasions. It
would not have been unnatural for each
of them to expect especial consideration
at my hands as the executive officer Of
the territory, having many appointments
to make and TO be disappointed where L
could not favor them. They seemed, how
ever, to appreciate the embarrassment of
my position, and where applications had
to be denied, with one or two exceptions
50 far as I remember, they accepted the
sltpation gracefully.
Il SHAH always feel satisfied with my
administration of the office Of governor,
because / do not know now that it is all
over, how l could have done any more
than / did for the betterment Of the inter
ests of the people Of Oklahoma. If they
had all been Of one family, and / had

this that hundreds Of others might have

wnsh the Cows in summer.

Cows should sometimes be washed, even in the summer time. The hair protected skin of the COW is good lodging place for fungoid germs and ferments of all kinds. The cows wade through stagnant water filled with countless myriads of bacteria, or stand in deep mud equally pol luted. They return to the stable or milking yards and the bacteria re- main on them and fall in invisible showers into the milk as it is drawn. Then we hear about ropy milk, or milk having rank flavor. It could have been prevented had care been exercised in cleaning the cows. When cows give evidence of having been in such places they should be thorough ly washed.-Farmers' Review.

This bag holder was designed by me and it has been of great utility at our farm as it can be used alone or two persons can use it, one filling the sacks and the other tying them up. To make it take a 2x4 board and saw it in two pieces 24 inches long; then take a piece EXC and saw it 26 inches long. After this take a piece eight inches wide and six feet long and saw it in three pieces each two feet long. Now nail these three boards on these other pieces which were 2X4x24 and nail the 2x6x26 between the other pieces. Take another 2x4 board and saw it two feet long and set this studding with one end on the part of the 2x6x26 that sticks out from under the 2x2 foot platform, and nail it securely. Then

A WORD ABOUT ONIONS.
They Are Easily Grown and with Good Care Will Yield a Fairly
 Profitable Crop.

There is good deal of complaint among farmers and gardeners about being unable to secure a good stand of onions by planting the seed. Onion seed deteriorates very rapidly with age, and only that of the last seasons crop should be used. The sprouting seeds and young plants are very easi- ly killed by drought, and some meth. cd of planting must be followed that will carry the young plants over the dry weather. A simple and quite eff. fective way of planting is to prepare @ good seed bed by blowing the land in the fall or early winter. Smooth down the surface with harrow or similar tool. Drill the seed in rows about 15 inches apart, placing the seed about one inch below the sur. face of the soil. Firm the soil well on the seed by walking on the rows or some similar method; then cover lightly with loose soil. This method although simple, has never failed to give good stand of onions at the experiment station at Saltwater. As soon as the plants are three or foul inches high they should be thinned to three inches apart in the row Weeds and grass should never be per mitted to grow in the onion bed and the surface of the soil should be kept loose and mellow with the hoe o1 hand cultivator. Onions are easily grown and with good care will yield a good crop in almost all parts ot Oklahoma. - Oklahoma Experiment Station.

The selection of Melons.

Seedsmen who recommend melons call attention to the shipping quail ities of the varieties. For home uso there is no melon that can compare with the Kleckley, while the Emerald Gem is the best of the canteloupes, though neither variety will ship to market satisfactorily. One of the best to follow the Emerald Gem for a later kind is the old HaeAet,sacll, both being planted at the same time. These varieties cannot be exceilcd for quality.-Troy (N. Y.l Times.
