The city improvement society met on
Thursday morning. Mrs. G. W. Rhodes
was elected assistant secretary. The +
street park was reported in good condi-
tion and that the city council has au-
thorized the planting of more trees and
the repair OF the roads. Open air con-
certs at the F street park were discuss
ed. The great need Of a city ambu-
lance was discussed, but no definite
figures have been received as to the
probable cost. 1t was thought that
the city officers did not favor the pur-
chase of an ambulance but the ladies
were equally certain that local physi-
clans would gladly contribute to such
an object. The secretary was instruct
ed to have membership tickets printed
as the yearly fees have been due for
some time. Mrs. H. Z. Lewis urged

COMPILING REGISTRATIONS.

Ell Reno, July 97.-The total figures
for both Ell Reno and Lawton on Thurs
day night showed the registration Of
l61, 992 homeseelsers, of which Thurs
days work contributed II, 106 and Law
ton s71. The crowds rapidly decreased,
every train out being crowded. Many
homesteaders are going into the re-
servations. Judge Frank Dale, one Of
the commissioners to conduct the
drawing, was early on the ground, and
Colonel Dyer, of st. Louis, the other
one, has arrived. Judge Dale favors
the use of cylinder for the drawing,
rather than a wheel.
The TOWNSHIP committee had not
been appointed, but it will materialize
in good time.

Richards if he would take othor than

many people who did not like the idea
of carrying large sums of money into
the reservations for the purpose Of buy
ing lots at one of the government
towns.
The compiling of the registration pa
pers has been carried on in a vacant
building on Biclxford avenue. One of
the clerks sleeps in the room at night
to guard the papers. The clerks in
charge of the work are getting along
well with the matter and by the time
the drawing comes off everything will
be in readiness for that event Coy
ernor Richards has received official
maps of the reservations, which show
the Indian allotments Every man
man who makes drawing is to re-
ceive one but they are not given out
to others. The maps are county maps.
1t takes three maps to make up the
country. The only way to locate the
steams is by the Indian allotments, for
one thing is certain, that an Indian
wants to be near water.

Ell Reno, July 20.-Receiver Thomas
Reed and Register Frank C. Siclles, of
the Ell Reno land office, passed upon
fifteen TOWNSHIP applications at request
of Secretary Hitchcock. Six townsites
were approved. There will be town
at Fort Cobb on the Rock Island also
one between Anadarko and Lawton
which will be known as Richards, in
honor of Governor Richards. Another
west of Hobart and Elk Creek, but no
name has yet been given it; another in
the Withita country at the west edge
of the Wichita mountains. These
towns will be on the Rock Island. A
town will be established at Bridgeport,
on the Choctaw, also at Caddo station
in the Caddo country. A petition for
TOWNSHIP in the center of county |,
in the Caddo country on Sugar Creek
near the old sub-agency was approved.
Applications for other townsites
will not be considered until after the
country is opened for settlement.

THE DRAWING COMMENCES.
Every Possible PrecautiOn Made
to Secure Fair Drawing,
EACH DISTRICT SEPARATELY,

III Reno, July 29.-The Commission
ers in charge of the drawing at their
first conference made formal an
nouncement of their plans. Under
these platform was erected in the
street upon which the drawing COM
mences this morning in full view of all
present
Envelopes containing the names OF
all registered applicants were placed
in two boxes, one for each land district.
These are large enough and so con-
structed and mounted, as to permit q
thorough mixing of the envelopes.
The envelopes containing the names
of all who have registered are now,
a. M, being brought to the platform
in packages consecutively numbered.
A corresponding series of numbers
will be placed in receptacle, from
which they will be drawn out at ran
dom.
The package of envelopes bearing
the first number drawn will be the
first one to be put in the drawing box,
and well distributed, when another
number will be drawn and another
picking of envelopes distributed, and
this course will be continued until all
of the envelopes have been placed in
the boxes, after which the boxes will
be revolved for a sufficient length of
time to insure a thorough mixing Of
the envelopes. These boxes will be so
constituted that five men can be en-
ployed in the drawing at each one of
them and the order in which they will
begin at each box will be determined
by lot. The first envelope drawn will
be number one. Will be at once
opened and the identification slip
which it contains will be given a cor
responding number and the ames an
residences which appears upon the
slip will be publicly announced. This
course will be pursued, numbering
each envelope and its contents con-
secutlNely uuoIl twenty -hNS huuANoio
have been drawn from one box when
an equal number will be drawn from
the other box in a similar manner.
This course will be pursued until
500 names have been drawn from each
box, when, if the committee deem it
best to do So arrangements will be
made for drawing simultaneously from
each box.
After the names have been drawn
and announced they will be recorded
and notice prepared to be mailed to
the ones whose name is drawn. The
drawing will proceed in this manner
until every envelop in both boxes has
been drawn out

Fall Back on School Lands.

FL Reno, July 27.-Many of the
homeseekers are preparing to lease
school land if they are not successful
in the drawing. There are hundreds
of farmers in oklahoma who have
made good money in leasing school
land and this has inspired the pros
pective settler to try for lease in case
he is not successful in the drawing.
There will be opportunities of leasing
Indian lands and the settlers will be
numerous in the new country outside
of those who do not secure homes in

A Woman's Town.

Fort Sill, July 27-The w. T. c. U.
is behind the scheme to start woman s
town near Anadarko. Miss Agnes
Peet, from Michigan, is at the head of
the movement. The Missouri and Kan
sas w. c. I. U. organizations are also
interested. That order wants to de-
monstrate that town can thrive with
out drop of liquor in it. For five
years no man can even hold office in 1t.
The women will be the whole works.
They will run the municipal machin-
cry, the stores and own all the prop
erty. Mr.. Edwards, the engineer en-
ployed to lay out the town, says that
100 women of the w. c. T. u. have
agreed to put up the money to buy the
townsite and establish the town.

Dried Fruit on Trees.

Kansas City, July 27.-Peaches in
orchards around Kansas City are dry
ing up on the trees. Trees are well
loaded with the fruit, but for a month
the only transition has been for the
stone to grow. At present there is
nothing between the skin and the
stone Apples are total failure. At
Weston the Norris Powers distillery
intended making apple brandy, it was
reported the apple crop would be an
entire failure, and similar reports
come in from Jackson county orchards.
Plums have yielded well, but curious
circumstance is that the flavor is sour,
even of the sugar plums.

Fraudulent Pay Rolls.

Gainesville, Tex, July 27.-The San
ia Fe pay car with the paymaster and
other officials stopped at Cleburne to
pay off. The officers had got word
that the Cleburne pay rolls were
padded and insisted on interviewing
every person on. the pay rolls. Eight
dead" men were found to be drawing
wages that did not exist. The chief
clerk of the shops and eight employees
were al, once arrested. 1t has been
the custom of the railway in paying
off their men to make out the checks
for every man in the shops and these
checks were given to the chief clerk to
distribute among the men. Hence it
was an easy matter for the clerk to
add a number of names who were not
employees of the company.

Kidding Churches of Rumsellers.

Richmond, Va, July 29.-The 1lsth
meeting of the Baptist association is
in session here, and is graphing with
the problem of Kidding the churches of
liquor dealers who are members. The
question came up at the opening ses-
sion and provoked warm fight.
The association, two years ago, de-
clared that it would withdraw fellow
ship from any church retaining in it's
membership men engaging in the
traffic. The oldest church in the state
refuses to eXpel four of the most
wealthy members, and prefers to with

More Gas in Allen County.

Moran, Kans., July 29.-The Moran
Gas and Oil Company, which has been
prospecting for gas at Moran has
opened up well with flow of gas
estimated at 1000, 900 cubic feet of gas
per day with rock pressure of 900
pounds. Moran is in Allen county.
Three years ago two wells were sunk
and some gas found in each of these,
but not enough however to pay to
pipe. Nothing has been done since
then to develop the field until this
discovery was made.
