Cattlemen and Farmers.

Guthrie, o. t., Sept, 1.-The war be-

Western Oklahoma continues unceas-

Roger Mills. Day, and Dewey counties
of the destruction of crops, burning of
cribs and grain, killing of stock and
ambushing and shooting by both farm
ers and cattlemen. The situation has
been made more serious by the driv-
ing in of large herds of ca tile from the
Texas Panhandle by cattlemen who
have run short of grass at home.
Homesteaders fear further menace to
their claims and allege they have no
protection. Serious trouble is antici-
pated, the cattlemen asserting that the
lands belong to them by priority of
possession and they will fight the en-
croachment of the homesteaders.

School BOOK TROUBLE.
Superintendent Nelson Gives Some
Suggestions to School Officials.
ALL THE BOOKS NOT TIED UP.

Topeka, Aug. 29.-State Superin-
tendent Frank Nelson has sent circu-
lar letter to all county superintendent
advising them to inform their boards
and the teachers that the schools
should open on the date selected and
ALI new text books should be used ex-
cept those to be furnished by the
American Book company. The teach
ers and pupils are to use the old books
until the case is decided. The circular
letter says:
Il am receiving so many inquiries
relative to the status of the text book
situation that 1 deem it my duty to
offer the following suggestions to SUI
perintendents and patrons of the
schools:
1.-The readers, geogra phies and phys
iologies are tied up by reason of the
restraining order of the probate judge
of Shawnee county. The hearing has
been set for September 1. However,
many of the schools of the state begin
the first week of September. Under
the circumstances patrons can use the
old books that they have on hand in
reading, geography and physiology,
because it is not safe to buy new text
books in these subjects, either of the
displaced ones or the newly adopted
ones, until the question involved has
been settled by the courts. 1t is neither
expedient nor safe to buy books of the
series adopted five years ago except the
arlthmetics and advanced grammar,
which were re-adopted, for, should the
courts hold that the newly adopted
texts in reading, geography and phys
iolOgy are legally adopted, every pur-
chase made of the old series of these
texts would be an additional expense
to the people.
81 trust it will not be necessary to
postpone the opening of the schools be-
cause of this difficulty to secure text
books. 1t is earnestly hoped that the
issue at question will be solved at the
very earliest moment so that the school
work of the state may not he jcopar-

Quaintance with Wordsworth, Tenny-
