Now that tie treaty has been
raufed by a rousine good majority
the opponents of the agreement
will spring surprise by contesting
the returns, using the agreement
as it passed Congress as the instTu-
ment to be contested. For some
time the Hunter forces have been
quietly laughing oyer what they
considered "horrible break" by
the commission who drafted the
treaty as well as the congress that
enacted it into a law. When the
vote is canvassed at Atoga in
few days, as provided for in the
treaty, there will be a protest fled
based on the legality of the freed
men vote which was admitted yes
terday.
The anti.treaty people say thai
the first Section 3, on which they
will base their contest, very en-
phaticaIly excludes freedmen from
participation in the election, while
Section 70 alludes TO the voters as
al male citizens qualified to vote
under the tribal laws, which in
quite number of freedmen were
allowed to vote Thursday
In the face Of heavy majority
given the agreement the freedmen
vote could all be excluded ana the
returns be unchanged. No appre-
hension IS felt among the treaty
men regarding the contest.

events in connection with the
entire carnival is the coronation
of the Queen, Miss Veiya Scot
fern, attended by her Maids of
Honor, and the ceremonies at
tendant upon this part Of the
program will be both brilliant
aid impressive. The costumes
which win be worn by the ladies'

pensive that money can buy,

gives latitude for a gorgeous
display Of color and brilliancy.

years, the first white child born in

died at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Moses Duquette, on Sunday. She
was born there in 1898, when only
few white families lived in the north
west, and she had resided in that city
all her life. Only a few days ago she
said she had seen the country pass
from ~barbarians to civilized people,
the rude dug-out on the Mississippi
give way to floating palaces, Indian
trails converted into steel roadways
and the few score of civilized people
in the west swelled to millions. She
passed away in peaceful sleep without

There is one section of the new
rules that goes into effect on the
Northwestern on April 9Th that is
causing a great deal of comment
among the men. This is a rule for
bidding the use of tobacco in or
around passenger stations. Taken as
it reads the men say this means that
switching crews, %enginemen, track
cleaners and others while near the
stations shall not smoke. Now there
are few things dearer to the average
engineman's heart than his quiet
smoke while oiling up before starting
from the terminal, His engine is
away ahead, outside of the shed and
the engineers fail to see how a few
whiffs can do any harm. The men
admit that it would not look we'll for
the passenger trainmen to be smok-
ing around the passengers or the
train, but they fail to see why those
who are not in the shed should be de-
barred from a pleasant privilege.

either. His credit is good, but when
he runs out of work he will shift and
skimp along for a long time without
seeing the color of money. He says
it is all in getting used to it. And
when you have money, all you do is
to spend it, so a man is better off
without it. Maybe there is some
pretty sound philosophy in that, and
yet we shall not be willing to take his
word for it, if it is all the same to you.

receiving them should not throw them

A town in Illinois recently found
itself in a peculiar ~predicament. 1t
is without town officials, law or ordi-
nances. The mayor died as the re-
suit of a gunshot wound accidentally
received while hunting; the treasurer
resigned and left for Oklahoma and
the records and ordinances were
burned in fire.

&C. j. Hyde is gaining an enviable
reputation as an auctioneer in Grant
county and his services are solicited
for many miles around. This season
has been the most successful he ever
cried and it is hard to secure a date
with him at all. He is already en-
gagged for sales nearly every day this
month. There's no better auctioneer
in this section of the state and he
commands the respect and good will
of every patron.
An effort will be made to enable
farmers to reap the benefits of the
weather bureau service during the
coming season by furnishing them
with daily weather reports. This
will be done by furnishing postmast-
ers with stamps and then telegraph

will stamp the predictions upon, the
cards and give them to the rural car
riers to distribute to all farmers along
the rural routes.
