Walnut river is higher at this point
than it has been for the past four

the gauge shows ten feet above the

caused by rains in the central part

Today at Sapulpa. !. T., in the
Creek nation, prominent citizens and
business men among the Creeks will
meet in mass meeting to determine
whether it is the sentiment Of the ma
tion to be annexed to Oklahoma There
is strong feeling favorable to such
proposition, and much discussion
has been INDUCED in among the fore
most men of the nation along this
line. In the organic act describing the
boundaries of Oklahoma there is a
clause which covers such cases and
apparently under this clause II there
is favorable sentiment in the Creek
nation, the president would be forced
TO issue a proclamation attaching the
nation TO Oklahoma. However, there
would be restrictions in the matter of
legislation for the Indian territory
which necessarily would have to be
amended before such a proclamation
could be issued

BIDS FOR MAIL CONTRACTS.

The postoffice department has
called for bids for carrying the
mail over the star routes in Mis-
souri, from July 1st, 1908, to June
3Oth, 1904, and bids will be re-
ceived at the department in Wash
ington until December End, 1902.
The department has made radical
change IN the mail contracts.
Under the old system it was Gus.
tomary to let the contracts to the
lowest bidder in any part of the
United States, and one contractor
would secure thousands of con
tracts in different parts of the
country and sublet them. Under
the new system the person who
secures the contract is to give his
personal supervision to the per-
formance of the contract and must
also reside on the route for which
he has received the contract fol
carrying the mail.

THRIFTY NEGRO FARMER.
Henry jackson Has Acquired
Modest Fortune Since the
War.

Henry Jackson, a colored man
OF exceptional character, and the
wealthiest member of his
race in st. Louis county, has in
creased his real estate holdings re-
Gently to nearly 400 acres, by the
purchase of a tract of land near
Creve Occur lake. He owns other
properties in the county and has
money loaned out at interest. His
wealth is estimated at $4,000, all
of which has been amassed since the
civil war, and which consists
principally of rich farming lands
in the vicinity of the lakes. The
nucleus ofhis fortune was furnish
ed, however, from savings accu-
mulated during bondage.
Before the war jackson was the
slave of Richard H. Stevens, owner
of a plantation of 500 acres near
Creve Occur lake. He was made
foreman of the farm in 1862. AS
such he had supervision over about
twenty-five men and women, and
often had charge of as many as
fifteen or twenty teams in hauling
products of the farm to st. Louis
to market. He was then a young
man and was married to a woman
belonging to John Stump, who
lived six miles away. After the
war broke out, Jackson went to
Ohio, but while there wrote to his
former master, Mr.. Stevens, say
ing that his absence was necessary
and that he would soon return.
Coming back after the war Jack
son continued to work for Mr..
Stevens during the day, and at
night, by moonlight, he used to
cut corn for the farmers in the
neighborhood until midnight. In
this way he saved considerable
money. He now owns one tract
of 16O acres and another of ITO be-
sides the 60 acres which he has
recently acquired.

amounted to an average individual
income of 1884. Each miner re.
ceived about 60 cents for each ton
of coal that he mined, and each
miner mined about two and one
third tons a day. In computing
the wages of the miners, the mine
owners fixed the weight of ton Of
coal at various figures ranging be-
tween 2,740 and $3.50 pounds, and
sold the same coal to the customer
at 2,240 pounds to the ton.
The average cost of the coal de-

the country was $1.S7 ton. The
average cost to the consumer was
$6.25 per ton. The difference be-
tween the cost of production and
the price paid by the consumer,

CAUSE OF COMPLAINT
United States Prevents the Co.
Iombians From Wiping Out
Revolutionary Forces.

Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 2.-The Brit
ish steamer Trent arrived here today
from Colon. She brings reports that
the Colombian rebels are still to be
seen in the vicinity of the isthmus and
that they occasionally appear in the
towns along the railroad line.
Considerable Indignation is felt by
the Colombians because American
guards are still maintained on the line.
Officials of the Colombian government
claim that what they term the inter
ference of the Americans prevents them
from dealing effectively with the rebels,
who occupy certain towns where they
collect taxes and make seizures of
property The revolutiOnists, in their
turn, claim that the presence of the
Americans prevents them from bring
ing about a final coup in the revolution.
There is much suffering on the isthmus
and the position of civilians there is
becoming intolerable.
It is reported that the terms of a
and the Colombian government are at
present under consideration and it is
believed these terms provide for an
armistice of ninety days, during which
time a joint commission composed of
members of the governmental and
revolutionary parties are to frame
new constitution, which is to giEe
equal rights to all persons. When the
Trent left Colon last Friday is was
considered doubtful whether the terms
of the proposed settlement would be
agreed to-
