A Club women's Toot.

Emporia Gazette, December 21,
1901: Women rule the earth. The
books that women nike succeeds. The
newspapers that women read sell. The
stores that women patronize make
money And now the foxy old Santa
Fe has got scheme to please the
women which will make It barr OF
rocks. The scheme is a beautiful gilt
edged excursion to the Pacific coast
for the sixth biennial convention of
Women's clubs to De held In Los An
geles, May l to s. The Santa Fe is
going to put on a line of through
trains that will beat the worlds recs
ord for beauty and comfort. And bet
ter than this, the Santa Fe will ar
range to take all the Kansas and
Missouri club women who have been
meeting together and know one an
other, all on one train where they
can talk club matters and fix up club
politics together for three days. II
the Santa Fe doesn't make big divi-
dend out of this business It won't be
w. ]. Blacks fault. This is a unique
idea and it is distinctly a Santa Fe
idea. Did you ever observe that in the
passenger department of the Santa
Fe they make their money by turning
public comfort into money?

SPRINGS ANOTHER
FREE HOMES BILL.
Delegate Flynn Introduces Measure to
Cover All Lands.

Delegate Flynn Introduces Measure to
Cover All Lands
Washington. D c., Jan 9-Delegate
Flynn Of Oklahoma, reintroduced his
free homes bill to provide for free
homesteads on the public lands of Ok
lahoma, The bill provides that all
settlers under the homestead laws of
the United States upon the public
lands acquired by treaty or agreement
from the various Indian tribes in the
territory of Oklahoma, who have or
who shall hereafter reside upon the
tract entered in good faith Off the
period required by existing law, shall
be entitled to patent for the land so
entered, upon the payment to the local
lanG officers of the usual and custom
airy fees, and no other or further
charge OF any kind whatsoever shall
be required from ssch settler to en-.
title him TO a patent for the land coy
cred by his entry; provided, that The
right to commute any such entry and
pay for said lands in the option of any
settler and in the time and at the
places now fixed by existing laws snail
remain in full force and effect"
This bin If passed, will give the
lucky ones who drew claims in the
Kiowa, Comancne and Apache and the
Wichita reservations patents to the
lands for nothing. Under existing law
they must pay s1.25 an acre for their
claims.
Delegate Flynn has resumed active
missionary work among the members
Of the house in favor of his statehood
bill for Oklahoma. He spent the day
with the Representatives who are re.
ported as being opposed to the admis-
sion of Oklahoma as a state and gave
them heart to heart talks about the
affairs of the territory. He is strongly
advocating d territorial form of gov
ernment for the Indian territory in
order 70 pave the way for Oklahoma's
admission TO statehood. Many mem
bers refuse to do anything for Okla
homa unless some provision is made
to remedy the existing chaotic oondi-
tions in the Indian territory. Flynn
points out that Oklahoma has less
population than Indian territory has
now, and as little taxable property
when IL was given a territorial form
Of government and he believes the
affairs Of the territory would be
speedily placed in good working order
by the appointment of a governor to
take in hand the work of the present
Dawes commission With the Indian
territory provided for in this manner.
Flynn is certain his statehood bill will
pass at this session.

JURY HAS THE CASE.
Of Dave Allen, Charged With Murder Under Consideration -Abner Marks Given Fine and One Day In Jail Charley
 Dupin on Trial

The case of Dave Allen against whom the state sought to make out case of murder in the second degree, now rests with the jury, having been turned over to that body, at eleven o'clock Thursday morning and up to press hour no verdict had been ar rived at. As instructions were also given for manslaughter, it is probable that some of the jury are holding out for such a verdict and others for mur- der.
 Abner Marks, who seems to be an overgrown boy, was indicted by the grand jury for assault with intent to kill, but was convicted of aggravated assault and given sentence of one day in jail and fine of $50.
 The trial of Charley Dupin, colored, was occupying the attention of the court Thursday afternoon. He is charged with stealing a trunk of clothes and is defended by Judge Scarborough and Love Grant.
 Sentence has been passed by the court upon Harve Osborne and Jay Edwards, the convicted horsethieves and their terms of imprisonment of one year each, were made to date from July 29.
 Whether court will adjourn next week is not yet settled, but certain it is that Judge Fulkerson has kept things humming and dispatched busi- ness with as much promptness as is consistent with justice.
