MAN + BREAKFAST.

MOre III Natured Than Woman, Says
an Observant Res%taurateur.
"Of course" said an avenue restau-
rant keeper, st think my business gives
me the best opportunities in the world
for judging human nature. My obser-
vations have led me to the conclusion
that women, as nervous as they are
supposed to be, are more good natured
than e The test for this trait comes
at breakfast time. Now. l suppose
that my customers are about as CHEEKY
a lot as. frequent any restaurant in the
city. A good many Of them are news
paper men, who, as a usual thing, take
life as it comes without much COM
plant. If you take them in the even
ing or late at night, you will find them
the most companionable lot imaginable.
But let me tell you there is a difference
in the morning.
"As friendly as / am with most Of the
men who come in here, there is not
one whom l would care to provoke: be.
fore he gets his breakfast. Most Of the
kicks are made concerning the first
meal Of the day. The waiter is too
slow; the steak is too rare; the steak is
too well done; the eggs are not fried
properly or + boiled too little O too
much. But by the time the average
man has had a good meal and a cup
of hot coffee Richard is himself again.
Now, with women it is different. /
don't know whether it is because they
wake up less hungry than men or
whether an empty stomach affects their
nerves to a less degree. but those who
get their breakfast here seldom annoy
us with complaints."AWashington Post,

THE Beers AND THE FUTURE

Minneapolis Tribune: This is no
more a day of mourning for the
Beers than it is a day Of triumph for
the British. What are three years
in the life Of a people2 The Dutch
Of Holland fought Spain for a cen
fury. Peace was made again and
again, but it was always a truce in
which the great adversary rested in
fancied security, and the little silent
ly gathered its forces for new COM
bat. The deadly blows struck at the
power of Spain did not show visible
scars Of weakness and decay for gen
erations. independence came to the
grandchildren of those who fought
for it first, and the breakdown of
Spanish power came under the grand
son of him who first tried to curb
the liberties OF the free burghers.
The Boer republics are dead, but
the Boer people live. Why may they
not bide their time, dreaming of a
civil future as glorious as their
battled past? They are still the great
majority of the white people in
South Africa, and neither crown adj
ministratlon mol assisted emigration
can diminish their relative numbers,
if they continue to live the stern
and simple life of their patriarchal
past. Time will be their friend and
the laws Of nature will fight for
them. They are a, race of strong
men, who do not spend their man
hood in Cleveland street orgies.
They are a race of chaste women
who do not conspire with a degraded
profession to defeat the purposes OF
nature. Their men husband one
woman-if you don't count Kafirs-
and their women mother swarming
|broods Of stalwart sons.
If they are still ignorant of some
Of the virtues Of civilization, they
have not yet learned the vices that
make it fatal to- the yigor of a race.
They are as Gproliic as the Irish, and
they will fill South Africa with men
who can remember and know how to
wait. Why should not the future
be theirs some day, when the British
empire has begun to weaken under
repeated shocks, and some sea power
has grown up which may do for them
what France did for us?: Th e beau
tiful dream of the United States of
South Africa has been eclipsed, but
observers of history regard such
eclipses with the eye of science,
rather than with the superstition of
savages who look upon the sun as
blotted.out forever.

SNOW In

81 saw Venice once under unusual
circumstances" said a traveller. "At
the time of which I speak that sunny,
smiling land was wrapped in snow.
Our folks were a bit surprised, but the
natives were amazed. To the real We
netians snow is a thing they do not
know how to deal with. Many persons
remain all day in bed INDUCING in hot
drinks and pass their time in doing
nothing. The children, to their extreme
satisfaction, are not sent to school, as
the streets and squares are covered
with snow. Those courageous persons
who venture abroad only walk at the
slowest pace. To cross a bridge is con-
sidered hazardous, if not foolhardy. st.
Marks square is entirely deserted.

Life Begins.

Nebraska City Tribune: Well,
school is over; out forever, too, fora
good many of the young people who
stood up half boy and girl and half
man and woman, before the public
last night. What will they do next?
We gather that they all mean to
work that they have a high ideal.
of the work that lies in store for
them. Possibly they are not so fully
aware that this will not differ ma
terially from the labors they have
been accustomed to, and which very
likely they have liked the least. A
mans work consists largely of saw
ing one cord Of wood, and then in
a few days, saving another; OF clear
ing the weeds out of a garden patch,
and then next week doing the same
thing over again. A woman's work
consists for the most part Of getting
meals and then clearing them away,
tending babies and mending clothes.
These are things the boys and.girls
have escaped to some extent, through
being in school. When they find
that the work that is ahead Of them
is nothing more than the tedious
tasks that their elders have thus far
performed for them, and that enter
ing upon life means merely taking
larger rations of what they don't like
to do, there is likely to be a sense of
disappointment. But life consists of
much digging and little poetry, and
thatnis the truth of the matter.

The Sioux City Journal makes
rather serious criticism on the
platform adopted by the republican
convention at Sioux Falls, and thinks
that the convention ought to have
turned out a better document than
that which was sent forth. The
paper holds that it is a decidedly
weak on points whre i fought to have
been strong, and that it covered an
Immense amount of ground without
getting at the meat of the question.
The Minneapolis Journal. we notice,

the party appeared in the afternoon
edition Of the Journal on Wednesday

Deafness Cannot be. Cured

There is only n way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out andthis
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever.
Nine cases out of ten are caused by

FELIX ApLERs coon SERVICE.

Felix Adler, the present county
treasurer Of Logan county, will be re
elected by the largest majority ever
received by any county official in Ok

ceeding GEO for Adler And such a
majority is no more than just It will
be a deserved compliment to one of
the best officials Logan county ever
had Adler is no experiment He has
shown his fidelity TO a public trust
and his ability to discharge it. Ad-
ler's Office is the most important in
the county 1t has to do with the
safe guarding Of the peoples money
That Adler has performed his duty
faithfully the past two years IS at
tested by the fact that not one word
OF criticism has been lodged against
him. Adler is business man and he
has kept his office in a business like
manner His books are straight and
regular; his account scrupulously ex-
act and mis- reports issued during the
past two years have been intelligent
and comprehensive at a glance.
Logan county Is growing; the Deo-
pie are filled with busine and they
deem this no time to turn down
loyal and capable official for YER

sires Of a plug ugly ring.

hall be determined and paid in the

shall be determined and paid in the
same manner
II is really surprising that one who
ought to know better would attempt
10 palm off such bold assertion as
that quoted without any other founda
tion than the desire to sustain fail
ing cause
Let us examine this statement a
little more in detail.
The first bold unfounded assertion
is that there is not one foot Of public
road IN Indian territory.
The laws Of the Cherokee nation
provide that the district judges shall
have power TO lay out pubic roads
and the other nations have similar
provisions. Under this power thous
ands of miles of wagon roads have
been opened in the last fifty years
and some as fine roads as can be
found anywhere are laid out in the
Indian territory. Apparently Mr..
lynn forgets this.
But this is not the most surprising
feature. He tells the intelligent people
Of Oklahoma that the would have to
pay for opening the Dads of Indian
territory and that it would cost seven
million dollars
Such proposition cannot be sus-
tained for one moment Aside from
the act of congress there would be no
difference between Indian allotments
in Indian territory and in Oklahoma,
all would stand on exactly the same
footing and be subject to the same
laws. In case it became necessary to
swerve from the sectional line and
anyone suffered any special damages
they would be assessed against the
county and paid by the board of coun-
ty commissioners just as is the case
in Oklahoma and every other state or
territory.
The idea that all the roads in In
dian territory would have to be paid
for by the territory is the vilest po.
litical buncombe yet poured out on a
long suffering public.
Roads have always been the par
dcular business of the counties in
which they were located and could
under no consideration the least
concern the territory in general.
Running riot in the use of words
Flynn even says that Oklahoma tax
payers would have 10 pay that seven
million dollars, which is so absurd as
to need only o statement 10 condemn
it.
This public roads scarecrow is a
good sample Of the kind of campaign
stun being iammed down the throats
of an innocent public by Republican
spell binders.

A HOT AlR FACTORY.

The dispatch in the Oklahomar
yesterday morning, stating that =
fake dispatch was maze at Guthri,
wherein Flynn was made to deny his
words at Watonga, is fair sample
Of the emanations Of the hot air fac
tory at Guthrie. In all things the end
is made to justify the means If the
campaign committee OF the Republi
can candidate wants anything in par
ticular, all Il has to do is to make
the order and II IL filed forthwith by
the newspaper coursesans that are
employed for that purpose.
But the faxed dispatch which stat
ed that Flynn had taken back his
words in the watonga speech was a
little too punk to stand the wash Of
ordinary Intelligence The fellow
who was assigned The job must have
been a green hand. He even had it
dated at Ardmore, down in the mid
die OF the Chickasaw nation, more
than a hundred miles from where Mr.
Flynn was on the day of the dispatch
was sent He ought to be given a
course Of training in the hot air bust
ness before being given such a heavy
job.
However, no one was disposed to
believe that Delegate Flynn ate the
dish OF crow that he vas reported to
have eaten. There are many people
who have heard him declare that he
is fully able to push the omnibus bill
through the senate at the winter ses-
sion Of congress, with the help he has
pledged. He is not the sort of a man
to go back on these statements, es-
pecialy for a gang of political cut
throats VINO butchered him at the
Enid convention. Everybody who
knows Flynn and the circumstances
knew when they saw the bogus dis
patch from "Ardmore" that the whole
thing reputed to him was a manu-
factured lie out of whole cloth, and
that it was never outside the Office
in which it originated until it was
published.
The Mcclure managers are in bad
way. They art now finding It neces-
sary to bolster up a campaign that is
going to pieces by putting falsehoods
into the mouth of some Of their best
men But they are the class of fel
lows who would sacrifice anything TO
accomplish an end desired.
Flynn has never denied the Waton-
ga speech II was denied without his
or consent, at the behest
Of those who tried TO assassinate him
politically at tie Enid convention.
Their hot air factory made it to or
der.

cAgeKs ANp ceAeEs COME !. B


4 persistent attempt has been made
by Mcclure and his federal official
supporters to magnify the time nee
essary to allot the lands of the In
dian territory. one would suppose
from their talk that il would take
years TO complete the momentous
task that IS. the talk they have in
dulged in since they fopped within
the last ten months when they partic-
ipated prominently in the Muskogee
single statehood convention.
The lands of the Greek nation have
already been allotted and patents is
sued II appears that such a fact as
this is rot deemed worthy Of mention
when they are making their sweeping
statements The other nations ere
rapidly progressing with the work
which there is no reason to believe
cannot be completed at an early date.
Fortunately the people are inform
ed on these matters and only need
10 have their attention called TO
them The attempt to make out,
thar Indian territory is not and can
not be made ready for statehood for
great many years to come, only
shows how scanty are the pretenses
with which the exfederal officehold
er seeks to cloud the conditions in
the Indian territory in order to delay
single statehood or any other kind,
The whole theory, however, that
the Indian territory must await state
hood until all IFS lands are allotted
is erroneous and against the well
known preoedents in Oklahoma and in
ihe states
The Usage nation is in Oklahoma
It's lands are not allotted. but no one
has been heard to raise his voice In
favor OF shutting them out from ad
mission with Oklahoma on that ac
count Indeed both the Republican
and Democratic platforms favor theh
Incorporation as an organized eoun
ly.
But the Creek nation, whose lands
are allotted In severaity, is held NJ
as unprepared for statehood.
There is some beautiful consistency
IN these attitudes no doubt but q
