Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1902-03-20

Many so-called successful men are
their own worst enemies. They would
never think of abusing horse or any
other dumb animal as they impose
upon themselves. They go without
eating, are irregular at meals, and rob
themselves of sleep and recreation; in
fact, they violate every law of their
physical and mental natures, and yet
wonder why they are gray-halred, dys-
peptic ana broken down before middle
life. They cannot understand why
their ambition and greed to get on in
the world should not be the measure
of their strength, and so they go on
forcing their brains to work when
every particle of nervous energy
which was stored up the previous
twenty-four hours has been exhausted.
1t makes all the difference in the
world to you whether you cut off five,
ten or fifteen years of your life by
foolish indiscretions, abusing yourself
by overworking, or depriving your
self of needed rest-by not knowing
exactly how much you can stand-or
whether you save those precious years
by obedience to the laws of health.
Many people cramp Uneir powers and
dwarf their possibilities by denying
selves the comforts which make life
harmonious and greeable.-Success.

Washington, March 17.-Seuator
Penrose has introduced as an amend
ment to the pending resolutions pro-
viding for the election of United States

A plurality of votes cast for candidates
for senators shall elect, and the electors
shall have the qualifications requisite
for electors of the most numerous
branch of the state legislature. Va
cancies in the representation of any
state in the senate shall be filled in the
same manner as such vacancies are now
filled in the house of representatives.
SIT shall be the duty of congress,
when fixing and apportioning repre-
ssntatives from the several states in
the house of representatives after every
census, to likewise fix and apportion
the representation of senators from
each state in the senate providing that
each state shall have at least two sena-
tors"

But 1 want to know whether this
salmon came from Washington OF

bearing of a conniosseur.
Soon the waiter returned with the
reply: 1.-The senator says it is a Pu-
get Sound salmon, and it has never
tasted anything but cream"
This satisfied the legislative epicure
from misunderstanding Post.

A magazine published in 1923 gives
the following method to improve water
for drinking:
Let the water, when boiled, be put
into common barrel churn, where ii
may be agitated to any degree tina:
may be wished for. In the course OF
its being thus agitated it will absorb
atmospheric air, and other elastic
fluids with which it may come in con-
tact. 1t will thus become a liquor
safe, palatable and wholesome, to be
obtained with little trouble and ex-
pense, and accessible in its utmost
perfection to the poorest Individual
Those who wish to drink this whole
some beverage in its utmost perfec-
ton should, after having it boiled and
filtrated, cause it to be churned a.
above directed, then bottled, with a
coupled of dried raisins in each bottlei
this will give it a sufficient quantity OF
fixed air. If then used it becomes
truly delicious.

SILL WORRYING OVER OIL.
cherokees Defy Department Because
Jealous of Leases.

So8Aoub OF Leases
vinita, 1. T., March 1.-THE Chero-
kee national council has defied the
federal government in deciding in ex-
ira session that none but instructed
delegates should be sent to Washing
ton to confer with the interior depart
ment regarding the treaty passed by
the last conncil The recommendation
of Chief Burlington that the delegation
go to Washington ''uninstructed" was
defeated.
In the original bill creating the dele
cation a clause was inserted instruct
ing the delegation not to accept any
amendments to the proposed treaty.
The interior department refused to re-
ceive an instructed delegation and in
timated to Mr.. Burlington that the
treaty would be held up, pending the
acceptance by the Cherokees of the de-
partment's orders in the matter.
While the revision of the bill was
defeated on technical grounds that the
government had not communicated
officially with the council in regard to
the matter, yet the opposition was
based entirely on the belief that the
departments order was inspired by
the Standard Oil company, which holds
leases of large tracts of oil lands in the
the Cherokee nation.
The treaty provides that the Chero-
KEGS be given a fee simple title to their
allotments and those opposed to revi-
sing the bill alleged that it was the
clause in the treaty which the govern
ment desires to amend SO as to give the
Indians only surface rights.
