WILL BLACKLIST,
He Says, Any Town Which Has
Employed Lobbyists to

An evidence of the crooked
work of the county seat and court

members of the house committee
on Indian affairs wanting to know
ii il was true that Okmulgee and
Sallisaw had been selected by the
committee az places for holding
court in the Indian territory,
through the efforts of certain lob
byists, who are in Washington on
Indian territory legislation. The
answer was made promptly tina.
the selection of these places for
the holding of the court had been
made at the suggestion of Judge
Raymond, of the United States
court of the Indian territory. The
further information was given thai
no town would be selected for
court locations or for county seats
If gould be shown that the towns
had contributed to any o. the
schemers, who have been securing z
money on their professed ability

In discussing the work Of these
schemers who have found easy

Representative Charles Curtis. OF

Angry parson stabs Foe.

Paducah, KY, October 2s.---
Through an unfortunate misunder-
standing Rev. George Wayerly
Briggs, ID. d., pastor of the Broad
way Methodist church in West Ken
tucky, tonight stabbed Il. j. Carr,
proprietor of The Inn, fashionable
boarding house. The weapon used
was small pocket-knife. The blade
entered the small of the back, on the
left side, inflicting a serious, but not
fatal wound. The affair occurred
about Z O'Clock at The Inn, where
Briggs's family is living. Mr.. Carr
had been skylarking with the minis
ter's little 9-year-old son, Waverly,
and lifted the lad from the floor, in
tending to swing him upon his
shoulder. The boys head struck
a banister rail of the staircase, badly
bruising his face and cutting the
scalp. The lads screams brought
his father. Sobbingly the victim of
the mishap said Mr.. Carr had struck
HIM. Believing in his excitement
that the boy meant Carr had as
saulted him, DR.. Briggs put the
question: "Did you hit himP" He
understood Mr.. Carr to say that he
had. Carr says he answered no
twice. Tried to ager, the clergyman
dealt the boarding house proprietor
a blow. Mr.. Carr returned the blow.
A rapid exchange of rights and lefts
followed. 1t the heat of the struggle
DIR. Briggs drew and used his knife,
although he has no recollection of
stabbiDg Mr.. Carr. A physician
was called and the injured mans
wound was dressed. He is resting
easy at midnight. The affair, which
created a sensation, is deeply re-
GREETED by both gentlemen.

Besides, chicken cannot swallow
the large grasshoppers that occasion
ally infest northwestern Kansas
fields. Some of the young turkeys
are not equal to the task, but the old
gobblers can handle almost anything
in the insect line. A turkey is al
ways better for destroying grasshop-
pers after he has had season to get
acquainted with his duties. Some
breeds of turkeys will destroy more
grasshoppers than others, and the
farmer who gets breed which ac-
quires reputation for slowing away
huge quantities of the insects will
get good price for his eggs the
next spring I have known cases
where flock of turkeys has pro-
tected the crops during the summer
and then brought the farmer $500
when he had no more use for them"

Cows Dying at Williamson.

Williamson, October 3O.-Con-
siderable uneasiness and anxiety has
been caused here within the last few
days on account of the death of q
number of COWS from what appeared
very mysterious cause and in order
to give the cause thorough investi.
cation, DR.. j. r. Foster, the States
assistant vetinary at Clemson, was
summoned and came down this morn
ing. After post mortem examina-
ton he pronounced the disease
"Iexas fever," which he says is in
durable, the best remedy being to
separate all cattle which are in.
tested from the others. He says the
disease is communicated by what is
commonly known as the "tick'' and
after a COW comes in contact with
the disease through this medium,
and is taken sick, nothing will save
her from death, which follows within
a few hours. 1t is to be hoped that no
further loss will be sustained through
the influence of this deadly germ in
this county.

An Example Of Chicken Raising.

AS little example of what can be
done with chickens, when one tries
in the right way to make it profit
able, is afforded by our good friend,
>. A. Hutchinson, in this city. Mr..
Hutchinson is pretty busy at the
railroad shops most of the time, but
he has succeeded in raising some
very nice chickens. He has eight
pullets and four roosters of the
plymouth Rock Strain. They are
just five months old, and he gets all
the eggs he can use from them. He
weighed the chickens at three months
old, and one of them weighed 81
pounds. They cost little to keep,
and help out the breakfast table
wonderfully. 1t strikes everybody
as strange that somebody else does
not go into chicken farming as a
business in this section when such
examples as this are shown them,
but probably everybody is like our
selves, willing to do it if they could
just get a start.-Florence Times.

plsapproves "cIoso communlon."

AT the recent meeting of the South
Carolina Synod of the Evangelical
Lutheran church novelties in admin
istration of the sacrament and close
communion were both disapproved.
The following action was adopted !:
"Reselved, That this Synod dis
claims the intention of giving official
endorsement to any new mode in the
administration of the Lords Supper"
In view of the fact that some of
the congregations of the Synod and
many of the members of her churches
had been greatly agitated during the
past year by the contention of some
that none but Lutherans should be-
permitted to commune in Lutheran
churches, and on the other hand by
the contention on the part of Others
that the ministers who officiate in
the celebration of the sacrament of
the Lords Supper should give what
is commonly known as general inyi-
tation, it was deemed necessary by
many of the members of the SYNOD
that the attitude of the Synod to-
ward these two questions should be
defined. After consideration in the
Ministerium and frequent private
conference, it was decreed best to
formulate the following resolutions,
which were passed by the Synod
without negative vote:
"Whereas, neither the United
Synod of the South nor South Caro-
lima Synod has ever subscribed to
the doctrine of lutheran altars
for Lutheran communicates only,'
commonly called close communion
therefore, be it
"Resolved, That the Synod looks
with disfavor upon any and all efforts
looking to the enforcement of the
doctrine within its bounds.
"Resolyed, That it is the sense of
this Synod that the adequate COM
munlon service of the Evangelical
Lutheran church is that contained
In the communion service"

MAKE THEIR OWN LIVING.
Kansas Turkeys Protect Crops from the Grass
hoppers.

Farmers in Western Kansas,
Eastern Colorado and Southern Ne
braska no longer look on grasshop-
pers as pest and menace to crops.
Instead, the insect is regarded as
valuable asset, and the arrival of a
Jwarm of them is hailed with as much
delight as is good harvest of some
minor crop. The change in the at
titude of the farmers toward the
grasshopper is the result of the dis
covery that they are excellent food
for turkeys.
More than quarter of a century
ago grasshoppers destroyed thous-
ands of dollars worth of crops in
Kansas, and gave the State it's first
reputation for suffering. The farm
ers in those days raised no turkeys
and the insects had full sway. To-
day thousands of turkeys are owned
in the western part of Kansas. The
fowls live almost exclusively on
grasshoppers, and each bird is said
to be able to consume between a
pint and quart of the insects a
day.
The discovery that grasshoppers
make good food for turkeys was
made three years ago by Albert
Whitlock, Smith county farmer.
The next year he raised 800 turkeys,
and not only kept his own farm clean
of grasshoppers, but made good
profit off the turkeys by renting
them to his neighbors who were
troubled by the grasshoppers. The
next year his neighbors began rails
ing turkeys. They set the turkey
eggs under their hens, and as soon as
the young fowls were large enough
to provide for themselves they were
taught to hunt grasshoppers. 1t is
easy to teach them, as they soon be-
come very fond of the insects.
"It is wonderful" said Railroad
Commissioner j. M. Fike, of Colby,
recently, "the way flock of turkeys
will clean the grasshoppers out of a
field. A turkey is naturally an in
sect eater, and he likes grasshoppers
better than the smaller insects when
he learns TO eat them. A drove of
turkeys is worth considerable money
and grassbopper feed costs nothing.
AT the end of q season farmer can
sell his turkeys after having used
them TO protect his crops during the
summer. 1t is a pretty sight to see
a flock of trained turkeys sweep
across field Of alfalfa and eat the
grasshoppers.
"Chickens are worthless in the
work of destroying insects. They
are really more domesticated than
turkeys and stay closer to the farm
buildings. They depend on grain
for their living, while turkey needs
little grain where insects abound.

Roosevslfs Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Washington, October 29.-Presi-

proclamation to-day naming Thurs
day, November 9th, as Thanks
giving Day. The proclamation is as
follows:
"According to the yearly custom
of our people, it falls upon the
President at this season to appoint a
day of festival and thanksgiving to
God.
"Over a century and quarter has
passed since this country took its
place among the nations of the earth,
and during that time we have had,
on the whole, more to be thankful
for than has fallen to the lot of any
other people. Generation after gene
ration has grown to manhood and
passed away. Each has had to bear
its peculiar burdens, each to face its
special crisis and each has known
years of grim trial, when the country
was menaced by malice, domestic or
foreign levy, when the hand of the
Lord was heavy in it with drouth or
flood or pestilence, when in bodily
distress and anguish of soul it paid
the penalty of folly and froward
heart. We have struggled onward
and upward. We now have abun-
dantly enjoyed well being and under
the favor of the Most High we are
striving earnestly to achieve moral
and spiritual uplifting. The year
that has just closed has been one of
peace and of overfowing plenty.
Rarely has any people enjoyed
greater prosperity than we are now
enjoying. For this we render heart
felt and solemn thanks to the Giver
of Good, and we seek to praise Him
not by words, but by deeds also.
"Now therefore, /, Theodore
Roosevelt, President of the United
States, do hereby designate as day
of general thanksgiving Thursday,
the twenty-seventh of the coming
November, and do recommend that
throughout the land the people cease
from their ordinary occupations and
in their several homes and places of
worship render thanks unto Almighty
God for the manifold blessings of
the past year.
Gin witness whereof, 1 have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be
affixed.
