Enid Wave: All citizens now agree
that a mistake has been made in the
growing Of the trees on the public square.
The midsummer trimming of last year
stunted all the trees except the locust
and il almost killed all the elms The
North Carolina poplars are all dead.
They are a poor tree for this country
as the South African borers bore holes
clear through them and let all the sap
out. 1t is reported that the public
square at Perry is the most beautiful in
the Strip. Il was planted in white elm
six years ago. and the trees were little
bits of sprouts sent through the mail.
The county commissioners have sold sew
eral hundred dollars worth OF the trees,
and have plenty more 10 sell. The trees
are now ten feet high. In as much as
many trees should be replanted on our
square It would be a good plan to pur-
chase as many as is needed from the
Noble county authorities. The white elm
is very hardy tree.

MISS STONE WELL
THREE DAYS AGO
CONSUL GENERAL DICKINSON
HAS RETURNED TO SOFIA AND
AN EARLY RELEASE OF THE
CAPTIVE is EXPECTED.

New York. January IA messenger
who has lust returned from the brigands
reports that Miss Stone and Nine. Tsilka
were well thirty-six hours ago, cables
the Samakoy, Bulgaria correspondent OF
the Journal and American.
Consul General Dickinson has returned
to Sofia and an early release Is expected.
The present obstacle is Mr.. Dickinson's
refusal to pay the cash before Miss Stone
is released The brigands demand Is first
the ransom and then the release. 1t Is
said however, in explanation that they
never violate the recognized brigand code
of honor, always freeing the captive when
the money is paid. The brigands want
the ransom deposited in the ground with
in Bulgarian Jurisdiction. Then they will
undertake to release Miss Stone within
Turkeys Jurisdiction. They want to be on
the Bulgarian side after the close of ne
gotiations. but this condition is not ur-
gent.
The district government of Samakoy
says the snow is forcing the brigands
to come to terms. II not released before
the middle of the month the brigands
will 20 into permanent quarters and ne
gotiations cannot be reopened until
spring.
'I have captured and killed many brig
ands," add the governor. "and the de-
lay in tracing or capturing the present
band Is caused by the Turkish troops
staying in the villages and fearing to
pursue the brigands into the mountains"

any sort have become difficult. The ma
jority of business houses have raised
their prices 8 to 10 per cent, and some
houses refuse to accept any but AmerI-
can coin, which is difficult to obtain ow-
ing to the vast speculative shipments of
coin during the past few months. Some
banks refuse to recognize the government
ratio and are following their own ratio.

of Mexican silver. The Americans whose
salaries are payable In Mexican dollars

The leading banks refuse to handle gov

had never been recommended by any

said this is a marked period of national

the decadence of British trade and that
the United Stats and Germany are capt

To-day 1 believe that our country stands

national growth and prosperity. The
building of the Nicaragua canal-a project

ADMIRAL SCHLEY WILL APPEAL
HIS CASE TO THE PRESIDENT
RumOr Says Roosevelt
Has Something Up Sleeve

Until yesterday the President has not
missed a chance to show his disapprovaI
of everything tending to a reopening of
the case. Secretary Longs approval of
the findings of the court of inquiry and
later the reprimand to Miles showed
plainly the bent Of the executive mind.
Now, however, there is change. The
Presidents interview with Schley is re-
ported as cordial in the extreme, the
President seeming more than willing to
review the case. The politicians are there
fore wondering what card Roosevelt is
holding up his sleeve.
