GOOD FOR KAW INDIANS.
Each Tribesman Will Be Allotted
4O5 Acres of Good Land.

Arkansas City, Kas., May 12.-The
deeds for the first allotments to the
Kaw Indians have been filed out and
sent to Washington for the approval of
the secretary of the interior.
This allotment of the Kaw lands is
the fastest on record. 1t was only a
little more than a year ago that the
kaws concluded to divide their land,
and each Indian was allowed to select
$50 acres. A short time after a law was
passed enabling the Indians to divide
the lands. The KaW agent O. A. Nit
scher subagent of the KaW reserva ton,
and three members of the KaW tribe,
were chosen as the commission to COM
plete the allotment, and the work was
finished within the thirty days allowed
the commission, although the actual
work of alloting the land did not occupy
more than two days.
There are "a members of the tribe.
Each viii receive 405 acres of as good
land as is to be found in the territory.
This division of the land viii not dis
solve the tribal relations. Any Indian,
from the tribe and dispose of his land
as he chooses. The other Indians will
be allowed to dispose of their land at
the end of ten years, and at the end of
twenty-five years may sell their allot-
ments. The land that was allotted to IN
dams who have died since the allotment
began, will be sold to the highest bidder
Besides this land each Indian will re-
ceiye about $1,000 in cash, and in add
ton will be allowed to lease his land for
a term of years. 1t is believed that this
plan viii induce many whites to locate
on the reservation.

Rapid Increase in the Population of
Greater New York.

New York, May 12.-Statistics COM
piled by the board of health show that
the population of the city of New York
is increasing at a remarkably rapid rate
The births reported in Manhattan
borough alone during the first tour
months of the present year were 2,oOO IN
excess of those reported IN the sans
period last year.
IT is pointed out that the cosmopolitan
population and the large proportion or
foreigners in the city may account Tor
the high birth rate.
II J. Leederle, president Of the board
of health says one reason for an IN
crease in the number of births reported
over former years may be due to the tact
that the health department now holdS
any physician accountable who negleets
to report q birth.
At the same time that an increase IN
the birth rate is shown there has been
a falling off In the percentage of deaths.
In 1900 the total number of births IN
the city was 81, 721 and the birth rate
IN each thousand of population was
